CARNATION LEAGUE FOUIIDERJIVES HERE Lewis G. Reynolds, Author of Creed, a Richmond Resident.

Few persons in Richmond who wore carnations today as an annual tribute to the memory of William McKinley, know that the founder and organizer of the "Carnation Lieague of America" Is living in Richmond Lewis G. Reynolds. . The creed of the Carnation league, which follows, was composed by Mr. Reynolds and declared by former President Roosevelt to be a little classic which should be subscribed to ind memorized by every man, woman ind child in the nation: "Believing that the future greatness of my country can best be assured by a growth of good citizenship among the people, and that good citizenship may be promoted by keeping fresh in our hearts and minds the best traditions of our country, and that this can, in a measure, be accomplished by a proper observance of our national holidays, I charge myself, from this time forward, to give thoughtful consideration to the patriotic lesson presented by each such day, and endeavor to have others do the same." Carnation day was born in Dayton. Something of the purpose of the organization is indicated in the following extract from the original promulgation of the institution: There has been instituted a McKinley memorial known as 'the Carnation League of America," the sole purpose of which is to commemorate annually, the life and works of William McKinley and foster national patriotism. His pure, clean life, and his listinguished service mark him as worthy of especial honor. The same loyal impulse that prompted the stopping of wheels of industry for those moments on the day of his burial has found expression in this simple tribute instituted by the Carnation League of America. It can be taken part in by old and young of either sex. To wear the president's favorite flower in the lapel of the coat, or in the hair, or at the throat, in silent memory of a departed servant, whose life was forfeited because he was our public servant, is what is contemplated by this movement. The fact that the carnation was President McKinley's favorite flower and was always found in his buttonhole is the reason for its choice as a league symbol, to be worn on each recurring 29th of January, the anniversary oi the late president's birth. The custom was first observed on January 29, 1903, with the greatest unanimity throughout the country and by all Americans all over the world." FIRE HOSE BOUGHT BELOW OLD PRICE For the first time in many years the board of public works followed out a policy of purchasing fire hose on a competitive basis. Bids from iiiiK companies were opened, and all of them were below the price the city has been paying for some time, $1.10 a. foot. Five hundred fet of standard hose is to be purc hased, and the board will announce the contract award late this afternoon. Hose the city has been using in the past has been very satisfactory, but the board believed the city was paying too much for it. This opinion was apparently substantiated by the figures contained in the bids submitted today. 'I he Kureka Fire Hose Manufacturing company of Chicago, which lias supplied the city for several years, offered its brst grade at $1.10, but two other grades at 90 and 75 cents. Only one other company quoted hose as high as $1.10, the C. C. C. Fire Hose ami Rubber company of l'ort Huron, Mich., but it quoted two other standard grades at $1 and 95 cents. Bids of the companies follow: (Jrether Fire Kquipment company, Dayton, two grades at 85 cents, one at. Mi cents and one at 70 cents. Hi-Lateral Fire Hose company, Chicago, two at 85 cents, one at 95 cents and one at fl. Boston Wove a Hose and Rubber company. .!. 9n cents and 80 cents. Jones Hardware company (for New York Kelt and Packing company), $1 end 90 cents. .waiili.iU ,i n liubber company, Chicago, ", Ki, So and 75 cents. R. F. Goodrich company, Indianapolis, two grades at SO cents each. United Globe and Rubber company, Chicago, S2 cents. All bids called for double jacket cotton and ruber lined goods, and a 400pound pressure guarantee. Agents for the companies franklyadmitted it. was difficult to test the quality of rubber goods by sight or feeling, and all were emphatic in their declarations that their goods would stand the most rigorous physical and chemical tests. They also said that the normal life of hoso was from fifteen to twenty years, but no guarantee on the same could be made. CLEAN YOUR WALKS Persons whose sidewalks are covered with mud and dirt in the residence districts are receiving notices from the police department today to clean them up at once. The notices allow twenty-four hours time in which the work may be done from the time the notice is received. In some localities mud has been allowed to wash onto the sidewalks and accumulate until the walk is almost impassible. This has led to the action of the department, giving notice before the property holders are compelled to have the work done. INSTALL ORGAN IN FIRST PRESBYTERIAN A representative of the Moller Organ company of Hagerstown, Mr., is in the city installing the new pipe organ in the First Presbyterian church. The instrument is being installed at a cost of $3,500 by using some of the pipes from the old organ. Organ experts say the tone of some of the old pipes can not be Improved. The organ company hopes to have the instrument ready for use by the first fl March.

MANY TO ATTEND ANNUAL MEETING OF STATE SOCIETY INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 29. Crusadsaders, armed to the teeth with enthusiasm, will invade this city Saturday. They will come from as far north as Lake Michigan and from the Ohio river on the south. They will come from the valley of the historic Wabash on the west, and from the Ohio state boundary on the east. Instead of the flery steeds of the olden times, they will be mounted on snorting passenger trains and trolley cars. Their coming will mark a new epoch in Indiana's war against tuberculosis. Upon their arrival they will meet in the most important convention ever held in this state for the purpose of waring on the "great white plague." From reports received at the office of the State Anti-Tuberculosis Society, representatives will attend the meeting from nearly every county in the state. Noted educators, physicians, club women, social workers, professional men and others interested in this great movement will make up the assembly.

