L. H. (Bunyan, superintendent, took charge j of the Sunday school and the morning j i lesson was read and discussed. Dr. j iChas. W. Whitman, of Liberty, Ind., I delivered the first Sunday morning i sermon and at 7:15 in the evening delivered his instructive lecture on "The Investment of Life." Social service is !the keynote of Dr. Whitman's life investment, he said. Talk On Prison Life. Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth, known in the prison circle where she spends the greater part of her time, as "Little Mother of the prisons" and in the outside world as leader of one of the widest and most vital movements of the age, that of reforming the convict, was the stellar attraction of the day. . Mrs. Booth is one of the ablest wornAn rwa trva In A m ra QVi a Viaa a Koa n. i yi a f 1 1 ra h-nia ktlUI f U11U 1-1 J A ilU I U 1 VUltllD Will j the love and good will which her mes-j sage carries to her audinces. Her lec-, ture for the afternoon was "Lights and Shadows of Prison Life." Mrs. Booth spoke, in part, as follows: Movement Started. "About seventeen years ago, as a "result of the work of convicts themselves the 'Volunteer Prison League' was named and organized in prison. I assisted in this work. Some time later Mr. Booth became the leader of the "Volunteers of America" universalizing this movement for the uplift of the convict. This movement does not represent the Salvation Army. It is entirely different in purpose and in its methods. . "The purpose of the "Volunteer Prison League" is to keep in close touch with the prisoner from the day he enters prison until his discharge and then to brlriSfm to one of the two "Hope Halls" where he has a chance to get another start in life. This organization is exclusively for the man, behind the prison bars, the rule starting the minimum at one year's imprisonment. The population back of the walls in Joliet, Sing Sing, Michigan City, Columbus and other state prisons made up of burglars, thieves, forgers and murderers are well worth saving. I believe that he can be saved. It makes no difference how long he has been there, he has a heart the same as you and I and once you give him the chance and put him in the surroundings of a good home he will make good. "The saying 'once a thief always a thief is not true, the title "ex-convict" should be abolished. There is a higher hope beyond the prison walls. These soul 8 must be rescued. According to spiritual belief they are worth redeeming. t Parents To Blame. "It is not the taint in the blood but j the suffering of childhood that drives humans into the underworld of crime, i Present living conditions in poverty Btricken homes with parents are res- ' ponsible for most of the crimes committed today. I am not a theorist. This is practical every day common sense. "The State has no right to profit by j the labor of prisoners. On the contrary j the prisoners should be allowed to j earn his keep and make enough in j prison to support his unfortunate famIly outside the walls or save enough to put him on his feet when his seni tence Is expired. 1 "The true secret of prison reform is to go deep and far Into the root of the question. Education does not prevent crimes, some of the most aducated are ..behind prison walls; physical developtment does not prevent crimes, the touch divine to the human heart makes ' bad hearts good." Commands High Salary. Mrs. Booth commands the highest t price ever paid a woman lecturer in this country and the money thus earned goes to support her two Hope Halls homes for paroled and discharged pris- , JXtoaUauM SO, L&at asa
MAYOR CLIMBS BIG STACK BUT SAYS "NEVER AGAIN"
Although Seized With Vertigo Zimmerman Shows His Gameness and Makes the Climb in 9y2 Minutes. "Never again," said Mayor Zimmerman this morning after he had climbed the 175-foot stack at the city light plant. The matter came up this morning at the meeting of the board of words and Mayor Zimmerman stated that before the stack would be accepted, the board should make a personal Inspection and see if it meets the re quirements. "I move that the members of the board climb the stark " said thf mavnr a'fter he had been Informed that the hie rhimnpv wa rnrtv fnr innonnn Fred Charles, city engineer, who was ! recently injured in a fall, entered a ; faint objection.

In the course of the 175 feet, the stack seemed to dwimile to a point although it is really 10 feet in diameter at the upper end. Mayor Zimmerman produced a pair of leather gloves and taking off his coat, started to climb he narrow iron foot rests which serve as a ladder.

