RELLER TO FORBID SALE OF CIGARETS TO BQYSJJNDER 21 Prosecutor Starts on Crusade Against Dealers and Threatens Prosecution for Minors Smoking "Pills." Willie, chuck your "coffin nail." If you don't you'll go to jail. Prosecutor Reller today dragged out a musty law book in which appears a Btatute. almost forgotten from nonenforcement, prohibiting the sale of cigarets or cigaret papers to any one under 21 years of age, and ProhlDl""? , minors from smoking the little white nicotine sticks. . Dealers convicted of selling cigarets ' or cigaret papers can be fined from si i to $100 and the same fine can be administered to any person under 21 ' yers of age caught smoking cigarets. After locating the statute Prosecutor Reller told Chief Goodwin that he would from this time expect it to be . enforced to the letter. , Within a few minutes after the edict bad been issued three boys, the oldest sixteen, were caught luxuriously inhaling cigarets manufactured from

"makings" and were greatly aBiomial when informed that they were violating the law. They said they had been purchasing papers or cigarets without difficulty in any cigar Htore ihey chanced to select for their pat- . r on age. After receiving a curtain lecture from Chief Goodwin the ooys were dismissed. They got off lightly . because they were the first, victims of .the anti-olgaret crusade. Future viola- , tors of the edict will be prosecuted. Mistaken In Law. , "f believe that dealers who have '. been selling cigarets to minors have not been familiar with the law," said ' Prosecutor Reller today. "It has been the popular supposition that the law ; prohibited the sale of cigarets to roin- ! ors under 16 years of age, even the police believing this to be the law. There have been some dealers, however, who ' have apparently labored under the impression that there was no age limit because there are quite a few boys In the city between ten and sixteen years , of age who are now addicted to the cigaret habit. i "All dealers have been notified that in the future-they must not sell cigarets or cigaret. papers to minors and I 'think tbey will comply with the law without exception. When minors realize thaf they themselves will be prosecuted if found smoking cigarets I apprehend no difficulty in stamping out this evil." The prosecutor says that a few days ago a woman called to his attention the large number of boys, many of tender years, who could be seen on the streets brazenly smoking cigarets and be immediately decided to enforce the cntl-cigaret law to the letter. JOHN ORLEY MEEK FOUL PLAY VICTIM Foul play is believed to be the cause of the death of John Orley Meek, a contractor of Hammond, Indiana whose body was brought to this city this morning and buried in Earlham cemetery at 3 o'clock this afternoon. He was the father of Mrs. Thomas Higgs,. 910 North Tenth street. He is also survived by his widow and three children, living at Hammond. The fu- j neral services were held this afternoon j at the Doan and Klute undertaking i parlors. His father is John Meek, oft Orange, Fayette county. ' T r r . i l i i : j ! i I xi e itii ma uuuie r nutty lmeumng to go to Peru to meet his children. His body was discovered accidentally by some men who were motoring up the river in a launch. Meek's clothing caught on the rudder of the boat and when the men began to investigate the supposed accident to the launch, the body was found. Several hours before Mr. Meek left Ms home, he was paid $1,000 due him on. a contract. It is thought probable tht some person attacked him for the ' purpose of robbing him. TO FOR ELKS Richmond lodge of Elks tonight will have as its guests one hundred or more members of the Richmond Maennerchor, Eastern Indiana's oldest and best-known German singing society. The affair is to be held out-of-doors, the lawn oil the 'south side of the club house having been prepared today for the entertainment of the guests. In addition to an elaborate luncheon, the Maennerchor is to favor the Elks with some stirring music, and just now when the thoughts of the Maennerchor members are with the Fatherland, there probably will be some stirring renditions of Germany's patriotic airs. CAPTURE STEAMER. OTTAWA, 'Ont., Aug. 5. The German steamer Wlllehad is reported to have been captured early today by a British cruiser between Newfoundland and Cape Breton.

