VISITATION CALL ENLISTS SCORES FOR DAY'S WORK Hundreds of Citizens Will Make Two-Hour Canvass of Richmond Homes to Collect Data.

RUSSELL SAGE FOUNDATION OFFERS SUGGESTIONS TO FIGHT LOAN SHARK EVIL

A deluge of names swept into the headquarters of the Richmond Home Visitation, in every mail today as the response to the call of pastors and priests and other religious leaders, for volunteers to visit the homes in the campaign to be held between 2 and 4 o'clock Thursday. Although J. Shreve Durham, who has charge of the campaign had no way of estimating the number of persons who volunteered to participate, he said that he felt assured that a sufficient number had responded to guarantee the completion of the work in the allotted time. George H. Knollenberg announced to his employes that any or all of them could take part in the campaign if they desired and that if necessary, the department store would close for two hours. It is presumed by Mr. Durham that other business men with whom the pastors have conferred will show a similar co-operation if necessary in meeting the requirements of the campaign. Make General Appeal. At Sunday-school, morning and evening services Sunday, the priests and the pastors in the Richmond churches appealed to their congregations for volunteers and outlined the purpose and intent of the ' Home Visitation canvass. A combined effort was made to secure one thousand men, women and children visitors, and Mr. Durham said that if this exact number was not obtained at least the lists of names which flooded the head office In the Masonic building today assured enough visitors to carry on the work. Fourteen district headquarters with a chairman for each one have been decided upon and each person who Consented to become a visitor, will receive a postal card bearing instructions and designating the headquarters at which he is to report. At 7:30 o'clock Wednesday night the visitors selected will meet in the auditorium of the High School building to hear final instructions.

A. H. Ham, director of the division of remedial loans of the Russell Sage

Foundation, has offered assistance to the Central Charity bureau In organizing a remedial loan association for this city, but Secretary Meloplder said today he would not take steps to create such an organization until capital is made available by those willing to invest. ' " ': The letter from the Russell Sage Foundation follows:, "I have lately received several clippings from the Richmond papers regarding your investigation of the loan shark business. I am , sending you some literature . on the subject of the remedial loan societies. These societies are organizations formed to lend money on the pledge or mortgage of personal property, endorsed notes, etc., at rates of interest sufficient to pay the cost of operation and to return reasonable dividends to Investors.

KEEVER IMPROVING

"Loans are usually made at a charge of about 2 per cent a month. The aggregate capital of these societies forming the National Federation of Remedial Loan association is nearly $13,000,000. In all cities their influence is shown by the closing up of numbers of loan shark offices and the adoption of better standards and more reasonable rates by the professional money lenders who remain in existence. "This division of the Russell Sage Foundation was organized for the pur-

post of improving small loaning con

ditions by encouraging, in co-operation with the national federation, the

establishment of remedial loan so

cieties. If after reading the pamphlets which I am sending, you desire to organize a similar society in Richmond,

I shall be glad to give you any assist

ance I can. A. H. HAM, - Director."

SOKERVILLE LIGHT COMES HERE SOON

Somerville Light, newly appointed superintendent of the Richmond district of the Northern Indiana M. E. conference, is expected to arrive the last of the week to take up his residence in this city. No definite announcement - can be made by . local Methodist pastors. The Rev. Mr. Light is living In the suburbs of Elkhart, where he was superintendent of the Goshen district.

fear he might be spirited away, but

when I was confident he could not be induced to leave the state I got a place for him in the Union county informary. The old man saw his son shot down and then clubbed to death. Old Feud Responsible. In relating the details of the crime Thomas is accused of, Sheriff Post said that last August Thomas came from his home in Cincinnati, where he was employed as a street car conductor, to visit his stepfather, Sol Griffin, said to be the last of the Griffin clan, whose feud with the Philpott clan was one of the most savage and relentless in the history of Kentucky. On the night of the second of August, last year, a group of men gathered under a tree on the place of Sol Griffin to play cards. Included in this group were the two Raders, Thomas and Griffin. A dispute finally arose, Thomas, the sheriff states, accusing young Rader of having attempted an attack on one of his relatives. Finally Thomas, the sheriff stated, picked up a shotgun and discharged it point blank 'at Louis Rader. The boy fell over, dying, and his father rushed to hold him in his arms. "Pray, boy, pray and ask forgiveness of your sins," moaned the grief-stricken father. Just then, Sheriff Post states, Thomas fired a second charge at the elder Rader, the shot taking effect in his face and chest. The old man fell over and feigned death. Beats Dying Man. Clubbing his gun, Sheriff Post states, Thomas began to beat young Rader over the head, "don't hit me over the head any more; you don't need to do it, I'm about dead." The clubbing continued, however, the sheriff states, until the victim had breathed his last. Thomas then fled, but was finally captured. John Rader slowly recovered from his wounds, and is now determined to avenge the murder of his son. "Sheriff Will Roach of Clay county, Kentucky, was in Liberty a few days ago, and he told me Thomas' stepfather, Sol Griffin, was one of the most dreaded of feudists in that section of the state," Sheriff Post said. "He said that when the Griffin family had practically been exterminated old Sol came to Indiana."

