1 J V i onEiUO Tabernacle Will Be 208 Feet in Length and 110 in Width. A conference of the Committee of One Hundred, recently chosen of Richmond citizens to assume full charge of the mid-winter revival services, and the Rev. I. E. Honeywell, the evangelist selected to conduct the services, will be held tonight at 7:30 o'clock in Grace M. E. church, was announced by S. Edgar Nicholson, who heads the committee. The sub-committees will also attend the meeting. The coming evangelist is holding meetings at Troy, O., and as he conducts no Monday service he Is In a position to make the Journey to Richmond for the first conference? Twenty-fire Richmond men authorised the announcement that they would place their names on a note for $5,000 to finance the preliminaries of the campaign and erection of the large tabernacle. This action practically assures the holding of the services during the month of Jahuary. Many ugffestlona for the raising of the needed financial aid were made to the committee, but upon the action of the twenty-five men the other projects were abandoned. The tabernacle win be 208 feet in length and 110 feet In breadth. Its eating capacity Is estimated at 7,000. The plans, which will be submitted to the committee at a later date, Indicate that a large platform will be erected at one end of the building. It will be large enough to accommodate the speaker and a chorus of four hundred voices. Use Stove for Heating. At present there are a number of eld sheds on the rear of the church property and a force of men will begin to remove the buildings Wednesday. The committee desires the work to be done by roluntary labor if possible, but will have a number of competent contractors and carpenters assisting In the erection of the tabernacle. The lumber for the construction of the auditorium will be rented for the revival period. The building will be heated by means of stoves distributed at convenient places throughout. Rev. Mr. Isley, who is In charge of prayer meetings for the weeks preceding the meetings, reported that all districts would be organized this week. Already many meetings have been held, but not until the last few meetings has much interest been manifested. With the general announcement of the cottage sessions it is expected that more interest will be taken. Organize Workers. Several ministers told the committee that the personal workers committees were being organized and would be ready to assemble some time this week. Seventeen churches will have representatives on this body. To provide a place to keep children while their parents are attending the services was the purpose of a new committee which will consist of one woman from each church in the city. It is expected that the Friends church will be utilized for the temporary kindergarten. Announcements of the committee members have not been made public BURGLARS ENTER HOMES Ji OFFICES COottdnned from Page One.) Irarflacr soon. Other cases are being fenrestlgatted."

Patrolman Schroeder ahot at a man in the Pennsylvania railroad yards, who was attempting to break Into a box car. The man ran and the patrolman gave chase but was unable to effect a capture. With the Increase in the number of robberies In the city, and Indications that many more will occur because of the unusual number In other cities, Po- j lice Chief Gormon requests that citi sens take all precautions to prevent thieves from entering their homes and notify police headquarters of all suspicious characters. Doors and windows should be securely fastened. Asks Co-operation ' Gormon said he believed the peo- i pie should co-operate with the police ' who are doing everything in their I power to protect the citizens.

George Bracken, who was the victim of a Pen nsylvania railroad wreck at Cambridge City recently, according to the report of Coroner R. J. Pierce today. Dr. Pierce examined the body in the rooms of a Cambridge City undertaker shortly after it was taken from the wreck. He found many other injuries that might have caused his death. Both leg bones were fractured and the right thigh bone was broken. . His left eye was badly cut. The body was cut and bruised. tools. They were apparently frightened aVay, as the telephone was knocked to the floor and broken, and marks on the safe show that they had just started work. Marks on the windows where they tried to force entrance, and the broken lock of the wareroom door, show that heavy pointed instruments were used. South Side Robbery. A few evenings ago a man entered the home of William Geier, 732 South ;

