Committee of City Fathers Reports on Opening Playgrounds Earlier and It Is

Adopted After Discussion. SCHOOL OFFICIALS MAY TRY THE SUGGESTIONS Mott and Nusbaum Defend Positions in This and in Regard to Construction of the High School Building. "If we should open the - school ... . . grounds ei seven o ciwvk mu vu parenU should start the pupils out to school at that time, the good little boys would go straight to school, but . where would the little boys go that are Inclined to be slightly well, like you and I were when boys." slid Lee B. Nusbaum, treasurer of the school board, at council meeting on Monday evening, nodding his head toward Mayor Zimmerman. - -"The present school board rule says that the play grounds shall be opened a half hour . before the . beginning of school In the - morning. That - time gives the pupils time to get to school but little time to go any where else. The state. law and a. decision . of supreme court holds that the school and home are Jolnly responsible for the actions , of school pupils during the time specified for the grounds to be opened.' "It almost staggers me," said Treasurer Nusbaum, 'that we should be responsible for , the actions of 3,500 children from seven until eight o'clock. ny responsibility the law means that the school or .home has the privilege to punish the child.",' Mr. Nusbaum 's statement was the outgrowth of the' report of the council school committee of which Oscar Williams,- H.- H. Eagelbert and Will Cartel, all . members recommendlat " 4Km tV lOnnl IW'l be oaened nromntlv at Mlu o'clock tn the mornlag -aad that a. pervlsor be appointed ,to look after the children. This recomendatlon - -"was advised to the school board, however, oely tr It found that such action was practical and thatilf it would pay financially to hire a competent Instruct tor for the play grounds. It was suggested 'that one of ; the 1 teachers be given an hour's 'extra salary. to take charge of . the play : grounds. The - report of the committee was adopted and the resolutions adopted. Have Interest In Pupils. ' Continuing In his address ' to ' the council, Mr. Nusbaum said: .We have nothing but the best Interests of the school In sight, when wo make rules to govern the schools. Wo shall be glad at any time to have suggestions from, councilman and these will alwaya be considered. The law says that we can ask advice from the council but. in the end-we have to decide the question. I have .no objection to the resolutions. They. will bo taken up by the school board and might be given a. trial This would fTWhat the council and school board wants Is cooperation," declared -Treasurer Nusbaum. "We should stand together and many matters should" be made plainer to both bodies. Superintendent Mott explained to the councllmen and city officials, why. financially. It would not be practical for the school board to hire an Instructor for. the play grounds In the morning. Mr. Mott said: -v ; "School grounda are my especial hobby. I have, been criticised for this and especially for recommending , the pure base of the grounds on TwentySecond street. Besides this we have seven good , play grounds In the city and one small one. We try to make than beautiful and for this we ve been censured. The question Is, how much should the grounds be used?, Should they be opened on Saturday and Sunday and before .and after .schools. However. oaly 'one dty surpasses Richmond In Its use of grounds In this state, this being Gary. Twill there be enough children take advantage of the rule of opening the grounds at seven o'clock to pay the board to hire an extra teacher- We couldn't supervise the grounds for two or tlree -pupils, but for 20 or, 30 it would be a good thing. It Is the lack of faada that has caused the present rule but It there Is a demand for early opening of grounda It will be done. Mayor Zimmerman Talks. "Ton have missed the point entirety," declared ISayor Zimmerman, after Cvperiatendent -Mott had . concluded his address.. The point Is that the children are afraid to go to school before Usee tor fear of betas called up aad punished. . Two city ofldals and the police aupertntendent have aeen boys aad , girts peeping around the comers near the school bouse. They shouM be allowed to come into the yard if they do get there a little early. Wo mean the little fellow. It's dangerous for them to stay oa the streets.

