FIVE YEARS MEETING TO HELP EACH YEARLY IJJPJ Final session of the executive committee of (he Five Year meeting of Friends was held in the South Eighth Street Friends' church Thursday night. The rommitee finished the work of two days which consisted of a general business session on all the n;tivities of the Five Years meeting. The fact, that the yearly meetings had failed in their efforts to bring about a successful campaign for the budgets, brought up a discussion which resulted in th" authorizing of the offices of the Five Years meeting to assist in yearly meetings in pushing their financial campaigns and thp committee also authorized that a worker should be put into the field to push each campaign of the various early meetings. In place of fixing a definite budget, the pian was adopted to use a solfapportionate plan. This would take the nerds of the various boards to the yearly meeting and ask them to assume the responsibility. A suggestion was made that there be a meeting of th various boards jointly before the yearly meeting. This suggestion met the approval of the members. Submit Recommendation T!ie committee of investigation which visited Nebraska Central college made a report r commending that the :l!ego should work with the Nebraska yearly meeting, also that it be considered on the basis of a home enterprise and be supported by the Home Mission board. This reconimen dation was approved. A provision for the designation of foreign interest in mission work was made fin- the future-. The committee al.-o provid-d for funds necessary. A vacancy occurred on the Young Friends board. Ethel Hawkins Yv'a'l, of Wilti. inRton yearly meeting, resigned and Ruth Haskins, of Indianapolis, was appointed to fill her place.

RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

NEED SUPERIOR COURT IN WAYNE, DECLARES PROSECUTOR BECKETT "V need a superior court," said Prosecuting Attorney Haul A. Reckett, commenting on the fact that for the first time in history three juries had been operating at once in the Wayne county court houe. The three juries which were in session Thursday afternoon were the grand jury and two petit juries, one in the case of Virginia Peters against Joseph Stolle, suit for damages, and one for the suit of Mary Twehus against Edward C. Steins, suit for damages. Evidence was taken in 'he latter case all day Friday. The Peters case was decided Thursday evening-. Judge W. A. Bond, questioned as to the need of a superior court for this county, expressed the opinion that the overloaded condition of the docket was due to the large number of suits filed in connection with the failure of the Farmers' bank at Milton. "We will have this cleared up soon," he said. "A superior court would be an additional expense to the county and state, and is not. warranted by the amount of work which it would receive. Act Was Repealed. A superior court, should it be established, would have to be ordered by an act of the legislature. Such an act was passed March 10, 1S77. and a superior court was in existence here until April 15, 1S79. The art was repealed at that time. Judge W. A Bickell served temporarily on this; bench, and was later replaced by 11. C. Fox. Circuit Court SUIT IS DISMISSED The suit of Herman Clark against the town of Cambridge City for $150 damages was dismissed at the cost of the plaintiff Friday. OAKLEY CASE DEFERRED The case of Ralph Oakley, set Tor hearing Saturday, on a charge of robbery, has been deferred until next week to allow his attorneys to gather some data from government hospitals, it was announced Friday. Oakley will change his plea at the time the information is presented to the court, it was said. Oakley had pleaded not guilty, at the hearing held early this week, in order to obtain a hearing. His attorneys had at that lime had no opportunity to obtain this information, and his idea of not guilty was made in order to gain this time.
