FLY CAMPAIGN ADVOCATED BY GEORGE SEIDEL

Retiring Commercial Club Head Recommends Extermination of Insect as Important Health Measure. Putting the annual fly swatting campalgn ahead of all other health work of the Commercial club, George Seldel, retiring president said in bis annual report'last night he would recommend that the battle cry become. "Swat, let not a fly remain for frost to kill next fall." i.ir. Seldel spoke of the other health work the committee has done Including the inspection of abattoirs and the tuberculosis hospital investigations. "This work has now gone into the hands of a special committee," the report said, "where it probably will receive close attention. I hope to see the hospital plans rapidly worked out." Takes Backward Step. . The only backward step the community has taken, Mr. Seldel said, was the withdrawal of the organization of the agricultural Interests under a county agent. Mr. Seidel declared that the request of the Sellars insurance bureau to Richmond to place all wires underground is an unnecessary demand and the committee should continue in its efforts to have the city placed in class two for insurance purposes. To the committee on electric railroads, the retiring president recommended that activities be directed towards securing an overhead bridge at Nineteenth or Twentieth street over the Pennsylvania railroad in order that the Morton Park car line extension can be connected with city lines. A lot selling campaign and a call for public spirit In aiding to pay off the mortgage on part of the Morton Park land was recommended. Activity Well Directed. Public utility questions have been prominently before the people In the past year and the activities of the Commercial club committee have been well directer, Mr. Seidel said. The club aided in the agitation which secured a reduction of water rates. A bracket street lighting system was termed undesirable, such a system would necessarily mean a compromise with the street car company, the report said, and is unsatisfactory for other reasons. The ornamental system was advised. Of the yardcleaning day Mr. Soidel said: "Yard cleaning has become one of the feature of the city's spring activities, and I anticipate even greater success thla year. Through council's willingness to aid by appropriating $100, the committees can devote their time and efforts to planning the work without worrying over raising the money." 'V Study Tax Problem.'"The legislative committee has been interested in reforms of city government, improvements In the present road laws and the change in the maximum passenger rate from 2 cents to 2Va cents a mile. "Members cf the club have taken an active and important part in studying taxation questions and a number have joined the state organization. "We are pleased to recognize the splendid work of the county road superintendent, and stand ready to cooperate with those favorable to retaining this county official. "It is a good thing to bring conventions here. Last year the conventions of the T. P. A. and Phi Delta Kappa were aided, and this year the state conference on charities and correctionr. will be held In Richmond. There is a possibility that the Seventhday Adventists will hold their annual meeting here." No Use to Try and Wear Out Your Cold It Will Wear You Out Instead. Thousands keep on suffering Coughs and Colds through neglect and delay. Why make yourself an easy prey to eetlous ailment: and epidemics as the result of a neglected Cold? Coughs and Colds sap your strength and vitality unless checked in th,e. early .stages. Dr. King's New Discovery is what you need the first dose helps.

HOSPITAL RUNS S723 DEFICIT FOR JANUARY The first month of the administration of Miss Clara Pound as superintendent of the Reld Memorial hospital failed to make any progress In the campaign against the elimination of the deficit of that institution. The hospital under the superintendency of Miss Marsh closed the year with a considerable deficit. Miss Pound succeeded her and the January report of the Institution, made public today, discloses the fp.ct that the institution was operated that month at a loss of $723.8:?. The receipts that month amounted to $1,3"4.51 and the disbursements amounted to $2.07S.:5J. During January ." patients wero admitted for treatment and 59 patients were discharged. An average of 31 patients were cared for each day. There wore 32 operations and 7 births. LICENSES RENEWED Renewed retail liquor licenses have been granted to H. V. McLeland. 193 Fort Wayne.

