BESSELHAN GETS

DIVORCED FROM MUNICIPAL JO

Health Board Secretary Dr.

Smelser Dissatisfied With Crematory Head's Work

and Lets Him Out.

NO SUCCESSOR CHOSEN

Plant Remodeled But Not Operated Satisfactorily Smelser Has Had Trouble vWith Besselman Lately.

Dissatisfied with the way the city crematory has been operated for some time past Dr. S. G. Smelser, secretary of the board of public health, has discharged Harry Besselman, superintendent of the plant since the Robbins administration came Into office. Besselman was removed from office several days ago but the announcement of this action was not made until today. No one has been appointed to succeed him. At the present time George Jenkins, who was Besselraan's assistant, has charge of the crematory, Roy Long being his assistant. "If Jenkins makes good he will be appointed superintendent. If he don't

some one else will be tried out," Dr,

Smelser said today. "I am determined

to have that plant operated as efficiently as is possible." Poor Work Done.

The crematory was reconstructed

early this year at an expense of about $4,000 and it now has three incinerators which are large enough to dispose of all the garbage of a city twice the size of Richmond. The plant is an excellent one in every detail but the work has not been done in a satisfactory manner since it was rebuilt, the health board secretary asserted. Dr. Smelser also admitted today that on several occasions he had to reprimand BeBselman for drinking. He also stated that at times Besselman neglected his work and that he had been a trouble maker. Dr. Smelser said that although he had been obliged on several occasions to reprimand Besselman for not doing his work satisfactorily Besselman frequently complained to the mayor and the members of the board of public works that he had too much work to do. Besselman, It is understood, recently asked that some one be appointed to act as plant superintendent for two or three weeks but Secretary Smelser decided the best plan would be to relieve Besselman permanently of all duties connected with the management of the crematory.

CHRISTIAN CHURCHES OF COUNTY

HOLD MEETING AT JACKSON PARK Wet Weather No Deterring Influence and Hundreds Attend Annual Rally and Discuss Growth of Denomination in Wayne County.

WANTS ESTATE VALUED Clinton Martindale of Greensfork, appeared before Judge Comstock in circuit court this morning, asking for the court to fix the value of the estate cf Elisha B. Reynolds, deceased. The appraisement will be used in fixing the amount of inheritance tax to be paid by the state before it is partitioned out. The estate amounts to about $13,(;00, but there are several montgages on the two farms near Hagerstown. There are two heirs to the estate, Levi J. Reynolds and Clyde B. "Reynolds, sons of the deceased.

Between four and Are hundred people attended the annual meeting of the Christian churches of (Wayne county yesterday at Jackson park, .and it is estimated that as many more who had intended motoring to the meeting were kept away , by the rain. . It was the most successful gathering of the kind held in years, and mueh enthusiasm was displayed. People ' began arrlvinc as early- as 8:45 o'clock, and when the Sunday school began its session at 10 o'clock there were about 150 in attendance, the . majority being from . Richmond, Milton, Dublin and Cambridge City i Communion services were held at 1130, and over three were present, i Hold Social Hour. , Following the ' communion came ' an hour of social fellowship, during which an" elaborate dinner was served in the house. It had been intended to serve dinner under the trees, but the rain made this impossible, and the change proved to make the meeting more successful, for It brought the people into closer contact, and many new friendships were formed,

The Milton orchestra of ten pieces,

led by G. W. Jones, county superintendent of all the Christian church, rendered some really excellent numbers, and Mr. Jones was given an ova

tion for the entertainment furnished. Ralph Little of the First Christian church sang two solos, "Open the Gates of the Temple," and "The Judgment."

