HUERTA MUST ACT BY SUNDAY NIGHT Secretary Bryan Gives Authorized Version of Wilson's Ultimatum.

WASHINGTON, April 18 President "Wilson's ultimatum that President Huerta fire the salute to the American flag means that the Mexican dictator will have to indicate by six o'clock tomorrow night that be will fire the salute. This was the explanation authorized by Secretary of State Bryan after a conference with the President this afternoon. The secretary of state further stated that the reason for the length of period fixed by the president was that there Is no telegraphic communication between Mexico City and Tampico and that it would therefore be practically impossible for the salute actually to be fired by six o'clock tonight. The PrejjI'Vent therefore will accept Huerta'sAromise to order the salute in accordance with the American demand instead of demanding the salute itself as had been previously intended. The evidence of trouble with Mexico will not prevent President Wilson tj leaving for White Sulphur if rings at eleven o'clock tonight to bring Mrs. Wilson back to, Washington. Mrs. Wilson is reported to be in a highly nervous state and the presiident is anxious that she receive every possible attention on her way home. He will return with her to Washington early Monday. During his absence of thirty-two hours the president will be in close touch with the situation through Secretary Bryan who will not go to Miami, Fla., tonight as he intended. For the first time since the stirring days of the Spanish American war the "war room" at the White House today was pressed into - service to make the necessary, arrangements for the president's trip. Reservations were made for the president's staff of assistants and his special car will be equipped with every possible convenience for the receipt and dispatch of messages, i NO GOOD AS TOILER Illinois Official TriesFired. -Gets CLEVELAND, O., April 18. Barrat O'Hara, lieutenant governor of Illinois and chairman of the Illinois vice commission, today admitted that his value as a toiler with his hands is less than $4 a week, while his wife is worth at least $5 a week as a worker. Mr. and Mrs. O'Hara, who obtained (jobs in Bridgeport, Conn., (under assumed names) to study wage conditions, came here to confer with Mayor Newton D. Baker, who is also inter- ; ested in minimum wage problems. The lieuteuant governor said he ob1 tamed work in a corset factory while Mrs. O'Hara obtained work in a knitting mill. At the end of the third day the foreman told me to "get my money and beat it," said Mr. O'Hara. Later I learned that a husky laborer had got my job. "After I lost my job I looked up my 1 wife and found her busy with a $5 a week job. I have an idea what my ! maximum worth is as a laborer but my i minimum worth is still a matter of ' conjecture." ARMY OF ONE MAKES QUICK EXIT With a little "army of the unemployed" all his own, Frank Glace, major general, colonel, captain, lieutenant and private of the Glace army enroute to the great lakes, camped in Richmond last night. Glace employed himself at once in begging on North D street until he had enough money to buy a quart of whisky. He then proceeded to partake of his chosen nourishment in liveral quantities. Patrolman Longman and Driver Wenger confiscated the bottle and gave the army a hard bench in the city jail for the night's camp. Glace readily complied with the request of the police this morning to be outside of Richmond in fifteen minutes. BAN JOSE SCALE BAD THIS YEAR San Jose scale Is at its worst this year and is liable to do great damage to the fruits. Until this year, few farmers have made any attempt to keep their orchard trees free from the destructive insect. Frost has not damaged peaches, apples or other fruit and unless the scale prevents th maturing nf th fmits th. n the maturing of the fruits, the crop will be good this year. County. Agent Cob bhas been hold Ing horticultural meetings for instruc tion of farmers in spraying and prun ing trees. He plans estention work Jn this line, but because of the ad vanced season will be able to do little good this year. Concentrated lime sulphur is the best remedy but this kills the buds after they have swelled. CAR COMPANY , OPENS NEW TRACK Joyful tidings to residents of the Na tional road, east, are that the street car company has at last opened its new tracks in the center of the road and within a short time will have the old tracks removed, permitting contractors to put the road in passable shape. .Last night Marmon's switch was cut and Austin s switch a half mile idSt is now the city line terminal. The road has been in bad condition for six or eight months and wagons could hardly make the trip. First the wate- main was laid and then the car coil-.iiy tore up the center of the rodtw, piling dirt on both sides. MAY NOT ATTEND Because Richmond teachers have used all the days they feel they can spare from their work in the schools visiting conferences at Indianapolis and visiting schools in other cities, no one will attend the meeting of industrial instructors at Terre Haute April 24 and 25. Instructors who have charge of the work in the department of manual training otherwise would pike to attend the eoafwrence.

