CITY Reference Librarian Needed, Head of State Library Commission, Tells Board and Committee. SHELF ARRANGEMENT HAMPERS ACTIVITIES Indiana Expert Suggests the Placing of 5,000 Volumes in Reading Room to Accommodate Users. That a reference librarian is needed at the Morrisson-Reeves library, tvas strongly emphasized by Charles K. Sanborn, head of the state library commission in a conference held in the Commercial club rooms last night. He also pointed out how a municipal department might be installed and made useful to business anu working men. He described what might be done with the present library plant, after making a few slight architectural changes, and also outlined the plan of extension work. His presentation of a program for making the library more useful and more popular was approved by the members of the library board, Mrs. Bernhardt, the librarian and by the library committee. Mr. Sanborn showed that the present library management is handicapped by the arrangement of the building. Many of the rooms are so situated as to be almost useless for public purposes and the arrangement of the book stacks and other equipment of the plant is so incommodious that not very much improvement can be made in the library service until some changes have been made in these arrangements. With a diagram of the library before him, he sketched out for the trustees a plan by which a number of present inconveniences can be gotten around, by which all the library activities may be confined to one floor and the service greatly facilitated and improved.

BEARING SUFFERING CALMLUAN DIES John Crawford Succumbs at Reid Memorial Hospital After Several Hours of Excruciating Pain. SKIN IS BURNED OFF West Side Resident Received Burns in Gasoline Explosion in Celler of His Home Yesterday. John Crawford, burned at his home on Boyer street yesterday afternoon as a result of the explosion of a gasoline stove, died at Reid hospital last evening at 8 o'clock. There was scarcely a part of his body which was not horribly burned, and his suffering were excruciating. Police officers who attended him after the accident remarked today of the exceptional courage displayed by the injured man. Despite his agony he remained perfectly calm. He bore the sufferings attending the dressing of his wounds without flinching, only an occasional groan escaping his lips. "The haste displayed in removing Crawford's clothing right after the accident was unfortunate," said Dr. W. W. Zimmerman today. "In tearing off his garments much skin and some flesh Avere pulled off. Of course thoso who attended the man first acted as they thought best and with the keenest desire to aid the unfortunate man." The first call to the police was for the automobile, but when it arrived at the Crawford home it was discovered that the ambulance would have to be used. This caused considerable delay, and the removal of Crawford to the hospital was still further delayed by an accident to Dr. Zimmerman's machine, Avhile he was responding to the call. The long ambulance trip was a torture to the injured man, but he cheerfully bore his sufferings and told the police officers in a matter of fact manner the details of the accident. Nearly all the man's skin was burned off, and in some places strips of flesh came off. As soon as an examination was made at the hospital it was realized that Crawford had no chance of recovery. Funeral arrangements will be announced later. SISTER WILL CARE FOR LITTLE GIRLS Children of Mr. and Mrs. Moon Not to Be Placed Under Care of County.

RUTLEDGE PREDICTS OHIO WILL BE DRY WITHIN TWO YEARS

Compares Indiana With Ohio Saying Both States Must Vote Out Saloon in Order to Get Results. FAVORS BLIND TIGER TO PRESENT SALOON Urges Dry Workers to Organize in Every Precinct in Order to Wage Successful Battle in This City. "I would rather have a dozen blind tigers running after my child than to have one tiger with its eyes open pursuing it," declared John S. Rutledge at the tabernacle last night. "We run up against the same kind of proposition over in the Buckeye state that you folks do here," Mr. Rutledge said. "Some of the counties along the border on the Ohio side are dry, and the men go over in Indiana, get a bun and come whooping back into Ohio, and we have to put up with them. I guess it's the same with the wet Ohio counties and dry Indiana territory, so we're both in the same boat. "I was up in Main for a month, where they tell you 'speak-easies abound. But blind tigers there don't run unmolested. Bangor has a few of them, but they will get those out soon. "All the parade in Richmond can think of is blind tiger. I have heard so much blind tiger since I've been here that I am almost seeing things myself. But which would you rather have in Richmond, a blind tiger or one with its eyes open?

