Jefferson hlvd., to the Oliver block on X. Main st. No plans have been announced by the board as yet, for tilling Miss, Makielski's position. Meside considering the resignation, only the usual business was transacted. The nurse's report showed l'JS visits made during the month of September and that there was less sickness in the city during September than during August. Members of the board expressed regret at Miss Makielski's decision to uo into other work, as her efforts for the association and its arduous work have been most ellieient. SOLON D. RIDER HEADS GENERAL COMMITTEE Solon 1. Kider is to be general chairman of the committee in charge of the movement for enlarging the facilities of the Chamber of Commerce.

"In taking up this part of the work." said Mr. Rider, "I hope that the public will understand my willingness to assume this great responsibility only because of my desire to do everything that I can toward the success of this movement. "I realize the important place which the Chamber of Commerce will take in the life of South Mend from this time forward. I know full well the part which this present movement will play in the future success of the Chamber. It is therefore with trepidation that I take up my part of the work. . With the backing, however, of the men who lead in thought and action upon all matters affecting the welfare of South Mend, this movement during the next two weeks can predicate great achievements for the futare.

A " - - -i r Husband of Alleged Forger o reates Stir in Court by Udging Judge to Start Trial. Considerable stir was created in the circuit court room Tuesday riornlng when Joseph Sharpless, who with his wife. Abbie Sharpless. were indicted by the grand jury for forgery, demanded that his case be tried at once. Judge Thomas Slick was on the bench and asked Sharpless if he had an attorney to takt his case. "Mr. Slick, 1 want to get this case settled today,'' declared Sharpless. "It is killing my wife and I want to get it fixed up. You can cut out some of the technical points and we can settle it right now." "Have you an attorney or can you afford one," asked the judge. "No, we can't get a lawyer. I want you to let me defend our case," c on-J tinned Sharpless excitedly as a titter J spread over th court room. With the consent of both Mr. and Mrs. Sharpless the county poor attorney, J. rimer Peak, was appointed by the court to take care of their case but still Sharpless insisted on going to trial at once. The case? was continued and will be set later, although Sharpless stayed in the court room until court had adjourned when he urged Judge Slick to dispose of the matter at once. Ho stated that he was compelled to stay away from his work. It was necessary for the court bailiff to almost force him from the court room.

'- rJUDGE SHOWS LIENENCY TOWARD YOUNG BURGLAR William Tagn, Who Was Shot at Crumstown, (liven Six Months Su-iH'iuled Sentence. Stating that he believed th? young) man had undergone enough punishment. Judge Thomas W. Slick suspended a six months' sentence and a lino of J10 and costs when William Faga, charged with entering a house in Crumstown recently, appeared in cicruit court and pleaded Ruilty. Faga was shot in the face and neck while escaping from the house and was later captured at Ft. Wayne, The prisoner stated that h3 is the son of a member of the Chicago board of trade and that he had gone into j the house to get something to eat. ins appearance and actions led the prosecutor and judge to believe that he should bo given another chance and he was allowed to go under a suspended sentence. The young man alleged that this is the llrst time that he had ever gotten into trouble and that the only reason he entered the house at Crumstown was to get something to eat as he was hungry and without funds. His wounds were dressed in Ft. Wayne and proved very painful. This fact also led to leniency on the part of the court. Amelia Weintraub was grinted a divorce from William J.
