PICNIC IS POSTPONE The Old Settlers' picnic, which was to be held at Centerville today, was called off on account of the weather. It will be held at a later date, which will be announced next week. DR. GEISEL FAVORS TWILIGHT SLEEP Twilight sleep was recommended by Dr. Carolyn Geisel this morning in a talk to a Chautauqua audience of two hundred or more people as never having a failure but instead having superlative success. Because of the rain and the condition on the Chautauqua grounds, Dr. Geisel, instead of delivering a lecture, held an informal discussion with the members of the audience, answering questions asked her. She said the twilight sleep had been in vogue in Germany for fifty years and in Chicago for fourteen years. It is past the experimental stage, she claimed. There is no ill-effect suffered by the child In twilight sleep, Dr. Geisel claimed, but emphasized the importance of the patient being in the care of an experienced practitioner. In answering questions regarding alcohol, the speaker said that one glass of beer made a man seven per cent, less efficient at his work than before he had drank it, and three Angers of whiskey causes a 23 per cent, decrease in efficiency. She answered questions relating to Bright's disease, cancer, hay fever and other diseases and illnesses. CONTRACT FOR MIXER AWARDED TO ADAMS J. T. Adams of Indianapolis, was awarded the contract for a concrete mixer for Wayne county. The contract was let this morning by the county commissioners. .The bid was for 8325. This was the only bid submitted. FIND GOOD GRAVEL ON JOHNSON FARM While digging on the farm of Bart Johnson in New Garden township, i gravel vein was found, which, according to Road Supervisor Jones, is considered the best gravel that has ever been found in this county. The gravel is being used by the road superintendent in improving the roads of the county. He holds a contract with Mr. Johnson, the owner, for 1,200 yards at twenty-three cents a yard. The gravel is being secured by dipping.

CROAC&R DECLINES TO nOil FOR' SENATOR

VALPARAISO, Aug. 21. Edward D. Crumpacker, who served sixteen years in the lower house of congress from the Tenth Indiana- district, and who was expected to enter the race for the United States Benatorshlp at the March primary, today withdrew. DEMOCRATS GATHER INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 21. At a meeting of the Democratic state committee, Governor " Ralston, Senator Kern and National Committeeman Taggart made speeches All were received with applause. ; President Wilson was the only candidate discussed for the 1916 campaign , And the war situation was put under the ban -.; of silence. No definite stand was announced on the primary law,' the members of the committee apparently being willing to permit the progressives to test the validity of the law through the courts. . ; RUSS SHIPS SUNK BERLIN, Aug. 21. One Russian torpedo boat destroyed, two others seriously damaged, three German torpedo boats damaged ' by mines,1 one sunk, one beached and one arrived in port, after a big naval battle in the Baltic sea. Loss of life small, it is officially announced. , 1 HERE'S NEW METHOD TO REDUCE WEIGHT At last, at last, we have the one, absolutely sure flesh-reducer. Attention ye. who would have lightness of step, grace of movement, the figure of Venus and the comfort of the thin. It doesn't cost a cent. Dr. Carolyn Geisel at Chautauqua this morning recommended the following treatment to reduce flesh. Concentrate the mind, hunt a railroad track and balancing yourself on one rail, walk and walk and walk. Think and think and think. Besides this physical exercise, if the stout person attempting it becomes discouraged or wearies of tight-rope walking, a system of dieting will produce the desired results. Eat every mouthful and al you want of any one thing. For instance at breakfast, eat nothing but bread with no butter, for dinner eat nothing but bread and for supper eat nothing but bread. Of course you can change off to some other one thing to relieve the monotony but bread is good to start out on. A long, hot bath followed by a short cold one will also reduce flesh. Dr. Geisel said she did not know what to recommend as a flesh-builder. MISS JULIA LATHROP WILL LECTURE HERE A special feature of the charities conference which is to be held in this city Oct. 30 to Nov. 2, will be the reception to be tendered Miss Julia C. Lathrop, of Washington, D. C. Miss Lathrop is directress of the Federal Children's bureau, with headquarters at Washington. She is to be entertained by the Domestic Science association. Lectures will probably be given by this well known social worker. Conferences will be held with special reference to the work being done by the Day Nursery, which is now conducted under the auspices of the Domestic Science association. FAVORS INSPECTION TO CHECK DISEASE More . important than medical inspection in schools, while that is highly necessary, is the inspection . of men to eliminate diseases like Bright's disease, apoplexy and heart disease, in the opinion of Dr. Carolyn Geisel who expressed herself on this point at Chautauqua this morninp. She advocated the inauguration of means which would provide for the periodical inspection of the male sex to bring about longevity. Dr. Geisel also strongly favored general medical inspection of the schools in the United States, to eradicate unsanitary conditions in school houses and eliminate disease anions the children. . Contagious diseases, could be stopped in their incipiency if there was medical Inspection, she said. RIGGS BECOMES PLATFORM LEADER With the departure of Platform Manager Henry Clark tonight. F. F. Riggs will assume the managership until the arrival of W. E. Hopkins, who will arrive next Wednesday and serve the remaining four date of Chautauqua as platform manager. Mr. Hopkins is interested in Boy Scout work and children's work in general. He expects to sleep in a tent on the grounds to enable a closer contact with the boys and grils. WILLARD BATTERY IS WELL BUILT Mr. Wiley of the Richmond Electric company, local representatives of the Willard Storage Battery company, explains why one always finds much stronger terminals and connections on a Willard battery. "There is no use in putting all possible care in manufacture into a high grade battery," says Mr. Wiley, "if you make the terminals so small that you can't get full use of your battery's capacity. It would be like building a big reservoir and connecting it with pipes to small to deliver the water." The. United States cotton crop this year, will be 3,600,000 bales lees than last year.

