Ruth Shera Receives Scholarship Honor at Annual Chapel Closing Year at High School.

Emphasizing tba necessity of being physically fit as well as mentally efficient for success in life, Robert L. Kelly, of Earlham, addressed the student body of the high school this morning at the final chapel exercises of the year. Nineteen school letters for participation in athletics, three honor awards for scholarship and the medal, presented to the winner of the Sixth District Discussion contest, were awarded by Principal F. C. Pickell. "It is necessary for the student to conserve his physical faculties if he hopes to attain success In life. Athletics should not be taken as the main aim of the student, as is the case in many instances but it is necessary for the young man to become a "good animal" to accomplish the big things of life," said President Kelly. Robert Lyons, winner of the Sixth District Discussion contest was presented with the G. A. R. medal offered by Superintendent Giles. The three honor students of the school were announced. Ruth Shera took the first honor with an average grade of 94.6 for the term's work. Russell Stout and Marie St. John were second and third with averages of 92.9 and 92.6, respectively.

American-Owned Horse Wins Classic Derby on Epsom Downs

BY LEASED WIRE EPSOM, England, May 27. Durbar II, the only American-owned horse that ran, won the classic derby on Epsom Downs today, defeating the cream of the British turf. Carrying the green and white colors of H. B. Duryea, Durbar II ran a brilliant race finishing amidst a burst of applause In which King George, Queen Mary and other members of the royal family joined. H. Chlomondeley's Hapsburg ran secand and H. J. King's, Peter the Hermit, finished third. Sir John Thursby's Kennymore, the favorite failed to get in the money. A brilliant crowd of record breaking size witnessed the race while more

than 3,000 policemen and detectives kept a viligant watch to prevent militant suffragets from spoiling the race as they had threatened to do. King George took the defeat of his horse Brakespear, philosophically saying "it6 part of the game." The precautions taken to guard the course and the horses against attacks from suffragets were unique in the annals of sport. In addition to the triple barrier which had been built around the track to prevent spectators from getting close enough to interfere with the runners, thousands of detectives mingled with the crowds and sought for known members of the militant women's organization.

MAKRIAG

E EXPOSED

BY LEASED WIRE NEW YORK, May 27. Another marriage between a millionaire and a former chorus girl came to light today when it became known that John E. Liggett, a rich St. Louis man, sailed for Europe yesterday with his bride, who, before her marriage to Clarence Harvey, was Violet Colby, whose ability had lifted her from the chorus to the place of prima donna in "The Merry Countess." Liggett likewise

j has been divorced. The couple were i listed among the passengers on the

Vaterland, but could not be located when the ship sailed. Mrs. Harvey secured her divorce last December and three months later the first Mrs. Liggett secured her divorce in Maine. In April Liggett and Mrs. Harvey were secretly married. The first Mrs. Liggett had been Miss Margaret Gay of Boston, and she was granted the custody of her two children.

COMES TO RICHMOND

Frank Baker of Anderson was in Richmond and Cambridge City today hunting for his 14-year-old son. Forest, who ran away from home because the truant office insisted on his quitting work and returning to his studies at school. The boy left home yesterday morning, and about 10 o'clock lost night wired his mother from this city that he would return to Anderson on an early morning train, but when he failed to d: so his father came to Richmond to search for him. All the patrolmen aided in this search but without success. At noon Baker went to Cambridge City to see if the boy was at the home of his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. James McClelland. The boy had no trouble at home. He wanted to work and study at night, and he resented the truant officer's interference with his plans. He was accompanied here by another boy.

MILITANTS SUFFER FROM AN HYSTERIA

Dr. S. E. Smith, superintendent of the Eastern Indiana Insane hospital, this city, and recognized as one of the greatest alienists in the United States, frankly confesses to the opinion that the militant suffragists of England are insane. He bases this opinion on a study of their actions, which include window-smashing, street rioting, arson and hunger trikes, actions which are foreign to all normal AngloSaxon women. Dr. Smith does not charge that the English suffragists are violently insane. He says they are suffering from a mild form of insanity, superinduced by hysteria. "Hysteria is a form of insanity," explained Dr. Smith, "and it seems to

be growing among the militant suffragists of England." Speaking of the "hunger strikes" of the so-called "wild women," as they are alluded to by the English press. Dr. Smith said, "It would be impossible for any woman to inaugurate a hunger strike in any prison or hospital in the United States. If such a thing were tried the persons attempting to starve themselves would be fed artificially. That's what they ought to do in England. Dr. Smith is now in Baltimore attending the convention of the American Medico Psyschological associa

tion, whic h has just honored him by i

electing him its president for the ensuing year. He has been vice president of the organization, which includes in its membership the foremost alienists of the country. He succeeds Dr. Charles McDonald, of New" York, one of the physicians who decided Harry Thaw was insane when he was committed to Matteawan, as president of the association.
