Plan to Spend $60,000,000 on Public Buildings and Rivers and Harbors at Short Session.

PLANS OF ECONOMY TO BE FORGOTTEN Strong Navy Advocates to j Resume Their Fight. I Democratic Leaders Are Busy with Program. . (National News Association) WASHINGTON, Nov. 22 The prospect of legislation of the "pork barrel" variety is growing brighter as the time draws near for the opening of the short session of congress. Democratic leaders are now quite agreed that a public building bill, carrying something like $25,000,000 would be a good measure for the country. Likewise it is their belief that a rivers and harbors measure providing for a continuance of work on projects already on foot will be reported from committee. This bill, it is declared by experts should carry an appropriation of not less than $30,000,000.' Advocates of an omnibus public building bill lost their light in the last session, being compelled to give way to the bill which authorized the construction of a big battleship for the navy. The Democrats were striving for ecenomy and two measures, both making large drafts upon the public treasury, were " not considered advisable. However, In the legislative trading process promises were made to the public building advocates and a demand for the fulfillment of these promises will be made at the coming session. There are other evidences already apparent on capitol hill that the short session will not adhere closely to a policy of passing only the appropriation bills that are necessary for the upkeep of the government. In the air there is talk of a renewal of a fight for a greater navy. Many of the Democratic leaders have arrived and are busily engaged In working out legislation planned for the session. Speaker Clark is in daily consultation with his associates and majority leader Oscar Underwood. IL CASE WAS CLOSED TODAY Fate of Miss Cecelia Farley, Alleged Murderess, in Hands of Jury. (National News Association) COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 23 The case of Miss Cecelia Farley, the beautiful young stenographer, charged with murdering Alvin Zollinger, an advertising, sofcitor, to prevent him from revealing improper relations that had existed between them to her fiance, Jerome ' Quigley, went to the jury . shortly after noon today. The charge of Judge Evans was considered most fair by both sides. Prosecutor Turner in his closing address for the state concluded by asking the jurors to bring in a verdict of murder in the first degree. "Do your duty men," was his demand 'on the jurors. "If you cannot convict this woman of murder you might as well say to the other immoral women of this community, "go thou and do likewise. Miss Farley experienced no break down during the prosecutor's address. Her head lowered and she scarcely lifted her eyes from the floor. A few feet In front of her sat her sweetheart, Quigley, who has declared he will marry the girl if she is acquitted. The trial which has just closed was most sensational in character and developed testimony which indicated that Miss Farlow had had improper relations with both Zollinger and Quigley. Zollinger, who was a married man, was accused by the defense of having brought about the ruin of the girl when she was only 17 years old. FIVE ARMY HEROES (National News Association) WASHINGTON, Nov. 23. The United States today paid the highest honor possible to five army officers when President Taft pinned congressional medals of honor on the breasts of Captain Archie Miller of Missouri, Captain Julian Caujot of West Virginia, Lieut Arthur Wilson of Iowa, Lieut. .T. Kennedy of Iowa, and Sergeant Joseph Henderson for deeds of valor. The presentation took place at the white house. As the president pinned each green and gold medal on the recipients he spoke a few words of congratulation. Only a dozen medals for Valor have been presented during the history of the nation.

Trustees of the Eastern Indiana Hospital for the Insane Want 150 Acres in Center Township.

