WIFE AND HUSBAND EACH SUE RAILWAY Former for Injuries, Latter for Expense Her Injuries Put Him To.

Two damage suits were filed in the Wayne circuit court this morning, each plaintiff demanding $3,000 from the Lake Erie and Western Railroad company. The plaintiff in one case in Carlene Mohler, who alleges that she sustained injuries, due to the negligence of the defendant company, and the plaintiff in the other suit is Mervin Mohler, the former's husband, who alleges that he has been forced to pay out a large sum of money for medical treatment for his wife and that he will be obliged to pay a larger sum for work about his home, which his wife is now unable ta perform. The plaintiff in the first suit alleges that she, with her husband and child, were driving north on Jones street, one of the principal streets in Cambridge City, on December 2 1910; that because of the high embankment on either side of Jones street, constructed by the Pennsylvania Railroad company for its elevated tracks, they were unable to notice the approach of trains on the L. E. & W. tracks, which are on the north side of the embankment; that the watchman at the crossing failed to signal to them of the approach of the train; and that the engineer neglected to blow the whistle or ring the bell on his engine; with the result that their vehicle was struck by a train throwing the plaintiff to the ground. . Among the injuries which she alleges she received were, three ribs broken, collar bone broken, spine bruised, right eye injured, the eyesight being permanently impaired, and right arm bruised. The husband, in his suit for damages, claims that while he sustained no injuries himself, that he has spent a large amount of money for medical care and treatment for his wife. LIBRARIANS HOLD ' DISTRICTMEETING Important Subjects Considered at the Session Held Here Today. An interesting meeting of District F. of the State Library Association was held today in the Morrison-Reeves library, about twenty-five being in attendance including librarians and members of library boards. h.'

Children's departments',, and children's work was the leading topic for the morning session, many interesting developments being reported relative to this special form of library activity, it; being only within the past few years ' that children were given particular attention through the establish ment of separate rooms ; in library buildings, or special assistants to look after, literature for; - their peculiar needs and requirements. ; . The children's room in this city, in charge of-Miss Harriet Foulke, has acquired a reputation throughout the state for its scope and careful and efficient management and both Mrs. Bernhardt and Miss Foulke answered many questions concerning its administration. One of the most interesting discussions was that which concerned the open shelf system, arguments both for and against the system being set forth -with reasons supporting the different positions. The general consensus of opinion, however, was that its advantages so far out-balanced its abuses that its adoption was desirable. It was stated by one librarian that curiously enough the largest percentage of books lost through this system were those classed as religious. .The social phases of the meeting were among its pleasantest, a buffet luncheon being served at noon in the lecture room of the library from tables decorated with spring flowers, Mrs. Bernhardt giving a program of playerpiano numbers at this time.

Brumfield versus Philip Franzman, an action for money alleged due the plaintiff for his assistance in selling a mill property at Milton, returned a verdict shortly after 9 o'clock last evening in favor of the plaintiff, allowing him $133. Brumfield asked for $2,500.

J PURDUE VS, EARLHAM Track Meet Held Here Saturday Afternoon. For the first time in the annals of Earlham athletics Purdue will appear on the local field in a track and field meet. This event will take place Saturday afternoon on Reid Field and promises to be as hard a clash as the Indiana meet two weeks ago. While the comparative strength of the two teams cannot be determined with any degree of certainty the locals are confident of giving the "boilermakers" all that is coming to them. Capt. Brown in the dashes and Kelsey in the weight events will compete for the last time under the Quaker colors and each is determined to be at his best. The Quakers are expected to take the dashes while the jumps are conceded to the state team. The hurdles are disputed but the odds ate about even. The weights will probably break even. Stockton of the state team has been throwing the discus over the record of Stanley of Earlham, but the other field events are disputed. Brubaker, the star short-stop of the Quakers, surprised all in the college community last week in taking the broad jump in the Indiana meet, going over twenty-one feet. He will" probably land a first for the Quakers in that event. Purdue has had only one meet this year and suffered a severe defeat from Iillinois university. She, as a rule, puts out a team of the I. U. type which Earlham held to a tie score two weeks ago. ACCIDENT VICTIMS ARE BETTER TODAY City officials are awaiting word from the Robinson Fire Apparatus Manufacturing company, before they attempt to dispose of the new fire truck, badly smashed in Saturday's accident. V. M. Robinson left yesterday for St. Louis to confer with the company officials as to whether the company would rebuild the machine without cost to the city. Robinson doubts the company's willingness to do this. John Forbes, of Ft. Wayne avenue, one of the accident victims, is better today. Fire Chief Miller is improved, but unable to attend to his duties. Fireman John Brusher was able to be about attending to his duties today. The city has stopped payment on the $5,500 check by wiring New York not to cash it, pending an arrangement for the rebuilding of the fire fighter. A telegram is expected late today or tomorrow, giving the terms under which the Robinson company wilj repair the damaged machine. AT ENCAMPMENT A number of Cival war veterans of this city, members of the Sol Meredith Post G. A. R., are attending the annual state encampmentwhlch is being held at South Bend.

