NICHOLSON OUTLINES IDEAS OF FEDERATION

S. E. Nicholson was asked today for a statement of the plans and policies of the Richmond Church Federation the coming years. He replied that he could not anticipate the action of the Executive Committee which -will be called together some time In August to consider this fhole question. When it was .suggested that probably the people of Richmond did not have a clear understanding of the purposes of the Federation he said the Federation had been effected in order to guarantee more thorough cooperation on the part of all the churches in the city along certain lines of religious and social work in which the backing and support of all the churches is absolutely essential. Issues Statement. "Heretofore the Ministerial Association, which exists primarily for purroses of good fellowship and the mutual betterment and edification of the members, has had to deal with many questions pertaining to the religious and moral life of the city which should be cered for by the churches as a w hole and by the laity In particular. "Probably there 13 no one in the city who can tell with any degree of assurance whether or not every element of our population is being brought tinder religious influences. In my judgment it should become the duty of the Federation to see that a careful religious survey of the city is made at an early date, following which steps 6hould be taken through the various religious agencies of the city to see that no family is allowed to escape the opportunity of religious training and spiritual betterment. Such a survey would indicate whether or not there is need of additional city missionary activity along the lines of the North Fourteenth Street Mission. IWNER OF LOTS TAKES APPEAL FROM BOAR Following the action of the board of public works today in confirming the final assessment roll for the opening of South G street between South Fifth street and the wst corporation line, the site of the new south end bridge, Attorney Wilfred Jessup, representing one of the property owners, Jonathan Evans, announced he would appeal the board's action to the circuit court. Evans owns two lots on the west bank of the river which the board ordered condemned and for which Evans was allowed $200 damages. Evans contended he was entitled to 11,000 damages. The new bridge will be over these two lots. Board Stands Pat. The board stood pat on its decision to assess only South Fifth street property owners, between Main and South I streets, for the condemnation of property necessary for the opening of South G street to each bridge approach. Assessments of two property owners were modified, however, and Frank Kolde's assessment of $18 was entirely revoked. The assessment of rta Heidelman was reduced from $55.80 to $27.90; that of Anton Hursting from $62.22 to $31.11. The assessment against South Fifth street property owners range from 2Va cents a front foot to 30 cents a front f00tV. A. Parke was awarded the contract for the construction of the bed of the new motor ambulance-patrol on n bid of $250. The board adopted a motion for the construction of a brick pavement on Southwest Third street, from National Road to Southwest E street. Howe ver, the property owners will decide on the kind of paving to be put down. If the property owners support the board's action the contract will go to Cronin & Meredith. This firm bid 60 cents a square yard for concrete curbs and gutters. and $1.SS a square yard for the brick paving. MAKES 44 CALLS AS VISITING NURSE Miss Lillian Mahin in her weekly report to the Visiting nurse committee of the Social service bureau which met last night at the home of Mrs. Lee Nusbaum showed that she had made fourty-four calls during the last week, besides caring for the baby welfare fetation at the Whitewater school. HOLD JOHN CARROLL FOR SAFE KEEPING John Carroll, believed to be mentally deranged, is being held for safe keeping at the city jail. Efforts to locate members of his family; said to live in New York, will be made. Carroll appeared at an East End home Tuesday informing an astonished housewife that he would like to have a cup of coffee to "steady his nerves" as he had Just killed a man. ATTENDING CONVENTION. Seth Watson has received a letter from his son, William B. Watson, who Is a delegate to the Moose convention at Mooseheart, saying that the convention is a great success. "I am meeting delegates to this convention from all over the world," he writes. ' M . He will probably return to Richmond tomorrow. UNTHANK WROTE ARTICLE. Yesterday an article discussing the Main street bridge was credited to John H. Unthank when the author should have been given as J. B. Unthank, chairman of a west Bide committee. NO DATE ARRANGED. No date has been fixed for the conference to be held in regard to the water rates ruling recently made by the state commission. This conference will be attended by representatives of the city, the water works porapany and sprinkling system users.;

It ought to be possible also ultimately to enlarge the circle of mother's meetings and children's classes, especially among the neglected portions of our people. Brings About Co-operating. "The Federation should be able to do something at an early day in the matter of a closer co-operation and fellowship on the part of the numerous men's bible classes and brotherhood's In the city.with a view to strengthening the religious life of all our people. "Speaking personally I believe that the Federation can recommend to the churches a most helpful course of preparation running through the autumn, for a city-wide evangelistic movement in the early winter, certainly not later than January, in which all the churches can participate in their own way and with their own workers, coming together' only at stated times in great mass meeting demonstrations. Whether or not during such a period noon hour meetings for men can be held in one of our theaters or some other public place is a matter which will have to be decided upon later, but it seems to me that such a procedure is entirely practicable. The chief purposes of the Federation should undoubtedly be to promote along co-operative lines the religious life of the city, and from time to time it will concern itself no doubt with such social service work as will contribute to this end. "Whenever the needs of the city require the Joint action of the churches, in any particular line of service that will make for the betterment of the 'whole city, the Federation will exist as the channel through which such effort can be put forth, with a minimum of friction and duplication and maximum of efficiency."

