Harding in the race for the republican nomination for mayor is 8.2G2. Even his most sanguine supporters had never imagined any such victory as that which he achieved at Thurs day's primaries. He received 13,270 votes and Harding 5,008. Shank easily led the entire republican ticket, with Fred C. Owen, candidate for council in the Fourth district, second. Owen had , a plurality of 6,148.

4 if : i ft A 15 CRUMPACKER HAD WANTED TO QUIT Squabble Resulted from Duty On Petroleum Clause In Payne's Bill. REQUIRED TO CHANGE INDIANA MAN HAD BEEN HARD WORKER FOR MEASURE BUT STAID ON ' COMMITTEE TO AVOID MESS. Washington, Aug. 7. The Washington Times, under imposing headlines, today publishes what it claims is the story back of Representative Crumpacker's resignation from the ways and means committee. The Times as serts that he would have resigned long ago except for his aversion to creating a party scandal. The Times' account follows: "Representatives are not in the habit of resigning from the ways and means especially in circumstances which make reasonably certain that they may be retained. The reading of the letter of resignation caused a mild sensation, for everybody realized that back of it there was some remarkable story. Had Served on Committee. "Mr. Crumpacker was on the committee throughout the preparation of the Payne bill, and he bad been a hard worker. After the measure had been completed and was ready for reporting to the house the fight over the election of a speaker and the readoption of the old rules came up. It became sharp and close and it presently became apparent that the life of the old organization and the old rules bung in the balance and by a most slender thread. "At the very crisis of this fight the republican members of the ways and means committee were told on the highest authority of the house organization that they would have to reorganize the bill so far as concerned its relation to the duty - on petroleum. Under the Dingley act petroleum was subject to a countervailing duty. The committee had removed this and placed petroleum unqualifiedly on the free list. - Contemplated Resignation. "Crumpacker was so disgusted that he spent three days in solemn contemplation of whether he would not write the speaker a letter, resigning at once. He talked with close friends about it and was advised that to resign at that time when the reports were In circulation about the alleged deal to get voters in exchange for the oil duties would certainly stir up a sensation. It would" compel men to talk about things nobody wanted to talk about, and in all probability would cause the introduction of a resolution for an Investigation which would be likely to bring out various embarrassing things about the eleventh hour changes in the bill and about the interests which were taken care of in consideration of special relations to the higher powers of the house. "Crumpacker, to avoid a mess that would certainly be unfortunate for the party at the very beginning of the tariff consideration, decided not to resign. He took his medicine, acquiesced ia the oil duty and went through the mo tions of regularity." CASE WAS CONTINUED The case of the state ex rel : Ida Wadsworth against her husband, John Wadsworth. in the circuit court for $000 judgment was continued last evenjng gntil Monday, " 7-.

COHFEREfiCE IS TTOEIID Week Spent in Studying Bible Has Proved of Great Benefit to Ail. EXTENSION OF THE CHURCH ONE OF SUBJECTS CONSIDERED CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE USE OF MEDICINE WAS GIVEN DUE CREDIT. The Friends Bible institute which has been- held at Earlham college dur inz the past week was brought to a successful close this noon. The meet ing3 were very largely attended and much interest was manifest in the in stitute by Friends in Wayne and sur rounding counties. "The narrative of the flood has been disbelieved a great deal, but its details are reasonable and free from exaggeration." said Prof. Wright in his closing lecture on "The Geological Evidences of the Flood," before the institute this morning. Continuing he said: "The dimensions of the ark are close to those of the great ocean liners of today. The rise of the water in the flood is described as being gradual and long continued and its subsidence still more so. Some object that there was not enough water on the earth to cover the tops of the mountains but a sink ing of the earth could easily accomplish this. It is my settled belief that the story of the flood is a true ac count." On Church "Extension. Rev. Levi Pennington presented paper on "Church Extension Work of the Five Years Meetings. Rev. Pen nington discussed the needs of the church and gave a very interesting ac count of the work being done in Wash ington state, Omaha and Tennessee by the Quaker church. He stated that the church was yearly losing many mem bers and urged better organization in the larger cities. "v. In discussing "The Emmanuel Movement," Dr. Sylvester Newlin of Nobletfvttle; rndv, yesterday- afternoon explained the meaning and 'origin of the word Emmanuel. He stated that the word Emmanuel was given to the movement because it originated in one of the fashionable Episcopal churches' of Boston called the Em manuel church. In part he spoke as follows: A common synonym for the Emmanuel movement is psycho therapy, which means mind, cure, or the use of mental, moral and spiritual methods to help the sick. Campaign Against Medicine. Whatever just criticism we may have, we must admit the leaders this movement are not Charlatans The movement is a vigorous protest against a medicine enslaved people It is. a reaction against a wide spread belief that the church is impractical unsympathetic and. not in with the needs of the masses in their everyday life. It is claimed that this movement has become the evangelism of the cultivated." In a brief discussion that followed. Prof. Wright of Oberlin, quoted some one from Cleveland, as saying, l ne Emmanuel Movement is just Chris tian Science with a touch of Worces ter sauce added to it." "Mexico, a Field of Missions" was the subject of a very interesting pa per read by George Levering last eve ning. The missionary work done in that country and the opportunities for the advancement of civilization were dwelt upon at length by the speaker. Mr. Levering stated that the priests in Mexico (the people are nearly -all Catholics) were dishonest and impure and made no pretense of trying to educate the people to the proper belief.

