HALF OF 28,000 CITIZENS CLAIM CHURCH RIGHTS . 14,840 of Persons Reached by Home Visitation Profess Membership in Some Religious Organization.

13,160 ARE IN DOUBT High Percentage of Church Affiliation Revealed Gratifying to Members of Ministerial Body. Richmond's. Home Visitation, the largest and most systematically conducted work eer done in this city in the interest of religion, conducted under the auspices of the International Home Visitation and the personal charge of J. Shreve Durham, Sunday school superintendent, was held between two and four o'clock Thursday afternoon. It vas an unqualified success in the opinion of Mr. Durham and every pastor, priest and committeeman who took .part in the organization and watched the results as they developed. A partial classification of the statistics which were obtained bearing on the religious status of the city, has been made: Cloudy and slightly inclement weather did not dampen the spirits of the more than eight hundred visitors who went from home to home. Considering the magnitude of the undertaking, the leaders afterward said that it was conducted with surprising ease and smoothness. Visit 28,000 Persons. In the city of Richmond proper and the suburbs, 28,000 persons were visited and of the 488 blocks which were diagramed, 482 reported. The remaining 6ix will be covered in a short time. Theie was k sufficient number of visitors to cover the entire area mapped out but in some districts there were more than enough visitors to canvass their respective territories and they left their headquarters before they could be notified that they could be used elsewhere. Of the total population in Richmond. La per cent claimed connection with some particular religious denomina.tlon. This makes a total of 14,840 people who assert church membership, ...leaving a balance of 47 per cent or 13,160 people - who . have no -church association. This is an unusually high percentage and would be extremely gratifying, if it was mot thought likely that there were some who claimed membership of church when they really had no connection. There were 12,500 invitation cards distributed and 12,700 record cards neori in tiio ramnaltn. The number of cards filled out was 9,300 showing an average of 3 1-16 persons to a iamny Few Decline Data. t.prs than three per cent of the people in Richmond failed to express a .mrr.h nrfirince and only a few iiiinoH tn zivA information. At near ly every home the visitors were re ceive 1 cordially and courteously. In many instances, the visitors heard pathetic stories at the home they visited. Some persons said they hadn't been to church in twenty years. &ii tio visttnrs met oromDtlv at 1:45 o'clock Thursday afternoon in the var ious headquarters or tne aistncis 10 which they had been assignee ine chairmen then gave final instructions and distributed the cards and Invitations In two automobiles a committee Shreve Durham.

Wilson and a Palladium representative went to five of the district headquarters where Mr. Durham received reports of the progress. At the First Baptist church where the committee arrived before the visitors had departed, Mr. Sittloh was introduced by Mr. Durham and made a short talk, emphasizing his pleasure in being here during the campaign. In his estimation, he said the Home Visitation was the most unselfish, most co-operative and the greatest movement which the churches have ever conducted. Durham Directs Moves. After visiting several of the headquarters, the committee returned to the office of Mr. Durham in the Masonic Temple where the superintendent keit in telephonic communication with the various chairmen. Mr. Sittloh after the results had been partly Learned expressed his gratification that Richmond had made so good a showing. He left last night for Chisago and will later return to his home in Denver. Mr. Durham in speaking today of the campaign said: "I think the work conducted in Richmond was a splendid success. Your city has reason to be proud of itself. The confidence and co-operation which has been evidenced throughout the organization and campaign In the visitation by the leaders, and visitors assured its success. The pastors and priests and other religious leaders can now follow up the visitation campaign. "I want to thank all the priests, pastors, chairmen, leaders, newspapers and friends who have assisted In bringing about success of the visitation and particularly the hundreds of visitors, without whose effort we Would have been helpless." The total cost of the campaign was $489.36 which is being secured by a committee which met this afternoon. DEAD FROM INJURIES. SHELBY VILLE, Ind., April 23.

SHE NEEDED WORK AND NOT CHARITY

"One of the best examples of pauperism I can point out is illustrated in a case I handled today," Secretary Melpolder of the central charity bureau said. "A well-dressed colored girl belonging to a family in which there are a number of young men and girls, the youngest 13 years old. came to me for help. I looked up the family record, and found that at least three or four could be god wage earners. I told her the family wanted work, not charity. She replied by saying, 'Oh, no. We have always received charity.' I don't know where she got the suit she was wearing, but it must have cost $18 or $20." THAW GRANTED TRIAL TO FIX SANITY STATUS May 17 Set as Day to Decide If White's Slayer Is to Return to Prison. NEW YORK, April 23. Harry K. Thaw has won his long fight for a sanity trial. Justice Hendrick of the supreme court today handed down a decision granting the slayer of Stanford White a hearing on May 17 to determine whether he is sane or insane.