RACER IS GAPTUaED

George Raber, who was serving a thirty-etx day-sentence in the Wayne county Jail and who escaped while working on the' roads, has been captured and returned to the Institution to serve the balance of his sentence. Raber was not a burglar as reported, but was "doing time" for being drunk and disorderly. - He was put to -work on the roads after he had served four days of his sentence and managed to elude the roadmen oh guard and make his escape. He was caught yesterday in Connersville and returned to the jail last night. COUNTY COUNCIL VOTES ON FUNDS Several appropriations for the ensuing year were made by the county council this afternoon. The recommendations to increase the allowance for the. transportation of - the - sheriff and his deputies between Richmond and various state institutions by 2 500 was questioned, but Auditor Bowman said this would be satisfactorily explained in a special report to be made public soon. : The county attorney's salary, was increased from $400 to $500 a year, and a special appropriation of $900 for orphans now maintained in various institutions was also provided for. The sum of $500 was set aside .for repairs to the court house and a temporary loan of $2,500 to the poor funds of the various townships was authorized. . t " REPORT IS PUBLISHED The county superintendent of public instruction today made public his report for the school year which closed last June. . This report shows that during the past school year the total enrollment in the county was 8,255, of which number 4,292 attended schools in Richmond, 938 schools in other towns and 3,025 in the township schools. The total value of school property is now, $359,978.24. Last school year a total of $185,958 was expended as salaries for teachers. Other expenses amounted to $90,943. MURRAY IN HOSPITAL Word was received today that Omar G. Murray of this city, was now at the Presbyterian . hospital at Pittsburg awaiting to see whether it would be necessary to undergo an operation to recover a piece of steel about . four inches in length, a part of an instrument he was using for cleansing a nostril. The instrument broke and a section of it worked down his throat and into his stomach. If the steel is not carried out of the body by Tuesday, an effort will be made to extract it by running an instrument down his throat into the stomach. ALLEGED BICYCLE THIEVES ARRESTED Bertie Jackson and Walter Ball, both of Indianapolis, were arrested here on a charge of attempting to sell bicycles belonging to the Em-Roe Sporting Goods company of Indianapolis. It is alleged the boys secured the bicycles by paying $5 down for them and agreeing to pay the balance on the installment plan. Local police are awaiting instructions from the Indianapolis authorities as to the disposition they shall make of the lads. GROCERY CASHES WORTHLESS CHECK Mrs. Thomas Crabb, who operates a grocery on North Tenth street, cashed a check for $7.50 tendered by a man giving his name as S. E. Roberts in payment for a small order of groceries, costing a very small sum, ordered them sent to a home on North I street where he is not known, and then departed with the change given him by Mrs. Crabb. Almost as soon as he left the store she telephoned to police headquarters and said she believed the check was a forgery. Her surmise was correct. The man had previously attempted to cash the same check at the Husson grocery on Main street, but without success. City Statistics Marriage Licenses.