Federal Reserve Movement

WASHINGTON, April 18. One of the first real benefits to accrue from the new currency system, the first step In the inauguration which was taken by the organization committee when it named the federal reserve districts and cities, is a movement to meet the demands of farmer in the crop transporting period of the fall. While the time is short in which to put the new system into working condition for the next crop moving. Secretary of the Treasury William McAdoo believes that bankers throughout the United States will co-operate with the Federal Reserve board, name directors and immediately subscribe the capital stock of the reserve banks. Should the system, however, not be in working order by crop moving time, Mr. McAdoo states that the treasury department will again send into the various districts all the millions of dollars necessary to move the crops to prevent tight money conditions. Ready for Crop Movement. "The committee is aware that emergency resources for the crop moving period will be available either through the repetition of last year's crop loan or under the Aldrich-Vree-1 land act, which has been extended un-1 til July, 1915," said Mr. McAdoo. "But i it is the desire of the committee to i demonstrate the ability of the new ! system to meet the test of crop move-1 ment without recouse to these emergency measures." ! While ther remains a tremendous j amount of work to be done before ac-1 tual banking businss can be transact-1 ed, through the reserve banks, Treas- ; ury officials believe that with the pro-1 gresB that has been made so far, the ; work of the Federal Reserve board j soon to be appointed by the president, will proced rapidly. Bankers geenrally are not as con-1 versant with the provisions of the j Owen-Glass measure as they should j be. But this is not to be taken as a reflection upon the financial minds. ; Certain sections of the currency measure were clouded by the verbiage used by the framers of the act, and usually many constructions of the sections are given by various experts who have read and attempted to explain them, Sections 19 and 22 of the measure relating to demand deposits, and the prohibitions placed upon officials, dlrectors or employes of member banks, are not generally understood.

The Junior Chamber of Commerce

What would you think of the management of a great business concern that gave away its best and most costly products and then went into the open market for another supply for its own use? Isn't that just what this town is doing? And isn't this town a business concern in the best meaning of the word? Here you are spending thousands of dollars on your schools. You are put ting your children through the best courses of education that can be provided. You are turning out as fine a lot of boys and young men, to say nothing of the girls and young women as can be found" anywhere in the world. Not a word of exaggeration in that, is there? You are proud of your schools and proud of their results and you have a right to be. Now, what are you doing with the boys after you get them ready for the serious things of life? You are sending them out into the j woria tnat otners may prom Dy your work and by your investment. Your return is small. You give away your very best products. After doing that you try to build up j the city! Pretty short-sighted policy that! Out in the country the farmers are trying to keep their boys at home. Their farms wear out and if the boys see no chance to earn a good living from the acres that have grown dear to them, they are going to leave. You will lose them as well as the bo3's of the town. I pity the town and the country that has no young men. Keep your best products at home. Or, if you must trade them off get a proper return for them. Why don't you organize a Junior Chamber of Commerce? It is a practical thing to do and It will pay. They will educate themselves to do the work that you are ARNOLD LECTURE FOR G. A. R. MEET I. B. Arnold, of this city, patriotic instructor of the local G. A. R., will euver ? R,Xan V tt meeting of the state G. A. R. at Indianapolis. May 7. Mr. Arnold has in his possession nearly one hundred flags, about half of which are American, and their predecessors dating back from the banner of Christopher Columbus, when he landed at San Salvador, to the forty-eight stars and thirteen stripes of today. WEISBROD LEAVES STARR COMPANY Announcement was made today that Ray Weisbrod had resigned from the sales force of the Starr Piano company. Mr. Weisbrod has no definite plans for the future. EXPECT 400 MEN Every indication points towards a gathering of about 400 members of Wayne county encampments as guests of the Oriental encampment, I. O. O. F. concluding a series of county meetings here tonight. If that number attends the meeting here, it will be a record attendance for the year. Several candidates will be given degrees and a program as -been arranged after the work. Light refreshments will be served. TAKE GRADE EXAM About sixty seventh and eighth grade pupils from Wayne township schools outside of Richmond took their examinations today at the court house. There were thirty-one candi dates for graduation into high school. About thirty took the seventh grade geography and physiology examina tions.