CLUB WILL RECEIVE GIFTS FOR FAMILIES OF LATE POLICEMEN The depository at the Commercial club for the citizens fund to be given to the families of Elmer Stephenson and .George M. Little will be' open every day except Sunday from 8 o'clock in the morning until 5 o'clock in the evening.

No personal canvass of the city will be made. When the money is subscribed, the contributor must designate the family for which it is intended. LEVEL BRIDGE MEN TO GONBAT PETITION S. E. Mills, leader of the faction which wants a level bridge constructed across the Whitewater river at Main street crossing, said today that although it is not likely that the level bridge advocates will get out a petition they will do something within the near future to show the county commissioners that they have not given up their fight. Mr. Mills accused the slanting bridge advocates of putting out false rumors to the effect that the level bridge men have given up and turned over to favor a slanting bridge. SULZER TO OPPOSE HANLY AS CANDIDATE TO LEAD PROHI SLATE ST. PAUL, Minn., July 20. Battle lines for the Prohibition presidential nomination were drawn more tightly here today with the arrival on the ground of William Sulzer, the ex-gov ernor of New York. Mr. Sulzer cameto the convention to make an eleventh hour attempt to defeat th$ nomination of J. Frank. Hanly, of Indiana, and to gain for himself the party honor. CALLED TO COLORS; LEAVES YOUNG BRIDE Harley E. Piehe, a reserve of thrj United States army, received orders today to report to the Jeffersonvilie station ready for duty tomorrow morning. He will leave this evening. In obeyance to the order he reported at the recruiting station today. He will leave a bride of four months. Piehe has been on the reserve force for a little over a year. WOMEN EMPLOYED AS GREEN KEEPERS CHICAGO, July 20. Boy, mark up another occupation open to women. George O'Neill, professional at the Beverley Country club, has fired all the men green keepers and employed women. "This hot weather," said Mr. O'Neill, "the men instead of pulling weeds, combing the grass on the green and keeping it green, loafed in the shade, let the grass die and become generally Inefficient. We want efficiency, so I employed women." He picked the first from a truck garden. So far as is known they are the only women green keepers In the world. BUILDING PERMIT. J. M.

MINISTERS READ AT FUNERAL OF The following resolutions, relative to the death of Rev. I. M. Hughes, were drawn up by Rev. Addison Parker and adopted by the Ministerial association at a special meeting at the Y. M. C. A. this morning. The resolutions were read later at the funeral services for Dr. Hughes: The Ministerial Association of which Dr. I. M. Hughes has been for long years an honored member, would on this occasion bring its tribute of profound regard. We would express our tender sympathy with the stricken family, especially remembering those two best known to us, the wife, honored and beloved for her on sake as well as her husband's, and that son who is himself a minister and as a Richmond pastor once belonged to this association. ' Known as Veteran. To most of the men now serving as pastors of our churches, Dr. Hughes has been known only as a veteran soldier of the cross, retired from active service through the infirmities of ripening years. For the last four years of his retirement he has been able to respond but seldom to our roll-call. But alike to the few of . us who have enjoyed his more intimate acquaintance and to the men who have been denied this privilege, his life's record is as enviable as it is deserved. Among his honorable titles to distinction his last is the noblest of them all. Pastor Emeritus! Yes, through .the long years of his ministry he has, as the word has it, "purchased unto himself a good degree." Who of us amid the uncertainties of pastoral life would not count this an enviable record? Record Is Enviable. To have spent five years in the ministry of teaching; nine years in a single country parish; thirty years PEOPLE DEMAND RETALIATION ON TRADE BOYCOTT WASHINGTON, July 20. A flood of protest from all parts of the United States against the British boycott was pouring in upon the White House and the state department today. The action of Great Britain in mak ing public a general list of American firms who have been boycotted because they "trade with England's enemies," has aroused public sentiment, and demands for retaliatory legislation were reaching here from various commercial organizations and individuals affected. Awaits Official Notice. The state department is planning action. It must wait, officials say, a "reasonable time" for official notification of Great Britain's action? If that is not forthcoming, a direct inquiry will be made at London. Meanwhile, Acting Secretary of State Polk is looking into the international law bearing on the subject. It is expected that after all of the facts are compiled he will take the matter up with President Wilson before framing the planned protest. Officials very frankly say that the making public of this boycott list is, in their opinion, the opening gun ' in what likely will prove a relentless trade war. against all neutrals who have refused to accept without pro test the restrictions placed upon com merce by the entente allies. Operative for Year. They point to the fact that the present boycott list was prepared by the British board of trade and that it has been operative for more than a year, although only just now made public, as indicating that the measure is one planned by Britih exporters and manufacturers to regain their trade lost by the war. The making public of the list now, officials believe, was in an ticipation that at the end of the pres ent great drives on the eastern and western front, peace negotiations will assume a definite form. More than 2,000,000 European wo men have been forced to take up men s work since the war started.

