Board of Public, Works Took Matter?Up at Meeting Today. Engineer Mueller Was Present.

IMPROVEMENTS AT CITY. LIGHT PLANT Special Meeting Is Called for Tuesday When: the Nature of Improvements Will Be Decided Upon! F t The subject of having a new bridge for Main street and-moving the present bridge to a new location in the south end, was discused at the board of works meeting this morning. It is the opinion of the members that this plan would prove the safest and most satisfactory in the end and it will meet with further discussion at the next meeting oft the board. Bridge Engineer Mueller of Newcastle 8tated.that the bridge that now stands at Main street will not last over six or -seven years at the most unless It is taken down and gone over thoroughly. It-the bridge would be painted as it stands, many defective places would be missed and the crevices could not be promptly filled, he said, whereas if the bridge were taken down, it.cduld be sandblasted and dipped and made to last thirty or forty years more. If the bridge is taken down it could be moved to the south end and a new bridge put in the same location without anjr more expense than would be j;equired to build a new bridge at the south end and leave the old one at: Its present location, Mueller declared; 7 May Level Bridge. VThe plan of making the Main street bridge. level was also discussed. City Engineer Charles stated that there is now, a drop of fifteen or sixteen feet rom the west end of the bridge to ' the east end. Charles said the bridge could be leveled and a graded crossing placed over the C. and O. railroad tracks which now have an overhead crossing at' Main street. This would make the bridge safer and more convenient and J lessen the iwear caused by heavy traction cars. The matter of appropriating money to widen and pave North Third street from Main street to North D street was brought up at the meeting and the city engineer was instructed to draw up specifications for this proposed improvement. . In cape this is done there would be a direct connection of paved streets from the business section of the city to the C. and O. railroad depot. It is not believed that this improvement would cost the city much as the situation of the houses -and factories along the street will make the widening of it easy to accomplish. The advisability of placing a new bridge at the Fifth street crossing of the Chicago division of the Pennsylvania railroad "was discussed. The present bridge is inadequate, officials say, as only one vehicle can cross it at a time and the approaches to the bridge are on a steep slope. A new bridge would eliminate the danger at the crossing. Plant Improvements. The board will hold a special session Tuesday to discuss the proposed improvements for the city light plant. Nimrod Johnson, superintendent of the plant, met with the board this morning and gave his ideas of what should be done to increase the efficiensy of the system and asked for an entire day's discussion on the plans. Whether new engines and generators or a new turbine is wanted, has not been decided as yet. The placing of new boilers, new smoke stack and other improvements that will be made at the plant will be decided at the special meeting Tuesday. It is not known how much the proposed, improvements to the plant will cost '

Get the Best Out of Life

Not so very many years ago each family supplied its own needs wove their own clothing, grew their own food supplies, and built their own simple furniture. Through differences in ability some people could make certain articles better than any one else. Gradually they made more and more of these goods and exchanged them for other needed things. But they could sell only" fo' tlfose" withfn" easy reach, because transportation facilities were limited. - , . Nowadays y?ur clothing raayf come from the north, your hats from th east, your foods from the sout'a, and your furniture from the west.. The makers of these things must find you, the man or woman who needs their product. The means they take to bring their goods before you is advertising. ... Advertising solves what professors call "the problems of commodity distribution." By means of it you buy the newest, best and most useful things made in the world. It is to your advantage, therefore, to read the advertisements in THE PALLADIUM. That is one certain way to get the best out of life In the way of new comforts, -luxuries, and necessities of an advancing' civilization. ,

