i f ' Men's Christian Association at Hamp'fCmond, November 22, 23 and 24 in the ?JJ:lj I announcement that Abraham Bowers, '"'t -Vjf I formerly of Indiana, and at present tv vj f f immigration secretary of the Chicago
association, is to take part in the demonstrations of the association's industrial work. Mr. Bowers is the leading exponent In the Middle West of Dr. Peter Roberts' English-teaching method for foreigners and has had charge of this work in .the Chicago field and Its manufacturing environs for several years. , Because of the enormous industrial activity and the large number of foreign-born men in the Calumet region, special stress is being laid on the
work of the association among workmen and Immigrants. Shop meetings to illustrate these features are planned
for the first two days of the conven
tioh. English-teaching will be one of
the important themes of the business men's dinner, where Dr. Roberts himself will demonstrate his original method with a dozen recent immigrants. Indiana in general and the industrial - communities-in particular are the direct benefieiaries of Secretary Bowers' work in the practice of the "glad hand to the immigrant." Hundreds of the thousands of immigrants who land In America every year sooner or later reach points in Indiana
where they are Immediately related to
some association or otherwise givtn needed help.
Chicago has become the distributing
center for almost all immigrants des
lined for this state, the West and
Northwest Under his direction these men are met at railroad stations and
either directed to their city destina
tions or placed on trains for other
inland points.
In the event the immigrant is coin
ing to any one of the Industrial cen
ters of Indiana, the state executive committee at Indianapolis is notified by the secretary' at Ellis Island, New
York, or by the immigration depart ment in Chicago, and the local asso
elation is on the lookout for him. If he is bound for Gary. South Bend cr Evansville, the secretary at that point
is notified by the state committee and
either meets the man at the train or
looks him up immediately after his
arrival. Many immigrants have been saved from financial exploitation by
this service. The cab driver or ex
pressman who grows fat on extor
tion can not practice his trade sue
cessfully under the eyes of an associa
tion secretary

ud at the ports of Naples, Genoa. Liv

OF MORE OUTRAGES Implicates President Ryan in Dynamite Explosions in His Testimony. (National "New, Association) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Nov. 14 With jurror Allen Spaulding fully recovered from his Illness the dynamiter McManigal resumed his story of the alleged dynamite campaign of the
Iron Workers' Union in federal court today where forty-five defendants are on trial. To prove that President Ryan did know of the Synamite depradations McManigal told of having talked with Ryan at the headquarters in this city. He testified that Ryan had cautioned him about coming to headquarters too often and told him to change his personal appearance frequently enough to avert suspicion. McManigal told of buying 120 quarts of nitroglycerine from W. A. Morehart, of Albany, Ind., which he secreted in a cinder pile near Muncie, and which he later brought to a vault at headquarters in this city, carrying twenty quarts on each trip on the interurban car. McManigal's testimony today also involved Ed Smythe, a labor leader of Peoria, 111., who McManigal declared directed his explosion operation in that city.

Stale Bread. It Is generally supposed that the ataleness of bread arises from its becoming actually drier by the gradual loss of water, but this is not the case, remarks the Bakers' Weekly. Stale bread contains almost exactly the name proportion of water as new bread after It has become completely cold. The change is merely in the Internal arrangement of the molecules of the bread. A proof of this ix that If we put a stale loaf into a closely covered tin. expose it for half an hour or an hour to a heat not exceedlug that of boiling water and then allow It to cool it will, be restored in appearance and

All records pertaining to the school fund in Wayne county are in excellent condition according to the report of field examiners, J. Frank Barnes and H. A. Kernodle, sent here. The report has been made to the county auditor, Lewis Bowman. The report states that the auditor is using the forms prescribed by the state board. One discrepancy in the common school fund has been rectified. The discrepancy in this fund was made up of the following items as set out in
the report for the year of 1910: June 22, 1866, sale of cattle by John Williams 140.90; and Oct. 9, 187S (item not stated) by A. C. Brown, $2.00; total $42.90. Regarding this matter the report says, "This sum of $42.90 should be transferred from the county revenue to the common school fund and same reported to the superintendent of public instruction as an accretion to said fund." The total amount chargeable and held in trust by this county May 31, 1912, in the common school fund, was $174,406.79. Of this amount $1,666 was received from fines assessed by the mayor of Richmond in police court. The total in the congregational school fund was $45,913. 98; in the permanent endowment fund, $10,559.38. The total in all funds May 31, was $230,880.15. In the common school fund the loans amounted to $171,970; in the congressional school fund, $43,709.05; and in the permanent endowment fund, $",- 950. The total loans amounted to $223,629.05.

The report states that this latter sum was transferred from the county revenue fund to the congressional fund June 3, 1912, and should be reported to the state superintendent of public instruction as an accretion to said fund in tht next annual report by the auditor of Wayne county.
UNDERTAKER FIGHTS WITH LIVERY MAN Pohlmeyer Downs Green and' Latter Comes Back with Whip and a Punch. The strife between Herbert Green, avowed opponent of what he styles the "undertakers' trust of Richmond." reached a climax today when he tried to whip Henry J. Pohlmeyer. of the firm of Wilson, Pohlmeyer and Downing, undertakers. Without a thought of evi! or a desire to engage in a fisticuff, Pohlmeyer, so he says, was walking by the livery barn of Green's this morning.
j "Have you circulated reports regardI ing the unsanitary condition of my carriages?" was the bellicose inquiry of Green, according to the undertaker.
that was preliminary to the scrap. Pohlmeyer said he had made such statements, whereupon Green is said to have cursed him. The undertaker removed his black coat and invited Green to try conclusions. Green accepted, and the side
walk was presently the scene of a mighty interesting scuffle. Green hit Pohlmeyer and the undertaker came back and knocked the liveryman down. Entered on the scene. Harriet Green, daughter of the liveryman. She pleaded that Pohlmeyer desist. When Pohlmeyer was ready to leave. Green took a whip and hit him over the head, and struck him in the eye. The undertaker then left the scene of the encounter. Onlookers said the undertaker won the fight.
