Church now In Rome and the ceremonies that will elevate them to the dignity of Cardinal, on Monday. The entire city is decorated In honor of the occasion and from the homage being paid the visiting prelates, one would never imagine the Vatican and the government, are figuratively, at war. The city is overrun with visitors from all over the continent and hundreds of American tourists are on hand to witness the bestowal of the red hat on the three American Cardinals, Falconio, Farley and O'Connell. Not in centuries has a consistory attracted so much outside interest as the present one, owing to the large number of cardinals to be created, and the ceremonies, which will continue until Nov. 30, promise to be the most imposing in the history of the church. Americans Rejoicing. The rejoicing of the Americans over the appointment of three new American Cardinals is echoed here by the thousands of Italians who journeyed t their native country when the first hint of war with Turkey spread over the United States. In fact de vout Italians generally are showing more Interest in the American prel ates than in those of their own blood This is due to the fact that they view the - recognition of the American churchmen as a sure sign of the spread of Catholicism in the United States. 1 Two distinct ceremonies will be per formed, when the new Princes of the church receive their insignia of of fice. The first will be at the consistory to be held on Monday, when the Cardinals are to be formally created and receive the red hat from the hands of the Pope. At this ceremony the Pope will ask the opinion of the Sa cred College concerning the newly named and will then- solemnly pro claim them Cardinals in the name of the Holy Catholic church. The actual words used in this rite are: "By the authority of the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, and of our own, we create you Cardinals of the Holy Roman Catholic Church." Then Gives Red Hat The Pope will then place the red hat upon the newly appointed and (say: "Receive for the glory of Almighty God and the adornment of the Holy Apostolic See this red hat. the sign of ' the unequaled dignity of the Cardinal'ate, by which is declared that even to 1 death by the shedding of thy blood, thou shouldst show thyself intrepid (Continued on Page Eight) XMAS SHOPPERS Xmas la only twenty-nine days away.

Mrs. Patterson in Nervous Collapse After Acting Crime Details. (National News Association) DENVER, Nov. 25. Mrs. Mary K. Patterson, mother of Charles A. Patterson, confronted her son's slayer in the criminal court today. Before the case is neded, Patterson's mother will take the witness chair and denounce as lies the story of the defendant wherein she claims she was the sole support of her husband. Stunned by the terrible onBlought of the prosecutor, Mrs. Patterson was taken from the witness chair in the middle of the afternoon, unable to answer coherently the questions of her attorneys, who took her for redirect examination. With terrible directness, the pros ecutor tore into the direct testimony of the defense by instituting a court room scene, giving a series of pictures that depicted the tragedy, performed by living beings. "Show me how the shooting occured," said the prosecutor. "Assume the position in which you say you were, when you shot your husband." Mrs. Patterson obeyed taking a position so that the jurors could see. "Now tell me how to stand, so that I will be in the position your -husband was when you shot him," said the prosecutor. Obeying the directions of Mrs. Patterson, 'the prosecutor stood over her, his right hand upraised to strike a blow. He was facing her. "Now then you shot," he called. "I did," Mrs. Patterson answered from her position on her knees. "Tell me then," said the prosecutor, "how came the bullet holes in his back and how do you account for the powder burns on the back of your husband," he shouted, holding before the woman the garment worn by Pat terson, when he was slain. Witness Breaks Down. "I don't know," she faltered, and was on the verge of breaking down. At several periods of the grilling of the cross examiner Mrs. Patterson broke down today. She was lead up to the time of the actual killing gradually, giving her answers in the monotone she has adopted. Over and over she was asked to tell the minutest details of the shooting itself. She was awkward, embarassed, angry and confused in turn, at one time saying, "You are so confusing, Mr. Benson." At noon Mrs. Patterson was in bad and when she resumed the stand in the afternoon there were circles under her eyes. Her face was pale and she seemed on the verge of collapse. The testimony followed the lines of yesterday. The state continued to show by letter after letter from the correspondence between Patterson, and his wife, that during the time she said he was beating her, actually was. one of the most affectionate nature. When a recess was taken, Mrs. Patterson fairly tottered from the witness chair. Questions asked her by ' her own attorneys later were received in dum silence or answered in a high pitched voice. She seemed to hardly comprehend what was transpiring and she aws excused for the time being. $5,200 ADVANCED TO STATE TREASURER To the extent of $5,200, Wayne

