HIGHER SALARIES ASKEDBYPASTORS AROUNDJISTRICT General Advance Will Place Ministers of District on Level With Others in M. E. Conference.

Increased salary for every pastor in the district including Dr. Goirerville Light, the new superintendent, "was given hearty endorsement toy the district stewards at their meeting during the annual session of the pastors and stewards of the Richmond district of the North Indiana Methodist Epis'copal conference which came to a close yesterday afternoon in the First M. E. church. A general advance of remuneration was advocated to place the salaries of the Richmond district pastors more nearly in accord with those of pastors in other districts of Indiana. The superintendent's salary will be approximately $3,000 based on nine per cent of the cash salaries of the ministers. Ask More Benevolences. The recommendation of the stewards included a similar enthusiastic endorsement of an Increase in benevolences and this will be given consideration during the meetings of the First Quarterly conferences beginning under the leadership of Dr. Light. The purpose of the stewards in endorsing the proposal of increase in salaries, was based upon the belief that more efficient services would be secured. The program for the afternoon session consisted largely of addresses by ministers regarding the new financial plan and its relation and value to the Methodist church. The speakers who discussed this subject were U. S. A. Bridge, R. C. Croxall, O. A. Trabue and Dr. Light. Other speakers were Leslie J. Naftzger who spoke on "The New Evangelistic Forward Movement for World Methodism," and J. W. Zerbe whose subject was, "Richmond District and Methodism's World-wide Task."

CHICAGO CAR MEN ASK HIGHER PAY CHICAGO, May 26. The conference between representatives of 11,000 motormen, conductors and other employes of the Chicago surface street car lines was discontinued today, following the announcement by President L. A. Busbey of the street car company that no increases in wages would be granted the men. The men's agreement with the company expires at midnight, May 31. CHANGES OF LIVING FOUR SCORE AND TEN SHOW NO BETTERMENT NEW YORK, May 26. "While the average duration of human life has been greatly extended during the past century, there has been no material addition to the span of human life," said Dr. Eugene L. Fisk, director of the Hygiene Life Extension Institute, in a speech before the delegates to the convention of the National Association of Manufacturers here today. "It is true that in certain countries such as Sweden, England and Wales, Prussia and Denmark there has been a gain in vitality at every age period of life during the past quarter century, but in this country, so far as we can determine from our exceedingly unsatisfactory registration records, there has been not only a failure to lengthen the span of life, but a positive loss in vitality at middle life and later, notwithstanding the fall in the general death rate. Faulty Living Habits. "This conquering of death, in the earlier age periods of life is due to man's success in meeting the massive frontal attacks of such enemies as diphtheria, tuberculosis, typhoid fever and diseases of infancy. "But we have been less successful in guarding against influences, agencies and infections which may be compared to submarine attacks, or to sapping and mining operations that reveal no enemy until an explosion occurs. Under this class of agencies we include faulty living habits which tend to disturb the functions of the body and impair the efficiency of our organs, ultimtaely causing them to break down; also chronic infections, which pass unEoticed often for years until announced by illness and physical failure." HOW TO REDUCE Continued From Page One. based on the true cash value instead of at fortyt fifty and fifty-five per cent, the present rate of assessment. Another suggestion made by Mr. Bowman which has been talked and wanted by private citizens, is the exemption of household goods to a reason amount which is $250 to $300, Mr. Bowman said. "There is no return from an investment in household goods," said Mr. Bowman, "but there is the expense of depreciation, the insurance, repair and other items of expense. Then if this exemption were made, the county treasurer could consistently levy for delinquency on such personal property, a thing which public opinion does not now permit because it probably would work a hardship on many whose sole possession is household goods." Tenure of Office. Mr. Bowman recommended that county treasurers be elected for a term of four years out of eight instead of for two two-year terms out of eight years. This would permit a more vigorous pursuit of the collection of taxes, remove the timidity such an officer has in his first two years in office and partially remove politics from the office. A recommendation was made that the county assessor, whose power now is merely advisory, be placed in general supervision of assessment, that he be a -resident of the county and that he work under the direction of the state board of tax commissioners would mean state control of assessment. Mr. Bowman also recommended that assessors be decreased in number with increased territory, increased length of service and 1 igher pay. Wants Special Assessors. He recommended less power and initiative lor the individual assessor and more for the so called higher powers which are now possessed of no more than advisory power. He recommended that special assessors be hired in large enough counties for the important classes of property, factories, corporations, retail business and real estate. One of the most important changes in the equalization plan, as recommenced by the county auditor, is In the power of the state board to make sweeping increases in certain localities. Now empowered with the right to increase only counties, hardships are worked upon the smaller taxing districts such as townships. Mr. Bowman recommended that the board be authorized to increase assessments by township as the county board of review now does. Increase Classification. Another plan of making increases was also suggested. Mr. Bowman said in some cases, it is found that the assessments on some specific class of property is found generally lower than the standard of assessment on other classes, for instance, real estate, corporations, automobiles, horses, personal property or other classes. He suggested that the state board be authorized to order increases by such classification. Many smaller weaknesses in the state laws were pointed out by the auditor who tesstified for more than an hour on the needs of Indiana fr assessment and collection.

