HOPE TO MAKE PENAL GROUND PAY EXPENSES Trustees Ask Legislature for Enough Money to Start In stitution on Self-sustaining Basis. Although he found the legislature in a "most economical mood," President George Seidel of the Richmond Commercial club and one of the trustees of the recently established State Penal Farm, expressed the belief today that the legislature would be liberal in its appropriation for , this institution. Mr. Seidel and other trustees appeared before the institutional visiting committee of the senate yesterday afternoon. "I think we were successful in convincing the committee that if a large enough appropriation is made for the penal 'farm we will be able to save tha counties of the state such a large sum of money that the average will be $100,000 per county, and to establish the institution on such a basis that it will be no expense to the state," Mr. Seidel said today. Dormitory Almost Complete. A dormitory and kitchen to house and feed two hundred inmates is now nearing completion but the trustees want the appropriation this year to be large enough to provide accommodations for one thousand men. The trustees also want sufficient money to pro vide a stone crushing equipment and brick and tile making departments. "By the sale o the products of our Immense farm and of crushed stone, brick and tile the institution will be made self-supporting," Mr. Seidel declared. The trustees also plan to have the prisoners build a switch from the farm to the nearest railroad. "Once the Institution Is in operation you can expect the various counties to take full advantage of it," Mr. Seidel asserted. "Under the law any Jail prisoners may be sent to the state farm and it is compulsory to send to the Institution all prisoners sentenced to terms of thirty days or longer. Cuts Down Expense. "This provides a means for counties cutting down their jail maintenance expenses. This may not make a hit with the sheriffs because it will play hob with their ins and outs fees, but it will make a strong appeal to other county officers, especially circuit and police court judges. It Is because we realize that the various counties will not be slow in shouldering the expense of keeping and feeding men convicted of misdemeanors on to the state, we are urging the legislature to make the state farm appropriation large enough to provide accommodations for at least one thousand men and to place the institution on a self-supporting basis." NEGLECTED BIRTHDAY Judge Henry C. Fox forgot to celebrate his eightieth birthday anniversary today. The judge came to work as usual this morning and after a short court session hurried away from the court house. He avoided any display and even his family had forgotten it was the judge's birthday until they were reminded of it by a question as to how he celebrated it. For several years the judge has claimed the distinction of being the oldest active circuit judge in Indiana. FRIDAY CLOSES TERM This week is the last of the fall semester. .Principal Pickell hopes to begin the spring semester without a hitch whatever. All students have sketched their programs for next semester which Principal Pickell believes will prevent confusion and loss of time which always has marked the begenning of a cemester.

ITALIAN PREMIER PRAYS FOR PEACE Luigl Luzzattl, formerly premier of Italy, believes that the appearance on earth of a great spiritual leader may be necessary to stop the war. He says: "In view of the increasing horrors, a speedy peace is now the sincere and deeply felt aspiration of mankind, but to win over the embittered hearts of the belligerents to the cause of peace it would be necessary to invoke the return to earth of a great apostle of brotherly love, like Francis of Assiais. "This being impossible the conclusion of peace will probably be the result of mutual exhaustion. It is cruel to receive peace from such an irre parable evil. Let us hope the belliger ents will realize the necessity of laying down their arms. Let us do everything within our power to hasten the day. "Yet, if the war must continue, let us hope for the triumph of the principle of nationality, thus insuring a lasting peace." A Norwegian scientists has advanced the theory that Saturn's rings are electrical phenomena, produced by the radiation of lumninous particles from the planet, which consistently renews them.

FUNK COMMENTS ON RECEIVERSHIP IN RUMELY CASE Refusal of Note Holders to Grant. Extension of Time Leads to Crisis For Company.

President Clarence Funk of the M. Rumely company, issued the following statement after the appointment of Finley P. Mount, Indianapolis attorney, as receiver: . "When my associates and I took the management of the company a year and a half ago, we reached the conclusion, which we still hold, that not withstanding the accumulation of an enormous and badly balanced Inventory and the general disorganization, resulting from the great and sudden expansion of the business In 1912, the business itself was fundamentally sound, and that under normal conditions and provided the holders of the $10,000,000 of debentures would extend them for three years and the banks would afford the necessary seasonal credit, the company could be carried through Its difficulties and its finances re-adjusted without a receivership. "When in the spring of 1914 the management received assurances of the necessary support from the banks, it undertook to carry the business along another year, with the distinct announcement, however, that it could not be carried through 1915 unless the balance of the two-year notes consented to the extension. Banks All Protected. "The banks which supplied the company with its seasonal requirements last year by the purchase of farmers' notes from the company will not lose, as about half of the amount of their investment has already been realized through collections on the notes, and the balance of the notes is ample for the other half. "If the security holders will co-operate in bringing about a re-organization on sound lines, and do so promptly so that the damage to the good will of the business from a receivership may be minimized, I have no doubt that by patient and persistent effort the business can so be re-established as to provide 100 cents on the dollar for all the debt and something besides." ADVISES COMPROMISE OF FREIGHT SHIPPERS Club Committee Recommends Earlier Closing Hour at Railroad Offices. A compromise was suggested by the committee on railroads of the Commercial club yesterday with the freight houses earlier.
