attended the temperance meeting at the St. Paul's Lutheran church last night, where Prof. Elbert Russell gave a temperance speech, were related by the men themselves who had personal encounters with alcohol. Prof. Russell declared that he knew of a street car conductor who resigned as election judge for the wets because the Terre Haute, Indianapo.us & Eastern Traction company has posted within the last week, notices at the cur barn forbidding drinking, either on or off duty, and had pledged himself to vote dry. He quoted Dr. Emil Kraepelin, professor of mental diseases at the University of .Munich, in saying that alcohol is not a stimulant and that it is i he sum of the first, second and third
drinks that intoxicates and not the i
fourth or fifth drink. The investigations have been concluded by machine tests in the laboratory which prove conclusively, he declared, that the muscular and mental speed of the man who drinks suffers a diminualion as a result of drink. Reduces Efficiency.

He had presented figures showing some of the factory workmen that forty cents a

Charles McPherson declared that drinking days were the darkest of his life and although he had started our happily married with every chance, through his association with drinking men. he lost his grocery.

Jesse Wiechman pleaded that the men for temperance use their moral courage, to declare themselves instead of hesitating. He asked for personal work.

COLORED PREACHER SPEAKS FOR DRYS Rev. Mr. McColl Says Saloon Man Is the Object of Reproach.
' Speak: at The W'esleyau church ; last evenina, the Rev. C. W. McColl, I of Indianapolis, declared that. the liquor traffic makes any man who handies it an object of reproach. He ; lused his argument, on two incidents ; j which he related. Others who talked were H. C. , ; Pierce. ;. C. Sampson and W. 11. Ho-' gun. The Hunter quartet sang. "Resides bringing re proach upon the : men in the saloon business, his entire ; family is made to share the reproach,'" said the Rev. Mr. McColl. "Pastor ; Pierce would invite to a seat on thi.-; ! platform a butcher, a blacksmith, a j doctor, a farmer, a painter and men conducting any other lines of legal ! j business. excepT the man wtio is en-; igaired in the liquor business. He, like! ; sin. is a reproach to any people. ' j "The man who votes the wet ticket ! j becomes partaker in this ignominy!

