IT WASjMPRESSIVE Number of Women Who Attended Beveridge Meeting Show Their Interest. CAVINS FRIEND OF WOMEN (American News Service.! Indianapolis, Sept 29. Alexander G. Cavins, assistant to Attorney General James Bingham, the man who has made a record in the Indiana legislature by his advocacy of women suffrage took a view of the Beveridge keynote meeting which no one -else thought of. ' "r" "' "I was forcibly impressed with the number of women present," said he. "The meeting was unusual for the interest which women took in it and if you want my candid opinion I know of no better sign of progress than for the feminine sex to be concerning itself with politics. If women could vote they would clean things up in a hurry. And if they become interested it will do much toward shaking off the lethargy of the male voters. "The shake up which Chairman John Duncan gave voters for their ignorance of the candidates inspires a suggestion. Now would be a good time to pledge all legislative candidates to the short ballot and the commission form of city government with the privilege of recalling the commissioners. With fewer candidates voters can know whom they are voting for. This means a concentration of responsibility so the people can go directly to the men in charge and hold them to good government:" Edward M. White, assistant to the attorney general, although a standpatter, said the keynote speech was characteristic of Senator Beveridge, and consequently was forceful, earnest and convincing. A MORTGAGE FILED William E. Bayield, proprietor of the Westcott hotel has given a chattel mortgage to Edwin M.

FIREMEN WANT TO Will PRIZE AGAIN Will Decorate City Building to Secure the Fall Festival Premium DISPLAY AT HIPPODROME DECORATIONS AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE GROUNDS DESIGNED BY EVERETT DAVIS HARRY WEBER IN THE CITY. Decorating the city building for the Fall Festival will begin at once, and the officials will try for the first ex terior building decoration prize. Two plans of decoration were submitted, one by the engineering department and .the other by Fire Chief Ed Miller and the'latter was adopted because it will be cheaper and easier to con struct. The engineering department plan, designed by Everett Davis, as sistant engineer, is very elaborate and expensive, and it will be used as the entrance to the hippodrome grounds. There will be a large arch ,in front of the city building and electric lights will be prominent for the night display. Probably one arc light will be used at the top of the arch work. The firemen will do the work, but Mayor Zimmerman told Chief Miller to employ a corps of carpenters if necessary. Last year the city building won first premium on exterior decorations and the mayor says they will have to do so again. However, last year a month's time was required to construct the decorations and no expense or work was spared. The cost this year will be between $50 and $125. Harry Weber, former city engineer, visited the board of works at the meeting this morning. Mr. Weber is now living In Ohio, and is on his way to Texas to investigate some irrigating propositions, in which he may become interested. He Is making the trip to Texas with his wife in an automobile. HELD AS E Public Meetings in Streets Opposed by the Mayor and the Police. THEY OBSTRUCT TRAFFIC All public meetings should be excluded from the streets, except on special occasions. Is the opinion of the mayor and police department Sixth and Main streets seems to be a popular place for many meetings of this kind, both religious and political. They are considered obstructions on the streets. "It is hard to regulate Richmond streets because we are just between a town and a city; at least that is what the people think. We should have ordinances regulating the streets just like larger places." said Superintendent Gormon of the police department today. The mayor would like to take all fruit stands, and other exhibitions from Main street to lessen the sidewalk obstruction. A BANQUET TONIGHT All girls and women who are members of the First English Lutheran Sunday school will be present this evening at the banquet which will be given in their honor by the male members of the Sunday school. The social is the result ot a contest in which the fair sex engaged with the sterner sex as to the Sunday school attendance.

Rather than appear against her sweetheart, .who attempted to shoot her father, pretty 18-year old Florence Paterno ended her life early today by jumping from the roof of a five story tenement at 420 West Thirty-ninth street. She was killed instantly. Pangi Donato, 25 years old, of 529 Tenth avenue, had been calling on her for weeks until the. quarrel which resulted in the shooting. The elder Paterno had developed a sudden dislike to Donato after learning that the young man was a boon fcompanion to some of his (Paterno's) enemies. He saw that his daughter was growing fond of the young man and when she told him that they had plighted their troth he flew into a rage and ordered Donato from the house. Paterno could not be moved. He told his wife he was inclined to give in to his daughter's pleading, but when the mother hurried from her bedroom to break the good news to the girl she was already on the roof preparing to jump. Policeman Barry started for the Paterno home and was almost at the doorsteps in front ot the house when he heard a cry overhead. He looked up in time to see a body hurl through the air and drop almost at his feet When he turned the body over he saw it was the young girl he had intended to bring to court.

Earlham college, with the largest registration in its history, was formally opened this morning when reclta tions began In all departments and the first chapel exercises held. The . Rev. Arthur Dann, of London Yearly Meeting of Friends and the best observer to appear on the college platform, gave the opening address on "Character Building." The number of students registered has not been ascertained by the au- ' thorities, but it is known the number is in excess of last year. The' freshman class is the largest In the history of Earlham and the faculty believes the best spirited to enter the institution in several years. The dormitories this year will not be able to accommodate all the students who wish admission. Buady halt, the boys' dormitory, and Earlt.m hall, the girls' dormitory, are both filled with students and those not applying in advance for rooms were forced to seek a private residence. Heretofore the authorities have been able to seat all those who wished to take their , meals at the college but this year students have been turned away. . 1 Talk on Character. The Rev. Mr. Dann in si "very Impressive manner urged the students at i the first Chanel exercises his morn. - I ing to build their character'' on a Christian foundation. He showed the necessity of a right start; and of building character according to plan. In speaking ot the building ot Christian character he said that near his home in England there were three kinds of sand white, golden and red. Some characters he said were built on the white sand of outward morality, disregarding the church; others were built on the golden sand of church profession and belief. "Then there are those," be said; "who think they can purchase heaven 'by munificent gifts to the church and charity." He said the only sure foundation was Christian."-.. : y cHis address was illustrated fully by . observations. He told of an incident which occurred to the late Lord Shaftsbury, which illustrates bis address on character. The late English staesman was walking down the streets of London when he noticed a little girl carefully watching every passerby. When he came to her she asked him to lead her across the busy thoroughfare. When they were across the street he asked the girl why she asked him and. not one of the other men passing by her, and she said it was because she saw she could trust him. "It was not due to his peerage that Lord Shaftsbury was a gentle-, man," said the speaker. "It was not because he had been presented to the court of Queen Victoria, but to his Christian character." The opening reception of the term will be held Saturday evening fa the library. Tomorrow evening Aurele Borrias, the new Instructor in voice at Earlham will give a recital ia Undley hall and the authorities have extended . a general Invitation to the public.
