DOUBLES EFFORTS FOR COUNTY ROAD

Efforts to secure the twenty miles additional of county road in Jackson township have been doubled since the residents learned that the township if paying taxes for the maintenance of twenty-five miles of road and there are only five miles on which any re turn is being received. that the net assessment of property in Jackson township, Cambridge City, Mt. Auburn, Dublin and East German town is little less than $3,000,000. The free turnpike levy is 9 cents. This makes the total contribution of Jockson township for county roads, $2,560. 80. CARS ON C. & 0. CRUSH EMPLOYE AGAINST STATION H. C. Capehart Suffers Seri ous InjuryAuto Truck Runs Over Buelah Bowman, !0-Year-Old GirL In a railroad accident about 1:30 o'clock this morning, H. C. Capehart, an employe of the C. and 0.f was seriously and perhaps fatally injured. About 8 o'clock this morning Beulah Bowman, the 10-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Bowman, 416 South West1 Second street, was run down by an automobile truck and painfully, but not seriously, hurt. Standing m front of the north end C. and O. freight station early this morning, Capehart signaled for a cut of cars to be backed down. There is only seven Inches clearance between the side of a freight car and the west wall of the station at one point, and it was there that Capehart was standing. The first car to pass crushed him. After he had been removed to the hospital it was discovered that his chest had been crashed somewhat, his right collar bone fractured, and his left collar bone dislocated and that a bone had entered one of his lungs. A tuU, The little Bowman glri was pitying with a bouncing ball in front of her home. It got away from her and she ran Into the street to recover it, not noticing an : approaching auto truck owned by the William F. Hendrix Contracting . company. Before the driver could stop the machine the girl had been knocked down and a front and rear wheel of . the the truck passed over her legs. She was carried into the bouse, and an examination failed to reveal anything more serious than severe bruises. PERJURY COUNT CONFINES SLICK IN WAYNE JAIL Thomas Slick, 72, of Greenville, O., was arrested early today at Union City, Ind., and 1s in the county jail here charged with perjury, on an indictment returned yesterday by the grand jury. The arrest of Slick is the second chapter of court proceedings brought in ithis county against him.. Prosecutor Reller last week petitioned Judge Fox to open a divorce granted Slick in 1913 so that other steps could be taken to abrogate the decree.; Slick has since married a Pennsylvania woman. The charge of perjury carries, with it a, penitentiary sentence of two o twenty-one years. The trial will be held in April. An effort will be made to straighten out Slick's matrimonial entanglements so that neither of his wives will be embarrassed by the affair in the future. It is said Slick started his efforts to secure a divorce in 1910, when he filed a complaint at Gallon, O. On his wife's cross-complaint the court there ordered him to pay Mrs. Slick alimony, but he was refused a divorce. He then tried in other Ohio courts, but each time Mrs. Slick heard of the attempt and prevented the granting of a decree. By use of false affidavits, one alleging his wife deserted him in 1900, the aged man was able to be divorced in this county, and he went immediately to Pennsylvania where the second marriage was performed. The divorce was granted October 8, 1913. WANT TO PLACE WOMEN IN ASYLUM Efforts are being made by F. G. White and Dwight Young to have commitment papers to Easthaven " made out for Mrs. Elmira Scott, colored, who has been confined in the Home for Friendless Women for twelve months. The home is crowded and the insane asylum has been unable to take the additional patient. - EXPLAINS HIS VOTE. John W. Judkins of Cambridge City, who has represented Wayne county in the last two legislatures, denied today the report that he had in both sessions voted against the nine-hour working law for women. He said be had. supported this measure both times.

