CONVERTS TWENTY DESPITE, HE SAYS, AUDIEK APATHY Evangelist Honeywell Delivers Sermon on "How Is Your Family.

WARMTH OF FEELING PLEA OF REVIVALIST Criticises Young Men of This City for Apparent Indifference. With an auuience of about three thousand people before him, including a delegation front the Reliance foundry. Evangelist Honeywell preached last night on "How is Your Family?" He spoke with his usual vigor and llery earnestness, but the apathy of the audience, as the evangelist himself characterized it, was such that only twenty converts went to the front. Of these three or four were Christians who had not been satisfied with their previous religious experience. "Oh, when will you Christian people wake up?" cried the Rev. Mr. Honeywell, as he noted the listlessness and apparent indifference of the Christian people in the chorus and the audience. "You people haven't been on your knees in prayer wrestling with God. You are not doing your personal work tonight as well as you did last night. You know, God knows, and I know there is not the earnestness in prayer, the full consecration there should be. You people that haven't gotten cold feet, get out into the crowd and get somebody by the hand and bring them op here. Source of Discourse. His text from II Kings iv:26 was, "Is it well with thee? Is it well with thy husband? Is it well with thy child?" "I am greatly indebted," said the evangelist, "to four great preachers Billy Sunday, Dr. Chapman, Gypsy Smith and R. A. Torrey. It was from Dr. Chapman's remarkable sermon that I got the suggestion for this sermon tonight. I desire to express my obligation to him." Ho then told the story of his text, how the son of a Shumanite woman (She had looked upon Elisha as a man of God and had prepared a little room for htm when he would chance to travel that way) had been stricken tfoww fey the eun while working in the harvest field, and how the woman had gon post haste to seek the prophet, and then how when he saw her coming, Elisha ran forward and cried to her,. 'Is it well with thee? Is it well with thy husband? Is it well with thy child?" Teaches Prayer. "God gave us this story," declared the evangelist, "that it might teach ns, first of all, the great lesson of importunity in prayer. O for men and women in Richmond who know how to pray! If you would get down on your knees and go to work, it wouldn't take long to pray this old town into the kingdom. "I would like to make this message bo plain that no one can truthfully go away and say, 'Well, the evangelist was discussing something I did not understand.' I would like to make it so personal that no one can go away and Bay, 'Well, it was not intended for me'. (Continued on Page Eight.)

SECOND TIDAL WAVE SWEEPSJAP COAST Kumamoto Records Deaths of Thousands in New Disaster.

VOLCANO IS ACTIVE Flames Shoot 5,000 Feet Above Mouth of Seething Crater. NAGASAKI, Japan, Jan. 15. The second tidal wave, caused by renewed activity of the volcano Sagura-Jima, swept the coast of the Island of Klushua at Kumamoto today, bringing a fresh toll of death In the aeries of calamities which are overwhelming the Japanese empire. Washed up by the earthquake shocks ; which, are accompanying the violent eruption of Skura-Jima, an irresistible wall of water rolled over the harbor works at Kumamoto, sinking ships and quays and destroying part of the city. Kumamoto had a population of 60,000, many thousands of whom are dead, missing and homeless. A wireless dispatch from a Japanese warship in Kagoshima bay said that the west side of the Sakuri-Jima volcano burst early today, throwing molten lava for miles into the bay. The mountain is now a fiery furnace, with ; flames and smoke billowing for 5,000 above the seething center. The blowing off of the mountain's cap was accompanied by more severe earthquake shocks than had previously been left in Satsuma province. The waters of the bay became so turbulent from the subterranean disturbance that the relief Bhips had to withdraw from the vicinity of Sumura Islands. More than 13,000 homes have been destroyed, it was estimated today. Of the 1,300 refugees many are missing. Great fissures opened in the earth in the district north of Magoshima, where hordes of homeless had taken refuge. OFFICIALS PREPARE TO CHOP EXPENSES Public Improvement Fund Amounts to Only $15,000, Bavis Says. CITY TO OIL STREETS "We must cut expenses to the cloth," was the emphatic declaration of President Bavis of the board of public works again made at today's board session. This statement was brought out when the consideration of several proposed improvements were brought to the attention of the board by City Engineer Charles. The public improvement fund, including $3,000 for the widening of North Third street, amounts to only $15,000, and Mr. Bavis pointed out the necessity of conserving it to the extent mat every penny spent would be for the most general good It is the opinion of the board that the proposed widening of North Third street can be postponed this year, and the improvement fund has been spared the expenditure of about $6,100 by remonstrances filed against the paving of Main street from Fourth Rtrpet bridge, and the paving of two blocks on North Tenth street, north oi uie railroad. May Defeat Improvement. The proposed improvement of South D street may be defeated because half of the assessed valuation of the property on the street will not qual half of the cost of the improvement. Much time was devoted to the question of street oiling. Under the state law petitions may be filed for the oiling of streets under the same terms applying of petitions for other street improvements. Last year the city entered into a contract with W. E. -Jtones of New Paris to oil all streets when- petitions for oiling were acted; on JavoraBIy by the board. Under this contract,, however, the "city assumed. np responsibilities, the property owners paying for the oiling of - intersections, and the contractor being obliged to collect all assessments. Oil Question Bothersome. Officials at the board meeting agreed that the oiling question was one ot the most bothersome which confronted the city last year, and it was the general opinion that plans for street oiling be agreed upon without further waste of time. It is probable that the city will enter into a contract with some reliable person for the oiling of streets petitioned for, the city to pay for all intersections and assume the responsibiliy of collecting assessments. City Attorney Bond held that such assessments were liens against affected property, and he said that if action was brought against a few property owners who refused to pay such assessments the difficulty experienced in this respect last year would be eliminated. ,.;-)--:.; - The contract entered into between me cuy ana rjamuna watts, ..fliy-j draulic engineer, was approved. ; '.1 will go to council for ratification with an ordinance appropriating between five and six hundred dollars to meet Watts' salary, $25 a day, and expenses.

