" Earlham college, represented by Elihu E. Jenkens, a senior at the college, last night won the Indiana Intercollegiate Peace contest. Jenken's subject was "International Justice and World Peace." His able delivery, coupled with the deep thought and attention his speech must have demanded, decided In the minds of the three judges that he was entitled to first place. Byron Price of Wabash, was given second place with his subject "The Philosophy of Universal Peace." He was given first place last year in the state oratorical contest. Representatives of the other seven colleges were given places in the following order: Merrill Lester of DePauw; P. A. Barry of Notre Dame; L. E. Carter of Purdue; C. E. Reed of Goshen; T. C.

Officers of the club declare that motorcycle racing is just becoming popular In this city and that the races were desired by a large number of the residents. On Labor Day last year 2,000 persons witnessed the motorcycle races. The club has town down the bleachers and grandstands which It erected last year. DEPOT IS DRAPED TO HONOR THAYER The Pennsylvania union station was draped In black today in memory of the late Col. Edward B. Thayer, second vice president of the P., C, C. & St. L. railroad company, who was among the Ylctims of the Titanic disaster. Black crepe was draped around the pillars in i front of the building and long stlrps of crepe were hung on the north side of the station. Col.

Jesus Gives Peace

By Rev. J. H. Ralston, Secretary Correspondence Course, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago T2XT My peace I give unto you. John 14:27. Jesus never spoke an empty or unneedefl word. He knew the restlessness of men 'in his day, and knew that such restlessness would characterize all days, and in accordance with the promptings of his own loving heart sought to dissipate It. In only one way could this be done- he must displace It by something else. Never in all the history of the race were the appliances for physical wellbeing so numerous and well adapted to the end sought as today. Homemaking, notwithstanding the passing of the single dwelling as home, was never so perfect; sanitation , is far and away superior to any period of the past; medical and surgical skill defy many diseases that were formerly fatal; Institutions -for the care and cure of defections of various kinds are found even In small places; provision Is lavishly made for the education of the young In literature, science, find, art as never before; and millions of money are being poured out, and great conferences are being held In advancement of universal peace but the cry Is yet heard, "O, where can not be found, Rest for the weary soul." We may ask, Why is this, when the things Just enumerated are undented facts? We may have partial answer In the consideration of the things that stand out as an offset to these things, facts us undeniable as they. If we consider the conditions which characterize all activities we are given pause. If we look at men In business life, whether in commerce, finance, manufacturing, or even agriculture, the elements of competition and chance keep the nerves stretched; if we consider the professions, law, medicine, or theology, the rivalry, however , Inexcusable, proves a nerveracking experience; and If we enter the spheres of politics, the game at first pleasant, at last comes to effort to overcome opponents sonetimes by chicanery or even the use of corrupt practices. To such men the modern conveniences and appliances bring little relief. Even that which was possible ten years ago, the getting beyond the reach, of the malls or the telegraph by an ocean voyage, Is no longer possible. And so It Is that men are crying for the lodge in the wilderness, the man of sixty seeks hia chicken farm, in a few years to find disappointment. la the Case Hopeless? Just at this point the Christian religion, by its head, Jesus Christ, ap pears with a solution of this problem. He says: "Peace. I give unto you" and all that man needs, of rest, quiet, contentment, and more, Is offered. Loyalty to what Jesus meant compels us to say that the peace here offered rests on another peace. This peace belongs to experience, the thing men and women are crying for. That peace refers to the right relationship with God, the lack of which 1b the true explanation of the unrest

from which we would escape. That peaqe is a status or condition secured by trusting or resting on Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the only mediator between God and man. We have peace with God through faith, and are placed In a position where we can have the peace of God, that Jesus speaks of in the text In no case can a man have the peace of God without the peace with God, emphasis being on the prepositions. The world gives to the basest part of our being, to the part that relates us to the brute creation, and only In exceptional cases to the intellectual. If so how ephemeral is Its offering for today with no promise of tomordow! Jesus Parallel This Giving. He gives to the highest part of our being, the spirit. His I -itation to men as followers is not to a Mohammedan heaven, or a modern clubhouse, but to physical hardship and suffering but it Is to the spirit, which is- to live forever and whose acquirements are lasting. He gives really, and the man or woman who by any chance seeks the peace because of conscious worth is doomed to disappointment. What he gives satisfies. It is deep, quiet, strong. It took away the fears of the early martyrs, it enabled a McKInley to die calmly and gladly and to sing "Nearer, My God, to Thee," and today enables Chinese and other Christian martyrs to face death without fear. This peace was tested by Jesus himself and sustained him all the way to the cross, and it is the peace of him who was God and who said to the waves on Galilee, "Peace, be still." What a guaranty, "My peace." tested and proven adequate, and that of the infinite God himself! SMOKED MEATS ! SMOKED MEATS! Nice, Small California Hams from 6 lbs. to 10 lbs., at 12ic lb.

