SON OF SIXTY-NINTH TO ATTEND REUNION ' OF FOSTER FATHERS

The reunion of the Sixty-ninth Indiana Volunteers to be held here Saturday recalls the adoption of John H. Newman, an orphan of Confederate parentage, by the regiment. Mr. Newman is state librarian of Ohio aud will attend the reunion Saturday. He was taken aboard the boat at Mobile, Ala., at the close of the war and adopted by the regiment. When the war broke out, the father and brothers of little John Newman joined the Confederate army to fight for the cause they thought just. During the first year of the struggle, Yankee bullets claimed their lives. The mother while grieving over the loss of her husband and children, took sick and died. Orphan John Newman was left without estate or home. He sold papers to make enough to buy his meals and slept where he could find shelter. "In 1864 and early in '65 I sold papers printed on one side of old wall paper for $5 each," the loyal son of the 69th who never misses the regimental reunion, told the veterans at a reunion a few days ago. "I would have to sell a dozen or more papers before I would have enough to buy a meal. I was dealing with Confederate money. Men in Blue Arrive. "One night in the spring of '65 I went to bed when the boys in gray were flocking the streets. The next morning they were all gone. A day passed. Again I went to bed. When 1 rose the next morning, I saw outside the city long rows of strange tents. The men to whom the tents belonged were dressed in blue. "Such men had been described to me as horrible people. With the nerve which is common to newsboys, I decided to investigate. The newcomers bought my papers but they only paid me five and ten cents. It was a different kind of money from that with which I had been dealing. The Yankee soldiers treated me fine. Before they let me leave the camp, they gave me the first square meal I had had for over a year. "My boyish instinct took me back to the same place the next morning. The men called me their boy, and I was pleased. Follows Boys in Blue. "A few weeks passed and then one I ranrnin? th naner which I sold an nounced that the war was over. A few days later I learned that my blue uniformed friends had received orders to leave. I followed them to the dock. With tears streaming down my cheeks, ! I stood on the shore and saw the gang plank drawn in. A big hearted soldier saw me. He threw down the plank and told me to come. With almost one jump, I was on the boat It steamed away. "I was petted and made over. After the. regiment was mustered out, I was brought to Richmond. -Tomake sure that I would be well taken care of, the veterans placed me in jhe care of a soldier, Charles Bloom, who lives in Ohio. He gave me a good education and cared for me. "The Northern army robbed me of my dearest friends on earth. I hold no malice towards them. The South now realizes that the North, through the Civil war, started that part of the country on the path of prosperity that it had never known before." After teaching school for a number of years, Mr. Newman was appointed Ohio State Legislative librarian. WAR MEMORIAL STONE GOMES FROM FRANCE INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct. 1. A stone hewn from the bridge over the Marne at Chateau Thierry, where the American troops halted the German drive in the summer of 1918, will be used as the corner stone of the war memorial building -vhich will house the national headquarters of the American Legion, it was announced here today. The war memorial will be erected here by the fctate. Provisions for the building were made by the general assembly at its special session during the summer. The stone from the bridge was presented to the legion by the French government through a visiting delegation of the Knights of Columbus and the legion presented it to the Department of Indiana to be used as the corner stone for the war memorial and national headquarters building. The stone will probably be unveiled with appropriate ceremonies in connection with the Legion's celebrations on Armistice Day. It weighs S00 pounds and a metal plate attached points out its historic significance. Anti-Bolshevik Steamer Sequestered; Entrusted To Garibaldi Society ROME, Sept. 30 The steamer Rodosto, the property of the anti-Bolshevik government of South Russia, which was recently seized at Genoa, has been sequestrated and entrusted to the Garibaldi co-operative society, says the Giornaalc D'ltalia. v The federation of seamen threatens a general strike of sailors through Italy because the authorities have arrested men implicated In the capture of the steamer Rodosto, says a despatch from Genoa. Among those arrested were three leaders of the federation. In addition the authorities have Issued warrants for the arrest of sailors who are now at sea, and against others who might leave the country. Deputy Gniletti, president of the federation, has protested against these arrests, and had sent an interpellation to the chamber of deputies.

