'President of Earlham College'Speaks on Vocational Training and Attitude of College Toward It.

Tremendous drift towards the city Faced with the Possibility of a Famine. College Students Must Take Up New Line of. Teaching. This morning in chapel Pres. Kelly ppoke on Vocational training and the attitude of the college toward it. He showed the fallacy of calling these middle western states agricultural states since more than half of the population of Indiana, for instance, live In cities or large towns, Last year $183,000,000 was made by farmers and $597,000,000 by the manufacturers of the state. "The scientists and economists of our land are trying to check the tremendous drift toward the cities. With the large number of foreign emmigrants coming almost entirely to the cities of this country, we are faced with the possibility of a famine that 1b not so mythical as one might think. The great waste of our soil is also contributing to this danger. A foreign writer has recently called our methods of farming a species of mining. In Germany the average number of bushels .of wheat per acre is 39, in this country it is but 23, and ours is practically "virgin soil," President Kelly said. He said the growing distrust of the methods of education in America is shown by the magazine and newspaper attacks on school and college.' This, with vocational training as its remedy, was the principal topic of discussion at the meeting; of th Indiana 'teachers association at Indianapolis a Ishort time ago. A commission appointed by Governor Marshall two years ago has made its report and a bill is jto'be presented to the legislature at Its coming session. This bill has the backing of banks, insurance companies, boards of trade, labor unions, educational societies and boards throughout the state. Conservative Elements. ' There are two conservative elements that will make this change safe, should it come, Prof. Kelly said, iand not apt to interfere with present Schools. One is that the new schools will be under the state board of education, which is a conservative body, and the other is that there are very few teachers in Indiana who are now qualified to teach vocations. The 17,j00 teachers in this state will not be replaced, but new teachers will have to be trained for the new work. This "will make the ehange gradual. .College students are the only ones who will be able to take up this new line of teaching since only a well jtrained mind can guide an expert and trained hand, he said. Earlham college started Its winter term yesterday with few missing from its ranks and several students added to its roll. Instruction began in all departments, Prof. M. S. Margie taking the classes of Dr. David Dennis, who will spend the winter in Los Angeles. CIVIL GOVERNMENT FOR ZONE DELAYED (Xational Xews Association) WASHINGTON.

ATTORNEYS CONFER (National News Association) COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Jan. 3 District attorneys from all parts of iColorado are gathering here today for (a conference at which they will exchange jviews on the subject of their duties and methods of work.

Stop Right Here Get This Thought

Millions of dollars are spent annually to make you think. To make you THINK of muscle-building and blood-making foods; think of the correct clothes to wear; think of things to make your life and the lives of your family happier and more enjoyable. The powerful force used to make you think, that arouses your enthusiasm and stirs you to action, is advertising. Manufacturers who advertise are helping you to get the best out of life. You can help yourself by reading the advertisements in THE PALLADIUM closely and constantly every day. In this way you can buy the best of everything at the lowest price. THINK before you buy. THINK of the trade-mark that identifies the reliable from the unreliable, the known quality from the unknown. THINK of the satisfaction of always getting the best that money can buy, and act accordingly when you read the adverUsements in THE PALLADIUM.

Ambassador to Mexico Wilson and the U. S. Embassy in Mexico City. Probably the most troublesome post in the entire United States diplomatic service is that held by Henry Lane Wilson, of Washington, U. S. Ambassador to Mexico. The never ending series of revolutions and constant harassing by lawless insurrectos of American residents of Mexico allo AS this shrewd diplomat little or no time for rest or relaxation. His quick and accurate judgment in times of strife has warded off United States intervention on more than one occasion.

