CALL MEETING TO CRYSTALIZE DRY SENTIMENT Local Leaders Fall f in line With State Movement to Drive Liquor Traffic From Indiana.

A county convention to crystalize sentiment of temperance forces in conjunction with the state-wide activity to secure the adoption of law prohibiting toe sale of liquor in Indiana and in the nation, will he held in Richmond probably before the end of January, S. Edgar Nicholson; editor of The American Friend, said today. The convention here will be the result of the program decided upon and outlined at the omni-partisan -temperance convention which closed, a two days' session last night in Tomlinson Hall in Indianapolis. Mr. Nicholson was chairman of the committee which drafted resolutions declaring against the sale of liquor and adopted by the convention. The date of the convention has not been selected as no conferences relative to the subject has been held by advocates of prohibition in Richmond. It is probable, Mr. Nicholson said, that the meeting will be held about the time that the board of trustees of the Indiana Anti-Saloon league meet in annual session in Indianapolis in January. The Richmond members of the board of trustees are Timothy Nicholson, president, Rev. C. Huber, Rev. L. E. Murray and S. E. Nicholson. Effect Still In Doubt. "The eftect of th meeting remains to be seen," said Mr. Nicholson, "but th manifestation of such hearty co operation warrants the belief that In diana will make a good showing. "Organization for the county convention will be perfected. We hope the Richmond sentiment will be as great as that expressed in other county conventions this winter." Thn fleht to be made against the liquor traffic by the Indiana prohibi tionists will be non-partisan according to the resolutions adopted at the closing session. The recommendation of Frank J. Hanly, former governor of Indiana, that the Prohibition forces make the liquor question a political Issue was flatly overruled by the convention. In substance, the resolutions declare the liquor traffic as outlived Us generation and no law other than greed calls on all citizens "regardless of party" are contained in the resolution for' the purpose of doing away with the traffic. PLEASED AT RESULT. Secretary Learner of the Y. M. C. A., was glad to receive news pesterday to the effect that the Kokomo association in its campaign for finances, had secured the amount of $65,000, which it desired. Mr. Learner was assistant secretary of the Kokomo association before coming to Richmond. His uncle donated $1,000 to the Kokomo cause. COLONEL BAIN TO SPEAK AT BIG MEETING Efforts will be made to have an attendance of 1.000 persons at the initial Sunday afternoon theatre meeting which will be held next Sunday, opening at 2:30 o'clock. The musical program for the occa sion consists of instrumental select ions by the orchestra under the direction of Philip Gates, and vocal numbers by the male double quartet of the Y. M. C. A. The personnel of the quartet follows: T. Druley and C. F. Hutchins, first tenors; Edgar Mote and George Hodge, second tenors; John Graham and Hugh Foss, baritone, and R. Brown and Walter Luring, bassos. The speaker will be Colonel George Bain of Lexington, Ky.. who will speak on the subject. "If I Had My Life to Live Over." Literature to advertise the meeting will be distributed in fac tories, lodges and churches by one hundred men. TEMPORARY BRIDGE ACROSS MAIN STREET DONE BY NOV. 25 Work on the temporary bridge at Main street will be completed by Thanksgiving, although the bridge will not be ready for traffic then. Contractor Smith agreed to complete the structure on that day. He said today that he will carry out his promise. The approaches to the bridge, however, will not be ready for ten days after the completion of the structural work. John Duke, who was given the contract for the approaches, is allowed ten days after the completion of the bridge proper to get the approaches to the bridge in condition for traffic. The traction company's work is progressing rapidly and not more than a day will be required to lay the track across the bridge and leading to the bridge, as soon as the other work is completed. The work of driving piling will be completed by the end of the week, said Mr. Smith, and only two or three days will be required for putting the finishing touches on the floor surface. LEARNER WILL ATTEND. Ellis M. Learner, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., will attend the annual convention of the Indiana Y. M. C. A., which will be held in Huntington on Friday and Saturday. He will take part in the noon shop meetings on those days. If the wind is in the right direction a sort of cold smell gives sailors warning of the proximity of an iceberg.

