Charles E. Shiveley Makes an Appeal For Earfham College

Charles E. Shiveley, a well known local attorney, today Issued the following appeal to the people of Richmond and Vayne county to assist Karlham in its campaign to lift the debt: To the people of Richmond and Wayne County: There has never been a cause presented to the people of Richmond and Wayne county that was more worthy and Just than the appeal made by Karlham college tor assistance to pay its debt at this time. This apreal em braces the elements of sentiment and business. There clusters and hangs about this old Quaker Institution a sentiment not only of those who have been students therein, but those who j have never been students or ever had children or relutlves there. The old Quaker school as it was in the beginning, with its quiet, pure, clean influences, and as it grew and developed info a college, retaining Its same 'pure, clean, uplifting atmosphere and adding thereto a standing second to none among the small colleges of the country for efficient and substantial work, appeals to every citizen of our city and county as nn institution most worthy to be supported and cared for. The thought of this good old instituttlon being in distress should open the pocketbook of every person and bring forth a contribution in proiortion to the ability of the giver. Rut It is not wholly a gift; it is a payment for something substantial received by the people of this community. We have taken from this grand old institution for years the good training, moral influence and substantial business transactions that when reduced to dollars and cents, has been worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to us; and when we now make contributions from time to time as we arc able to do, we are but paying just obligations received from Karlham college. We pay for our churches, our public schools, our other institutions to promote education and morals, and why should we not pay for Karlham college, which stands in the forefront of nil these institutions in giving to the peoplo of our community substantial benefits. Nothing that Richmond and Wayne county has tver had has contributed more to the standing of the people and the reputation of our city than Earlham college. It is not enough to ac cumulate dollars or have It said that Richmond Is a wealthy city. No one would be satisfied with that reputation alone. Everyone demands that we stand for something more than the accumulation of wealth. No one of us will consent to have taken from our city and community the reputation that has been gained through the influence of our schools and churches. We do not hesitate to support them. Why should we hesitate to support Earlham college? Everybody knows that a college is not a money making institution. Like churches and our public schools, it must be supported by the people. It has no revenues, only small amounts BASEBALL SCANDAL Boston-Chicago Trade Like(National News Asxoclatlon) Boston. June 16. The Post says that the deal between the Roston Nationals and the Chicago Nationals has aroused more criticism and protest than any trade in modern baseball history and bids fair to develop a scandal that will keep President Lynch and his directors busy for some time In an attempt at smothering. Not only has the Roston populace unmistakably that the management of the Hops have made a most unpopular move; not only has vice-president Page state that he will take legal actiont to have the trade set aside, but now the Cincinnati and New York clubs have filed protests to the head of the league. Thfy want the trade made null and void, claiming in effect that it is nothing more or less than an obvious effort to strengthen Chicago, a club which shows signs of going back, at the expense of the Boston team, already a hopeless tail-ender. The positive statement is made that Graham, Curtis, Goode and Collins were offered to every club in the league with the stipulation that a big bunch of money should be paid the Roston club. In addition to the players who shoud come here in exchange. MRS. SIDNEY LOVE TO QUIT CIGARETS (National News Association) Baker City, Ore., June 16. Mrs. Sidney C. Love, whose husband's counter suit for divorce is being heard here, and who was declared by Artist Hums-Jones to be the most beautiful woman in the world, today declared that she would give up cigarets. .The alleged excessive smoking of cigarets by Mrs. Love is one of the principal points made against her in the testimony here. She declared she would quit because of the "comment which had been stirred up." "NO CORONATION FOR MINE" J. J. JEFFRIES (National Nws Association) Paris, June 16. "It isn't because Jack Johnson is in London, but because I hate crowds that I am not going there for the coronation," said James J. Jeffries, the vanquished heavyweight champion. Jeffries and hih party arrived Wednesday. "I may meet Johnson before I return." conUnued Jeff. "I feel no 111 will toward him. ,