Seventh street, through the rear door, ! agines. In fact in this year's distrtbuwhile Mrs. Geier was in the other J tion the checks will range from f 10.41 half of the double house with her sis- ! to $109.60. The club is divided Into

ter. Rummaging through the lower ; floor he got Mrs. Geier's pocketbook j containing small change amounting to j between $1 and $2. Frightened by a j baby crying in the other part of the ! house, the robber escaped by running , out the front door. A noise at the entrance to the chicken park at the rear of David Sherman's house, 723 South Seventh at 6 o'clock Saturday evening alarmed Mr. Sherman and his son. who got to the back of the lot in time to see a man running down the alley. Pick Hart'a Pockets. 'As he reached the alley between G and F streets on North Eighth last night, Robert Hart, 535 North D street, was stopped by two tall men, wearing soft hats, drawn over their eyes. One of the men knocked Hart's right arm above his head, and ordered him to hold his hand up. The other thrust a long revolver in his face and threatened to shoot, if Hart offered any resistance. While the taller of the two covered Hart, the other quickly went through his pockets, taking his bill fold and loose change amounting to ?12. They did not bother with his watch, ring and tiepin. Relieving him of his money they ordered Hart to move on, threatening to blow his brains out if he raised an outcry. Disappear in Alley. As Hart hurried down Eighth street the holdup men disappeared up the alley from which they had come. Hart is uncertain but believes they were white men. The mouth of the alley was dark, and the men with their hats shading their faces worked rapidly. At noon today no trace had been found of the men by the police. Burglar Belt Activity. Residents of the old "burglar belt", south of Main and east of Thirteenth street, are clamoring for increased police protection today, and a number of householders are "toting" large and formidable looking revolvers. Saturday night two ladders were placed against the rear of the home of Elwood McGuire, East Main street and an unsuccessful effort was made by thieves to "jimmy" into two or three windows. Other houses in the same section of the city were visited but no entrance was gained by the thieves. Flower thieves have also renewed operations in the "burglar belt" and Saturday night a thief dug up all the plants in front of the home of Charles Haner on South Fourteenth street, first breaking into his barn to secure a spade to do the work with. Women living in the "burglar belt" are very nervous and the male members of the households find It difficult to find plausible enough encuses to go down town after nightfall, and the

Bhaking a window or rattling a door almost causes a panic. Two Try Thia Job. When Harold Ball, son of W. E. Ball, who has charge of the Standard Oil company's office, went to feed the horses Sunday morning, he found the rear door of the wareroom open, two palings off the fence surrounding the yard, with tracks leading from the opening to the door. The soft ground bore imprints of two kinds of shoes, one with square toes, the other with long pointed toes. Two rear windows bore marks of a round-pointed tool which had been used to force them open. The window casings and frames were badly battered. They also tried to force a basement window. Failing to gain entrace through the windows they tried to work the lock of the wareroom door. They broke the lock, but had to break the steeple which held it in place before they could force the door open. Nothing in. the wareroom was disturbed. In the office drawers containing stamps and papers were taken from Mr. Ball's desk, but the thieves were apparently after money, and did not tane any or tne stamps or stamped envelopes Just above the combination of the safe a sharp instrument was used to cut the steel. A groove half an inch long and an eighth of an inch deep had I been started. In addition the enamel round the combination was broken and lines marked out to cut a square hole. None of the tools which were used in entering the office or in working on the sare was left behind. The broken telephone lying on the noor leads Mr. Ball to believe that jt ne thieves were frightened away by ' the night watchman at the Mather j coal yard, who passes through the alley near the office several times during the night. odoy rngniens surgiar.

