MINISTRY METING; EDUCATIONAL PLANS ARE FIRST DISCUSSED

The meeting for ministry and oversight, preceding the Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends, convened Monday morning at Earlham college. The first business of the session was the choice of a presiding clerk pro tern to fill the place made vacant by Ancil Rati iff, who Is doing Friends works in Europe. Herman O. Miles was chosen presiding clerk of the meeting and Is being mentioned for permanent clerk owing to the continued absence of Mr. Ratllff. A proposal providing fc better educational facilities for ministers and Christian workers was offered to the assembly by a Joint committee from the Indiana and Western Meetings. The proposal was to be acted upon by the assembly Monday afternoon. The oroDosals Dolnted out that, in

view of the fact that for many years a great need has been felt for better educational facilities, It Is proposed to establish a course of study for the tse of ministers and Christian workers of the Indiana and Western Yearly Meetings. An outline of the subjects was presented. Biblical study,

sociology, psychology and church pol

icy are the subjects suggested.

The proposal also provides that the

work shall be given by correspondence. Group meetings at various

times and at various places are pro

vided for. Recommends a Committee The proposal also recommends the appointment of a committee of three constitute the executive committee in the selection, of a faculty and in the arrangement of a curriculum. The committee would also aid in the selection of a dean. Willard O. Trucblood has been- suggested for this position. The proposal was signed by Aaron " Kapler, Zeno H. Doan and David M. Edwards. The Rev. W. L. Pierson, of the Kansas Meeting, and Daniel L. Iawrence are the only visiting ministers, and they were given a warm welcome at Monday's assembly.

Potatoes, tobacco and hay also showed improvement with larger production forecast than made a month ago.

SPECULATIVE STOCKS SUFFER A BIG DROP

NEW YORK. Apg. 9. New low figures for the year were made in a num. feer of stocks during the first hours of trading in the stock exchange today. The more serious aspects of the Polish situation, together with a drop of 7 cents in sterling exchange, was responsible for renewed liquidation and short selling, which affected all quarters on the list. Shares which command a big speculative following were the weakest, including the equipments, steels, oils, and shippings. Baldwin and Pan-American yieldei four points, Vandium and United States Fruit, five, and Mexican Petroleum, 4. In the railroad quarter, Louisville and Nashville gave away five; Texas Pacific, four; Union Pacific and Lackawanna, three points. Not only did sterling exchange drop seven cents but rates on other countries dropped 10 to 35 points, after sterling exchange had made a notable rally from last week's low figure of $3.55. the price of demand bills today fell to $3.604. Relaxation of professional pressure, purchases by bargain hunters, free offering of call money at six per cent, and a further rally in sterling, contributed to a sharp recovery early this afternoon. Some shares made up as much as three to four points, with the general recovery running from one to two points.

that he was admitted to the bar, in 1893, Miller became a close student of politics and affairs of government. His first excursion into

the

arena came when he was elected school commissioner of Cortland county, N. Y., in 1894. After his re-election in 1896 he refused a third term and devoted

himself to a growing law practice. He W8s state comptroller In 1902-1903, during which time he received firsthand Information about the financial affairs of his state. A short time after he became a supme court Justice and was later elevated to the post of associate Judge of the court of appeals, the highest state tribunal. Judse Miller was born at Solon, N. Y., in 1868, the son of a farmer. As a youth he attended Groton academy and Cortland normal school.

The population for 1920 shows an increase for the state of 210,505 persons from the population for 1910, which was 2,700,878. This Increase, as estimated, it at the rate of 7.79 per cent. The estimate is believed to be reasonably accurate, because it is based on final returns from 69 of the 92 counties In Indiana, and on estimates of the population of the other 23 counties figured from both the in creases of some counties for the years 1900-1910 and the Increase of (the known 69 counties for the years 19101920. Method of Caluclatlng Estimate. The increase in population for the. counties that are not yet reported was assumed to be the mean between the two increases noted above, and since this method of calculating population has been shown in numerous oher cases to give approximately correct results, the presumption is that it will do the same in this case. The 23 Indiana counties which have not yet been reported are: Benton, Clark, Clark, Clay, Daviess, Dekalb. Greene. Knox, Laporte, Madison, MarIon, Monroe, Montgomery, Morgan Newton, Noble Parke, Porter, Starke Steuben, Vermillion, Warren, White and Whitely. Of the counties so far reported. Lake shows the largest population, of 159,124. This will make Lake the second largest county in the state after Marion has been reported, and Incidentally will give Lake a Fufficient population to support one-half a mem-

SUFFRAGE SESSION ON IN TENNESSEE

(By Associated Press) NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 9 The legislature of Tennessee meets in special session today to consider ratification of the federal woman suffrage amendment and suffrage advocates hope, to complete the list of thirty-six states necessary to enfranchise the

women of the nation. Delay by Gov. Roberts ln issuing the call for the special session, which was not sent out until Saturday because of the necessity of first holding elections to fill thirteen vacancies in the senate and house, made it probable that absence of a quorum would prevent a regular session today. In this event, an adjournment until tomorrow was expected to be taken to permit members from distant parts of the state to reach the capital. Final statements before the opening of the battle by suffrage and antisuffrage leaders alike expressed confidence as to the outcome.

AMERICAN THREATENS BRITISH COAL MEN

(By Associated Press) NEWCASTLE-ON-THE-TYNE, Aug. 6. America is threatening the British coal monopoly of Europe. W. J. Noble, chairman of the Tyne Improvement commission, in the course of a recent speech, drew attention to new competition from the United States and Australia. Recently he saw in Scandanavia, he said, vast stocks of coal from America, and saw a contract concluded for 200,000 tons of coal from Australia He had learned also, he said, that last year the United States exported nearly 21.000,000 tons of coal to Europe and South America, compared with 1,500.000 the year before the warr. There was a real danger of under estimating the America coal competition in markets which were once vir-
