VOCATIONAL TRAINING MEASIM UPHELD Supreme Court Rules Couni ty Council Must Appropriate Funds.

LAWSON ROBERTSON TO TRAIN ABROAD

' Fanners -who are interested In the future of the county agent work in this county, will note with interest the recent decision of the Supreme court of Ittdlana, upholding in unqualified terms the constitutionality of the Vocational educational law as originally written. The decision was made in reversing the Fountain county circuit court for refusing to mandate the county council of Fountain county to make an appropriation of $1,500 to pay the expenses of complying with the law. The county council attacked the law for numerous alleged deficiencies. The higher court held that the officers of the state and county may be mandated to enforce and apply the law. The matter of making the appropriation of $1500 for county agent work comes up before the Wayne County Council in the August session. Some uneasiness has been felt by those, interested in the work for fear that the local officials would refuse to make the appropriation, on the strength of the fountain County decision. The rulinff of the Supreme Court leaves no room for any further doubt, and the council will be required to make the Appropriation as provided in the law. Coleman, assistant state leader of county agents, in a statement today says: "This will put the county agent work on a very substantial foundation, and will mean greater growth because of its permanency."

PURCHASE PLOWS FOR BOY GARDENERS

When Mrs. H. L. Monarch asked for e hand plow to lend her gardeners, directors of the Commercial club readily conceded the necessity of such an article and took up a collection. The idea of aiding the summer gardening met so hearty a response two hand plows will be purchased, unless an- ' other use is found for the money. Mrs. Monarch believes her gardeners would be far more successful if they had a plow to replace the hoe. The plow will be carried from one garden plot to another and every gardener will be given ample time to use it.

Amusements )

The Francis Sayles Players have se

lected a rather difficult play "Madame X" for this week, but nevertheless they gave a creditable performance

last evenlngi Olga Worth as Jacque

line, Floriot's wife, and later known as "Madame X" has a difficult part and most of the action of the play depends

on her work.

The play was written by Alexander

JJiason. Mr. Sayles as Raymond, Floriot's son, has a number of lines in the Court scene and his delivery is

excellent.

The story is an interesting one telling of a woman who is lured from

home and when she desires to return

to her husband and child is scorned by her husband and refused a place in the home. This all happens in the prologue, and in the first act, twenty years later, the scene is laid in a

cheap room in the Three Crown's Inn

with the action hinging on Laroque,

an adventurer taken by Charles Sid-

dons, and his companion, in whom is recognized slight traces of the one time attractive Jacqueline, wife of

Floriot. The mother tries to shield

her son from knowledge of infamy.

In act two the curtain rises on . a garden in Bordeaux. The settings are

attractive. The third act is in the As

nisie court where young Floriot pleads his first case and which happens to be i that of his mother. She is declared not guilty, and mother, father and son are reunited just before the death

of "Madame X."

Rae Muszar, as Louis Floriot, is one

of the best of the entire cast. He does

; his part exceptionally well. Next week the compnay will present "The

: Final Settlement.

CORONER TO PROBE DIPHTHERIA DEATH Coroner Pierce has had a case of quarantine violation called to his attention, following the death of Catherine Murray, who was not quite four year old, who died of diphtheria last Friday night at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Murray, 428. Pearl street, after six days' illness. The case was not reported to the health office. The child was treated by Christian Science practitioners. During a treatment Friday night the child fell asleep and was then removed to an upstairs room and placed on a lounge. Later the father entered the room and found the child on the floor. A physician was summoned and he pronounced the baby dead, the coroner's inquiry shows. Mrs. Murray had pronounced symptoms of the disease, but is now improving. The parents and the two other children had anti-toxin administered to them. Several people in the neighborhood were exposed to the disease and are now under surveillance. The Murray home is now under quarantine. Mr. Muray is a railroad mail clerk. The child became ill a week ago Sunday. For a time it was thought by the family that she was suffering from mumps.

MACHINE III DITCH; 110 OIIEIIIJURED Hunting Party Has Narrow Escape Over Beelor's Hill Embankment. Only the slow rate of speed of the automobile prevented what might have been a serious accident early this morning when a party of young men

of this city, were on their way to

Brownsville to go squirrel hunting. The accident happened on the Lib

erty pike at the foot of Beelor's hill, two an a half miles south of the city, at about 12:30 o'clock. The automo

bile driven by Ed Young, colored,

skidded into a ditch at the side of the road. The party included Charles Walker, Carl Haner, Robert Stauber, Harry Cox, Louis Muth and the driver. None of the occupants of the car was injured, with the exception of Louis Muth, who sustained a bruised shoulder, caused by being thrown against the side of the car.

