iSSERTS RICHMOND

SCHOOLS CHEATED Superintendent Giles Wants Every ChiW in the City of School Age Enumerated. INAUGURATE PLAN B ays something Must ne ' w a m ! Done as City Loses $400 on Every One Hundred Children not Enumerated. t Plans for the school enumeration to )be taken in Richmond from April 10 April 30 were discussed at a meeting of the school board last night and Superintendent Giles expressed his .belief that Richmond is missing school children and thereby losing money in the apportionment made by the state. He is introducing a new system to this city, devised by Superintendent of . Schools Wert at Gary and recently adopted in several other Indiana cities. A four-years' record of each family and pupil is kept on a single blank my the enumerator with the family's address each year and the sworn signature of the parent or guardian. . ; With this system, Mr. Giles believes m. better tabulation can be secured. To augment the enumerating, cards "will be distributed to the school children and will be taken into the homes. Ehould the enumerators miss any families orychildren, many can be discovered bychecking over the cards. $4.00 Per Child. t Richmond and Wayne county gets almost 84.00 for every child between the ages of six and twenty-one years, rho is a resident of the county, whether going to school or not. "If the children are here, we want to find them." Mr. Giles said. "Marlon, with 3.000 less population, has evera! hundred more school children Enumerated. Anderson and Muncie "both pass Richmond. Every hundred missed means almost $400 to the vity." i The city will be divided into groups of school districts this year instead of using the former boundries. The ffour men who will take the enumeration have not been definitely chosen. Transfer Records, j After taking the enumeration on the blanks, using an Individual blank for each family, the records will be transff erred to big sheets provided by the state. This will be much extra work the first year, but after that will be feasier and more exact than the old f aystem. 1 School enumerations win. be taken I, tit the same time In the townships. For Wayne township. Trustee Hcrwarth has chosen Charles Crawford, Isaac V. Gause and James NorthuD to do the work. ' Last year there were almost 6,000 children of school aire in Richmond f and almost 1,000 in Wayne township, f These, with the other townships of j the county, are kfpt on record In the office of County Superintendent Williams. ! r BOSTON, IND.

General Felix Diaz and Party Vainly Seek Audience in Capital

Unable to secure an audience with either President Wilson or Secretary Bryan, General Felix Diaz and his party are now said to have secured the promise of a hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. For several days they have been In Washington, but have been remaining under cover and have denied themselves as much as possible to newspaper reporters. Their names do not appear on the register of the hotel at which they are stopping, but the photographer succeeded in discovering their whereabouts and finally prevailed upon them to sit for the picture in their room. Sitting In front is General Diaz, standing at the left is Arthur A. Brownlee, an American mining engineer, and at the right is Pedro del Villar, secretary to the general.

Friends May Abandon Stations in Mexico

Probably the most important meet ing of the Foreign Missionary board held since the starting of the Mexican revolution three years ago was held in the South Eighth Street Friends church this afternoon. The session is to determine whether or not to abondon temporarily the mission stations at Metawall and Victoria, Mexico. Although Charles E. Tebbetts, secretary of the board, would divulge no statement as to the probable outcome of the tense situation, it is well understood that there seems to be a sentiment to abandon the field until the uprising stops. It is well understood that the life and property of the Friends missionaries are in danger at both towns. A recent communication from the station at Metamora tells of conditions which are next to a civil war. The mission buildings are the only ones which have not been damaged by the two armies. While it may be the finding not to abandon the Mexican field for a few weeks, it is expected that the board will take Immediate steps to provide means of getting supplies to the station in the interior. From reports it is ascertained that the missionaries E ANNOUNCES WAR ONJATS SMUT Station Tells Farmers How to Save One-third of Crop Loss. LAFAYETTE, Ind., April 1. At this season of the year Indiana farmers are making preparations to sow oats' Progressive farmers are doing everything possible to put the seed in the best possible condition. It is timely, therefore, to suggest a means of eliminating a great loss that has come to this crop annually. Indiana grows each year about 1,900,000 acres of oats. The loss from oat smut has ranged from one-half to twenty-five per cent. Many farmers have stated that they have lost, many seasons, more than one-third of the crop because of the smut. This great loss can be eliminated in a large part by the treatment of the seed before planting. The following method is recommended by the Purdue experiment station: Spread out the seed on a floor or canvas and sprinkle with a solution of one pound ( about one pint) of formalin to 50 gallons of water until thoroughly moist, but not wet enough to pack in the hand. Shovel over repeatedly to distribute the moisture evenly, then shovel into a pile and cover with sacks or canvas for at least two hours. The seed may then be sown at once or may stand until the next day. If to be kept longer, grain should be dried as rapidly as possible by spreading in a thin layer and stirring occasionally with a rake. Avoid reinoculating with smut from smutty sacks or bins after treatment. The solution may be mixed in a barrel and applied with sprinkling can. Each gallon of this solution is enough for almost two bushels of oats. KRONE SELLS STORE Owing to failing health it is understood that Otto Krone, owner of the Krone Tailoring company store will sell his Interests to John Thompson. It is said the deal was consumated today. Mr. Thompson is from Peru, Ind. The consideration of the sale was not announced. PENSION BILL IN. WASHINGTON, April 1. The an: nual pension appropriation bill, one of the largest of the yearly budget, was reported to the house by appropriation committee today. It provides H9,150,00 for the fiscal year 1916.