Tones of Liberty Bell Sound From Sea to Sea by Telephone

i

Pacific Coast Hears Famous Old Relic Opening Transcontinental Phone Service. Transcontinental telephone service for the public at $20.70 for three minutes, was stated with the sound of the Liberty Bell in Independence hall, Philadelphia, being carried over the wires to San Francisco. This is the first time the bell has been sounded in years, but the tones were reproduced on the Pacific coast perfectly. It is expected the feat will be repeated at the opening of the Panama Pacific exposition. START FACTORY TO GRIND ROCK FOR JFERTILIZER Indianapolis and Richmond Capitalists Find Vein of Dolomite Limestone Covering Ten Acres. Richmond is soon to become one of the large distributing centers of ground limestone in the state, and the headquarters for an extensive better farming propaganda. Following the discovery of an almost pure vein of dolomite limestone near New Paris, Ohio, the Farmers' Ground Limestone Company has been formed, and arrangements have already been made to open the vein and establish the crushers and pulverizers. The new company which is largely backed by Indianapolis capital, is incorporated under the laws of Indiana and temporary officers have been i elected. I lb AO V.J I ' - 1 1 W I. V . V . 1 .11 LI L 13 V I. A Ml men are interested in the company. J. C. Miller who is in charge of the preliminary operations said that some stock would be distributed among lo cal holders. "We do not have to wait to sell our stock before beginning operations," he said yesterday, "because we have plenty of capital, and are going right ahead. We expect to be producing ground limestone within sixty days." Covers Ten Acres. The vein of rock covers about ten acres, and lies about a half mile north of the Rineheimer quarries. The machinery to be installed will have a producing power of about three car loads of ground limestone daily. The value of the discovery of this veing of pure rock is enhanced by the fact that the state experiment stations are advocating the liberal use of ground limestone to sweeten and j granulate the soil, and farmers are buying it in large quantities. Heretofore it has been hard to get good quality rock delivered in Wayne county at a reasonable price. The new company guarantees a product approximately 99 per cent soluble and will sell it at a : price probably not over $2.00 a ton. I Farmers Increase Demand. ! In order to increase the demand for ' their product and to educate the farmers as to the value of ground lime- ! stone on their soils, the company has established a farm extension department known as the Farm ImproveI ment' Company, with headquarters In 1 the Colonial Building. ! The services of this department will ;be free to farmers, and under the dl- : rection of W. H. Dye will test soil and seed, and visit farms. "Wo absolutely guarantee that a farmer can grow alfalfa and clover. If he follows our instructions," said Mr. Dye. To get acquainted with the farmers, the company has announced a corn show to be held in their rooms in the Colonial building on the first Saturday in May. Ten dollars in gold will be offered for the best ten ears of corn of any color. SET PROVOKE SUIT. Chester Ellis today entered a plea of not guilty to a charge of provoking John Brumley, and the case will be heard in city court tomorrow morning. The police are informed that Ellis called at the Brumley home to get an ice chest and was oidered away and that he threatened to make trouble. 1

STRAYER'S CAR HITS BRIDGE AND JUMPS DOWN STEEP BANK The absence of the usual smile, the sad look In the eyes of Attorney Frank Strayer for the past two days has at last been explained. H confessed today that his new roadster with the torpedo shaped body was hauled out of a ditch west of Centerville Saturday and Is now in the hands of machinists in a more or less dilapidated condition. "I decided to have the car fixed up so Saturday Roy Wright took it out to time the engine, being accompanied by JDory Wample," Strayer said today. "While traveling about thirty miles per hour on the National road Wright drove the machine into a bridge just west of Centerville. It did a loop-the-loop and dropped thirty feet into a ditch. The torpedo body prevented Wright and Wample from being thrown out and they escaped without a scratch. The machine was : quite badly damaged and it was quite a job getting it out of the ditch." POSTPONE ELECTION OF CLUB OFFICERS Directors Take More Time to Deliberate Qualifications of Candidates. The Commercial club is an organization with but one regularly chosen officer, a secretary. The club directors for the coming fiscal year held their first meeting last night and failed to organize. This was due to the fact that a committee appointed last week was given too little time to prepare its report. The important office which will require some time for consideration' is that of president, all other selections being held in abeyance vmtil the nominating committee is ready to call a a special meeting for election. The committee on recommendation is John McCarthy, John Rure and Edgar Hiatt. Officers whose terms expired last night, George Seidel, president, P. A. Reid, George Eggemeyer and John Lontz, vice presidents, and H. A. Dill, treasurer, will act until tne new officers are elected. All directors who are chairmen of committees made reports of their year's work. The reports of the various committees were summarized in the president's annual report. REPORT ON MEASURE PROMISED OFFICIALS As members of judiciary committee B of the house of representatives, state legislature, promised Mayor Robbins, Senator McConaha, W. K. Bradbury, chairman of the public service committee of the Richmond Commercial club, and Cwnty Clerk M. W. Kelly, the McConaha bill, permitting a part of the surplus earnings of the Richmond municipal plant to be diverted into the general fund of the city, was favorably reported to the house today. This bill has passed the senate. Yesterday the Richmond delegation went to Indianapolis in the interest of the bill and that their mission was successful is attested by the action of the judiciary committee today. B. B. Johnson, private secretary to Gover. nor Ralston, assisted the Richmond men. It is quite probable the bill will be passed without opposition and placed in the hands of the governor within the next day or two. WILL MEET HERE. The annual state conference of charities and correction will be held in Richmond in October, Secretary Melpolder of the Central Charity bureau said today. Various committee start work on arrangements Saturday at a meeting held in the office of the president, Amos W. Butler at Indianapolis. There will be about 600 delegates.

