WAYNE CORN CROP ONE JMTHE BEST

1CLldICB JL U1UUC LiAICi iH. Douglas, in Addresses to County Farmers. Morris Douglas, Purdue represenratlve and scientific agricultural expert , now conducting a eeries of lectures in Wayne county stated this morning that Wayne county was one of the few counties in Indiana which would have a good corn crop. "The average yield per acre in Indiana ordinarily is thir- , ty-nine bushels," said Douglas. "The average yield 1 nthe state this year will not be moro than twenty-four ' bushels. In Wayne county the yield will probably be as high as forty bush- . els per acre." In addition to A. D. Cobb, county ' agent, and Mr. Douglas, W. W. Sylvester, graduate of Illinois and Purdue universities, attended the meeting held today on the farms of Frank Underbill near Greensfork, and fl. B. Macey, near Economy. Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock a meeting will be held at Oscar Fulghum's farm on the National road, two miles west of the city and in the afternoon at two o'clock a meeting will be at the farm of W. P. Hunnicutt near Cambridge City. Special arrangements have been made by Samuel Harlan of Beeson's Station for addresses to be made there Friday afternoon. PLAYS WITH FIRE The meeting at the Chautauqua was almost broken up this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock when the little son of J W. Outland came running into the au ditorium and told his father that their tent on Maple avenue was burning. Mr. Outland and a number of the men sitting near him rushed from the auditorium, but the fire was beyond control when they reached the tent. The tent and all its contents, consisting of furniture, beds and clothing were destroyed. The effective work of the i men prevented neighboring tents from catching. The little Outland boy, who is three years old, had been playing with coal oil and matches. The child was not burned when the fire started, although badly frightened. RUSSELL LECTURES PROVE POPULAR AT THE CHAUTAUQUA Prof. Elbert Russell Is becoming more and more popular as a lecturer and a large crowd heard his lecture on the "Hebrew Lyric" at. the Chautauqua this morning. He said "The lyric poem is intended to be sung and in the Hebrew is midway between the narrative form of the epic and the presentation of the drama. It is essentially inward and deals with sentiment and reflection, but does not picture emotion. It may Include narrative but it is usually expressed by the memory in the course of the reflections. The lyric is musings or reflections, permeated with sentiment. It expresses both subtle and emotional feelings, and contains all that is most beautiful and indefinable in literature." FUNERAL SERVICES OF BRAZIL CLARK The funeral services of Brazil W. Clark, 72, who died at his home in Economy yesterday morning ,will be held at 1 o'clock Thursday afternoon at' the Friends church at that place with burial in the Springfield cemetery. The announcement in yesterday'8 publication that the services would be held at ten o'clock was a mistake.

Judge Globensky announced that he would take the case under advisement until that hour in order to consult the authorities. There was a tremendous demonstration in the court room in Thaw's favor when Councilor Jacobs, in behalf of the Canadian government, began his opening arguments, opposing the withdrawal of Thaw's petition for a writ of habeas corpus. "Let him go" and "give him Justice," shouted the spectators. The same demonstrations occurred earlier while Thaw was being taken from the jail to the court house. Men and women followed the automobile and blockadade the streets. "They can't get you, Harry," the crowd cried. City Statistics Deaths and Funerals.

FOX WOULD PREFER A PRISOITTO ARMY Attacked by Army Officers . .On a Misrepresented . . Ruling He Made. Thos. T. Ryan, recruiting officer, and captain of cavalry, stationed at Indianapolis, unjustly scored Judge Henry C. Fox, his friends say. for what was reported to be Judge Fox's decision in the case of Donald Davis, 21, sentenced to the penitentiary from one to fourteen years for grand larceny. It was reported from authentic sources of news that Davis was given the opportunity of joining the U. S. Army or going to the penitentiary. Prosecutor Keller stated that he was willing for the defendant to join the army if the local recruiting officer would accept him. He said he would lie willing to give the defendant this opportunity to make good. Judge Fox was not consulted about the matter as Prosecutor Keller and Davis' attorney were unsuccessful in their attempt to have him accepted by the local recruiting officer. It was reported that Davis was given his choice between the prison and the army by Judge Fox and the prisoner went to prison in preference. Judge Fox Makes Reply. In reply to a scathing denunciation of the supposed decision of the court Judge Fox said. "I don't need any re

cruiting officer to tend to my business here. I know more about the army than he does, because I have been in it and seen service lige he never will see. Had I been Davis I would have rather gone to the penitentiary than to have Joined the regular army." Referring to Judge Fox's reported offer to Davis. Captain Ryan said: "If the article is correct and Judge Fox was unpatriotic enoussh to offer this man his choice between the reformatory and the army he certainly exceeded his power, as there is no court in the Fnited States or elsewhere which has the authority to place

i any man in the army, much less crimij nals. t "It seems a shame that some of our intellectual anil enlichtened citizens i holding high and responsible positions : of trust should so far forget their patriotism to the extent of trying to degrade the service of the Fnited States and heap insults upon the men now in i that service."