contributed by the students, which are wholly Inadequate to keep up the institution. There is no thought of gain in maintaining an institution like Earlham college. Everybody connected with it is doing a large part of his work for the educational, moral and religious Influences, and not for the purpose of his own gain. We can not live alone in this world and enjoy life upon the mere accumulation of money, neither can a community as a whole do this. We must have something in this life besides bread and meat. And as we think of these higher things of life, who can name an institution that has done more for our city and community to make us happier people than old Earlham? If the question was presented to the people of Richmond and Wayne county today of the removal of Earlham college what would be the contributions of the people rather than to see that come about? While we are not subjected to this test, yet at the same time a crucial period is upon Earlham college, and the necessity of liquidating this debt of $50,000 Is of so much Importance, not only for the present but the future of this institution, that it ought not to be necessary to make appeals to the people to contribute to this end. And we should not feel, either,. that unless we can give a large amount, that we will not be expected to give something to this great cause. Let everybody, as he is able, make his contribution; and if it is but a dollar, that sum will be appreciated by those in charge of that institution and the public at large, and the giver will receive in return for such generous act as much as those who are able to give much more. It is not the most bountiful table that extends the greatest hospitality. The mere breaking of bread, in the generous and hospitable way in which it should be done contributes to the guest as great a pleasure as the heaviest laden table. So in giving to an institution of this kind, while it is necessary that large sums of money be contributed by those who are able to do so, yet the small gifts are just as much appreciated, and the giver receives as much In return for his act. The question of what others outside of Wayne county have done should be of little importance to the people of Richmond and Wayne county. We should do our duty toward thi3 institution from a higher and nobler purpose than that of competing with oth-. er people. Our duty to this grand old educational institution is plain and we should look to outside influences to stimulate us in responding to that duty. Earlham college is ours and as a generous, moral and patriotic people, we should not hesitate to support It. The sum of $10,000 asked of us ought to have been raised in a day, and there certainly should be no question about that sum being subscribed cheerfully within the period fixed by the Earlham authorities. Let everybody help and then there is no question about the result. Chas E. Shiveley.

EAST AND THE WEST Hold Conference, on Educational Questions. (National News Association) Washington, une 16. A notable two days' conference was opened in this city today by the Persian-American Educational society, an organization which aims at closer relationship between the east and west and which also plans to broaden its scope so as to embrace a world-wide campaign of education and economic development and peace propaganda. The attendance at the conference includes delegates from New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago and other cities. Probaly the most notable participant is Goodsie Kanoum, the first Persian woman who has ever visited America. William H. Hoar of 'New York, president of the society, called the conference to order this morning and delivered the opening address. Other speakers and their topics were Mirza Sohrab of Ispahan, Persia, on "The Tersian Women," and Benjamin F. Trueblood, secretary of the American Peace Society, on "Peace, the Keynote of the Orient." At the session this afternoon addresses .were delivered as follows: Mrs. Fannie Fern Andrews of Boston, secretary of the American School Peace league, "Education and International Peace;" Hooper H. Harris; of New York. "Is Persia's Future Safe?" Charles Mason Remey of Washington, "The Necessity of Closer Relationship Between the Orient and the Occident;" Roy C. Wilhelm of New York, "How to Modernize Persia," and Prof. H. P. Holler of Washington, "Aims of the Oriental University." " WATERWAY BILL IN ILLINOIS PASSED Springfield. 111., June 16. The Illinois house of representatives, at a session at 2 o'clock this morning, passed the deep waterway bill, for which the special session of the legislature was called. The measure was sent directly to the senate. This is the first real step toward a "lake to the gulf waterway, which has agitated the Middle West for more than three years. NEW OUTFIELDER Turner, a star outfielder for the Indianapolis Reserves, has agreed to play with the Starr piano team. Manager Sullivan will probably have him bat in the clean up position, this being his strong forte.

