THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND., TUESDAY, MAY 2, 1922.

COUNCIL POSTPONES DECISION ON PLAN OF DAYLIGHT SAVING

Decision as tcwhethtr or not Richmond will adopt the daylight saving plan was laid over until next meeting of the council when the matter was brought up by Councilman Joseph M. Waltermann Monday evening. Waltermann made a speech favoring the plan. About 1800 names were on the petition which. asked that the plan be put into effect, he claimed. Walter

mann said: "This plan affords the working people a chance to stroll ! around in God's sunlight. It is a god- j send to the poor girls who are shut up in stores and factories breathing the dust and dirt through the day. "Everyone knows that sunlight is better than night air. Some of the factory men oppose it but they fail to consider the frail factory girl." Councilman John E. White rose to his feet. "How about the poor mother and wife who has not been taken into consideration?" he snapped. "She gets up an hour earlier to get breakfast while the girl is in bed." "There is no use discussing this matter now," interrupted Mayor Handley. "The time lor that is when the ordinance comes up. Benn and White voted against turning the matter over to an ordinance committee. Reconsider City Planning The surprise of the evening came when Councilman Louis E. Fahlsing introduced a resolution to reconsider the city planning commission matter which was turned down a few months ' ago. The resolution was passed, Councilmen Benn and White voting against it. "This matter was acted upon in a

hurry, and I would like to see it re

considered," said Fahlsing.

The ordinance committee will bring

up the ordinance again at next council meeting.

AMAZING STORY OF FLAMING LIGHT IN SKY NEAR HAGERSTOWil CONTAINED IN DOCUMENT

Mrs. Carmen de Pinillea. i . , - , ' Mrs. Carmen de Penilles, a distinguished Peruvian new resident in this country, is full of enthusiasm for North America and its women. The chief advantage of living in America according to 'Mrs. de Penilles is that women are able to work.

An amazing story of a flaming light in the Bky near Hagerstown,. appearing before a generation that has for the most part disappeared from the earth, is contained in a document owned by W. O. Jones, of Hagerstown, county superintendent of high ways. The apparition inspired the utmost terror while it lasted, according to the Btory of the event as told by Lorenzo

Dow Fox, several years ago, and writ

denhall's house stood at one end of

the Logan Deadening, and since that

night has been the scene of a bloody crime that startled the entire state of

"The ordinance committee has that under consideration now," said Joe

Waltermann.

On recommendation of the ordinance committee the theatre ordinance

Jones, a granddaughter of Mr. Fox,

who is keeping it at her home at present. The narrative follows: "There has never yet appeared . in print a story that, dealing with absolute facts, has told of events of such an incredible nature as the amazing phenomenon of the sky that occurred in the year 1843. "It was seen by a party of 20 hunters in Eastern Indiana in the county of Wayne in startling figures, burning upon the sky. A Fox Told Story. "Of the 20 who witnessed the strange and awe inspiring scene, L. D.

pany was suddenly brought to his feet

by an apparition strange and lnex

plicable that not only caused every eye to be riveted on a single spot in the heavens and every face to blanch with fear, but every limb and muscle of the spectators was made to tremble

violently, so awful was the sight that

held them spellbound. Stream of Fire Not far from the assembled crowd, and off a little to the northwest, there suddenly flashed upon the sky a broad, upright stream of fire, this band of fire shot so suddenly before their gaze, appeared in the darkness to be many inches wide and many feet long. The flaming line was so intensely

bright that the surrounding country

have a high-powered car in which to

tiursue bandits finally was settled Monday evening when council passed an appropriation of $1,700, to be taken from the miscellaneous fund and transferred io the police fund for the purchase of a car. The police department first asked for two lower-priced cars and revolvers and ammunition. The other car and the matter of ordnance for policemen have been laid on the table. . East Side High School Proposal to build a new East Side junior high school at a cost of $240,000 was made in a report submitted to council by the school board. The report was unanimously accepted. "This is merely one step in a con

structive program which the school board started over two years ago," Ha id Mayor Handley after the meeting. "The board presented a plan of work at that time which would provide for a junior high school building in each part of the city. ' The first of these, the David Worth Dennis high school, has been erected. This is the second step." Charles Jordan explained that as soon as the East Side building i3 erected, enough room will be available in the schools to allow repair of the other buildings in the city, one at a time. "The increase in school population is coming faster than the increase in city population," he said. Estimated cost of the new building was set in the report at $240,000.