FOUND DYING NEAR CINCINNATI HOME Fred Bateman, Former Entre Nous Player, Meets Death.

Fred Bateman, formerly shortstop on the old Entre Nous baseball team, recently connected with a Cincinnati newspaper, died under such mysterious circumstances In that city Tuesday at midnight that a post mortem examination of the body has been ordered. Bateman was found In a dying condition on the sidewalk in front of his home.' Although his death probably was caused by heart disease, bruises about his face and knee prompted the coroner to order an examination. Mrs. Ayers, of Nine Mile, O., who is visiting at the home of Attorney James Jordan, who 'lives across the street from the Bateman home, saw Bateman on the opposite sidewalk. She hoard him groan and called Mr. Jordan. He in turn notified the police and a patrol was sent to the scene. Just as the wagon arrived Mrs. Bateman looked out of the window and recognized her husband. ' He was taken into the house, where hedied without throwing any light on the cause of his physical condition. He had been employed on the TimesStar four years. GRAY FACES FIGHT TO HOLDJOSITIOfl Tucker Believes Sixth District Will Oust Old Representative. SENTIMENT GROWS R. G. Tucker, one of the best known political writers in the state, and Indianapolis correspondent for the Cin cinnati Enquirer, believes Finly Gray is going to have a lot of trouble in securing the Democratic nomination for congressman from the Sixth district Writing in the Enquirer, Tucker says : It seems that the Democrats, over the district feel that the Grays have been taken care of in a manner that should satisfy the most fastidious of polity la as, and from various corners of tae district it Is cited by Democrats that George Gray, elder brother of the circuit composed of Fayette, Franklin and Union counties for more than twelve years and now is sure to be nominated by the Democrats again in that judicial district; that Finly has been a congressman from this district for four years; that the latter appointed his sister as his private secretary I during his incumbency and that in all j probability he will appoint his brother as postmaster at Connersville, there fore in each county there are those who claim that some other should be nominated at the next congressional convention and pass it around. "Gum-shoeing" Is Long Suit. Again there is quite a number who think that Finly should not stand aloof and refuse to enter Democratic caucuses; they say he should do more than he has been doing along the line of putting the "kibosh" on the civil service list and helping Democrats to BomirA nncitlAne that iVioir ffln till V their garden seeds right if he will attend to getting a few jobs for his constituents; that his long suit is in "gum-shoeing" the district and building poliical fences, when he ought to be on the job over at D. C. and many other things, ad infinitum. Then there is Finly's attitude on the little donation which was solicited for a present to the president's daughter. Heroic efforts are being made by George and Finly to prevent any other candidate from appearing in the field; an effort is being made to sew up the various delegations by counties, but, say the wise ones, there will be a candidate on convention day to oppose the legislator from Connersville and the Democrats will nominate a new man from the Sixth district. Time will tell the correctness of this assertion. FljTERS BUSY Small Blazes Keep Department Men on Run. Small blazes kept the fire department busy yesterday afternoon and evening. Sparks falling on the roofs caused $1 damage at the houses of J. W. Moss, 808 North G street, and E. E. Firth, 23 South Twelfth. A grounded wire is believed to have fire a Western Union telegraph pole at Sixteenth and North F street at 6:20 last evening, which was responsible for the third alarm. CHIEF GOODWIN ASKS GYMNASIUM FOR PATROLMEN Patrolmen on the Richmond police force are sure enough marksmen to do effectively what shooting will be necessary in discharging the duties of their offices, but need regular gym aiaatlea to keD them in Kood nhvsical condition, saia enter uoodwin toaay Goodwin said he believed the patrol men should have regular gymnastic work, and. had planned to devote the room in the rear of police court to training quarters. The use of that room for the office of Street Commissioner Knollenberg has temporarily blocked the chief's plans. He hopes, however, to be able before long to provide a gymnasium and apparatus for the member i of the force.