RESOLUTIONS REV. I. M. HUGHES fin the leadership of a representative

and Influential urban church, and then as old age drew on to have spent twelve years more in dignified retire ment from active service In his beloved home, embosomed in the sympathies of his family and townsmen and blessed with the amenities of life this has been his enviable and not unmerited record. "Deserve success," says one, "and you shall have It." Dr. Hughes was a most watchful, sympathetic and devoted pastor to his flock. Few men were better undershepherds. His study, as his intellectual workshop, was the scene of an unremitting industry. From it came week by week and year by year the careful product of a clear and balanced intellect that molded and fashioned the religious thought of his people. Pulpit Demanded Respect. His pulpit commanded attention, respect and conviction. His ministry at large always benefited the conspicuous place he filled, and was helpful in every good word and work. As members of the Ministerial association to which Dr. Hughes belonged, our best tribute to his memory will be rendered through an emulation of his devoted life. MayAour aim, like his. be: . "To live for those who need us, For those who know us true; For the heaven that smiles above us And waits our coming, too; For the cause that needs assistance, nor the wrongs that need resist ance, For the future in the distance And the good that we can do."EGULARS KEEP PROGRESSIVES ALIVE IN STATE INDIANAPOLIS, July 20. Smothering all opposition to a state ticket, and rejecting a proposal to endorse Charles Evans Hughes, the Republican nominee for president, the "regulars" of the Progressive party today kept the party alive in Indiana. Edward M. Lee, state-chairman, was cheered when he declared 'the party should retain its solidarity, and the resolutions adopted assailed both the Democratic and Republican parties. W. D. Headrick of Indianapolis and James B. Wilson of Bloomington, who addressed the convention, voiced its sentiments in pleas for its to continue to seek "Its place in the sun." The Progressive-Republican element led by William H. Dyne, William Dudley Foulke and others, who suggested the. formation of a Progressive league, the endorsement of Hughes and ihe disruption of the party, never had1 a real chance for a real fight in the convention.

WIFE SLAYER MAY BE SENT BACK FOR TRIAL In a letter received by Isaac A. Gormon of this city, former chief of police, from a state prison officer at Michigan City intimation is given that Seth Lucas, now in the criminal Insane department of" the prison, Is steadily recovering from his mental derangement. The letter further intimates, Mr. Gormon states, that there is a prospect, at some future time, of Lucas being returned to Richmond for trial on the charge of having murdered his wife. Lucas cannot be tried on such a charge unless he full recovers his normal mentality. In Insane Department. Lucas, who has been in the insane department of the northern state prison for over three years, was thfi perpetrator of one of the most grewsome murders in the criminal history of Wayne county. While residing on a farm near Greensfork Lucas murdered his wife with an axe and then set fire to the house to conceal the crime. His wife's body was cremated. Several months elapsed between the perpetration of this crime and his arrest. He was neve." tried for his offense as he was declared to be insane shortly after his arrest. The crime could never have been fastened upon Lucas had it not been for a confession made by the murderer. Convinced that Mrs. Lucas had not met with an accidental death Mr. Gormon, then chief of police, kept her husband under close surveillance. His untiring efforts were finally rewarded. Lucas one day rushed into police headquarters and confessed he had slain his wife. Within a short time he became' a raving maniac. DIFFERENT FEEL ENABLES HUNTERS TO AVOID BITES Two turtle hunters were telling this one today on a novice whom they had initiated into the mystery of tprtle hunting. The neophite had been told that he must feel in the water holes and when he detected a turtle to seize it by the tail and throw it on the bank. The apprentice ventured into the water, and feeling the turtle, grabbed for the tail. But Mr. Turtle's vise-like jaws closed over Mr. Turtle Hunter's finger, provoking weeping, gnashing of teeth and a lot of profanity. "Why didn't you get him by the tail?" sympathized one of the experts. "You crazy boob, how can I tell which is the head or tail in muddy water?", replied the the bitten one. The experts tried to explain to him that it was all in "knowing how to feel."