Warren Valentine, Former Resident, Perfects Instrument to Test Solids

Warren P. Valentine, formerly a resident of this city, son of the late Prof. W. H. Valentine, a teacher here and brother of E. J. Valentine, of Richmond, has perfected a refractometer, the first of its kind ever made in America. He is a Philadelphia business man and began experimenting on optical instruments in order to wrest supremacy in this field from Germany. The United States Bureau of Standard-! has tested his refractometer and pronounced it the most accurate instrument of its type ever tested in the government laboratories. A refractometer is a delicate piece of mechanism composed of prisms, microscopic lenses, thermometer and measuring tables. These instruments are in universal use all over the country by chemists and food manufacturers, for testing sugar syrups, to find the proportion of sweetness; analyzing blood serums, ascertaining the amount of solids In milk, the amount of water in butter, and similar tests for finding the proportion of solids in a liquid. Germany Had Monoply. Previous to the war all such instruments came from Germany. This was not due to patents nor because manufacturers ot other countries could not make. them. Every one accepted the theory that , Germany excelled in workmanship. This influence was so strong that congress passed a law permitting the importation, duty free, of all chemical apparatus manufactured in foreign countries. The act discouraged the manufacture of instruments in this country. When the United States entered thf war, Mr. Valentine had a strong desire to help. A friend, who knew that his boyhood hobby had been the study of optics and constructing telescopes, suggested that he try to reproduce some of the German instruments that the trade so desperately needed, but could not secure. After two years of study he has his plans perfected, but could not find a firm to make the instrument, forcing him to construct the metal parts, the glass lenses and the prisms. Third In World. Mr. Valentine is only the third man in the world to make a refractometer. The first was a German manufacturer and the other a British. Hi3 instrument was one of the exhibits of the Americal Chemical society, that met in Philadelphia, Sept. 6. As the idea CABINET DISCUSSES SITUATION IN IRELAND (By Associated Press) LONDON, Sept. 30 Members of the British cabinet met today to discuss the situation in Ireland and to learn from General Sir Frederick Nevil MacReady, commander of military forces there, details of conditions in the island. It was forecast that it was likely the cabinet would request an explanation from the commander of a recent interview which has been interpreted by the newspapers here as condoning reprisals by Black and Tan police. Terence MacSwiney, lord mayor of Cork, passed another very bad night at Brixton prison, where he this morning began the 50th day of his hunger strike. He slept a little before midnight, but not after that hour, said a bulletin issued by the Irish Self-determination league this forenoon, and during the morning was suffering severe pains in his arms and back. DUBLIN. Oct. 1 Charges that the reprisals in Ireland were a calculated policy of the government, that the occasion for them was often afforded by the provocation of agents, and that aplot exists for the assassination of the Irish republican leaders were made today by Arthur Griffith, founder of the Sinn Fein organization.

Her First Vote

One of the women of Woodbridge, N. J., who cast their first votes in the recent primaries, was Mrs. James Randolph, who will celebrate her one hundredth birthday next May. "One is never too old to begin," she said, as she left the booth. "I won't say learn because I always have known how and was waiting confidently for the opportunity." is not a new one, Mr. Valentine could not patent it. It is regarded as a contribution of American science in the fight against German supremacy in optical field. Mr. Valentine in his boyhood days in Richmond made a camera and telescope. He is a grandson of John and Martha Valentino, pioneer residents of Richmond. The family came to Wayne county 100 years ago. He was educated in the public schools of the city and learned the pattern maker's trade in the old Gaar Scott plant. Members of the Valentine family have been connected with Earlham college for many years. The old homestead is in Spring Grove. $55,087 SUBSCRIBED IN EARLHAM CAMPAIGN Workers in the Earlham endowment campaign were urged to return to the work after the luncheon in the Grace M.

INDUSTRIAL REHABILITATION IN STATE TO BE UNDER WAY SOON, SAYS M'COMB

"Industrial rehabilitation is being undertaken by the federal and state governments and will be actively established in Indiana during the coming winter," H. G. McComb, assistant state director of vocational education, said today. He was here on official business. "Industrial rehabilitation is to be carried out on the same plan as that started by the government for soldiers injured in the war. Employes who are injured in factories or othpr -laces of work will not be thrown on the people of the state as a total charge. Arrangements for taking care of these partially Incapacitated individuals is being made in the public schools of the state. They will be taught trades which they have the faculties to perform," he stated. "Full working machinery for. this has not been started in this stat-3 ret. The federal bill for this work was passed on June 5th and the special