HOOSIERS HAVE OUTING Chicagoans Play Joyous Trip to State Capital.

Indianapolis, June 16. An opportunity to "get-rich-quick" without danger of losing church membership, will be offered to the members of the Indiana Society of Chicago, on the trip to this city, June 23. A "Great Presentation and Drawing of Prizes," to take place on the Monon special, has been announced by the committee on entertainment of which William B. Austin is chairman. The list of grand prize awards includes a woman's hat, a handbag, a man's hat, books by Indiana authors, automobile coat, boxes of cigars, thea ter tickets, umbrellas, neckties, lunch t baskets, thermos bottles, golf sticks, canes and gloves. Only one prize may go to any one person on the train. As a feature of the contest nobody is permitted to be a contestant for any prize that possibly may be of any materail use to him. Men will be allowed to compete only for articles for women's use, and the women will get the prizes that are suitable for men. The winner, if a man, must present his "ill-gotten gains" to the women of his choice on the train and the women must give away what they win. J. M. Studabaker. of South Bend, will be called on by the Chicagoans to "make good" regarding a statement he made before the society in 1909, after an outing at South Bend. "What the society will do to Studabaker" is described In Its official announcement. Quoting Studabaker's speech, the announcement says: "They came to South Bend. We showed them the dry part of the town and the wet part mostly wet (laughter), and I want to say to you I heard one lady make a remark I do not know her name, and I regretted it very much to the effect that she would not give a darn for the wet, but it spoiled a seventy-five dollar rat. I failed to learn whose man's wife that was, or certainly I should have bought her a new hat.' Mr. Studabaker will be on the train and will be requested by your committee to pick out the lady above referred to, and make good. It is therefore expected that each lady who had her hat damaged by the rain at South Bend will be present on the train." In order that the members of the Indiana Society of Chicago, their families and guests, may be known to their hosts at Indianapolis, each person on the special train will be furnished with a key to the city of Indianapolis. This key is to be worn conspicu ously. The invitation booklet issued by the Come On Home society of Indianapolis which purports to be "admitted by the postmaster" at Indianapolis to be second rate stuff" has come from the press. This artistic offering of good will to the Chicagoans is illustrated with scenes in and around Indianapolis, with cuts of some of the officers of the Chicago society, and of members of the Come On Home society. An invitation is signed by Governor Marshall and Secretary of State Ellingham under the great seal of Indiana, and various invitations to the Chicagoans over the signatures of the executive committee in Indianapolis and of Mayor Shank, Booth Tarkington, Meredith Nicholson, Charles E. Coffin, Charles A. Bookwalter, Richard Lieber, Will H. Brown, W. T. Durbin, L. C. Boyd and Momer McKee. J. L, GRIFFITH SAID Sec. Knox Will Ascertain Just What He Did Say. Washington, June 16.-MIepresenta-tive James A. Hamill, of New Jersey, has introduced a resolution calling on the secretary of state to send to the house full information as to what action he has taken, if any in regard to the expression of approval by the American consul-general at London of a statement made by British foreign secretary In favor af an alliance between the United States and Great Britain for a war on a nation with which this country is at peace, and whose relations with the United States have been most friendly and cordial from the foundation of the republic to the present day. The remarks of the consul-general were made at the dinner of a society whose chief object is the establishment of an Anglo-Saxon alliance and it is said the speech was rendered especially distasteful to some by the reference to the society as "an informal social Anglo-Saxon parliment." John L. Griffiths of Indianapolis is the consul in question. Representative Hamill asserts that Mr. Griffiths In a speech at the banquet of the Pilgrim's society in London on May 24, displayed too much friendliness for Great Britiain. Mr. Hamill says Mr. Griffiths indorsed a speech made bySir Edward Gray, the British secretary of foreign affairs, in which this paragraph relating to the proposed arbitration treaty appeared: "The nation that made such an agreement might be exposed to attack from a third power. This would probably lead to their following with an agreement to join each other in any case where one of them had a quarrel with a third nation which had refused to arbitrate." According to Representative Hamill such a sentiment is an affront to Germany. The state department Is confident Mr. Griffiths did not make any slip, but Secretary Knox has taken steps to ascertain just what he did say. A Sacramento valley irrigation company has shipped a year-old peach tree bearing over one hundred peaches to Chicago. The tree is six feet high and when packed with dirt weighed one thousand pounds.

