iMatter of Working Out Road Tax May Be Taken to Courts.

CHAMNESS TO COLLECT

Treasurer Says He Will Do As Instructed By the State Board.

An official decision on how to construe the road tax law baa ben received ' by Treasurer Chamness from the secjretary of the state board of accounts. '"The decisioa is directly contrary to the opinions expressed by local attorIneys and thj stats board of accounts iwill hold the treasurers responsible ifor all taxes except $20 which may be I worked out in each township. The attorneys here believed the law tallowed property owners to work out i $20 of taxes on the roads in each of the road taxing districts. If this decision wtre accepted, Treasurer Chamness says the railroad companies would derive more benefit from the law than the state legislature Intended. Wilfred Jessup, a prominent attorney In road affairs says the road district division for working out the taxes will be taken as the construction of the law here. "The state board of accounts is not i collecting the money here," said Attorney Jessup. "The decision handed down will not affect matters in this County and if they hold Mr. Chamness responsible for the tax money which is worked out in the road districts, the case will have to be fought out in the courts." Other attorneys hold the same views as Jessup, who says a hot fight is expected when the stat., board of accounts clashes with the county officials here. Chamness, however, claims that he will abide by the decision of the state board of accounts. "If I am held responsible for the money," said Chamness," I will collect it as I am instructed. The decisions are wildly different and make a difference of much money to many farmers as most of them have a chance to save a lot of money by working out $20 in each road district, while few could work out more than $20 if the township construction is placed on the law.

The council of the First English Lutheran church appointed Lee B. Nusbaum to act as delegate with Rev. Mr. E. G. Howard at the Olive Branch Lutheran Synod at Louisville, Ky., October 14, 15 and 16. Henry Siekman was appointed alternate. Delegates from the other Lutheran churches of the city were appointed last week. The synod allows as many laymen to act as delegates as there are ministers, thus giving the local Lutherans six delegates to the meetings. This city will have nothing to present to the synod, but will bring back accounts of the meetings to be read before the churches. John Klute, delegate from the St. Paul's English Lutheran church will be unable to attend and Ed. Deitemeyer, alternate, will accompany the Rev. Mr. Huber. The Rev. Mr. C. Raymond Isley and William Dietemeyer will attend as delegates from the Second English Lutheran church. The Lutheran Brotherhood will meet Monday and Tuesday preceding the synod meetings, and the local delegates will attend that brotherhood meetings also. A number of women will attend to-a Women's Missionary society meetings to be held in conjunction with the synod meetings.

WILSON ON WARPATH

LABOR LAWS ASKED BY GERMAHLLIANCE National Body Seeks Progressive Measures For Home Protection.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. For the first time in the history of the United States a newspaper editor was officially rebuked by the chief executive of the nation. President Wilson sent the following communication to the editor of the Washington Post: "Sir I am quoted in your issue this

! morning as saying that any one who ! does not support me is no Democrat

but a rebel. Of course I never said any such thing. It is contrary both to my thoughts and to my character, and I must ask you to give a very prominent place in your issue of tomorrow to this denial. Very truly yours, "WOODROW WILSON." President Wilson's demand for a retraction of this article shows that he has gone on the warpath over 'various newspaper reports that he was preparing to weed out of the Democratic party all who did not support him on the Glass-Owens currency bill.

The convention has adopted resolutions demanding a national eight hour day, old age pension, and workmen's compensation laws. The convention adopted a resolution requesting the German government to participate In the Panama-Pacific Exposition. The convention also urged all Germans in the United States to become naturallzI as soon as possible, and decided that hereafter only American citizens would be eligible to offlc in the German American Alliance. The legislative committee recommended several changes in the naturalization laws in order to make naturalization easier; recommended that a labor bureau be conducted by the United States to direst immigrants familiar with farming to American farms 0 and favored the installation of a rural credit system. Condemn Prohibition. The convention adopted a resolution condemning the attempt to secure an enactment of a national prohibition law. The resolution denounces as "utterly unworthy, the proud title 'American citizen, those who are attempting to coero th members of the Senate and H&'.'.:3 to lend their sanction to any scheme of pseudo-religious bigots and zealots to control the present acts of law-abiding citizens. At the conclusion of last night's banquet the following cablegram was sent to William II., empercr of Germany, and to Franz Josef II., emperor of Austria and apostolic king of Hungary. "The German of the United States, through their delegates, wish to thank your majesty, and through your majesty the whole German nation, for being represented at the centennial celebration. The affair has proved to be a great German demonstration and has united us in spirit with our brethren In the old fatherland." The message was BigM-;4: "The Executive Committee of th National German-American Allianme."

The establishment of the first penal farm in the state, will be taken up at the meeting of the Penal Farm commission in Indianapolis, October 13. No offers for a site have been sent from Wayne county although the commission has between 25 and 30 offers from other parts of the state. Dr. S. E. Smith, superintendent of Easthaven is president of the commission while the other three members are: Judge Willis Hlckam of Spencer, George A. Shidler of Marion and Captain W. H. Hart of Indianapolis. Dr. Smith today said the penal farm idea means a complete revolution of the jail system when carried out. WIH Reduce Expenditures. "It will cut out the evil element from the county jail," said Dr. Smith.

! "It will also reduce expenses and have

prisoner instead of giving him a chance to learn more crime. Short term prisoners convicted on statutory charges will be sent to the jail and only witnesses or persons sent to jail for default of fine will be detained in the county jail. Transportation of prisoners and other expenses connected with the proposed penal farm, have been figured and it was found that a large saving will be accomplished." Neither Wayne nor any of the surrounding counties offered sites for the farm although offers came from every other part of the state. Dr. Smith says none of the members of the commission have any idea of the site of the first farm although a few of the bids have been gone over. The counties will be permitted to submit offers until next Monday. The law creating the commission to take up the matter of the establishment of the penal farm system in Indiana was passed by the 1913 legislature. Members of the Richmond Commercial club were influential in obtaining its passage.

Inter urban Hits Auto; Woman Painfully Hurt

Before the affrighted gaze of a large number of persons at Main and Seventh streets yesterday afternoon, Mrs. J. M. Bachelor, wife of the dairyman, was knocked from an automobile and swept under an interurban car, narrowly escaping being cut to pieces. In order to avoid striking a crowd of persons at the street crossing, Mr. Bachelor, who was driving, stopped his machine with the front wheels on the car tracks, not noticing the approach of the interurban. When Mrs. Bachelor saw that the machine was about to be struck she leaped to her feet and was thrown

over the windshield by the Impact, which occurred before she could leave the car. She was thrown squarely between the tracks, but the wheels of the interurban did not run over her. Her injuries consisted of a fractured collar bone and many painful bruises. Mr. Bachelor kept his seat in the machine and escaped unhurt. The automobile was not badly damaged and Mrs. Bachelor was taken to her home in it a few minutes after the accident.

Although her injuries are painful they are not expected to be serious. Her condition today was such that the attending physicians felt warranted in saying her recovery will be rapid.