RECOMMEND WATER PLANT AT INFIRMARY

Members of County Charity

Board Suggests Improved Fire Fighting Facilities. The beautification of grounds surrounding the county infirmary buildings was asked Saturday by Postmaster Beck, chairman of the " county board of charities, in a report to the county commissioners. Part of the plan Included a sunken garden, 100 by 150 feet. Commissioners received the report enthusiastically and agreed to make many of the improvements suggested. The women members of the board asked for a temporary porch on the east side of the women's building which Superintendent Petro agreed to build. The kitchen and dining room which are in a separate building are also in need of repair. A new flue will be built and the old one will be used as the outlet for fumes when a metal cover is made for the cooking range. The fate of the water system asked by the board of charity investigation has not been decided. A tank of no less than 200 barrels capacity elevated twenty-five feet and placed on top of a hill was asked. This will furnish water pressure which will carry a fire stream over any of the buildings. Postmaster Beck will furnish the county commissioners information regarding canning Outfits.

MINNERMAN SELLS LAND FOR SCHOOL

For the first time in years a piece of ground was purchased by the township trustee for school purposes without encountering difficulties. To comply with the laws passed by the last legislature, a half acre of ground was added to the half acre on which No. 13 school at Elkhorn Falls stands. This school will be replaced during the summer by a new building. The purchase of the half acre was made Saturday, the township paying $80 for the ground. It was purchased from Charles F. Minnerman. "The ground is worth about $65 an acre in the forty acre plot, but I think $80 for the half acre for school purposes is a very reasonable price," Trustee Edgerton said today. "Rather than break up a farm and have a field made irregular, many farmers will force the township to resort to condemnation proceedings or hold up the price to $400 or $500 an acre."

his car out of the city, the opposite

airecuon irom wmcn tne rig was going, and was on the wrong side of the street The lights of the automobile were working poorly and the rig was almost hidden in a cloud of dust. Barry apparently did not notice that the rig was coming toward him until the car was quite near the rig. He then turned the machine sharply to his right and it struck the rig on

its left side. According to Cook's statement the car skidded as it turned, then the two wheels on the right side collapsed. Instantly the automobile turned over and rolled down an embankment. When it came to a

stop it Was resting on its top. All

the occupants of the machine were

thrown out when the wheels collapsed. Cook and Mrs. Barry were thrown the furthest and they were the first to revive. Both called for help and in a short time a number of people were assisting in the relief of the victims. Cook picked up his wife and carried her to a house about a block away. She died within twenty minutes without having regained' consciousness. Mrs. Cook had been sitting on the lap

of Mrs. McKeon on the rear seat. She

alighted head foremost on a pavement,

fracturing her skull. McKeon was on

the front seat with Barry. Two spokes

of the buggy wheel were driven into his groin, killing him Instantly. Body Brought to City. The body of Mrs. Cook was brought to Richmond Sunday evening in an automobile hearse and taken to the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Weaver, 220 North Sixteenth street. Mr. Weaver is a well-known building contractor. Mrs. Cook was a handsome and very popular young woman. She graduated from the Richmond high school in 1910 and for a time was employed by the Starr Piano company. She was married in the fall of 1913. Late Saturday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Cook went to Greenville to spend Sunday with her aunt, Mrs. John Stevens, and other relatives. Saturday evening Mr. and Mrs. Barry, who are close friends of Mrs. Elsie McKeon and her brother-in-law, Ray McKeon, who was killed, invited them and Mr. and Mrs. Cook to take an automobile ride. An enjoyable evening driving through the country in the vicinity of Greenville, was about to terminate when the tragedy occurred. In explaining the cause of the accident Mr. Cook says that Mr. Barry was of the opinion that the rig was being driven in the same direction the automobile was going. Mr. and Mrs. Weaver and Mr. Cook returned from Greenville on a train last evening. It was announced today that the funeral of Mrs. Cook would be held at the United Brethern church, of which she was a very active member, Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The other accident victim, Mr. McKeon, will be buried at Greenville tomorrow afternoon.