Differences between Mrs. Isadore Wilson, one of the teachers In the high school and Superintendent Lee Ault of the Cambridge City school system, have been amicably settled by Prof. Ault recommending her reappointment. However, it is understood that owing to the serious difference between the school teacher and superintendent the organization of the school board was disrupted and this in a measure accounts for the refusal of Dr. Bovd to remain on the school board longer.

CHARITY BOARD

INSPECTS JAIL BY IUVITATI0I1 County Commissioners Solicited Visit to Make Report On Conditions C Existing There. CONFLICTS APPEAR IN VARIOUS PLANS OFFERED Law Prohibits Erection of a County Building at Easthaven So County Must Solve Problem. " Members of the Wayne county board of charities visited the county jail this afternoon in company with the county commissioners and Inspected the building. The visit was made on the request of the commissioners who are desirous that the charities board point out what repairs should be made ia order to make the jail satisfactory. As the inspection trip was not com pleted before the paper went to press the conclusion reached can not be stated at this time. However, previous to the Inspection, Miss Robinson, one of the members of the board stated that recommendations would be mads for Improving the sanitary conditions of the jalL One of the things mentioned was to fix the windows so that proper ventilation could . be secured. The present windows are very high and can be opened only after procuring a ladder. Therefore they are seldom opened because of the work at tached. Improper Plaos for Insane. In discussing the matter of keeplmf the Insane at the Jail Miss Robinson said that she thought this was not the proper place for their confinement while waiting admission to the East ern Indiana nospltau Conditions at the hospital due to the crowded condition are such that the insane can not gain admission. Miss Robinson says the charities board favors the erection of an addition to the jail which wouW used for the purptme ot bousIng the male Insane and also a ward for the confinement of delinquent children who had tO be punished by the authorities following their appearance In juvenile court. Miss Robinson does not believe that the county would need a new institution providing- this addi tion was made. . .

The Home for Friendless where women insane awaiting admittance are kept and also women prisoners is regarded as a very satisfactory place. Miss Robinson said that the Institu tion has been visited several times when the authorities were not expecting them and that every time they L, fmmd things satisfactory. The women Insane wnen it is necessary. can be placed in a ward entirely separ ate from the prisoners. Miss Robinson also said that the women's pris on of this county was regarded as a model institution all over the United States. - Laws proninit Plan. The charities board favors a plaa whereby the county would erect quar ters on the state ground at East ha yen where the Insane woold be cared for by the state officials. If the county was able to do this the insane would be transferred to the ward Immediately following the inquest and given thorough treatmenL However the so-. cieiy in 11s correspondence wiiu mMvm officials and Amos Butler, secretary . nf ttiA .tit. ftnant nt ttsrftlM UTI that this plan can not be carried out because the laws do not permit. Instead he recommended that the Inuna H rf tha mmiiiIt lie erected at the county Infirmary. The local charities board does not entirely agree with this plan. In any event they believe that their plan of an addition- to the county Jail would be more satis factory. Objection Is made to the county infirmary because of its dist ance from Richmond, sad that it is a hard matter to secure a superintendent to manage the infirmary 'under present conditions.