Board to Aid of Crops Next Fall

ganizatlon committee, however, has put out the "don't worry" sign, explaining that in the near future, correct interpretations of all sections of the act will be made by the federal reserve board and that all the bankers will have to do is to "sit tight" and wait. To Run Affairs. And this in effect is just what the federal reserve board's business will be. It is charged under the law with the administration of the nation's currency system, and in short the running of the financial affairs of the country. From time to time this board will hand down decisions relating to various sections of the act. It also will make regulations governing the conduct of the reserve banks and branch banks that will be established so as to facilitate banking conditions. It will be the governor of the finan cial machinery of the county. No more will Wall street dominate the financial and business affairs of the country, it is hoped, nor will it have the ultimate say as to what section of the United States shall receive the support of the New York financial institutions. These powers will be reserved to the reserve banks, which will control financial affairs absolutely. With this end in view, the organization committee divided the country into districts and the banks in those districts will keep their reserves in these banks. This will take away from New York city, the immense vol ume of money thtt flowed into the metropolis from every section of the country and distribute it among the twelve districts that have been named. Competition will be maintained between the different reserve banks for the discounting- business of the various districts, New York, for instance, may get the business of Florida shippers, but the New Yorkers will have to compete with the Atlanta banks by furnishing a lower discount rate. The organization committee believes that Atlanta will look after its own inter j ests so that the bulk of its business I will not be deflected northward. ! The scheme of opening to the banki ers a new system of check clearances iu uiDjjiavc me l i ct rill, o oirm vi. v ui lections which banks outside of the j clearing house cities have to rely j upon, is expected to be a great benefit j to bankers generally. doing now, and when their time comes they will be better equipped than you are to solve the Town's problems. Not lorr ago Poughkeepsie, N. Y., found itstif prospering in many ways, but changing its character, and not for the better, because its young men were all "going out into the world." Then one day a bright-looking youngster went to Mr. Henry T. Hoag, then secretary of -the Poughkeepsie Chamber of Commerce, and telling him that he had finished high school, asked his advice as to what city he should make his future in. "Why don't you stay right here at home?" asked Mr. Hoag. "Why," said the boy, "I shoud like to stay in Poughkeepsie but there doesn't i seem to be anything here for a young fellow to do. I had an opportunity to take a position but at the last moment the man for whom I hoped to work decided that it would be better for him to hire a clerk from out of town." "Will you take a position here if I will find one for you?" inquired Mr. Hoag. The boy assured him that he would be glad to do go and the deal was made. Then Mr. Hoag began to think about the other boys of Poughkeepsie. The result was the formation of the Poughkeepsie Junior Chamber of Commerce, with a membership of bright young boys, all of them are interested in their town and who are working for it all the time. Several of them had intended to leave Poughkeepsie, but since formation of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, have decided to stay at home. The place now looks good enough for them. They have aided their fathers in bringing about cleaner streets for Poughkeepsie. They have j aided in cleaning up vacant lots, they nave aiueu materially in raising me moral standard of the town. Poughkeepsie is keeping its best nH,,Pt t Ymmo Tt w ,nH products at home men have a better sense of their own responsibilities than have the boys and young men of the average city of its size. It has made a wise move. Why shouldn't this town organize a Junior Chamber of Commerce? START TO CLEAN STREETS MONDAY Although previous to cleaning up week, John McMill, supervisor of city streets, announced today that Monday morning an extra force will be added to the street department. The brick streets will be given another cleaning similar to the last one which produced good results. As the present administration has not given the streets the thorough annual cleaning, Mr. McMinn has no knowledge of the length of time which will be required to do the work he and George Knollenberg, street commissioner, have outlined. The streets will be cleaned first. About cleaning week, the department will be ready to clean the alleys. RICHMOND OWLS OPEN SEASON The Owls are scheduled to play their first game of the season tomorrow against New Paris on the New Paris grounds. The Owls will line up practically the same as last year with Russell Hawekotte on the mound. Lineup Harter, catch; R. Hawekotte, pitcher; Dyer, stortstop; P. Kamp, first base; J. Sittloh, second base; H. Hawekotte, third base; O. Clapp, left field; Ryan, center; Gordan. right field; Moyer, Denny and Peak, extras. EXHIBIT WORK An exhibit of the sewing of members of the Seventh and Eighth of the Earlham Heights township school was shown today at the county superintendent's office in the court house. A number of persons examined the work. The articles, fancy aprons, sleeve guards, Dutch caps, fancy bags, are all hand made. The work is of fine quality and was praise by the vis-

