The Largest Building in History of the World
iln Many Respects It Was Most Satisfactory One Friends of Indiana Have Held for a Long Time. -A CHURCH SUGGESTED AS A JAY MEMORIAL Proposed to Erect Structure on Earlham Campus to Honor One of the Best Known Friends' Workers.
.0 many ways tb teuton of the Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends, which came to an end with the seaaton of thla morning waa one of the moat satisfactory this body bat ever had, and taken from purely a business standpoint, the expeditious way in which ita work was, disposed of haa perhaps not been equalled by any pre vlous aeaalon. Much of the cloaing business was purely of a routine nature and of no special Interest, but there was one subject mentioned In an Informal way that will be of Interest throughout the entire Quaker church, or wherever the late Allen Jay waa known and that meana Quaker lam throughout the world. Thia proposition Is to build at some point, on the Earlham campus or near the college, a memorial church In honor, of Mr. Jay, and as a testimonial of the great work that he was able to do for the society. It waa Mr. Jay's hope that some time It would be possible to erect a church in West Richmond that would not only serve as ,a. home of . the congregation recently organised there, bat would be of sufleient capacity to accommodate any meetlas ef Friends that might have oceaaioa to uae It, including poaaible future sessions of the Fire Tears MeetIts. It wM.ISr. Jay1 dream that each a' church combined with the ooilege could be made a center for American Friends, There was no action of any kind o the subject, the plans at this time merely being In mind. Epistles Were Read. Epistles were aubmltted from Oregon, Nebraska, California- and Wilmington Yearly Meetings and from the quarterly meeting In Mexico. In Wilmington $15,000 has been promised toward the debt on Wilmington college, the total being $45,000. The Bible school work has been reorganised and progreae has been made In the foreign mlaalon work. In California Tearly Meeting Whlttier college has had a good year with an Increase of 15 per cent In attendance and the largest graduating class In Its history. The contribution for foreign missions was $1.76 per capita, a remarkably good snowing. In Nebraaka the evangelistic and pastoral work especially has prospered, as have the efforts for missions, and support will be given a missionary In Cuba. Nebraska Central college has had a good year. The communication from Mexico was Meonntliit. The committee on Indian affaire reel ported much active work done among the western tribes, there being 4T conversions among the Indians and 44 moag the white people In the same territory. The Held has been extended by opening up work among the Osage Indiana. George N. Hartley, who haa bad many yeara' experience In work among the Indiana, waa chosen a member of the committee to succeed the late Allen Jay. A printed repert of the associated executive committee on Indian affairs. In which practically all the Yearly Meetings are vnlted. showed a great deal accomplished. In conclusion the report ays: . , "In a concluding our meeting wishes to record Us conviction that the work for the uplift of the Indian brought rn?:r tbo united effort of our Yearly Meeting by some of the moat able and valiant Friends of forty one yeara ' eejo, still needs our moat sealoua and discreet maintenance and : support." Waa No Prison Report. Under the head of prison reform no report was submitted this year, but Timothy Nicholson referred to the coming sessions of the national and International bodies and some Informrtlon complied by blm in reference to what tb Friends have done for prlam .tnm will Kit t,V .... v w book and tract committee and probably lasued In some printed form for distribution generally. .

FRAT MEMBERS STATE REPORT IS NOT TRUE School Authorities Are in Possession of All the Facts, but Have Taken No Action in the Matter.
Standing before the members of the various Sunday school classes at the First English Lutheran church, E. M. Haas, postmaster ot thia city, denounced the dance given Thursday night, last week, by a local fraternity, composed principally of boys un der twenty yeara of age, aa somewhat of a drunken revel. Ho said several of the , boya became intoxicated between dancea at saloons, cauaing the young women to weep and to express fears ot Returning home with their alleged "plastered" escorts. As the young men and young women who attended the dance are of the moat prominent families In the city Mr. Haas' atatement caused a sensation and some Indignant parents were busy investigating the affair today. Members of the fraternity denounce the report as absolutely false. No action has .been taken by the school authorities, although they are acquainted with the details of the affair. : Disagree With Haas. Fraternity members declared Monday that Mr. Haas had been misinformed as no one attended the affair, which was the social season opening event for the frat. and a farewell affair to several of the younger aet who will attest colleges out ot the city, who waa intoxicated. . - . - -1 Perhaps the greatest censure which has been made is that the affair was given without a chaperone. A member of . the high school faculty was there only as a guest and the event was entirely In the hands ot the fraternity officials. ' In discussing the affair Mr. - Haas declared parents ot several of the young girls who attended the dance came to him and' stated their daughters had told them of the affair. He said he understood that several of the fair ones compelled their escorts to go home early while others sat around and wept, afraid to dance or say anything: Was Temperance Sunday. He felt the affair should be aired as it concerned the best homes of the city. As Sunday was Temperance Sunday he felt remarks on the alleged condition of affairs at the fraternity dance should be publicly stated by him. Mr. Haas said he bad been informed that several of the young men, some under twenty-one, visited the saloons between dances and afterwards showed the effects of the llauor Imbibed by them. The school officials have possession of all the facts. It is Improbable that any ot the members of the fraternity who are students In the high school will be expelled. At least this was the impression given by Superintendent Mott. Cooler beads in the fraternity while denouncing the assertions of Mr. Haas as untrue perhaps will take the matter up at the next fraternity meeting. ADJUDGED INSANE. Bertha Hicks who escaped from the Home for the Friendlesa on Wednesday is In Ohio and out of the jurisdic tion ot the Wayne county authorities. She has been adjudged insane and she will be placed in Eastern Indiana hos pital if she ever comes .Into Wayne county. ; Pcllcdjoin's Dcily Avenge QrcolaUon For Week Ending Sept. 24, 1910.

A CONTEST IS EXPECTED BOARD TO RECONSIDER RESOLU TION CHANGING HOOSIER DRILL BENEFIT ASSESSMENT FROM $15 TO $50. ' t Mayor Zimmerman made a motion at the meeting of the board of works this morning, that for every vacation of alleys made by. the. board there should be an assessment of $50 on each of the adjoining lot owners.' The motion was the result of the approval of a resolution for the vacation of the first alley north of South C street, be tween Third and Fourth streets. When' the vacation matter was in troduced, the property owners claimed that to have the alley closed would be a great benefit to them as there 'were many undesirable , negroes congregating . there, making themselves a ' nuis ance. The mayor said if it was such a nuisance to: have ..the alley ieach property owners could - we! afford to pay $50 . for the vacation of the alley. To Reconsider Action. - - Recently an alley north from E street near , the Hoosier Drill and Sei del 'Carriage company.' was vacated and, assessment of benefits, placed (at $15. . The mayor made a motion that this" be reconsidered, "and the board ordered Clerk Baits Bescher to -notify the Hoosier, Drill that there, bad been a reconsideration or tne xormer as sessment of benefits and damages and the . former would f be placed 'at $50. The first' benefits 'were made merely to cover the costs' of printing and the procedure. In preparing the benefits for closing the alley between Third and Fourth street,' City' Engineer 'Fred Charles, will make an appralsment of the value of lots adjoining , the alley to de termine the benefits." -The - alley is sixteen feet in width, eight feet to each adjoining lot r ' The -matter of assessing fifty dollars for each vacation will be 'considered by the board and probably adopted. A fight is expected from - property, holders but City Attorney A. If. Gardner believes that the courts will uphold the city, especially , in the North E street alley 'vacation. The board believes that vacation is worth at least $500 to the Hoosier Drill coinpany. w-'.r - . v..
