LOCAL PERSONS TO TELL FACTS ABOUTBIGAMIST Richmond Acquaintances to Serve as Witnesses Against Paul Apkins in Case in Connersville Court. Peter Paul Apkins, forger, bigamist and a plotter of demonical ingenuity will be brought from the Kentucky state penitentiary tomorrow and taken to the Fayette county jail to await trial for forgery. Up to May 20, 1911, Apkins, then 33 years old, was known as a reliable, sober, industrious and honest man. He was employed at the Starr Piano company where he probably laid his plans for the two months career which followed. On May 20 Apkins forged three checks on the Second National bank using the name of E. H. Mason. He secured $23.80. Payment was refused on a $23 check on the Centerville State bank. Apkins then met a young widow who. still lives in Richmond and left here for Paris, 111., where they were married May 21. Leaves for Chicago. They returned immediately to Richmond but Apkins told his wife that he had to make a business trip to Chicago. He left her at Indianapolis and went to Nichlasville, Ky., where he met Miss Elizabeth Young. They were married May 27, and went to Cincinnati. In a hotel there May 29, Apkins drugged his second wife and robbed her of jewels and $110 in cash. His "wife's screams were heard and he told authorities who investigated that she became hysterical when she thought a burglar was trying to enter the room. Leaving his wife In this condition he left Cincinnati and on May 31 appeared In Stirling, Conn., where he had corresponded with a young woman whom he was to marry. She had expected him later and was not at home, thus escaping him. He then went to Lynn, Mass., and disappeared until July 18 when he left Chicago for Connersville. Bank Cashes Check. On July 19, Apkins forged a check for $4 payable to Charles Mayer signed by E. Hensley, a Richmond saloon keeper. The check was cashed at the Fayette National bank in Connersville. Apkins left Connersville immediately and when he arrived in Richmond on the 9:20 interurban that night, Chief of Police Gormon arrested him. He innocently inquired the cause of the arrest and the police were never able to secure a statement from him. The Kentucky authorities failed to convict him or murder and Indiana authorities agreed to permit his prosecution for bigamy although Wayne county had first claim against him. It Is believed Apkins will get a long penitentiary sentence in Fayette county. Many Richmond persons will be called on as witnesses. It will be some time before he can be brought to Richmond and tried for the forgeries here. The evidence is still retained, however.

MINISTER VON JAGOW PREPARES REPLY TO U. S. SHIPPING NOTE

BY FREDERICK WERNER, Staff Correspondent for International News Service. BERLIN, (Via Amsterdam). Feb. 15. While some of the German papers continue to show irritation over . the attitude of the United States on Germany's declaration of a war zon- about Great Britain and its warning to neutral shipping, official utterances are tending to curb them. " It is known that the German government is confident of effecting an understanding that will establish the fact that Germany intends to wage no campaign; of wanton destruction against neutral shipping, but is taking steps to cut off England's food supplies that are entirely proper under the circumstances. V ' It became known today Minister Von Jagow has kept in communication with Emperor William who has returned to the front and the note of reply to be given to Ambassador Gerard will first be submitted to the Emperor for his approval. It was reported here today that Ambassador Gerard would be Invited to visit the Kaiser and discuss the issue with him, but no official confirmation of this report was obtainable. Preparing Reply. In the meantime, the foreign office is working rapidly on the note of reply, as the war zone proclamation

is to go into effect in three days. It is hoped by the foreign office that the reply can be transmitted to Washington by . Tuesday. . Some points were cleared up at a conference on Saturday evening between Herr Von Jagow and Ambassador Gerard and it is expected that the rest can be settled without difficulty. No attempt Is made to conceal the fact that the issue centering about the steamer Wilhelmina is the crux of the situation. Germany feels that England, in seizing the cargo of this ship, has declared its purpose of starving the people of Germany. If the United States could Induce England to alter her position as to foodstuffs consigned to the civilian population of Germany, it is hinted here that an agreement could be reached by which all the belligerents could unite for the protection of neutral shipping. The Koelnische Zeitung, which has published several editorils characterizing "American neutrality" has renewed its attacks since the receipt of the United States note, which the foreign office considers conciliatory in its entirety and a frank exposition of American views. "From the German point of view, the contents of the United States note is not considered in a conciliatory manner only," says the newspaper today.