SCREAM OF WOMAN STIRS NEIGHBORHOOD

Residents in the neighborhood of the first alley north of Main Btreet from Seventeenth to Eighteenth street were startled last night when two sharp reports, separated by a woman's scream were beard. This happened at 9:30 o'clock, apparently coming from the rear of a vacant lot fronting on Main street, next to the Margaret Smith Home. A search party looked for evidence of crime, but found nothing. Footsteps of a person running north in another alley were heard. Police also took part in the search. MARION STAYS IN DRY COLUMN BY LARGE VOTE Marion in yesterday's election emphasized its opposition to saloons when it voted by 3,094 against 2,365 to stay in the dry column. The drys carried every ward in the city, rolling up a majority of 729, which is a gain of 597, in comparison with a vote on the same question two years ago. Two years ago the wets carried seven precincts out of twelve, yesterday they got only three. The drys made gains of from 50 to 125 votes in each of the wards. The unusual majority over the saloons came as a surprise to the drys, who were counting on winning by at least 400. The overwhelming defeat of the wets is taken to mean that the saloon problem in Marion has been settled forever. The drys attribute their success to the quiet insistence of merchants and factory owners that the city remain saloonless. ASPHALT WINS Continued From Page One. ordered that the paving be of brick, but, of course, the decision of the property owners is final. While the property owners have been considering the kind of paving they desire certain city officials have been making an investigation to determine the desirability of asphalt as a paving. The result has been that they are more than ever convinced that the brick paving is by far the most serviceable and hygenic of the two. Ruts Wear in Streets. Here are some of the facts concerning asphalt paving which have been reported: Director of Public Works C. A. Proctor of Detroit, has urged that automobilists "be trained or compelled to avoid following precisely in one another's tracks," on asphalt streets to prevent wearing ruts in the paving. In Indianapolis city officials repeatedly urged the Barber Asphalt company, which controls the Trinidad asphalt market in this country, to repair Callowell street, even threatening legal action, but no repairs were made despite the company's guarantee. The pavement was finally taken up and relaid at the expense of the taxpayers. The most frequent objection to asphalt paving is that it is hot and dusty in the summer and noioy at all times. The dust is produced by wearing of the gritty surface. Physicians have asserted that asphalt dust is particularly injurious to the throat and lungs. Municipal authorities of Cincinnati, New York and Washington have placed the ban on Trinidad asphalt, which is the kind specified in the petition which has been circulated among North Astreet property owners. Prof. Ira Osborn Baker, an authority on asphalt, has assigned thirteen causes for the failure of asphalt as a paving material: Improper refining, leaving too great an amount of volatile oils, which causes disintegration. When the sand is too course or too fine, or contains too much clay. When there is too much oil in the binder, which may be absorbed by the top coat. When there is faulty manipulation in the heating and mixing, causing disintegration. When the paving cement is mixed too hard, causing cracks in cold weather. When the binder is too rich to work up, causing the top coat to go to pieces. When the mixture becomes chilled while being transported from plant to street. When the sand and asphalt separate while being transported. When the asphalt mixture is spread upon a damp or dirty foundation. When there is in adequate compression. When the concrete foundation is made too weak. When the foundation is porus,, letting water through, and freezing between the concrete and top coat. When ordinary illimuinating gas leaks and is absorbed by the asphalt, it will disintegrate and go to pieces. All leading cafes sell Minck Brewing Co.'s Cream Ale.