Thaw took his victory calmly, smiling when the court banded down his decision. Thaw was heavily guarded in court and on his way there, because of reports that efforts would be made to rescue him from the authorities if the decision were against him. Deputies Guard Thaw. ' Four armed deputy sheriffs led by Under Sheriff Frank Bowers accompanied Thaw from his cell to the court room. They were instructed to use force of arms to prevent any attempt to help Thaw escape from custody. "It would be bard to carry out such a plot." said the sheriff, "but I am taking no chances." Thaw's attorney, John B. Stanchfield characterized the report that an effort would be made to rescue Thaw as "silly and bunk." . Th decision, was on a writ of habeas corpus sworn out by Stanchfield several weeks ago. , OPENS NURSERY WITH RECEPTION Domestic Science Society Invites Citizens to Inspect New Headquarters.

CLUB DEBATES WISEST POLICY IN LIGHT CASE Seidel Calls Utility Committee to Consider Proposed Purchase of L., H. and P. Plant by Condemnation.

SENTIMENT DIFFERS Bavis Opposes Suggestion to Lease Municipal Works to Competitor Others Argue for Competition. George E. Seidel, chairman of the public service committee of the Commercial club, said today that he would call a meeting of the committee at once for the purpose of discussing the action just taken by the city in instituting condemnation proceedings before the Indiana public utilities commission for the acquisition of the electric plant of the Richmond Light, Heat and Power company. "The question involved is one of vital importance to the citizens of Richmond, who are the stockholders in the municipal plant," Mr. Seidel said, "and it should be considered from every angle before any definite policy is formulated and carried out. My committee will discuss the advisa bility of calling a special meeting of all club members for the purpose of having a thorough discussion on the question." Former Mayor Approve. Public opinion on the question In volved appears to be considerably decided. Quite a number of citizens, including former Mayor W. W. Zimmerman, who has always been an ardent advocate of municipal ownership, indorse the plan to have the city secure a monopoly of the electric light ing and power business. A number of people have expressed themselves as being opposed to the elimination of competition in this business, either by the Light, Heat and Continued On Page Ten. MAYOR AWAITS MOVE OF CLUB FOR NEW LIGHT Haas Says Committee Wants Copy of 1915 Acts Before Taking Steps Before Works Board. Mayor Robbins today expressed hope that some definite action would be taken in the near, future for the installation of ornamental lighting systems in the Main street business district and section of Fort Wayne avenue and North E street: He said the board of public works was looking to the Commercial club to institute the necessary proceedings to provide for such improvements. "We have been waiting to secure a copy of the law passed by the last legislature, which provides the method to be pursued for the installation of ornamental lighting systems," Secretary Haas of the Commercial club said today. "The public improvement committee of the club hopes to get busy on this project soon, as its thoroughly familiar with the procedure it must follow." Copies of the acts of the 1915 legislature were received by a number of local attorneys and city and county officials over two weeks ago. The ornamental lighting law provides that petitions to have such systems installed must be signed by at least seventy-five per cent of the property owners in the block or blocks to be Improved. Property owners must also be assessed for a share of the cost of installing and maintaining such systems. Under this law it will cost property owners a little more to install ornamental lights than would have been the case if it had been possible to make the improvements under the plan which was originally agreed to by the board of public works and the Commercial club. EATON MAN OFFERS STREET OILER FOR $365 TO RICHMOND Most attractive of the several bids submitted to the board of public works to supply a street oiling wagon was that submitted by H. W. Curry, an Baton (O.) contractor, providing his machine is found to be in first-class condition. He used the machine four days last year, and now offers to dispose of in for $365, freshly painted. It has a capacity of 600 gallons. The next lowest price quoted for a machine of equal capacity was $474. Bids for a street sweeper, which is to be a part of the city's street oiling equipment, ranged from $250 to over $500. No contracts for either oiler or sweeper have yet been awarded. Board members and Engineer Charles went to Eaton today to inspect Curry's machine. Incidentally they will inspect the new kind of street paving being put down in that city, composed of a mixture of concrete and asphalt and said to be very serviceable. The off if icials before returning to Richmond this evening will go to Hamilton and Middletown, O., to inspect asphalt streets being put down these.

FOUR CHILDREN GO TO WHITE'S SCHOOL

The fourth Is Clarence Ward, 4. John Phares and Ethel Wickes will be brought back. The Wickes girl will be taken by her grandmother and the boy will go into the custody of his mother, who has re-married since the children were taken to the institution. BLUE PROMISES HEALTH SURVEY BY O.SJXPERT Message From Health Department Says Availability of Officer Will Delay Definite Decision of Bureau. "On account of the deep interest of the state health commissioner and others, and the request received from them, I am desirous of sending an officer to Richmond. Definite decision necessarily delayed on account of lack of immediate availability of officer. All officers now engaged with important details. "BLUE, "Surgeon-General." Richmond's concerted effort to bring a tuberculosis expert here to make a survey of the city and the second of Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health to the request made by various organizations to Surgeon General Blue, were effective. The foregoing telegram from Surgeon General Blue is construed as the word of the United States Health department that a man will be sent to the city. It 13 now believed only a question of the time when a man is available for the duty. The movement was started only a 6hort time ago by the Federation of Women's clubs who Wrought Assistant Surgeon General Cofer here. The health survey will take approximately three months and the only expense win be the living expenses of the expert while he is in this city, with a slight possibility that the government win pay this Itera.i , , ..... , DROP BOOSTER TRIPS FROM CLUB ACTIVITY Probably no more booster trips will be recommended to Ivertise Rich' mond and to give publicity in a per sonal way to celebrationis and events held here. Lee B. Nusbaum, chairman of the Commercial club publicity committee, which is the former advertising committee, said today he would call his committee together for its first meeting in a short time, probably next week, before the May directors' meeting. "I do not believe booster trips do much good," Mr. Nusbaum said. "There Is some doubt as to what form of advertising is best." The local organization of the National Old Trails' association, the centennial celebration committee and committees in charge of similar events have asked that the committee give assistance. Because of the centennial celebration plans, the matter of holding a Fall festival in 1915 probably will not be brought to a vote. 24 PUPILS RECEIVE MORE THAN PASSING GRADES ON PAPERS J. J.

