THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1914

TEMPERANCE BODY STANDS FOR BIBLE STUDYOFCLASSES Mrs. E. P. Rollman Expresses View of W. C. T. IL, Advising That Education Is Incomplete Without It. "The Bible in the Public Schools," Vas the subject of an interesting

paper read before the Wayne county W. C. T. U. convention yesterday afternoon by Mrs. . P. Rollman of Richmond. The union has recently taken up an attempt to get the teaching of the Bible inaugurated in the public schools of Indiana. In the following paper, Mrs. Rollman brought out the stand that the local unions are urged to take. "The Book that is under every flag, the Holy Bible, should be in our public schools. Under present conditions many of our boys and girls are growing up with little or no knowledge of the Bible. That the value of the Bible literature is not appreciated in our public schools is a loss that cannot be estimated as no literary education is complete without a knowledge of the Bible. Laws Favor Study. "Indiana with eight other states of our union has laws favoring the use of the Bible. A question that touches the Bible at any point is a vital one. Any effort to hinder its use and influence should be viewed with alarm, yet it is plainly apparent that the Bible does not occupy the place it once held in the schools of our country, when it was almost universally used. "Father, Mother, your child has a three fold nature, physical, mental and moral. These three must be developed together if the character of your boy is round and full. There is plenty of provision for developing the physical; the schools of Indiana rank high in mental training, but moral nature has been entirely neglected. It is not natural for the child to learn good morals any more than to study algebra. Therefore it is someone's business to see that he gets this training. Pleads for Use. "The Bible is used in every court house in administering oaths; statutes for observing the Christian Sabbath are found in every state; the state pays chaplains for our army and navy; the supreme court of the United States uses these words over and over, "This is a Christian Nation." No if this is a Christian nation, why not allow the Christian's Bible in the schools? If it is good to read in the army and navy, in Congress and at the penitentiary, why not read it to our boys and girls?" In the afternoon session of the convention, the reading of the reports of the county superintendents was completed, and the remaining business of the convention was transacted. A pleasing feature of the program was a vocal solo by Miss Edith Dukes. The session was closed with a benediction by Rev. Raymond Isley. LEADER OF BRAVES EARNS NEW TITLE BY LEASED WIRE. NEW YORK, Oct. 3. John J. MeGraw has had many a nickname since he began his baseball career, but best f all he likes the one, "the little Napoleon." Boston baseball writers are determined to do as much for George Stallings in the way of inventing titles. In these parts the leader of the Braves is popularly known as the "miracle man." but as this name is New York made it has not found much favor in the hub. Tim Murnane, the dean of New England baseball writers is responsible for the latest name for Stallings. "If McGraw is the little Napoleon of the diamofid," says Murnane, "then George Stallings is it's Wellington." So let it be George Wellington Stallings.

