Class of 1914 Marches to Services Dignified by Mortarboards and Flowing Gowns of Black. Dignified by the black mortarboards kind long flowing gowns, Karlham seniors marched in stately body to the baccalaureate services yesterday morning. The annual address was delivered by President Robert L. Kelly on the Chase outdoor stage. He told the graduates their education should have treed them from many fears and suipersitition and that the college expected them to go into the world thinking and observing and ultimately 4o clean up the plague spots.

In his address Dr. Kelly said: "The race is slowly moving away (from fear and in the direction of love. lit was said of the Master of Men that iHe cast out devils.

FARM HAND DROWNS IN SWIMMING HOLE NEAR WILLIAMSBURG Body in Water Thirty Minutes Before Recovered, Precluding Resuscitation by New Lungmotor. Lloyd Morrison, aged 18, employed on the farm of Elvin Oler, two and a half miles west of Williamsburg, was drowned Sunday afternoon near the Bethel bridge, which spans a stream iibout five miles west of Williamsburg. It was the first drowning of the year in Wayne county. A call was m;ide for the lungmotor of the Richmond police department, purchased last week with the Palladium's fund, raised by popular subscription, but as the body was not found until a half hour after the accident, and another half hour passed before the lungmotor arrived, the effort to save the life of the young man with the machine proved unsuccessful, as was anticipated. The lungmotor, however, worked very satisfactorily, emptying water from the lungs instantly and producing such powerful respiration that the chest of the dead youth expanded and contracted so naturally that sonic were of the opinion for a time he was living. Tries Deep Hole. Young Morrison went swimming yesterday with Harold .Manning, Clyde mid Jesse Townsend. Willard Jordan and a few other boys. Near the bridge is a hole about ten feet deep and one of the boys swam Into it and then let himself down, coming up in a second or two laughing with pleasure. Then Morrison swam into the pool and. as his companion had done, placed his hands above his head and allowed himself to go under. Seconds passed and Morrison failed to come to the surface. Then his alarmed companions began to dive for the body, but failed to find it. Finally a rake was secured from a nearby farm itnu unuui miriy minutes alter the) drowning the body was raked out.

Rev. StovalVs Topic "Marriage" -.A.t. ?! .t.A.t. Points Out Dangers of Step

Beware jumping in the dark when tackling the matrimonial problem, Baptist pastor advises Richmond's young men and women, while parents are told to guard their children against alliances fraught from the outset

witn ominous dangers. "The parent who urges a daughter into a marriage with an unfit man on account, of his wealth, is as guilty as the white slaver." This was the statement of Rev. W. O. Stovall in the first of his series of sermons on marriage and the home at the First Baptist church last night. He said that from the beginning God had placed the association of man and I the woman on a moral basis as distin guished from the association of the animals of the brute creation. "It is man's capacity for forming moral judgments that makes the marriage relation a rational rather than G.

MEDIATION HEADUARTEKS, Niagara Falls, OnL, June 15. President Wilson's "mediation war" on President Huerta today faced its crucial point. The American delegates under carefully drawn instructions from Washington made clear for the last time to the mediators that they are empowered to offer none but the name of Constitutionalists for provisional presidency of Mexico. After stubbornly refusing to accept the suggestion of names from outside the rebel party, the Mexican delegates were given the alternative of agreeing to on of the names presented by the Americans or nominating other men provided they are men prominent in public affairs and faithful to Carranza. But they were given to understand that the provisional government must be placed in the hands of the Constitutionalist majority. It was also reported that the name of Raoul Madero, lieutenant of Villa and brother of the murdered president, was sprung by the American as a possible head of the government until an election should take place.

FAMILY TROUBLES LEAD TO ARREST OF FOUNTAIN CITY MAN

Wife Swears Warrant Charging W. A. Reece as Insane and Threatening to Kill Entire Family. FOUNTAIN CITY, Junt. 15. The swearing out of a warrant for the arrest of William A. Reece, a wellknown citizen of this place, by his wife Mrs. Reece, charging him as insane and alleging he had made threats to kill his family; the subsequent ar-j rest of Reece by Sheriff Bayer; the j formulating of a mass of indignant j citizens a short time later in prepara-. tion of a petition to the sheriff and j county officials protesting the arrest : of Reece and asking his immediate re- j lease, and finally a demonstration at , the Reece home between 10 and 11 o clock Saturday night, have given Fountain City the most excitement in a decate. Sheriff Bayer appeared shortly after noon Saturday and inquired the way to the Reece home. The object of his visit, intent on his own affairs, was busily plowing corn. He was wholly taken by surprise on being informed by the sheriff of the object of his call but submitted peacefully to the summons. It was an hour or so later that the purport of the sheriff's visit became known. Linneas Reece, brother of the arrested man and C. O. Woolman, brother-in-law, obtained an auto to go to the county seat to protest against the retention of Reece in the county jail. Citizens File Protest. While these arrangement were being made enraged citizens formulated a petition to the sheriff setting forth the belief that the charges placed against Reece by his wife were unwarranted and unfounded. The petition was hurriedly made up, and left at the bank for about ten minutes, it was voluntarily attested bv (Continued on Page Seven.)