Two numbers were given by the! Milton quartet,' At 11 o'clock Rev. W. R. Motley preached the sermon to over four hundred persons, taking for his text "The Eleventh Commandment." A New Commandment I Give Unto You. That you Love One Another as I Have Loved You." -Three Aspects of Theme. -

He took three themes for his discourse, pointing out the motives , of love, the importance of love, and the true reasons of love. In summing up, Rev. Motley said that if every one would follow the teachings of Christ and love his fellowman as Christ loved the world, then the problem of peace, race . and commercial disagreements would be .settled.. At 4 o'clock special cars brought the Richmond contingent home. ' - . .-v.; Central Christian church had the largest delegation, their being seventyfive present. Milton had the second largest representation with sixty. During the afternoon the business session was held and ways and means were discussed as to the best way to continue the work of the church In Wayne county. There was no election of officers, all the old officials being held over. It was the unanimous opinion of the people that the first Sunday in August be named as the day on which all future annual meetings be held, and it was decided to hold next year's session in Jackson park.

PERRY FAVORS HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTIVES Government Expert Believes County Needs Institution to Care for Tuberculosis Within Its Confines.

CONSCRIPTION FOE THE BRITISH ARMY

SPLIT

Continued From Page One Only six of the forts defending the Vistula river fortress are now tenable. There has. been no lessening in the vigor of the Austro-German offensive since the fall of Warsaw. If anything

it has been increased with the exception of the district immediately 6outh of Riga. Progress is reported for the Austro-German forces from every part of the eastern battle front. Uhlans Forced Back. North of the Eckau river Geneml von Buelow weakened his forces in order to strengthen the army driving against the defenses of the WarsawPetrograd railway east of Ponewjesh. Consequently, the German Uhlans had to give ground slightly before superior forces. A steady advance northward is being maintained by the Austro-German

forces of Arch-Duke Joseph Ferdinand and Field Marshal von Mackensen, that are driving northward from the Lublin-Cholm lines. Austria-Hun

garian troops have reached the bend

of the Wieprz river thirty miles north mm jlm

Wayne county is in need of a tuberculosis hospital that can acommodate about twenty-five patients, is the opinion expressed by Dr. I. C. Perry the government health expert, who has been investigating conditions in Wayne county for some time. Dr. Perry would. not say that he thought conditions here were any worse than those found in other communities, but he inferred that a hospital is needed. The expense involved In the erec tion and maintenance of such an institution would have to be borne by the

county, for if the hospital was built by public subscription it would become

a burden in time. Dr. Perry said that when the county bears the expense a man does not feel that he is accepting charity when it is necessary for him to go to the hospital or send one of his family there, as he would if the hospital was supported by the general public. There is a state law empowering the county council to appropriate money for the erection of a tuberculosis hospital if it is recommended by the board of county commissioners. Dr. Perry said that it was a public duty to look after those suffering from tuberculosis and that his investigations were carried on with the idea of arriving at the conclusion whether such an

institution was needed -or not and for statistical purposes.

LONDON, Aug. 9. Th work of reglstring all British men and women, an action that will give the government good ground upon which to carry out conscription, was begun today.

Upon each form is a list of questions for all members of the household between the ages of 15 and 65 to answer. The questions relate to age, health conditions, occupation and other individual qualifications.

BERLIN, Angi 9. The ."splendid organization', of which Germany boasts covers even the distribution, of war news in the rural districts. All successes gained by the armies of the empire in the east and west become known within a few hours in farm - houses that are miles from the nearest telegraph or telephone station. : This is accomplished by a very simple system. The schoolmasters of all small Tillages which, have no newspapers are Informed by telegraph or telephone whenever a victory has been won somewhere.; After telling . their classes what has happened, the rural educators dismiss school and the pupils run home, shouting "Hurrah" and telling everybody the glad tidings.

During vacation time the boys come

to the school house once or twice ' a day to get the news the teachers may

have received..

- As a rule this system works admirably, but some times it causes funny

The children get the reports mixed up, or in their patriotic seal they so enlarge upon them that their stories become as fanciful as the reports of the British or French war correspondents. , In a little village of MecklenburgSchwerin the schoolmaster the other day informed his - pupils that the French were badly defeated to the Argonne forest and that Hindenburg and Mackensen had captured 10,000 more Russians. A small boy whose geographical knowledge does not go very far beyond the limits of his native town Joyfully reported at home: "The Russians are now In France; ' they have licked the French in the Argonne and captured ten thousand, but Hindenburg and Mackensen are after them."