JOHN AND CLARA KEMPTON OWNERS They Have Refused to Part with the Land at a Reason able Figure, According to Complaint, The state of Indiana by John W. Hannan, Joseph L. Cowing, John Detemore and Mededith Nicholson, trustees of the Eastern Indiana Hospital for the Insane, today instituted condemnation proceedings in the circuit court, ! against John L. Kempton and Clara J. i Kempton, husband and wife. The complaint asks that the court order the land condemned and appoint appraisers to fix the value of it. The j land in question comprises two farms j in Center township, one of 110 acres I and the other of 40 acres, which the institution desires for colonization , purposes. j That the board of trustees has deteri mined that the institution must have ; this ground and that the trustees have j attempted to purchase it, is alleged in j the complaint. The plaintiffs assert ; that they have offered a reasonable ; price for the land but that the defend- , ants refuse to sell. ; The complaint reads: "The board has decided that it is j necessary for the welfare and conven- ! ionce and successful operation of the ! hospital to acquire tracts of land ; separated from the present hospital i grounds but of easy access for the purpose of establishing thereon a colony i of inmates who can be better treated by such means than now in the present institution. "The board has determined it necessary to acquire-the certain farms owned by the defendants which are situated in Center township one a part of the northwest quarter of section 10, township 16, range 14 east, comprising . 110 acres, and the other a part of the northeast quarter of section 10, town- : ship 16, range 14 east, comprising 40 acres." I Can Condemn Land. j All buildings and improvements now j on the land is desired by the institution, according to the complaint. By the law passed by the 1911 legislature state institutions are empowered with the authority to exercise the right of eminent domain, provided that the written consent of the governor has been procured before proceedings are instituted. The comi plaint stated that the written consent of the governor has been obtained in this matter. Dr. S. E. Smith, superintendent of the hospital, was instrumental in sej curing the passage of this law and al- ; so in obtaining the appropriation of ' $75,000 to be spent in connection with the Richmond inistitutlon. Dr. Smith has been one of the leading figures in the agitation for the colonization of the insane in the state. At the nineteenth annual session of are Indiana State Conference of Charities and Corrections held at Marion in 1910, Dr. Smith, who was president of the conference at that time delivered an address on this subject. Dr. Smith's Theory. Parts of his address touching upon the colonization follows: Colonies may be established in substantial plain and inexpensive buildings on land selected with a view to convenient executive and medical cntrol by the. administrative officers of two or three of the existing hospitals. The colony farm should be in proximity to the parent institution and should in its advantages meet the usual requirements of an institution in water supply, character of soil, drainage and means of transportation. To this country place the quiet chronic cases, the subject of periodic insanity, and even a fair proportion of the convalescents may be transferred, some temporarily and others permanently, and at the same time continue under the medical and executive supervision (Continued on Page Six) REWARDED TODAY Capt. Caujot was rewarded for crossing a field under lire at Agua Prieta, Mexico, April 13, 1911, to obtain the permission of the Mexican rebel commander to receive the surrender of the Mexican federals, and to escort such forces, together with five Americans held as prisoners, to the American lines. The other four medals were awarded for conspicuous bravery in the Philippines on July 2, 1909. The four officers hoisted a gun to the top of a steep rock under a withering fire from the Filipino pirates on Tatien island, and then held it in place while It was being fired.

'Fire Bug" Is Alleged to Have Set on Fire Buildings at Economy and Greensfork.

BRAZILLA CLARK IS A HEAVY LOSER Greensfork Fire Fund Is Steadily Increasing Odd Fellows Are Planning to Build Again. STAFF CORRESPONDENT. ECONOMY, Ind., Nov. 23. Rumors are afloat in this little town to the effect that the fire which was discovered at 5 o'clock yesterday morning, was of incendiary origin and that it was connected In some manner with the two fires ia Greensfork, seven miles from herl, and the fire at the home of Seth Lucas, two miles from Greensfork. That the Grfeensfork fires were the results of work of fire-bugs no one doubts. Indictments, it is understood, are now out against persons charged with incendiarism. It is highly probable in view taf the fact that the local fire occurred a short time after the Greensfork conflagrations, that the matter will come before the Wayne county grand jury, which meets again one week from Monday. Those who discovered the fire and who were the first on the scene declare that it started in the Wilson store, which was on the corner of the building. It Btarted, they declare, in a room, where there was no stove, and under which were two large tanks of coaloil. Many believe that coaloil had been poured on the floor of this room. The total loss, as stated yesterday, was about $6,000. Probably two-thirds of this loss was covered by insurance, r Clark l Loser, , One of the many peculiar facts which has been brought to notice by the fire is that this was the fourth fire to buildings owned by B. W. Clark. The three previous fires occurred a few years ago, the buildings which burned, being barns. Although those who suffered loss by the fire have not decided just what they will do, it is likely that it will not be long before the block is rebuilt. Raymond Dougherty, an officer in the Odd Fellows' lodge, stated today that the order may buy the lot and erect a building, the lower floor to be used for store or business rooms and the upper floors for lodge rooms. The hotel building was remodeled in 1902. It had eleven rooms. FIRE FUND INCREASING. GREENSFORK, Ind., Nov. 23.-The Greensfork fire company fund is steadily increasing, having now reached the sum of $240. This sum is the result of numerous small contributions, the proceeds of a supper given for this purpose and three larger donations. L. I. C. band at Hagerstown, $24; George Mashmeyer, of Richmond, $50, and Miss Edith Hatfield, of this place, $62.50. All of the contributions were voluntarily made. Will Roller, one of the heaviest losers in the second Greensfork fire is now occupying a room on Main street which formerly was used as a gymnasium. Mr. Roller stated today that he may build later on, but does not expect to do so next spring. An attempt was made among the losers by the fire to organize a stock company and purchase the corner lot, but the attempt was not successful. A. L. Kienzle, who resides in Oklahoma, owns the lot and now has workmen clearing the debris. It is understood that Kienzle intends to con struct a two story building with two or three business rooms. Four business rooms were destroyed by this fire. ' Dr. Kerr Builds. Dr. Kerr has erected an office on the north side of the street, on the ground where the large business block was devastated by the first fire, July 28. Dr. Kerr is also having a two story building erected on the lot adjacent to his office. This building will have two store rooms and a , large hall above.. The Odd Fellows' lodge probably will build again. At the meeting of the grand lodge held last week at Indianapolis the local lodge of Odd Fellows sent several delegates for the purpose of asking permission to solicit funds for the erection of a new hall. However, because of the fact that the lodge had no insurance on the building which burned, the grand lodge was unable to grant the request of the Greensfork delegates. MONEY IN FUND (Palladium Special) CENTERVILLE, Ind., Nov. 23. The sum of $230 was reported in the treasury of the Centerville Woman's Cemetery association. Many donations were received from persons anxious to see that Crown Hill cemetery be maintained beautiful.