RELLER POINTS TO INEFFICIENCY OF GAS PLANT EQUIPMENT IN FIRST GOLD SNAP

"When the hearing of the Light, Heat and Power company for increased property valuation, is heard before the Indiana public service commission, on Oct. 12," said City Attorney Reller. Friday, "the city is going to point out that at the very first cold spell of the reason, the local gas company failed to furnish an adequate supply, despite their efficient equipment." This statement was made following an inquiry about what the city proposed to do about the gas question. "I cannot understand." said Mr. Reller, "why the local company seems so anxious to have the gas rate at Dayton, Ohio raised. It is said that with the increase of rates in Dayton, the people will be more conservative COLD SNAP CATCHES GAS COMPANY WITH RESERVE CUT DOWN "Shortage of gas is largely due to the unexpected arrival of cold weatfcei catching the local company without a reserve supply in the holder, and the industrial consumer still using a large amount for manufacturing purposes," said Nimrod Johnson, super intendent of the Light, Heat & Power company, Friday. "Although it is only a question of a short time until the natural gas supply will be exhausted, nevertheless, wo could have met the present emergency if the holder hud been full." Mr. John son added. "Every fall we cork the holder in an effort to find leaks. This fall found us corking the crown of our holder, and consequently without a reserve. It is also unsual for such a heavy demand this early in the fall. Last year we were not pressed for gas until Dec. 12." When Mr. Johnson was asked about the production of artificial gas. he said: "Just as soon as the city of Richmond orders us to furnish an artificial ' supply, and fixes a rate, we wfll start manufacturing it. Wo car with our present equipment, manufacture 75 per cent more artificial gas than the city can use. It is up to the city to tell us when to begin." Install New Equipment. During the last months the Light, Heat and Power company has instated new boilers and a new boiler building at a cost of $35,000 to $40,000. In addition, all of the equipment has been thoroughly overhauled, and according to Mr. Johnson, manufacture of artificial gas can be begun upon very short notice. "The rate for manufactured gas will be very high," said Mr. Johnson. "It is not unlikely that the rate will be near $2 per thousand. The gas oil that is used in its manufacture is extremely" high, and all forms of labor have increased." Richmond housewives found that it took patience to prepare meals Thursday and Friday. Although the company opened wide all the regulators, the gas pressure decreased to one third of an ounce at noon and in the evening. The normal pressure is about two ounces Housewives Worried -.!.,, wnnderinz how they were niHni- hnmhnrded the cas otllce wltn inquiries concerning the possible bettering of conditions. A proprietor of a local restaurant, talking to Mr. Johnson, Friday, said that he was hard-put to keep going. This condition was keenly felt by. all restaurant men. Mr. Johnson said that If the weather turns colder than at present, the natural gas supply would be better, as people would stop depending upon gas for heat, and start their coal stoves and furnaces. Industrial users draw very heavily upon the gas supply, but they are denied gas for manufacturing purposes when necessity warrants. Jenkins Vulcan Springs company announced Friday that they had shifted to burning oil, Friday morning. They use gas only during the summer months. A telephone Inquiry by Mr. Johnson, of the gas situation in Dayton, Thursday evening, brought out that Daytonview, a suburb, had been without gas since 4 p. m. Thursday. Mr. Johnson said that the situation in Muncle was even more critical. County W. C T. U. Elects Officers for New Year At the Wayne county convention of the W. C. T. U. held at the West Richmond community house Thursday, Mrs. Sophia is. huh, or fountain Jity, was elected president and Mrs. Mary Austin, of Richmond, vice president.

Brown, assistant pastor of the East Main Friends church, was particularly good. session of the Indiana legislature acted favorably on it the latter part of June. The work of establishing the courses in the state ha3 been turned over to the vocational directors of tho state board of education." Mr. McComb praised the work of the part time system which allows children between the ages of 14 and 16 years to work and attend schcol also. He stated that this was started in Indiana in 1918 with 500 enrolled in the state. In 1919 there were 3,000 and in 1920 it is estimated that hem are more than 4,000. Mr. McComb was formerly director of vocational education in the Richmond high school. He accepted . a position with the state board this year. He has charge of the promotion and supervision of forty schools over the state in an advisory capacity for the state board. He was in Rich mond Friday looking over the local vocational department here.

with their supply, thereby giving Richmond a larger flow, as both Richmond and Dayton get gas from the same company. "In my opinion, if the rates are raised in Dayton, we will get less; for why should an effort be made to get gas to us when the same price will be paid at Dayton?" He said that Benjamin Perk, the city expert accountant, will be in Richmond in advance of the gas hearing on Oct 12. and will analyze the gas companies statements, in an effort to see if the company is getting a proper rate. The company is entitled to 7 per cent net on the total valuation of

; the plant and equipment used in fur- ! r.ishing gas to Richmond.

