WHEELER, HAGERSTOWN AUTO DEALER CHARGED WITH MANSLAUGHTER NEWCASTLE, Ind.. Sept. 27. Thomaa Wheeler, Jr., automobile salesman at Hagerstown, formerly of Cambridge City, and son of Thomas I Wheeler, Sri, a Henry county farmer, submitted to arrest by Sheriff Ralph Yost Monday on a grand Jury indictment, charging him with manslaughter. The charge -was returned by the grand Jury rs the result of the death of Tilman Williams, well-known Henry county farmer. In a collision on the Hagerstown road out of Newcastle, on Aug. 24. Williams died almost instantly after the crash and his nephew Francis Davis, age 14, was seriously but not fatally injured. Excessive Speed Charged. Wheeler, it is charged in the grand Jury indictment was "carelessly, recklessly, wantonly, unlawfully, and feloniously driving his car at a rate of . speed in excess of 25 miles per hour" at the time the crash occurred. The specific charge Is "manslaughter, involuntary." Wheeler was accompanied to the sheriff's office by his father, who owns a farm In Henry county, near the Wayne county line, on the National road. He gave bond in the sum of $2,500 and was permitted to go free. Body Not Examined Coroner Flavius J. Drake of Knightstown, if placed on the witness stand i in a trial of the manslaughter charge, will be unable to state with certainty the cause of Williams' death. It is said. Neither physicians or coroner, it seems, examined the body of the deceased despite the fact that the coroner held an inquest and returned a verdict. The cause of Williams' death is now believed to have been due to heart failure, superinduced by the shock, both physical and mental, of the headon collision. The version given of the collision at the time it occurred, was that Williams was driving up behind a large farm wagon, loaded with crates. Wheeler, it was said at that time, was coming from the other direction and' the two drivers were unable to see each other because of the wagon. In the testimony before the grand Jury of two witnesses, it is now stated that the wagon was some distance ahead of Williams' car and for that reason if both drivers had been going at a reasonable rate of speed they would have seen each other. Wheeler is connected with an automobile agency at Hagerstown and is married. He formerly sold cars at Cambridge City. MILLIONS OF PENCILS USED YEARLY; CORDS OF WOOD CONSUMED (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Sept 27. Where do all the lead pencils come from and where do they go? Although almost everybody has one, many folks never buy one, but even so. more than 750,000,000 are manufactured for use In the United States every year, using up many thousands of cords of wood. But woods suitable for lead pencils are becoming scarcer and many manufacturers are turning to paper. Red Cedar and Red Juniper, says the American Forestry association, are the woods chiefly used in making lead pencils. A hunt is on for other kinds of wood that will take the place of these. In East Africa a kind of cedar has been found with which experiments are being made. The production in the United States is about 80,000 cases of pencil slats per year. From each case 100 gross of pencils is made. This results in about one billion pencils of American grown cedar. Since one-fourth of this number is sent to foreign countries that leaves 750,000,000 pencils for the home market, which means an average of seven pencils per person figuring on the last census. Always Needed Marker As far back as history goes man has tried to make things to mark with and to 6et down his thoughts. The Aztecs and the Pharaohs had crude marking devices. As early as 1750 Kalra, a Swedish naturalist, made experiments with American cedar. In 1812 William Monroe made 500 pencils at Concord and sold them in Boston but the war stopped his plans. In 1861 Eberhard Faber began making pencils on a large scale in this country. The graphite which makes the mark is of course the important part In the manufacture of the pencil. Ceylon has furnished much of the graphite used in this country. Graphite Js also found in Madagascar and In Mexico. Czechoslovakia contains deposits of both the amphorous and crystaline graphite. In the United States the chief deposits are in Alabama, New York and Pennsylvania. New Richmond Directory Will Be Given Oat Soon The 1921 Richmond City directory is off the press, and general distribution will start Oct, 1. The new volume although similar to the old in general design is more compact. An interesting department is that containing statistical facts about Richmond. Various claims of the 'Star City of the Middle West" to distinction are advanced in this part of the book. The new volume will be found more complete in several respects than its predecessor. ANDERSON KIWANIS CLUB DESIRES STATE MEETING ANDERSON. Ind., Sept. 27. The Anderson Klwanis club yesterday decided to send a delegation of 100 members and their wives to the state Kiwanis convention at Kokomo Thursday and to bid for the 1922 state meeting. The high school drum corps will be taken along to make noise for the local club members.

