Earlham closed the most successful basket ball season, last Friday night, which the Quakers have ever indulged in during their basket ball career, when she succeeded in beating Rose Poly 27-27 for the second time this year, in the most exciting game ever witnessed in Richmond. This game does not only give Earlham the secondary championship, but ranks her second with Purdue, which is first among the colleges and universities of the state." The following schools are those which Earlham ranks above: Itose Poly, Indiana. Notre

Dame, Wabash, DePauw, Hanover, Franklin. Butler, and State Normal. Itose has lost to the Quakers twice, by the scores of :M to L'7 and "J 7 to I'S. Indiana broke even with Rose and lost to Purdue by a bigger score than Earlham did. although it was the local's first game. This easily ranks Earlham above Indiana. How the Dope Looks. Wabash won from Notre Dame 19-17 and Michigan Aggies succeeded in winning from them twice, and the Aggies were in turn beaten by both Rose Poly .11-27 and .Wabash. Earlham won from the scarlets :;0-25. This ranks the Quakers above Wabash and Notre Dame.. Earlham won from . Hanover 'J'.i to .". DePauw only played Rose once and lost to them 44; to 17; they broke even with Wabash. Butler won from DePauw 27-21 and since she has been beaten by Hanover twice and by Wabash, by large scores, and these teams were beaten by Earlham; although the Methodists succeeded in winning from the locals 31-22 at a time when the Quakers were playing their poorest game, during the entire season. State Normal and Butler can not be taken into consideration on account of their poor showings. The locals lost to Franklin on account of loor lights, and this is proven by the fact that Hanover , and Miami each Avon from them, twice by large scores. Hanover's last .game was rV-i;, ,and "Wabash also beat them by a big score. RUSHED TO PRISON Man Who Shot Three North Carolinians Protected From Mob.

AN

(American News Service) Kansas City, March 7. Jere Lillis,

banker and athlete, who was slashed with a knife twenty times by "Jack"' Cudahy, in the Cudahy mansion early Sunday morning, will recover from his injuries, although he will be badly scarred and disfigured. Fac ts revealed today created a shocking sensation. Lillis is believed to have been trapped by Cudahy who objected to his attentions to Mrs. Cudahy. who is the mother of five little chi! dren. Saturday night Cudahy told his wife he was going out of the city for a fewdays. A few hours later he came homf and sneaked in quietly with his latchkey, he being accompanied by his chauffeur. He found Lillis clad in hi3 underwear and Mrs. .Cudahy in neglige attire on a davenport. With the aid of his chauffeur Cudahy bound Lillis, secured a butcher knife and slashed the man's body, while his wife and maid looked on in horror, their screams mingling with the groans of the wounded man. Cudahy had warned Lillis to keep away from his wife. The trial of Cudahy was postponed until March l.", but will probably be dropped. COUNCIL NOT BUSY But Little, Outside of Routine Affairs, to Be Considered Tonight. AS TO METER INSPECTORS At the meeting of council this ev ening, very little important business will be considered, insofar as the city officials are aware. Aiiy business which conies before the 1 council, ex cepting consideration of routine matters, will Ke brought up by the councilmen. It is probable that final ac tion will be taken in regard to the ordi nance compelling meter inspectors for different corporations and others who visit private homes, to wear badges. The committee of council, to which the recommendation that the inspectors wear uniforms was referred, has reported adversely to this and it is probable the ordinance will only de mand that inspectors wear 'badges, and also carry certificates, from the heads of the concern for which they are employed, attesting to their auth ority.

Senator Beveridge's committee on territories agreed to report the Arizona and New Mexico statehood bill next Friday. Needed a Rest. "Rest is not quitting the busy career," says the poet. The truth of the saying was impressed on a family by Lulu, their colored cook. She was fat, lary and "notional." but her cooking was perfect, aDd Mr. and Mrs. Law-ton ignored her whims and reduced her work to minimum. Good cooks were so hard to get that the question of adding a feather's weight to Lulu's duties was discussed in a subdued whisper. One day Lulu resumed her position. "Why. Lulu." asked Mrs. Lawton. "what Is the matter? Is the work too hard for you?" "WelL ma'am." replied Lulu. "I'm all tired out. Pm going home to take In washing and rest up."

ARCADE

A voluminous petition for the pardon

of John Knapp. who was sentenced to life imprisonment In Michigan City penitentiary, "several years ago. for the murder of lnrae Geisler, marshal of Hagerstown. has Wen filed with the state board of pardons.

Attorneys Hobbins and Kobbins are representing the petitioners.

Attorney Henry l Johnson is representing those protesting against the pardon, but stated that he could not talk for publication relative to the protests filed with the board. It is probable that one of the members of the firm of Hobbins and Robbins and Mr. Johnson will attend the session of the pardon board at Indianapolis Friday. The size of the petition for the par don is largely due to the efforts of Henry Knapp, the young son of John Knapp. The boy spent much of his spare time after school and all of his Saturdays in calling upon residents and securing their signature to the petition for his father's pardon. Mrs. Knapp. the wife, and her chil dren, live in this city. It is probable that some of them will attend the par don board meeting Friday.

Johnson, assisting Wilfred Jessup, who was then prosecuting attorney. LOWE GETS BIG FEE Tax Ferret Allowed $730 for Tax Collection from a Dublin Man. CONTENTION IN ONE CASE Tax ferret Washington E.
