HOKE SMITH SPEAKS FOR REPMEpE Senator From Georgia Defends Wilson's Bill to Force Tolls on Coastwise Ship- . s Ping. . . ,J. -'4fr, 4 . .-,; , ; Y
BY. LEASED WIREJ u WASHINGTON, May 12. Declaring any talk of terminating the HayPauncefote treaty from a legal standpoints is absurd, because it would ter minate the legal right of the United State to possession of the Panama canal itself, Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, in the senate today defended the oils repeal bill. He denied the claim of Boukre Cockran and Senator O'Gorman of New York, tfhat the treaty was meant to appeal only to alien soil, and hence was abrogated when the canal zone became American territory. "We do not serve our country when we aid it to break its contracts and be false to its obligations," Senator Smfth declared. "We make treaties with other nations for our mutual benefit. As a matter of selfish interest it is important to the people of the United States that the United States should perform the obligations it incurs as the result of treaties." Senator Smith discussed the economic phase of the problem at great length, asserting that the coastwise traffic already is highly profitable and would be made even more profitable by the opening of the canal, even after tfie tolls were paid by the ship owners. "It is fortunate that in the present instance we can live up to the fullest measure of this treaty and cause no loss to the United States or her citizens, he said. "By every rule of sound diplomacy and common sense we should make the coastwise ships pay their part of the expense of building and operating the canal." BUST Oil VESSEL KILLS SEVEN MEN, INJURES SEVERAL BY LEASED WIRE .VORFOLK. Va.. May 12 Seven men were killed in an explosion on board the Old Dominion liner Jefferson of Cape Henry last night. Anothsr man is missing. The Jefferson came into Norfolk today with the bodies of the dead. The explosion was due to the bursting of tubes in the main boiler, while the Jefferson was on her way from Norfolk to New York. R. Mitchell, a fireman, is missing. He was seen just after the explosion running about the deck, and it is believed that he jumped overboard and was drowned. The injured, all of whom were badly scalded, were taken to the Sarah Leigh hospital in this city. Little hope is held out for the recovery of two of them. After the Jefferson had left her dead at Norfolk she again set sail for New York. The explosion occurred at 11:30 o'clock last night. On account of over pressure the tube sheets in one of the combustion chambers of the afterstarboard boiler room blew away from the boiler tubes. Scalding water and steam spurted from the breaks. Within a few minutes the boiler room was completely filled with setam. The explosion shook the ship from stem to stern. Some of the dead were so badly parboiled that their flesh was cooked.

TO SIGN CONTRACT Commissioners Arrange for County Farm Lighting. A contract will be signed with the town of Centerville within the next few years for electricity for the county poor farm. The county commissioners, after two years' consideration, voted to take this step. Bids will be received soon for the line from Centerville to the farm, since .the offer of tne traction company to permit the- use of its poles has been refused because of the heavy expense of upkeep.' The line will cut off a mile by running straight from the town to the poor farm through intervening farms. Plans have been made for the wiring of the poor farm buildings. Electricity will be furnished at nine cents a kilowat, with a ten per cent discount for payment before the tenth of each UIUMIU. GLADDEN DEFENDS NEWSPAPER CALLING Holds Profession of Journalism as Sacred as Ministry and Outlines Its Functions BY LEASED WIRE LAWRENCE, Kan., May 12. Dr. Washington Gladden, of Columbus, O., minister and former editor, speaking at the National Newspaper conference at the University of Kansas today, declared the newspaper profession as sacred a calling as the ministry. The four great tasks for American journalism, he said, are: First, to teach the people to avoid exaggeration and violent speech; second, to resist the tendencies which demoralize democracy and substitute the mob mind for deliberate habit: third, to hold popular judgment firmly to the truth; fourth, to turn the thoughts of men more and more from the negative virtue of detecting and exposing the evil to the positive virtue of discerning and praising the sood. FLOOD COMMITTEE ASKS WOO FUND Advises Ralston to Establish Offices and Employ Four Engineers. BY LEASED WIRE INDIANAPOLIS, May 12. The state flood committee meeting with Governor Ralston today asked that the governor provide a fund of $10,000 to start the work of flood prevention in Indiana.

PLAN GRINDING TOOR Richmond Car Riders Long Run. Map Should J. Pluvius decide to decamp from eastern Indiana from Saturday night until Sunday night, one hundred Richmond motorcycle riders will be able to pull off one of their biggest club runs planned this season. The run will be through Liberty, Brookville and Cedar Grove, where noon lunch will be served. The squad will leave the Bowery at 7 to 7:30 Sunday morning. Instead or frowning on sidecars, they will be invited, and it is possible that 150 persons will leave on the one hundred machines. En route, informal hillclimbing contests will be held by those who want to participate, and other j forms of joy to motorcyclists are j planned. There will be a number of riders from out-of-town clubs. They will ride with the Richmond club to Cedar Grove and return. The riders will rest at Cedar Grove for the hard ride back to Richmond. Other short rides havelieen planned, but the Cedar Grove trip is one of the longest and hardest of the season. The hills are steep south of Liberty, and it will be necessary for the riders to have their machines in good condition in order to stand the grind. HONEYMOON JOYS LEAD TO TOIL OF E BY LEASED WIRE CHICAGO, May 12 "I helped my wife when I ran the washing machine for her shortly after we were marrie(j. I used to get up at 4 o'clock in the morning to help her with the washing. Take my advice, and don't let the honeymoon carry you off your feet." With this piece of marital philosophy, John A. Ulrich, an attorney, explained today why he filed a suit for $50,000 against his mother-in-law, Mrs. Elizabeth Ogden, charging her' with alienating the affections of his wifa Mrs. Katherine Ogden Ulrich. "This is a case of too much mother-in-law, too much father-in-law, tqo much sister-in-law, and too much brother-in-law," said Ulrich. MURRAY HEADS BILL POSTERS Bill posters of Indiana are planning to do educational work on bill boards besides advertising for corporations and theatricals.

