AFFAIR IMPRESSIVE

Head of Indianapolis Diocese Congratulates Congregation. Sunday marked an epoch in the history of St. Mary's parish, when the beautiful new church at Eighth and North A etreet was dedicated. For many years the members of St. Mary's have made sacrifices that the event of yesterday could be a reality. Every detail in connection with the import-! ant event was looked after by the Rev. Father Cronin and the Rev. Father Duffy, assisted by committees and individuals selected for the work. The Right Rev. Father Joseph Chartrand, bishop of the Indianapolis diocese, conducted the impressive Catholic ritualistic dedicatory services, : assisted by the local and visiting clergy. The new edifice, which is considered one of the most beautiful in the state was decorated with palms and cut flowers. The procession, consisting of the bishop, clergy and about forty acolytes marched from the parish residence into the church, chanting the prayers prescribed for such occasions, sprinkling the exterior and interior with holy water, while the scent of the incense permeated the entire structure. Celebrate High Mass. Following this part of the ceremony the bishop, clergy and acolytes entered the sanctuary and prepared for the celebration of solemn high mass. Bishop Chartrand acted as celebrant, assisted by the Rev. F. A. Roell, of St. Andrew's church; Rev. Charles Ertel, secretay to Archbishop Moeller, of Cincinnati, deacpn; Rev. P. J. Hynes, of Hyde Park, Cincinnati, sub-deacon; Kev. Robert Conner, Glendale, O., deacon of honor; Rev. Father Hyland, of E?on, O., sjub-deacon of honor; Rev. Daniel Fitzgerald, Indianapolis and Rev. AloysiUs Duffy, assistant priest of St. Mary's, master of ceremony. Bishop Chartrand, who is regarded as one of the most learned of younger bishops in the United States, preached the dedicatory sermon, beginning by congratulating the pastor, the Rev. Father Walter Cronhu on the completion of the beautiful church. He algp congratulated Father Cronin's predecessor. Louds Churches' Work. In delivering the dedicatory sermon Bishop Chartrand declared that the Catholic religion had withstood the storms of many centuries, and said that it would continue to do so. "The Catholic religion is well preserved," said Bishop Chartrand. "Laws of states and countries may be amended or abrogated; Improvements may be made in methods of transportation; changes may be made in every other thing, but the Catholic religion, its forms and sacraments will remain the game forever. "The symbols which we use have their meaning. The priests, bishops and archbishops are merely representatives of God. Jesus Christ is above all. He is the God-Man, born of flesh. God selected Mary as His mother, so that he might come and be nearer mankind. v "When he comes again He will come Jn great glory. He will be clothed in flowing robes and not in torn raiment or tattered garments. There will be no thorns on His brow. His sides will not be pierced by a cruel cross." Musical Program.

Physical Fitness For Strenuous Work, Aim of New Executive.

Several men who are seeking appointments to city offices under the next administration have been circulating petitions which they plan to present to Mayor-elect Robbins. In a most emphatic manner, Mr. Robbins today expressed his disapproval of such procedure in making application for appointments. "Such petitions rarely count for much" he said. "Many people sign them because it would be embarrassing for them not to do so. People who have signed petitions have tele phoned to me that they were not in favor of men whose pleas for appointment they had signed." He concluded with the statement that he would give petitions little consideration. A number of citizens have spoken to Mayor-elect Robbins about the desirability of not including the city judgeship as one of. the duties of the mayor, pointing out that the city court is now a very Important one and that its bench should be occupied by a man versed in the law. Will Do the Work. To all of them Mr. Robbins has pointed out that the 1914 budget, prepared last September, has made no provision for the salary of a city judge and that, in consequence, he will be required to perform this work. "I am not familiar with the law and I know it would he a good thing to have some lawyer to preside over the city court but I have no option but to perform this work," he said today. Mr. Robbins took occasion today to comment on the efficiency of the Rich mond fire department, but expressed the opinion that there was the opportunity to still further increase its efficiency. "The firemen do not receive ' the proper physical training for' their work," he said. "In the army soldiers who are kept in barracks are kept in fit physical condition for active service by constant training. Firemen also should be required to take certain amount of exercise so that they will be physically fit to perform their duties, which require great exertion, when, called, upon. I have been told that some of the men in our department become exhausted after two hours' work. That condition of affairs can be remedied easily. I also am in favor of regular fire drills for the department." DENNIS WILL GIVE LECTOREiPiAMA Earlham College Professor to Tell of Advantages of New Canal. A good sized crowd is expected to attend the open meeting of the Commercial club this evening to hear Prof. D. W. Dennis give an illustrated lecture on Panama. The business of the meeting consisting of hearing the report of the committee in charge of the annual banquet of the club and a few announcements will be rushed through with the utmost dispatch, so that 'Prof. Dennis may begin his lecture shortly after 9 o'clock. GILLILAN UNABLE TO ATTEND EVENT Strickland W. Gillilan, the former Richmond boy, who has attained fame as a writer and a lecturer, will not be present at the Commercial Club banquet. The committee in charge of arrangements has received a letter from him stating that he has agreed to deliver a lecture in a small town in New Jersey on the evening of the banquet. Nesbit, Gillilan and Kin Hubbard were speakers at a banquet at Indianapolis Saturday evening. MAMA'S BOY FORCED TO ANSWER CALL Although claiming to be forty years old and his "own boss," Walter Pierson, colored, was sent to Chicago today on a ticket furnished by his mother. Pierson's mother, who lives in Chicago, sent a ticket to the local Pennsylvania station the first of last week, which she instructed her son to use. He refused, but when taken before the mayor in police court promised to use the ticket and leave the city on the first train. WEATHER FORECAST STATE Continued cold tonight and Tuesday.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 10. General Huerta's statement to the diplomatic corps in Mexico Cky, declaring he will remain in office until new elections are held, was received .by the state department today from acting ambassador O'Shaunessy. Secretary Bryan admitted that it was, '"correctly, stated in the press dispatches," as carried by the press dispatches, Huerta's statement is a direct defiance of the American demand that he resign. President Wilson admitted to callers at the white house today that the Mexican situation is grave. No immediate action is expected from the administration, however. The .president neither has written a message to congress on Mexican affairs, nor has any present intention of writing one, he told his callers. Troops Are Moving. United States troops are moving toward the Mexican border today. They are sent ostensibly for border patrol duty, but it is expected even by most optimistic government officials that they will see duty in Mexico before they return. The war department announced that the Fifteenth cavalry left Ft. Meyer, Ft. Leavenworth and Ft. Sheridan, Chicago, this morning. While war department officials laid special stress on the statement that this movement has nothing to do with possible intervention. It was admitted that the main reason for the transfer of the Fifteenth cavalry is to give the United States a force sufficient to ac ASKS PERMANENT u TRAINING SCHOOL In the interests of the movement to establish a permanent Y.