CHILD-WIFE IS SILENT

Hensley Denies that There Was Anything Wrong in His Action. As a result of the Investigations of Prosecuting Attorney Reller and Probation Officer Elizabeth Candler, Benjamin Hensley and Joseph Allen were arrested yesterday afternoon charged with contributing to the delinquency of Mrs. Benjamin Hensley, the former's twelve-year-old wife. Mrs. Mary Allen, wife of Joseph Allen, will be arrested as soon as found. All three are believed to have sworn to an untruth when they took oath at the office of Justice of Peace Samuel K. Morgan that Georgianna Doyle, now Mrs. Hensley, grand-child of the Aliens, was sixteen years of age. Mrs. Hensley will be thirteen years old the sixteenth of this month. The girl-wife was taken in custody and will be held at the Home for Friendless Women until the defendants in the case are brought to trial. Released On Bond. Allen was released from the county jail on a $300 bond while Hensley was confined there, being unable to give bond, which was fixed at the same amount. He has employed an attorney and intends to secure the child if possible. "I cannot see where the law has been violated," Henseley, who is twentyfive years of age, declares. This morning Allen and another man went to the home and demanded to see the child. Aurelia Thomas, matron at the home, refused them the priviledge of seeing. Mrs. Hensley. They became very abusive, it is said, and insulted Mrs. Thomas. Prosecutor Reller gave orders that no one was permitted to interview the child-wife without his consent. The homes of the relatives of Mrs. Allen were searched today in an attempt to find her though no trace of her was found. Her husband said he had no knowledge of her whereabouts and the authorities believe she has left the city. The young girl refused to give any statement whether she was in love with Hensley or not. She remained silent refusing to answer the questions of Mrs. Candler. She "will be sent to the tate home for friendless women, according to Prosecutor Reller. SEARCH FOR POISON In the Body of Mrs. Mildred Donovan.(National News Association) BOSTON, Jan. 2. Prof. Henry F. Whitney, the Harvard medical school expert, today began to hunt for poison in the body of Mrs. Mildred Donovan, the young Revere matron whose body was found in a lonely lot in the rear of Holycross cemetery, Maiden.

There are circumstances which point to all three causes. j Until Prof. Whitney has finished his examination and reported, Medical Examiner 'Durrell will not report on the case. There will be no death certificate issued until Whitney reports. In the meanhtime James Benning, of Everett, the prize fighter whose ring name is "Young Kid Carter" and who admts' having been in the young woman's company the night she met her death, is held bythe Boston police on. another charge that of shooting Win.

PEACE NOW PROSPECT

Turks Reluctant to Give Up Adrianople and Aegean Sea Islands. (National News Association) ATHENS, Greece, Jan. 2. A Greek column of troops today occupied Myly, a town in Epirus, driving out Turkish garrison.' POWERS DECLINE AID. ROME, Jan. 2. The Constantinople correspondent of the Gioournale d' Italia telegraphed to his paper today that the powers have refused to intervene in the Turko-Balkan negotiations on the terms proposed by the porte. According to this dispatch the powers informed the porte that they would not consider the proposal to intervene unless Turkey cedes Adrianople to Bulgaria and the Aegean Islands to Greece. LONDON CONFERENCE. LONDON, Jan. 2. Although hopes of peace in the Balkans were higher today than at any previous time since the negotiations began in consequence of the latest proposals of the Ottoman delegates, the pathway tp a satisfactory treaty is by no means clear. Rechid Pacha, who has assumed leadership of the Ottoman delegation, declared today that Turkey would give up neither Adrianople nor the Aegean Islands without satisfactory returns. "We believe our course so far has been justified in the eyes of the world," said Dechid Pacha. "Turkey cannot relinquish Adrianople and the Aegean Islands upon the basis of the terms as they now stand. In our new countr proposals we made concessions which in our minds should prove acceptable to the allies." Turks Are Hopeless. The declaration of Recid Pacha followed a telegraph report from the Turkish capital that the powers had refused to intervene on Turkey's request, unless the Ottoman government consents to give up Adrianople and the Aegean Islands. From today's angle it looks as though the success of the negotiations now hangs upon Adrianople and the Aegean Islands. Turkey's present attitude upon the disposition of Adrianople and the Aegean Islands is this: 1 First, the porte will treat direct with Bulgaria as to the status of Adrianople; second, the porte is willing to allow both questions to go into the ambassadorial high court for settlement. Although there was no formal session today of the plenipotentiaries in St. James Palace, the Balkan envoys met among themselves and the Turks also held a meeting. It is understood that G. Novakovitch, of the Servian J delegation made an impassioned I appeal to his colleagues in behalf of Servia representations in the conference. It was expected that there would be an informal meeting of the ambassa dors in the foreign office this afternoon for discussion of the Scutari, which is claimed by the Montenegrins. Because of the strategic importance of that city. Commercially, its disposition is of high interest in Europe. BAILEY STANDPAT CLEARTC) FINISH Opposes Initiative, Referendum and Recall in His "Swan Song" Today. (National News Association) WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. The house wa in session only ten minutes today. The senate notified the house of its disagreement to the amended immigration bill and asked for a conference. Speaker Clark appointed a committee of three to represent the house. Adjournment was then taken out of respect to the memory of Rep. McHenry, who died during the recess. BAILEY'S SWAN SONG. WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. Attracted by a desire to hear Senator Joseph W. Bailey of Texas, make his "swan song"' speech in the senate, a large throng of spectators crowded the galleries when the senator arose to give his arguments againot the initiative, referendum and recall. He sought to make out a complete case against the dictrine of the recall of judges. Nearly all of the members of the senate who are in the city were present, as well as many representatives from the hoase. Mr. Bailey said that the men who opposed the initiative and referendum have, made no .special effort to reach the people except through the magazines and newspapers. He declared that an examination will show that the "miscalled reform had been adopted in several states by votes that did not represent 25 per cent of the qualified electors in those states '.because no adequate attempt was made to instruct the people and bring them to the polls.