COUNTY ATTORNEY HOLDS INTERURBAN MAY INCREASE RATE County Attorney Hoelscher will submit an opinion tomorrow to the board of county commissioners to the effect that it will be useless to attempt to, act contrary to the ruling of the public service commission of Indiana increasing traction rates to two cents a mile, he said today. That the county commissioners were the agents of the state of Indiana in granting the franchise to the traction company for Wayne county in 1902 and were empowered as agents of the state to fix the traction rates for this county, and that the ruling of the public utilities commission is merely a change of rates by a higher power of the state of Indiana, is the basis of the opinion which will be submitted. It Is understood this was also to be the grounds of the traction company should the case come to court in which they would be required to prove their right to make the increase contrary to the provisions of the franchise which provided for a rate of one and twothirds cents per mile.

SMILES AT VICTORY Former President Claims Ivins His Best Friend, But Latter Refuses to Acknowledge Honor. SYRACUSE, N. Y April 23 Colonel Roosevelt won an - important victory over William Barnes in their fight when Justice Andrews rebuked ; William Ivins of Barnes' counsel, and ruled the colonel could answer ques- ; tions in his own way. "I'll strike out what I deem lmproper." said the courtNettled by the triumphant attitude , of the colonel and his cohorts, Mr. ' Ivins lost his equanimity and demanded that the colonel be treated as "an ordinary witness." The court said he was and would be. The conflict was precipitated when ; Ivins touched on the removal of In- ' surance Commissioner Tayne in 1899. "Was not Mr. Tayne removed? asked Ivins. "I would rather say he was got out of office," said the coloneL Explains His Fight. "Did you appoint his successor? Mr. Roosevelt said he did. "But-had I known all conditions then my attitude In 189S and 1899 would have been the same as it is now, snapped the colonel. "I did not ask that, snapped Ivins. "What do you mean?" "I mean that 1 would have made , the same fight then that I am making ' now, had I known of these conditions." ' said the witness. . -tf.n i i i Loses: Wis Ternpetv i -. "I move that be stricken out," snapped Mr. Ivins. losing his temper lor i the first time. "You must let him finish. said At- , torney Bowers. "This witness must be treated as f any other witness," retorted Ivins. "He must not make political speeches to I the Jury. "Mr. Ivins," sternly said Justice Andrews, "this witness will be treated as any other witness." i "I apologize, your honor," said Mr. Ivins, and proceeded. The quiz then turned on the Tayne matter, which brought forth the fireworks. Mr. Roosevelt said he entertained Barnes at his house, but never met him alone. Denies Holding Conference. "I extended my hospitality to Mr. Barnes in Washington," be said. "And in Albany?" "I believe so." "And to Mrs. Barnes?" "And to Mrs. Barnes, too." said the colonel, repeating the question, "but I never held a meeting with htm alone." Colonel Roosevelt was the happiest man In Syracuse today. He told his friends that his case had been clinched and that the props had been knocked from under the complaint of Mr. Barnes. The colonel . was particularly jubilant over the outcome of the duel of wits in which he had engaged Thursday with Mr. Ivins, chief counsel for the plaintiff. "Mr. Ivins is the best friend I have in the world," said the colonel to one , of his lawyers. When the remark was I repeated to Mr. Ivins he made no com ) ment, unless a grunt of scorn could be taken for comment. Why They Parted. Damon and Pythias and David and Jonathan were no more devoted to each other's interest than were Theodore Roosevelt and William Barnes before the Colonel discovered, he said.'? that Mr. Barnes was a Dr. JekyI and Mr. Hyde. When Hyde got the upper band Mr. Roosevelt and Barnes fell j out. The colonel was interested in j Barnes, because he was trying to reform him, according to bis testimony under examination by William Ivins today. He believed Barnes above the average politician morally and he wanted to make him a useful citizen. According to Colonel Roosevelt, Mr. Barnes was a Jekyl and Hyde, and he wanted I to preserve Dr. Jekly.. but Hyde ab- ! sorbed him. c When Mr. Hyde got the upper hand in 1907, the colonel and i Barnes came to the parting of the i ways. ."-?v . . , - " , .