MUBDQCK EXPECTED THE EDDY TRAGEDY Mrs. Eddy's Affinity Blames the Whole Affair on New York Millionaire. TO CLEAR HIS NAME Mrs. Murdock, on the Other Hand, Blames Mrs. Eddy for Crime of Mr. Eddy. (National News Association) NEW YORK, Jan. 3. Henry C. Eddy, the retired banker and broker who committed suicide after killing his wife in their Long Island mansion, and Mrs. Eddy, will be buried together in Woodlawn cemetery. The funeral will be private, and only members of the immediate families will be present. After a length investigation the coroner and the assistant district attorney concluded that the murder and suicide were not premeditated. "I had been expecting such a thing," declared Gardner Murdock, who is understood to have eloped with Mrs. Eddy. "Ever since Mrs. Eddy returned to her home I had expected to hear of her death and I told her so before we separated in Texas. ' "But I can clear her name and mine and I certainly intend to do so." ) Murdock declares that Eddy gave J him $10,000 to take Mrs. Eddy away. Later, Murdock declares, he learned : that Eddy and Mrs. Murdock were living together. This furnished the basis of the $50,000 alienation suit, which is believed to have driven Eddy to : commit the double tragedy. Responsibility for the tragedy was placed upon the dead woman today by Mrs. Gardner Murdock, the other woman in the strange martial tangle, involving the two families. "Mrs. Eddy was the cause of all this ; trouble," declared Mrs. Murdock. "She ; pursued my husband" and tried in every way to break up our home. I never had any love for Mr. Eddy anS ; never would have married him." INVENTORY FILED An inventory of the personal estate of Susannah Miller, late of this county, was'appraised by Oren Miller, relative of the deceased. -The total amount of the personal property was appraised at $2oo.C3.

NO HEARING GIVEN PLEAS OF TURKEY

Must Accept Balkan Terms by This Evening or Prepare for War Again. HAD STORMY SESSION Request to Continue the Conference Tomorrow Was Refused by Allies. (National Newi Association) LONDON, Jan. 3 The Turkish delegation to the peace conference continued their policy of procrastination today and secured more delays. They were granted until 6 o'clock this evening to accede to the territorial concessions demanded. The Turks pleaded that the conference go over until tomorrow but the Balkan and Greek envoys refused to grant such a delay. Today's session was a stormy one and order was preserved with great difficulty. WAR IS PROSPECT. LONDON, Jan. 3. A resumption of hostilities in the Balkan war seemed imminent when the peace delegates met again today in St. James Palace in consequence of the development of the past 24 hours. When the session began both sides were maintaining a firm attitude, the allies demanding the cession of Adrianople and the Asgean Islands, the Turks declaring they would never yield those vital points. Dr. S. Daneff, head of the Bulgarian delegation, who served notice Thursday that the negotiations would be broken off today and war resumed if Turkey did not give way was one of the first of the allies plenipotentiaries to reach the palace. "I hope that the Ottoman envoys have prepared a map of the Balkans which meets our approval," he said. Because of the strike of the taxicab chauffeurs the delegates were compelled to use horse cabs today and some of. them were delayed an hour reaching the meeting place. As the delegates got together numerous and conflicting - reports were current. Strong statements from both sides following upon the progress made Wednesday indicated that the old deadlock would either be broken or else negotiations would be broken off and the Balkan governments would order a resumption of hostilities. The vital points that were the issues in the negotiations were the status of Adrianople, the "Mohammedan shrine" of Europe and the Turkish islands in the Aegan sea. Rechid Pacha, leader of the Turks carried a may into the conference showing the territorial concessions that Turkey was willing to make. This may, he said, showed the limits that Turkey would go. This was not the first time however, that Turkey's irreducible minimum had been put up to representatives of the allies. Previously the Ottoman declined to concede any of Thrace or or Epirus but subsequently they gave way before the firmness of the Balkan and Greek representatives. The Turks claim that without Adrianople and the Aegean Islands they had yieldi ed four fifths of what the allies oriIginally claimed.

The sergeant-at-arms received orders from the Pujo committee investigating the money trust not to return to Washington without the witness and the official is emphatic in saying he will get his man. When asked today if he had heard anything from Washington about a warrant for Rockefeller he replied : "I cannot tell you anything about that." Although giving little credence to the report that Mr. Rockefeller had sailed for Bermuda, Mr. Riddell directed two process servers to go to Jekyl Island and take up the chase from there.

The occupants of both conveyances were thrown forcibly to the ground and sustained minor injuries. The carriage was demolished and the front of the taxicab was badly smashed.

The animal was cut in several places by flying glass and otherwise injured. Witnesses to the accident say that the carriage was on the right side of the street as close to the sidewalk as was possible. The taxicab was coming across the bridge at a high rate of speed and on account of the slippery condition of the street, it was unable to turn out in time to avert the accident.