Supt. Williams, of Schools,

Says This County Will Re- -. ceive More Money in Case LavIs Passed. FIGHT IN GENERAL ASSEMBLY EXPECTED - Officials Want State to Col lect in Proportion to the Wealth and Distribute Ac cording to Attendance. Wayne county will be greatly benefited in case of the passage of the pro posed law to be presented to the statelegislature at the coming session relative to the distribution of the educa tional funds cf the state, according to County Superintendent Williams. Under the.present plan, Wayne coutt ty draws $4 per capita for each of the 10,500 pupils in the schools making an approximate total of $42,000. Under the new proposed plan $100 will be appropriated for each teacher and the balance will be divided in proportion to the attendance. By this plan Wayne county will be benefited because there are more teachers in proportion to the number of students in the ' Wayne county schools than in the average county in the state. In Wayne county there are 254 teachers,an increase of six over last year There are twenty-eight pupils to every teacher in Wayne county while the average in the various counties in the state is thirtytwo pupils to each teacher. The new plan is known as the Terre Haute plan as it was instituted by school authorities in that city. Ft. Wayne Objects. Every city and county in the northern part of the state except Ft. Wayne indorsed this measure and every county in the southern part of the state is fighting its passage. The reason for this is that the ; northern schools maintain a longer school session than the other schools. The appropriation therefore would be greatly increased among the northern counties as the school attendance would be larger as a result of the longer session. In Wayne county the average session is 166 days while the average county session is 144 days. By a comparison of the two gains that of the teachers and the pupils this county would gain approximately 15 per cent, or from $6,000 to $14,000. The minimum amount which the county could gain is $6,000 and unless the counties south of the National road lengthened their school session Wayne county will gain $14,000. Would Be Fair. "Wayne county is 'short on children and 'long' on wealth and according to the present plans of assessment approximately $10,000 more per year is paid into the fund by this county than is returned," said Supt. Williams. "Collect in proportion to the wealth of the counties but distribute according to the average attendance is what county officials here desire. Our own assessment would not be as large then and the southern counties which make very small a ssessments on their residents would necessarily be compelled to make a larger one which would be only just. They do not make a large enough appropriation for maintenance of their schools while we ai compelled to make . too large an appropriation. Ft. Wayne is the only northern city fighting the law because there are many parochial schools there and other private institutions which would cause that community to lose money. This play, if the law is passed, will compell the southern county officials to install truant officers and inflict punishments on truants. We have truant officers in all northern cities but in southern cities the law is not vigorously enforced. It will be to the advantage of the school authorities to have as many pupils attend school as possible and will also necessitate that when pupils once register that they be compelled to keep regular attendance. 1 NEW REINFORCEMENTS To Aid in Running Down W.