O'SHAUGHNESSY TO LEAVE. Charge d'Affairs and Lind Prepare to Quit Mexico. MEXICO CITY, Nov. 10. Diplomatic relations between the United States and Mexico are so near the breaking point that arrangements are being made for charge d'affaires O'Shaughnessy and special envoy John Lind to leave the country. When the American embassy is closed. Its affairs will be turned over to the Norwegian minister. ' s, ,. War preparations are being rushed by the Mexican government with all possible speed. General Huerta is still playing for time and is likley to delay for some time his formal reply to the United States demand that he retire irom office. Will ot Answer Note. The statement Issued to the diplomatic corps here, however, leaves no further doubt as to his attitude. It Is within the bounds of possibility that he will never answer the United States at all, but the American government will bring all negotiations summarily to an end. Reports that the United States would lift the 'embargo on arms for the Constitutionalists has caused a feeling akin to bani5 here. The belief is general that if Washington took such action there would be a reign of bloodshed throughout Mexico and no foreigner would be safe. REFUSE BIDS The appropriation for the light plant for the County poor farm will be increased from $1,400 to $2,000 and bids for the plant will be re-advertised for. This decision was reached by the county commissioners after it was found that none of the bids received Saturday were satisfactory. Electrical men who submitted bids, met with the commissioners and gave suggestions as to changes which should be made in the plans. The plant will have a capacity of 120 lights under the new plans. Bids will be received in December. The commissioners will receive bids on the Haas and Barton concrete and brick roads next Saturday. FIRST RIDE FATAL LOUISVILLE, Ky..

by the public utilities commission Having received this information from G. K. Jefferies. general superintendent of the company, Alexander Gordon called a meeting of the Richmond strikers in bis office at 7:30 o'clock Saturday evening. Upon hearing the message from Mr. Jefferies, the men, after some hesitation, agreed to return to their duties. Two of the men refused to vote in favor of such action wnen tne question was put to a vote, but all the men had returned to duty this morning with the exception of one man who was detained at home by sickness in his family. Jefferies to See Men. Mr. Jefferies agreed to receive a committee of Richmond motormen and conductors to go over the local situation with them as soon as affairs are . in n 9 Inlintinnnll Ha w a v'-! "l ru iuoi ue kuuiu t-Ainiu lutriu a if ium tation to call upon hira as soon as he could be in a position to talk over the matter with him. Some of the men were in favor of having Mr. Jefferies come to Rich! mond. but agreed to send their committee to Indianapolis, providing Superintendent Gordon promised to accompany the committee. This the superintendent promised to do. Whatever may be the outcome of this conference, there will be no recognition of the union by the local offices of the company, according to Mr. Gordon. While it is an assured fact that such a union will be consummated, there is little probability that it will receive recognition from the company. During the time that traffic was Ued up or hindered by the strike, the T. H.. I & E. company suffered a loss of approximately $200 In this city, according to igures given out today from the offices of the company. The cars did not run Friday, and the receipts of the company on Saturday fell far below normal for that day. while the Sunday receipts were also affected slightly. Service Now Normal. The car service is now normal, the difficulties between the company and !the men are settled, or at least tem porarily buried, and things are moving along with the same conductors and motormen who were on duty before the walkout. True to their promises, the strikers conducted their campaign for an increase in pay without violence. In only one case was there any attempt at violence reported. This was on Saturday evening when a drunken man hurled a beer bottle at a conductor whojhad left his car at the C. & O. crossing. A report was sent to headquarters Saturday evening that the trolley wire had been cut near the viaduct on Sheridan street. An investigation today showed that it had broken loose from Its fastening. Ellsworth Bass, who was largely lnstrumental in calling the strike, today refused to discuss the settlement further than to say he hs satisfied with the outcome.

