PniSOllER'S PLAH : PROVES FAILURE Huntington Appeals to Ministers, to Gain Release: Offered a "Cure", SENT OUT MANY LETTERS

THEN THE PA8TOR8 'WAITED ON . HIM BUT TO HIS DI3GU8T ONLY OFFERED TO SEND HIM TO A KEELEY CURE. 'Wliile an inmate of tbe county Jail, nerving an eleven days' sentence for public Intoxication, Earl Huntington formulated a plan of release, which worked out In an entirely different fashion from what the schemer anticipated.";;; On the first day of bis confinement to the jail Huntington asked for pen, ink. and paper and addressed twelve page letters to all of the ministers of the - city, playing upon their sympathies. ' .'' :'.., Yesterday afternoon a delegation of ministers, Mrs. Mary Frame Selby and others, visited the Jail and had a long talk, with Huntington., Although hie letter was never given out for publication, it was learned that his plan was to have these persons ylsit Mayor Zlm merman and appeal to htm, for bis release. However, a caucus had been held by the -visiting delegation, before they talked with Huntington, and, it is said, they had planned to send him to some institution, either in Cincinnati or Indianapolis, at their own expense, and hiave him take the Keeley cure. After having made such -an earnest appeal Huntington could not very well have objected to this plan and he apparently keartlly indorsed it. After the' pleased committee left, Huntington entereed a very decided kick against such "outrageous" treatment. ' The other Jnmtes of the institution are making' the best possible Joke out of the matter. ' ' Huntington has been told that he will play the baBs drum, and that-if he stays at' the institution long enough for them to get out, they will be his guests and listen to the beautiful music.

STUIITEO HER BRAIN : A petition was" filed In the circuit court this morning to - have Blanche May Klrkland. placed in the home for feeble minded at Ft. Wayne. It is 41 toged by the physician wbo examined the uufortunate woman, who is but 18 Sears old, that she is suffering, ment ally from an injury which she received when six years old by being struck on the head with a stick of wood. She can not count past twenty and in ev ery way her actions are those of very small child. It is believed by the attending physician that she will re. .cover, or at least be very much im proved, by scientific treatment.

CAMBRIDGE WOMEN III HAIR PULLING

Mrs. Fields Invades Home of Mrs. Dolan and Hostilities Resulted. FORMER IS UNDER ARREST MRS. FIELDS AT FIRST HAD BETTER OF BATTLE, BUT MRS. DOLAN MADE GAME RALLY AND USED TEETH WELL. As the result of a fistic encounter in . which two women of Cambridge City tried out their pugilistic ability with direful results to both parties involved, Mrs. Jennie Fields was brought from Cambridge to the Home for tBe Friendless yesterday, nursing a badly banged up head and an injured arm. The fight occurred between Mrs. Jennie Fields and Mrs. John Dolan, but the cause for the controversy is not clear in the minds of the authorities. According to" Prosecutor Ladd, Mrs. Fields went to the home of Mrs. Dolan in Cambridge City and started the trouble. After taking a few jabs at the latter 'and playfully puncturing various portions of the woman's ana tomy with a . dinner fork, the tables were turned and Mrs. Dolan obtained a strangle hold and half Nelson clutch on Mrs. Fields which boded no good to the latter. Rules were discarded and seeing her way clear to bite a huge chunk out of Mrs. Fields's arm. Mrs. Dolan took advantage of the opportunity and got busy with her ivor ies. From then on Mrs. Fields was sorry for her visit as her opporent, besides leaving the imprint of her teeth, had a most unpleasant way of using her victim's head as a battering ram against an adjoining wall. Fortunately neighbors interceded and stopped the melee. If Mrs. Dolan desires it, an affidavit will be filed against Mrs. Fields, according to Prosecutor Ladd. Mrs. Dolan is freed from all blame, it is said, and was only defending her rights, as Mrs. Fields was the aggressor in the encounter. LIMIT IS REACHED Now Said That It Costs Too Much for Person to Die in Chicago, BLAME THE UNDERTAKERS (American News Service) Chicago, May 4. High cost of dying in Chicago is charged to collusion be tween undertakers and cemetery of ficials, improper conduct on tho part of officials of benevolent societies, col lusion between undertakers and physicians of the less reputable class and hospital attendants. The charre was made to the Citv club, in the report of an investigating committee of which Harry A. Smoot is chairman and today is being widely discussed by sociologists and others who are working to ameliorate conditions of v the poor. Circumstances surrounding - scores of funerals in many sections of "the 'city have been investigated and the report shows certain reasons for the high price charged by the undertakers but urges a lower scale and further investigation to that end- . ' BIG MILL ASSURED , (American News Service) Omaha, Neb., May Governor" Gillett of California, today cheered the pessimistic fight fan when he announced that he would make no effort to stop the holding of the JefferiesJohnson fight to be held in his state on July 4. The governor passed through this city at the head of a large delegation of enthusiastic Callfornlans en route to Washington, where financial aid from, the government will be sought for San Francisco's exposition which is to be held in 1915. - . When asked Whether it was true that he was contemplating closing the state to the professional pugilists because of the clamor made by ministers of certain denominations, he said that he would not interfere with the plans by calling the fight off. IS BOEHUE TO RUN? (Pallaaium Special) Washington, May - 4. Representative Boehne of Indiana declined today to say whether or not he will accept the nomination for congress if tendered him by the Democrat convention of the first district this afternoon, it is understood among democratic members of the Indiana delegation here, however, that Boehne will run again if the convention nominates him.