RALSTON WANTS CRAWFORD BEFORE GRAND JURY PROBE

Governor Ralston has addressed a letter to Prosecutor Baker of the Marion circuit court, directing that Earl E. Crawford, former representative of Wayne and Fayette counties in the legislature be summoned before that body to testify what he knows regard ing alleged misconduct of Homer L. Cook, speaker of the house. The governor's action follows the address of Mr. Crawford in this city in which he bjtterly assailed the speaker and the governor. In his letter to Prosecutor Baker, asking that Crawford be subpenaed before the grand jury, the Governor declares that if Crawford is an honest man, "he owes it to the public to name the members of the last Legislature who he believes were corrupt as legislators and cite the facts on which his belief rests." He says that he recalls that Representative Crawford complained to him that he could not gain recognition from the speaker of the House, but he declares that Crawford never at any time made to him a charge of corruption against Speaker Cook or an'y other member of the Legislature. "One Earl Crawford," reads the Governor's letter, "is reported to have said in a speech made last night (Thursday) at Richmond that he and other members of the last Legislature called my attention 'to misconduct' on the part of Speaker Cook, and that they protested to me against the extravagant manner in which Mr. Cook was administering the House affairs; against the defeat of the only real primary bill offered; also against the 'infamous' county superintendents' bill, and the Lake County bill. Reviews Record. "It is a fact that Mr. Crawford made complaints to me two or three times during the Legislature, because things1 were not going in the Legislature as he thought they should go. I made it plain to him that I was not proposing to undertake to boss the Legislature, as I got the impression at the time that Mr. Crawford was laboring under the conviction that as Governor I was not only charged with the performance of the executive duties of the state, but also with its legislative duties. "I shall not undertake to say whether Mr. Crawford did or did not mention some of the subjects to me that he now says he did. But I am confident the Lake County bill Senate bill CAR STRIKES GIRL Run down and dragged some distance by a motor car, Miss Mildred Delcamb of Easthaven avenue, was injured, perhaps not seriously, late this afternoon when going from the store in the vicinity to her home. Although the driver of the machine did not stop after his car veered from the center of the road and knocked the young woman down, passing over her body, witnesses say the driver was Dr. Cox, a Lynn physician who had been calling on a patient in the neighborhood. Miss Delqamp suffered no broken bones, but internal injuries are feared. GREENSFORK, 1ND. Miss Flossie Neff returned to her home from Van Buren Wednesday evening. Mrs. Thomas Carroll, Mrs. Thomas Carroll, Martin Carroll and Miss Marie Carroll of Richmond spent Wednesday with Mr. and Mrs. John Ellis. J. W. Clarkson made a business trip to Richmond Wednesday. Fred Williams and Miss Eagle were married recently. Mrs. Mary Roller has brought her mother, Mrs. Fleming of Richmond, to her home to live. Mrs. Fleming has been ill for some time. Fanny Roller spent the first of the week with friends and relatives here. F. Nicholson of Richmond spent Wednesday night with his father, Elmer Nicholson. Dan Doyle of Richmond was here Thursday. W. S. Hunt of Cambridge City was in town Thursday. John Boyd of Tipton is the guest of his brothers, Will and Calvin Boyd. Mr. and Mrs. Copeland of Cam-' bridge City spent Tuesday with Mr. and Mrs. Will Boyd. There will preaching services at the Methodist church Sunday evening. Ninety-three persons attended the rally day services at the Methodist church last Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Lews Smth of Hagerstown were guests of Mr. and Mrs. i Isaac Days. Dr. Charles Cleveland of Indianapolis spent Wednesday with W. S. Hatfield. Shannon and Flossie Neff motored to Van Buren Sunday afternoon. William Roller and family motored to Eaton, O., recently. William Mathews of Richmond was here Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. Jordan will move to the William Coffin farm, recently purchased by Mrs. Marion Myers. Clay Brooks and family of Richmond are spending the week with Mr. and Mrs. O. Nicholson. 260 PERSONS ENTER NIGHT CLASS WORK Two hundred and sixty persons have enrolled in the Richmond night high school, and with one more night to enroll the total enrollment is expected to reach the three hundred mark. More women have enrolled than men, but this is thought to be due in part to the fact that the women's classes in vocational work will start Tuesday evening, while the men's classes will not be organized until the classes are completed. JOHNSTON GUEST OF "OPEN HOUSE" Dr. Charles Hughes Johnston of the University of Illinois will be the guest of honor at the open house reception of the faculty and pupils of the high school Thursday evening. Dr. Johnsoton is author of a new book, entitled "The Modern High School," and is well known as an authority on the subject. At the request of Prof. Giles, he will address the high school teachers, Thursday afternoon,

423 was not discussed by him with me either before or after its defeat in the House. If he 'protested' against it before it was indefinitely postponed, he should have been satisfied with its defeat, as far as the Governor and the Legislature were concerned. If he protested' to me afterward he must have had some knowledge of its later history, and he should have not only informed me, which he did not, but the House itself, whose action thereon had been overruled by somebody's oversight or corruption. It is passing strange that Mr. Crawford permitted Senate bill 423 to be approved by the Governor, if he knew of any irregularity in connection with it. I think the public is entitled to further ' explanation by Mr. Crawford as to what he means when he says he protested to me against the Lake County bill. Denounces Crawford. "When he seeks to create the Impression, as he did in his speech that he had furnished me information of corrupt conduct on the part of Speaker Cook and also of corruption relating to Senate bill 423. I denounce his statements as absolutely false. He never at any time laid a charge of corruption with me against any member

