$18,200 JUDGMENTS AGAINSJJETTA CO, Court Issues Papers on Suits Against Water Softener Plant Filed by Two Local Banks.

TO CONTINUE WORK C o m p any Answers Complaints in Statements Deri y i n g Allegations Set Forth in Complaints. Judgments against the Fetta Water Softener company amounting to more than $18,200 were executed in circuit court today, and the papers submitted to Sheriff Bayer. The suits were filed by the Second National bank, which held notes totaling $5,500: Union National bank, notes totaling $5,000; Elwood McGuire, notes totaling $4,600, and Micajah Henley, notes totaling $3,300. Some of the notes were more than four years old, and very little of the principal had been discounted. Only a small amount of the money was secured by stock in the company. The company is incorporated and manufactures a water softener device at a factory on North K street. Robert H. Fetta is president, and E. R. Fetta, secretary and treasurer. Judgments executed by the attorneys are as follows: Second National bank, $5,163.97; Union National bank, $,641.75; Elwood McGuire, $4,199.77; Micajah Henley, $3,031.51. Whether the company will continue to do business as previously and make settlement for the outstanding debts has not been made public. It is said, however, manufacturing of water softener devices will continue despite the financial trqubles. The two banks are thoroughly protected by securities. The two individuals who loaned the Water Softener company money on time notes have placed the matter entirely in the hands of John L. Rupe, who is acting as attorney for the four plaintiffs. Walter G. Butler, attorney for the company, filed answers to the complaints today, denying the allegations set forth in the complaints. ERNST FEISE SPEAKS ON ACT JHEBMANS Illustrates His Lecture With Slides Showing Growth From Realistic to Idealistic School. A lecture, illustrated by stereopticon slides, on German art, was delivered this morning before the students of Earlham College by Dr. Ernst Feise, of the University of Wisconsin. A large number of Richmond residents interested in the study of art attended. Dr. Feise showed pictures of paintings and sculpture by German artists, accompanying the pictures with sketches of the work and style of the particular artist. "German art." said Mr. Feise, "is not as well known as it should be among Americans. Their idea of art is usually confined to the French and Italian, but the Germans have produced artists worthy of study and comparison." ' The lecture embraced the important artists from the time of the realist school to the recent idealistic school, as illustrated by the paintings of Stuck, in which the moral aspect is emphasized, and the sculpture and paintings of Kenyer, illustrative of the development of thought and character portrayal. Among the other painters on whose works the lecture touched were Liebermann and Uger of the realistic school, and Boeklin, who was among the first to portray the idealistic tendency.

ADMIRAL H. T. MAYO BOSS AT TAMPICO

Rear Admiral Henry T. Mayo is the commander of the American warships off Tampico, Mexico, and he has notified the commanders of the Mexican gunboats that they must not shell the city under penalty of being blown out of the water. He is in consultation with the commanders of other foreign ships as to the best method of taking the foreign refugees on board the warships. He is reported as already having sixty American women refugees on board his ships. BOARD PURCHASES FLUSHER FOR 1 The board of public works today closed a deal with the Studebaker corporation of South Bend for the purchase of a uniform pressure street flushing machine. The sum of $1,300 will be expended for this machine. It was the most expensive of the four machines on which bids were submitted but after a careful investigation, board members decided this machine "ouid be more suitable for use in the city the size of Richmond than the automatic flushers. The machine will be shipped from South Bend within a short time and will probably be in use on the paved stives of trie city by the middle of next month. It is planned to flush the paved streets twice a week during tne summer months. Dan Burkhardt has been warded the contract for cement walks on North J street, from Tenth to Twelfth, on a bid of 9Va cents per foot. W. R.

SLIGHT JINLY GRAY Not Asked to Help Buy Wedding Present.

That man is Representative Finly H. Gray, of the Sixth congresional district. The reason for slighting the Indiana man is that he refused to subscribe $3 to purchase a present when Miss Jessie Wilson was married to Francis B. Sayre, not long since. Instead Gray gave $5 to charity. This action brought forth comments from all the newspapers of the country spreading the name of the Indiana man far and wide. FLOREY TO TALK Rev.

For Secretary of State, William A. Pierson, of New Albany. For Treasurer of State, John Bower, of Fowler. For Auditor of State, George W. Lott, of Vincennes. For Attorney General, A. G.

Wayne county's forty-six delegates to the Progressive state convention at Indianapolis, returned to their homes Saturday night and Sunday, all well pleased with the state ticket nominated. The bulk of Wayne's vote was cast for every one of the successful candidates with the exception of John Bower, of Fowler, nominated for treasurer of state. In that race the big majority of the Wayne delegates cast their ballots for Harry Brown, of Waterloo, who has been one of the most competent members of the state committee, but they were well satisfied with Mr. Bower's selection. "I think the Progressive party has nominated a ticket which will make a strong appeal to the voters of Indiana," said County Chairman J. C. Price today. "Headed as it is by Mr. Beveridge as a candidate for United States senator, I do not see how it can be defeated this year. Mr. Beveridge is the strongest candidate for United States senator any political party in the state can offer. People of Indiana know of his splendid record in the senate, they know him to be a fearless champion of their rights, incorruptable and one of the most brilliant men in public life. The other candidates on the ticket measure well up to him and the ticket is well balanced geographically. Every delegate from Wayne county with whom I have talked since the convention was delighted with the ticket." Mr. Price also said that practically all the delegates were more than satisfied with the liquor piank in the platform.

