LOCAL FIRM GIVES PIANOS TO INDIANA EXHIBITION BOOING M a a tbtarr Company Contributes to Success of State Showing at Panama Exposition in 1915. INDIANAPOLIS, July 17. The Indiana visitor to the San Francisco International Exposition next year can lJustly boast all he may please of the civic and industrial greatness of his home state for the proof will he directly at hand, according to State Senator E. B. Stotsenburg, of New Albany, who is a member of the Indiana Pana-taa-Paciflc Exposition Commission. Senator Stotsenburg is on several Important committees which have to do with preparation of Indiana's exhibit ant Ts therefore in position to gain a general idea of its nature and scope. One of these is the building committee, of which Mr. T. C. McReynoW'w, Kokomo, prominent in tracttorfjElrs and various other industries which contribute to the prosperity of "the birthplace of the 'Man from Home,' " is chairman. State Widely Known. The senator in a recent interview, While in the city on some of his multitudinous duties as an attorney, declared that several causes contributed to the success of the Indiana Commission in its endeavors to faithfully portray those things which have reflected credit on the state and brought to it prosperity, with a steady growth in population. "In the first place," he declared, "the material is ample. I doubt very much if more than a very small portion of the population of Indiana fully appreciate how really great and big the state is; nor how it is looked up to by communities of other states. Its geography seems to be surprisingly well known, the more prominent cities being identified by some widely . known Industry, or as the home of some son or daughter who has become distinguished in one of the various jivenues of endeavor. Gets Good Location. "Then the state was particularly fortunate in the site assigned by the exposition management, from its prominent location, with surroundings that will add to the comfort and attractiveness of the well planned building. More good fortune comes in the splendid spirit shown by Indiana manufacturers.

when completed and equipped the building will .'represents. what would mean an investment possibly close to $100,000. The building committee awarded the general contract to a San Francisco firm for $20,597, while the. piling, plumbing and some other minor contracts will run the amount up a few thoueand dollars additional. "It is worthy and just that those who have so far come to the assistance of the Commission, which started upon its task with a total legislative appropriation of $75,000, be given public acknowledgment of their public spiritedness and loyalty to state interests, and I trust the press of Indiana may do this. ' Richmond Firm Helps. "The building stone was donated by the quarries of Lawrence and Monrie counties; brick by the Hydrrulic Pressed Brick Co., of Brazil; tiling by the Denison Tile Co., of the same city; the exterior plaster by A. B. Meyer & Co., of Indianapolis; the varnish by the Lilly Co., of Indianapolis; the stain by the Indianapolis Chemical Co.; pottery decorations by the Great Western Pottery Co., of Kokomo; the plate glass by the Pittsburg Plate Glass Co., of the same city; pianos epecially built for the different rooms were presented by the Starr Co., of Richmond, and the Pack ard Co., of Ft. Wayne; $2,500 worth of shrubbery by Hobbs & Dunn of Bridge port. The names of all donors will appear on a bronze plate shown at the main entrance to the building, as a partial evidence of the gratitude felt by the Commission, which is doubtless shared by every citizen of the state having the true interests of Hooierdom at heart." RIVAL UPLIFT BANDS ENGAGE INJHOOTING Police Detectives and Moral Inspectors Clash in Chicago. CHICAGO, July 17. Chief of Police Gleason today began a personal investigation into the shooting in the "old levee" district which resulted in the death of Sergeant Stanley Burns and the wounding of three other detectives and a bystander. The shooting occurred when rival moral investigating squads under the direction of First Deputy Chief Funkhouser and Chief Morals Inspector Dannenburg met while making raids in the red-light district. Police officials declare the shooting resulted from the detectives failing to recognize each other and not from the titter feeling known to exist between the two squads. BRYAN TAKES UP PROPERTY RIGHTS WASHINGTON, July 17. Secretary Of State Bryan today sent telegrams to Consul Silliman at Monterey and CoroClrs at Salttllo instructing them to tatjflMhe question of protecting lives and property in Mexico with Generals Villa and Carranza. Reference was made to the property of Christian brothers at Zacatecas, who have suffered depredations by Constitutionalists. The secretary said that his telegram applies generally to citizens of all nations and their property interests. No offers of recognition bv this government have been submitted to Genyral Carranza,