SINGERS OF GERMAN FOR CHARITY CAUSE German singers, members of the oldest musical organization in the city the Richmond Msennerchor will sing songs in the German lan guage at the charity concert at the i tabernacle, February 6. The Msennerchor was organized in 1856, in a room over Fifth and Main j streets, with Prof. Tisch as the first director. Only one of the charter members, John Schuman is living. He is ninety years old, but is still interested in the progress and growth of the society. With such men as Henry j Schulhoff, Ferdinand Herold, Henry Winterling. Leonard Sperling, Frederick Paulus, Conrad Schlueter, Baltzer Bescher and Henry Bmerick as active members, the organization flourished before the Civil war. Recruit Members. Vhen hostilities broke out on the society suspended meetings until 1866. Many younger Germans came to the city from Cincinnati in that and following years, from whom the ranks of the Msennerchor were refilled. The next year the first Stengerfest was given, the Cincinnati orchestra being brought here as an added attraction. The society was at that time in a home of its own between Main and North A streets on Seventh. Succeeding Prof. Collett as director, Prof. Al Moorehead took charge of the singing. Under his direction many successful recitals were given. At that time among the most active members were H. H. Engelbert, Joseph Grimm, Adolph Meier, William Surrendorf and Albert Stauber. A few years ago the Msennerchor changed its meeting place to the old station house on the south side, where weekly rehearsals are being held for the National Seengerbund to be held at Louisville, Ky., in February. William H. Duning, Jr., is directing the organization. SUFFRAGETS NOT "PEEVED" ABOUT HOUSE'S ACTION WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 There is to be no war against the Democratic party by the National American Suffrage association, because the house rules committee declined to recommend a special committee on suffrage. This was made clear today in a letter to President Wilson by Mrs. Medill McCormick, chairman of the congressional committee of the association. She assured the Democrats that the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage does not have the united support of the suffragists in its plan. PLEADS FOR CHANGE IN SHERMAN LAW WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 Declaring that the Sherman Law shall be deemed unreasonable. Representative Stanley of Kentucky today presented arguments in favor of the various measures he has introduced at the hearing on the administration antitrust bill by the house judiciary committee. "What we need to do," said Stanley, "is to restore the Sherman Law to its pristine vigor. Before the Standard Oil and Tobacco decision by the supreme court there was a long list of opinions by the court holding that any restraint of trade was an unreasonable one." COMMITTEE MEETS To decide "whether the Honeywell tabernacle shall be left standing for some time after the close of the revival, the committee of one hundred will hold a special meeting at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the Y. M. C. A. There has.been considerable agitation for allowing the building to stand and using it for union meetings. KRAIMEYER CHAIRMAN Elmer Kraimeyer was elected chairman of the committee on noon meetings at the Starr Piano factory today. Mr. Kraimeyer will name the other members of the committee who will co-operate with the Y. M. C. A. officials in arranging the meetings and in advertising them. The committee will also have charge of the factory end of arrangements for future open houses for the employes at the Y. M. C. A. "Y" TEAM MEETS EATON TOMORROW The Y. M. C. A. basketball team goes to Eaton tomorrow night to meet the Independent five of that place. Little is known of the strength of the Preble county outfit, although the management of that team asserts his men will give the locals a run for their money. The same lineup that played against the Hoosier five last night probably will start the game. A week from tomorrow night the "Y" team lines up the recently reorganized Centerville Hudsons, in a game which will decide the championship of Eastern Indiana. The Hudson aggregation includes such men as Harrington, Hampton, Weichman, Wilcoxen and Martin, and expects to break the winning streak of the association five.

FATE OF NESTOR IN JURY'S HANDS Judge Makes Specific Mention of Principles in Murder Trial.