He admitted to the police that he had purchased two bottles of beer, paying 25 cents for them. The raid was made by Officers Lawler and Vogelsong. The private office of Chief Goodwin today looks like an annex to a brewery, five dozen full bottles of beer and two dozen empty bottles seized in the raid being stored there, to be presented as evidence, and then confiscated. Officer Lawler, on whose beat the raid occurred, and who has been the nemesis of north end "blind tigers" for several months, says that he has suspected for some time that liquor was being sold illegally at the Tracey home. He and Officer Vogelsong swooped down on the place without warning Sunday, entering the house by a side door and rusing to an upstairs room. There the Tracey woman and two men were found, also numerous bottles of beer. A search of the house was made and beer bottles were found in all parts of it. Also there were several bottles of beer found in a coal shed. Recently a crap game conducted at this house was raided. S. S. I. A.

Author Wants Letters About Married Life Mabel Herbert Urner, author of Married Life, takes a personal interest in the opinions readers have about the great serial. She has asked The Palladium for issues containing the Judgment of its readers on Helen and Warren. The text of the letter follows: "Editor Richmond Palladium: "Among my press clippings I find one from your paper of June 2, from which I gather that you are running a discussion of 'Helen and Warran.' I would be very glad if you would aend me your paper while this discussion is running, as I like to keep all such letters for my files. "As I went to school In Bedford, Ind., where some of my relatives still live, I am particularly pleased that an Indiana paper and its readers should have such a kindly interest in these letters. Very sincerely, "MABEL HERBERT URNER." Note A complement of Helen and Warren letters was sent the author last week. Evidently they had not reached Mrs. Urner when she wrote the letter to the Palladium. The next installment of letters will be printed tomorrow, .

For the Farmers and Job Hunters

Palladium Institutes Farm Work Employment Bureau 800 Men Needed in Harvest Fields of Wayne and Adjacent Counties Workmen List Your Names. Farmers, Send the Number of Men Needed.

MR. FARMER Do you need dependable men to help you harvest your crops? If so this will interest you. MR. UNEMPLOYED MAN Do you want well paid, wholesome work in the farm fields, helping harvest bumper crops? If so, this will interest you. It explains The Palladium's Farm Labor Employment Bureau plan.

Two hundred thousand men may be needed to harvest the crops in Kansas and Oklahoma, but Wayne, Randolph, Union, Henry and Fayette counties, in Indiana, and Preble and Darke counties in ru; j- i , , , j.. , , Ohio, can spare no men for work in the western fields. In the territory referred to, the largest wheat, corn and alfalfa

CTODS in vears are to be harvested. Within ji Fnrlius of twntv

miles of Richmond there is said larmers tor about 800 hands to and farm labor is so scarce that qualification for employment. What the farmers in that

market place want are good, sturdy, hard working men willing to

go into the fields tor them and do what work is expected of them, j Hundreds Ready To Work. i Although there are plenty of unemployed men in Richmond, j men who for weeks have realized that the industrial depression is i more than "psychological," it is difficult for the farmers to locate ! them because Richmond has no employment bureau. And there j are hundreds of these men whose muscles have toughened in fac-! tory work and other kinds of labor, who are more than anxious to obtain employment on farms, even though it is only temporary, ior the market price for farm hands in this locality right now is) from $1.75 to $2.00 rer dav with room and hoard.

It is the purpose of The Palladium to keep a list of all farmers who desire hands to help them in their harvest work, and also

ty. "Farm labor is very scare although there is a great demand for it. I think your estimate that 800 men can obtain employment on farms in the vicinity of Richmond is too low. "A few days ago when in Richmond I went into a grocery store and chanced to remark that I wanted a few men to work on the farm. Within ten minutes that groceryman had secured five good men for me. One man told me he had not earned a dollar for a month and his family was in great need of assistance. There are many good men in Richmond right now who want work but they have no knowledge where to apply for work and the farmers have no way of locating them. "The Palladium's farm labor employment bureau solves this question. You will do a land office business."