COLORED CITIZENS DEMANDREASONS Ask Skillens, Barber, to Explain His "White Trade Only" Sign.

High indignation exists among colored people of the city over a sign appearing yesterday noon in the window of the newly opened barber shop of Charles Skillens, colored. The sign says: "We cater to white trade only." A committee consisting of C. R. Richardson, Dr. W. W. Anderson and Rev. Ovelton have invited the colored barber shop owner to the mass meeting tomorrow, called for the purpose of protesting against segregation, and ask him to explain his action. Skillens says it is a matter of business and that he will lose some of his white trade if he allows the people of his own race to patronize his shop. "A colored man gets only one shave a week, while a white man gets three a week with a tonic, massage or sham poo," was the way Skillens defended himself. About 150 colored citizens have applied to the committee to have the sign removed. Coming just on the eve of a strenuous battle they are plannong against segregation, and the barber shop being in one of the rooms of the building where the fight is being waged, adds to the fuel. Tomorrow afternoon about four hundred colored persons are expected, besides numerous white people, at a mass meeting in the colored Masonic temple. Isaac Winburn, Walter Dennis and David Hayes will be the leading speakers of the meeting. FIVE WANT P, 0, AT Examinations for Civil Service Given to Applicants at Richmond Office. The office of postmaster at Greensfork is considered one of high honor, as that town was the only one of six that contributed more than two candidates in the civil service examination for fourth class postmaster held in the postoffice here today. There was no applicant from Earlham. Greensfork furnished five applicants; economy, two; Fountain City, one; East Germantown, one; Dublin, one; Milton, two. The Greensfork postmaster, Will Roller, announced some time ago that he would not compete under civil service rule. At Economy, Mrs. Albertson holds the position; at Fountain City, Lafe Harrison; at East Germantown, Frank Gipe; at Dublin, Miss Oler; at Milton, Charles Calloway. The situation at Earlham college is a peculiar one. The civil service rules require applicants for examination for fourth class postmaster to be residents in the delivery limits of the office. As the office delivers mail to the college, there is not an eligible applicant. Finley Newlin, the present postmaster, will hold the office until the civil service commission decides on the case. The applicants were allowed four hours to complete the examination, although several were through an hour before the time limit. TAX COLLECTIONS SLOWJIS YEAR Chamness Predicts Record Breaking Rush As Close of Season Approaches. At the rate tax collections are coming in, the force in the treasurer's office will be unable to handle the rush which must necessarily come at the laiI'd,'"s . S' preaches. Treasurer Chamness stated. If 1Q CO 1 H tha tavQO ivsv hainff nnt1 slower this year than for several years past. Instead of being rushed now, the work is slack and a big majori of the taxpayers have yet to make their appearance. All receipts and duplicates have been made out for some time in preparation of the taxpaying season, which will close May 4 at 9 o'clock. The failure to pay taxes early will result in a hardship not only on the office force but on the taxpayers, as in normal times there is a line extending into the corridors of the second floor of the court house and it is often necessary to stand for an hour before being served. Because of the nature of the tax records and duplicates it is impossible to serve more rapidly, even with an increased force, as there are only two windows through which to transact business. Mr. Chamness estimates that more than fifty per cent of the people have made no arrangements whatever to pay their taxes and about three-fourths of the taxes are yet to be collected. A few have asked for statements and a number have already paid for their receipts. BOARD APPOINTED Judge Davis Names Preble County Visiting Board. EATON, O., April 20. Mrs. Minnie V. Michael and B.