PURDU

are having difficulty to get supplies. The checks are proved valueless owing to the fact that the town is under civil government and there Is no assurance of money. Another fact Is that the sources of food supply are rapidly becoming exhausted and that the only way to get food to missionaries Is to transport it many miles. It may be that the board will obtain the services of a supply train to take food supplies to the missionaries or order them to abandon the field. Raymond Holding, a missionary, who left Mexico a few months ago, tells that conditions are almost beyond conception. The country is overrun with bandit gangs which follow in the wake of the advancing and retreating armies and steal and. plunder that which the soldiers happen to leave. Those attending the meeting are W. C. Tabor, New York city; James Carey, Baltimore; Francis A. Wright, Kansas City; Charles Carey, Summittville; Ernest S. Gregory, Springdale, la., and Edgar S. Hiatt and Charles Tebbetts, both of Richmond. The sessions of the board will con

tinue through tomorrow. C1MEND HOUSE ON REPEALING ACT London Newspapers Declare Action Vindicates United States Before the World. LONDON, April 1. Commendation of the American house of representatives for passing the measure repealing the free tolls clause of the Pana ma canal act was voiced by the leadj ing papers of London today. I "The result," sayB the Evening Standard, "is highly satisfactory. It means mat American legislators can think twice before committing the country to a course that can only be described as uncalled for discrimination against Great Britain.' The Pall Mall Gazette, whose owner is Waldorf Astor, an American citizen, says: "The British people rejoice not because the success of President Wilson may be a benefit to Britishtrade, but because the good faith of the great and kindred republic will be vindicated before the world If the measure becomes a law." The Evening News jeered at Speaker Clark in editorial comment: "Thanks to President Wilson the house of Representatives has cancelled the advantage given to American ships under the Panama tolls act. Mr. Clark mdae a great speech against Wilson's policy, but even his passionate allusion to the 'globe encircling domain of the United States' did not save his party (faction) from a defeat which does his country every credit" METHODIST PASTORS ATTEND CONFERENCE The Rev. B. Earl Parker, of the First Methodist church, the Rev. Arthur Cates, of the Grace M. E. church, and the Rev. Sylvester Billheimer, of the Third M. E. church, with District Su perintendent w. B.

"I see no dancer to this eountrv atcept from its own sovereign," said senator Jones. L PAPER RATED RMjAILURE Edmonton's Journalistic Venture Denounced by Taxpayers and Newsboys. EDMONTON, Ala., April 1. Edmonton's latest contribution to the municipal ownership fetish, the Official Gazette, which made its initial appearance last week, is being severely criticised by rate-payers who will foot the bill, estimated to reach $25,000 a year. The local press also expresses its disapproval in no uncertain terms. Chief Justice Beck, of the Alberta supreme court, today heard the argument of counsel for Mark Tookey, a property owner, who seeks to restrain the municipality from continuing the publication. Frank W. Hartlng, a veteran news paper man of wide experience, writing in the Capital, says: "The Official Gazette must be described as a vile specimen of a bad newspaper," adding: "Future generations will see it in the chamber of horrors of some school of journalism as an example of what should not be produced." John Michaels, president of the Edmonton Newsboys' union, says the Gazette, which is to be published ev ery Thursday noon, is "a rank bloomer; it got a bum start and doesn't get you anywhere."

A SPECIALISTS ADVICE IN KIDNEY TROUBLES This is to certify that for a number of years I was employed as a motorman until I was taken so seriously ill with kidney trouble I had to resign my position. For about six years I was unable to do any work whatever. I doctored with several doctors to no effect. Finally I went to Toledo to see a specialist who advised me that I had kidney trouble in its worst form. He told me I was in a serious condition and asked me what I had been taking. I told him Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and he said there wasn't anything better. I returned home and continued to take Swamp-Root and have practically recovered my health, and I am now able to work. I am positive that if it were not SwampRoot I would not be here to give this testimonial. I heartily recommend Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root to any one afflicted with kidney trouble. You have my permission to publish this testimonial if you desire. Very gratefully, SAMUEL WILSON. ?16 Georgia Ave, Bowling Green, Ohio.