POSTPONEMENT OF -tfrf OLLETTE'S visit Senator Can Not Commence Tour Until in December or January. According to word received here, United States Senator Robert La Follette of Wisconsin, will be unable to address voters of Wayne county and community In this city before the latter part of December or the early part of January. This change in arrangements was made necessary because of business affairs of a public character demanding that the senator spend some time in Wisconsin. Also between now and the time when he begins his campaign, the senator will devote much time to the preparation of speeches which he will deliver on his middle western tour. Word will bereceived by local followers later which will give more definite information relative to his tour of the middle western states. It is assured that Richmond will be one of the first cities to hear the senator. MACHINE DEMANDS R, C, WHITE'S SCALP Ex-congressman Comer Asks Taft to Oust Muncie Postmaster. (N'atioual News Association) MUNCIE, Nov. 25. Ex-congressman George W. Comer, who. is work ing in conjunction with ex-Senator Hemenway and the Fairbanks-Hemen-way-Kealing machine to have postmaster R. C. White put out of the Muncie office and B. Pi Crawford or some other machine man appointed, has written to President Taft, demanding that the change be made at once in the interest of party harmony. Mr. Comer has no official status which gives him authority to dictate the patronage of the eighth district, except by force of habit, acquired as a congressman. President Taft has maintained for several months that Indiana patronage matters, ought to wait upon the reorganization of the Republican state committee, when the new chairman to be chosen in Jann-Hemenway-Kealing machine wants action at once. They say that the appointment of a machine man at Muncie will help the organization to regain its supremacy. THE WEATHER STATE Fair Sunday; slightly war mer in North and East sections.

Centennial of Founding of New Garden Meeting Will Attract Hundreds to the Church, Sunday.

OLDEST MEMBER TO MAKE AN ADDRESS Interesting History of the Meeting Written by Luke Woodward, to Be an In teresting Feature. (Palladium Special) FOUNTAIN CITY, Ind., Nov. 25.Tomorrow will be a day of reminiscences for the elder members of the New Garden Friends church just south of this town, when the centen nial celebration of the founding of i the meeting will be observed. The church was founded in November, 1811 and is one of the oldest churches in the state. Descendants of pioneers who settled in this part of the state, which was then a territory and which was considered the western edge of civilization, will attend the centennial celebration. Most of them cannot remember of attending meetings in the first church, which was built of logs on the site of the present building, but many well recollect the meetings held in the second church. The present brick meeting bouse is the third. A few members of the church are eighty years or older and there are quite a few of these members who will be present tomorrow morning when the program of the celebration will begin. This fact gives evidence of the sturdy stock from which they sprung. The program for tomorrow's celebration is as follows: Opening prayer. Introductory remarks by Isaac Thomas, the oldest living member of the church. Reading of itema concerning the establishment of the New Garden meet ing by Mrs. L. Ella HarUey, The early history of the meeting prepared by tAfre-Woodard, to be xead Dy Mrs. Alice w. Hunty Early Customs and Manners of Friends, by Timothy Nicholson. Short remarks by Alpheus Trueblood, Sarah E. Woodard, L. J. Woodard, Amasa Jenkins, Dr. O. N. Huff and others. Letters from absent members will be read, among which are two from Wrill Hill, of Minneapolis, and Col. James Hadley, of California. Poems will be read which were written by Luke Woodard and Ella Woodard. The committee in charge of the affair is composed of Isaac and Clarkson Thomas, Mrs. Maryetta Townsend, Mrs. M. L. Thomas, Samuel Barnes, and Miss Fannie Elliott. Miss Elliott will preside at the meeting tomorrow morning and afternoon. Th program will be opened at the usual meeting hour and will be continued in the afternoon. Dinner will be served in the school house. The following paper, written by Luke Woodard, will be read tomorrow by Mrs. Alice W. Hunt: History of Meeting. As I cannot be present at the centennial of. the establishment of the New Garden meeting I contribute a small sketch. You will pardon me if it should be in some measure a repetition of what others may furnish as I have no program by which I can decide on what is expected. As I am not yet quite 100 years old the items that antedate my birth and as I have no books or reference this must be such as I recollect hearing from others. As to the names of early settlers and the exact date of settlement I venture no complete list; or who were the members who comprise the meeting when it was set up in 1811. Some of the mosfc prominent I can name: Obediah Harris, Sr., and Obediah Harris, Jr., I both ministers; the former living in a small house on the southeast part of our home farm a few rods north of the residence of the late Billy Marine. The younger Harris lived on the place now owned by Calvin Fulghum. Another one of the most conspicuous of these first families was that of my uncle and aunt, Francis and Lydia Thomas who settled on the piece of land now owned by their son Clarkson. He gave the ground for meeting purposes where the present meeting is located. If I remember correctly what I have been told the first meetings before the meeting was regularly establish ed by West Branch meeting were held in the elder Obediah Harris' cabin. Indiana was then a territory and this new settlement was the western edge of civilization, as far at least as Engli&n speaklBg people were con cerned. From that point westward was a densely wooded wilderness in habited by Indians and wild animals. These pioneers had no small task in clearing their land and underwent many hardships and privations. Of them it may be said "Other men labored and we are entered into their labors.' The war of 1812 added to the perils and anxiety of these early settlers. To protect themselves from In-

