INSISTENT CALLS MADE FOR BOOKS UPON QUAKERISM Sayres Work Exhausted and New Edition Ordered Struck Off to Meet WideSpread Demand. Tebbetts Points Out Advantage of Missionary Campaign and Details Success Wherever Adopted. Elbert Russell spoke briefly yesterday afternoon on the report of the I book and tract committee of which he 'Is chairman, the report having been presented by Mrs. Mary Doan Hole, the committee secretary, to the Indiana yearly meeting. Mr. Russell stated that the committee expected to have an address by Joseph J. Mills, former president of Earlham college, now a resident in California, but that at the last moment It found Mr. Mills could not get here. The expenditures for this committee's work will be included in the report of the yearly meeting treasurer. Demand Literature. Many insistant calls were reported from many sections for literature setting forth the peculiar principles of Friends, so heavy a demand having been made for "Some Reasons Why I Am a Quaker," by William J. Sayres, that another edition of the book had to be printed. The chief interest of the late afternoon consisted in the discussion of the report of the efficiency committee. Ancll Ratliff, temporary efficiency secretary, gave a detailed report of the operations of the committee, through him, during the eighteen weeks he had been engaged In the committee propaganda, which waB for an every-member canvass for finances to forward the work of the local churches. Testify to Worth. That this had been efficacious In the three quarterly meetings where it hand been in operation, was testified

to by short talks from Fred H. Ter-V

mohlen, of Van Wert; Oscar T. Trader of Rockford, O.; Aaron Napier of Wabash; Richard Haworth of Falrmount, and Austin Harvey of Traverse City, Mich. The four recommendations of the committee were concurred in, the recommendation of the appointment of a permanent secretary in 1915 with a salary of $1,000 and traveling expenses being referred to the finance committee. Dr. T. R. Woodward of Knightstown, Edwin Morrisson of the Earlham faculty, and a number of others spoke on the question. Custodian Resigns. A brief report from the custodian of the vault reported all documents contained therein in good condition, and the resignation of the custodian, Dr. C. E. Railey, was acted upon. Charles E. Tebbetts spoke with reference to the united missionary campaign among all the churches in which he is actively engaged, and pointed out efficacy of its system in all departments of church work if It was adopted. A banquet to be given at the South Eighth Street Friends church from 5 to 7 o'clock Thursday evening was referred to, this to be for the men of the yearly meeting and to unify the interest of the men from the various subsidiary meetings. Alfred Garrett of Philadelphia ,was Introduced at the afternoon session.

president will not, however, be eligible to the presidential chair. "We left Victoria only when we learned that the rebels in Tampico had threatened to set fire to the town should the Federals resist the entrance of the Constitutionalists. That would mean the landing of marines and intervention, and the latter would have resulted in the uprising of all Mexicans against all Americans. "Villa was shrewd enough to see that the landing of marines in Vera Cruz did not mean intervention. He said to Carranza, in effect: " 'That has nothing to do with us. It is Huerta's affair. L,et him settle it.' " Mr. Tice does not think that the stories of depredations against Americans were wholly authentic. Americans at Fault. "I fancy." said Mr. Tice. "that it was the fault of Americans 'themselves largely when difficulties occurred, although I am not at all prepared to say that this was invariably the case. 1 only Judge by the instances that came under my own observation. "For example, we were not molested in any way, nor was an American family just outside the town who owned and lived upon a small farm and attended to their own affairs. "But after the Constitutionalists took Victoria they ran out of the country an American owner of a large hacienda who had been unjust to his Mexican employes. All of which went to show that the Mexicans directed their activities toward obnoxious Americans, but not against those who had been inoffensive. The farmer and his family were never molested and are still there. School Facilities. "Fifty per cent of the Mexicans, I think I may say, are educated under the present public school system of Mexico." said Mr. Tice, going on to say that under the regime of Juarez, at which time the constitution of 1857 was formulated, a system of popular educntion was instituted and the land put back into the hands of the people, the head of every family receiving as much land as he could practically work. That the conditions in Mexico arc regarded as sufficiently stable for the re-opening of their schools is shown by the return to that country of Mr. and Mrs. Tice the second week in October, n. "We will open the day and not the hoarding school," said Mr. Tice, "on account of uncertainty as to possible eventualities." The school has 350 pupils, with grammar, normal, business, preparatory and Bible school courses.

