That the ballot box In the hands of motherhood, used in a wise, womanly way, wouia iroma uiw the United States, was the contention of Dr. Carolyn Gelsel in her plea for the protection of America's daughters, made before an audience of two thousand people at Chautauqua yesterday afternoon. : Describing this enslavement as worse by far than the Mac slavery oi past decades, she said that last year 1,700 girls and women were. lost to their families and homes through the -practice which continues in the larger cities. Immigrant girls, coming alone to the shores of the United States, are snatched from the gangplank, she claimed, by "harpies" and "vultures'' who watch and closely inspect the women coming in on each ocean vessels. .' .: I .... -With voice choked by feeling and with tears in her eyes, Dr. Geisel spoke to her almost motionless audience, por traying the working woman of the sweat-shops, mills and factories, and the conditions under which she labors. ; Ttoe speaker recalled many places she had visited, cases m wnicb tne meaicai experience and knowledge were required, and told heart-rending tales of cases of poverty, commercial cruelty 'and disease, each having its source In the lack of America's appreciation of potential motherhood. Need for Training. - There was a drastic need, too, she said, for the teaching of the rising gen oration of young men of a keener appreciation of the vlrtuse and holiness of motherhood. Dr Geisel congratulated Indiana .upon having Purdue university, the first educational institution to establish a department for the teaching of home-life ana home-making for gm students. Giil.' '"-' bo trained for motherhood., '' " insisted. ' "There '!- 'lirm 'girls and women cn!tfS 'tnmercial work and six million f these are in the sweat shops and the mills, grinding out their pitiful daily existence to fatten the cantains of commerce. Tne Amer lean daughter is self-supporting, but what is America doing to protect her and protect the sons and daughters of .tomorrow? Revere Motherhood. "Every girl In the United States should be trained for motherhood. The jana is carpeiea wim me graves ot s little ones. because the mother did not know. She should learn to rear scien tifically her sons as a farmer scientifically raises bis hogs. ' "America should reverence the chas tlty and purity of womanhood because woman's place in nature is the holiest place. Every woman, if God's laws - are carried out, has the making in her of a Madame Gladstone. CATHEDRAL CHOIR PLANS FOR RETURN DATE NEXT WINTER Members of the Cathedral choir, which closed its engagement with the Richmond Chautauqua last night, after rendering a concert of sacred and operatic music before an audience of approximately two thousands people, will probably seek an engagement In this city sometime during the winter. The company made a deep impression, evidently, upon Richmond Chautauquans during the stay here. Of the company. Mr. Persson, pianist and musical director, and Miss Fallon, contralto singer, will probably appear here this winter. ' In the bigger numbers, Mr. Persson displayed a full, virile tone and an unusually clear technique, while bis imitation of a music-box was one of the brightest bits of comedy of the .evening. , Miss Fallon 6howecl a true conception of the Italian temperament in her singing of the old Neapolitan ballad, "O Sole Mio.' ;nd captivated her .audience with hci interpretation of "Believe Me if All Those Endearing Young Charms." She is a protege cf Madame Schu-'manh-Heink, who has made plans for her future. Arrangements are now being made for her appearance with the Chicago Grand Opera company. Miss Edna Palmer, lyrio soprano, who has been one of the mainstays of the choir for the last three seasons and who was also one of the members of the original Cathedral choir, made a distinctive success in her solos last evening. The oldest and probably the best known male member of the choir is Mr. Malcolm Hallberg, who possesses a lyric tenor of rare quality. Mr. Stanley Deacon, baritone, who attained popularity here, showed a decided operatic style iff the "Toreador Song" from Carmen. The basso of the choir, Mr. Eugene Kammerer, has a voice of deep, rich quality. He has studied in Chicago and New York. Miss Esther Bailey showed her dramatic soprano voice to good advantage In Campbell Tipton's "Spirit Flower" and her beautiful , pianissimo on the end of "Somewhere; a, Voice s Calling" moved the audience td oud applause. "" "" " Miss Esther Wright, contralto, also one of the original choir, displayed her versatality in her singing of the entirely different styles of songs. Mr. Glen Chamberlain, while not possessing a tenor voice of much power, yet it possesses a quality which marks it. decidedly, out. .of, the I ordinary. . - I 'BriUsn'indja.aat.78i.boo acres in
