SCIENCE LEADER EXPL METHOD OF WORK Church Desires to Conform With All Reasonable Laws ; of Quarantine in Contag- ; ious Diseases. R. Stanhope Easterday of Indianapolis, leader in the Christian Science movement in Indiana, has submitted (he following: "Editor the Richmond Palladium jXour paper has within the last few Hays been reporting in a very considerate and acceptable manner, proceedings in connection wim the unfortunate Weath of the little daughter of Mr. and fltfrs. Roy Murray. In a careful study tf these, reports, however, I fail to note tnenraa of one very important point. whicEi''in my estimation, should be touched upon in Justice to the bereaved parents and to Christian Science..; "Infcfcses of this nature the fact is often overlooked that Christian Science parents and Christian Science practitioners are in a position to as intelligently and as promptly detect symptoms of infectious or contagious disease as are other laymen. A further fact, also often overlooked in cases wherein the principals are Christian Scientists, is that Christian Scientists Just as reasonably and Just as willingly as other citizens desire to conform with reasonable laws of isolation and quarantine in the handling of cases of communicable diseases. Desire to Help. "Healing in Christian Science, today as in Jesus' time, results not upon the basis of any knowledge of or diagnosis of evil or disease, but upon the basis of the Scriptural assurance, 'This, is life eternal (including, of course, an estate of health), that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou has sent.' Thus Christian Scientists in their attempt to heal through the one process of prayer 'all manner of disease,' do not have to be physical diagnoticians, and they can no more legitimately be required to be such than can other laymen, upon whom devolves along with themselves the duty by law of reporting and isolating what are commonly accepted as communicable diseases. 4 "Christian Science parents, furthermore, having been the recipients of such in the way of healing and benefit for themselves and their children, reasonably turn in every hour of need to the Divine Source for help, and they can riot, in such reasonable effort to give their children the best, legitimately be condemned nor declared fanatical, nor accused of 'doing nothing' for their offspring, even in cases, of occasional failure to at once and absolutely 'know the infinitude of the Heavenly Father's goodness and power. SincereJy, "R. STANHOPE EASTERDAY.' Wayne township is bonded to the extent of $298,265 for the construction af roads during the past six years. Nine roads have been built in Wayne township during this time with a total bond issue of $345,100. Of this amount, only $46,835 has been paid, according to the figures in the county auditor's office.

Nath Edwards Writes

WASTED SYMPATHY. There is such a thing as wasted sympathy, as the following Incident will prove. Ray Swallow said there rushed a man into the bank one of these scorching hot days, whose shirt was wringing wet, and a few minutes later entered a woman who was impressed with the idea that the man was a day laborer and had worked so hard as to cause a great flow of perspiration. She said: "Mister, you have my sympathy. The man then started to leave the bank, and as he stepped out of the door he looked back with a grin and said : "My daughter just now threw a bucket of water on me." APPRECIATES GIFT. We received a dozen of lovely water illies that were sent from Lake Hamilton, Saturday. CHURCH HOLDS MEETINGS. Last Sunday marked the beginning of a series of special services at the Friends church, which will continue for several weeks. THRESHING BEGINS. Al Cox's threshing rig and crew, of near Hagerstown, will commence threshing for the Stringtown people, Tuesday. W, A, BOND EXPECTS INCREASE OF WATER RATES FROM APPEAL City Attorney Believes State Commission Will Allow Higher Charge to Cover Raise in Taxation. In the opinion of City Attorney Bond the Indiana Public Utilities com mission will act favorably upon the petition of the Richmond City Water Works company to provide more revenue for it to make up for the increase in the company's tax assessment which is about $3,000 more than tne amount estimated by the commission in fixing the company's schedule of fixed charges. "I anticipate a slight increase In rates to meet the company's petition for a larker revenue because of the increase in its taxes," said Mr. Bond today. "However, I have not the slightest idea how the commission will proceed to provide for this additional revenue. - No suggestion was made .to the commission by the company's attorneys." Mr. Bond said the consumption' of water was increasing each year a little over two per cent and he told the members of the state commission that in his opinion this steady increase in the company's business would, within" a year, make up for the additional tax it is required to pay and provide the revenue the company is legally en titled to. i Expects An Increase. This suggestion, however, was not received favorably by the commissioners, Mr. Bond admitted, and for that reason he believes it to be a certainty tnat a slight increase will be authorized. Apparently the company will be entirely satisfied if a small increase in rates is provided and is anticipating such action on the part of the com mission for it has made no effort to appeal the action of the taxing board of Wayne county, doubling the company's assessment, to the state taxing board. Mr. Bond is just as well satisfied that the company has taken no appeal to the state tax board because he sees a possibility of that body placing an even higher valuation for taxing purposes on the water works plant than fixed by the county taxing board, wnich was nearly $200,000 less than the actual physical valuation of the plant as determined by the state commission. In the event the state taxing board should increase tae tax of the water works company it would mean an additional rate increase, Mr. Bond points out. BECK TO INSPECT ALL RURAL ROUTES Postmaster Will Require the Proper Placing of Boxes and Road Repairs. Persons on rural mail routes whose boxes do not comply with the requirements of the law will receive notice of the fact from Postmaster Beck soon. Mr. Beck started this morning to go over all rural routes on trips of inspection that he may require improvements in general conditions which will make efficient and quick delivery of mail possible when winter comes. With the exception of a few places which have been washed out by recent rains, he found the roads on the routes carried by Joe Peltz were in excellent condition. He made note of all bad patches of roadway which will need repair, and will take the matter up with township trustees. Many persons served by rural carriers, Mr. Beck says, are careless about placing their mail boxes. The postal law reads that carriers may bring mail back to the office undeliv ered unless boxes are placed in such a way that: the carrier can reach them from his wagon and deposit the inaiL Few of the men, however, take advantage of this, and often drive to the side of the road to reach the box, trying to be as courteous and give as good service as possible. Mr. Beck will notify each person whose box is not close enough to the road that he will have to move it or repair the road so the carrier can reach the box if he expects regular deiliyeries dulgthe coming winter, -

