CONVENE MARCH 15 TO PLAN SCHOOL OUTSIDE OF CITY
County Superintendent Williams announced today that all persons in Wayne township interested in the erection of vocation high schools will be called into a mass meeting in Richmond some time after March 15 to discuss locations. The head of the state department of vocational training will be invited to attend. The locations must.be approved by the department because the state pays two-thirds of the maintenance. The township advisory board must pass on all new buildings and will attend the mass meeting. Patrons of township school number 10 met at the trustee's office this afternoon to discusse the possibility of
getting a new grade school building erected in Fairview. A petition for a new building signed by all but six patrons of the school was presented.

MILLER-KEMPER DOUBLES CAPACITY TO MEET EXPANDING BUSINESS
Under the press of present orders and the prospect for unusually good business the coming spring, summer and fall, the Miller-Kemper company, this city, announced today that its present mill capacity would at once be doubled by the construction of a reinforced-concrete addition to the plant, a building 60 by 100 feet, equipped with the most modern labor saving lumber mill machinery and dry kilns. Edwin O. Kemper, secretary of the company, said today: . Obtain Warehouse Space. ' "We just recently bought the old Fulton Boiler Works for warehouse purposes which is now filled to capacity. The prospects for business the coming year together with unfilled orders on hand is forcing us to ex

higher than last year, they are still considerably lower than they will be a year hence, either in case of peace or war. We already know what war does to prices but if peace should come it will open the export trade in lumber which has practically been shut off, and this is bound to shove the prices higher. Lumber prices are still considerably under other commodities in proportion. "We have been fortunate in getting a complete stock of building material at old prices and feel that we can
easily hold our own in competition the coming year. We are now carrying the largest and most complete stock of
lumber and building materials in eastern Indiana, manufacture all kinds of high grade mill work, do a general contracting business in eastern Indiana and Ohio "Our wholesale department, which has been in operation during the past year, during which time we have served dealers within a radius of fifty
i miles and we hope to make it an im
portant part of our business. We are just completing the high school at Tippecanoe City, Ohio. "Richmond is the ideal location for wholesale lumber and millwork business, as the closest points now in competition are Indianapolis and Cincinnati. The manufacture of Royal lawn swings and settees and Economy farm gates is also a heavy side line with us, shipments in these lines being made from coast to coast.
Prof. Ralph C. Sloane, supervisor of music in Richmond schools, today contracted with Harry B. Demaree, representing the Dublin Welfare league for the appearance of the high school orchestra of CO pieces at Dublin early in March. The orchestra may also appear at Cambridge City later in the spring.
NEWCASTLE SAYS GAS FIRM SHOWS FAVOR TO RICHMON
Although Richmond's natural gas supply during th-e recent very coli weather was decidedly limited, the gas situation locally was much better than in several other Indiana cities served by the same pipe line, notably New Castle, which city was completely deprived of its gas supply. New Castle people are charging that the company operating the pipe line has shown favoritism to the Richmond Light, Heat & Power company, anrl the charge is also made that the local gas company has more patrons than
it can serve satisfactorily. The New Castle Times says editorially, in part: The culprit in this instance, we are pleased to say, is not so much the Richmond Light, Heat & Power Co., as is the gigantic natural gas trust that own 8 the gas fields and the pipe lines through which the gas is delivered to the various cities. The L. H. '& P. Co. may not be entirely guiltless, but at least it has a pretty good alibi. It buys the gas it peddles to you and mo from the pipe line trust, and of course has to take precisely what it C5T! get. j But the present shortage has denv onstrated cloarly that the Richmond Light, Heat & Power Co., has more gas consumers than it can accommodate comfortably. It would be interesting,
in the light of these facts, to know whether the company, is or is not seeking still other new business.
Indianapolis police officials, it was announced today, believe they are now in possession of facts in connection with a case involving the late Mrs. Lola Alexander-Churchill-Austin, of Eaton, O., who died in that town last December, which will establish the rightful heiress to the $60,000 estate left by Mrs. Austin. The Indianapolis authorities believe that an Englishwoman, a 'Mrs. Lola
Josephson of Skerton-Lancaster, Lancaster, England, will be successful in her efforts to establish herself as the daughter of Mrs. Austin, the mother having given her to a colored woman while a baby, it is alleged. Baby Daughter Born. It has been established that a baby daughter was born to Mrs. Austin when she was the wife of the late Dr. Abner Churchill, her first husband. Dr. and Mrs. Churchill were residents of Indianapolis at that time. JHe had formerly been a practicing dentist in Eaton. In an Indianapolis newspaper yesterday the statement was msde that Mrs. Austin on her deathbed repented for her unnatural act and pleaded that her daughter be found so that she could receive her estate, but the Pal
ladium correspondent in Eaton report-
j ed today that so far as known Mrs. j Aust ;n made no mention of her daughter prior to her death and also stated .that no mention' of' thin daughter is i contained in Mrs: Austin's wili. . It has ben related of the late Mrs. Austin that the stork's gift to her was , not acceptable, and Mrs. Josephine j Merrill of Indianapolis has informed j the Indianapolis authorities that the
PETITIONS PRESENTED
late Dr. Churchill, who died in 1897, had told her that his daughter had xlisappeared when a baby while he was away from home on a business trip. ' Mrs. Merrill stated that Dr. Churchill informed her that hi3 . wife explained the disappearance of the baby with the statement that she had given the child to a colored woman to nurse and that when she went to get the baby, both the colored woman and the baby had disappeared. This story was not believed by the father and event
ually the couple became estranged. The father spent virtually all his time until his death seeking hi3 lost child. Severalyesrs ago Mrs. Churchill became the wife of a Cleveland man, named Aus'in. Following his death she came to Eaton, about two years ago, and secured the estate of her f?thdr, . Perry Alexander, one of the most prominent residents of Preble county, on bis death, Thi3 estate amounted to about ?G0,C00. The woman continued to live In Eaton until her death. Several relatives of the late Mrs. Austin reside in Richmond and vicinity, and at one time her first husband, the late Dr. Churchill, was well known in Richmond.
