November 9 Huber to Attend Reception. Equal franchise rights for both sexes, destruction of the liquor and white slave traffic, humane child labor laws and the obviation of class spirit were recommended by Itev. E. E. Davis, pastor of the Second Presbyterian church, in a paper before the Ministerial Association today, as factors that should enter a new constitution for Indiana. "The history of the American nation is an experiment in democracy," said the Rev. Mr. Davis. "The lead?rs. with the people, have been pupils n the school of government. Much of he administration of governments has een of an experimental nature, and lie element of self interest has charcterized many of these experiments." The Rev. Davis said all constituons require amending from time to me. Indiana has had two constituns, the last being written in 1851. Calls for Equal Rights. "The first duty of a constitution is define and safeguard the rights of the citizens of the state," the Rev. . Davis added. "Since the elective nchiso plays such an important t in governmental affairs, we here the constitution should be so i trun a ti Inn nrta In rha pvprluo ....... this right all native born citizens egal age, regardless of sex or race, erever women have been given ichise rights, they are introducing ml n n si li 1 1 niii a1 mil ( in t l Intn f in at i auu iiuiiiauc ciwicuia iiilu try-' ' riental matter. n all social and economic justice, new constitution should provide the destruction of the liquor and a tiln ve truffle " 5v. Mr. Davis said there was little I for the reform of the Executive, i lative and judicial branches of the Inistration of government.

James was appointed the speaker at the jail for Nov. 1, and Rev. E. G. Howard to hold services at the county infirmary, Nov. 8. PRESIDENT OPPOSES CALLING CONGRESS IN SPECIAL SESSION BY LEASED WIRE.J WASHINGTON, Oct. 26. President Wilson has no intention at this time of calling a special session of congress to precede the regular one in December, it was stated at the white house today. He will consult with senate and house leaders directly after the November election and his plans will be based on their advice. The president recognizes that not all the important measures now in congress, including the Jones Philippine bill, the conservation measures, the teamen's bill, the ship purchase bill and others can be taken up at the regular session. Optimism is still maintained by tho president regarding the cotton situation. He said he was certain conditions would improve steadily in the South, and that all that can be done for the relief of the cotton growers is being done. Cotton leads the list of contraband articles. President Wilson said, and for that reason probably will be admitted to all the belligerent nations. Reports have come to the administration that England will not place any obstacle in the way of cotton going to Germany. The president, however, said he had not heard officially of this declaration by Great Britain. He made It plain that he did not think there was any money lacking in the South, but that the great trouble was in finding the exact baBis of the security on which to lend it, and as soon as a stable price Is fixed for cotton, money will be available in large quantities. CHASED ON TRESTLE BY FREIGHT TRAIN John Sweeney, an Englishman, who recently came to this country from , Australia, was pursued, while intoxi- . cated, over the Pennsylvania railroad bridge by a freight train, to escape which he Jumped off the bridge and alighted on the C. & O. tracks thirty feet below, escaping only with painful bruises. Not a bone was broken. The accident occurred Saturday night. The man was taken to the hospital. He bad been employed in this vicinity aa a corn shucker. "Why aren't you in England fighting for your country?" Sweeney was asked. "I think I stand a good chance of getting killed In this country without going bacn home," he replied.

Representatives of the Richmond City Water Works company and Contractor Trappier were called before a special session of the board of county commissioners today for a statement of the trouble which has arisen on North Twelfth and J streets. j It developed that the water works j company moved its main in order not I to interfer with the building of a sewer for which Trappier had the con- ' tract. The trenches were left exposed for three or four weeks, during which time Trappier did some blasting. After this work was completed and the trenches filled, Trappier paved the roadway leading to the Twelfth street bridge. The water main now leaks and the company Bays Trappier is responsible. They asked that they be given permission to make the repair without replacing the concrete paving. Trappier denied responsibility and asked that the roadway be accepted and the water works company be made to stand the cost.

DRESSES OF CALICO

FURNISH FEATURE OF REBEKAH DANCE Only One Person Violates Rule and Lodge Makes Merry at Big Fall Social Function. Only one couple in 150 persons failed to comply with the calico rule at the dance given by Eden lodge, Daughters of Rebekah, Saturday night. Merriment abounded. The program opened with a general handshaking, each person being ordered to shake hands with his neighbor whether he knew him or not. Then followed a general jollification before dancing and card playing started. Calloo dresses of every description were seen on the floor. The men, not to be outdone, wore cotton shirts, and many had calico ties. The dresses were much admired by the men, and this move on the part of the women's lodge may result disastrously to their individual allowances. T thought my wife was wearing a blue silk dress," one said. "She tells me it cost only 65 cents, and is fancy at that." Old Styles Shown. Novelty dresses were featured. A woman wore a calico dress which her mother-in-law prized forty years ago as her best. Many of the dresses were made along similar styles, and it is said that they bore ear-marks of the coming style. The old ear-bob fashion was adopted by a number.. Mrs. Russell Strattan, chairman of the committee which planned the affair was much pleased. So good a time did those present have that none left until the last dance was danced and i the last card table deserted. I The guests were the husbands, and' the members brought seventy-five pumpkin pies, besides quantities of doughnuts and crackers. To dispose of the edibles it was neces'sary to call in outside aid. A club dance in the adjoining hall was thus unexpectedly supplied with a feast. The decorations were entirely of Halloween effect. The program was carried out as arranged. A trio composed of Miss Helen Kenworthy, Miss Gertrude Clark and Mr. Dixon furnished the opening j song. iney were ionowea oy Miss , Leta Roland with a reading: Miss Bes-. selman with a vocal solo; Philip Gates with a French horn solo; Ruby Medearis, instrumental foIo; Howard Mesdick, reading; Philip Paul Gates, vocal solo; George Bishop, a talk on why every young man should become an Odd Fellow; and Mrs. Spekenhier, grand treasurer of Indiana, a talk on why and where she became a Rebekah twenty-three years age. The dance committee will hold a meeting soon and may plan a similar affair for the Thanksgiving holiday. SEEK OLD RECLUSE FOR DEATH OF GIRL South Bend Police Suspect Wild Man of Killing Young Maiden.