A CLASSIC YACHT RACE TO BE HELD Motor Boat Club of America Starts Bermuda Contest on Saturday.

5 (National News Association) New York, June 16. With the crack of the pistof, tomorrow, America's classic in yachting circles, the Bermuda race of the Motor Boat Club of America, for the James Gordon Bennett cup and $1,000 in cash will be under way, and the tiny entries, many of which are scarcely over forty feet in length will start on the long voyage to that remote island in the West In dies, which yearly tempts the hardihood and daring of American yachtsmen. To those whose veins do not flow with a good salt sea craving this announcement means but little, but to the thousands of yachting enthusiasts who yearly spend two months in com missioning countless small craft, three in bumping their heads on low hung cabin carlines and the winter in anticipation; this great race holds in interest that is paramount to any other sporting event on the calendar. They watch its start with unalloyed interest, stake their money on their fovorites, and greet the report of passing steamers, that have sighted the small craft, with all absorbing interest. It is safe to say that this great race engages the attention of every lover of sport in America. The institution of this classic motor boat race to the Lilly Isles, with the tup and cash prize that serve for but little save as a goal to adventure, marked the beginning of the evolution of the ocean cruising motor boat that hardy little craft that has reached such perfection on these shores that it may now safely venture out in weather that would try even the stoutest trans-Atlantic ships. Its value to boating circles is inestimable, for not only has it helped to evolve a safe and sane type of pleasure boat but it has served to train, both by the emulation it has engendered and the actual experiences of those engaged, a type of fearless sailor that needs but little further schooling to fit him for the command of the leviathans of the sea. At first the entries in the Bermuda run contained boats of an overall length that hung closely about the thirty foot mark. This size, however, with the passing years and the perfection of the gas engine, rapidly increased until the entries of later years have averaged around the fifty foot mark. What it means to put to sea in a boat of this size cannot be even dimly imagined by those who are accus tomed to the comfort of their own inland firesides, or the comparative comfort of the trans-Atlantic liners and huge coast wise steamships. In a boat say fifty feet long, carrying a crow of six or seven, discomfort and adventure are inevitable even in the calmest weather. With the sea as smooth as glass these tiny entries, far from the sight of land can scarce be distinguished at the distance of a mile, so low do they set in the water. In the fierce tropical storms that sometimes turn the Atlantic seaboard, especially in the lower latitudes, into a veritable maelstrom of seeting waters, whose surface is crested with gigantic waves that play havoc with the largest ships, the boats of those hardy sailors are lost in the flying spume, and the lone navigator that takes his trick at the wheel often finds his lashings sorely tired by the complete submersion of his little craft. Below it is scarcely less uncomfortable. The sickening smell of gaso line pervades an atmosphere redelent with the smell of stale cooking. Even the matresses on the bunks have to be lashed in place, and the wild pitching of the boat throw those within against every sharp corner of the interior. Observations are impossible. The boat is sometimes sailed for days by dead reckoning alone and often the naviga tors are blown hundreds of miles outside their courses before the stormhaa spentitsfury. Ail these hardships in addition to the enormous expense of building and commissioning such boats together with the money that must be expended for the actual race, make this run distinctly and inevitably a rich man's game. The cup and the $1,000 prize that go to the winner scarcely defray his expenses; while the other entries in the race are not only out of pocket but have subjected themselves to a risk of life and limb. Even with these undesirable features to contend with, however, the wealthy enthusiasts, return year after year, with newer and better boats, faster and more reliable engines, and an increased determination to win the Bermuda race. The race this year is open to seaworthy boats not over 100 feet overall, nor under 40 feet overall, and calculations for time handicaps will be made according to the rules of the American Power Boat association. Two of the most likely entries are:, The Sybilla II, owner J. Fred Betz, 3rd of the Philadelphia Yacht club; and the Arval, owner A. W. Teele, of New York. ANGLER CHOKES ON BONE OF ONLY FISH Pittsburg, June 16. "That certainly looks good to me," remarked Philip Rotolof, hungry and tired, as he sat down at his dinner table on the North Side, and viewed an appetizing baked fish, the one trophy of a long angling jaunt from which he and several friends had just returned. A moment after he had swallowed a mouthful of the steaming dish he began to choke, started from his chair and fell to the floor, unconscious. A bone had lodged in his throat, and he died pust as a physician arrived. Rotolof was an enthusiastic fisher man, a member of several outing culbs, and most of the time he could spare away from business was spent with rod or gun.