CHINA MODELS COUNTRY'S LIFE AFTER AMERICA Fletcher Brockman, Return ed Y. M. C. A. Worker, lells Business Men of Opening in New Republic. LAND NEEDS LEADERS Government Wants Ameri cans to Organize Railroads, Open Mines and Conduct Business Activities. "If the United States would simply sell every Chinaman a fountain pen this year, the trade income would be twice that of our entire trade with Germany in a year," said Fletcher S. Brockman, speaking before an audience of sixty-five business meen at the Y. M. C. A. last night. Mr. Brockman. who is at the head of the Y. M. C. A. in China, sharply criticised the attitude of many of pur citizens in regarding the growth and expansion of China as the "yellow peril." "The Chinese,' he said, "honor and admire everything American. The patron saint of China today is George Washington, and you will find his pic ture" hanging on the walls of coolie huts far back in the interior. "When the Chinese changed their system of education they adopted the American plan. When the form of government was changed they adopted a republican form, modeled after our own. Picture Two Republics. "The Chinese have a picture of two republics. One in the east and one in the west; the, United States and Chi na;, two powers united together, whose power will stop war forever. This is the sincere hope tf every intelligent Chinese citizen.; ; . ' K . Mr. , Brockman 'told of. th fittiUide of the former Tanchu "govemmec: which was opposed to all outside Intercourse,' and had always maintained a stand against the opening of trade with , foreign powers. This had been brought on, he said, through the fear of European powers. Under the new republic, there has been a desire to ex-J pand. The Chinese are welcoming foreign companies. He said that the president of the Republic was a shrewd business man who knew when to top and when to open up trade. Transportation Primitive. "One of the great drawbacks to the development of China has been the lack of transportation facilities," he said. .. 'Tea has been carried one thousand mile on men's backs. They want American business men to come over there and build railroads, and open up mines and equip the new buildings with machinery." He said the coal fields which havo recently been discovered in China are said to be large enough to supply the world with coal for one thousand years and that it is of better grade that the best Pennsylvania anthracite. "The great need at the present time in China is better trained labor and machinery to increase the output of the laborers," said Mr. Brockman. "China has 400,000,000 laborers, and they are the most peaceful and patienf workers in the world, but it takes four hundred men to do the work that is done by' one American in the rice flelds.'' To illustrate the trade ppssibilities, he said, "If we could sell each Chinese as much as we sell each Cuban in a year, the income of the United States would be $10,750,000." China Needs Men. He said there was need for an aver age of three or four Y. M. C. A. secre taries in each of the larger cities. By placing these men he said it would be easy to capture the great cities and rule the larger provinces, because of the influence of the Y. M. C. A. "We are on the verge of a marvelous awak ening in China," he said In conclusion. J. M. Clinton, of Tokyo, Japan, spoke briefly on the possibilities which have been developed in the east after the formation of the Chinese republic. He had charge of a colony of Chinese students who came to Japan to study, and was a factor in organizing the first Y. M. C. A. among them. He said Ameiica has the confidence of the Chinese citizens, and that China should never be regarded as a menace to this country. PARALYSIS ATTACKS REV. M. DINGLEDEY Stricken with paralysis, the Rev.

BOARD CHECKS WARM DISPUTE OVERJJGIITING Schwegrman and Knopf Grow Restive in Argument Over Removal of Lamp From Saloon Corner. '" Location of a street lamp at the cor ner of' South Fifth and D streets today provoked one of the hottest disputes heard by the. board of public works in many , weeks. George Schwegman, who lives on the south west corner of South Fifth and D streets, and Louis Knopf, who operates a saloon on the opposite corner, bom barded each other verbally with such vigor that President Bavis was forced to demand a suspension of hostilities. "Gentlemen, I protest against such actions," shouted . Mr. Bavis. "This board refuses to be dragged into a neighborhood brawl." Kno: f demanded the removal of the lamp to its former location, about a third of a block south of the corner. Schwegman opposed such action, saying it had taken him three yearc to have it placed on the corner. The board refused to act, saying that coua cil had ordered the lamp placed where it now is and if it was to be removed to its former location council would have to instruct the board to that effect. Petition Asks Removal. Knopf then presented Councilman Walterman, who was responsible for having the lamp changed, a petition signed by twenty-two - property own ers asking Its removal from the cor ner. He will, present it to council. Schwegman- heatedly, informed the board that the Knopf saloon was a nusiance to him without a lamp on the corner. He said automobiles con gregated on D street at the side of the saloon in summer, , ' "If he is running a, place in the way it should not be run why doesn't he want the lamp on the corner?" de manded Schwegman.; ' "None of your business," shouted Knopf, who then explained that there was one street lamy 150 feet from the corner, another 100 feet and the corner was sufficiently lighted without hav ing a lamp placed on the corner. ' "This man Schwegman has a grudge against me and he had the lamp placed on the corner to spite me, Knopf said angerly. , RICHARD SMITH DIES hT TOPEKA; KANSAS A telegram received by Henry Deuker, today from George B.