Harper, Member of Richmond Force, Plead Guilty to Charge. Charged with disturbing the peace at Eaton. O., with his disorderly conduct, Patrolman Benjamin F. Harper, j of this city, was arrested at the Eaton Larnlval last Thursday evening. When arraigned before Mayor Kelly, of Eaton, he entered a plea of guilty and was given a fine of $5.40. An effort had been made to keep the arrest of the Richmond policeman quite. Night Officer Charles Evans made the arrest, and after taking Harper to jail notified Mayor Kelly, who went to the jail and talked with the patrolman. Harper told Kelly that he was a member of the Richmond police force. Talked With Gormon. The Eaton mayor called Chief of Police Gormon over long distance telephone and verified the statement. Gormon said that Harper was a faithful officer, and had never caused any trouble previously. He recommended that he be allowed to return to this city, and that that he would be responsible for Harper's appearance before Mayor Kelly for trial Saturday morning, according to Mayor Kelly. Accordingly the patrolman was allowed to come home that evening. The next morning he went .to Eaton and stated to Mayor Kelly that he was quilty of the charges lied. Without (calling in any witnesses or conducting a trial Mayor Kelly accepted the plea and dismissed Harper with a fine of $3 and costs, amounting to $5.40. Members of the Eaton police force agreed to keep the affair quiet, as did the Eaton papers, which did not print accounts of the arrest. Kelly Is Reticent. When questioned this morning regarding the circumstances of the arrest Mayor Kelly said that he did not know anything about the offense beyond the charge of disorderly conduct filed by Night Officer Evans. He said that he had not examined witnesses and had not entered into the matter, taking the recommendation of Chief Gormon that Harper was a good citizen, and fining him on the grounds that he was more boisterous and rowdy than necessary. When asked for detailed information regarding the charges Night Officer Evans said, "You have the record there charging him with disorderly conduct." "Hush Matter Up." He refused to answer any questions concerning what Harper was doing when arrested, what his condition was, or make any statement beyond the fact that the affair should be "hushed up, and that there was nothing of importance connected with it. The bare record, he said, was sufficient. What action the local police department will take in the matter Is not JJcnoaw.

"I wouldn't do that again for a thousand dollars," said the mayor after reaching the city building. "I guess that stack's all right, and we'll accept it. But the other members of the board will have to climb it, and I'm going to be there when they do, and I'm going to make the reporters climb it, too.

IS WIFE MURDERER Turnkey Miller Says George Schools Threatens to End His Life. WITNESS AT DAYTON George Schools, confessed murderer of his wife, Lydia Schools, may be sent to the Indiana colony for insane as was Seth Lucas several weeks ago. Schools is either demented or is feigning insanity, it is said. Insanity will be his defense according to his attorney. Witnesses will be brought here from Dayton to testify as to School's sanity. The proprietor of the rooming house where School's resided while he was in Dayton a few weeks prior to his crime told of how Schools ran into the house several times and called loudly for a physician saying he was stabbed. An examination of his body failed to reveal any mark of violence. Several other actions of the prisoner indicate that he is mentally unbalanced, his attorneys say. Turnkey Miller stated this morning that Schools was feigning insanity. He continually tells the jail inmates that he is going to commit suicide and asks them to find a place where he can tie a handkerchief and bed clothing with which he says he will carry out his threat. The grand jury will probe the case against Schools August 27. An indictment charging first degree murder probably will be returned. MAY PLACE DUNLAP IN INSANE ASYLUM Prosecutor Reller Will Investigate Case As Soon As Possible. George Dunlap will probably be committed to an insane asylum according to Prosecutor Reller who will investigate the case as soon as possible. Judge Fox expected to examine relatives and residents of Centerville Saturday but because of the Old Settlers picnic did not do so. Dunlap was sent to the Indiana Colony for Insane at Michigan City several years ago from the Wayne circuit court after he had shot Dr. Harrison Gabei and struck Marcellus Beitzell with a club. Both attacks were without provocation. Dunlap said he had enemies in Centerville and he was going to take drastic measures to defend himself. He is now in the county jail having been released from the Michigan City institution after the law which he was convicted under was declared unconstitutional. THE WEATHER STATE AND LOCAL Fair south.