FIRST STRAW HAT HERALDS SPRING Song birds have proved themselves unreliable as weather prophesiers, having come in February Just before most of the season's snow. However. . 1 j the straw hat appeared for the first time today, worn not boldly as in the manner of first straw hats of former years, but timidly and cautiously. The wearer, either by reason of the high wind or embarrassment, was prompted to hold his new lid in his hand much of the time. When he put it on occasionally he was the recipient of the stares of the rude ones who are still sporting the felt hats of the winter. FARMERS BEGIN SPRING PLOWING Because of the backward weather, spring plowing has Just commenced. In spite of the delay, the farmers are not far behind as open weather last fall permitted a record acreage of plowing to be completed, it is said. The plowing done before December last year, was the biggest ever done in this county before during a fall plowing season. This equalizes the late start this spring and puts the farmer on a good basis to start the year's work. GERMANS CATCH FRENCH SPIES MAINZ, Germany. April IS.

Beveridge's Speech. Mr. Beveridge, in his address to the convention, said in part: "Of breaking promises the Democrats in Washington are running the reactionary Republican in Washington a good race. The Democrats denounced Republican extravagance and promised economy. Yet so wasteful has the Democratic congress been that the Democratic chairman of the appropriations committee in open debate on the floor of the house declared the other day. 'Whenever I think of the horrible mess that I shall be called upon to present to the country on behalf of the Democratic party, I am tempted to quit my place. "The Democrats denounced the secret caucus and promised to end it, yet never has caucus control been so secret or boss-ruled as the Democratic caucuses during the last year. The Democratic national platiorm pledged the American people that American ships shall pass through the Panama canal as freely as along any other portion of our coast. If to do this is dishonorable now, it was dishonorable then. If it is a subsidy now, it was a subsidy then. If it is a subsidy today, it was a subsidy when seeking the people's votes, Mr. Wilson endorsed this very plank of the party's platform and approved the very law he now attacks. If the railroads need help let them k .. . r ' VSV KV. V UU VlTTl M.XJM.get that the repeal of the free tolls law means histher railroad rates. "This Mexican trouble ought never J have been allowed to grow. It needlessly has deluged that stricken land ; with blood, needlessly destroyed hun- j dreds of millions of property, needlessly sacrificed thousands of human lives. Scores of American citizens have been willed without cause, their business sacrificed, their property lost. Firm, prompt, wise action would have prevented it all. There would have been no brufal war in Mexico, no slaughter of American citizens, no forcing of Intervention, if the president of the United States were Theodore Roosevelt." Bird's Address. Charles Sumner Bird, Progressive candidate for governor of Massachusetts in the last state election, said: "Business today is bad, worse than it nas Deen ior many years, as evi-1 denced by the large number of empty rreignt cars, tne long list of unem ployed, and the crowded soup kitch ens. J- allures are worse than they have been for twenty years. We are approaching a dangerous crossing, and it is time to stop and listen. The rudder of the states has been unshipped. "Who is responsible? The Republi can leaders who control the policy and organization of the Republican party. If they had not broken their solemn pre-election pledges, a Democratic administration would not have been elected and the business of the whole country would not today be in such a demoralized and desperate condition. The Democratic party cannot escape responsibility for this deplorable business situation which has steadily grown worse since the election of Mr. Wilson." LION KILLS ACTOR LOS ANGELES. April 18. Wm. Warner Kirby, a "movie" actor is dead here today, the result of injuries received when attacked by a lion during the production of a photoplay at Universal City.