It's true they ship booze into dry territory, but if your saloon keepers would stop doing that you would break up the blind tiger business in forty-eight hours. I challenge the wets to agree not to run any blind tigers, and I already have Mr. Nicholson's promise that he will not run any.

Carranza Defies

In Reply

' WASHINGTON, March 14. Secretary of State Bryan today made public Gen. Carranza's reply to the demand that the Constitutionalist leader protect foreigners ta Mexico. The rebel leader's reply -was open defiance of the United States, he taking the ground that the American government has no right to make representations on behalf of European governments unless specifically instructed to do so by them. Carranza makes it plain that he will not entertain any representations made by the United States on behalf of foreigners unless they are made by specific requests.

Woman Accidentally Shoots Her Husband

Walker Leavell, colored, residing in a tenant house on the farm of B. W. Sheffer, near Elkhorn, was shot in the head and very seriously wounded by j his wife late yesterday afternoon. ' Leavell is now at the hospital. An X-ray will be used to locate the bullet. He had a very restless night, but his physician. Dr. W. W. Zimmerman, said today he has a fair chance of recovery. Mrs. Leavell says the shooting was accidental, and as a result of the ini vestigation he has made so far, Prose cutor Reller is Inclined,, to believe such was the case. Mr. Sheffer, who was near by when the shooting took place, also believes the shooting was accidental, although Leavell and his wife have had some trouble in the past. Mr. Sheffer says when he entered the house Mrs. Leavell was holding her husband, telling him repeatedly that she did not mean to shoot him, and that Leavell told her he knew she did not. -- MrBrtiavcll yii titer and her -huar band were good naturedly scuffling

Oi, Clarice! Isn't it Horrible! Cops Raid Press Club Banquet

Shortly after forty young men and women, students at Earlham collega, took their seats in the dining room of the Arlington hotel last night to participate in the annual banquet of the Earlham Press club, two grim patrolmen, Officers Wenger and Yingling, drove up in the police automobile and stalked into the banquet room, their brass buttons flashing omniously. Instantly the laughing and conversation ceased; the silence of a cemetery at midnight pervaded the rvm. After an impressive pause, Officer Wenger said in his most official manner, "Who is in charge of this affair?" Co-eds Shriek. By this time the situation had become what the dramatists love to describe as intense. Pretty co-eds turn ed a shade paler under their powder, and one shrieked, "My goodness, sakea alive!" Fearless college scribes twisted nervously in their chairs, except Howard McMinn, who had the audacity to grin; waiters shifted about apprehensively, with many glances in the direction of the rear exit; agitated traveling men swarmed into the dining room from all parts of the hotel, and a clerk telephoned to police headquarters, indignantly demanding the cause of police invasion of the hostelry. Finally on quaking limbs, or legs, as one prefers, Toastmaster Horace Reed confronted the frowning officers of the law and asked what they wanted. "We want you and the other parties who swiped loving cup out. of The Palladium office," growled Wenger. "But, really, my dear officer, we did not steal that loving cup. It was loaned to us," replied Reed in faltering accent. "We can't argue the case with you," replied Wenger, and Yingling frowned still more fiercely in emphasis. "Our orders are to take the five guys who copped the cup to headquarters, so get ready for the trip." This provoked a chorus of moans and sobs from the banqueters; under COMMITTEE PLANS CAMPAIGN IN CITY TO EXTERMINATE FLY The first action on carrying out ideas to rid the city of flies and to prevent the breeding of flies will be taken at a meeting of the committee called for 3 o'clock this afternoon in the Commercial club rooms. Simerlnteiident of Sr-hnols Giles. who is chairman of the committee has worked out extensive plans for the anti-fly campaign. Although his action in carrying the campaign through the schools does not depend on the committee's ideas on the matter, he announced that he will first present his data to other committee members before he takes steps in carrying out the plans. He has literature collected from