$10,000 IS GIVEN FATHER MATTINGLY Sum to Be Used to Decorate the Interior of West Baden Church. Parishoners of St. Mary's Catholic church will be interested to learn that the Rev. Father Mattingly, of West Baden, former priest in charge of St. Mary's, on last Tuesday was handed a check for $10,000 to be used as he deems best. It has been the aim of Father Mattingly to make the Catholic church at West Baden one of the rnqst ideal j places of worship in Indiana. The girt of the Chicago donor will be used to decorate the interior of the edifice. It is said that the improvement will make the church one of the most beautiful in the state. John T.

M,J, O'BRIEN DEAD IN RESIDENCE HERE Complication of Diseases Claimed the President of T Chair Company. Michael J. O'Brien, aged 63, president Of the Richmond Chair company, died from a complication of diseases at his home, 105 South Twelfth street, this morning. Death came suddenly. He was able to be on the streets as late as Thursday. A native of Ireland, O'Brien came to this country about forty years ago, and thirty-five years ago came to Rich-! mond. He was connected with the Richmond Chair company for many years, working his way up to president of the concern. Mr. O'Brien was deeply interested in the financial affairs of the city. He made a careful study of the chaotic condition of the municipal funds, and through his untiring efforts a semblance of order was gradually evolved. The present system owes much to his efforts. The sinking fund of the municipal light plant was one of his ideas. Ac-; cording to the scheme the city is monthly laying aside $600 and it is expected that the interest on this fund will in eighteen years pay off the bonded indebtedness of the plant. . It would have taken many years to do so if this plan had not been adopted. He was prominently connected with the Hibernians and 'was a fourth degree member of the Knights of Columbus. Mr. O'Brien was one of the commissioners of the municipal sinking fund. He was a prominent member of the local post of the Travelers Protective association, and influential in shaping the course of the state and national organizations of the T. P. A. He was connected with St. - Mary's church. He is survived by a wife and a son, Archlbold O'Brien, residing in Louisiana. The funeral arrangements will j be announced later. . -

STORE WRECKED BY DYNAMITE CHARGE One Man Near Poplar Bluff, Mo., Killed and Three Reported Dying. (National News Association) POPLAR BLUFF, Mo.. Nov. 23. Charles Coonce was killed, three men probably fatally injured, and two others severely injured today when Frank Kittredges general store at Walsh's Spur was blown up by dynamite. It was the trading place for employes of the Taul Lumber company of Chicago, and the Raymond, Lavin lumber