GET CHARITY EXPERT Club Members Arrange Talk for Monday.
Dr. Frank Garland, national charity worker and expert, and one of the leaders in the reorganization of Dayton's city government under its present plan, has been secured by the program committee to speak on charity organization at the Commercial club rooms Monday night. Dr. Garland was to have appeared last night, but as'ked his release to attend the meeting.; , of the National Charity association at Memphis, of which he is a member. It is believed Garland can do chari ty workers of Richmond more good in their work than any printed information they can receive from other cities although the Richmond Charity bureau is largely made up from sug gestions sent out by the Russell Sage foundation BAVIS URGES HEAT UN1TC0AL TESTS Believes Purchase Should Be Made in This Method In stead of Weight. "The only scientific, practical and business-like way to buy coal is to buy by heat units rather than by weight," Alfred Bavis, president of the board of works stated this after noon at a meeting of the board of works, school board and light plant officials. The meeting was called to decide up the best methods of adver tising for coal and the specifications to be given out. Howard Gluys, chief engineer at the city plant, explained how coal is formed and the different heating qualities of coal. He stated that the light plant will need 12,000 tons of coal in the next year, so rapidly has the business been increasing. Both the board of works and the school board will be advertising soon for the purchase of large quantities of . "c Y. iY ' luo JJJ coal. Besides the light plant, the city ! T W , T WZiZ. ' At the light plant there is a storage capacity for only 3,000 tons. The school board purchases coal for a dozen school buildings. Mr. Bavis discussed the effect of moisture on coal. He stated that a rainfall on a carload of coal enroute means an increased cost of five per cent through the. added weight of the moisture. . The use of peat, hard coal and soft coal, lump, screened and fine was talked over. It is probable that tn a short time, some form of .specifications will have been prepared by. which the city can purchase its .coal by heat units instead of by weight;. that is, the city would agree to pay the coal dealer a certain price per 1,000 heat units, whether the coal to produce the heat units weighed one or ten pounds. The school board may participate in the idea. The heavy storms in southern California during the last rainy season wiped out many miles of trails in the national forests of that part of the state. They, are now being rebuilt. "DREAM SLAYER" EVELYN THAW IN CASE edent of Attorney Delmas, that California lawyer, who never heard 'not guilty' in a court room," said Witty. "He gained the envy of New York lawyers. He built up the defense. It could not be attacked by the state this story told by Evelyn Thaw. "That nasty, bad story has been repeated here. The precedent has been followed for the deflection of justice They know the untruth of the story cannot be attacked. They have deflowered the life of a beautiful young girl to save this creature. "Thelma Keith went on the stand and bared her bosom. . She told the revolting stories. "Paul's lips were sealed in death. "Thelma Keith perjured herself like a lady." - The case was expected, to go to the jury late today.