ALLEGES SLICK SWORE FALSELY TO GET DECREE

Alleging that Thomas Slick, 72, of Greenville, O., gave false affidavits and testimnoy to secure a divorce, which was granted by Judge Fox in circuit court here October 8, 1913, Prosecuting Attorney Reller submitted) to court today a petition asking that the divorce case be re-opened in order that steps can be taken to abrogate the decree. Prosecutor Reller said he had received information to the effect thai it was Slick's third attempt to secur a divorce from his wife, and since it. has been granted he has married an elderly widow of Pennsylvania, who has written that Slick ruined her life by telling her his first wife had been dead ten years. There is little doubt of the success of the petition. Following the opening of the decree, Slick will, it is alleged, be guilty of bigamy, and will be required to have his marriage to the Pennsylvania woman annulled or suffer the consequences. Lives at Gallon. The first Mrs. Slick lives in Galion. O., where Slick filed his divorce suit about five years ago. Mrs. Slick filed a cross-complaint and asked for alimony. As a result, the court there refused to grant the divorce but gave Mrs. Slick alimony. Slick moved to Greenville, where he runs a fruit store. In 1912 he instituted proceedings against his wife, alleging that she abandoned him in 1910. She heard of the proceedings and notified the Darke county court. The second suit was thrown out of court. Slick then had his attorneys file a suit in the Wayne circuit court, alleging abandonment. He swore by affidavit that he did no know where his wife lived. The case came to trial October 9., 1913. Slick also swore that he had been a resident of Indiana for two years. He was granted a decree. Wife Denies Story. Mrs. Slick has written the prosecutor that she has been a resident of Galion for forty-two years, and that Slick has been sending her alimony there. She also declared he has never been a resident of Indiana. The second Mrs. Slick pleaded that something be done to adjust the matter. She. said she has been a hard working woman, and yielded to Slick's persuasions against the will of her children, whose animosity she incurred by the marriage. Slick told her he was 60 years old, when at the time of th marriage he was 70. Judge Fox fixed the first day of th April term of court as the date of appearance for Slick. This will bo April 5. GOES TO LEWISVILLE Steel Arm Taylor, one of the greatest colored twirlers in the country, who will be remembered by local fans as having shown here with the West Baden Sprudels, will manage and pitch for the Louisville White Sox the coming season. Last year Steel, as he is generally known, managed the A. B. C. colored champs of Indianapolis, and while with the team made an enviable record. There is a possibility of the local club exchanging dates with the Louisville club. BROKE UP HOME. Alleging she returned here from a visit and found that her husband had disposed of the household goods and broken up her home, Mrs. Lena Antalocy testified against Frank Antalocy in a divorce proceeding in court today. Mrs. Antalocy was granted a decree and was given the custody of a child. The grounds were desertion. Argentina has a new paving material made of ground rock and tar.

Grant, died last night at Rochester, Minn., at the Mayo institute where he was operated on a week or ten days ago. His home was at Rochester, N. Y., where for a number of years he had been engaged in business. News of his death, received today, came as a great shock to relatives and to his many friends. He had been making satisfactory progress following the operation until yesterday when his condition suddenly became critical, and death quickly followed. Few young men in Richmond twenty years ago were better known or more popular than Wilbur Grant. He was for a year or two connected with the newspaper fraternity of the city, being a member of the editorial staff of the Richmond Telegram in 1890 and 1891. One of the notable pieces of newspaper work that he did during his short career in journalism, was the reporting of the Hagerstown wreck in which a number of Richmond people lost their lives. Young Grant was the only one of the lotal newspaper men who reached the: scene in quick time, and his account of that disaster was the only complete one published. After leaving Richmond Mr. Grant went east, was married in Boston, Mass., and had been highly successful in business at Rochester, N. Y. Besides his wife, he is survived by his widowed mother, Mrs. George H. Grant, a brother, Edward Grant, of. Boston, Mass., and a sister, Mrs. Harry Mather of Richmond. No announcement of funeral arrangements has been made, though it is possible that the funeral and burial will take place at Rochester, N. Y. L.H.&P. MAY MOVE TO MASONIC TEMPLE Richmond Light. Heat & Power company has opened negotiations with the board of managers of the Masonic Temple for the leasing of the rooms formerly occupied by The Palladium. i Ono of the New York executive offi cers of the company is now in this city for that purpose. The company has a lease on rooms in the Wakefield building, Ninth and Main streets, which does not expire for seven years. Al H. Brown and H. L. I Ashley recently secured a 99 year ' lease on this building and it has been rumored that they have endeavored to have the Light, Heat & Power comi pany relinquish its lease so that a new j business concern can take over the j rooms. ! The recent organized German Amer ican bank had been mentioned as desiring to secure these rooms but it was learned today that the bank had closed the lease for rooms now occupied by the Western Union Telegraph company.