of the Legislature. He did complain of what he termed Cook's misconduct complaining that the speaker had improperly failed to recognize him. The public readily understands that there is quite a difference between misconduct and corrupt conduct. All corrupt conduct is misconduct, but all misconduct is not corrupt conduct; and I apprehend that the public will not demand a criminal prosecution of Speaker Cook for improperly failing to recognize a member of the Houseeven though he be as modest and retiring as Mr. Crawford. The truth is, and I mean to speak kindly, this young man is unduly impressed with his own importance. "If Mr. Crawford Is an honest man, and he will admit that he is, he owes it to the public to name the members of the last Legislature whom he believes were corrupt as legislators and cite the facts on which his belief rests. If he is an honest man he will either do this or he will cease his attempt to create the impression that certain of his associate members in the Legislature of 1913 were bribe-takers and corruptionists." BRITISH TRANSPORTS BRING AMMUNITION BY LEASED WIRE. PARIS, Oct. 3. Three British transports, filled with ammunition for the British in France, have just arrived at Havre. The ammunition consists of millions of rounds of cartridges, shells, shrapnel and projectiles for the artillery, grenades and other varieties of munitions. The ships also carried small arms, blankets, tents and commissary supplies. The ammunition will be rushed to the front on special trains. CALLS FRANZ JOSEF "Le MORTIVIVANT" SARAH BERNHARDT.

MEXICAN LEADERS CARRY PISTOLS TO PEACEJOfEREIICE Eighty-eight Generals Assemble to Get Ready to Draw, Plans of Government. MEXICO CITY, Oct. 3. Eightyeight Constitutionalist generals, practically all of them wearing big caliber army service pistols in their belts in plain view, crowded into the hall of the chamber of deputies, in preparation for plans for the national peace convention which will probably open on October 10. The chief question for sensation today was the eligibility of Francisco Canseco of Oaxaca, to sit as a delegate in the peace conference because that state has never formally acknowledged allegiance to the Constitutionalist government. General Ramon Guieterrez has been elected president of the national peace convention and General Francisco Murgua of Monclovia, state of Coahulla, has been chosen vice president. It is likely that first chief Carranza will be represented by his confidential agent, Roberto V. Pesqueira. The news that General Villa has executed Augustine Perez and Joes Sandoval, two memebrs of the old aristocratic Cientifico party, is taken here to mean that Villa will devote all his energies in behalf of the peon population. Unless first chief Carranza and his advisers guarantee to carry out reforms in favor to the neons

demands by Villa the one time bandit chief will unquestionably go to war against the central government. POSTMASTER BRINGS FARMER TO MARKET CHICAGO, Oct. 3. Postmaster Campbelk today took up in earnest his new task of bringing the produce raiser and the city consumer together by parcel post. He has in two days received the names of 300 farmers ready to sell eggs, butter, etc., direct to callers in the city. "There are many details to be worked out," said Mr. Campbell today. "I a few days I shall publish a full list of the farmers near Chicago and the products they offer." RECORD BREAKIG CROWD AT FAIR EATON, O., Oct. 3 Attended by a crowd numbering about 18,000. the sixty-fourth annual fair of the Preble County Agricultural society was closed Friday at Eaton. The fair was a record-breaker in many ways and goes down in the records of the society as the best ever held. Weather during the entire week was ideal and the crowds in attendance both Thursday and Friday were the biggest ever known. The attendance Thursday is conservatively estimated at between 22,00 and 25,000.

DRAIN FROM SEWER CAUSE OF PROTEST Mayhews Complain of Damage to Land on North Twenty-Third Street. A lively, tilt resulted in the commissioner's court today when John M. and Clarence Mayhew appeared before the board to demand some relief from the sewer water which flows over the land of their father, Lorenzo Mayhew, who lives north of the baseball grounds on South Twenty-third street. After each side agreed as to the absolute necessity for a tile line 1,500 feet long to carry away the water, County Surveyor Peacock and John Mayhew engaged in an argument as to who made the first advances in settling the question. The commissioners will take up with the viewers the matter of having a 1,500 foot tile drain laid to carry the water to a lower water course in the rear of the baseball grounds. The owners of the land are not willing to pay for the sewer, they said. JAP ciSERTlRES ON BRITISH SHIP

BY LEASED WIRE. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3.