WILSON FOE Of SUFFRAGE

SPEAKER TELLS F

S

Mrs. Culla J. Vayhinger of Upland, Ind., president of the Indiana W. C. T. U., and a national figure in temperance and suffrage organizations, made an address this afternoon after the report of the temperance committee before the Yearly Meeting. In talking to the representative of The Palladium, Mrs. Vayhinger said, relative to woman's suffrage: "The only manner in which we are going to get anywhere in Indiana is to make a direct appeal to the laboring women and all those who, In any manner, earn their living. Opposes Stotsenburg. "The bill Stotsenberg introduced in the last legislature was a mere makeshift. "Stotsenberg is more of a seeker after limelight publicity than a sincere worker for the verity of things. I asked him why he said he went away from the last legislature opposed to woman's suffrage. "He replied, )n account of the methods women use to gain it.' " 'And they aren't half as bad as those the men would use if they didn't

have suffrage,' I retorted. "I do not think Wilson is for suffrage at all. "His evasions on the subject go to show that he is not, for he is sufficiently frank in ramming other measures down his party's throat that they never gave him any instructions on. "No, Wilson isn't for suffrage. But we'll have it all the same." The report of the Anti-Saloon League was presented at this time and said in part: "About 50 local option elections have been held during the year in Indiana, 41 having given dry majorties, 9 wet. "The trustees re-elected Timothy Nicholson and S. Edgar Nicholson from Indiana Yearly Meeting as trustees at large, and Timothy Nicholson as president for the coming year." The report was made by F. C. Stanley of Marion. The afternoon session was opened with the report of the Home Mission committee, with addresses made by Robert Pretlow of Seattle, Wash., and Murray Kenworthy on the subject of home mission work.

sonal property than the entire peasant population of Russia. The history of the past shows no such progress made by any people in so short a length of time." Timothy Nicholson spoke at some length of a visit he made to the college the past summer and of finding the real estate owned by the institution in a rather unfavorable situation as to its topography and said he had been empowered by the trustees of

the Indiana Yearly Meeting to suggest that there b certain transfers of land through whic this could be obviated. Unanimous Vonsent was given by the Yearly Meeajrig to have this done by the trustees. Report on Indians. The report of the committee on Southland college was preceded by that on Indian affairs, these being two of the standing committees of the Yearly Meeting. George Hartley, chairman of the committee presented the report of the Associated Executive Committee of Friends held in Philadelphia in May of this year. This body has charge of the mission work among the Indians carried on by the Society of Friends in America and its report is presented to each individual Yearly Meeting. That there is a great, and incidentally, a remunerative field for work among the Indians to any who feel interested or called, was the statement of Mr. Hartley. "Young people who have the missionary spirit can engage in missionary work and at good pay," said Mr. Hartley, "by taking the civil service examination, as only those who have taken such an examination are permitted by the government to do work among the Indians. I would strongly recommend this action on the part of our young members." Mr. Hartley stated that the work of missionaries among the Indians was very apparant as those who had come under the influence of missionary activities were more susceptible to the operations of patriotic citizenship. Among the distinguished visitors who arrived this morning is Joseph J. Mills, of California, former president of Earlham college, and clerk of the Indiana Yearly Meeting. Credentials of several other visiting friends were presented at the morning session including Hannah M. Hubbard, of Wichita, and Robert Pelt, of Westfield. Committee Reports. The nominating committee reported the following. For pages, Miss Helen Kenworthy, Miss Lura Haworth, Herschel Folger and Leslie Bond. Devotional committee Charles M. Sweet, chairman; Truman C. Kenworthy, George W. Bird, Charles E. HIatt, Joseph Goddard, Edwin Morrisson, Leonard Hobson, John Kittrell, Eliza W. Hiatt, Nettie Springer and Elbert Russell. Special order of business after the