GILES PLANS CHANGE TO CONNECT GRADED

SCHOOLS WITH HIGH Superintendent to Place First Year of Advanced Work at Garfield After New Addition. A radical change in the school system is imminent in the near future, acording to Superintendent Giles. Garfield and the high school will bo affected by the revision which will soon be necessary because of crowded conditions at both school buildings. By the change the high school course will be sh'ortened to three years, while the work at Garfield will be increased a year. This will not shorten the time the pupils must spend to pass through the graded and the high school, but divides the time of the last six years equally between the high school and Garfield, which will become a junior high school. Because both buildings are crowded to their capacity, Superintendent Giles said today, one or the other of tho structures will have to be remodeled soon. The Garfield building lends itself more readily to this program. With an addition the first year of the high school course would be transferred there and additional elective subjects added. This would enable students to take more high school work at Garfield, providing they are able to carry it. Reason for Change The reason for this change is twofold, said Prof. Giles. It would eliminate the gap between the high school and the grades, which many students never succeed in leaping. Feeling that tne course was without a break a greater number would pass on from Garfield through the high school without dropping out. An effort to blend the two departments closer together during the last few years has been the reason, according to Superintendent Giles, for having no comemncement exercises when pupils finish the work at Garfield. Additional courses in event of a change would deal largely with manual training. This, Prof. Giles believes, would attract students who are counting on quitting at the end of the eighth year, and if not the means of keeping them in school would be of great benefit to them when they quit. Prof. Giles' plan includes a re-organization of the teaching corps when the shift is made in the high school course. CITY WORKS BOARD READY FOR BIDS ON ' NEW STREET LIGHTS Bids for arc lamps to illuminate the streets of Richmond will be received by the board of public works Thursday morning of this week and the indications are that bids for every kind of a street lamp on the market will be entered, although, apparently, the choice of a type of lamp has narrowed down to a section of either luminous arcs or carbon flames, which have given the most satisfactory service in the cities visited by the Richmond officials recently. "Four things will be taken into con sideration by the board of public works in selecting the type of lamp for Richmond's new street lighting system," said Mayor Robbins today. "First, the efficiency of the lamp will be considered; second, the cost of in stallation; third, the life of the lamp, and fourth, the cost of their maintenance. The lamp which best meas ures up to such a test will be the one selected." From what they have seen of modern street lamps the city officials be lieve that either the carbon flame or the luminous arcs will meet these re quirements in the most satisfactory manner. Yesterday Mayor Robbins and Bavis, McMinn and Marlatt, of the board of public works, returned from a two days' visit in Pittsburg, where they made a careful examination of that city's street lighting system. Nearly all types of lamps are used there, but the carbon flames and the luminous arcs are in most general use. i Both Mr. Bavis and Mr. McMinn said today that so far as the illumination of these two types of lamps was concerned both were practically equal, giving out a steady, far-reaching and softly brilliant light. Street lamps will not be suspended over Main street as at present when the new lighting system is installed, but the board has not yet decided whether the lamps on these streets shall be attached to trolley poles by means of ornamental brackets, or whether they will be placed on ornamental posts. DIRECTORS OF PARK SET ELECTION DATE Work of the Morton park board of directors was reviewed today and plans outlined for the coming year. Little of a definite nature was done since the present board will probably be replaced by a new set of officers following the annual election which is set for the first Monday evening of August. Directors believe the extension of the street car line to the entrance of the park will be made this autumn without fail. Definite promises have been made by the traction officers that work on the line would begin as soon as the contractor for the cement highway had Nineteenth street in condition for the company's workmen to lay track.