OLD TRAILS BOOSTERS ADD BOSTON TO LIST OF HIGHWAY BOOMERS

Boston township sees in the old trails movement a project that will bring improved roads to tnat part of Wayne county and a possibility that the Dixie highway route, which now reaches Cincinnati from Indianapolis via Dayton, may be changed to use the old Cincinnati-Indianapolis thoroughfare which runs through Boston. Influential men of the township met last evening and took steps to join the county-wide association. The following men who were appointed on the organization committee are asked to meet in the directors room of the Farmers' State bank next Saturday evening at 7:30 o'clock: J. C. Pyle, Joel Moore, J. W. Bennett, Charles Williams, G. R. Hart, J. T. Druley, Winfield Smelser, Harmon Tieman, Howard Williams, Thollie Druley, Lawrence Fleisch, A. F. Nelson, F. B. Jenkinson, P. L. Beard, Dr. J. J. Rife, J. L. Druley and L. E. Stanley. The meeting last evening was an enthusiastic one, and the opinion was unanimous that Boston township would be well represented at the Fourth of July celebration which is to centralize sentiment. A meeting will be held at Williamsburg tomorrow evening. A stop will be made at Webster to present the project there. 200 PERSONS HONOR FATHERS AT CHESTER CHESTER, May 26. Father's Day was observed at the M. E. church Sunday morning. Recitations were given by Alfred Kemp, Edward Muhl, Adelaide Kemp, Alice Minor, Dorothy Drew, Elmer Woodruff, Roxy Schatffer, Nelson Hunt, Two beautiful solos were given by Mrs. Boyd and Miss Ardella Worley. Two hundred persons attended the services. Mr. and Mrs. Lahman of near Richmond spent Sunday with Frank Huffman and family.

LIGHTING EFFECTS FEATURE COMEDY GIVEN BY SENIORS Final arrangements were being made this morning in the auditorium of the high school building for the production of the Shakespearean play, "Twelfth Night," by members of the senior class. A dress rehearsal, un der the sunervision of Director Karl I L. Dietz, was held about noon, and j the first performance was given this aftprnoon. ' Tonieht the second and last pro duction of the play will be given. The annual event under the auspices or the senior class invariably attracts wide attention, and interest this year is no less than has been evidenced on previous occasions. The advance sale of tickets indi cates that the entire auditorium will be filled with people at the performance this evenine. One feature of the play will be the lighting effects, originated by Mr. Dietz. His idea has been to carry out the different colors to correspond with the different staee settings or moods as the play progresses. There will be no footlights or border lights. Mr. Dietz said today that the play j would be as good as can possibly be j expected of a performance by ama- j teurs. Some of the members of the j raat will rio remarkably well, he de-, clared, and the acting of all will be worthy of notice. Germany has been Canada's princi-; pal source of seeds, and tnere nas been difficulty to supply the Canadian farmers this spring. THE USE OF SOAP SPOILS THE HAIR Soap should be used very sparingly, if at all, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which Is pure and greaseless), is cheaper and better than soap or anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocanut oil at any pharmacy, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. Adv.