III NEEDJF FOOD A Glimpse of How "the Other Half" Lives Reveals the Fact that the Wolf Howls at Many a Door.

EXTORTIONATE RENT ALLEGED BY NUMBER Heads of Many Worthy Fam ilies Are Out of Work and Children Are 111 Salva tion Army's Work. Captain H. H. Deuter of the local branch of the Salvation army says that there are fifty or sixty worthy famijies in this city who are forced to ask for charity, while there are quite a number of families who are shiftless and do not deserve help. This latter class is helped but little only in case of extreme poverty, sickness or death. Provisions are purchased by the Army each week and distributed among the needy poor. More than one woman informed a Palladium reporter Saturday that if it was not for the Salvation Army, and other benevolent and charitable organizations and the few individuals who are engaged in personal philanthropical work, members of her family would go for days and days at a time without anything to eat. Landlords hold up the poor people in the matter of rent, they say. One family on North Fourth street pays $7 a month for a dingy, dirty, two-room shed. Others on Bridge avenue and in the north end are forced to pay more for the houses than they are worth. They declare- that they move into the houses in order to curtail living expenses, but still they are obliged to pay more rent than tbey should. Woman III, Man Idle. Living in a house which faces an alley, one half square from North A street, between Main and A and between Third and Ft. Wayne avenue. are two persons who fight day by. day. for a Uvin. The woman is con(mmptare -and is -fereed te remain" In doors all the time for when she steps outside she says she becomes choked and finds it difficult to breathe. Her husband is sick and is out of work, and sayB the only work he can find to do now is to help other people do washings and odd jobs. Next door is a family with five children two just getting over typhoid fever. There is no carpet on the floor. The woman says they have barely enough to eat and that it is the plainest food to be obtained. On North Fourth street there is a family with six children, the oldest being nine years, and the youngest six months. At this house the children have been sick. As the father has been unable to pay rent for the past sixty days the landlord has ordered him to move. A family which includes seven children resides at 229 North Fourth street. The father works every day. There are no luxuries on the table at this house, as it requires all the man can earn to procure the barest neces sities of life. One of the boys is blind and an attempt is being made to have an operation performed on him. He Cannot Find Work. "My husband is out of work, as the shop has shut down, and there has been no money in the house since several days ago, when I did a washing and got $1 for it, but that did not buy much," said a woman on Bridge avenue. "He tries to get work while the shop is not running but be can't do it." An old man living by himself, for the present, was found in a house on Bridge avenue. The room was littered with old furniture .ashes, garbage and other refuse. He was frying some meat on the stove. He said it was the first food he had had since early morning. An aged negro and his wife live at 75 Bridge avenue. The captain of the Salvation Army was greeted enthusi astically by the two as both were glad to see him. The aged negro and negress are ex-slaves. There are' but two rooms in their house and the wife earns what she can ' by talcing washings. "My husband is in jail and will not be out for fifty-two days," said a woman, living on Sherman street. She said be had been fined for attempting to kill her. She had little to eat and was In a serious condition. She -was being cared for by her mother who is 80 years of age. ...... Weli-To-Oo Liberal. Cases on North Fourteenth and other streets in Riverdale are just as bad as those in Happy Hollow and on North Fourth street. There are few cases of extreme poverty In the south west or east ends. . Captain Dealer says that the Richmond people responded liberally to bis appeal which he sent out to them some time ago and that a large amount of money, clothing and merchandise hare been received. Arrangements are being made for Thanksgiving and Christmas, when the Salvation Army will help the poor families. It will be the army's aim to