Lad Throws; Ball Fractures Arm

Louis Rlpberger, 16 years old, did not know that he had brittle bones until he attempted to throw an ordinary baseball a short distance yesterday afternoon while playing catch with friends in front of his home, 331 South Ninth street...: . .. A toss of the ball across the street snapped his arm as if it were made of chalk. The fracture caused a sharp sting in his arm. He believed he had strained his wrist. Cyril Fitzgibbons and other friends gave first aid to their injured companion. With the arm dangling limply at his side, Ripberger was assisted to his home. His mother found she could lay two fingers in the fracture.. A physician's diagnosis established that the arm had been fractured. HAAS URGES CARE CHANGING CITY'S SYSTEM LIGHTS Says Dissatisfaction Exists Among Persons Studying Some Proposals Made by Boardof Works. BY E. M. HAAS. The proposed new lighting system for the city will be discussed by the committee on public improvements of the Commercial club this evening. This is a matter that will involve an expenditure of from $10,000 to $12,000, and nothing in the way of a public improvement will be so conspicuous as this, and therefore, no mistake should be made. The very latest in illumination should be installed. Our city is many years behind in street lighting. Almost every village has ornamental lighting and it would be unfortunate and unwise in installing something inferior and less ornamental than our smaller neighboring cities and villages. There is considerable dissastisfaction by those who have studied some of the proposals by the board of works. It is not thought that placing lights on trolley poles would be satisfactory while it would be cheaper to install it would also have a much cheaper appearance and would require the stringing of additional wires overhead on Main street. Pole Distances Vary. Trolley poles are unevenly distributed, some blocks will have three lights -on each side, and some have four. The two blocks in the heart of the city between Seventh and Ninth streets will only have three lights each, while the blocks on either side of these would have four each. When it comes to side streets where a business district also calls for similar light the trolley poles are composed of iron, wood or concrete and the brackets could not be used, and on other streets no poles exist. It is feared by some members of the committee that our citizens are not as well informed as to this important public improvement as they should be, and if the proposed plans are carried out there will surely fol low a large amount of criticism which might be avoided if the public man! tested proper interest at this stage of the proceedings. Public Meeting Wanted. The Commercial club had suggested tuat an expert illuminating engineer be employed by the city to work out plans for proper lighting, but, as this was not deemed wise by the board of public works, it is now suggested that a public meeting be called either by the board of works or the club for the purpose of fully discussing the light question. The committee feels assured that the board of works is endeavoring to do the best thing for the city and will be entirely willing to take the public into its confidence on this important matter. As the bids call for various forms of lighting and manner of installation, and no contracts will be awarded for at least ten days after the opening or bids, it will give ample time for the public to be heard, if they desire. The board has invited the committee to be present when the bids are opened. SURPRISES CHURCH WITHJRGAN GIFT Silas Zeller Presents Second Presbyterians With Small Instrument. Members of the Second Presbyterian church, who recently postponed the purchase of a new pipe organ, were surprised yesterday at the morning service by the presentation of the organ which was formerly used in the Fifth Street Methodist church. The instrument was the gift of Silas Zeller, and had been installed in the auditorium during the the week by Prof. Wood. During the pastorate of the Rev. E. E. Davis the church has taken on new life, increasing its membership fifty per cent. Three persons united with the congregation yesterday and nine joined the previous Sunday. The Rev. Mr. Davis attributed much of this growth to the aims and motives which have been adopted. Three words characterize the work, democracy, efficiency and loyalty. A movement is on foot to make the congregation more altruistic by constantly bearing before its mind the - thought of others. In his morning sermon Sunday the Rev. Mr. Davis described Barnabas as the man who became a typical Christian. Barnabas, he said, is the kind of man the country needs today. He described the' disciple as a cheerful, thoughtful, influential and ' sacrificing massLmOfj --------