reports of the standing committees, included the recommendation of the efficiency committee for the appointment of Ancil Ratliff to the position of efficiency secretary, for the coming year, a recommendation which was confirmed by the Yearly Meeting. The second order of special business was the memorial service and many expressions of appreciative regard of deceased friends who had passed on during the year were made, including a formal memorial read for Seth Stafford, of Greensboro, Indiana. Remember Dead. Timothy Nicholson spoke of the fact that fifteen deaths had taken place in the monthly meeting of which he was a member and spoke feelingly of Alfred Johnson, Miriam Henley, Anna Votaw, Sarah Hussey and John Moore. Edward Bellis paid a tribute to the memory of Timothy Wilson a member of South Eighth Street Friends church. And a number of other references were made to those who has died in various parts of the Yearly Meeting during the past year. The announcement from the foreign mission committee that Bishop Oldham, of the Methodist Episcopal church, from New York City, will deliver the address at the time the committee makes it report on Friday afternoon, was received with pleasure. "Bishop Oldham is not only one of the greatest speakers of his denomination in America, but he stands with such men as Robert E. Speer and John R. Mott and others as well known as orators. An earnest invitation is extended to everybody to be present," stated Mrs. Belle C. Bailey, secretary of the committee of which Milo S. Hinkle is chairman.

BOND IN CHICAGO AT MEDIC SESSION

Dr. S. Edgar Bond is in Chicago attending the third annual convention of the American Association for the Study of Spondylotherapy. He holds the office of secretary and treasurer in the association. This is a convention of scientific men who have as their purpose the study of diseases of the nervous system and spinal phenomena. It is being attended by several hundred medical men representing every state in the Union.

Zeno H. Doan of Iowa, and Solomon Tice of Victoria, Mexico, had charge of last evening's devotional session at the Yearly Meeting, Mr. Tice speaking with reference to the religious situation in Mexico. An interview with Mr. Tice relative to the general political condition of Mexico is found in another part of this issue of the paper. Mr. Doan made an eloquent plea for the recognition of the value of Christian living in this day of social chaos and international conflict and pointed out the inefficacy of all religions save that of Christ for the conservation of humanity. "The remarkable days in which we live are distinguished by two things," said the speaker. "The decrease of the modern world and the increase of modern man. "God has lighted the fires of inventive genius under the world and has therefore taken from it the dangers of distance, disease and inhospitable people. "On the other hand man has developed his natural powers through the use of steam and electricity, thus increasing his ability to accomplish the tasks of modern life. "The words of my text, 'Whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved,' brings us face to face with the great world need and it has been demonstrated that non-Christian religions are utterly unable and inadequate to meet these. "The time to carry the gospel to the world is now."

"I am indebted to Trustee James Howarth for calling my attention to the Wessler family, and making It possible for me to gain this success. Many Give Plots. "In all there were thirty-eight gardens in the contest, two on South M street, three in Jenkins' addition, one in the John Slotly Sevastopol addition, one at the corner of South Sixteenth and C streets and one lot in the old St. Mary's church yard. Lots were donated by the South Side Improvement association, Hackman-Kleh-foth company, William H. Romey, E. H. Harris, Mrs. Fred Lindemann and Father Cronin of St. Mary's church. These lots were plowed through the kindness of the Rev. Conrad Huber, president of the board of charities. "Plants were donated by Conrad Zwissler and Prof. Ramsey of Whitewater school. Seeds were given by The Palladium and a plow was donated by the Commercial club. "For the success of the work I am indebted in many ways to Charles W. Jordan, secretary of the Commercial club, Mayor Will J. Robbins and Alfred Bavis, president of the board of works. Respectfully submitted, KATHERINE McKENZIE MONARCH.