MERCHANTS PROFIT

Holiday Checks to Depositors j Will Range From $10.41 to $109.60. Twenty-five hundred checks whose aggregate amount will total f 60,000 I will be mailed to as many patrons of ! j the Christmas Club of the First Na-1 ; tional Bank, sometime this week. Just a year has elapsed since the inaugura- J ! tion of the unique savings club and its success has been so manifest that a j large field will be covered next year. The club is founded on the princi ple that if a person saves a few cents each week that in a year's time the savings will be extremely large, in fact larger than the patron himself im different classes, some paying a week-! ly amount ranging from 5 to 25 cents j and others from 25 cents to $1. This ! club is in existence for fifty weeks and : the checks are distributed two weeks I before tne holiday season. Next year's club will start Decern-! ber 29. The field for the 1914 class will j be extended so that payments totaling : as high as $2.50 a week may be made. ! These payments will draw 3 per cent interest. Albert Feeger, who has ! charge of the department, reports that the membership of the club will be more than doubled this year as the success of the past twelve months has been an incentive to the patrons of the bank. The First National Bank has exclusive rights to the organization of the clubs in Wayne County as the system is controlled by a large corporation holding patents. IS Writes That Conditions in Madera, Mexico, Are Quiet Food Is Scarce. Local relatives of W. W. Grubbs, who is in Madera, Mexico, have received a letter from him dated November 16. In his letter Mr. Grubbs, whose home is in this city, stated that conditions in Madera were considerably improved, although business was at a standstill. He is employed by the Madera Lumber company, which is one of the properties of the great English Pearson syndicate, and of which H. I. Miller, a former Richmond man, is general manager. Mr. Grubbs said the former large American colony had now dwindled to twelve, all men. He also said that provisions are scarce and that a sugar famine had been lifted the day he was writing by the arrival of a motor car from ElPaso with a twenty-five-pound sack of sugar. Wires are Operated. The same day the first telegraphic communication Madera has had with the outside world since last May was resumed, the wire to Juarez being reopened. The first news received over this wire was the capture of that city by General Villa's Constitutionalists. Mr. Grubbs does not anticipate intervention by the United States govevnment, but expresses the hope that the embargo against the exportation of arms and ammunition from the the Huerta crumble. government will soon All railroad lines into Madera have been torn up and business can not be resumed until the railroads are opened again. He gave no intimation in his letter that the few Americans remaining in Madera were in any dan ger, but nearly all of them left the place several weeks ago and none of them are returning. CLERK ISSUES 1,031 LICENSES MONTH Record Set Up During November, Says George Matthews. During November 1,031 hunting licenses were obtained from the county clerk. The number issued during the month of November, 1912, was 531 which had been the record up to that time. Two non-resident hunting licenses were issued. The report that there are more rabbits this year is believed to be the cause of the large number of licenses taken out. It had been reported that the crop of quail was good this year, I but many hunters say this is untrue, Many say that the record of the past 'month will never again be equalled i because of the stringent hunting laws ! and the laree number of farmers who refused to allow nimrods to invade their land. There has been considerable trouble between farmers and huntsrs this vear and the msnir hna hear. 1 a general shutting down on privileges. ! START FREE DELIVERY fc.Al ON, O., Dec. 1.