FOX IS A CANDIDATE

Howard Brooks Enters list as Aspirant for Job of Auditor. Candidates for the Progressive nominations for various county offices are coming into the poltlcal limelight to build their political fences. On November 4, 1914. there will be a general county election to fill the offices of circuit judge, circuit court clerk, auditor, assessor, sheriff, prosecutor, treasurer, two commissionerships and coroner. In all townships the offices of trustee and assessor mill also be filled. Judge Henry C. Vox of the Wayne circuit court, who will have completed his eighteenth year on that bench December 31. 1914. has decided to make the race for re-election despite his " years, which he still bears lightly. Judge Fox has always been an ardent Republican but receutly he has shown lrogressive tendencies and his friends would not be surprised if he would seek the Bull Moose nomination. However. Judge Fox has reached no decision on that matter. Bond Wants Judgeship. It is generally understood that William A. Bond, city attorney for Richmond and a candidate on the Progressive ticket last fall for Judge of the supreme court, will announce his candidacy for the Progressive nomination for circuit judge, probably being the only opponent to Indiana's oldest active jurist. Under the rules of the Progressive state organization, precinct meetings must he held all over the county the second Tuesday in January for the purpose of electing precinct committeemen. These committeemen will then meet the following Saturday and elect a county chairman, vice chairman, secretary and treasurer. The present county chairman. Will J. Robbins. will not be a candidate for reelection because he assumes the office of mayor of this city January 1. Howard Brooks, present secretary of the county organization, will not be a can dldate for re-election to that office for Brooks will be one of the candidates for nomination as auditor. So far there have been no announcements of candidacies for Progressive county chairman and secretary. These very important offices, which have been so ably administered by Mr. Robbins and Mr. Brooks, will receive much consideration from Progressive workers. To Confer On Primary Date. Retiring county secretary Brooks' stated today that he would probably issue a call for all candidates seeking Progressive nominations for county offices to meet in a few days and conciHor Ka Hofh fn V s-il Ai tw 4ftA DAanAa. r. t Brookj! favo8 boding thig prjmary ,., . K.. Vil early in February, so that there will be no need of a long campaign. ' Already there is quite a field for the Progressive nomination for county clerk. Those so far entered are Charles Potter, Lucius Harrison, Kilmore Riggs and Frank Roberts. All reside in Richmond and there probably will be more entries from the county outside Richmond. The term of county clerk is four years and Clerk George Matthews' term expires December 31, 1914. PreI fedent prohibits any clerk from srr ing more than one term. When Mr. Matthews was asked today if he would seek re-election he said he had given the question no consideration. Candidates For Auditor. For auditor Howard Brooks has formally announced his candidacy. Al-" bert Morel, who was defeated for the Republican nomination by the present Incumbent of the office. Louis Bowman, is seriously considering opposing Brooks In this race. Bowman is not a candidate for reelection, for political precedent does not permit of a man serving more than one term in a four years office. Although Bowman's successor is eletcc4 next fall Bowman's term will not expire until December 31. 1915. It is reported that Claude Keever. trustee of New Garden township and one of the most active Progressive leaders in northern Wayne county, la also considering making the race for auditor, but may decide to seek the nomination for clerk. So far as known there is only one candidate at the present time for the office of county assessor. James Ho warth. who is now serving as trustee of Wayne township. The present incumbent for the of sheriff, respectively. Will Reller. fice of prosecuting attorney, treasurer Albert Chamness and Jacob Bayer. will seek renominatlons on the Pro gressive ticket and undoubtedly will have no opposition, for the terms of these three officers are only two years each, and each one is now serving his first term.

Two of the three members of the board of county commissioners will be elected next falL The first of this year Robert Beeson, who servtd two terms as commissioner from the Western district, retires and will be succeeded by Mordecai Doddridge. Barney Linderman. commissioner from the middle district, will complete his second term December 31, 1914, and Albert Anderson, commissioner from the eastern district, win complete his first term December 31. 1915. It will be necessary to elect commissioners from the middle and eastern districts next fall. Anderson will be a candidate for nomination on the Progressive ticket from the eastern district but it is not known who the can(Continued on Pas Three)