"The wilds of New Jersey," said a native, "reward the explorer well. If they who sojourn at Atlantic- City or Long Branch would but penetrate Into the wilds, they would see and hear many Interesting things. "Take, for example, the measurement of distance. I once asked the keeper of the general store, in a New Jersey .village choked with sand, how far It was to Skeeter swamp. "'Skeeter swamp V said the storekeeper. 'Wall, I should say Skeeter swamp wua 'bout two whoops from here or mebbe two whoops and a holler.' "I asked a man in Skeeter swamp how far Flytownwas. The man shifted his quid to the left cheek and replied: "Flytown. stranger, is 'about three chaws to the south unless yer a fast chawei- then I'd say it wuz about three chaws and a half."

A HEW DEPARTMENT t Has Been Added to the Nusbaum & Co. Store.

The new women's and Children's ready-to-wear clothing department of the Lee B. Nusbaum & Company store was opened today on the second floor. It is one of the most complete departments of its kind in the state. The second floor of the building has been beautifully decorated and furnished. As one alights from the elevator, the first thing that greets the eye is a beautiful seat In mahogany, upholstered in leather, to the north of the room and near the elevator. Above is a large plate glass mirror. The rest room promises to be most popular. All the appointments are in perfect harmony. At the windows are curtains of tan net.. In the center of the room is a mahogany library table, the chairs and settees being in harmony with the rest of the furniture. A telephone is to be installed for the use of shoppers who may be in town for a few hours and wish to get into communication with their friends. All the more elaborate garments such as fancy ball dresses and party gowns are displayed near the front of the room. The mirrors are of plate glass and are numerous. All the plans and details for this department were made, according to the ideas of Charles Igelraan, a popular member of the firm. A double plate glass case is one of the main attractions of the department and will be used to display very elegant and elaborate evening gowns. Toward the rear of the store may be found the summer and lingerie frocks. One section has been reserved for children's dresses and wraps. The interior of the rooms has been modeled a'fter a, leading stere on Broadway. A number of ivory pedestals are being made to be used in window decorations, the entire window to be done in ivoryThe lower floor will also be changed quite a little. The departments will be rearranged and many new counters, shelves and cases will be installed. All the light in the different departments will be natural daylight. When the store is completed it will be one of the most keautlful in the city. The date for the formal opening has not been set. FANS TO SEE NEW PLAYERS SUNDAY Sunday, all members of the Richmond baseball team will report and an exhibition game has been arranged with the local Waldorfs, probably the strongest amateur team in the city, at Athletic park. No admission will be charged. Officers of the local K. I. O. league team declare that everything is in readiness for the opening of the season. All players have been signed and will be on hand for the exhibition game tomorrow afternoon. The grounds are in good condition and on Monday, work will be resumed on the diamond to place it in a No. 1 condition. The team will appear in its new uniforms for the first time tomorrow. The schedule for the K. I. O. league will be made public, Monday. Secretary Peck stated today that he is communicating with an independent team for an exhibition game at Athletic park one week from tomorrow. Holes In Everything. It is held by more than one high authority that matter is neither continuous .nor homogeneous. Thomson showed by an experiment that hydrogen can be passed into a vacuum tube through an incandescent platinum window. In a similar way sodium passes through glass, and this is a useful fact . in the manufacture of vacuum tubes, because sodium can be passed Into the tube to absorb the residual oxygen. Bellati. the Italian physicist, has shown that hydrogen can pass through cold iron. Matter may therefore be generally regarded as full of holes. Got His Dose Later.

E SUITS ARE TO BEJSTITUTED Relatives of Those Lost on Titanic Will Ask for Large Sums. National News Association) NEW YORK, April 20. Damage suits involving millions of dollars will be filed against the White Star line by those who lost relatives in the Titanic disaster. Other damage suits will be filed to secure compensation for the personal loss of those who were saved. As a result of the high speed at which the ship was traveling when she struck the berg which plunged her to the bottom and the fact that 6he had been warned of ice floes, and that J. Bruce Ismay, managing director of the International Mercantile Marine, owners of the White Star, was on board, the opinion is held by lawyers that the Harper law which limits recoverable damage to the value of the ship and the passenger and freight receipts for the particular voyage on which the disaster occurred would not apply in this case. Maurice Leon, a wall street lawyer, whose cases have been largely of International character, has been retained in behalf of heirs of some of the French victims and has already begun to study the various legal aspects of the disaster. There Is precedent in a supreme court decision, written by present chief justice White upon the occasion of the Bourgoyne disaster in the following court decree: Every steamer now on the ocean shall be provided with such number of life boats, rafts, life preservers and drags as will best secure the safety of all persons on board." As there is physical evidence of the shortness of life boats on the Titanic Mr. Leon believes that there is good grounds for damage suits. As to the aggregate recoverable amount even It were based upon the provisions of the Harper law, this sum will probably exceed $15,000,000. The total monetary loss from the disaster has been estimated as high as $35,000,000. FAMILY MAROONED ON RIVER ISLAND "Every little river has an Island all its own." This touching little ditty would have been extremely apropos in the case of Jonathan C. Evans and family. South First and H streets, when they awakened one morning this week to find that the two foot bridges leading from their 'Island" in the middle of the Whitewater river to the east bank had been washed away. The cause of this distressing fact. It Is believed, was the throwing of trash and tops of limbs into the river at a point near the Hawkins ponds northeast of the city which debris tore the bridge from its supports.