Captain Currie of the Queen Margaret, half dressed, showed his passes and proved his vessel British. The Japanese apologized for their action, as they believed the ship was German.

SHOUTS OF PRINCE DRAW GERMANS Oil Oscar Leads Column in the Charge at Verdun in Name of Fatherland. BERLIN. Via Amsterdam, Oct 3. Details of desperate fighting at Verdun, in which Prince Oscar, fifth son of Emperor William, led a charge into the thickest of the fray, were received here today. The hardest fighting was on September 24, when Prince Oscar collapsed from heart cramp and had to be taken to the hospital at Metz. The Germans had planned to make

a desperate attempt against the French I lines at Verdun that day, and Prince uscar aeciaea to lead his men in person. The Turcos, who were supporting the French, were hidden in trees picking off the German officers and as these Africans are excellent shots the Germans suffered heavily. Some of the companies . had to be led by sergeants during the hottest part of the fighting as a result of the slaughter brought about by the Turcos. When the German column moved forward with fixed bayonets, Prince Oscar galloped to the front to lead the charge. Rising in his stirrups, and brandishing his sword above his head, he shouted: "Onward, my brave soldiers! Onward for the Fatherland!" The soldiers responded with a cheer that rose above the crash of battle. HOW THEY RANK National League. Won. Lost. Pet.

Germans in Clash With Russian Army

BY LEASED WIRE-1 PETROGRAD, Oct. 3. The long expected battle between the German and Russian armies in western Russia, Poland, is on, according to reports received from the front today. The advance guards of the two armies are in contact in the district Koelce north of the Vistula, and heavy skirmishing has already taken place. The German army is reported to number 600,000 men along the curved front extending from Thorn to Cracow. In addition they are supported by at least 300,000 Austrians, who form the right wing of the allied forces. The Russians are believed to number at least 1,000,000 men. In the meantime fighting continues between the Germans retreating from the government of Suwalki and the pursuing troops of General Rennenkampf. The Russian left wing has crossed that border into East Prussia from Grajevo and Szczuczyn, but the Germans are .making desperate resistance to the advance of the Russian center west of Marjampol.

MONEY FROM TAGS , EXCEEDS AMOUNTS LEADERS EXPECTED

Generosity of Gifts to Hospital Pleases Women Offering Cards for Sale in Business District. Indications late this afternoon point toward a successful tag day. Workers believe donations will exceed those of last year. They money will be counted tonight. - While in some districts the donations were less this year for the tags Bold, the opposite condition rules in others. Mrs. George Eggemeyer, Mrs. Price and others believe the total amount will exceed the $600 for last year. Practically all local business men were tagged. There were many persons in the city today and this fact probably will account for an expected increase in the number of tags sold. Many substantial gifts were made. In some cases tags were paid for with bills of various denominations. The women were requested to report to Mrs. Eggemeyer and Mrs. Price at 4 o'clock this afternoon, although street sales w-ill continue until 6 o'clock or later. The ideal weather brought out more women workers than the committee expected, and several new stations were established. The following additional women were selling tags during the day: Mrs. Richard Study. Mrs. Joseph Hill, Miss Mabel Reller, Mrs. Harold. Mrs. McDivitt, Mrs. John Nicholson, Mrs. A. D. Gayle, Miss Mary Peltz, Miss Hastings, Mrs. Eliason, Mrs. Welch, Mrs. Beasley, Mrs. A. H.

Knox, one-time secretary of state, who is soon to start on an extended campaigning trip through Pennsylvania telling of the "practical Roosevelt" the man he served under as attorney general and whom he came in close contact with as junior senator from Pennsylvania. It is expected that his references to Roosevelt will not always be polite ones. Mrs Knox will urge the election of the en-, tire Republican ticket. The fighting in that district Is hampered by the worst weather that has raged for twenty years. A terrific rain has been falling for a week.