P. J, LYNCH TELLS WHY HE'S HOPEFUL

Jim Watson's Choice Deprecates Own Worth in Humble Language. P. J. Lynch, named by Jim Watson as Republican candidate for Congress from the Sixth district, discredited in his home city, representative of the reactionary wing of the G. O. P. party, has the following to say about bis candidacy: "As to my own candidacy, I have been in close touch with all parts of the district and 1 am highly encouraged in the belief that not for myself, alone, or for any peculiar attainments that I may have, or for any especial worth that I may possess, but for the fact that I stand squarely and have always stood for these republican principles so essential to our own welfare, that the farmer with his approaching 65 cent wheat will counsel with the men out of employment, and the business man with his falling off in receipts, and with the combined depression of labor and of business in my own district, I will receive the votes of all men anxious for their individual prosperity and for our national progress, irrespective of party politics, and as the candidate of the Republican party standing squarely on its national and state platforms, I will be elected in the Sixth congressional district at the November election." RUPE STATES PLAN OF SCHOOL BIBLE STUDY1EGAL ONE Local Attorney's Decision Meets Favor of Superintendent Greathouse and Members of State Board. The method proposed by the state board of education to give credit for the study of the Bible by students in public schools is entirely legal, according to the decision reached by John L. Rupe, a prominent lawyer of this city, who was asked by the education committee of the Commercial club to give his opinion in the matter. The plan, which originated by President Robert L. Kelly of Earlham college, ex-member of the state board of education, has also been formally accepted by Superintendent Greathouse and the state" board" 6f"educatloli"asii result of the decision reached by Mr. Rupe. The plan was referred to the state board at a meeting Wednesday, and according to President Kelly, who attended the meeting at the request of the state superintendent, every member of the state board, with the exception of Superintendent Study of Fort Wayne, has agreed to the plan. The Fort Wayne member of the board said he wished a longer time to consider, but would announce his decision in a few days. Criticise Honan. Recently Attorney General Honan, at the request of the state superintendent, gave a legal opinion as to the several points in the plan as had been proposed. He was severely criticised by leading educators in the state because it appeared that his decision was contrary to the spirit of the plan. The educational committee of the Rich- ( Continued on Page Two) FARM STOCK FALLS FROMJTRAY SHOT Owners Suffer Losses Because of Careless Firing by Many Hunters. The warning of state laws that "Whoever while nunting on the lands of another carelessly or wantonly injures any cows, horses, hogs, sheep, cnickens, turkeys, ducks or other property, either real or personal, of any persons shall on conviction be fined not less than the value of the property destroyed or of the injury done" is one which from reports is believed to be unheeded. While farmers have not complained as much during the short time the squirrel season has been open this year as they did last winter and spring it is said that a number of lost pigs, chickens or other live stock and that the supposition is they strolled in the woods and were shot. There is no great number of hunt ers now and it is said squirrels are tnin. While a number of licenses have been issued since the opening of the season, squirrels will not have to fear for their safety this year as much as in former years. The issue of licenses last winter seemed sufficient to provide every hunter, or would-be hunter in the county and from the scrawny appearance of rabbits now, it seems something must have effected them badly. Of late a few wild pheasants have been seen northeast of Richmond. Since there is a law against shooting them now, it is hoped by many that they will breed in this county. The state ash and game department is attempting to spread the birds over the state. LIGHTNING STRIKES . STAJ AT EAR2HAM Standing within twenty feet of the smoke stack at Earlham college when lightning struck it last night, Engineer Johns was uninjured. A large piece of the stack was torn away py ". the stroke. The storm which visited West Richmond yesterday afternoon was one of the most severe of the year, striking a number of telephone poles and putting many instrument out of commission. -