( Forty-two paintings, which were exhibited in the local municipal art gal

lery in connection with the annual ex- j hibit of the Indiana Artists Associa- j tion, have been selected to be placed ' on the Indiana circuit. The work of selecting the pictures was completed by Mrs. H. B. Burnett, of Indianapolis, who, in the absence of Mrs. M. F. Johnston, has assumed charge of the state circuit. The paintings are being packed and the latter part of the week will be shipped to Columbia City, where the first of the series of exhibits will be held. About twenty Indiana cities are in the circuit. Kach city will have the exhibit two weeks. ' The selections consist of paintings ; by representative artists and is one of the best which has been made for a number of years. Mrs. Burnett is well known in Indianapolis and state art ! circles. She will accompany the ex- . hibit and lecture regarding the pictures. An Excellent Exhibit. This year's art exhibit, according to the opinion of many artists is one of the best in the history of the association. Since the opening of the exhibit in the public gallery a few weeks ago the gallery has been filled with art lovers, who came to view and discuss ! the work of the new school of Indiana j artists. Even during the past week a j large number of visitors were in attendance. The artists who will have their work in the circuit exhibit are J. Ottis Adams, Winifred B. Adams, Martlnus Andersen, George H. Baker, John E. Bundy, Charles Clawson, W. T. Eyden, Maude K. Eggemeyer, Edgar Forkner, Laura Fry. William Forsyth, Helen M. Goodwin, Emily G. Hyde, Joseph Krementz, Hollis Milleson, Dorothy Morlan, May Overbeck, Fred E. Pearce, Olive Rush, Otto Stark. T. C. Steele, Will Stevens. Clarence Staley, W. T. Turman, Clifton A. Wheeler, Lucy A. Wilson and Louis Zaring. A collection of steel,-zinc and cop-1 per etchings will be placed on exhibit at the public gallery sometime the latter part of this week or the early part of next. The collection will be arranged by Mrs. Paul Comstock, who will return soon from New York. William Dudley Foulke has consented to place an exhibit of foreign prints which he gathered while on one of his trips In Europe. This collection, which has never been placed on public exhibitkm, will be a big feature of the exhibit. Mrs. Maude Kaufman Eggemeyer and Frank J. Girardin, two Richmond artists, recently sent paintings to Cincinnati to be placed on exhibit with a collection of canvasses by middlewestern painters. These artists had their work at the local exhibit and received high honors. RUMELY COMPANY HAS GOOD FOOTING Secures Extension of Time On Its $10,000,000 Gold Note Issue. The financial footing of the M. Rumely company is perfectly securo, acording to the statement of an offical at LaPorte. issued when it became known that the company had extended the time on Its $10,000,000 five per cent gold note issue, falling due March 1, 1915. The note will be due in 1818. The notes were issued March 1, of this year. It is said in LaPorte financial circles that this move was made in order that the company can secure bank loans to carry on the regular business operations from month to : month. j The two year notes are convertible i into common stock at par. dating from September 1, of this year. They can be called at IOOV2 at any time, according to the terms of the Issue. The total outstanding stock of the company now is $20,90S,300, of which $10,908,300 is common and $10,000,000 is preferred stock. It is to be generally understood that the earnings of the present year will be unsatisfactory, but bankers of the company say they will stand behind the reorganized company until it shows a good profit and is able to stand alone. Stock was offered at 35 for preferred and 14 for common. The following statement was issued by an official of the company at LaPorte today: "It can be stated absolutely that M. Rumely company has no indebtedness of any character that it has not provided for. All indebtedness which the concern suffered from originally is being carried by bankers and directors of the company on terms agreed upon several months ago. The company has made payments to its bankers in the last few weeks and now has no paper outstanding apart from its main indebtedness." HUNTING KILLS 135 Sport Exacts Awful Toll in 1913 Season.