The accident was caused by loose

gravel which had recently been thrown on the road at that place, giving way

under the wheels of the car. The occupants of the car stated this morning that the car was going at only eight or ten miles an hour, and to this alone is attributed the fact that no one was seriously injured, for the car skidded down the ten-foot embankment and lodged against a barbed wire fence. The car was hired from the City Garage, 418 Main street, and is an ex

tremely low-hanging machine, which i

also helped in preventing the car from burning over as it went down the embankment. 1 It was found necessary to cut away part of the wire fence and run the car across a field before it could be taken back on the road. The front axle and one of the fenders was bent. When the automobile was being brought to the city it collided with a telephone pole at the corner of Fifth and Main street. The axle was bent so that it was impossible to make the turn at this place short enough.

MUST LIGHT TAIL LIGHTS ON AUTOS "Not four out of five automobiles in this city are observing the state law which requires the lighting of tail lamps on every car after nightfall, said Chief Goodwin today. "This law is to be enforced to the letter in Richmond and further violations will result In arrests and prosecutions. Autoists better take heed of this one warning they will receive."

SUH EDITOR SUES -TO OBTAIN $33,000

INDIANAPOLIS, July 7. Attorneys for the warring factions in the matter of the receivership of the Indianapolis Sun, will appear before Judge Remster tomorrow at 9 o'clock. George H. Larke, formerly editor and manager, yesterday filed suit against the company in the Marion circuit court, asking for a receiver. The complaint recites the history of the newspaper from the time that Larke and W. D. Boyce, as partners, bought it in January, 1913. When they took charge of it the complaint says, it was known to be a losing venture, but they invested $81,500. After opposing the merger of the gas companies last fall, Larke says he advised Boyce that the best thing to do would be to sell their holdings. Instead, Boyce is alleged to have refused to take that view and agreed to supply $1,000 a day to carry out his ideas for three or four years. The Indianapolis Sun Company was incorporated, and the majority of the shares of stock divided between Larke and Boyce. Ousted as Editor. At a meeting of the board of directors last Friday evening Larke was discharged as editor and general manager and also as an officer of the company. According to a statement made in court a resolution was passed to the effect that his management had increased the financial losses. Larke asserts he had a contract for a salary of $12,000 and his discharge was without regard to his rights under the contract, $6,000 in weekly - payments and $6,000 in treasury stock. The company has issued $100,000 worth of bonds, which are part of the liabilities, and the other debts are about $37,000, he says. The expenses are said to be about $200 a day more than the income. The company is alleged to be in danger of insolvency. Larke asks for a judgment for $33,000, the amount he has been damaged by being ousted, he says, and for a receiver.

WILLIAMS HOWLS ON COUNCIL WATER

Safe and sane action for the protection of the lawmakers of the city of Richmond was demanded by . Councilman Oscar Williams at council meeting last night. "There has been lots said about pure milk ordinances to protect the people, but nothing about pure water to protect the councilmen. For some time I have been trying to have that dirty old pitcher thrown away and a water cooler placed in the council room, but without success," Williams informed the mayor. "Microbes of all kinds get into that pitcher."

BOY MATRECOVER Carl Bowmaster's Condition Improves. The physicians in charge of Carl Bowmaster, the eleven-year-old son of Mrs. D. C. Harlan, who was accidentally shot by Perry Sarber, of East Germantown Saturday morning, reported this afternoon that unless further complications set in the boy probably will recover, although his condition at present is critical. He is still confined at Reid Memorial hospital and is receiving the closest attention of the physicians in charge for fear that blood poisoning will set in.

INCREASE III TAX

County Officials Estimate, City Rate for Next Year at $3.30. The consideration of lxing next year's tax rate has not really serious-. ly been begun by the county officials or city fathers, who. however, have hazarded the guess that Richmond'! rate will be about $3.30. There are no figures to substantiate ' this. The state rate will remain the same. The township rate will not increase more than two cents. The city rate probably will not fluctuate. As to tae county rate, little can be said, except that the determination of the county council members to keep taxes down has been expressed. . The rate is now $3.18 and a twelve cent increase would be necessary to bring up to th eamount estimated. Sine ethe county board reviews increased assessments in a number of townships and brought up the total assessment higher than last year, the same rate as last year in the county would bring a greater amount of money. The road tax may be increased slightly this year but the increase will be only a trifle. Last year the total, county rate was fifty cents exclusive ' of poll tax and it is believed by some county officials that by equilization, the rate can be kept very near its present position. The board of reviews which had one of the most profitable sessions of any -board which has convened for years, was paid expense money today. For the session of about twenty-five days, each member receiving $78. Incidentals amounted to only a few dollars.