"In reference to the Desengano mine at Guanailram, Secretary Bryan said that countries which have recognised the Huerta Government cannot apply to me because of the fact that they are allowed but one representative accredited to Huerta. : "This is clearly my understanding and I have never claimed that these nations could apply to me. But these nations could have passed intercourse with me in my capacity as commander-in-chief of the Constitutionalist Army which controls a considerable portion of the Mexican Republic. This unofficial manner of communication might be availed of by the aforesaid countries in their representation to Washington or " through their consuls in Mexico. If there are no consuls in the country controlled by Constitutionalist forces as pointed out by Secretary Bryan In connection with the Dis--ongano case, then the governments concerned " may " very' well authorize other persons, who rar well be the consuls of the United .States to present their unofficial representation in the name of those governments, the power being properly drawn ,up. "As I truly do not see what objection foreign nations could have tothat method of communication with n, all over the possession of a revolver which she held. Finally she says, he seized her rlgh arm and pulled th weapon toward him, causing her to press the trigger. The bullet entered the head just below the lower front teeth, knocking out two teeth. Where the ball lodged was not known this morning, as the physician feared to probe for it. Mrs. Leavell says she and her husband had frequently "played" with the revolver, although they had been told by friends that if they continued to do - so one of them would get shot some day. Shortly after the shooting Mr. Sheffer took Leavell to the hospital in his automobile. Leavell works in Richmond as a laborer and is known as a good-natured man. The police say Mrs. Leavell has two or three times complained of her husband's actions, but their quarrels were never serious ones. It is improbable, that .an. affidavit will be filed against Mrs. "Leavell. expostulations on the part of the traveling men, one of whom muttered, "dern dirty trick," then fled. "Come on," repeated Wenged. "Yes, get a hustle on you," echoed Yingling. Then with heads downcast arose Howard McMinn, Clyde Little, Harold Peterson and Ben Johnson, Jr., and joined Toastmaster Reed in the lockstep to the police auto. John Johnson, Jr., and William Saunders also accompanied the "convicts" in the capacity of bondsmen. "Convicts" Welcomed Back. After a spin around the block the machine again stopped in front of the hotel and culprits and bondsmen, still wearing sober faces by dint' of heroic effort to suppress grins, and were tumultuously and sympathetically welcomed by the other banquet guests, who had remained petrified in their chairs. "This matter will all be cleared up in the morning in police court, and we will be able to convince the mayor that we had no intention of steading the loving cup from The Palladium office," said Toastmaster Reed, after quiet had been restored. This morning about thirty Earlham students came to the city to attend the "trial." and learned for the first time, to their intense chagrin, the clever hoax perpetrated by young McMinn, the only one who grinned wheu the situation was "intense," because he was the only one "wise" to the "stunt." He is to be court martialed by the Press club, and probably will be sentenced to be hung, strung and quartered. "Yingling and me would like to raid a banquet like that Earlham feed every night in the week," said Officer Yingling today. "After we brought the boys back the gang was so grateful they set us up to regular chicken and other stuff I didn,'t know was invented. I let Yingling set the pace In the eating, so I could tell whether to use my knife or my fork." FIGHT ABOUT TOLLS WILL BE BITTER WASHINGTON, March 14. The bitterness of the approaching fight over the administration to repeal free tolls clanse of Panama Canal act was evidenced yesterday by the demand of House members for the time to Bpeak on the bill. Unless the resolution al- ! lowing only six hours time is amend ed, a filibuser will be inaugurated by the foes of the repeal. TEMPORARILY DERANGED 4 emporarlly deranged.