PROGRESSIVES BEGIN

CAMPAIGN EARLY TO ROUT JDLDPARTIES State Conference Shows Ac tivity of Voters in Discussing Issues Worries Old Line Politicians. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, July 17. Pro gressive state and congressional candidates, the Progressive state committee, the executive committee, the advisory committee and the finance com mittee, in a remarkable conference at Indianapolis, last week, went over the practical and immediate political situation; planned comprehensively for the work and for the fighting that lies ahead, and planned for such a speaking, publicity and organization campaign as has never been known in Indiana, the hotbed of active politics. From all sides came the report that the campaign of 1914 already is on, regardless of the wishes or desires of the party organization. The voters are talking politics in the precincts. The voters have turned out in amazing strength for Progressive meetings. Whatever the two old parties are able to do in the way of getting crowds to attend political gatherings, there is no question as to the drawing powers of the Progressive slogan, "permanent prosperity, based on common sense laws." The campaign has started. It is a self-starter. This means much activity among Progressives in ' the next two months, as well as following the regular opening of the battle, in early September. Old Party Not Ready. Old party politicians not being ready for the opening of the campaign, have been thrown into confusion by the developments of early summer and spring. Just at a time when the Democrats are being shot to pieces by the Progressive sniper in the precincts; just when the Republican organization is going to pieces everywhere; just when the Democrats and Republicans are called upon to use all their energies in trying to hold their own fellows in line, the Progressives are going forward with a swing and a cheer to the making of their positive, aggressive, fighting campaign for votes. Workers at the state conference told stories of great positive gains being made in specific cases and have names and details and reasons for the p litical changes they told about. These gainf come from all the-' other parties. They include Democrats, Re publicans, - Soetalistsw&&4.-E fohihitlonists. Democrats have joined Republicans in the shout, "come back!" Progressives continue to say, "come foreward!" The voters continue to respond to the Progressive call, for the American voters, imbued with the American spirit, are bound to go forward rather than backward. HENDERSON EMERGES FROM STORM HAVOC Two Persons Dead and City Mass of Wreckage and Business Halted. HENDERSON, Ky., July 17. The dawn 'of day after a night of intense darkness revealed to Henderson the extent of damage by the tornado that struck the city last night, killing two persons. Buildings demolished or partly wrecked, a net of twisted wires, telegraph poles lying across the street and trees twisted up and hurled prostrate, made a scene of havoc. The electric light system and the street railway are entirely out of commission. Forces of men are engaged in clearing the streets. When the three story building of the Crane Furniture company was blown down It crushed the homes of William Suell, a contractor, adjoining, killing Mrs. Suell and her 14-year-old nephew. Just a moment before Mrs. Suell had called to a neighbor, "I wish my husband would come home, I feel that something awful is going to happen." Mrs. Suell and her nephew died before they could be taken from the ruins. Father Lynch, a priest, crawled over a mass of wreckage to them and administered the last sacrament.

CARBAJAL INVITES LEADERS TO MEET TO EFFECT PEACE Move Regarded as Pledge of Turning Power Over to Carranza's Party to Rule Mexico. MEXICO CITY, July 17. Provisional President Carbajal announced today that he had invited the heads pf the various warring factions of Mexico to come to the capital to confer on the best possible methods of effecting peace throughout the republic. Congress will be dissolved at once as the next step in the remaining Huerta Influence over the' government. " President Carbajal's announcement was drawn up late last night after he had given a reception to members of the supreme court. It is regarded as a pledge that the government will soon be turned over to General Carranza and his followers as the dominant faction. "My sole labor will be to consilidate the nation," said the president in this document. "To this end I have thought it advisable to bring all the different factions together." Whether all the revolutionary factions will accept this invitation is doubtful, but it is expected General Carranza will come here soon. General Velasco, who was defeated at Torreon by General Villa, took the oath of office as minister of war today. His appointment is temporary and he will retire as soon as a man more satisfactory to the Constitutionalists can be found. Government officials refused to give any information today as to the desti nation of General Huerta and General Blanquet. It was announced, however, that General Blanquet had reported their safe arrival at Orizaba. It is believed they will go to Puerto Mexico and there board the British cruiser Bristol, though Sir Lionel Carden, the British minister, refuses to state what plans have been made for giving the retiring president a refuge. FLY WHEEL HURLS MANJEAR DEATH New Paris Man Badly Injured in Engine Room of Elevator. NEW PARIS, O., July 17. Caught and whirled round in the fly wheel of an engine this morning G. W. Richaru had a narrow escape from death. Mr. Richard, senior member of the firm of George W Richard & Son, stepped into the engine room of the elevator, stanuing on a loose board. The plank gave way throwing him sideways into the lly wheel of the engine. When the engine had been stopped and Mr. Richard released he had suffered a fractured arm, and was badly cut and bruised about the face and body. He suffered a terrible shock. He was brought to Richmond by a physician who was called. MEDIATION BOARD TO SETTLE STRIKE OF RAILROAD MEN WASHINGTON, July 17. The United States board of mediation and conciliation will begin work trying to settle the differences between the ninetyeight railroads and their enginemen and firemen on Monday morning, it was announced by the board today. Judge Martin A. Knapp, Judge William L. Chambers and Dr. G. W. W. Hangar, composing the board, said they will leave Washington in time to arrive in Chicago Sunday, so they can begin their effort of trying to prevent the big strike on Monday. The decision of the board to take a hand was made after receipt of a communication from Chairman A. N. Crenholm, of the conference committee of managers representing the roads, who formerly requested" that - the federal government take immediate steps to forestall the strike threatened by the 55.000 employe; "

