ALCOHOL LECTURE HEARDJNURORS Who Are Sitting in an Involuntary Manslaughter Gase Today. The twelve jurors who were accepted from the thirty-one talesmen examined for service in the case of the state against William Casey, charged with the involuntary manslaughter of Ernest Weber, a seventeen year old youth, did class room servise late on Friday afternoon and all day Saturday, learning the effects which alcoholic beverages have upon the human system when taken constantly, and when taken infrequently, and either in large or small quantities. It is charged that in this case William Casey gave young Weber a liquor which contained on analysis approximately three per cent of alcohol, a less percentage than in the ordinary American beer, and acetic acid and Other ingredients none of which were poison or drugs. Weber was given !the concoction while riding with two

companions and Casey and his two partners south of the city before noon on the day of October 2. The lad was soon afterwards in a deep sleep. He did not regain consciousness and about 3:30 o'clock that afternoon was found dead in the Zuttermeistex barn on North Tenth street, near G. Jury Heart Experts. Weber, though only seventeen years old, had been accustomed to drinking alcoholic beverages, It is understood the defense will allege. Therefore it was explained to the jury by experts,

line I tiding Dr. Robert E. Lycns of In

diana university, chemist and pathologist, who made the analysis of the organs of young Weber, and by Coro-

rner R. J. Pierce, who also made an

examination, what the conditions of

rthe organs are when alcohol lias been

rused, and when they are normal. The

experts disputed each other in some

facts. i That Weber. Lecel Hale, aged 16, tend Elzie Ribkee, aged 17, according jto the testimony Ribkee, all had an unusual fondness for an intoxicating drink, which Ribkee understood was Harper whiskey, is attested by his .testimony. He said Casey and Burns (produced quart bottles of the concoction and that as it was passed around Weber, Hale and Ribkee all drank heartily. Each bottle was passed around three times, according to Ribkee. According to some of the questions asked by the defense it may be advanced later In the trial that the concoction was chiefly hard cider, which contains acetic acid. The mixture taken from the stomach of Weber besides the concoction containing a small percentage of alcohol and acetic acid, contained celery and bread and butter eaten that morning, showing that the digestive organs had not properly fulfilled their functions. The Jury was selected after nineteen men had been excused, three by the court, seven by the stats and nine ty the defense. The Jury as finally accepted included: Albert Oler, Lafe Larsh, R. O. CulbertBon, George Frazier, Walter H. Luring, Richard Smelser, Clarence Hoffman. William E. Pickett, Edward Doran, Thos. Martin. George L. ThornIburgh and Wlliam L. Thornburgh.

'EXPECT BIG SEASON Local Post Office Prepares for Deluge.

The fore-runner of the holiday seaSon's rush of mall has Just been detected at the Richmond post office, and the local authorities are making their plans to handle the overflow so as to cause as little delay as possible. Most of the extra matter now passing through is in the form of catalogues from mail order houses, adver

tising toys, cheap Jewelry, and similar aticles. Thanksgiving cards of greeting are also filtering through the office. i'ostmaster Haas says he expects an exceptional holiday business, and his men will be ready to handle any mount that may come. The authorities judge that this season stands a good chance of being a record-breaker, and they anticipate a big rush as the holidays grow nearer. In order to handle the increased business, it is announced that the regular substitutes will be put to work as an extra force to relieve the carriers. If the mall becomes too heavy, wagons will be chartered to deliver a part of the surplus. Superintendent L. A. Handley says that there is no danger of the Richmond office being swamped, for he believes the preparations made are ample to insure an Immediate delivery. People sending packages out of the city are warned, however, to allow an extra day or two for delivery.

REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS

PEOPLE JRE MISLED In Believing Themselves Healthy, Dr. Davis Says.

That local people, in common with the rest of the world, are misled into believing that they are living healthy lives, when their habits are really most unsanitary, in the opinion of Dr. T. H. Davis, head of the local health office. He recommends that Richmond citizens note the following article by Dr. W. A. Evans, in the Chicago "Tribune:" People judge of temperature by the "feel," and that method often misleads. They guess at how much they eat. They think they are dieting, when they are gorging. They sometimes diet by eating two meals a day, and then do barm in two ways: FirBt, because the total quantitiy of food taken in the two meals exceeds the quantity formerly taken In three; second, because an overheavy meal clogs the system worse than the same amount of food in two meals. There are scores of ways in which people cheat themselves. The well to do cheat themselves by thinking that they ventilate well. Their houses are usually worse ventilated than the poor man's house. They have more than their share of colds and pneumonia and nearly their share of consumption in consequence. The soft, flabby woman stirs around the house a little, walks to the automobile or to the car, rides around a while and cheats herself into thinking she is exercising enough to burn up the waste in her body and keep her muscle fibre in tone. A filter is put in the house and neglected until the filtered watr is higher in bacterial count than ordinary water. Yet the family cheats itself into thinking security is had. A water bottling plant puts in a rock filter, scrubs off the outside occasionally and advertises filtered water. A restaurant or hotel puts in fine furnishings in the dining rooms and the customers cheat themselves by inferring that the kitchen is clean pr the food is properly handled. A school board puts in a system of ventilation which throws into a given space 2,000 cubic feet of air per person per hour and cheats itself with the idea that it is giving the students ventilation. A man with a symptom jumps at a half way diagnosis and runs off with a cure. He is cheating himself. A man with pain cheats himself with morphine. A man who cannot sleep cheats himself with bromide. Many of the health movements go at the form rather than the substance. In contagion we watch the place and the thing rather than the man. We sprinkle a little disinfectant around and let the man go downtown on the cars. We cheat ourselves right and left. HIGH AVERAGE MADE BY DIAMOND EDGES With an average of 833 pins per game for the entire evening, the Diamond Edges defeated the Pan Handles two to one last night. The second contest proved the closest played this season when White, of the Pan Handles, registered a score of 192 and nosed out his rivals by three points. The summary: Diamond Edges.