LEAP OFF TRAM

FREES PRISONER; POSSE FOLLOWS ., William Allison, wanted In Indianapolis on a charge not known to the Richmond police, and arrested at Columbus, O., after he is alleged to have jumped his' bond,' made a sensational escape from the officer who was taking him back: to Indianapolis by leaping out of a window of a Pennsylvania passenger coach near Dublin, Ind., today, while the train was running' at a high rate of speed. Allison was in the custody of W. C. Farwell. an operative of private detective agency at Columbus. He was not handcuffed. When the train was about three blocks from the Dublin station Allison pushed up the window and - dived head foremost out of : it. Before the train came to a stop at the Dublin station people on the train saw Allison running down the Main street of the town. Detective Farwell. after offering a reward - for the man's capture organized a posse, consisting of nearly all the able-bodied men of the village, but their efforts to apprehend the fugitive were futile. He was last seen in the village washing his face and hands" at the town pump and brushing the dirt and cinders off his badly torn clothing. He was able to do this and get out of the village before Farwell could organize his posse. This afternoon a farmer living south of Dublin informed Farwell when he arrived in an automobile driven by Stanton Woodward of Dublin that' a man - answering Allison's description had called, at the farm late in the forenoon and had had dinner with him. He; represented himself to be a traveling salesman. Leaving the . farm house the stranger got into a rig driven by a man living, in the locality and was last seen going south in the direction of Pleasant Hill, about four miles south, of Dublin. When Farwell received this information he abandoned the chase and boarded a train for Dayton. WANT CHILDREN Continued From Page One lows for the . first half year of the following years: 1905, $190.70; 1913, $474.60; 1914, $1,253.70; 19J5 $1,896.20. The report states that expenses for children Inmates were as follows for the first half of the following years: 1913, $144.20; 1914, $240.50; 1915, $687. "This, is an increase of 377 per cent, in the expense of maintenance of children at the Home for Friendless for the past two years." Another Increase. Expenditures of the county at White's institute for the maintenance of children there increased from $742.25 for the first half of 1905 to $2366.85 for the first half of 1916. This, it-is noted, is an increase of 220 per cent in ten years and of 48 per cent in the last two years. The report continues: "It should be noted that, however, during the past ten years the per diem allowed by law for boarding dependent children has been increased from twenty-five to thirty-five cents, while this year allowance has been still further increased to forty cents. The increase of expenditures for the maintenance of dependent children in institutions therefore is due to a certain extent to the increases in these allowances." Conclusions. A study of the figures concludes: "There seems to be a relationship between the increase in the number of children in the institutions as well as in the increase in the length of time these children are kept in institutions. It is to be deplored if the increase in the per diem allowed by law were not intended solely for the improvement in the care of dependent and neglected children in Institutions, should create a . tendency to keep such children as long as possible In Institutions." The report continues that a study of the situation reveals that a convenient course for those handling dependent children is to send them to institutions. Another peculiar instance is that only 25 per cent of the names of children maintained at the Home for the Friendless appear on the records. It is claimed that 75 per cent of these children were maintained there without court action or without being brought to the attention of the board of children's guardians. They were slated as prisoners and cared for out of the sheriff's appropriation. The township trustees' office and the charity bureau were not consulted when the children were placed there at public expense. "Women inmates employed at the institution or outside of the institution had their children supported by the county, including even the furnishing of their clothing as an additional' expense." - Maintenance : of children's institutions, the report states, has cost the taxpayers an average of $500; without consideration : of the superior effect which home environment would have over the unnatural life in an institution. , The finding adds: "The principal reason : for the board ' of children's guardians inactivity is that it has depended almost exclusively upon the secretary for its work of investigation, home finding, etc." Because of numerous other duties as probation off icer. - member of the board of lady managers of the Friendless home, and superintendent of the Gospel mission, the secretary of the board of guardians, it is found, does not have time to choose operations involving expenditures of . considerable time in handling the cases of homefinding in preference to the more convenient method of placing the children in White's institute. - - 45 LOSE Continued From Page One that its reported destruction would prove erroneous. United 'States Consul Fvost at Queenstown, today received " a cable-