MAYOR AND WORKS; BOARD WILL INSPECT PIHSBURfS LIGHTS Robbins and Other Officials Leave on Trip to Determine Style of Lamp for Use Here. With the departure of Mayor Robbins and the three members of his board of public works, Alfred Bavis, John McMinn and Charles Marlatt, for Pittsburg today to. inspect two street lighting systems,- one carbon flame lamp and the other luminous arcs, it was generally believed that one of these types of lamps would be adopted

for Richmond's new street lighting i system. Each of these lamps have proved to be highly efficient wherever used. . of the two lamps the luminous arcs, which, he says, give as satisfactory illumination as the carbon flame lamps and are less expensive. Carbon flame lamps which have been considered for use in Richmond are of 10 amp. and are of about 2,000 candlepower. He estimates the cost of energy a year for 350 of these lamps would be about $14,000, with an additional expense of $2,100 for carbon and globes. The two carbons used in each lamp of this type have a life of about 125 hours and it costs about twenty cents to replace each set of carbons. The cost of installing each carbon flame lamp is about $35. Use No Carbon. For luminous arcs the cost of energy per year Is estimated at $8,600 for 350 lamps. If these lamps are adopted 250 would be of the pendant type, to be suspended from poles, and 100 of the magnetite type, to be suspended from brackets attached to trolley poles. Electrodes instead of carbon are used in this type of lamps and the annual cost of electrodes for the pendant type would be approximately $195, while the electrodes for the magnetite type would cost about $240. Electrodes in the luminous arcs have a life of 300 hours. Electrodes for pendants cost 6 cents, for magnetites S cents. Cost of installing the luminous arcs approximate $26 each for pendants and $30 each for magnetites. For the latter type of lamps 100 ornamental brackets would be required, each bracket costing $14, one hundred being required. By the adoption of the luminous arc lamps, which, like the carbon flames, have about 2,000 candle power, an item of maintenance must be figured in not required by the carbon flame. This expense is for rc-ctifiers at the municipal plant. Luminous arcs use direct current while the units- at theplant supply only alternate current, so if luminous arcs are used rectifiers must be provided to transform the alternating current to direct current. x is estimated that the cost of maintaining these rectifiers would be about $3 a year per lamp, a total of $1,050. DONORS GIVE LAND FOR OUAKERCHURCH Mrs. Almeda Wildman and Mr. and Mrs. Alonzo Gardner Give Two Lots. The gift of two pieces of land adjoining the home of President Kelly and overlooking Earlham campus has made possible the early erection of a new meeting for the congregation of West Richmond Friends. Mr. Atwood Jenkins, chairman of the building committee announced today the presentation of the land. The donors are Mr. and Mrs. Alonzo M. Gardner and Mrs. Almeda Wildman. The committee has again sprung into activity. There are subscriptions amounting to $12,000. A modern building such as is planned will cost between $25,000 and $30,000. There will be accommodations for every member of the congregation, every student of Earlham college and a good number of visitors. The site is 107 by 102 feet and negotiations are now on to obtain more ground. No offlicial plan can be adopted for the building until the amount of ground available for building is known. The site is on the east side of the campus overlooking the college grounds. Portions of the lots front on College avenue. DELAY REPAIR WORK ON B0YS1UARTERS "Y" Directors Await Arrival of New Officer, J. J. Somerville. It is expected that a number of new features will be introduced into the boy's department of the Y. M.

