SNELL CLAIMS A SHARE OF GREAT

SPRINGER ESTATE

(Continued From Page One.)

of his death he was the owner of one

tract or land including 144 square miles, another of 3,600 acres and sixty-two small farms. On a part of this

land the city of Wilmington, Delaware now is located. Expect Success. It Is to obtain the combined fortunes created by the old Baron back in Sweden and Germany and that of his Bon Charles, in this country, that the Springer heirs now are striving. The grant of land owned by Charles Springer, which was made to the colony was for ninety-nine years. This lease , expired in 1SS0. The organiza

tion of heirs has begun a systematic attempt to secure the fortune. They expect success although it is claimed by those opposing them the statute of limitations and other technical requirements have made their claims void." Several -firms of attorneys are associated in the , work and they keep sending out flattering reports about the probable early settlement.

IN ONLY A FEW PLACES IN AMERICA HAS SUCH A PRODUCTION BEEN PRODUCED AND IT WILL , BE WATCHED. , . mmmm ' Three hundred Invitations in Latin have been sent out by4he Latin club of Earlham college for a performance in English and Latin of "Trinumnus of Plautus'." ' The plav is to be given at the college on next Saturday night. The play Is unusual inasmuch as it will be an attempt at an accurate presentation along the old Roman lines. The costumes and the scenery, the music and the acting will be as nearly as possible archeologically correct. Although it is customary for Greek and Latin plays to be given at the English universities of Cambridge and Oxford, there have been very few attempts made in this country, owing to the great difficulties of the perform

ance, and Earlham has been the only college in Indiana to attempt it. The acting of a Latin play, necessarily, has to be full of understanding of the text. To be intelligible to the audi

ence the acting must be good panto-

mine, since most of the audience must

follow the play in this way.

Part Is. In English. Part of the play will be given in

English, for which tho translations of

the play have been made very suc

cessfully as acting versions by mem

bers of the Latin club, under the su

pervision of Prof. C. K. Chase of tie college. He has also given much time

and attention to the play. In this he

is not without experience, as be put on the production of the "Captivi," al

so by Plautus, a few years ago at Earlham, which was then regarded as

an unusual success. Several instruc

tors from the various colleges were

present to see the play. It was customary in the old Roman plays to have much of the dialogue accompanied by music somewhat like our comic opera. Music will be used at the performance next Saturday night written by the late Prof. Allen of Harvard, who made an exhuastlve and authoratlve study of the old Latin music. The whole affair' promises to be a great success and one which will reflect ' credit on the Latin club and Prof. Chase, in spite of the difficulties which such a thing entailB.

Anderson. Ind., May 27. Unable to withstand the campaign made by the women and children, the liberal element of Madison county yesterday lost the most notable local option battle yet fought in Indiana. The complete returns show that the women have run up a majority of 1,470 against the saloons. This county was regarded until recently as an almost -impregnable stronghold of the "wet" element The business men here have been successful In killing off remonstrances against applicants for liquor licenses, and the saloon keepers as a rule have not been of the ultra-odious brand. When the election was called the Anti-Saloon Leaguers set to work to make a perfect organization in every precinct The result indicates that they succeeded beyond their expectations, as Alexandria, which was counted on for a "wet" majority of several

hundred, gave a "dry" majority of 160.

Elwood, another large city, went dry

by nearly 1,000 majority.

Towns Aid Dry Vote. The smaller cities and towns added

to the dry avalanche so that the wet majority in Anderson was insufficient

to overcome the odds.

The election here marked the begin

ning of the anti-saloon crusade in the large wet centers, so both sides fought

every inch of the way.

It was not however, until the wo

men began to take a hand that the tide

turned against the liberals and the liq

uor interests. It was apparent to

many that the drys would win when

thousands of women and children pa

raded the streets of Elwood. Alexandria and Anderson last Saturday.

The women not only paraded, but they preached and prayed with their men folks. They helped get out the

vote today and served choice viands

to the voters and t the workers.

Mrs. Mowery. one of the workers.

showed the grit and determination of the women by making a twenty-mile

trip with her eighty-four-year-old fath

er to register his vote. Farmers Scared Huhyaks.

In Alexandria it was thought that aa effort would be made to vote the Hunyaks employed In the factories. Twenty husky farmers, armed with, hickory clubs, stood around the voting place and scared away the few - foreigners

who presented themselves.

Two or three arrests were made for

illegal voting, hut the election was unusually quiet considering the determi

nation manifested by both sides. .