DEPARTMENT OF WELFARE, HARDING IDEA Creation of Federal Department for Promotion of Social Justice Proposed by Republican Nominee. HE STRIKESllT ALONE

MARION, Ohio. Oct. 1. Creation of a federal department of public welfare for the promotion of social justice was proposed here today by Senator Watren . Harding, addressing women gath-: ' ered at the home of the Republican presidential candidate, for "Social Jus tice and Women's Day." "There can be no more efficient way of advancing a humanitarian program," Senator Harding said, "than by ' adapting the machinery of our federal government to the purposes we desie to attain." Characterizing enforcement or w as a paramount measure of social justice, Senator Harding said: -We must all condemn without qualification the failure of enforcement of prohibition, just as we must all condemn the failure of established authority to prevent outrages of violence, such as lynching." Senator Harding took social justice for the theme of his address. "When making the proposal for a department of public welfare of America." he said. ' "I am aware that I have made a step in advance of any platform, so I hav? chosen to speak to you on the practical question the question of how to do the tasks we must do. the things American conscience is calling to have " done." Many Problems Ahead. Welfare of the women and children of the nation would dominate the first . . interests of the n6w" federal department advocated by Senator Harding. The scope of its interests, he said, would include equal pay tor equa . work by women, the eight hour day for .women, fostering of appointment of women to :vsitions on federal and state boards of employment, labor adjustment, etc.. where women were concerned, and normal labor fur women on the farms. Regarding industrial workers, both men and women. Senator Harding said ne believed the government could assist in abolishing unsteady employment. The unrest , arising f; ;m ( this source, he said, Is "not a condition to : be remedied alone by federal empItfJH ment bureaus, filling in the gaps 'of , unemployment. Dut rests largely upon -conditions of industry which make Jor seasonal production and periodic closing and opening of industrial plants and occupations. I am enough 1 of an optimist to believe that govern-' ment can assist in the abolition of this most unfortunate condition." Senator Harding added that he evt n thought that, the government could.,, "take a large part in the second, an,l perhaps, even more important cam-' paign" to make hibhly specialize-, mechanical labor interesting. Ua viewed it as "our duty as p. whole -. people to see if we cannot makejevery job in the country a small business of its own." Many Activities.. -.. ' Among activities coming under such. ; a new federal department. Senator Harding named the children's bureau and the Various health agencies of thffederal government. The work of thR children's bu'eau, Senator Harding said, "must oe extended and made still more - eatable of educating and assisting in pre-natal care and early infancy." , Next to maternity and childhood, he said he believed attention must be centered upon the public health. "While "alert to the dangers of tpo much oppressive bureaucracy in any great federal health bureau," he declared he wanted to see the "various 'agencies grouped together in a department of public welfare," for the promotion of "the most active and sufficient cam-, paign against low standards of physical well-being." .- In advancing his proposal of a new federal department. Senator Hardin said: "Our primary consideration must be the machinery of administrative government, and when the time comes for us to reorganize -our adminstratloo in Washington, we must all stand'together for the creation of a department of public welfare. ' "Wasting Energy." "It is almost useless for us to go on expending our energies In advancing humanitarian policies which we wish put into effect, and it is useless -for us to hope for the effective adrainie-' tration of .humanitarian .'policies already undertaken by the federal government, until we have prepared to create an administrative center tor the application of -our program. "At the present time we find social welfare ' bureaus and social welfare undertakings scattered hopelessly through the departments,' sometimes the one -overlapping the work of the other, and sometimes, ieed, engagt ing in bickerings betwe7. themselves. The picture is one of inefficiency and of wasted funds." - , Against paternalism Senator Hard-. ing struck vigorous warning. "In creating federal departments for the administration of social justice and fecial welfare, we must avoid the fearful ' results of bureaucracy," he said. Loiterer Furnishes Clue To Explosion Mystery NEW YORK, Oct. 1. A man giving the name of Joshua Greenspan, who was arrested early today for loitering in a Brooklyn building told the police that' he knew the identity f personsresponsible for the Wall street explosion. Greenspan was sent to a hospital for observation while members of the bomb squad and agents of the department of justice began checking