ALCOHOL LEADS
MEN TO MURDER SAYS DR. GEISEL Chautauqua Crowd Held Spellbound by Narrative of Fatal Effects of Liquor on Patients. .. .. CONDEMNS ITS USE Shows How Poison , Causes Many Deaths Among Consumptives and Induces Cancers in the Stomach. !T am a murderess. I murdered that man, unintentionally perhaps, but killed him nevertheless. I had tapped a dormant appetite for alcohol by prescribing it as a cure for his Illness. I lost to the state, a probable governor. He threw his newly-born child from the third story window of his house to the pavement below and later died a drunkard." Dr. Geisel almost- shrieked her words at her Chautauqua audience this morning when she reached the climax of the dramatic tale ofUhe downfall of a brilliant and able lawyer and Sunday-school superintendent ' whom she visited, serving In her capacity as physician some years ago. , The neonle beneath the big canopy sat, unmindful of the -downpouring rain, much of which dripped through the creases onto the seats, platform and many of those below. Scores of umbrellas were raised inside the tent Patient Uses Alcohol. The speaker, whose text was "Alcohol and It's Effect" was discussing the time, prior to the condemnation by the medical profession of the use of alcohoJ as a tonic and medicine. She ha1 been called upon to treat a man, never known to use aiconoi who was spoken of as a candidate for governor of his state. The bottle con taining the medicine and alcohol was on a table near the bed on which he lay ill. He reached for it one night and this the speaker said was the beginning of a drunkard s career which ended in a tragic death. Condemns Use. Dr. Gelsel condemned the use of alcohol In any form for any purpose and she made a plea for national prohibition. "Spiked" punch at parties and social functions could tap a dor mant appetite for alcofeol. She listed Peruna, Hostetter's Bitters, cider, whiskey, beer and wine as liquid containing alcohol, to be avoided- She asserted alcohol to be a habit-forming drug having an ill-effect upon mind, body and soul. "I firmly believe," declared Dr. Geisel, "that God will call to account the United States government and its citizens for the murders committed by drunkards and not blame the drunk ards themselves. "There is positively no cure for cancer of the stomach known to the medical profession and 92 cases out of every 100 cases of cancer of the stomach are due to the use of alcohol. "One out of every ten persons who dies, succumbs to tuberculosis.' One out of every two drunkards dies of tuberculosis and statistics show that all of these drunkards who die of tuberculosis get the disease after they begin drinking liquor. "Forty out of every one hundred deaths by apoplexy are due directly to drinking of alcohol. Alcohol in any form has a pernicious effect upon the blood, blood cells, brains and serves as a breaker of nerves." COMPARES LIFE TO BALL GAME IN BIG LEAGUE "Play ball. Play ball. Get into the game of life; practice, obey the rules, assist the other man, he's your teammate: Remember if you have an error marked up against you, another opportunity to make good will come along in a few minutes." Portraying a national league base ball game in Chicago to show its similarity to the word picture of life, Henry Clark, lecturer and platform manager, held the attention of an interested audience of two thousand persons last night at the Chautauqua when he delivered a speech on the subject, "Play-Ball." He particularly told the need of each player in the game of-life to practice continuously in order to be prepared to meet the opportunities which will presented and to realize and appreciate interdependence and mutual relationship of one player upon another. "Stay in the game, play ball faithfully and don't stop until you die," said Mr, Clark. "We are all good for something, all meant for something. It may be in the field of agriculture, commerce, art, education, mechanics, church or one of many others. You must find your position in the game, and above all, know your limitations. All' that you know will not make up for. what .you don't know if you- don't know. Don't try to nil a position for which you are not fitted." .- - - BITE - : . VISITS CHAUTAUQUA. Jeanette Kling of Cincinnati, spent Thursday , at Chautauqua as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. F. P. Riggs. Miss Kling will appear on the Chautauqua platform at Cambridge City tonight. An-effort - will be - made-- to have- her give a recital in Richmond some time during the coming winter.

