OFFICERS' CONDUCT sPELmpmon New Police Commissioners Promise Every Patrolman Fair Chance.

Memboi s : , .: r.e .v metropolitan police " Vid their first regular seesion .ening and considered i.; r .,, .i of ull the members of the poKce department but adjourned without taking any actlom on them. In consequence a number of policemen, especially the older ones, still occupied places on the anxious seat ttday, -wondering -whether they are to be marked out as victims of the official axe. All of the guardians of the peace, however, were cheered up considerably, especially the veterans, by a statement made by Mayor Robbins. I'e declared that no hasty action on the question of changes of the personnel of the department was contemplated b ythe board and that especial Plated by the board and that especial er members of the force, who have excellent records as officers. Use Own Judgment "Before the board met last night." sr.id Mayor Robbins, "I advised the members to go slow in making any charges in the department, and if any changes are made it will be on their initiative alone. 1 will not interfere with, the board in any respect. Their actions will be dictated by their judgment alone. "Unlike many cities Richmond has r.o pension fund for its veteran police officers and to turn them out of their positions without just cause and so long as they are able to properly perform their work, would be very un-j-ist. Especial consideration will be shown these men. If any changes are made such men as the board decides to drop j-om the payroll will be given every opportunity to secure a new position before their services are dispensed with." . The board of police commissioners i; was announced, will make a very careful investigation or the records of ?ho patrolmen and will not be prepared to act on any resignations until these investigations nave been completed.

HONEYWELL "I am engaged In too big e business to come down," remarked Evangelist Honeywell when asked if he had any statement to make in retaliation to the statement made by the Rev. A. J. Feeger, of the St. John's Lutheran church. The evangelist when Interviewed at hit Richmond headquarters intimated that he had no time to spend quarreling with one Richmond minister when there were seventeen others he was engaged in helping when he, Honeywell, also was of the opinion that the one minister was attempting to get Into the limelight.

CLUB MEETS TONIGHT!

Farmers to Hear Talk Short Course. To stimulate. Interest in the Purdue I short course at Lafayette next week, the meeting of the Columbian Far-1 mers club has been called for tonight i instead of next Thursday night. Agent .' 1 A. D. Cobb will urge that everyone j who can make arrangements to join ; the Wayne county delegation. As members of the farmers' asso-! elation were not prepared for the early meeting, the women will give the progTam of the home economics class. The economics clasp, which is the ladieB' auxiliary of the farmers' association, will pass on a constitution which will be presented by a committee of three. After the business session, the following program will be carried out: History of Cooking .... Mrs. Pylei Reasons For Cooking Mrs. Norris Methods of Cooking Mrs. Young Classification of Foods Mrs. Cobb Round Table The Left Over Baked Potato. OCTOGENARIAN DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS Mrs. Charity Nichols, of Cen terville. Answers to Call Beyond. CBN TERVILLE, Ind., Jan. S. Another Wayne county pioneer, Mrs. Charity Nichols, 80, died at her home here, Wednesday at noon, following several weeks' illness. She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. George Roby, Cambridge City; Mrs. Sarah Smith, Mnncle; two sons Harry Huscon, of Kfflngham, Illinois, and William Huscon, Decatur, Illinois. The funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Christian church. The Rev. George Clark. Indianapolis, and Rev C. H. Chamness will have charge of the services. Interment will be in the Centerville cemetery. WHAT'S IN A NAME? Similarity of names has grown common since the new administration took office. One of Mayor Robbins' first cases was to hear charges against Will I. Robbins for carrying concealed weapons. It now appears that others than Police Chief Harry Goodwin bear that name. The bum register on which wayfarers are required to sign their names before being allowed to sleep in the basement of the city hall, shows that a bum who signed himself, Harry D. Goodwin, slept there last night. HITS "FAKE" CURES INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 8. A "hair i dye" and a "hair restorer" are not the same thing according to the state board of health, and a campaign of state-wide scope has Just been inaugurated against manufacturers and distributers of patent medicines and remedies who resort to alleged "fake" advertising under a law passed by the last Indiana General Assembly. The first suit instituted was that of Mrs. Mary K Phelan, of Indianapolis, who was charged with advertising a "hair restorer" which was in reality only a "hair dye." A chemist or tne heaifn board analyzed the preparation and reported that it contained a large percentage of nitrate of silver, which would not restore hair, but would change its color. Mrs. Phelan admitted that her remedy would not "restore" hair, but claimed that she advertised it as a hair "restorer" because nearly all hair "dyes" are called "restorers." Judgment was withheld, but the campaign against fake advertising will go forward. FOR SAFETY'S SAKE To prevent police court spectators and hangers-on from getting in the way in the front office at police headquarters. Chief Goodwin has asked the board of works to make changes i in the partition.