LACKEY HAS TWINS Each One Is a Beauty and Are Greatly Admired by His Many Friends. ONE "RINGER" FOR OTHER Frank Lackey has twins. , They are beauties. He is a very happy man. , The twins referred to are horses. One weighs 1130 pounds, the other 1125 pounds and since the day of their birth; six years ago, they have never bee3 separated an hour, 'if you get one a drink oT water, the other has to have a drink also." says Mr, Lackey. - These beautiful animals, which it is almost": impossible to tell apart, were raised by an eccentric and wealthy farmer in southern Indiana. After his death it was discovered in the will that he had provided that the horses should not be disposed of to any person living in tbe four ; neighboring counties. As the old man put it, he did not want the team to be driven to the cemetery : where j he was ; buried and have people point then) out and remark, t!:ey belonged ; to old man Smith who is buried here." FOR COfJCRETE WALL It is probable that a concrete retaining wall will be ordered built by the board of works at the city's sew erage disposal plant back of Eariham college. The heavy rain of Monday night, washed tbe dirt wall away and it Is believed that the erection of a concrete wall in Its place would be a paying investment.

The total amount of these unpaid subscriptions Is S2L - The finances are very . low. mils aggregating an ex

j- SWOW CRYSTALS. " They Invariably Conform to tho Rule

of Six. What magic is there in the role of six that compels the snowflake to conform so rigidly, to Its laws? Here is a germ bestrewn realm of nature possessing tbe eharui of mystery, of the unknown, sure richly : to reward tho Investigator. ' Much wonder Las been excited because tbe mow crystals exhibit such a bewildering , diversity and - beauty. They form within a very thin gaseous eolveut. the air, and this allows the molecules of water an unexampled freedom of motion and adjustment while arranging themselves in crystal form. The fact doultIess largely explalus why the crystals of snow far exceed other crystals in complexity and symmetry. Suow crystals, like all crystals of water, develop under the hexagonal system and inrariably divide into six. Nothing absolutely certain is known as to why they grow thus except as it is assumed tbe number and arraugement of the attractive and repellent poles possessed -by the molecules, of water ltuoose this habit of growth ou them. This dividing into six is necessarily discussed and best explained . in somewhat technical sounding terms. We may assume each water particle or molecule possesses two opposite primary poles, positive and negative, corresponding In direction with the main tabular axis of the crystals, aud in additiou three or six equidistant secondary poles arranged around, what may be called the equatorial diameters of tbe molecules. Water, being a diamagnetic substance and susceptible to polar repulsion, presumably has a tendency to' arrange itself thus iu a position between and at right angles to the primary electromagnetic poles. This alignment of the lines of growth opposite to tbe lines of greater magnetic force would compel the crystals of snow to grow mainly outward in the directions of their equatorial diameters and secondary ioles. This theory would perbaRS best explain why the crystals grow upon thin tabular or in tbe hollow columnar form and Increase so little In the directions of their main axes that is. iu the di rection iu which., it la assumed, their main position and negative poles lie.