MORBID CROWDS SWARM MORGUE TO SKVICTIMS Curiosity Draws Stream of Persons to View Tragedy Wrought by Jealousy of Nathan Hilling.

BURIED TOGETHER Cully Remains Weak From Loss of BloodRepeated Probes Fail to Disclose Location of Bullet. Into one large grave the bodies of Nathan Hilling and Jessie Hilling, his wife, were laid to rest this afternoon at Earlham cemetery, side by side. Tuesday night Hilling, erased with jealousy and because his wife refused to return home with htm, shot her through the head as she reposed on a couch at the home of relatives, 300 Richmond avenue. He committed suicide In a barn In the rear of the house after attempting to kill his son-in-law Lee Saunders, Laurel street, and seriously wounding Patrolman John Cully. 8erve as Pall Bearers. Members of the family" without exception agreed that there should be a double funeral service and that man and wife in death should be together as In life. Members of the family also served as pall bearers. Last night a most unusual manifestation of morbid crowd curiosity was witnessed at the morgue where the two bodies were. Men and women poured into the building for two hours the same as though they were being attracted by a melodramatic film at a "movie" theatre. A little after 8 o'clock men on duty at the morgue got the crowd oat on the street, then locked the door. . Crowds Visit Moraue. - When-the night c&retaker unlocked the doora shortly before o'clock this morning a man was waiting to see the bodies. 'He Lad no sooner left than other people began to arrive and from that time on until noon there was a steady stream of visitors to the morgue. The condition of Officer John Cully, who is at his home, 21 Southwest Second street, was somewhat improv ed today but he is very weak from shock and loss of blood. The bullet which struck him first inflicted a slight wound in his right wrist and then entered the right leg close to the groin. Every effort to locate the ball by probing has failed and it is prob able that an X-ray photograph will be taken of the wounded leg. Although Cully was wounded in the performance of his duty he must pay out of his own funds the expenses of medical and surgical treatments. The city, however, generously keeps him on the payroll while he is incapacitated. Coroner Morrow will begin his investigation of the double tragedy tomorrow.

The tangle caused here by the landing of the first and second cabin passengers yesterday was straightened out today by orders from Washington that all who could pass the inspection test might be allowed to remain ashore. Five smartly dressed women, under the leadership of an elder womia, who were bound from Havre to Buenos Aires, when their ship was sunk by the Prinz Eitel. came under the ban. however. They were adjudged undesirable and ordered returned to th

German ship. A new sensation developed when it became known that her captain was still holding the papers of the American bark William P. Frye, which the German warship sank on Januay 27. The papers have been demanded by Collector Hamilton, but thus far the German commander has not yielded. Collector Hamilton made the follow ing statement: "Up to this time the master of the German craft has not conceded tho right of the master of the Frye to his papers, and is holding them, contending that they should be held and sent to Germany, where certain questions concerning the destruction of the American hull may be decided by a German prize court. The captain of the Prinz Eitel, however, agreed to deliver to me copies of the Frye's papers, but I have requested that he hand me the original papers and keep copies, and he now has this request under consideration." While wireless dispatches reportedeight French and British cruisers rushing toward the Virginia coast to lie in wait for the Prinz Eitel, the United States began a formal investigation of the sinking of the Frye, today. Collector Hamilton, acting upon instructions from the state department, boarded the German vessel by appointmeut with her captain. Commander Thiv jrlchens, to secure his version of the destruction or the American ship. That the German embassy at Washington regards the inquiry as being of -importance was shown by its action In sending here Captain Boy-Ed. its naval attache. The German flag drooped over the stern of the Prinz Eitel this forenoon in token that her captain had not yet decided to let the ship be interned. In this connection it was stated that twenty-four hours' notice had been sent to the German commander to leave the harbor, this was a matter of form and no actual ultimatum would be delivered pending the results of today's inquiries There is no doubt that if the Prinz Eitel's captain should elect to leave his refuge and if the United States should permit him to do so, the ship will run into a cordon of warships from which it will be unable to escape.