CONTRACTOR OBTAINS

!PART OF MONEY DUE Commissioners Agree to Make Partial Settlement to Hipskind. Part payment will be made to John Hipskind on the balance due him by the county on the Liberty pike contract, according to a declaicn of the county commissioners yesterday. The last payment has been withheld pending an appeal of the suit of Hipskind versus the board of commissioners, to decide who should bear the cost of repairing the $1,500 washout of the road below Beelor's hill. Jndgrt Smith, of Portland, decided against the commissioners recently, giving a decision for 88,565 for Hip skind. The contractor asked a payment of ?7,C0'0, offering to leave standing the amount required to repair the washout, should the commissioners appeal the case. Hipskind says he does not object to the commissioners appealing the case as h is confident the decision in bis favor will be upheld. However, he entered a strenuous complaint against the fact that the county has more than ?8,000 due him, while he is paying interest on the money and maintaining a bond of $86,000 besides. After what threatened to end in a wrangle, an amicable understanding was reached and Saturday the commissioners will render their decision on what amount of money the county shall pay Hipskind and the amount of bond he will be required to give tc cover the damages in the Liberty pike washout. T FOUND DEAD IN BED Timothy McNamara, 68, for more than forty years an employe of the Pennsylvania railroad, was found dead in his bed this morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Argus Horr, 238 Randolph street.

"Any education that is worthy of the name will make the pereon receiv ing it above all an agreeable compan- j ion for himself," said H. L. Haywood, ' editorial writer for The Faliadium, m speaking before the students of Earlham College on the various functions of education, and of the different relations for which it must prepare th student. "The fact that with out education comes the ability to be a satisfactory comrade for our own selves Justifies many of the seemingly impractical branches of learning. Such studies are of inestimable value if they only so culture your Inner self that you can spend time alone, can sever for a time your relationship with the world, and not be bored with your own company." "In connection with the ability to be an agreeable associate for yourself, I think every person should be a competent caretaker of his own body," continued the speaker. "It is not until the man gets out into the world that he realizes the full significance of a strong body. We Americans are supremely ignorant of the simplest laws of health." "The second relationship for which your education should prepare you is with your family. I believe that every man should be a bread winner and ev ery woman a bread baker. The man that comes out of college without the ability to make a living, to support a family, has failed and Is still uneducated man." "Our third relationship for which we get our education is to society. Many of our educated men are bo unconcern ed and uninterested in the conditions I of our country. We are suffering at 1 of good men. NOT PLANT PATRONS That only fifteen per cent, of the Main street business men were pa

He also said that when the engines at the plant were carrying the "peak" of their load and were suddenly called up to carry an additional load, such as emergency cases, it worked great hardship to the engines. He said he would not favor a duplicate service for any business house unless a liberal minimum charge was paid ot the city plant monthly for its readiness to provide service. A representative or a luminous arc light company appeared before the board this afternoon. No action on the lighting question will be taken by the board, however, for some time. FRY NOT ASPIRANT Roy C. Fry Is not a candidate for the office of county chairman subject to the pleasure of the Progressive party, he announced today.

FINDS WEAKNESS IN SIGNAL LIGHT CMef Goodwin Wants New Device Attached to Police Call System.

The flash light signal system used by tne police department has one weakness, accoraing to Chief Goodwin which is the Inability to tell from what box a patrolman reports other than as he gives the number On each district or beat there are three boxes from which the patrolman may report but the officer on thu desk can not tell from what box the report comes from except by the number which the reporting patrolman gives. Otherwise the new chief has nothing but praise for the sys tem which is the idea of his prede- j cessor. An automatic device which would register the box number from which , the report comes would make tho sys tern ierfect. Chief Goodwin believes. He has asked the telephone company officials if such a device can be connected with the present switchboard, j Officials are working on a plan. Regarding the redistricting of thepatrolmen.

FIRE FIGHTERS WRITE RESIGNATIONS Most of the members of the fire department are considerably wrought up over the action of the board of public works in calling for the resignations of all firemen, together with their applications for reappointment. It is openly charged that this ac - tion was taken by the board for the purpose of dispensing with the services of two members of the department. The board has not specified whether the resignations shall be dated, but most of the blaze fighters declare they Intend to do so, not being .willing to take the chance of their resignations designate themselves Progressives than Democrats, the fire fighters are wondering today if some of the Progressive members will not have to draw their releases.
