Will Urport t ieneral Agents at .Meeting Soon to Consider Uoutin Trains Tliiouuh City.

C. I. r.rown of Louisville, Ky is in South Bond investigating the proposed change) in the routine of the Big Four trains operating between St. Louis and Benton Harbor by way of Indianapolis and Elkhart, so that the road will strike this city. Mr. Brown asserted that the change seems feasibb', although his investigation has not been completed. He will report to II. J. Ithein anil (George Krause, jr., general agent and assistant general freight agent, respectively, when they come to this city in two weeks. The. matter will be given a hearing probably in the Chamber of 'ommerce rooms. Mr. Brown hopes to gather all the data available before that time. The matter of operating the road from a financial standpoint will be the chief rcasn iven by the officials for not making the change, should they consider the matter impractical, aceording to the belief of local men interested in the matter. It is thought that the change can be made without changing a single switch r laying any track. The change will make the road strike this city rather than the town of Granger, several miles north

east of here.

STUDENTS HEAR LECTURE ON EUROPEAN SITUATION

wing to economic conditions in South Bend and in the country in general as a result of the Kuropean war, the Visiting Nurse association has abandoned for this season its annual charity ball. The ball has always been a success financially and socially ami it is given up with regret but the board of directors of the association leels that all the money contributed should this year be applied directly to the relief work and not partially expended In the making of a successful social event The charity ball is an institution in most of the larger cities of the country and in many at them is this year being abandoned for the same reason as that given by the local organization. Mrs. D. M . I W eeks, president of the association, who has just returned from an extended visit in the east, says that throughout the east the movement is general on account of stringent conditions. If conditions

better, however,

again next year. The work of the

sociation since last year, however, has just doulik-tl and the fund usually ac.niirnM hv means of the ball will be

necessary to assist in carrying on the j work through the winter. Accord- i inuly a plan has been conceived by, which the members o the board of

directors of the associate n will ask of those who have consistently supported them by subscribing to the charity hall to contribute this year the price of at least one ticket, $- all of which will be applied directly to the work. Tho board feels confident of success. A committee composed of Mrs. It. II. Stogsdall, Mrs. C. A. Carlisle and .Mrs. Ceorge Mayr have been appointed by Mrs. Weeks to consider tho appointment of another head nurse to take the place of Miss Monica Makielski, who has resigned her position to go into business with her brothers in the Little Art Shop in its new quarters on X.

No announcement of the directors of the Morris planned bank will be made until the organization has been completed, according to a statement made Wednesday by S. D. Ilider, member of the organization committee, which has the plans for tho new company under consideration. Although a meeting was held in tho office of Anderson, Parker, Crabill and Crumpacker Wednesday morning by the committee and some of those interested in the enterprise, nothing

tangible resulted and no report on j the session was given out. ; It is probable that the bank will be! organized within the next few days as!

the work has been progressing steadily since Mr. Morris explained the proposition last Friday night. The company will be capitalized at $100,000 and will be divided into shares of $100 each, which can be purchased in seven monthly installments. This will enable the smaller investors to become stockholders in tho concern. Directors are being chosen from representative business men of South Bend and Mishawaka. The organization committee consists of the following men: Clement Studebaker, jr., Harry A. Engman, jr., Joseph WerwinskI, Samuel Parker, S I). Rider, G. W. Harrison and J. It. Haughton. Each of these men is connected with some leading institution or industry of tho city. The lirm of Anderson, Parker, Crabill and Crumpacker will act as counsel for the new bank. Mr. Rider stated that ho hoped to see the bank in operation during the tlrst week in November. A tentative home has already be negotiated for and will probably be selected within a day or two. It has been stated that on account of requests from many people interested in the first industrial bank of 5outh Bend and in order to distribute stock as much as possible, no single subscription will be received

for more than l'i shares. 'Relative to the possible

The approval of the assessment roll of tho Mishawaka av. trunk sewer was accomplished at the Wednesday morning meeting of the board of public works in a brief session held shortly before its closeting with ollicials of the water department. The assessment roll amounted to over $40,oitn. in many cases the property owners were assessed larger amounts than tluvv had ever before been forced to pay. The J. M. Studebaker state is said alone to have paid over $11.0oo. Supt. Toyno of the water department reported to the board that he and engineers were working upon the threo alves required at the new north pumping sttaion to shift the pressure in time of tire directly into tho mains. They will be installed within the next few weeks. Matters of routine and regular business occupied the time of the two

DENY KAISER ORDERED TSIIMG TAU SURRENDERED PKKIN", Oct. 14. It was announced at the Japanese legation today that unofficial information received there stated that Emperor William had ordered Gov. MeyerWaldeck of Kiao-Chau to surrender Tsing Tau to the. Anglo-Japanese forces. According to the Japanese information, tho order was transmitted through the German minister in Pekin. At tho German legation it was denied that any such order had been received and the legation attaches asserted Tsing Tau would hold out against the allies' attacks. They said that Gov. Meyer-Waldeck had agreed to tho Japanese suggestion of an armistice for the removal of non-combatants. These include the American consul. W. It. Peck. Floating mines sown in Klao-Chau bay are appearing In the Chinese sea. Two Japanese coasters have been sunk.

LOVE FOR SCHOOL MA'AM WOVEN IN TRIAL STORY New Carlisle Swains in Court on Oi IhnUo Sides of $2,000 Damage Suit for Falso Imprisonment.

Dove and jealousy appears to have played an important part In the trial now before a jury in the superior court in which John J. Ackerman is suing Bradley Garoutte of near New Carlisle, for $2,000 damages upon a charge of malicious prosecution. According to certain testimony Garoutte and Ackerman were rivals for the attention of a school mistress of their neighborhood. Spectators in the court room appear to know the inside of the case and they say that Garoutte managed to prove the most attractive to the young lady. Garoutte is said to have taken the object of his and Ackerman's affections to a social. The riv.-il was at the social also and when Garoutto started home with the young lady in a buggy, the rival followed and accidentally ran into the rig, upsetting both vehicles. Ackerman is said to have given (laroutte one of the wheels from his demolished buggy in order that the young lady might be taken home. The wheel was never returned to

Ackerman according to the story, although several requests were made for it, Garoutte contending that his rival should pay for the damage to his buggy before he returned tho wheel. Again Garoutte and Ackerman met at another social, it is said. Garoutte still escorted the young lady. Ackerman is said to have demanded the wheel and Garoutte refused. Here it is said that Ackerman declared. "I will get your shirt or that wheel." He secured the wheel, according to the complaint and was placed under arrest on July '116, 1914 upon charges tiled by Garoutte. On July L'7 Ackerman was taken before a justice of peace at New Carlisle and the case was dismissed for lack of evidence. He now wants $2,000 for having been arrested and confined in jail for a period of four hours. The trial has been in progress before Judge Vernon W. Van Fleet and a jury since Tuesday.
