EARLHAM COLLEGE IS DIVORCE PROOF No Alumnus of the Institution Has Tried Legal Matrimonial Relief. RECORD.VERY UNIQUE ONE ALMOST A THOUSAND PEOPLE HAVE GRADUATED FROM THE COLLEGE AND THE MAJORITY OF THEM MARRIED. It Is the proud assertion of President Robert L. Kelly that no alumnus of Earlham college has ever figured In a divorce case. In view of the age of the institution and the fact that the number of alumni reaches close to the one thousand mark, the majority of whom, it is said, are married, the rec ord is most unique and perhaps without parallel among institutions of similar size anywhere in the country. This information is the result of a collection of data for the. alumni register, which is issued as a part of the college catalogue every three years. It is a curious fact that the divorce evil has never entered into the lives of Earlham graduates and tends to strengthen the theory advocated by many that the only true solution of the problem lies In securing an education. It has been suggested that perhaps the unprecedented record lies in the fact that the large majority of the graduates are Quakers, and the religious creed of the Friends prohibits the securing of a divorce. It is hoped that future generations will sustain this record. ' Many of the candidates for degrees at the college who have been working on their theses for over a year, are making their final spurt now. The subjects have been finally passed on and confirmed by the faculty. There are forty-three seniors whose subjects have been accepted. The finished productions must be in the hands of the head of the daptrment under which they are written on the third Wednesday preceding commencement day.

MAN

CHIEF GORMON SAYS THAT THE MORAL CHARACTER OF LOCAL FORCE MAKES THE PLAN UNNECESSARY HERE.

The international movement started by George T. B. Lewis, of Birming ham, England, to form the policemen of the world into bible classes, is not looked upon with any great degree of favor by the coppers in Richmond. In fact, the blue coats do not warm up to the suggestion a bit. The plan has been adopted in several of the cities over the country within the past few weeks. The policemen are given small pocket testaments and made to promise that they will road a portion of the Scripture every day. In Des Moines, la., the idea has been taken up and is said to be meeting with great success. Views of Gormon. Chief of Police Gormon, when asked this morning why such a plan would not be a good thing for the cops in this city, stated that it was not necessary. He declared that the moral character of the local police was perhaps of as high a standard as any other police force in the United States and there would be no object in forming them into Bible classes, as all of the men read the Bible in their homes. "Compelling a person to do a thing seldom accomplishes the desired result.' said the chief. "The plan may work all right in England," he continued, "but I do not believe it will be a howling success in this country. However, In cities like Chicago and other large places where the police never read the bible unless made to do so, it undoubtedly is a good thing for the community, in that it tends to raise the caliber of the men on the force." WILL EIGHT CLAIM Anna Murphy and others, who are named defendants in a suit brought by George T. Kepler for possession of real estate and demand of $73 damages, will fight the case and have engaged Wilfred Jessup to represent their claims. Answer in general denial to the allegations of the complaint has been filed. SUBMITTED TO VOTE (American News Service; Chicago, Feb. 4. Representatives of the 32,000 members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen who were offered arbitration by the officials of 31 railroads, have left the city to submit the matter to a vote of the rank and file. The officials and representatives have agreed to meet again March 7. The vote will then have been taken. BOOM FOR SQUASH RACKETS. National and Intercity Championship Scheduled to Be In Philadelphia.

The treasurer reported that the finances of the association were in a most flourishing condition, and the secretary reported that overtures" had been received from New York, Pittsburg and Altoona. Pa., with a view to these cities becoming members of the organization, and it is more than probable that they will be enrolled as members in due course. It was decided that the intercity championship between Boston. Philadelphia and Baltimore shall be played this year at Baltimore on Feb. 11 and 12 and that the national championships shall be held at the Racket club from Feb. 28 to March 5, inclusive.

PALLADIUM WANT ADS PAY.

AND AS THE TOWNSHIP HAD TO SUPPORT THEM, PROPOSAL WAS MADE THAT THEY MAKE INFIRMARY A HOME.

Declaring that they wanted to be left alone, but also wanted coal to keep their hovel above the freezing mark, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Shoop, the most expensive pauper family in the city, this morning made an effectual remonstrance to the proposals of Township Trustee James Howarth and Probation Officer, Mrs. Elizabeth Candler, who suggested that they go to the poor farm. When Mr. Howarth and Mrs. Candler arrived at the chack, which the Snoop's call home, and which is located on the extension of South High street, the door was shut in their faces. Not until Samuel Jaffe, the owner of the property, was summoned and attempted to gain access by a key to the door did the Shoop's respond to the summons of their unwelcome callers. Mr. Jaffe was warned not to open the door, after he had unlocked it, on peril of his life, for Mr. Shoop said that he would cut his head off if he entered the room. .Taffe heeded the advice, but Mr. Howarth and Mrs. Candler were permitted to come in. Was Not Impressed. It was proposed that the two go to the poor farm and spend the rest of their days. Mr. Howarth said that the township could not afford to keep them on the charity list, and, since it is apparent that the. Shoops must be the recipients of public aid, he advised the county infirmary as their residence for the future. The husband, who is in a very weak physical condition because of an affliction to one of his legs, was not impressed and flatly announced that all he intended to do was to get coal from the township and stay right where he was. He was supported in this by his wife. During the past year the township expended $5G in the interests of the Shoop family. Mr. Howarth said today that if he had a few more families of the Shoop variety on his list, the tax rate would either have to be raised or else the township would have to cut down on its charity. He believes the Shoop family should be placed in charge of the county. Want Get Child Back. During the conference this morning, Mr. Shoop stated that he would spend $300 in getting possession of Vernace Ruth French, a child of unknown parentage, who was recently taken from the Shoop's possession and placed in the care of a state orphanage asylum. Mr. Howarth thought that he ought to spend this amount in providing for his own and his wife's wants but it is not likely that Shoop's financial circumstances are s he boasts. The landlord wishes to get possession of the property in order that he may build a house on it in the spring. The Shoops won't move and he does not like to eject them by process of law. He has made several proposals to pay Mr. and Mrs. Shoop a small sum to move, that he may obtain possession. AGED MAN STRICKEN Stricken with a slight attack of apoplexy while waiting his turn in Guyer's barber shop on East Main street, Thomas McCarthy, father of John F. McCarthy, president of the Commer cial Club, fell over on the floor unconscious. A physician was summoned and the aged man was revived. He was removed to his home in the city ambulance. Owing to Mr. McCarthy's age, 79 years, it was feared that the attack would prove serious at first. However, his condition is greatly im proved today and he is recovering rap idly, it is said.