Contrary to long established custom, Judge Fox today made specific mention of the principles in a murder trial when he read to the jury Instructions In the case of Donald Nestor, confessed assailant of Richard Cook, who died as the result of wounds inflicted with a pair of scissors at the hands of Nestor. The jury was given the case shortly after 2 o'clock. Judge Fox pointed out in his instructions that there had been an altercation between Cook and Nestor, cautioning the jury to weigh carefully the evidence to consider whether or not there was apparent danger in Cook's attitude toward the defendant at the time of the argument. Should the jury accept the opinion and arguments of the attorneys that Nestor was menaced by Cook and acted in self-defense, a verdict of acquittal may be returned. The attorneys for the defense asked for an acquittal, saying the evidence pointed toward the fact that Nestor was employing the "inherent right of self-defense." Prosecutor Asks Justice. Prosecuting Attorney Reller construed the evidence differently, but asked the jury that justice be given Nestor in the verdict. "Cook's death was the proximate result of the injury," Judge Fox told the jurymen in his instructions. Cook t,js ?nr languished and died in another state." i ne jutite continued, using part of the evidence in which it was shown that Cook and Nestor had had an altercation preceding the striking of the blow. He dwelt at length on what constitutes manslaughter, first and second degree murder. In opening his argument, Attorney Allen told the jury that the state had not made enough effort to secure witnesses showing that Nestor acted in self defense. "As prosecuting attorney of this county some time ago, I learned that many a man here in Richmond goes to jail for things he is not guilty of because he is unable to present his defense properly," Allen said. He said that Cook, who had been represented as having a reputation for peace and quietude in the community worked for only three months of the year he had been in Richmond and the remainder of the time loafed on the streets. The jury is composed of J. C. Burris, Caleb Wilson, George W. Davis, George W. Hensley, Lewis E. Kinsey, Elmer Lumpkin, Charles Dailey, Samuel Robinson, Mark Stevents, John Boyd, Charles Rothermel and Walter Harris. ENTHUSISM IS RIFE Enthusiasm at the noon shop meetings is Increasing as shown by the attendance at the Starr Piano factory, the F. & N. lawn mower company and the E. G. Hill greenhouse today. One of the best meetings of the series conducted by the Honeywell party and the Y. M. C. A. was the service at the Hill Floral company where every employe was present. Miss Lamont and Mrs. McCombe talked. The employes joined in the singing. No matter what the burden on a man's heart may be or what path he may have followed, Christ is willing to help him, the Rev. Mr. McCombe told the sixty-five men who attended the meeting at the F. & N. plant. J. H. McAfee sang. Prof. Elbert Russell talked at the Starr Piano company. Music was furnished by Mrs. Ray Longnecker and Mrs. F. W. Krueger. The last of the meetings for the week will be held at the Davis Carriage company and the National Automatic Tool company Friday noon. PATROLMEN TO HEAD TABERNACLE PARADE Headed by the night force of the city police department and the bands, the parade of Honeywell men, which forms at the Y. M. C. A. at 7 o'clock, will march west on North A strePt to North Fifth, thence south to Main and east to the tabernacle. The parade will be conducted by J. H. McAfee, acting as marshal. The places for assembling are: Reading room, patrolmen; lobby, dormitory men; second floor, boys; gymnasium, railroad men; street in front of the building, citizens. Y. M. C. A.

For the first time in its history as a bowling the Hunts suffered three consecutive defeats but in last night's contests the I. H. C. boys took every game with a large margin. The fact that both teams were imperred by the absence of two team members accounts for the small scores. Despite the fact that the bowlers were in poor form, King, of the I. H.

ASKS NEW SEWER IN WEST RICHMOND Petition Presented to Board Referred to Engineer For Plans.

At a meeting of the board of public works today a petition for a new sewer system was presented and referred to the engineer for plans and estimates. The proposed sewer system would be between West Ninth street and Clear creek from the National road to West Main and West Seventh to the creek, from Main to Peacock road. Engineer Charles said he had received several requests for official tests of gas meters. He said meter proving machines ranged in prices from $160 to $300. The board decided to defer action on this matter. A sanitary sewer for Richmond avenue, from Northwest Fifth to Northwest Seventh was petitioned for. The roadway from the North Twelfth street bridge to the fill being made for the road improvement to the north Is almost impassable because of mud, property owners informed the board today, and they presented a petition for a temporary board walk. The board will make an inspection of the proposed improvement. Engineer Charles reported that the city's share of the estimated cost of cement sidewalks and gutters on North Third street would be $650, and it is probable the board will order this improvement. "There is no question but what the sidewalks and the roadway on North Third street are in terrible condition," said President Bavis, "and the conditions existing on that street are not only undesirable to the residents, but make a very bad impression on visitors to the city." Because the platform of the north end C. & O. station was so poorly illuminated at night the board concluded its session by adopting a resolution requesting the railroad company to locate a large arc light at the station. INSPECTS PLANT The school board late this afternoon inspected and passed on the heating plant at the new Joseph Moore school. The building is now ready for the opening Monday morning.

EXPLAIN USE OF POSTERS ON BOARD Persons walking on East Main street have wondered at the large picture of the visit of the wise men to the manger where Christ and his mother were found, which la displayed on the bill board bearing the words, "Ask your Sunday School Teacher to tell the Story." The picture bears no advertising of any kind. It Is a part of an educational campaign bit upon by the Poster Advertising Association of the country to be placed on vacant space qn the boards. The purpose of the campaign is to interest boys and girls in better living. Thous

NEED OF ANOTHER PATROLMAN FELT The absence of Patrolman Wenger who is doing night traffic duty at Eighth and Main streets, is a serious handicap to headquarters in case of fires, ambulance calls and other hurry up calls, of which the majority come at night. While the presence of Wenger at the corner allows the four patrolmen on the adjoining beats to stay on them, it leaves headquarters without a man to send in response to urgent calls. The present arrangement does not satisfy Police Chief Goodwin, who, however, probably will not make any changes until the police commissioners feel able to add another man to the force.