Baptist Church Pays Tribute to Blind Hymn Writer, Who Died Recently. . The sincerity of religious belief was the subject of an evangelical sermon by Rev. W. 0. Stovall at the First Bap

tist church last night. "We live in an age of specialties and rivalry," said Mr. Stovall. "We like to be pleased and we let that notion get away with us rather than a desire to learn the truth. Too many of us are seeking for a religion that caters to our bodily comfort, and later find that It leads in the wrong direction. It is as reasonable to select a train for a journey because the color of the cars and the appearance of- the conductor suits us, as to select a religion that suits our outward fancy. The train will very likely take us in the opposite direction from that which we wished to travel, and the religion may do the same thing. We should let the truth of God determine for us just what our religion shall be, and place our desires in the background." All of the hymns used in the evening service were written by Fannie Crosby, the blind singer who died last week. Rev. Stovall spoke briefly of her life of faith, and of the influence her songs would have on Christian people, long after she had died.

NEW BANK TO NAME LIST OF OFFICIALS IN SEVERAL DAYS Bockhoff Probably to Be Appointed Secretary and List of Clerks to Be Selected. Election of officers of the GermanAmerican Savings and Trust bank will be held next week. Members of the board of directors said today that a directors' meeting will be called, probably Wednesday, when a list of officers and other employes of the bank will be selected. It is understood that the directors have made tentative selections, which will not be announced until a definite arrangement is made with each of the proposed officers and employes. It is understood that W. F. Bockhoff will be made secretary of the banking company. For some time it has been known that C. W. Jordan, secretary of the Commercial club, would be the chief active officer of the bank, as he resigned his position as club secretary to accept the new place. The bank will open at Ninth and Main streets in the room now occupied by the Western Union Telegraph company as soon as the change can be made. The telegraph company will require some time to move, because of the complex system of cables and wires which must be installed. Officials of the Western Union announced that new equipment installed in the last two years enables the company to make the move. The generating system replaces many batteries which were formerly required, and the new switchboard occupies one-seventh of the space taken by the old arrange-

QUIGG MAY START ON LOGAN'S PLACE

Richmond Boy May Get Chance to Perforin in Indiana Game. ' .. ' - . i With Logan out of the game chances of the Earlham basket ball five to do any damage against the I. five at Bloomington Saturday night are exceedingly slim. Logan is the mainstay of the Quakers and Just how the team will do without him is a question that is worrying its followers. Indiana buried the Rose Poly five under an avalanche of field baskets with a team composed for the most part of second string players Saturday night showing wonderful improvement. Quigg, a local lad, who was shifted into the Earlham lineup in the latter part of the second half in the Franklin game will probably get a good chance to show Coach Whitesides just what he can do. He will probably start the game at forward.

Reliable evidence is abundant that women are constantly being restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound The many testimonial letters tnat we are continually publishing in the newspapers hundreds of them are ail genuine, true and unsolicited expressions of heartfelt gratitude for the freedom from suffering that has come to these women solely through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound., Money could not buy nor any kind of influence obtain such recommendations ; you may depend upon it that any testimonial we publish is honest and true if you have any doubt of this write to the women whose true names and addresses are always given, and learn for yourself. Read this one from Mrs. Waters: Camden, N.J. "1 was sick for two years with nervous spells, and my kidneys were affected. I had a doctor all the time and used a galvanic battery, but nothing did me any good. I was not able to go to lied, but spent my time on a couch or in a sleeping-chair, and soon became almost a skeleton. Finally my doctor went away for his health, and my husband heard of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and got me some. In two months I got relief and now I am like a new woman and am at my usual weight. I recommend your medicine to every one and so does my husband." Mrs. Tiljuus Waters, 530 Mechanic Street, Camden, N.J. From Hanover, Penn. ITattovkk, Pa. "I was a very weak woman and suffered from bearing down pains and backache. I had been married over four years and had no children. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound proved an excellent remedy for it made me a well woman. After taking a few bottles my pains disappeared, and we now have one of the finest boy babies you ever saw." Mrs. C. A. Kickkode, R.F.DKo. 5, Hanover, Pa. Now answer this question if you can. Why should a woman continue to suffer without first giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial ? You know that it has saved many others why should it fail in your case?

For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been the standard remedy for female ills No one sick with woman's ailments does justice to herself if she does not try this famous medicine made from roots and herbs, it bas restored so many suffering worn en to health.