cram from Secretary of State t-hii

iinstruetlnc him to obtain affidavits from tne American survivors or tne Arablo with a view of dlscoverng whether any warning was given by the submarine that torpedoed the liner. -The bodies of a woman and man. the former believed to be that of Mr. Frank Tattersall, the latter that of a steward, were found in two of the Arabic's lifeboats not far from the spot where was torpedoed, it was sta ted in a dispatch from Queenstown today. Husband -la Saved. Mrs.- Tattersall: an Rnrllnh wnman oeen missing since tne Arabic was sunk i oy i uerman suomanne Tbursmornina. but her husband and twn day cnnaren were saved. ; The spot where the lifeboats 'were picked up was only - five miles from the grave of the Arabic. Five more lifeboats, all empty, were found nearby. ; . The missing Americans are Mrs. Josephine Bruguiere and Dr. Edmund Woods. . ,- -' - Ambassador W. H. Page is conducting a rigid Investigation of the destruction of the Arabic through the consular agencies at Queenstown and LdverpooL It has not yet definitely been established whether the Arabic was convoyed by a British warship, but the belief Is strong that she was not. owing to the scarcity of men of war for such purposes. ; . Dunsley Is Given Up. The British steamship Dunsley. to whose aid the Arabic was going, when attacked, has been given up for lost in the absence of any official information relative to her fate Captain Finch of the Arabic, has given his version of the destruction of his ship to representatives of both the admirality and the White Star line Up to date there has been no announcement that the board of trade will hold an open investigation of the destruction of the White Star liner as was done in the case of the Lusitania. According to one of these statements to Consul Thompson, Captain Finch tried to save his ship when he saw the torpedo speeding toward it. From the bridge Captain Finch ordered the helm jammed down when he saw the missile racing toward his vessel and the boat had already begun to veer around when the torpedo struck. One of the lifeboats was caught by the geyser of water that spurted skyward when the torpedo exploded and was carried forty feet into the air. The wireless apparatus was so badly damaged by the shock of the torpedo's impact that the wireless operator had time to send out but one "S OS" call. HANDLY Continued From Page One. looked as though Evans was going to be the successful candidate as he lacked only one vote of the necessary majority, six. On the fifth ballot one of his votes switched to Handley. giving Handley five. Ford two and Evans four. On the sixth ballot one of Ford's two supporters flopped to Evans, and the vote was registered Handley five, Evans five and Ford one. On the seventh ballot a desertion in the ranks of Evans put Handley over a winner, the final vote being Handley six, Evan 'our. and Ford one. Prior to the balloting a resolution by Councilman Waltermann governing the election was adopted unanimously. It eliminated nominating speeches and provided that all nominations should be submitted in writing and that a secret ballot be taken. Because of these election rules, unique ones In council's history, it was impossible to ascertain who nominated the various candidates or who supported them. Morgan Drops Out. Although two councilmen placed S. K. Morgan in nomination, he failed to secure a vote on the first ballot, and was eliminated from the contest. Harrison polled one vote on the first ballot, but lost it on the second, when his supporter went over to Handley, thus putting Harrison out of the running, and leaving only Handley, Evans and Ford in the contest. The vote by ballots follows: Handley 3 4 4 4 5 5 6 Morgan . 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Ford 3 3 2 2 2 1 1 Harrison 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 Evans 4 4 5 5 4 5 4 Ford Man Deserts. One of the three councilmen who supported Ford the first two ballots had a hard time deciding whom to support after deserting that candidate. On the third ballot he went over to Evans and supported him again on the fourth. Then he flopped to Handley and remained with him until the end. It is understood that George Carter placed. Handley in nomination, that Al Weishaupt nominated Evans and that W. P. O'Neal placed for in nomination. The election last night is another indication that politics is becoming almost a negligible factor in the selection of municipal officers in Richmond. Council has a Progressive majority, theoretically, but that proved no hindrance to the selection of a Democrat to succeed Prof. Russell. Handley received the support of at least one of the two Republican members. $6'500 NEEDED Continued From Page One question promptly. He suggested that if it were possible legally, and if the county could be . safeguarded in the matter, It would, be advisable for the county to enter into, a contract with the traction company, allowing them to build the bridge with -the promise of reimbursing the company after the bridge is built. i , Explains Problems. This would alleviate the delay caused in letting county contracts. It would not be possible under law to let a contract for the building of the bridge by the county in less than thirty days and then it would require at' least sixty days for the contractor to complete the bridge. The matter will be investigated by County Attorney Gus Hoeslcher and if it is legal, the county commissioners will probably adopt ? it. for it would afford the county and city almost immediate relief from the present congestion of traffic over the Doran bridge. Every day the matter Is delayed means a loss to the business Interests of Richmond, as well as to the convenience of the entire

county. The traction company wovH be able to start work. Immediately.. . If the county commissioners .and county council decide this afternoon to order the construction of a new bridge. County-Engineer Mueller will make application this evening before the state utilities board for clearance ot the C. O. switch. The opinion of the utilities board would have to be secured before any action could be taken. - - - ' . "If the council appropriates money for the temporary bridge and orders the necessary steps to be taken Immediately, said County Engineer Mueller. "I can have the plana ready by Wednesday and publication can be made so that the contract can be let within thirty days. At the beat, however, a pew bridge cannot be built in less than three months from now." . "The county, city and traction company will have to have a temporary bridge, even If it is found that the Main street bridge can be repaired and it is not necessary to costruct a new one, said Superintendent G. K. Jefferies this morning before the county commissioners. "It would at least be a - year before the work is completed and the loss In business for all concerned would be greater m that time than the cost of the bridge."