Vmill. An investigation is being made by the authorities on the theory that the store was blown up by a disgruntled employe. It is estimated that 100 pounds of dynamite was exploded. The shock rocked houses in Poplar Bluff, five miles distance, and was plainly felt fifteen miles away. The railway operator at Harville, two miles distant, was hurled from his chair. TO CUT OR NOT TO CUT CLASSES Under a new ruling of the Earlham college faculty passed this week students are allowed eight cuts a term to provide for minor cases of illness. If a student takes more than eight. cuts, the excess of cuts is subtracteed from the allowance of eight cuts of the next term. If at any time a student has more than sixteen cuts against him, he forfeits one hour of college credits. It may be added that, in the college vernacular a cut is an unwarranted absence from the class room. MAINTENANCE OF ROADS IS DRGED Organization Perfected to Promote Proper Care of County Highways. Members of the board of county commissioners, road supervisors, road superintendents, township trustees, and some members of the Commercial club met at the court house this aftejnoon and formed a permanent organization, the purpose of which is to take better care of the roads throughout the county. - Robert Beeson, president of the board of county commissioners, called the meeting. Mr. Beeson believes. that by hearty co-operation upon the "part of all who have charge of the roads in the . county better results may be obtained. "We have been accustomed to allow the roads to run down and have not attended to "them" systematically,' said Mr. Beeson in explaining the purpose of the meeting. "By the proper scraping of the roads and the proper patching, in leveling the gravel or crushed stote the water would run off and as a result there would be few mud holes. When a road Is patched the gravel should be tamped Instead of just thrown on the road. It should also be leveled and not dumped in a heap. "I believe we should form a permanent organization. We should meet at least three or four times a year to discuss road building and maintenance.

In response to a request of Chief of Police Gormon of the moving picture show managers that they disregard the proposition of a tobacco company to accept the cigaret coupons of the company for admission to the shows, the proprietors have decided to disregard the proposition of the company. All the managers were interviewed by a representative of the police department yesterday, and all signified their intention of ignoring the company's proposition. One manager said he had entertained no thoughts of accepting the proposition, believing that it would be an action on the part of the picture show men to corrupt the morals of the young men if he did so. $1,030,05 SPENT BY THE PROGRESSIVES Used to Advance Interests of Cause in Wayne County in the Campaign.

A dispatch from Sofia says that the Albanian chiefs declared their independence of Turkey, today. The telegrams added that plana for autonomous government for Alba"' nla would be made at once. Albania was the most Important Turkish group in Europe, containing about 20,000 square miles of territory and 14,000,000 inhabitants. MODIFIES HER TERMS. . SOFIA. Nov. 23. Bulgaria has modified her armistice terms to Turkey. Official announcement was made to day that negotiations between the Turkish and Bulgarian plenipotentiaries have been resumed with a view to bringing about peace. ' EUROPEAN SITUATION. LONDON, Nov. 23. Every, dispatch from the front today increased the pessimism among the diplomatic corps here over the situation which Is likely to arise from the Balkan war. The dispatches indicate that war preparations are being made by Russia, Austria, Germany and Italy. Roumania, the only Balkan kingdom which remained neutral, will probably throw her strength with Austria against Russia if hostilities begin. St. Petersburg telgrams say that the Russian war office Is rushing thoos-! ands of troops and war munitions to' the Austrian frontier. A Naval Demonstration. Italy has consented to join Austria) in a great naval demonstration In thei AdriaUc sea and naval preparations by both Austria and Italy are being rushThis joint sea demonstration fs dij rected against Servian occupation of ports on the Adriatic. ' ( Germany is massing troops In Pom-, erania with a view to supporting her ally, Austria, in the event of an outbreak of war In Europe. Reports from Berlin say that the, German war office is in a flurry and; that troops are being made up for the! embarkation of large bodies of soldiers and artillery. The Importance of the present visit of Archduke Francis Ferdinand. belr to the Austrian throne to Berlin, Is being dwelt upon in diplomatic circle as, it indicates that Germany will play a very important role in any eventuality. Mobilizes Big Army. Austria is mobilizing 300.000 men for, use in Southern Hungary along the Servian frontier and In the Provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina where Slav senUment is strong. The government; is guarding against the unreliability of, her Slav troops by sending Austrian; soldiers to the regions near the Balkans. Many of the Austrian troops which are being sent . toward the Danube were drawn from the Italian frontier . and the war office is confident that they can be fully relied upon. In the event of war between Austria and Servia. the Austrian plan of campaign would probably be to mass an army near Temesvar in Hungary from which point Belgrade could be easily reached. Telegrams from Balkan points indicate that the allies will back up Servia if Austria attempts to hinder the Balkan program drawn up before the Balkan war broke out. The bulk of the Servian army is being held near the Servian frontier and the Servian fortresses along the Danube are being strengthened. A report was received here today that M. Prochaska, the Austrian consul in Prisrend. had been killed by Servian soldiers but there was no official facts to support this. The stock exchanges were depressed today by the turn the European situation has taken. THE WEATHER STATE Generally fair tonight and , Sunday; colder tonight In north , portion; colder 8unday.