WESTCOTT ABANDONS HIGH PRICED FIELD

Company to Put Out $1,385 Type Auto For the Spring Trade. NEW MODEL IS READY Factory Adds to- Force to Turn Out 20 Machines a Day. Deserting the field of high-priced motor cars, the Westcott Motor Car company announces that beginning within a fortnight it will place upon the market lower-priced automobiles. The cars are quoted at $1,385. 'The demand is fast growing toward lower-priced cars, and to this end we have spent time and money in designing a car that would meet the approval of all classes," declared General Manager Lee Ashley. 'The new car will have practically the same seating capacity as former models, and will be equipped with electric starter and lights." The first of the new models, finished in white, will be sent to Chicago in a special express car for the Chicago automobile show, January 24. It was at first thought that the new model would not be completed for the show, but night and day shifts Were placed on the car, and it went to the paint shop this morning. Ready for Spring Trade. It is the present plan of the Westcott company to place the $1,385 car in the field for the spring market. With this fact in mind the plant will increase its force until within sixty days it is expected the plant's force will be trebled. 'Within sixty days the plant will be turning out cars at the rate of twenty a day,' said Manager Ashley. From the reports received from agents and distributors throughout the country, two-thirds of the factor's output has been purchased, and each day's mail brings many new orders. Frank G. McCurdy and other representatives of the Westcott factory will accompany the car to Chicago. The new model Is somewhat smaller than the higher priced cars, and weighs less than 2,500 lbs. The car is equipped with a new type of half underlying springs. The Westcott car is the first to use thi; new type of springs, which gives the car as much road clearance, yet it is six inches lower than the average car. The body is of the new streamline design, which is being used in all foreign cars, but the Westcott design will be distinctive because , of. Its graceful yet simple lines. The power unit of the new model is a three and a half by five Northway motor, almost Identical to the one used in the $1,950 and higher priced machines. The wheel base of the new type has been reduced to 113 inchs, which, in time, will be uniformly adopted for cars of this type. At this time both touring and roadster models will be turned out by the factory. They are both quoted at the same market price, but there are certain reductions for equipment on the roadster model. The officials of the Westcott company are endeavoring to get of their hands all the 1914 models of the larger cars so that work on the new model may be started as Boon as possible. WILL OJJUSTEO Manager Wharton Asks Consumers to Call At Office For Explanations. In a statement issued today explaining the attitude of the Richmond Light, Heat and Power company relative to complaints that bills to consumers are not properly made, J. B. Wharton, manager, invites subscribers to call at the company's office with their statements. He announced that all charges would be explained to them, and improper charges, where such have been made, would be properly adjusted. Other than this the company stands pat on its present system, merely citing the section of the ordinance and contract relating to the price to be asked and received for natural gas. Cites Complaint. The complaint has been , that the company's method of carrying odd hundreds of feet over until the next month was unfair to the small consumer, burning less than 2,000 feet of gas. City Attorney Bond said he judged from the statement that the company intended to do what is right, that is, charge the consumer only for the amount of gas burned. He said he and Wilfred Jessup, attorney for the company, who drew up the statement, agreed on the interpretation of the ordinance-contract. So far, according to the city attorney, no one has been overcharged. WEATHER FORECAST FOR INDIANA Fair tonight and Friday. TEMPERATURE. Noon 32 YESTERDAY. Maximum 43 Minimum 16 W. E. MOORE'S FORECAST. The storm that was central Monday on the Pacific coast dashed rapidly eastward and is now moving down the St. Lawrence Valley. It was the direct cause of the rapid rise in temperature yesterday and also last evening's gust of rain and strong winds. Another low has appeared on the Pacific coast and should cause continuous rain or snow about the last of the- week. The coming storm probably will be of longer duration than the one of Wednesday. :

