BOYS UNABLE TO MET ; FOOTBALL REQUIREMENTS

Supfc Giles Says Board of Control .Demands High Scholarship , and Health . Certificate. " School Official Likes Game But Lack -of , Training Would Imperil- Players' Health. There Is not ' one chance is i thousand that football . will be played by the local high ' school this fall,, so any hopes- of students that the same will be revived should be quietly abandoned and .their thoughts diverted to other channels. Superintendent Giles stated this morning that be considered football too severe a- game to be played by high school students without better training than they can get in the time they,. have to spare from their duties. Mr. Giles said that he liked the game, but that he did not think the students could meet the requirements Insisted upon by the board of control of high school athletics in the state, and therefore he did no believe the game would be taken up again by the local schools. Requirements High. The : state board requires that all students who play football must come up to the. scholarship marks; that be must have the written consent of his parents and present a physician's certificate, showing that he is strong enough to play the game without endangering his health. Mr. Giles served for nine years on the board of control and does not believe that the students here can meet these rules; so on that account it' is safe to-make the statement that there wlll .be no. football. If the games are played under these rules, however, Mr. Giles is In favor of it. The desire of the superintendent is to see a large number of basketball teams on the floor this year and he would like to see every school In the city represented. This game be does not believe is quite as strenuous as football, but he does believe that it over trains the smaller boys. His hope that all the schools have teams this year he did not believe would be realized because there are not enough large boys in each school to be able to compete in a school league. CORONER HUNTS Continued from Page One off. Also I found out that Tull, with five others, had planned to go to the Greenville fair on Monday. Two of them backed out, and Tull and three others jumped a passenger train, riding blind baggage, and went. One of the three returned Tuesday night and the man I saw with Tull was evidently the third man in the party." The mysterious phase of the case is that the man with Tull at the time of the accident must have seen his companion run over, and the question raised is why did he run away and leave the injured man lying alongside of the tracks. While there is no doubt that the injuries which resulted in Tull's death were accidental, his friends cannot understand the actions of his companion. Tull Married Twice. The fact has been brought out that Tull had been married and divorced twice and that he had a son about ten years . old, although he was only 28 when be met his death. He has. always been infatuated with some woman, it was said by Mr. Kelley, and the theory was advanced that the accident may not have been purely accidental after all, and that Tull may have been burled from the train by some man who was jealous of his attentions to some woman. Coroner Morrow said that he had heard about the man who had been seen with Tull and intended to make an effort to locate him. The police are taking no steps in the matter, but railroad detectives are active, and It is thought that the man who was with Tull will be located today and be made to tell all he knows of the case. Gold weighs almost twenty times as much as. its own bulk of water.

DEVICE GUARDS LIVES OF MEN AT CREMATORY

City Health Officer Smelser Provides Belt and Chain to Prevent Men From Falling in Fire. t . Complaint was made today of the city dumping grounds on South Fifth street at the board of works meeting, and City Health Officer Smelser testified that this dump was a nuisance and the people living in the neighborhood were justified in complaining about it. He said there was a noticeable stench all the time, and the refuse was inhabited by hundred of rata. The board will make an effort to improve these conditions. Heath Officer Smelser also notified the board that all men working at the crematory now had to use a "life preserver" of his Invention. A driver for a commission company nearly fell into one of the furnaces recently, being caught by his trousers legs as he plunged headlong into the pit. , "Every city employe who now dumps refuse into the crematory must place a leather band about his stomach, this band being attached to the roof by a log chain," Dr. Smelser said. "If any one trips now while working about the furnaces the belt and chain will prevent them falling into the fire. I told the drivers of the wagons that if they did not want to work with this belt and chain attached to them to let me know and I would get men to take their' places, who would be willing to do so." Board members today began an Inspection of public improvements made during the summer. No improvement will be accepted until it has been thoroughly inspected. MASS MEETING WILL DISCUSS NEED OF BRIDGE With many prominent men of Richmond and the county to speak, the first public mass meeting to discuss the bridge problem, Friday evening, on the west approach to the structure, promises to establish the sentiment of the community regarding either a new span or repairs to the old one. Among the speakers are Charles Jordan, Timothy Nicholson, Caleb Harvey, commissioner at the time the bridge was built, President Kelly of Earlham college, Dr. D. W. Dennis. Richard Sedgwick, Dr. Huff of Fountain City, and Miss Bessie Buhl of Centerville, who will give a reading. The meeting has been called by Dr. I. S. Harold, president of the Wayne County Old Trails' Road association. The band will play at the corner of Tenth and Main and then march to the bridge. RETURNS MURDER VERDICT. REDKEY, Ind., Aug. 26.

