STATE SOCIETY PROTESTS SITE FOR HOSPITAL

What is taken to be a protest against the location of a tuberculosis sanitorium on or adjacent to poor farm ground or near charitable Institutions, was received from the Indiana Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis by Miss Mary Kennedy, county educational nurse. The letter was written immediately after county commissioners announced they would ask county council to pass a special appropriation of $7,000 to purchase 37 acres at $211 an acre of the Hill estate near the county farm west of Centerville. The letter follows: "It was only yesterday that this society, through its executive committee, resolved that it views with increasing alarm the tendency of Indiana sanitoriums to locate themselves upon the grounds of county poor farms or other charitable institutions. Predicts Regret Soon. "This resolution is based upon coun try-wide experience of the anti-tuber culosis movement which demonstrates that societies' which take this step usually regret it within, two or three years. The whole institution becomes generally known as a charitable institution and usually as the 'county poor farm' instead of the tuberculosis sanatorium. ' "The result is that you do not get a chance to take pay patients to any extent, you do not get the large, selfrespecting middle class which we know all tuberculosis associations wish to serve. "If the state society can be of any assistance in corresponding directly with those having this work in charge, or in calling upon them so that no serious mistake of this kind may be made in selecting the Wayne County Sanatorium site if it can be avoided, just let us know. "Arthur J. Strawson, Executive Secretary." The letter came to Richmond when Miss Kennedy was attending the antituberculosis conference in Louisville and she did not receive it until this morning. Because of the delay, it was not referred to the county commissioned, but it probably will be submitted to the Wayne County Anti-Tuberculosis society. Not Charity Institutions. One of the points most emphasized at the conference of anti-tuberculosis workers and experts from 17 states in the Mississippi valley last week was summed up, Miss Kennedy said today in the sentence: "Tuberculosis sanatoriums are not charitable institutions. Needy persons with tuberculosis are not paupers." "In that connection It would be well to look far into the future," said Miss Kennedy. "The county will have in the tuberculosis sanatorium a means of revenue which it will draw from all the surrounding counties. Every county with patients for which the Rockville state sanatorium has not room, will be sent here. "The pay for those patients will be $10 a week. The county can operate the sanatorium at a profit on the patients, which are sent in from outside counties. If care were taken in the location and the reputation of the sanatorium were maintained, the county could render assistance to the eastern part of the state and create a source of revenue which would aid in cutting the general maintainence cost of the sanatorium." RUIN CHARLES STREET Mayor Robbins informed the board of public works today that Charles Street, in Fairview, which was macadamized by the city last year, had almost been ruined by the gas company, which had dug a trench the length of the street and had then thrown the crushed rock back into the trench without rolling or even tamping it. The board intends to compel the company to repair the street in a proper manner. ASKS FOR INSPECTION Building Inspector Hodgin today issued a warning to all householders to carefully inspect flues and smoke stacks before . the beginning of cold weather to see that they were in proper condition. "That is one sure way of preventing fires," Hodgin said. RACES POLICE AUTO Wesley Kettler, a motor truck driver, raced with the police machine today on South Eighth street from B street to H street, where the truck was finally overhauled and its driver arrested on a charge of exceeding the Bpeed limit. He will be arraigned in city court in the morning.

RAE CONDEMNS POLITICIANS FOR PLAY ON FEAR In a strictly non-partisan way, Rev. J. J. Rae condemned political parties for methods which they employ during elections, at the vesper service of the First Presbyterian church Sunday. "No big political party recognizes the divine law during the campaigns. They exert every imaginable method to win votes. "The church is maintaining a painful silence. When a moral law is at issue, it is then time for the church to take a hand in politics but at no other. No Danger Imminent "Despite the cries of politicians, the country stands in no great danger, no matter which party wins. Each party is trying to mislead the people by telling them that great danger awaits the country if the other party is elected. "I condemn this narrow vision which seeks benefits for a few. .The cam-' paigns are largely a waste of money. Oh, that men would reserve their spite in a campaign like this and recognize that God is over us all. The issues are 'what will bring us votes and what will get us elected' and not what is right. Call Christian Leaders "A man who is dishonest in all his relationships, domestic, civic and business, leads one of the biggest political parties in Chicago. The leader of the other party is no better. So it is in many other places. "Thank God, both parties are obliged to call good Christian men to the front to run for the supreme office in the land." The Rev. Mr. Rae predicted that the time is coming when the secret ballot will pass." '' v "I pray that the time will soon come when men can cast their votes openly and unfearingly and will be respected for their views," herald., PETTY THIEVES GET MONEY FROM CHEST AT FIRST LUTHERAN Petty thieves gained entrance into the First English Lutheran church sometime last week and robbed two money chests which contained contributions from Sunday school children. The exact amount of the loss is not known. The robbery was discovered yesterday morning during the Sunday school service. Jehorda chest and the children's birthday box were unlocked by keys which were taken from their hiding places. This is puzzling the church authorities. Although the church is being remodeled it Is kept locked at all times when workmen are not present If the church was entered at, night, a key was evidently used to gain the entrance. PROGRESSIVES FAIL TO FILE CERTIFICATES WITH COUNTY CLERK Not one Progressive candidate has yet filed his certificate of nomination with the county clerk. All candidates on the Democratic and Republican tickets have had their certificates on file for over two weeks. This was made public today by Mike Kelly, county clerk. "If the party means to keep a ticket in the field it is essential that the candidates file their certificates immediatly," Mr. Kelly said. The ballots must be sent to the printer within the next few days. No changes can be made on the ballots after October 23. CITY TAX RATE 2 CENTS LOWER Contrary to all expectations, the tax rate for the city of Richmond for 1917 is two cents less than it was for 1916. The rate as made public by Auditor Bowman today is $3.30 on the $100; last year It was $3.32. Because the court house bond levy of seven cents was laid aside this year, the rate could be decreased although the city levies proper were several cents higher. Wayne township levy was decreased from $2.22 for 1916 to $2.16 for 1917. There were no roads built this year under the Three Mile Road law.

PLACES OF REGISTRATION TO CLOSE AT 9 O'CLOCK

Inclement weather today was apparently having no effect on the registering of Wayne county voters who had failed to register two years" ago or who had, 6ince that time, moved Into other precincts.

One stalwart Democrat living in the east end of the city who was almost completely paralysed several weeks ago declined to register by affidavit and was taken to his registration place in an automobile. "We are greatly pleased over the interest shown by unregistered voters in seeking Information as to their places of registration or whether they are SUBSEA BOATS CAUSE SLUMP UPON MARKET NEW YORK, Oct. 9.

required to register, said George Matthews, In charge of Republican headquarters. "It indicates to us that there will be very few Republicans, at least w-ho will not be qualified to vote next month. A number of voters who were not required to register today, went to their registration places to make doubly 6ure that they did not have to register."