We have heard e( elm peeler hogs tnat at one time in early days roamed at will through the forests of Indiana and when settlers were in need of meat they gave chase after the elm peelers. George Johnson says he has seen poor hogs skinning an elm tree. In the spring oi the year when the sap was running the bark was easily torn off, and Mr. Johnson. affirms that it was not an uncommon sight in early days to see three or four. hogs, tagging at a strip of bark that would tear loose thirty feet above the ground. That is why the hogs are called elm peelers. COATS GOES FISHING. Bill Coats is off on a ashing trip over in Ohio. He said, he has caught lots of bass, pike and catfish in the Stickwater run. The largest pike weighed 3 pounds and was 2 feet long. CORN 18 PROMISING. Growing corn looks fine since the rains. CHRISTIAN HEALERS UNDER $300 BONDS MAKE 110 COMMENT Reader of Church, However, Declares Law Holding Them Unconstitutional and Cites Injustice. j Although Mrs. Ada Converse and Miss Edith Cloyd, Christian Science practitioners arrested yesterday on an affidavit charging the practicing of medicine without licenses, refused to discuss the case today, and their attorneys, C. E. Shlveley and R. K. Shiveley, said they had not made enough of an Investigation to comment on the action of Prosecutor Reller, it was understood the defense of the two women along general lines had been mapped out. Attorneys generally, interested in the case because of the several fine legal" points it will involve, were predicting today that the defense of the two women would be about as follews: That neither Mrs. Converse nor Miss Cloyd posed as healers nor attempted healing, either by medicine or by the laying on of hands; that the Supreme Being, who is omnipresent, omnipotent and infinite, has the power to cure, and that they merely served to petition Him to effect cures and to teach those who called upon them to place their trust and confidence in the protecting love of God. Furnish $300 Bonds. Following the serving of the warrants on Mrs. Converse and Miss Cloyd late yesterday afternoon they each furnished bond of $300. John Maag is the bondsman for Miss Cloyd while Frank Price furnished bond for Mrs. Converse. After the two women had consulted with their attorneys this morning R. K. Shiveley said that after a careful investigation had been made of the case he would be prepared to make a statement. Mrs. Converse ana Miss Cloyd had no comments to offer on the action taken by Prosecutor Reller. Prosecutor Reller stated today that no date for the trial of Mrs. Converse and Miss Cloyd had been fixed. He said that recently two similar cases had been tried, one in New York and one in Ohio, resulting in a conviction in each instance. Maag Makes Statement. Mr. Maag, one of the readers in the local Christian Science church, declared today that the law under which the two women were arrested was unconstitutional. He further asserted that in the case of little Catherine Murray, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Murray, Pearl street, there had been no symptoms of diphtheria preceding the child's death, and if there had been a physician would have been summoned in compliance with the provision of the law and the health officers notified so that a quarantine could be established. Mr. Maag cited the fact that thousands of children die every year who receive medical attention, their death exciting no public interest, but if a child attended only by a Science practitioner dies there is generally a great outcry raised. POSTPONE TRIAL FOR P. O. ROBBERY The case of the United States against Fred Curl and Dan Ashby, who are accused of robbing the postoffice at Springport, Henry county, has been postponed until next Thursday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock. The trial was to be held in the office of United States Commissioner Freeman in the Colonial building yesterday afternoon, because District Attorney Frank C. Dailey was not able to be present to prosecute the case, it was postponed. Curl and Ashby are held at the Wayne county jail. CARRANZA TO HEAD NEW GOVERNMENT MOTEREY, Mexico, July 17.