POLICE DEMAND TO SEE LICENSES Uneasy and filled with interruptions have been the lives of Richmond automobile drivers who have driven cars during the last few days which did not carry the 1914 license plates. Patrolmen have been looking with suspicion on every machine. Stepping from the corner the patrolman throws up his hand before the coming car. "Where are your licenses?" Then follows a flow of explanations and excuses. But the end is always the same. The patrolmen instructs the driver to get tags by the next time he is seen and returns to his post on the corner watching for other violators. Often drivers are stopped several times in the space of a few blocks in Main street. PAINTS PICTURES FOR J. B. DOUGAN Frank Girardin, a local artist who has a number of beautiful pictures at the exhibit of Indiana artists now hanging in the public art gallery, has completed two handsome pictures for John B.

Mayo, president of the American Surgical association, in his opening address at the convention in New York, declared that a majority of the cases of cancer is directly due to the eating of too much meat. Dr. Mayo said that overeating and poor cooking are the principal causes of cancer. BULLETIN WASHINGTON, April 20.

SKILLEHS DEFENDS BAN OHWII RACE Mass Meeting Adopts Resolution Censuring Barber's Action At Shop.

The race segregation question reached its height yesterday at a meeting which crowded the colored Masonic temple on South Sixth street. As a result there is much heat today among colored people over the question. Charles Skillens, who recently owned a barbershop on South Sixth street, and last Friday placed a sign in his window discriminating against colored people, made a statement in his own defense before the meeting, and spent the entire? day today in consultation with members of the resolutions committee, A. B. Ward, F. M. Oveltoa,and C. R. Richardson. Skillens claims that the last clause in the resolution will damage his hotel business. The resolution follows: Adopt Resolutions. 'Whereas. As our people are striving for education and the accumulation of property and endeavoring to make themselves worthy and acceptable citizens; therefore, be it "Resolved, That we regard this prejudice as unjust, un-Christian and unnecessary. "Resolved, further, that further segregation in Richmond is untair and calculated to engender race discrimination and race hatred, showing a cowardly fear on the part of the majority and consequent unfairness to the minority. "Resolved, further that such discrimination on the part of any negro in business is to be deplored and regarded as thoughtless and calculated to belittle his own people. "A. R. Ward, Chairman, "F. M. Ovelton, "C. R. Richardson." Skillens puts up a good defense in his own cause and as he has been a strong advocate of movements for the betterment of the race, his speech yesterday stirred the colored people who attended the meeting. "I opened up a first class, up-to-date shop," said Skillens, "and I established it on an equal rights basis. I felt that nothing was too good for the people of my race. The first week I had a good trade of colored people and a few white people. The second week, the colored people drifted away and more white people came. The third week I had about three colored men a day and a good white trade but not enough toimake money. Then I saw they would not support their shop and 1 closed it against them." WATCHFUL WAITING CARRANZA'S PLAN Constitutionalists Ordered to Take Tampico Before American Marines Land. CHIHUAHUA. Mex.. April 20. Pro visional President Carranza, head of the Constitutional government, has adopted a "watchful waiting" policy in the crisis which Dictator Huerta has precipitated by by defing the American government. General Carranza remained in his office until 2 o'clock this morning reading dispatches sent from the border, giving details of the break between the United States and Mexico, but refused to make any comment on the situation. One of his close advisors, however, is authority for the statement that Carranza will soon issue a manifesto covering the situation from the Constitutional point of view . To Forestall Americans. Serious complication are threatened by orders sent to the Constitutionalist troops near Tampico to attack the port immediately. It is not improbable that when the marines are landed from the American ships to seize that port they will find the Constitutionalists in possession. It is impossible to conjecture what the result of such a situation would be. Mystery surrounds plans reported to have been made for a conference here between Geueral Carranza, General Villa and Signor Miguel A. Cuna. The last named is said to be a representative of President Huerta. who was sent here from El Paso to ascertain on what terms peace could be arranged between the Constitutionalists and the Federals, so that they migh unite for resistence. MOOSE LODGE HOLDS MEMORIAL The memorial services of the local order of Moose, held at the high school auditorium yesterday afternoon were attended by about MOO persons. H. L. Haywood delivered the principal address. Hicks' orchestra furnished the music. Jacob Rife, dictator of the order, had charge of the services. Chas. Jordan, who was to have given the principal talk was unable to do so on account, of a severe cold. Mr. Jordan however introduced H. L. Haywood who spoke on the work that has been done by the organization in the past and of the lives of the dead members. Of the twelve deceased members of the order, two, Dan P. Marble and Michael Nocton died during the last year. WASHINGTON, April 20. Secretary of War Garrison today tramped down the lid on all sources of information at the war department. Efforts to obtain news concerning orders to troops were fruitless. Signs were posted on the doors of a number of office buildings forbidding extrance except to employes. FLY NEVER RESTS The fly has no day of rest. He'i busy all the time, and his mission in life is to spread disease germs. One comes in the window and stops for a moment on the sugar bowl, cream pitcher or the baby's nursing bottle. Do you know where his sticky feet rested? Think it over and you will soon make up your mind to become an active worker in the anti-fly crusade. The weather is getting warmer; flies are breeding faster; trouble Is ahead if you don't.