BANKS AND STOCK EXCHANGE III CLASH

NEW YORK. Aug. 5. The 'New York Btock exchange, suffering enormous loss to its members through inability to operate, is today apparently approaching' a clash with the banks. The attitude of the brokers to the money kings is as yet one of "wanting to be shown," that the bankers are as secure as has been olaimed, but they make It evident that if the money supply is abundant, they want to .be enabled to resume business." The sub-treasury continues to issue emergency currency, while declining to name the bank or the amount of money given them for circulation. Up to today over $15,000,000 of the currency had been taken to New York. ENGLAND AT WAR DECLARES AS0U1TH LONDON, Aug. 5. Premier Asquith formally announced in the House of Commons this afternoon that England was at war with Germany. He stated that the British ambassador at Berlin received his passports last night. The Premier asked the parliament to vote credit for $500,000,000. This will be used in paying the cost of mobilization and preparation for actual warfare. The premier stated that the vote would be taken tomorrow. DISCUSS CUT' PLANS Women of the city who are interested in sending to the Panama-Pacific exposition something which is the result of their own skill, have been asked by Mies Edna Johnson, chairman of the Federation of Clubs, to meet tomorrow morning at the home of Mrs. M. P. Johnston on North Tenth street. Mrs. Strong of Indianapolis, who has been officially appointed to collect material for the Indiana exhibition at the exposition, will attend the meeting. Mrs. Strong is conducting the work for the Indiana Panama-Pacific Exposition commission. Arts and crafts exhibits, pottery, china, needlework and jewelry will be sent to San Francisco to be placed on j exhibition. Mrs. Strong will enlist the aid of local women in securing a collection from this city. JAPAN FAVORS PEACE TOKIO, Japan, Aug. 5. That Japan if compelled to intervene would protect the British colonies, but under no circumstances would she send a fleet or any army to Europe was the declaration of Count Okuma, the Japanese premier in an interview today. He added that Japan would have been pleased to join the United States In her efforts to settle the present conflict had not the fact that the Nippon government which is an ally to Great Britain, been prevented. MOBS RUIN EMBASSY WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. Mobs In Berlin and in St. Petersburg destroyed the embassy buildings of Germany and Russia. The messages stated that rioting and street fighting was continuous and that many casualities resulted. Nothing was said about the fate of the embassy staffs. The dispatches came to A. Sherbatskow, Counsellor of the Russian embassy here, who notified the state department that he had received a telegram to that effect. HUNTINGTON BACK IN STATE PRISON MICHIGAN CITY, Aug. 5. Earl Huntington of Richmond, Ind., who at 36 had squandered a fortune of $20,000 and held a record of more than 50 jail sentences, was returned to the Michigan City prison last night a parole violator. Huntington is serving a one to fourteen year sentence for habitual drunkenness. DELAY CAMPAIGN Because many of the members of the guest house association are out of the city on vacation trips, nothing has developed in the proposed second campaign for funds. After Chautauqua a meeting will be held which will be followed immediately by the delayed campaign. Some of the pledges made in the first campaign held last spring have been paid at the Dickinson Trust Company.

OPEII LONG STRETCH OF CONCRETE MO Contractors Conclude, Vork on New Paris Pike Beyond Gaar Road. The first long stretch , ot concrete road in Wayne county was opened to traffic last , night. It extends from the Gaar road to the Middleborough pike on the New ParlB pike, . The concrete portion of the Gaar road from the New Paris pike to Nineteenth street will be opened for traffic soon.

The past three days have seen the laying of ties and rails for the street car extension down Nineteenth street. The line will be completed before the end of the week. At J street the company has installed a curve eastward with the idea of extending the line through the park to the Gaar road if need' is seen next Beason. Because of the sandy soil and the under level of water in Morton park, the ditching machine will be removed and the excavations for the. big sewer line will be completed with a force of men. Laborers were employed yesterday by the contractor to begin excavations for the branch sewer which will drain the north side of the park and the New Paris pike. Because of the desire of several lot owners to build immediately along the north bank of the lake, this line will be completed as rapidly as possible. The improvement work makes entrance in the park by vehicles almost impossible this week. Piles of dirt and the machinery at the entrance will be removed by Sunday. BELGIANS INFLICT LOSS Oil GERMANS BRUSSELS, Aug. 5. German troops have lost heavily In today's fight with the Belgium forces. This was officially announced by the minister of war this afternoon.

The Belgians have displayed the utmost courage. Their losses are very trifling in comparison with those of the German troops."