CHARGES COMPANY VIOLATES ORDER OF PURE FOOD STATUE Warrants charging violation of the federal pure food and drug law have been served upon Mrs. G. D. Cole, 219 North Thirteenth street, owner of the Simpson Vegetable Compound company, this city, and Thomas C. Davis, 713 South Eleventh street, formerly a partner of Mrs. Cole in the business. After the warrants had been served, the results of indictments returned recently by the federal grand jury at Indianapolis, Mrs. Cole and Davis each gave bond in the sum of $200 for their appearance in federal court. "The offense my wife and Mr. Davis are charged with dates back two years." said G. D. Cole today. "It is alleged that at that time they technically violated one of the provisions of the federal pure food law in the literature describing the merits of the remedy. Since that time we have several times revised our literature and the wording of the labels on the bottles, and I do not believe the federal authorities have any complaint to make on the way the compound is described. "We have communicated with the agricultural department at Washington asking just how our literature should be worded, but have never been able to receive satisfactory instructions." Simpson's Vegetable Compound was a prescription prepared by the late Dr. A. B. Simpson, father of Mrs. Cole. Prior to his death and for some time after, Mr. Davis was associated in the manufacture of the remedy. JURY AWARDS $500 DAMAGES IN VERDIGT In spite of the fact that the traction company had agreed to compromise the case for $750 before the trial began, the Jury in the case of Cleo Holmes against the T. H. I. & E. traction company, reduced the $5,000 damages asked for to $500. The tras1 tion company will also have to pay the cost of the trial which will not be more than $25. Mrs. Holmes alleged that she was injured internally when she was thrown from a street car at First and Richmond avenue last April. "We are satisfied with the verdict," said Byrom Robbins, attorney for the traction company. It developed during the trial that Mrs. Holmes did not start to get off the car until it had started after making a stop at the corner of First and Richmond avenue. According to the testimony of John Fosler, who was on the car at the time, the woman jumped from the rear step after the car had started. The oldest man in Louisiana is dead in the person of John Shay,-113, who was born in County Kerry, Ireland, served in the civil war as a Union quartermaster and then settled down in the; sunny south.

HAUL 600 CHICKENS ON GREENSFORK BUS Between 600 and 600 chickens and turkeys formed a consignment today which was transferred at the auto hack station here from the New Paris bus owned by Jones and Freed to the Richmond-Hagerstown bus, owned by H. S. Downerd. The poultry which was crated and weighed approximately 1,000 pounds, was consigned to the Parkers Poultry Company, at Greensfork, from George Layman of New Paris. Layman is a buyer and the Greensfork firm cleans and dresses the chickens and turkeys, distributing them to retail and wholesale houses. Shipments will continue to be made this winter over the bus lines. INCREASES MEMBERS OF COLUMBIA CLUB Thirty-seven new members of the Columbia club, the Republican club of Indiana, have been obtained during the past few days, by L. A. Beard, of Indianapolis, who has been soliciting members in Wayne county. For the past few years, Wayne county Republicans have been poorly represented in the club at Indianapolis, but Mr. Beard intends to obtain at least twenty-five more members before he leaves the county. This will bring Wayne county to a par with the other counties in the state. Included in the number of new members to the club are several former Progressives, said Republican County Chairman Bowman, today. ODDITIES A New Jersey law professor recently propounded to his class the question "Who owns a baseball after it leaves the pitcher's hand on its way to the catcher?" The professor says the ball still belongs to the pitcher, but a New Yorker, who Is either extremely logical or somewhat facetious, has written a letter to the papers to prove that the club stockholders own the ball, first, last and all the time. The school commissioner of Caldwell, N. J., caused so much comment by leaving an open dmbrella on hie front lawn for many days that he finally had to explain that it was a protection from his Btrong-minded hen, who was setting out there, and not at all amenable to suggestions that sie move. The northernmost ostrich farm in the world is in a suburb of Stockholm. The birds were taken ther last year. They spent the winter mostly in the open, in perfect health, and toward the end of May the females laid their eggs just as if they had been in South Africa. It takes sii weeks to hatch an ostrich egg. -