FOX DISCOUNTS Continued From Page One as they come up and have disposed of them as I saw fit Every effort has been made to find homes for" children by Mrs. Candler and there is no complaint to offer on this ground." Council Favors Change. It is understood that members of the county council, who have made a study of the report of the investigating committee, which has been made public through the newspapers, are considering cutting the salary of the probation officer. It- remains, for the judge of the court, however, to make the appointment, which is independent of any action of the commissioners -or council members. In the interview this morning, Judge Fox intimated that he was not anticipating making any changes for next year, despite the adverse report of the Investigating committee. The suggestion that the probation work be turned over to the Central Charity bureau, which is now a county organization and has widened its scope of operation, was looked on with favor by county officials today. Several of the county councilmen expressed their approval of the plan, although the council has only advisory power. What action the commissioners will make before the meeting on September 7 is not known. If. the probation work were turned over to Mr. Melpolder in connection with the other work of the bureau, it would Bave the .county approximately $750 a year, which was the amount appropriated for the work during the past year.

of disease. It was deemed the beat policy-. or so it was claimed, to select a man for the position who waa a stranger in the city, because he would not have any acquaintances here who might influence his Judgment. Dr. Clem, fresh from the Indiana Veterinary coUege at . Indianapolis, where he had graduated in April, was named for the position and appointed in May, - less 'than . two months after he had taken his degree. There 'were many veterinarians in Richmond who had had years of practical experience and who were well qualified to : fill the position, yet they were : overlooked for the reason that it was deemed to be to the advantage -of-, the public to appoint, a man who bad no practice here, for the reason that if he did practice might be prejudiced in their favor In conducting his Investigation. There was nothing said in the ordinance passed by the city council providing that the . man appointed could not practice anywhere he pleased,1 but it was understood, and. there was much talk about it at the time, that he was not to accept cases from farmers who conducted dairies, and therein reposed the joker. t Builds Up Practice. - While Clem was not supposed to do any professional business with . men whom he would .come in contact with, as the representative of the city, he has done so. .. - ; There are men right in the heart of Richmond who are violating the pure food laws by exposing to the dirt and germs- of the city streets fruits and vegetables without and pretense at protecting them from filth of different natures. It is not . an uncommon sight to see long rows of watermelons stretched along the sidewalks, or basets of peaches, tomatoes and other vegetables on the ground, within easy reach of any stray dog. Violates State Law. Watermelons are often arrayed along the curbstones where the most rotten accumulation of dirt is to be found, and yet with this violation of a state law in plain sight, $1,000 a year is being paid to a man to prevent the public health from being endangered. . Rule 9 of the pure food law of the state of Indiana provides: Sidewalk displays of foodstuffs. Fruits, vegetables and other food products shall not be displayed or stored on the sidewalk, or outside the place of business unless they are securely covered by cases of glass, wood or metal, or enclosed in tight boxes, bag or barrels, and all Buch cases or containers shall be raised at least two feet above the sidewalk. The practice heretofore followed, of covering small fruits with screens or nettings is not sufficient compliance with this rule. This rule shall not, however, apply to fruits and vegetables which have to be skinned or peeled before use, and which are