MANY HEAR BISHOP IN SERMON AT THE SCHOOL DEDICATION Right Rev. Joseph Chartrand Pays Tribute to Richmond Congregation.
DAD A HP TCi PHIIDPU Several Visiting Clergy Present Program was Continued Today. The opening exercises of St. Andrew's school dedication wore held j yesterday afternoon at the new school and at St. Andrew's church. The church services were marked by a sermon by the Right Rev. Joseph Chartrand of Indianapolis, co-adjutor bishop of the Indianapolis diocese, who declared that higher education was introduced , by Catholics, and paid a tribute to tht Richmond congregation for the fine new school building. The congregations of St. Mary's and St. Andrew's joined in the dedicatory exercises, and more than two hundred members of societies of both churches paraded from the Pennsylvania depot, where the met the visiting clergy, to the church. Building Cost $75,000. The school fund was started several years ago after the old St. Andrew's school became too small to accommodate the pupils. Two years ago plans were made for the $7o,000 building. The corner stone was laid on June 15, 1912. The school was occupied January 1, 1913. To the school fund the members of the church contributed $30,000. At present there are six teachers at the school. The principal of the high school is Prof. J. M. Richter. One new teacher will be added to the staff this year in the musical department. This will be Sister Emmanuela, who will tsach theory of music ana harmony. Prof. Richter expects to aave the music department brought to the highest point of efficiency during the next year. Expect 320 Students. Preparations are being made for 320 pupils to be enrolled in September when the school opens. The high school room have been completely refurnished with adjustable desks since the close of the school term in June. Parade Was Held. The Right Rev. Chartrand was met at the depot by the members of St. John's drill team, the Y. M. I., Catholic Knights, St. Joseph Benevolent Society, Knights of Columbus and the Bourgman Bays. These societies formed a parade with the Richmond band, and led by B. A. Kennepohl, William Torbeck and Edward R. Berheide, marched to the church, which , St. John's drill team in full uniform executed drills along the line of march. A drill was given in front of the church by St. John's team, and the band gave a concert lasting an hour in the new school. Visiting Clergy Present. At 4 o'clock the congregation and the visiting clergy, consisting of the Right Rev. Chartrand, Rev. Victor Brucker of Indianapolis, Rev. A. M. Gerder of Middletown, O., Rev. Ratterman of Cincinnati, Rev. William Roberts of Miamisburg, Rev. H. John Rager of Napoleon and Rev. Hyland of Eaton, O., besides Rev. Cronin and Rev. Duffy of St. Mary's church of this city, assembled in the church with the Rev. F. A. Roell and Rev. Bauer of St. Andrew's church. Vespers by the St. Andrew's boys' choir was beautiful and impressive. The subject of the Right Rev. Chartrand's address was "Education in the Church." He declared that education in the church was very comprehensive and meant a knowledge of everything, but esentially a knowledge of God, without which there can not be knowledge. Deep Significance. "The erection of that beautiful and serviceable school Is merely a significance that you have a knowledge and a reverence for God," said Rev. Chartrand. "The Catholic church stands for everything in education. Our schools and churches are for the highest in education. "We are not opposed to education. We are not opposed to free education nor to the highest there is in learning. In fact the modern scientific methods used today were first conceived by a Saint in Europe. "But we are opposed to that principle that takes hold of the child when it is yet in the defenseless age. "Every father and mother who does not wish to suffer the eternal ires of Hell must send their children to the school of the Catholic church. Woe to the parents who do not this. The children belong to God and you parents are only holding them in trust on this earth. "The Catholic church is the agent of God and the Father intended that the children should be brought to the earthly agent to be educated in him. Our churches have expended more money towards education than all the other civilized churches In the world of all denominations. You have done well in erecUng this fitting monument to educate your children to God and it will stand for future generations to show that the Catholic churches and schools are coming to their own and that education in our church is the only safe and sane education for the children

NEW YORK, Aug. 18 A ceived today by hi? mother, Mrs. Gotham in this city, saying he was hurst, the Thaw summer home at Mrs. Thaw will leave tomorrow morning for Elmhurst. Thaw's note was in an envelope apparently addressed by one of the men who had aided him to escape. It had been mailed from station "O" in this city at midnight, Sunday. Over the top Thaw had written "Night letter. Fifty words. Twenty-five cents." He evidently had intended to send it by telegraph. The note read as follows: "All well, will take a rest before going to Elmhurst as I might be asked for interviews and do not wish to refuse. Yet do not care to make any statements. Hope H. and G. arrived safe and that you will go home together. Have sent short notes to journal. H. K. T." Spent Night at Lennox. Thaw together with a man beUeved to be Dr. W. B. Holden. of 220 West Ninety-eighth street, spent the night at the Lennox hotel, Lennox, Mass., according to Richard Stanley, proprietor of the hotel. About eight o'clook a dust covered Palmer-Singer touring car containing
Story of Wealthy Madman's Thrilling Escape.
Thaw's escape by a plot after five years of futile fighting in the New York courts combines all the romantic and sensational elements of fiction. From the moment that he dashed through the gates, eluding Keeper H. H. Barnum. while milk was being delivered at the Institution, Thaw disappeared as completely as though the earth had swallowed him up. Residents of villages near the Connecticut border and on a line between Matteawan and South Nerwalk saw the automobiles, one a landulet and the other a touring car, dashing by at 70 miles an hour and some thought they recognized Thaw and two other men crouching in the touring car. Then all trace was lost until the thread is picked up at South Norwalk. There it - is learned that three men left a dustovered motorcar about 10 o'clock and immediately went on board the yacht. The yacht at once put to sea under a full head of steam and soon was lost to sight. Well Planned Escape. The escape of Thaw was planned with the utmost precision and went through without a hitch. Thaw arose at his usual hour Sunday. After he had taken his breakfast he went into the store-room where he has been employed to do odd jobs. After spending a few minutes there he went into the exercising yard. He wore a straw hat which was unusual for him and was otherwise attired for the outside. Keeper Barnum was in the yard at the time. In a listless voice Thaw bid the keeper good morning and remarked about th heat. Then he took several turns up and down the enclosure and leaned against the gate. For many months Thaw had assumed the same attitude at the same spot and Barnum paid no particular attention to him. At 7:45 the milkman who supplies the institution with milk drove up and rang the gong. Barnum looked through the peep hole, saw who it was and opened the gate. No sooner had the milk man entered than Thaw galvanized into activity. With the spring of a panther he was through the gate. Just a short time before a laudulet had apparently broken down outside the asylum gate. The drived got down beneath the machine and was tinkering with it when the milk wagon drove up. As soon as the institution's gate opened the repairs apparently were made for the driver climbed into the machine and was just t about to start when Thaw bounded through the gate. Dashes Away In Auto. The fugitive jumped into the machine. The power was instantly turned
on and the machine sprang forward 'ed Mrs. Thaw. "I must have protecAbout a mile on. the landulet overtook ! tion every minute of my life.