COUNTY IMS THREE EXPERTS TO W SPAN Commissioners Want to Know Exact Condition of Structure Before Taking Steps in Case. i
BRIDGE DANGEROUS ' In order to obtain an entirely unbiased report on the condition of Main street bridge, the county commissioners have decided toengage three expert .engineers to make additional Inspection of the bridge and report to the board as. soon as possible. Efforts will be made to have the report submitted at the meeting of the ; county council on September 7, bo that the council members can have the advantage of the opinions of experts before any definite action is taken.' Prof. H. K. Hatt, head of the civil engineering department of Purdue university, Bridge Engineer Vawter, an expert in bridge construction, and County Engineer John ' Mueller will compose the Inspection board. This virtually was decided by the county commissioners in an informal session Thursday afternoon, following a general report of Prof. Hatt, who inspected, the bridge Thursday morn ing. Delnite action will be taken on submitting propositions to these men at the meeting Saturday morning. Bridge Is Dangerous. Prof. Hatt was called into confer ence by the county commissioners Thursday afternoon. The conference was attended by members of the city board of works. Commissioners Anderson and Cheeseman, Lee B. Nusbaum,' president of he county council, tiayion num. memoer ox me county council, County Attorney Hoelscher, County Auditor Bowman and County Bridge Engineer Mueller. . "What 1 say can only be in general terms," said Prof. Hatt, "but this I can say for sure, your bridge is in a dangerous condition. The man who closed that bridge for traffic- knew what he was doing and he did not do it any too soon." "As to the proper method of dealing with the question, that can only be determined by a more minute examination," he said. "To determine in just how bad a condition the bridge is, it would be necessary to dismantle It," he continued. "Every piece should be taken out, sand blasted and tested. This would be an expensive process, no doubt, but no engineer would dare pass an opinion on the safety of the bridge unless this were done." Exhibits Steel Flakes. Prof. Hatt took from his pocket large pieces of rusted steel which.be had taken from the girders during his inspection. He explained - the difficulty in giving an off-hand calculation of how much work it would require to examine the bridge. "The bridge you have here is not adequate for the traffic," he continued. "In going over the speciacations I find that even if the bridge were in as good a condition as it was when it was built, it would not be able to stand the overloading it is no subject to. This amount to 40 per centi' The expert refused to make a statement to the board members on an estimate of the probable cost of re pair instead of rebuilding the bridge. MASONS ELECT SAME OFFICERS D. W. Caine, of Seymour, Ind., was re-elected grand master of the Grand Lodge. Knights. Templars, colored, at the session Thursday afternoon. Mar cub , Herring, of Crawf ordsville, was elected grand deputy grand master. Two degree teams competed in the exhibition drill at the Coliseum last evening. It, was expected that a larger number of teams would com pete for the prize of $125 which was offered, but, owing to the fact that the other teams in the state were un able to get here, the prize was re called. A ball game in the afternoon be tween the Union Giants and the Greenwood team, was won by the Giants by the score of 8 to 7. The sessions of the grand lodge convention closed Thursday afternoon, with the election of officers. The other officers elected were as follows: Harry Edmunds, Mitchell, senior grand warden; Silas Miles, Ft. Wayne, junior grand warden; James Williams, "Washington, grand lecturer; Fred Blake, Terre Haute, grand Secretary. All the other officers were advanced one rank in office. MURRAY UNDERGOES THROAT OPERATION O. G. Murray, local theatre manager, has gone to Pittsburg to have an examination made of his throat, which will have to be operated" upon, it is thought. Mr. Murray was treating his throat Thursday with, a pliable instrument, when one of the prongs of the swab came off and , lodged there. Mr. Murray went to Indianapolis to consult a specialist, but as business called him to the Pennsylvania city be wired a physician to meet him on his arrival. , , HDC3 LOCK'S The Original HALTED r.llLU yMf aey JSM-friJ-you mmy pmt m Submtlfutm
TEFOIIARY BRIDGE
FAVORED DY COUNTY . Following the conference held with Prat. W. K. Hatt, expert bridge engineer of Purdue university. County Commissioners Anderson and Cheeseman with other county officials expressed themselves In favor, of taking atepa immediately to relieve the congested traffic now passing over the Doran bridge. r . .. v '. t According -to their statements yesterday, they will insist that the county council make .an appropriation: for , a temporary-bridge mt. the meeting Saturday. The cost of the bridge, as estimated by County Engineer Mueller will be about $4,000, provided the traction company is, not allowed on the bridge. , " According to the engineers who have inspected the bridge. It will be impossible to determine just how extensive the repairs should be unless the bridge is dismantled. This would require over a year, and the county commissioners believe it unwise to overload .Doran bridge for that length of time. HAAS TO JOIN CLUB Although he had been Invited to attend the organization meeting of the Association of Chamber of Commerce Secretaries of the cities of Indiana, E. M. Haas, secretary of the local club, was not able to attend the meeting yesterday. He expects to join the association later. The meeting was held at Indianapolis.