CHAIRMAN WILEY IS CERTAIN OF SUCCESS

And Chairman Beck of the Democratic Committee Still Hopes to Win Out by a Small Majority. With the liquor question eliminated Senator Beveridge. through the election of the Republican county legislative ticket, would come Into Richmond from the outside precincts tonight with a tremendous vote, which' combined with the majority he would receive in Richmond would make his victory in Wayne county almost a landslide. As it is Senator Beveridge Is assured of a splendid majority a flattering vote of confidence and commendation on the part of the Wayne county voters. ' There is a heavy vote being registered all over the county according to reports received by the Palladium up to noon. The . weather was ideal for an election, permitting voters in the rural districts to go to their polls. At noon today there was heavy voting In Richmond and late this afternoon when the factories and business houses close there . will be another busy period for the election officials. Both Republican and Democratic leaders predict a vote nearly equal the vote at tlie presidential election two years ago. . . Not Much Scratching. Notwithstanding the predictions that were made for some time that there would be . much scratching of tickets on the patti of 406 voters, this was not especially Otlceable here today. Vot-era-ealerlithelr hoftths ; did, ;nqt: re-n mala -within very long. in. most cases. This Is taken is a good indication for Republican success. - There was absolutely no trouble at any of the local polls this forenoon," The Republican county committee "had a number of volunteer conveyanc es to take the voters to the polls and they were -kept busy throughout the day. The - Democratic organization was also well supplied with rigs and automobiles. Election returns will be received at many places In the city this evening and. it Is- anticipated there will be Immense crowds on the streets. Many people from the country districts and small towns will come to Richmond tonight to hear, the election news. The Palladium has arranged to throw its election reports, local and general on a screen opposite the Palladium office, and will issue extras from time to time. . . " . j Chairman Wiley of, the Republican county central . committee today - repeated his prediction that Wayne county would go Republican by a majority from' 1,500 to 2.000. Chairman Beck of the Democratic organization Is still hopeful of success and repeated - his prediction that the Democratic; legislative ticket would win out by a small majority, that Gray would defeat Barnard by 200 or 300 majority and that part of the county ticket would be elected.

.'Party Leaders Were Encour

aged, Predicting a Heavy , Vote, Which Is Regarded as a Good Token. . SCRATCHING OF TICKET WAS NOT MANIFESTED Judging from Betting, Senti ment Was Evenly Divided as to Success of Beveridgs or Kern A Few Riots. (American News ervtcs.) : Indianapolis, Nov. 8. Crisp, sun shiny weather which became wanner as the day advanced, greeted . torenoon voters . throughout Indiana, In Indianapolis an unusually heavy vot a ; was reported from nearly ' all precincts. Two votes to the minute were registered at many booths and predictions were freely made by both party leaders that three-fourths of the vote bad been cast by noon. , Not withstand-' ing that the conspicuous feature of the republican campaign was "Beveridge versus The. Invisible Government or Special Interests." In whick te Independent voters of all parties were' strongly appealed to, the amount of scratching of tickets as. indicated by the time consumed in the booths, did' not -come, up to predictions.. " A big majority of ballots cast were sent through straight. . The , ultimata advantage of this custom Is' problematical, but ; the democratic leaders'. were loud in exclaiming that what 'scratch--ing was -- being done added .".to - their hopes of success. ' The- latest .betting on the Joint 'legislature's majority - was - at even money;' whereas odds of Ave' to four "had prevailed several days prior to the close of the campaign. Reports from' Indiana, outside of Indianapolis tell of great interest In the election and much scratching, the lat ter especially, true in the norther counties. ; Seven - votlnj "machines were .out of commission at' Muacie 6m emeiai horwC t. il an wtZ3 to defective mechanlam.

New Castle, Ind., Nov. 8.- Attorneys for fifty Italians today reflled petitions asking the '..court to mandate County Clerk Burgess to furnish the aliens - with ' proper naturalisation blanks. A demurrer was filed by Burgess setting up the fact that the . circuit court had no Jurisdiction In the matter. The demurrer was overruled and an answer In general was filed at noon. Judge Jackson indicated that he will push the proceedings as rapidly as possible, but the - Democrats who are putting up the costs la the case anticipate defeat through delay. '. The case was set for hearing; on November 25th at 12:30 o'clock. Twelve hundred votes have been potted fa New Castle. It is rumored here that an election riot occurred at Knlffctstowa where many Italians live." The report is not confirmed. POLITICIANS AT SEA Chicago, Nov. 8. Uncertainty as to the outcome of the elections throughout the west today marked the opening of the polls In most of the states and politicians : confessed that ' they were totally at sea for a means of forecasting the result. The better element of voters and the silent class were at the polls early and whether this presaged a Democratic or a Republican . victory was hasy, bat the leaders asserted that It meant ?: the election of. clean men in any event. ' A steady rain of ballots started at 8 o'clock and the vote was polled quietly. Republican leaders here for the first time expressed doubt, while the Democrats predicted a landslide. : ' Balloting is being " done ' seriously which gives evidence of the national scope of even the state elections, which In nearly every instance have for their main issue the tariff and the curbing of corruption in state legislative bodies.
