LSOn TO BE
ELECTED AS CLERK Venerable Friend Will Again Have Honor Bestowed on Him Today.
At the business session of the Indiana yearly meeting of Friends, which was to commence at 2 o'clock this afternoon, the venerable Timothy Nicholson, a prominent resident of this city and a leader In the Friends' church of this country, will be reappointed to hlB office of clerk. The minor offices of recording and reading clerks, etc., will be filled at the same time.. At ten o'clock this morning, occurred the formal opening of the ninety(first session of the . Indiana yearly I meeting in the East Main Street '.Friends' church, attended by a hunidred or more representatives of variious monthly and quarterly meetings, i together with a large number of other Friends Interested In the work, of this gathering. Timothy Nicholson, for several years clerk of the gathering, was in his place as leader of the services. The principal business transacted during the morning session was the appointment of committees for the coming year, the roll call of delegates, and the welcoming of visitors from other meetings. 8tarted With Prayer. The session was started with a prayer and a song by the congregatlon. This was followed by a song and a eries of prayers. A member of the congregation then expressed the hope that the Spirit would lead and stay with those at the session, and make the meeting this year the best one yer held. . r Anna Roberts, the recording clerk, called the roll of representatives from the various meetings, and over a hundred ? delegates responded.' One of the representatives from fhe West Branch meeting raised the point that some of the Friends' organizations were sending either more or leBs than their allotted number of delegates. She also said that, although the rules of the denomination provided that the committee to report the finances of every meeting of more than a thousand members, have at least one woman in its number, it made no such provision for haviii at least one man, and the West ,Branctx delegate asked that some action be taken to make the situation fair for the men. In response, Clerk Timothy Nicholson read the rules relating to the two disputed questions. '..' ' 8ome of Visitors. 1 .The visiting Friends were announced as. follows: Amos Kenworthy, from' "Whittler, Cal; Jacob Baker, Txom Adruin, Mich. ; Nathan and Esther Frame
of Cedar Springs (Miami meeting);
O.; Thomas C. Hodgln, of Piney Woods, N. C; Zona M. Williams, of Westfleld, nd.; Mr. and Mrs. Ellison R, Purdy, of Wilmington, O.; Matilda Cox, of Marshall. Ind.; Isaac N. Toole, of Beloit, O.; and Mr. and Mrs. Francla A. Anscombe, ot Ontario, Canada. .Timothy Nicholson extended the ofv
Iflclal welcome to the visitors, and ex
pressed his pleasure, at noting that there were more Friends from out of town than usual. The clerk then went 'ot to say that the gathering this year jwas more or less of a home-coming, as there were two "living, epistles"
present. With this, he welcomed Levi Mills, who, said the clerk, "declined to come, but came." Mrs. Mary Meyers Harold, who has been for eleven years away from this city, was also welcom
ed back to the meeting. The welcome
was also extended to Esther Baird, a missionary on furlough from India,
mon, and that as soon as the mother realized this, she decided the life of her daughter to the service of Christ. A committee composed of Robert Douglas, Elbert Russell, E. G. Hill, Timothy Nicholson, William Elliott, Fannie Elliott and Fannie Hodges, was named to prepare the minutes for

After several words of greeting and ( as the time for adjournment had al-
expreBBlon of good feeling, Mr. Dann
said that his message to the meeting could be summed up in Paul's Epi3tle to the Ephsians, chapter, 3, verses 14 to 21. Want Young People. Levi Woodard said that as "iron sharpeneth iron, so man sharpeneth man," from which he drew the conclusion that these yearly gatherings, where people come together to give helpful advice, were of Infinite value to all who attend. Charles E. Tebbetts arose to state that the paucity of young people at the session was hardly desirable. He asserted that many of the younger generation had told him that they did not feel that the religious gatherings were intended for them, but were reserved for the older folks. He satd that much of this feeling could be overcome and the young people brought into more active service in the church, if they were occasionally placed on committees, or otherwise given positions of responsibility In the church. Following up this same idea. Mr. Nicholson expressed hia belief that the best way to accomplish this much desired result was to put certain young folks on the committees of the quarterly meetings. The next matter presented was the appointment of committees to serve during the coming year. Chajles E. Tebbetts, with a corps of active assistants, was made chairman of the committee in charge of the preparation of minutes. For the committee on Gospel meetings, which will have supervision over the opening session and all the devotional services in the meeting of 1912, Truman Kenworthy, as chairman and sixteen other members were selected. The clerk proposed that this committee be divided into several subcommittees, each to
assume charge of a certain phase of the work. In the absence of Robert
most come, the reading of the epistles from the London and Dublin yearly
meetings would have to be deferred. Anna Roberts then announced the schedule of committee meetings, and directed the special representatives as to what offices would have to be filled at the session this afternoon. With this, the meeting adjourned. Mary Harold, of Greenfield, Ind., had charge of the devotional services that opened the work today at the Indiana yearly meeting. Jacob Baker acted as her assistant during the session. A large attendance marked the initial service. One of the most helpful of the gatherings that have so far been held at the yearly meeting, was the one last night at the East Main Street Friends' church. This was the first session of the year to be devoted solely to worship, as the time yesterday morning was taken with a'business meeting of the board of ministry and oversight. E. R. Purdy, of Wilmington, O., delivered the principal sermon of the evening. G. Randolph also took a prominent part in the service. Virgil Brcck led the singing during the evening. ITALIAN DIVORCED FROM NEGRO WOMAN Matrimonial amalgamation of the negro and white race received a black eye on Wednesday morning when Judge H. C. Fox granted a divorce to Marco Delucclo,- an Italian, employed at the Pennsylvania roundhouse, from Minnie Delucclo, part colored, who is now alleged to be living in Cleveland, Ohio, with William Burden, colored. In addition to cruel and inhuman treatment, such as refusal to cook his meals, clean up their house on Sherman street, and squandering money