IN STYLISH ATTIRE CAILLEAUX WOMAN ENTERSjJFE .TRIAL Murderess of Calmette

Breaks Down When Jury Is Obtained to Try Murder Charge. PARIS. July 20. Fresh from the hands of a beauty doctor Madame Henrietta Cailleaux, wife of Joseph Cailleaux, former French minister of finance, was placed on trial today, charged with shooting to death Gaston Calmette, editor of Le Figaro, as he sat at his desk on the evening of March 16, last. The palace of justice bristled like a fortress with armed troops, as the beautiful and statuesque prisoner was led from her cell in the basement of the court house through secret doors and passages to the court room. During the night she occupied a cell adjoining that which held Marie Antoinette in the days of the French revolution. The intrigue of love and politics which lay behind the assassination and the wealth and social position of the prisoner tended to elevate it to a position to attract great attention. Wears Modish Gown. The prisoner wore a gown of modish cut and her mass of blonde hair was bound into an elaborate coiffure. The enormous crowd which filled the street in front of the palace of justice, and adjoining streets, were jammed with a mob which fought and jostled to get as near to the court of juBtic as possible. Although no women were expected to be admitted to the court room, many of them gained entrance by posing as newspaper reporters. Several thousand police and soldiers patrolled the neighboring streets. Seventy-five witnesses will be called. Of these, fifty-four will testify for the prpsecution, ten will testify for the defense and the remaining eleven will be called in behalf of the Calmette family to refute any charges that might be made against the private lift of the dead journalist. Obtains Women Lawyers. With premeditation, death sentence can be passed upon the prisoner. Any other verdict would entail a term of penal servitude. WThen the world famous trial got under way, wagers were made that Madame Cailleaux would be acquitted. A deposition in behalf of Mme. Cailleaux, made by President Poincare, will be introduced. This is the first time in the history of the republic that a president has testified at a murder trial. Two women lawyers are associated in the defense of Madame Cailleaux. It required little time to select twelve jurymen. Mme. Cailleaux -broke -down after the jury had been secured. The prisoner leaned forward, her head resting upon her arm and broke into a fit of passionate sobbing. After the court had completed the reading of the indictment, Mrs. Cailleaux was given permission to address the jurors. She had prepared a long, rambling statement, written in her own hand, explaining how she had been led to shoot Calmette. Mme. Cailleaux pleaded the unwritten law in be half of herself, declaring that she had been actuated in shooting Calmette because she feared that he was about to publish some of her private corres pondence with a view to compromising her honor. "I feared Calmette was going to publish love letters written to me by my beloved husband, declared the prisoner. "I was moved to defend my name and the honor of my husband We had not been guilty of any moral crime, I had feared that misconstruction might have been put into the letters." RIG CROPS 111 WEST HELP TO RICHMOND SAYS FRANK TAYLOR Tremendous crops of wheat and corn in the middle and far west states are bound to rebound to the prosperity of factories in Richmond and elsewhere, according to Frank Taylor, cashier of the First National bank, who returned Saturday' from a trip through the west. "Farmers in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri point to fields that assure one of the largest corn crops harvested in many years," said Mr. Taylor. "In many sections the corn crop will be twice as large as the annual yield in the last decade. "Never have crop conditions in the corn belt been as promising as they are now. I never have seen such good stands of corn as I examined in the middle west states. The wheat outlook is just as good and western farmers are exceedingly optimistic. Richmond Gets Benefit. "The reflex of the good conditions in the big corn belt will be felt in Richmond. The big concerns manufacturing agricultural machinery who depend mainly upon whether the farmer has had a successful season are bound, in the very nature of the case to feel an impetus in business. "As far as I could judge the feeling of depression has left the west, and farmers and business men are anticipating a general and far reaching resumption of active business undertakinks. "I had occasion to watch many pieces of Richmond made machinery working in the harvest fields, and farmers told me ' they . find that the machinery works better and lasts longer than that made by other factories."

TARANTULA FRIGHTEN8. A large tarantula spider was captured at the O. C. Thomas grocery after it had emerged from a, bunch of bananas and had been crawling about among goods on the shelves. The find caused many cold chills to attaches of the store who handled the bunch of bananas three different times before the "bug" was discovered. The specimen is a good-sized one, the legs measuring several inches from tip to tip. It has been kept alive in a glass jar. DIPHTHERIA QUARANTINE. Stanley Hall, a young farmer residing on the Thomas farm, near the county line, north, is ill with a severe case of diphtheria. Mrs. Hall has just recovered from a light attack of tho disease.

The preliminary hearing in the quiet title proceedings entered in the Wayne circuit court by Stephen Thomas to secure possission of the Pleasant Plain school property, set for last Saturday, did not come up at that time. A petition that the school district be not abandoned was circulated among the voters of the district last week, and was signed by nearly every one to whom it was presented, some signing as "reconsidered" who had gone on Mr. Thomas' petition to abandon the district.