Plans were to pay for the school by :i bond issue which would be retired atj the rate of $40,000 per year. ; The location of the school is to be! in the block bounded by South Twen-j ty-second. South Twenty-third andj South B streets. I Bridge Repairs. I Reid Memorial hospital asked that!

The matter had been referred to council from the board of works. The ordinance committee was una) le to determine whether or not cement blocks were fit for chimney construction because of lack of information, it stated in its report Monday evening. No change was made in the building code. Sam S. Vigran and Albert Morel were reappointed, and Mrs. George Rohe was appointed to succeed Mayor Handley on the public morals committee. D. C. Hess, superintendent of the light plant, explained to councilmen, at an informal session held after the regular meeting, the plans of the city plant for placing lights in eath ward. Results of a survey of the city lighting system were set before the councilmen for their approval.

the strange story, and when he relates it, as he often does, he shudders as

he recalls the awful night. "Mr. Fox vouches for the truthfulness of the following story of the apparition in the sky. The party was composed of neighbors ranging in age from 18 to 45 years. The assembling of these neighbors on that particular night was occasioned by a widespread alarm over that section of the county, resulting from a series of blood curdling screams, seemingly half-animal.

half-human, piercing the forest and fields for miles around. The frightful screams appeared to issue from the depts of "Logan's Deadening." General Alarm " 'The Logan Deadening was a

wide stretch of land, heavily timbered, with great specimens of our forests

that had been 'deadened' but still re

mained standing, forming, with its

jungle-like undergrowth, a fit habita

tion for wild beasts.

"The general alarm that had spread

over the section had become so in

tense that the citizens were notified to meet on this particular night, at a gjven point, to institute a search and capture, if possible, the animal that with mad screams kept the populace in a state of consternation. "They came together, men of iron moods, and youths stalwart and brawny, each filled with anticipation of dangerous encounter with some ferocious beast or beasts, fully determined to rid the 'deadenin' " of its

terrorizing inhabitants. "The, squad broke up into parties of four and began to scour the area supposed to be infested. Strange Apparition "After a search of several hours, which lasted until nearly midnight, in the lonely deadening, they met by

Senator Robert La Foliette of Wisconsin in discussing his resolution of inquiry regarding the leasing of the naval oil reserve at Teapot , Dome, Wyo., made veiled charges that advance information given to speculators cn the New York Stock Exchange netted Wall Street speculators $30,000,000.,

thought to be the haunts of wild beasts and not knowing at what moment they might meet with savage foes, were completely unnerved. "The sight was sufficient in their strained mental and physical condi

tion to paralyze their every nerve and muscle bring experiences detailed further on. "Speechless they stood, gazing with consternation upon the strange apparition. Hardly had they recovered from the amazement and horror that confound the faculties and incapacitates for consideration and begun conjecturing as to the cause of the vision when they were again suddenly dumbfounded at the change of the awful scene. A hush that was painful in its intensity took possession of the entire surroundings as a portion of the line or band of flame former into the present was again riveted to the scene, figure 8, and the vision of every one . Shriek With Fear

"The extreme mental tension that had held the group a second time had commenced to relax when another change made them shriek with agonizing fear, another movement of a

portion of this phenomenon of fire,

ana graauauy ine ngures appeared, in burning characters. "This completed the panorama, the fire gradually growing less intense, though a strange dull light remained until the rays of the sun drove away

the darkness the next morning. No more searching for wild animals was don3 by the party that night. "Every witness was impressed with 1

the; belief that some immediate catastrophe would befall him. Strong men wept, some knelt on the ground and with agonizing cries beseeched Providence to spare them from impending evil. As the figures faded away, the party gradually resumed its normal mental status and began to exchange opinions as to the origin and meaning of the spectacle. Wat Omen, Belief. White they could not arrive at a positive verdict as to the cause of the strange phenomenon nor as to its mission, all were of the opinion that an omen, indicative of some awful calamity had been revealed to them. They were firm in; the belief that the date, 1861, had been presented in token of some- great event that would OCCUr at that time and thnan nf the