Holmes was gray with anger and mortification. ! "Wait a litle," he said. "You go too fast. We should certainly make every effort to avoid scandal in so delicate a matter." Milverton relapsed into his chair. "I was sure that you would see it in that light," he purred. "At the same time," Holmes continued. "Lady Eva is not a wealthy woman. I assure you that two thou sand pounds would be a drain upon her resources, and that the sum you name is utterly beyond her power. I beg, therefore, that you will moderate your demands and that you will return the letters at the price I indicate, which is, I assure you, the highest that you can get." Milverton's smile broadened and his eyes twinkled humorously. "I am aware that what you say is true about the lady's resources," said he. "At the same time you must admit that the occasion of a lady's marriage is a very suitable time for her friends and relatives to make some little effort upon her behalf. They may hesitate as to an acceptable wedding present. Let me assure them that this little bundle of letters would give more joy than all the candelabra and butterdishes in London." "It is impossible," said Holmes. "Dear me, dear me, how unfortun ate!" cried Milverton. "I cannot help

thinking that ladies are ill-advised in and vanished into the night. I undernot makine an effort. Look at this!" I stood that he had opened his campaign

He held up a little note with a coat-of-! arms upon the envelope. "That -be longs to well, perhaps It is hardly fair to tell the name until tomorrow morn ing. But at that time It will do in the hands of the lady's husband. And all because she will not find a beggarly sum which she could get by turning her diamonds into paste. It is such a pity! Now, you remember the sudden end of the engagement between the Honorable Miss Miles and Colonel Dorking? Only two days before the wedding, there was a paragraph in the Morning Post to say that it was all off. And why? It is almost incredible, but the absurd sum of twelve hundred pounds would have settled the whole question. Is it not pitiful? And here I find you, a man of sense, boggling about terms, when your client's future and honor are at stake. You surprise me, Mr. Holmes. "What I say is true," Holmes answered. "The money cannot be found. Surely it is better for you to take the substantial sum which I offer than to ruin this woman's career, which can profit you in no way?" "There you make a mistake, Mr. Holmes. An exposure would profit me indirectly to a considerable extent. I have eight or ten similar cases maturing. If it was calculated among them that I had made a severe example of the Lady Eva, I should find all of them much more open to reason. You see my point?" Holmes sprang from his chair. "Get behind him, Watson! Don't let him out! Now, sir, let us see the contents of that note-book." Milverton had glided as quick as a rat to the side of the room, and stood with his back against the wall. "Mr. Holmes, Mr. Holmes," he said, turning the front of his coat and ex hibiting the butt of a large revolver, which projected from the inside

pocket. "I have been expecting you to do something original. This has been done so often, and what good has ever come from it? I assure you that I am armed to the teeth, and I am perfectly prepared to use my weapons, knowing that the law will support me. Besides your supposition that I would bring the letters here in a note-book is entirely mistaken. I would do nothing so foolish. And now, gentlemen, I have one or two little interviews this evening, and it is a long drive to Hampstead." He stepped forward, took up his coat, laid his hand on his revolver, and turned to the door. I picked up a chair, but Holmes shook his head, and I laid it down again, With, a bow, a smile and a twinkle, Milverton was out of the room, and a few moments after we heard the slam of the carriage door and the rattle of the wheels as he drove away. 1 Holmes sat motionless by the fire, his hands buried deep in his trouser pockets, his chin sunk upon his breat, his eyes fixed upon the glowing embers. For half an hour he was silent and still. Then, with the gesture of a man who has taken his decision, he sprank to his feet and passed into his bedroom. A little later a rakish young workman, with a goatee beard and a swagger, lit his clay pipe at the lamp before descending into the street. "I'll be back some time, Watson," said he. against Charles Augustus Milveron, but I little dreamed the strange shape which that campaign was destined to take. For some days Holmes came and went at all hours in -this attire, but beyond a remark that his time was spent at Hampstead, and that not wasted, I knew nothing was doing. At last, however, tempestuous evening, when the wind screamed and rattled against the win - dows, he returned from his last expedition, and having removed his disguise he sat before the fire and laughed heartily in his silent inward fashion. "You would not call me a marrying man, Watson?" "No, indeed!" "You'll be interested to hear that I'm engaged." "My dear fellow! I congrat " "To Milverton's housemaid." "Good Heavens, Holmes!" "I wanted information, Watson." "Surely you have gone too far?" "It was a most necessary step. I am a plumber with a rising business. Escott by name. have walked out and talked with her. Good Heavens, those talks! However. I have got all I wanted. I know Milverton's house as I know the palm of my hand." "But the girl. Holmes?" He shrugged his shoulders. "You can't help it, my dear Watson. You must play your card3 as best you can when such a stake is on the table. However, I rejoice to say that T have a hatred rival, who will certain ly cut me out the instant that my back ! is turned. What a splendid night it is!" "You like this weather?" "It suits my purpose.