W. E. MOORE EXPLAINS

Says Weather Forecasting Will Never Become Perfect. For the last Bix days the weather man has been incljued to weep on the slightest provocation. So frequently has he yielded to the impulse and kept the sky dark with clouds that , Richmond citizens have become oppressed by the gloom. Optimistic persons are becoming pessimists, and pessimists are worse. I'mbrellas and . raincoats have become an indlspens-j able part of a citizen's outdoor equip-j ment. i Rains Six Days. Rain fell on the last six consecutive days, including yesterday. During thej month of November rain and snow fell j on seventeen days, tne total rainrau being 4.13 inches, and the total snowfall being 1.9 inches. The maximum temperature for November was 74, on November 22, and the minimum 14. on November 11. The greatest daily range for last month was 39, on November 12. In explanation of the relation of i "highs" and "lows" to weather fore-1 casting, W. E. Moore, made the fol-1 lowing statement today: j The word "high', as used in the daily weather summary, means an , area of high (heavy) air pressure with wind blowing outward from its center, and its approach brings a change to fair and cooler weather in the summer, or to fair and colder weather in autumn, winter and spring. "Low" Brings Rain. The word "low" means an area of low (light) air pressure with winds blowing inward and toward the center, and its approach brings warm weather, with usually rain in the summer months and rain or snow or both in the fall, winter and spring. Correct weather forecasting results from years of close study and understanding the probable direction and rate of movement of highs and lows across the northern hemisphere. In case a forecast is fulfilled a day or so later than was predicted, that means the highs and lows moved slower than usual, while if the predicted change in the weather comes ahead of time (which rarely happens) then the highs and lows are moving faster than usual. Absolute perfection in weather forecasting probably never will be realized as long as man is mortal, but close investigation and understanding of the terms used will show that the large majority of forecasts will prove successful. Forecasting Difficult. The control of the weather by the moon or planets still occasionally finds enough believers to support the publication of elaborate long-range weather predictions. As there are couched in general language and intended to be applicable to large areas of the country, it is not difficult to gather a number of verifications for them; but they are no better than the forgotten predictions of astrology of centuries ago. SMALL TOWN PAPERS ENJOY GREAT BOOM Metropolitan Sheets Fail to Show Increased Growth. WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. Further proof of the oft-reneated statement 'that the American public is the great est newspaper reading public in the world, developed today when the de partment of commerce issued a bulletin dealing with the printing and publishing industry of tne United States. In 1909 there were 31,445 separate establishments in the industry; 388,446 persons engaged In the industry, of which 258,434 were wage earners, and the capital invested amounted to $5SS,345,708. New York state lead all others in printing newspapers, periodicals and books. It employed onefourth of all the wage earners and sent forth three-tenths of the total products. Illinois ranked1 second and Pennsylvania third. Country Papers Grow. There were 2,600 daily publications reported in 1909, as compared with 2.452 in 1904 and 2,226 in 1899. Of these 2.600 dailies, 760 were morning papers and 1,840 afternoon or evening papers. The circulation of newspapers published in ten cities New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Boston. Cleveland. Baltimore, Pittsburg, Buffalo and San Francisco constituted 47 per cent of the total daily circulation of the entire country for 1909, as against S0.5 per cent In 1904. This change shows that the circulation of newspapers outside of the great centers of population has been increasing during the last few years more rapidly than that of papers in those centers. The circulation of the newspapers published !n New York city constituted 16.9 per cent of the total for all dailies in the country in 1909, as compared with 18.3 per cent In 1904. MEMBERS SHOULD RESPECT PASTOR j It is the duty cf the congregation ) to respect its pastor and accord him j the treatment due a spiritual father. I the Rev. Simpson told members of i j the A. M. E. church last night in a j sermon on the relation of the minister j ! and the members of his church. "It is the duty of the congregation j j to advise the minister in his work and i assist him at all times in his minis1 trations both those of joy and sor-! i row," he said. "The pastor on the ' I other hand has certain duties to per-1 j form." j "He should so conduct himself as to merit the re?pect and confidence of . his people. He should mix in all their ; affairs both temporal and spiritual. ' ' and give them the benefit of his advice and. council. .

The farm name recording system i devised by County Recorder Parsons has been adopted by the state board of accounts and Gilbert H. Hedren. state examiner has asked Mr. Parsons to furnish the board with a copy of the record he is having printed for use ,

in all counties of the state. Mr. Parsons may have the double alphabet index system copywrighted. Mr. Parsons returned from Indianapolis today where he has been for the last week He called on Recorder Joseph E. Turk of Marion county and consulted regarding the record. Turk was enthused over the system devised for this county. Mr. Hedren. state examiner, ordered an investigation of the record made by state experts and a report by them pronounced it ready for general use without alteration. Other counties in the state have been using other records for the recording of the farm names. A number of county recorders have been using the miscellaneous record. Wayne county is behind other counties in the number of farm homes recorded. The recorder at Kokomo. in Howard county reported that there were seventy-seven farm names reported. Only four applications for the recording of farm names have been received here by Recorder Parsons. ART CRITICISM BY ETHEL CRITZER. The picture called "Contentment." was painted by Joseph Krementz. This of a scene in the Lake country of Kng- , i-. , u : . 1 an ji . 11 uiutr 'i su rrii is ki a" ing along a narrow path while others have stopped to drink at a small brook. On both sides of this path are some large trees giving it the appearance of running through a wide lane. Through a small rift In the cloudy sky the sun is dimly showing, casting a nazj i.gni on tne sneep uw,nK 10 ine gloominess of the day the trees in the background have a dull gray color. and in places seem to merge Into the sky. The freshness of the grass and of the leaves on the trees gives one the impression that it is spring. When one looks at the picture he seems to forget where he is and imagines that he is there enjoying the same freedom and contentment that the sheep are instead of just looking at a picture.