SICKNESS DRIVES MAN TO STEAL TO LIVE

MINNEAPOLIS, May 26. Caritable residents of Minneapolis today were trying to obtain funds to send Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Delaney, both 24 years old, to some place where the young husband could receive treatment for tuberculosis. The couple walked to Minneapolis from Chicago, when the husband was discharged from a restaurant where he was chef, because of his illness. He could not find employment here, and when the last of their money was gone Mrs. Delaney sold her hair, which hung nearly to her k'nees, for $1.50. This money was soon gone, and the couple found employment on a farm near here. They were arrested accused of the theft of two rings, but when their story was told in court, they were released. The funds which were being raised today will be used to send them to Colorado. CHEER RUSSELL Continued From Page One. by a number of members of the Society of Friends and members of the college faculty. Dr. Kelly is not expected voluntarily to tender his resignation, thereby settling the most serious factional dispute which has brought discord into the Indiana and Western yearly meetings in many years. Late yesterday afternoon the trustees of the college reversed their decision not to adopt a rule barring both President Kelly, an ex-officio member, and Prof. Russell from the board sessions, and by a vote of 10 to 2, it is understood, decided that neither of the principals in the controversy should be present while witnesses were testifying. As Prof. Russell had attended the meetings yesterday under protests, he and his supporters were greatly pleased with the board's final action, which was not taken, however, until several witnesses, who had been suggested by Dr. Kelly, had given testimony in the presence of both principals. Friends of Prof. Russell asserted that the board finally decided to bar Dr. Kelly from the hearings to offset any future criticism that Dr. Kelly had dictated to the trustees their procedure in conducting the investigation. It was also stated that the rule barring Dr. Kelly and Prof. Russell from the hearings was adopted at the eleventh hour with the former's consent, although he had previously opposed the adoption of such a rule. Among the first to testify at the session held last evening were the professors who refused to appear as witnesses in the morning because Dr. Kelly was permitted to sit in the room. What testimony they give is not known, the trustees having pledged themselves to keep secret all the evidence submitted to them. The session last night lasted until a late hour and the investigation was resumed again at 8 o'clock this morning. Adjournment was taken at noon as all the trustees living outside the city were anxious to return to their homes. Some of the testimony received by the trustees last night became public today despite efforts to keep it secret. One prominent Richmond Friend informed the trustees that Dr. Kelly had declared that he had no further interest in the college as a denominational institution as he desired to have the college conducted along broader lines. This attitude on the part of Dr. Kelly, it is understood, is a cause of much opposition to his administration. The college is maintained and financed by the two large central yearly meetings for -which reason the members of these meetings naturally expect the institution to be conducted on a denominational basis. Another witness, it is stated, attempted to produce statistics showing that the finances of the college have been loosely supervised under the administration of Dr. Kelly, but the trustees refifised to receive such testimony for consideration, although the witness made two efforts to give such testimony. One of the men who has been most active in the movement aimed to oust Dr. Kelly from the presidency submitted the names of several well known Richmond citizens with the request that they be asked to testify as to their opinion of President Kelly's qualifications for the office he holds. The trustees, however, refused to comply with this request, stating that repreOvernight Relief For Constipation When the bowels become clogged with a mass of poisonous stomach waste, sick headache with all is attendant misery, belching of sour stomach gases, bloat and general discomfort are sure to follow.

THIS ROOM CLIMBS SAYS LIBERTY MAN BOARDING ELEVATOR

Evidently there are no elevators in Liberty, according to the elevator man at the court house. He was greatly amused by the Union county residents and the Lee county, Kentucky citizens brought here as witnesses in the Anderson Thomas murder case. First they laboriously plodded up the two long flights of marble steps to the court room on the third floor. These trips were frequent. Finally a 30-year-old Kentuckian ventured on the elevator with his mother while it stood on the first floor. He examined it with curiosity. "Lookee here, mama," he said. "They move this whole room upstairs. Say, how much did this thing cost?" he asked the elevator man. While the elevator arose two stories at what is regarded as a slow rate of speed, the two held their breath, and ; as it stopped with a jerk at the third j floor, sighed with relief. Then theyj emerged triumphantly before their ; neighbors. Envy soon overcome fear j and they all took a ride. After that i the elevator worked overtime. I sentative public opinion in Richmond as to the personality of Dr. Kelly had j no bearing on the matter under investigation. j Witnesses who appeared before the ! board last night and today stated that ; the attitude of the trustees toward' them was much more courteous and considerate than it had been and friends of Prof. Russell, as a whole, were quite well satisfied with the final outcome of the investigation. Some complained, however, that they had not been given sufficient latitude in their testimony. The ovation tendered Prof. Russell in chapel this morning was participated in by the entire student body and few if any faculty members have ever received such a tribute. As Prof. Russell concluded his brief address. Yell Leader Kemp jumped to his feet calling for "nine rahs for Russell." and the boys and girls responded with such vigor that the roof of the building shook. RekknA stops itching and burning!