Nor would there be any need for waiting for any representation for it is one of my purposes that justice and law Bhall be respected to the utmost in my country. "Deeming this a suitable reply, I I wish further to say to you that if the same foreigners or their relatives .will address their personal representations to me and beseech my protection for their lives and -interest they will be immediately attended to without any need of their government officially or unofficially intervening." (Secretary Bryan made public the Carranza reply without any comment and -declined to say whether there would be any answer to it from the United States. THOMPSON ADVISES TREEJQRDINAHCES City Forester Says That City Should Trim and Plant Trees Along Streets. . Pof. John Thompson of the high school, city forester, today conferred with members of the board of public I works and advised the passage of an I ordinance which would vest the board jwith complete authority In caring for i and planting trees on the streets of ' the city. He said as long as property owners were permitted to care for the trees the present unsatisfactory conditions would continue. "Let the city trim all trees, remove dead trees and have new ones planted at its own discretion and then assess the benefitted property owners for the expense incurred, Prof. Thompson advised. - He raid this method was -now being pursued in Pennsylvania. New Jersey, Massachusetts and other eastern states and was the only practical way for a city to conserve its shade trees. President Bavis of the board admitted Prof. Thompson's suggestion was the only practical remedy for the shade tree question but said the city did not have the funds this year to meet the immediate expenses of tree conservation. He thought it would be a wise plan to provide a fund in the 1915 budget for such purposes. Prof. Thompson then suggested that the city employ two or three men, acquainted with tree trimming work, to look after the needs of shade trees this soming spring, all of them working under the orders of the city forester. "If the dead limbs of trees are removed down to the green part and the open wood painted, and all dead trees removed, our trees will improve one hundrded per sent," said Prof. Thompson. He said he would willingly take charge of a gang of men to do this I work if he had the time to spare. J This work would have to be done be- ; fore June. If it is postponed until that i time it cannot be undertaken until the j latter part of August. MAY APPOINT DEPUTY Board Hears Plea for Assistant Health Officer. Pata on the need of a deputy rounty hValth officer whose duties would be almost identical with the city sanitaryinspector was secured from County Health Officer Krueker today by the county commissioners. However, the appointment of a deputy was deferred. Dr. Davis, who was city health officer for almost forty years, made the recommendation that, a county deputy be secured. Dr. Davis is also president of the state board of health, but did not. make the recommendation officially. It has been found that the county is undergoing unnecessary expense bypaying $2 for each house disinfected and about $2 a day for miscellaneous work. Dr. Krueker approved the recommendation of Dr. Davis for the appointment of a deputy. Dr. Davis recommended that a deputy be paid $60 a month and transportation provided. His duties would be the disinfecting of houses, close inspection of slaughter houses, examination of schools and the administration of the rules of the county health officer. Only one recommendation was made as to the possible appointee. It was George Young, city sanitary inspector for years, who at present is often employed by the county health officer for disinfecting and other work. Action probably will be taken within the next two weeks. The members of the board of commissioners are favorable to the idea.

U. S. TO FIGHT RELEASING OF

3 000MEXICANS

AT FORT BLISS Huerta Wants Refugees of . Ojanaga Turned Over to Civil Authorities of Southern Republic. . three departments"" ANTICIPATE BATTLE Officials Believe Carranza and Not Huerta, Man U. S. Will Have to Deal With in Mexico. WASHINGTON. March 14. The United States government will resist the efforts set on foot by representatives of President Huerta to secure the release of 3,000 Mexican soldiers held prisoners at Fort Bliss. Texas, since their flight from Ojinga across the international border. The three departments, state war and justice, are involved in the conflict that will develop as soon as court writs are filed for the release of the men. The court fights -a ill be waged by the United States District Attorney under direction of Attorney General McReynolds. This government will maintain that its action in holding the Mexicans is dictated by principles of humanity; that the only action possible if ordered released is their deportation and that this would result in their falling into hands of their foes, the Constitutionalists. There is a general belief among officials here that when the "show down" in Mexico comes it will be Villa and not Carranza with whom the United States will hare to deal. If Villa captures Torreon and then succeeds in forcing the surrender of Mexico City, it is believed that he will pro-' claim himself dictator. ARRt5T AMERICANS.