MILLION DOLLARS DAY BEING SPENT For the Improvement of Highways in Every Section of the Country. -

(Palladium Special) Washington. June 16. One million dollars a day is the record that will be established throughout the United States as the expenditure for improving and maintaining public roads. Never before in the history of the country has there been such interest in the improvement of highways, and with the legislatures of the states appropriating millions of dollars for this purpose, the good roads movement has received its greatest impetus since the foundation of the republic. The money that will be expended on the roads of this country during the next six months will be more than ever before in the same period of time. In 1904, the total expenditure for the construction and maintenance of roads and bridges in the United States amounted to about $80,000,000, but the expenditure for this purpose in 1911 will aggregate about $14,500,000. Exclusive of Sundays and legal holidays, the outlay for roads will amount to $1,000,000 a day during the present road building season. This includes all moneys raised by local taxation, bond issues, state appropriations and private subscriptions. "Every state in the union," said Logan Waller Page, director of the United States office of Public roads, in telling of the results of the great campaign for good roads, "seems at last to be thoroughly aroused to the bene fits derived from investments In im proved highways. In California, the state has Issued $18,000,000 in bonds with which to build a system of state highways. This work will begin during the present season. In the. state of. Conecticut, about $2,250,000 will be expended this year out of the state treasury for trunk line and state aid roads. Of the $5,000,000 bond Issue recently authorized in Maryland, over $1,250,000 will be available this year for trunk line and state aid roads. Massachusetts will expend from state revenues over $1,000,000 for the construction and maintenance of state roads. "It is expected that at least $5,000,000 will be expended on state aid roads and on trunk line systems in the state of New York, in addition to $7,000,000 already raised by local taxation. More money is being devoted to road Improvements in New York than in any other state in the union, and the percentage of improved roads in that state has increased from 7.9 per cent in 1904 to 60 per cent in 1909. "Over $2,000,000 is available in North Carolina from bond issues in the various counties for road improvement Ibis year, and the legislature has authorized the construction of a road from the Atlantic ocean to the Tennessee line, a distance of 423 miles. "In 1910 thirty counties in Ohio voted $2,500,000 in bonds to be expended this year. Ohio will also expend about $500,000 from state revenues for road improvement. In Pennsylvania, the state aid appropriations will probably amount to over $1,000,000 and a $30,000,000 bond Issue is being considered. Various counties in Tennessee will expend $1,500,000 from bond issues. Over $1,500,000 will be expended from bond issues in various ; counties in Texas. In Virginia, $2,500,000 has been authorized by various counties, to be expended this year; while over $250,000 has been appropriated in the state of Wisconsin, in accordance with the state aid system. "The prospect for a complete system of public roads throughout the United States is better now than ever before in the' history of the country, and a uniformity of recent good road laws gives promise that this country will eventually take its place with France in having the most sensible system of road supervision and maintenance."