Wm. Copley Thaw, at the hotel ( well and would meet her at ElmCresson, Pa. i two men drove up to the Lennox hotel which is a favorite stopping place for : tourists in that section of New Eng-; land. One man registered as W. B. i Ilolden of New York and the other as': P. H. Sims. They left at 6:30 this; morning traveling in the direction of' Pittsfield. Their car had the appearance of hard usage. Sims avoided oth-! er guests and refused to enter thodining room. Proprietor Stanley has' identified Sims as Harry Thaw. Bothf men left without eating breakfast, , Sims driving the car. At Dr. Holden'a office in New York it was said he ws! out of town taking a tour and was last' heard from near Saratoga. Dr. Holden's assistant denied thatj the doctor knew Harry Thaw. The news from Lennox dispelled the" belief, that Thaw had sailed from South Norwalk in a yacht and the authorities threw aside all clews and theories ex-" cept the Lennox trial. The district attorney has begun plans for the detention of Thaw lf( found in another state on the charge that he bribed employes at Matte! wan. the hotel. It was said, however, tha, -the steam Yacht Kathmar II, owned' by Robert F. Fowler of the New Ro-i chelle yacht club, had anchored ofi the South Norwalk. Conn., harbor yei terday morning and that this boat'i presence may have given rise to the theory .that Thaw went on board aj yacht at South Norwalk in flight to I a foreign land. '. Persons at Sooth Norwalk who weraj upon the beach daring the morning stuck to the story that a man answering Thaw's description had hastily gone cm board a yacht before noopand that it immediately sped away. Indicated No Excitement. Patrick Buckley, who was In charge' of the store room yesterday at Matte-' awan said that Thaw gave no indica-j tion of excitement. 1 "He came into the store room about' 7 o'clock." said Buckley. "He said 'Good morning, Mr. Buckley.' I replied J 'Good morning, Mr. Thaw, how do you feel this morning.' He walked among' the tables for a few minutes. His man-j ner was just the same as It had always been. He was perfectly calm. U did not Bee him escape.' Two Employes Saw Escape. In fact hut two employes of the In-J stitution did see Thaw gain his Uber-J ty. fchey were Keeper Barnnm and'. Mrs. James Maher, a laundress, who was in a high tower overlooking the exercising grounds and the roadway.! According to Mrs. Mahers story. ( two automobiles, one a touring cari and another a landulet, passed the hospital shortly after 7 o'clock. Thelandulet stopped in front ofy the gate while the big six cylinder car sped on to th foot cf Lowery's hill, almost amile beyond the hospital. There it! stopped and the doors on both aides, were opened for quick action. Mra. Maher kept her eyes on the machine' outside the gates. Although the driver! got out and began to tinker with the mechanism, the motor kept humming' and there were many loud explosions' from the exhaust. 1 Wm. Hie key's milk cart rumbled up to th gate whiletbe laundlet's motor; was humming and thumping Mrs. Maher said that as Thaw dashed through the gate he waved his arms and cried "Go, Go. "For God's sake. Go." Her Life in Danger. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, wife of the escaped lunatic, for whose love Thaw de' dared he shot and killed Stanford White, is playing at a theatre in this city and today she felt that her Ufa' will be in constant danger until Thaw is again apprehended. "He threatened to kill me and I know how remorseless he is," d?cl ir The only satisfactory method cf finding thaw, according to the police. Is to fix the identity of the men who were waiting for him outside the Institution with two autos. Something is known of these men. Ten days ago two men calling themselves Richard J.