chairman of the committee to reply to the epistles from other yearly meetings. To Go to England. Daisy Barr, who has been presented with a scholarship in the Woodbrook School in England, was called upon to give a few words on her reasons for wishing to attend that institution. She said she intended to sail next April, and spend four or five months on the British Isles, during which time she proposed to attend classes at the school, and alsp visit some important yearly meetings In England. The Muncie monthly meeting, and the Winchester quarterly meeting had already approved her going.'and as the board o$ ministry; and oversight yesterday lib
erated her from her duties' here fori
the time, the meeting unanimously
voted to allow Daisy Barr to go. Fran-il
ds Anscombe, a visitor from Canada, said that until five years ngo, he himself had been a member of the London yearly meeting, and he could assure Miss Barr a welcome at that palace. Miss Barr's sister arose and expressed her thanks for the permission granted, and gave a short summary of her sister'B life, showing how at the early age of fourteen, Daisy Barr had been found by her mother preaching a ser.
plainant alleged his wife was of loose character. She is fair enough to be known as a white woman, and so she represented herself during their courtship, but shortly after their marriage in September 1809, Delucclo said she informed him to his great discomfort that she was part colored and preferred to associate with colored people. ' Deluccio appeared to be a remarkably bright Italian and though he emigrated but a few years ago, his English was considered excellent. He answered questions with the characteristic Italian quickness. In telling of their separation he said .that on May 16, he gave his wife $20 and left the house to return shortly afterwards finding the trunk with her clothes and the better household articles missing, evidently all packed in the trunk. HAS FISHING DEVICE
As a result of his tour of inspection of the public schools in Boston, Abington and Center Townships yesterday. County Health Officer J. E. King reports that although the schools in these townships have several bad features that need remedying, they are as a whole in good enough condition for use by the children. Dr. King's most Important discovery during his trip was the need'of an inspector in each townshin, whose sole business would be to examine the pupils and buildings of the several institutions of instruction. One of the alarming situations which the health guardian encountered was an outbreak of skin diseases in one school. Dr. King said that un
less the afflicted pupils were at once treated by doctors, the disease would probably spread through the whole school, an event that would be attended by serious consequences. At another school, Dr. King went into a wellfilled recitation room,- and found every window In the apartment closed tightly. Such conditions as these are what cause the county official to believe that inspectors are badly needed. If each township would employ a man who had for his entire work the inspection of the conditions affecting the students health, these examiners could make a thorough study of individual cases, and enforce their cure, The county health officer can only
make infrequent trips to each school and even then he can not see that his instructions are put into effect. Many pupils, says Dr. King, are failing jn their studies because of poor health when they do not realize the situation. In dealing with the roller towel and public drinking cup, Dr. King has had a hard time convincing some teachers of the evils of these institutions. At some schools he has found only one large tin cup provided for all the pupils. He has taken the matter up with the instructors all over the county, and has tried to make them see the benefits of individual cups and towels.

vice in its former condition -before the heavy stornt about five weeks ago. At the present the company has thirtyfive men working on the lines. Mr. Bailey does not say-that the lines are in good condition, but admits that since the storm poor service has been given in a good many cases, but he says that, the lines are being put back in good condition and within a short time there will be
very little trouble. "The trouble lies in the fact that it is exceptionally hard to re-establish confidence in the company's service, after bad service has been given," said Mr. Bailey. "Persons call a number and do not give the whom they are calling enough time to answer the phone. They hang up the receiver and call trouble. Another thing, the trouble department is always busy and the operators cannot answer all calls as scon as they are made. "It is to the company's advantage to place the service in the best possible condition," Mr. Bailey continued. "The company loses money and time when lines are out of order and we are sparing nothing to give the public the best service possible. "Since this company has practically secured a monopoly I have worked
much harder than before to give the public good telephone service."
AUTOMOBILE BURNS

Mr. Bailey says that the company is doing everything in its power to place the ser-