Guynard, a deputy marshal of Maplewood, St. Louis county. Mo. Guynard went to the home of young Merk's aunt to arrest the boy on October 30 on a minor charge when Merk ran from the house and shot the deputy. He escaped through lumber yards and has not been heard of since. Guynard died November 11. The boy is wanted on a murder charge.

SURVEYING OF LIKE HAS BEEH ORDERED Northern Route Will Be Mapped Out First by Traction Experts.

To let the contract for a survey immediately, and to push the work of constructing the proposed Richmond and Eastern Indiana traction line, were the orders which the stockholders of the new company gave to a special committee composed of Charles Jordan and Judge Comstock, at a meeting last evening in the Commercial Club rooms. At the directors' dinner, held in the Y. M. C. A. prior to the general meeting, the officers of the company considered finally the two propositions that had been made by engineering concerns, and determined their choice, which was later approved by the stockholders. The hope now is to have all the outside work in connection with the surveying, completed by the first of next year. As a consequence of last night's meeting, it is probable that the contract for the preliminary work will be awarded to an Indianapolis engineering firm. Several details in the bid submitted by this concern, however, did not meet the approval of the stockholders, and Messrs. Jordan and Cornstock will go to Indianapolis Monday morning to discuss some changes in the proposition. If the engineers accommodate the traction committee, it is thought the contract will be let the first of next week. The survey is to be started as soon as the traction officials and engineers come to an agreement, and the II. & E. I. men expect to have all the outside work completed before the first of January, 1912. The surveying will first be done between this city and Portland, as there are no complications in that direction, while some time will elapse before a start can be made on the southern route. The first matter to be determined by the engineers will be to locate the line positively. Furthermore, they will establish the grade, make complete maps of the route, and describe the right of way. They will be called upon to draw up plans and specifications for all bridges, power houses, and sub-stations, and to inform the officials how many cubic yards of dirt will be involved in making the cuts and fills. The financing of the proposition is not worrying the officers of the new line, as they are positive enough capital will be secured to put the line through. All the stock that has been put on the market has been taken, and the payment of the outstanding stock is wM advanced, eo that , it would not be difficult to secure the remainder of the money due.

RIVAL CANDIDATES TAKE EXAMINATION To Determine Who Will Be Next Postmaster at Williamsburg, Ind.

HO LOCAUMAGIOH Exceptional Health Conditions Prevail Here.

WiR

E NEWS FLASHES

Keen rivalry marked the civil ser

vice examination held this morning at the local post office, to fill a vacancycaused by the resignation of the post-' master at Williamsburg. Four per-! sons. Echo Wooley, William Quigley, J. Creighton Ball, and Simon Wedle, appeared at the Richmond office this morning to take the test, and all spent a strenuous hour trying to secure the highest grade. The whole town of Williamsburg is excited over the ex-

, amination, and most of the residents i have announced their favorites for ; the position. Although the candidates j themselves would not admit that the rivalry had become so intense, they stated that every one of them came here "to get the job," for it carries

with it a salary of about a dollar a day, and is considered the best office in Williamsburg. The candidates were somewhat disappointed in the test for they claimed it was not stiff enough to show their true genius. In the opinion of the contestants, they all got 100 per cent.

It is now believed that the inspection by a civil service examiner, who I is soon to visit Williamsburg with a view of finding out the facilities for ; conducting the business, will be used to determine the successful candidate, and the quartet will devote the next few days to preparations for a good showing when the inspector comes. ) Cooks for the Indian service are the ! latest need of the government, accordS ing to a notice just received by L. A.

Handley, district secretary of the civil service board. Men and women between the ages of 20 and 50 are eligible for the office, the principal requirement for which is a statement of one's training in the culinary art. The test is to be held on the second of December.

The excellent health conditions locally were revealed by an examination of the records at the city health office, showing that there is not a single case of contagious of infectious disease in the city, and but one in the county. The last local contagion was today stricken from the black list, when city health officer Davis removed the quarantine from the Hollopeter family, one member of which. Paul Hollopeter, contracted smallpox in Ohio some time ago. The only existing case of contagion is Harold Rowman, of Economy, who has a very mild case of scarlet fever. According to the opinion of the local health department, conditions at present are the best they have been for several months. The death rate has decreased materially so far in No vember, and a majority of the deaths that have been reported were either especially old people or suicides. Aside from a smal amount of bronchial trouble, there is no sickness in the city now, and many physicians are practically idle. The situation is attributed by the health officers to the weather, which is now such that it kills many harmful bacteria.