HAAS WILL ATTEND p, m:s convention

State Meeting of Presidential Appointees Held at Indianapolis. s E. M. Haas, postmaster of this city, will attend the annual state convention of the Indiana association of Presidential Postmasters to be held at the Claypool hotel at Indianapolis June 27 and 28. The program for the convention will 'include a dicussion of the bill pending In congress regulating the hours of service of postal clerks, and also a discussion of the present system prevailing In the rural service regarding control over carriers. The committee in charge of the state meeting has issued invitations to Postmaster General Hitchcock and First Assistant Postmaster General Grandfield to attnd the convention. Considerable comment among postmasters has been caused iy the new eight hour bill governing postal clerks, as it provides that a clerk shall perform his eight hours' work within a continuous period of ten hours. This would prohibit the sytem of "splitting" the hours of service into parts, separated often by Beveral hours, as Is done at present. If the bill is passed it would require a number of additional clerks in post offices In the state. The question of placing the rural carrier under the Jurisdiction of the postmaster has been discussed and this matter will be one of the principal topics for consideration at the convention. Under the present system the rural carrier Is responsible directly to the fourth assistant postmaster gneral and the local postmaster has little jurisdiction over him. Seats for Kumm Illustrated Lecture on sale at Y. M. C. A., 25 and 50 cents. 21 11 CINCINNATI UNIV. AGAINST EARLHAM Tomorrow afternoon Cincinnati university will cross bats with the Quakers on Reid field in a return game. These teams opend their season in a game at Cincinnati in which the locals carried away the big end of a score of 5 to 2. Both teams have improved much since that game and the clash tomorrow is expected to ba closely fought. Brubaker and Bogue, short and second base, will be back in the game, being out of the last game. Kennedy of the Buckeye team is probably the best t wirier the Quakers have faced this season and with Saunders starting the game for the locals the game promises to be a pitchers battle. While the Ohio .game will not count in the standing in the state the game is of much interest, probably because of the keen rivalry between the two Bchools. SUIT AGAINST CITY WAS ENTERED TODAY Suit to recover balance of money due on a contract was filed against the city of Richmond by the Sullivan Cement Stone company in the Wayne circuit court this afternoon. The demand is $250. The complainant alleges that the city refused to pay for the balance due on the cost of the construction of sidewalks in West Richmond. It is alleged that the work was done in 1909, during the last year ot Mayor Schillinger's administration,the complaint saying that the city retained the usual five pre cent as a guarantee that th work would be satisfactory. It is alleged that a portion of the work was not satisfactory and that the city demanded that it be repaired, which was done and that afterwards the city refused to pay for the work. "VATT."

PASTORATES HOT MUCH IN DEMAND

Two Thousand Presbyterian Pulpits Are Reported as Unfilled. Now. LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 2L That there are 2.000 pastorless churches in the Presbyterian denomination was the assertion made by Dr. Joseph Cochran, secretary of the board of education to the general assembly. Dr. Cochran appealed for better financial support for the ministers, declaring that young men would not regard the ministry as a man's job until the church paid a man's wages. "We are gaining barely enough men fo supply the church," he said. "In calling for more men we are calling for heroes who must face starvation wages." One result of merging the ministerial relief and ministerial sustention funds, is expected to be that annuities as high as $500 can be paid ministers out of service whereas the maximum has been $300. The project to raise a fund of ten million dollars to provide adequate pensions will be pushed.