"If any person, having misinterpreted the theme, is present expecting to hear a scathing denunciation of some one, an attack on the dance or a recital of some tragedy that would harrow the feelings of any one, he will be disappointed, for the sermon will not contain anything of that kind. Should suf h a one be present, he may leave during the singing of the next song. "Jehu, the commander-in-chief of Jehoram's army, was known as the mad driver.

BODY OF. WINTERS GIRL DISCOVERED HEAR CHAMPAIGN! Cemetery Sexton Identifies' Father, But Undertaker Discredits Story of Find of i ' Corpse. , BULLETIN. r. CHAMPAIGN, III, July 20 -V Tht mystery surrounding the identification of the body of girl . exhumed from ML Hope cemetery and believed to be the missing Catherine Winters, was deepened this afternoon when Sexton Theo- . dor Brown returned from New , Castle, Ind., and announced that he had positively identified Dr. William A. Winters, father of the girl, as the man who brought the body to Champaign. CHAMPAIGN. 111.. July 20. The story that a body was found in a cemetery here had been partially identified as that of Catherine Winters, daughter of the New Castle (Ind.) dentist, was utterly discredited at noon today by the statement of Undertaker Guy Stewart, who said that the body was that of a daughter of Nicholas Larry, a

man too poor to provide a last resting place for the girl in the better section of the cemetery. Sexton Brown, who went to New Caslie, Ind., supposedly to search for the man who had brought the body to the cemetery, returned from Indiana this morning. "There is absolutely no foundation for the story that this body is that of the missing Winters girl." said Undertaker Stewart. "In April. 1913. Nick Larry of Urbana, brother to a man recently murdered there, came to me and asked that I take charge ot the body of his child and place it in the receiving vault here. Larry Had No Money. "The casket in the box was marked Larry, and was only two and one-half feet long. It was certainly not more than three feet long. Larry told me that he had taken the child to Florida because it was so sick, and that it died there. He purchased no lot, because of his inability to do so, and for that reason the body of the little girl was placed in a receiving vault. Tt was there ever since, until recently when it was placed in the potter's field. Larry has paid no charges for the storage of the body in the receiving vault. I did not see the body, but this morning I have fully identified Larry as the man who came to me. This was the only body received at that time, so I see no earthly reason for any connection with the Winters case. WINTERS BECOMES PEEVED. Father trXSitT TTghts With Inquisitive Deputy Sheriff. NEW CASTLE. Ind.. July 20. Detective T. J. Romain, a member of the New Castle police force, today refused to believe that the body found in Urbana was that of Catherine Winters. He declared that he has the goods and that he will send a party of New Castle citizens to Urbana tomorrow iu an effort to identify the body. Dr. Winters and a deputy sheriff narrowly escaped a fistic encounter this afternoon on a down-town street corner. "I want you to keep out of this cast from now on," shouted the dentist, when he met the officer, who replied that if Dr. Winters was showing the proper spirit he would be glad to have the county officials take an interest in the case. "You're in the class with the rest oi the tin-star detectives who have been working on the case," replied Dr. Winters. Several citizens and a policeman interrupted the quarrel and prevented an encounter. Dr. Winters left at noon for Indianapolis. Before leaving he said he was going to Urbana, 111. Mrs. Winters, stepmother of the missing girl, left at the same time for Muncie, Ind. DOUBTED BY GORMON.

Richmond's Former Police Chief Dls credits the Urbana Story. Alex Gormon, former chief of police, though not employed in the search for Catherin Winters, is taking a great deal of interest in the case. He does not believe the body at Urbana. 111., is that of the missing New CaBtle girl. "Of course, I have not seen the body," said Mr. Gormon, "but common sense would lead me to believe that it is not the missing girl. I heard the rumor of finding the body yesterday. It looks a little strange that the body would be there for more than a year and nothing said about it when the whole country was searching for Catherine Winters, and then all of a sudden the body is found and the announcement is made that it is the body of Catherine Winters. "Why was the fact of the body being brought there and buried not made public long before- this? 'To be sure, I have no right to say that it is not the -body of Catherine Winters, because I have not been oves there and have not made any invests gation of the situation, bat to me it looks as if another mistake in identification had been made. "If the body is that of a light-haired child, as I understand, why. that settles it. because Catherin Winters had very dark hair. Bat the strongest argument to me that it is not Catherine Winters is the fact that the body has ' been there so long and its location was kept secret during the country-wide search for the child. ' S "Every newspaper in the country told of the missing girl, and yet those in possession of the information that a body had been left there and not called of and then buried Jn the potter's field, never made. public until now. It does not look reasonable. "Your theory is that the body Is a plant?'" " J i ' - .- "I do not know what yon- mean by a "plant In thia connection." ..v.- v .