BOOM C. l JORDAN FOR CONGRESSMAN
Secretary of the Commercial Club Mentioned as One of Five Possible Candidates on G. O. P. Ticket. Five candidates for the Republican nomination for congressmtn from the Sixth district are being groomed, although none of them has so far announced himself for the nomination, it was stated today by L. E. Bowman, of this city, Republican chairman of Wayne county. The prospective can didates are Charles W. Jordan, of Wayne county, secretary of the Richmond Comemrcial club and well known throughout the county and district; P. J. Lynch, of Henry county, Republican chairman of the Sixth district and a prominent and capable party worker; George Barnard, of Henry county, former mayor of New Castle and a son Judge Barnard, who formerly represented the Sixth district in congress; William Risk, of Henry county, Republican congressional candidate two years ago, and Walter Bossart, of Union county. Fix Date Soon. District Chairman Lynch has informed County Chairman Bowman that in the near future he will call a meet ing of county chairmen for the pur pose of fixing the time and place of holding the congressional convention. It probably will be at Greenfield, although Cambridge City was first mentioned. No date for holding the Wayne coun ty Republican -convention to nominate a county ticket has been fixed. This probably will be done at a meeting of the county central committee on May 23, at the court house. It is believed such action will be taken at this meet ing for members of the party generally desire to have the ticket nominated some time in June, instead of waiting until fall. They are opposed to a late nominating convention because it works a handicap on the candidates in making thorough canvasses of the county. The prospect is that there will be a lively contest ror several or the places on the ticket. The Progressive, Democratic and Socialist parties have all nominated their county tickets. CITY WILL CONSENT TO REVISED RATES Bond Prepares Power Schedule to Submit to Utilities Commission. It is quite probable that the city will consent to the proposed reduction of the minimum rate on electric power furnished by the municipal and L., H. and P. company, under the joint rate agreement, from 75 cents, per horsepower per month to 25 cents. City Attorney Bond is now working out a revised schedule on this basis preparatory to submission to the state public utilities commission. City officials have no serious objection to this proposed minimum rate reduction, because there are very few power consumers who use less than the minimum amount of current monthly, and the suggested 25 cent minimum charge will yield a profit of $3 on each connection coming under the minimum rate. All the formalities in connection with the water rate case pending before the state commission have been completed and it is now up to the commission to establish a rate schedule for the local company, which it is expected to do the latter part of this month. DELIVERSJAX TALK Robert Lyons Addresses the Commercial Club. Robert Lyons, winner of the school contest in oratory on a subject of the most needed reforms for a new state constitution, delivered his address last night before the members of the Commercial club, and was enthusiasticall applaude). Some of the points he brought out were entirely new to the members of the club who have made no special study of taxation, and a discussion was started. The seven-minute speech will be that which Mr. Lyons will deliver at j Rushville when the schools of the Sixth district compete for representa- . tion at the Indiana meeting in Indianapolis. The meeting will be held at Rushville Friday. In the development of his speech, Lyons brought out, first, the reasons for his declaration that taxation reforms are the most needed in the proposed new state constitution. He then showed some of the evils of the present system and suggests changes. His delivery was excellent, and he did not use his manuscript. Children's Toilet Articles. Do not let children become lax in toilet niceties. Cleaning the teeth, manicuring, proper care of the hair and complexion should all be insisted upon from earliest childhood until such matters ace inculcated as habits and are practiced voluntarily. A point which falls upon the mother to attend to. unless she has a competent nurse, is the question of towels, face cloths and toothbrushes for the Individual members of her family. As soon as the child needs toilet articlesthat Is. from the day of its birth it should bare a separate supply. A scarcity of towels and face cloths is inexcusable, but many mothers are thoughtless In the matter of towels and face cloths. It is a good idea to have initialed towel for each child, the girl bing taught to do the letters in cross stitch as a pleasant The British admiralty is contemplating the contructlon of a large tioating self contained facatory capable of carrying out almost any kind of repairs to war vessels that can be done withoutdrydocking.
SMASHES INTO DEPOT! SAVESJASSENGERS Engineer Shoots Through Station Hurled on Track by Tornado in Northern Indiana.
BY LEASED WIRE DEWITT. Ind., May 12. The presence of mind of Engineer Suramerville, who sent the the fast fyling ChlcagoIndianapolls passenger train on the Monon through the depot, which which had been : blown onto the trek by a terrific storm early today, probably saved many lives. Summervllle encountered 'the storm a few miles from Dewitt. and while trying to run away from It with his train, came into Dewitt Just in time to see the frame depot torn from its foundation and laid squarely across the track. Realizing that the too sudden application of the airbrakes might buckle his train and perhaps derail several of the cars, Summervllle pulled the throtte wide open and amid a shower of flying timbers crashed through the frame structure without damage of any serious consequence to the train or its large list of passengers. The tornado did estimated damage of a quarter of a million dollars in this section of the country. Much valuable live stick was killed. ASK. MORE LENIENCY BY LEASED WIRE WASHINGTON, May 12. Representing a single holding company, which controlled the securities of gas, water, electricity and steam railway companies in 135 cities through the United States, Bernard Flexner, of Chicago, today pleaded with the senate interstate commerce committee to soften the provision of the Newlands anti-trust bill as affecting holding companies. He urged that the section which -prohibits the sale of new stock ! of a corporation at less than par be amended so that the interstate trade commission could decide in each instance at what price the stock might be Bold. Flexner declared that it has been recognized uniformly that the way to control public utilities is not through competition. He said that the acquisition of the stock of one public utility company by another generally led to cheaper service to the public and that few of the smaller towns could have had gas and electric and street railway improvements originally had the companies not been backed by holding companies.

Instead of Henry Deuker acting as presiding officer, Lawrence Handler will preform that office. Mr. Handley will impress on his speakers, he says, the necessity on such an occasion, of keeping speeches short and to the point. He will have a short verse to illustrate his point. There will be 200 pounds of fish to, be disposed of. Baked trout with, dressing in such large quantities is a rare thing in this city and it will not be difficult to secure enough men to make the fish disappear. Members wish to make plain the fact that the fish and game banquets are open to - any interested men.
whether they are members of the association or not. Tickets will be sold at the door. Following a long eating session, and a short program of speeches interspersed with music by a saxaphone quartet, there will be a social time in the Odd Fellows lodge room adjoining the dining room. It is probable that some member will explain the plans for the beaut ification of the hatcheries just completed. Lilies will be planted along the sides and peonies and other hardy flowers on the banks. This will serve not only to beautify but to attract insects of a kind which bass feed on.