PROFIT SHOWN (Continued from Page One.) for as a result of the labor accomplished, cement walks have been laid; buildings moved and improved; wells drilled; a pumping system completed; and numerous other tasks consum-1 mated which have added to the value i of the property. It would then follow that a very considerable portion of the labor expense has not been an expense, but an investment. Labor is Constructive. In other words, a certain percentage of labor costs charged in the county report to operating expenses, is properly chargeable to the new buildings, etc., which would make the farm show a greater profit than was shown in the published report. It is also pointed out that if the county had not spent the amounts it did in improving the farm for hospital purposes, the net gain from July, 1917 to Sept. 1, 1921, would have been even larger than the gain of $2,613 54 .showed under the re-classification of expenditures. The new report shows in exhibit "A," the recapitulation of total expenditures by years. Exhibit "B", gives a statement of the operating receipts and expenses of the farm. Operating receipts during the period in which the county has had the management of the farm, total $26,010.23. To this amount is added the inventory taken Sept. 1. 1921, to determine the grand total of receipts. The inventory was taken by W. O. Seaney, county commissioner, and Mr. Haworth, the accountant, and totals $7,132.00. Combined, the total receipts and inventory total $33,142.23. Net Gain Explained When the total operating expenses for the period in question, $30,142.00. and depreciation on implements and tools, harness and fence. $386.69. are ; deducted from the $33,142.23. the net ; gain of $.",613.54 is attained j sales total $696.1a more than the farm 1 expenses. Sales for that period have j amounted to $4,096.80, while expenses total 13,400.65. Sales during 191S totaled $4,923.24; during 1919. $11,6S5.66; during 1920, $5,204.53.. These amounts, "added to the sales thus far in 1921, make a grand total of $26,010.23. Farm expenses during the same years totaled $22,639.95. They are listed as follows: , 1918.

EXACT BEPLICA OF ATHENIAN PARTHENON WILL BE ERECTED IN NASHVILLE BY 1922, IS PLAN

(By Associated Press) NASHVILLE, Tenn.. Sept. 27. Within a year the United States will have the only exact-to-the-inch repro-j duction of the Athenian Farthenon.j the so-called Parthenon at Regensburg being merely an adptation of the great temple. That masterpiece at Athens, conceived and built by Phidias, the sculptor, .Ictinus, the architect, and Pericles, the statesman, is being reconstructed here in a more enduring form than was the original. When Tennessee's centennial was celebrated by an International Exposition 24 years ago, the directors of the fete built in temporary form a replica of the Parthenon. It was used .to house the art exhibit of that exposition. Nashville people considered it a partial gratification to their ambition to make their city as the "Athens of the South." Structure Was Pleasing This temporary structure, erected hastily and with a compartively small amount of money, left much to be desired in the execution of the delicate ornamentation and the great number of statues which had to be reconstructed from the inadequate draw ings then in existence. Yet, the general effect of the cream-colored staff structure with brilliant colors in the frieze and gables so overshadowed all the other buildings that when the exposition was over the people de manded its preservation, and it became a shrine to the residents and visitors of Nashville. . . Three years ago disintegration had progressed to such an extent that the building had to be closed It was finally decided to erect a per-1 manent replica of the Athenian temple, using the method known as the "Mosaic surface" concrete, developed by John Early, of Washington, D. C, who was entrusted with that part of the work. Colors Was Problem There still remained the question of the red background of the metopes and gables, the blue of the triglyps as agreed upon by the majority of authorities on Greek architecture. To merely apply pigments to the surface of these cement casts would have in volved the same periodical expense of renewing the colors as it would have Americas foremost cigar

on marble, which it had been decided not to use. , About that time George Julian Zolnay. sculptor, was making experiments in the production of a durable material other than the costly stone and bronze, realizing that not until the sculptor's work can be successfully reproduced in less expensive yet, durable materials will sculpture become a truly democratic art. Zolnay Finds Solution. He secured a synthetic stone, which not only "poured" but could be made of any color. Zolnay was commissioned by the Nashville Park board to reconstruct that figure of the great temple and then to reproduce them in this artificial stone. Whether the original Parthenon had an open roof or whether there was some structural arrangement with side lights masked by the cornice has never been determined. The Nashville Parthenon will have a flat skylight following the slope of the roof and so arranged as to obtain the best possible light within, where an art museum will be located eventually. Probably the exterior of the building will be completed by the autumn of 1922. Erected in Centennial park the Parthenon of the New World will afford to Americans an opportunity of viewing in exact replica at one place what would require months of travel to find