MORSE FIGHTING FOR VINDICATION

CHARLES W. MORSE Charles W. Morse, the spectacular financier who is now fighting to regain the high position he held in New York financial circles up to the time he was sentenced to serve a term of fifteen years in the Atlanta federal penitentiary, and who was pardoned by President Taft after serving two years, is said to be planning to vindicate, himself and at the same time wreak vengeance on his enemies. Morse is trying to launch an investigation by a congressional committee of all the circumstances which led up to his conviction. He also contemplates suits for damages against bankers and other persons connected with his trial. SOLONS BEGIN WORK ON WILSON'S PLAN Trust Violators to Receive No "Immunity" Baths Under New Law. WASHINGTON, Jan. 15. Members of the senate interstate and house judiciary committees today began work in earnest on the anti-trust legislative program as agreed to in conference- between the- president and congressmen. The first of ' fonr items of the plan struck out by the president is that removing the last possibility of "immunity baths" for trust magnates who are parties to violations of the Sherman law. Not only are they to be held to answer for "personal guilt" but they and their corporations will be denied leniency by the "confession" route. Actual punishment is the Wilson plan. Interlocking directorates is to me definitely penalized in the case of banks, trust companies and allied industrial corporations, so that the means for conducting an industry may not be assured in one place and artificially withheld in another. An interstate trade commission is to absorb the present bureau of corporations and serve as an auxiliary of the courts and to the department of justice. It is to gather information as to corporations and furnish it to the business world. As far as possible all doubts as to just what constitute a monopoly or conspiracy in restraint of trade is to be removed and th "rule of reason" in this way repealed. P1NNIX ADMITS THEFT Colored Man Slipped $28 From Goble's Pocket. Lee Pinnlx, colored, has been chargde with grand larceny in circuit court.

REAL TANGO DANCE GETS APPROVAL OF RICHMOND SOCIETY

Graceful Illustration Fascinates 300 Applauding Spectators. MUSIC OF TROPICS INTENSIFIES EFFECT Spanish-American in Essence It Requires Yankee Dash. Suffering mackerals! Richmond society last evening, while it gazed with fascination on the first local exhibition of the real tango, as gracefully illustrated by Mies Gladys Bailey, one of the popular younger society belles, and P. Paul Pearse, dancing expert and late physical instructor for the Richmond Y. M. C. A, realized with horror that the catch-as-catch-can wrestling movement in vogue here this winter and known as the "tango" was merely a Earbary Coast "bear." The real tango, just as it was when captured in the wilds of Argentina and brought to America to set half the nation dippy with its terpsiehorean charms, was danced by Miss Bailey and Mr. Pearse at the I. O. O. F. hall and was witnessed by nearly three hundred society folks. The undefiled tango is as typically Spanish-American as chili con carne or a Mexican revolution. It is danced to languid music of the tropics through which runs a dominating undercurrent of time which characterizes the classic American "rag" music. Physical culture from the waist up is strictly tabooed as the dancers go through their steps, but this does not rob the dance of its dash. A Thing of Beauty. Miss Bailey and Mr. Pearse now and then would dance apart then would flash back to each other for the other graceful, dashing movements. There is nothing coarse in any of the tango movements. It is all grace a thing of fascinating beauty. Enthusiastic applause rewarded the dancers as Richmond's first exhibition of the tango concluded. Then a few ventursome young couples sallied forth to give exhibitions of the Americanized tango. This dance is shy on foot work, but Is an excellent medium for the display of the contortionist's art. It consists of the clutch hold of the "bunny hug" dance, the stride of the "bear cat" and the swaying movement ot a storm tossed rowboat. Not for Average Man. There was considerable discussion of the real tango, at the conclusion of the exhibition last night, and it appeared to be the general opinion that the average American man would probably trip over himself and break " a few bones, if all the graceful, catlike steps of the Argentine production were attempted by him. It was frankly admitted that the South American dance Is by far the superior of its Argentine prototype and that the Americanized dance would be greatly improved by the elimination of the body movements and the adoption of the more simple steps of the real, official tango. Miss Bailey and Mr. Pearse also gave exhibitions of the one step and a beautiful waltz movement. Mr. Pearse himself performed the "Dance of the GobllnB." showing his great skill In this line of work. Miss Bailey is a remarkably clever dancer, dancing with Mr. Pearse after six lessons with all the skill of a professional. Mr. Pears left for New Tors: today and probably will become a tango teacher in that city. USES MOtlTESSORI METHODJTEACHIIIG Wife of Former Local Man Says 3-Year-Old Boy Speaks 2 Languages. Mrs. William Bayard Hale, wife of the former Richmond man who Is special personal counsel to President Wilson, is spoken of in Washington papers as one of the "worth while" women of Washington. Her use of the educational methods of Mme. Maria Montessori In teaching her son is touched upon. Mrs. Hale, who was Olga Unger, daughter of the German-American banker, Emil Unger, was married to William Bayard Hale In London, four years ago. Since that time. Hale has become the biographer and friend of President Wilson and was entrusted with important personal messages of the President to Mexican, rebels. Mrs. Hale, who is herself teaching their son. said to a representative of the Washington Star regarding the application of the Montessori methods: "I have adopted these methods in the training of our little son, whose education is the chief interest of Mr. Hale and myself. He learns through play. Every morning he plays with big cards, on which are printed numbers and the letters, of the alphabet. This, yon might say. is the way he goes to school. Now, at the age of three years, he is a robust and merry child. He speaks two languages, English and German, and knows many ! French words and phrases.
