iDefies "Old POLL OF COUNCIL SHOWS JOHNSTON IS FAVORED AGAIN A poll of the members of council today Indicated that Dr. M. F. Johnston "would be re-elected as a member of the Richmond school board. Dr. Johnston's term expires August 1. He has been a member of the school board for several years. Council will receive nominations for the school board vacancy at its meeting next Monday evening and indications v.ere today that Dr. Johnston's name would .be the only one presented. Recently Wiliard Z. Carr, an official of the American Seeding Machine company, was sugsested as a possible candidate against Dr. Johnston but today Mr. Carr declared that he was not a candidate for position on the school board and that in the improbable event of his election to the board he would refuse to serve. Every councilman interviewed today eaid he had heard of no candidate being entered against Dr. Johnston. These councilmen also expressed satisfaction with the services rendered by Dr. Johnston as a member of the school board. At the present time Dr. Johnston is president of the board. Considerable opposition to Dr. Johnstons re-election to the school board has been manifested by a number of teachers in the public schools. These teachers complain that because of Dr. Johnston's opposition no action has yet been taken by the school board in providing pensions for teachers, under the provisions of the Indiana teachers' pension law. Dr. Johnston has declared that he does not believe the pension law is a fair one to the public. LIVES FOR 120 YEARS. PRINCETON. June 2.

He was informed that the big bulk of his consiuuents stood ror real preparedness and that they did not believe he had reflected their Views nn th needs nf the navy in the construction bill he naa neipea to frame. v Mr. Gray admitted he had helped defeat the proposals of the large navy men of the naval committee, " who sought the adoption of a construction program as recommended by the navy board, aimed to re-establish the United States as the second naval power. He said he did this because he wished to see more submarines provided for. "Why didn't you vote for the amendment increasing the number of submarines from 20 to 60 when it was presented to. the house last Wednesday?" Gray was asked. "I didn't vote for it because the bill already provided for the maximum amount of money that had been allowed the naval committee for ship construction," Gray replied. GRAND DUKE TO ACT TO THWART CLIQUES PETROGRAD, June 2. The pro-German element at the Russian court is suddenly becoming active again. It Is openly charged by the newspapers here that certain high aristocrats who are either of German descent or sympathize with Germany because they received their education in German universities, are once more using their influence to win over the Czar, for a separate peace. The "Novo Vremya" names five of the alleged conspirators and demands their imprisonment on charges of treason. Two of those noblemen have always been great favorites of the Czar anu mey stui possess much influence. It is said that Grand Duke Nicholas who is directing the war against the Turks in Asia.

The Purdue university agricultural extension department will conduct "farm home tours" in many counties of the state this summer, according to the plan of Prof. George I. Christie. The plan is to get a large number of farm women in automobiles and visit ten or twelve representatives farms in a county in a day, studying their methods of dairying, gardening and other farm work. WIRE CABLE KILLS PERSONS AT, FRONT, SAYS JOURNALIST LONDON, June 2. A Belgian journalist named Egbert Hans, until recently serving with the Belgian army, narrates the following story of the electric cable which the Germans have fixed along the Dutch frontier to prevent the Belgians from escaping into Holland. "During the first few days only dogs and cat3 were struck, and one could hear their howls and cries a minute before they died. The first human victim was a young Belgian who had heard King Albert's call and wanted to go through Holland to join the Belgian Army. The second victim we heard of was a poacher who brought letters into Holland. He knew every inch of the country as they all do, and thought he could defy the electric cables. "Others were killed, but the traffic continued, mostly after dark, and many a time shadows moved through the silent streets of Sluis at night; they were those who had succeeded and were now in safety. From them we learn how things were in Belgium. "One morning very early I found a young oman sitting on one of the Dutch 'steps' in Sluis. She looked worn out, but her face wore that happy expression which told me at once that she was one of those who had crossed. A few hours later I met her arm in arm with a young man whom I knew was an escaped Belgian soldier. I met them again and again, and the young woman told me the name of her town, how things were going here and how she got into Holland. "Clara Vermel was the young woman's name. She was an inhabitant of Costkerko. In the beginning of the war her husband had been called to the colors. She heard from him three times, then his letters ceased, and fo months she had lived alone, hoping that her husband was still alive. "One day Clara Vermel was brooding over her misfortune when the door opened and in walked 'Limping Victor,' a cripple who was employed by the Germans to do errands and who had often to go to Holland. "'Clara,' he said, I have seen RobertHe is at Sluis, juU over the border. But don't ask any more. I risk too much already.' "

ri ROAD PRESIDENT SWUNG HAMMER AS FIRST TASK CHICAGO, June 2.The elevation of Richard Henry Aishton to the presdency of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad marVs the climax of another successful career, attained through starting at the bottom and working up. Railroad men generally recognize Aishton as one of the most practical men in the business. He. has worked at every job connected with railroading from swinging a sledge on the ties to directing traffic. All this business career has been devoted to railroads, and his almost two-score years of service have all been devoted to one road. Aishton was born In Evanston just 56 years ago today. His father was a tea merchant. After graduating from high school, his parents wanted to send him to college but young Rich ard, then 18, would have none of it. He wanted to be a railroad instauter. He sought a job with the Chicago and Northwestern and got it. His duties were to lay the hard part of a sledge hammer on the top of a stake with as much force as he could muster. After several years of this he married at the age of 21. Then he became a roadman, and successively assistant engineer. Twenty-one years ago yesterday he was given his first really important post assistant superintendent of the road. In 1902 he was made assistant to the general manager, and less than four years later became manager. In 1910 he was appointed vice president of operation and maintenance. There was just one more step and he took it, the presidency. Last year Mr. Aishton served on the Federal Industrial Relations committee of which Frank P. Walsh was head. Perhaps the best characterization of the C. & N. W.'s new head is given by his wife. Asked for a few details of his life, she replied: "I guess I know him as well as anyone does, and all I can say is that he is a plain, hardworking man." NOT HER STYLE.

He is the most obnoxious of the candidates so far mentioned, they say, and they very frankly claim that if it seems certain that he is to be the nominee they may not be able to control their forces. May Nominate. Colonel. In the event that the Hughes strength crystalizes by the early part of next week, they say, there is a strong possibility that the ultra-radical element in attendance on the Progressive convention, which will meet in the auditorium theatre, will take the bit in its teeth and go ahead and nominate the colonel without waiting for the Republicans to show their hands. To this argument the Republican leaders are replying that if this is to be the Progressive attitude it will be just as well to have it revealed at the start. It Is expected that between now and Monday Mr. Perkins, as manager of the Progressive organization, will propose to the Republican national committee the appointment of a conference committee to discuss a plan of getting together.