today and went direct to his home. The fact that he was to be made permanent chairman of the state convention tomorrow was news to Senator Kern, he said. Relative to the contents of telegrams which passed
between himself and National Committeeman Thomas Taggart yesterday. Senator Kern said they were confidential and private, and that he was not. at liberty to discus3 them. He likewise refused to discuss the Kirby Risk letter which has been the cause of so much comment. Senator Kern would make no statement regarding activities at the convention unti after he had conferred with "party leaders." Albert Venneman and W. J. Boehne, of Evansville, Kirby Risk, J. H. Modill. John W. Holtzman and other "progressives" were on the Union Station platform when Senator Kern stepped off the train. It was "Hello, there. Senator," and other greetings which Senator Kern received. He was asked to hold a conference with the progressive forces, but he firmlytold them that he wanted to go home and get a rest before talking politics. Confirms Statement. Senator Kern confirmed the statement of Thomas Taggart that he had requested that he be not sent as a delegate to the state convention from the Third ward of Indianapolis. Senator Kern will meet, with the "regular" party leaders late this afternoon. He said that he had no intention of trying to force anything on the convention in regard to his views on the primary election plank, and that the messages of Wilson and Bryan were more In the nature of personal letters to him rather than the message which they had asked him to convey to the Hoosier Democracy. Senator Kern said that, in the event of his being made permanent chairman of the state convention tomorrow that he would speak extemporaneously. He said that he had no desire to lie made a member of the platform committee. Speculation as to the other planks in the platform, aside from the primary election plank, is not very pronounced. Fred Feick, for the Railway employes' association of the state, has his proposed mediation and conciliation plank ready for submission to the platform committee when it meets tonight. Feick will recommend that a board of arbitration be provided by the state, its work to be done after mediation and conciliation have failed. His provisions for the appointment of the arbitration board contemplates the selection of one arbiter each by the two sides to the dispute and the third by the state board of mediation and conciliation. Feick has planned his proposed board of conciliation and mediation on the Krdman federal act. So far the woman's suffrage plank, if there is to be such a plank in the state platform, has been allowed to stand in some dark corner. Party leaders do not even mention it and so far no one has arisen to champion it. The different district delegations began to pour in this forenoon. The actual organization by districts starts at 7 o'clock tonight at the thirteen district meeting to be held at the state house. In the meantime the slate committee will convene at the Hotel Denlson and the appointment of committees will then be taken up.
POLICE ASSERT OPIUM TRAFFICJAS HOLD (Continued from Face One.)
S. Edgar Nicholson, chief manager of the drys, today handed the following to The Palladium: "The drys are expecting one of the largest meetings tonight at the tabernacle, where the Rev. Father John Kubacki is the speaker. He is a Roman Catholic priest, in charge of a large Polish church in South Bend, Ind. It is expected he will have a strong message for Richmond voters, giving them reasons from the Catholic standpoint why the city should vote dry. The Baptist quartet, which
made such a hit on last Sunday night, will be present and sing. The Honeywell chorus has been invited to be present. "There will be no further meetings at the tabernacle this week after tonight. On next Sunday, however, it is expected that following sermons in the forenoon in all the churches in behalf of the dry side of the campaign, there will be great meetings at the tabernacle both in the afternoon and in the evening. Honeywell for Monday. "On Monday night the Rev. I. E. Honeywell comes with Mr. and Mrs. Clase for the final round-up at the tabernacle. Many requests have been coming in that it be a meeting for voters only, but this plan will not be followed. The committee expects, however, to reserve the middle section from pulpit to rear, for voters, and perhaps some of the sections on either side. It is reported that already persons are planning to come as early as 4 o'clock in the afternoon in order to get seats, and it is possible that there will be an overflow meeting in the East. Main Street Friends church, to be addressed by prominent citizens and also by Mr. Honeywell. "Mr. Honeywell has sent a special request that the business men of the city as well as the factory men be invited to be present on Monday evenin. There is a special request also from Mr. and Mrs. Clase that the entire chorus of the revival campaign take their places on the platform. "The report is being circulated that Mr. Honeywell is to receive $1,000
for his services in coming back to Richmond. "This is another one of the campaign lies being circulated by the wets. At first they said he was to receive $3,000, and now they have it down to $l.ooo. "The fact is, Mr. Honeywell wrote the committee that Richmond had given him a mighty square deal. He has made no charge whatever, and his coming to Richmond does not cost the committee a dollar. His interest in the moral welfare of Richmond, a city which he has learned to love for the sake of its people, is his sole motive for coming back at this time."
CONTINUE WORK ON NEW CHURCH
AN APPEAL TO REASON Who passes judgment for you on your political, civic and religious belief? Then, why not do your own investigating on this health question? See for yourself the part Bile plays in your physical make-up. !Cvey authority concedes that Bile is the element that purifies and disinfects the food and food channel. Pure food for the blood means a healthy body. Pure food for the blood is impossible without a free flow of Bile. PoDoLax Releases the Bile "PoDo." from Podophylin, the medical name for May Apple Root. In bibical times it was called "Mandrake." "Lax," from Laxative, meaning to release gently without the. purging, crthartic action of other bile starters. PoDoLax is the name. After thinking this over, after investigating for yourself, ask for PoDoLax and remember that the man w ho offers you "something better" or "jusi as good" questions your intelligence. Advertisement)

the Newman's Hill dive is the place where local people addicted to the use of opium have been securing the drug. Evidences to support this theory were numerous, empty cans being scattered about the house and premises, and a pair of delicate scales used in weighing the drug. Opium sells for $3.50 per half-pound can, and the police say the number of empty cans found show that at least $3.50 worth of the drug had been disposed of. After a can was emptied, the three "hop" smokers would carefully scrape off the label and then tosa it into some corner of the house or out of doors. There was enough
left on the label of one can to show it was prepared by Powers-Weightman-

"The second floor was not used, but the first floor rooms look like hogpens. There were two beds in separate rooms, and the bed sheets were as black as soot. Unused food, decaying, stood in vessels about the house. The floors were covered with
! tilth, and large cobwebs hung In the
corners. The stench of the tilth and opium was almost overpowering, and It almobt turned our stomachs to place hands on the three hop smokers." ! Some prepared opium, ready to be i rolled into pipe pills, was found wrap- ! ped in a newspaper back of a wall picture. A thorough search of th house failed to reveal pipes, but their hiding place will be discovered, the police believe.

POLICE ARREST FIVE PERSONS
The police gathered in five persons charged with intoxication Monday and Sunday, four of whom were arrested in the Pennsylvania railroad yards, where they had just alighted from incoming trains. Only one, John Cross, whose home is in Northern Ohio, was fined, and in default of payment, was sent to jail for eleven days. John Sanford and Thomas Williams, from Coshocton, O., pleaded not guilty and will be tried in Wednesday's court. George Manrer will also be tried in the morning.

SAGE AND SULPHUR DARKENS GRAY HAIR
It's Grandmother's Recipe to Restore Color, Gloss and Thickness.
Hair that loses its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this old-time recipe. Nowadays we get this famous mixture by asking at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy,'' which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. Besides, it takes off dandruff, stops scaip itching and falling hair. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; bt;t what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance.