AMBASSADOR

INURED

MAN

MANY DRIVEN INTO TRUSTEE'S OFFICE Incessant Stream of Poverty Stricken People Ask for Aid.

All day long an incessant stream of poverty stricken people poured into the office of Township Trustee Haworth making applications for coal, food and other necessities to sustain them until they were able " to find means for self support. Mor than 2,500 pounds of coal were given out before the office had been open an hour. More fuel and food had been given out before noon today than has been given out any day this winter. Mr. Haworth is strongly in favor of the proposed workhouse in this vicinity. Several applications were refused. "I do not consider that the infirmary is the proper place for men who loaf during the summer, sleeping in parks at night and loafing around saloons during the day, and as soon as cold weather comes want the county to support them," said Mr. Haworth. "Some of the men have families and if they were placed in such an Institution as the proposed workhouse, their wages could be distributed among their families. 1 am interested as well as many other county trustees about the state in the action the legislature takes on the measure which will be placed before them on this proposition. Many of the wives of the present inmates of the county jail applied for assistance at the office of the trustee today. In the relief report of Mr. Haworth for the year of 1912, there is a difference of but $34.16 between the report of 1912 and 1911. More money was expended in 1911 than 1912. The sum of $3,945.01 was expended by the county in 1911 and $3,910.85 In 1912. Besides coal and groceries, the undertakers were paid a ' large percent of the county's poor fund. The cases of sickness among the poor are being provided for by the trustee in all cases. No one has ever been refused medical assistance from the office. But one appeal was refused today for coal. The applicant had plenty of money and was attempting to take advantage of the county tax payers, Mr. Haworth declared. MAY HAVEELECTiON Talk Started at Rushville on Local Option. (Palladium Special.)

APPEAL ARGUMENTS WERE HEARD TODAY Motion to Admit Five of the Dynamiters to Bail Was Heard in Chicago. MILLER MAKES REPLY Case Brought Before the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. CXatlonal News Association) (Bulletin) ADMITTED TO BAIL. , CHICAGO, Jan. 3. Judge Francis; E. Baker in the U. S. curcuit court of appeals decided thia afternoon that the labor leaders convicted of con-' splracy at Indianapolis and now la! the Leavenworth prison should be ad' mitted to bail pending their appeal to the highest court. Judge Baker fixed' the amount of bail at $10,000 for each! year that the labor men were sentenced. This would make Ryan's bail $70,000 and the others ranging dowrt to $10,000. CHICAGO. Jan. 3. Arguments on s motion to admit to bail under a writ' of supersedeas five of the thirty-threw men convicted at Indianapolis of eon-! splracy to illegally transport explo-' sives were begun today before the I'nl-. ted States circuit court of appeals here. : Judges Baker. Seaman and Kohl-, saat, sitting en banc, heard the arguments. The motion was presented by"i Attorney Voline of Chicago In behalf of Frank M. Ryan, president o ftbe International Ironworkers union and! four other officers of that organization.; U. S. District Attorney Charles W.i Miller of Indianapolis resisted the motion. Before court opened a confer-1 ence was held in Attorney Voline's of-i Bee, in which Attorney Krum of St. Louis. Attorney P. H. O'Donald. of Chicago, and Attorney W. N. Harding of Indianapolis, took part. One of the contentions of the defendants was that the government bad acted precipitately In rushing the eon-: victed men to prison. Attorney ZoIinj stated in former cases prisoners were allowed to remain in jail or admitted to bail, pending a ruling of higher courts on motions of supersedeas and, new trial. Zoline declared that sending these men to Ft. Leavenworth has seriously hampered them in their au tempts to have their cases reviewed. Before the argument was under way motions were filed oy the various attorneys on b ta'! of al! the convicted men. excepting Herbert S. Iiockin. Attorney Harding stated tha: Hockii was satisfied with his sentence. Counsel for the defense argue 1 that no crime against the United States statutes was intended and there was no evidence that the conspiracy was formed with the intention of carrying dynamite on. passenger trains and t automobiles were used there would j have been no offense, and consequent-; ly the charge of conspiracy would not stand.
