cos. enough to him to make any sort of attack, such as appears to have been ma.e on one of the robbr by Chrobot. Rut the precautions taken by the bandits In covering up their tracks In the way of removing all Identification marks from their clothing and using Rims apparently purchased outride of the city also leads to the belief that the -work may have been that of outsldo talent. Harry Josephs-on was busy last right Fending out 500 circulars to police departments In the central State, describing the bandits and explaining the $500 rew;rd offered by the Flkg' lodge for the arrest and conviction of the bandits. The Flks decided to offer the reward at a meeting' held Friday noon. This amount may be ratend to $1,000 If th robbers are not captured immediately. William Miiool Hotter. According to reports from Hpworth hospital at midnight William Muessel, who was shot by the bandits, was not In a dangerous condition. Although ho was not resting comfortably last night It was stated that he was believed to have a good chance of recovery Mrs. Henry Muessel, wife of tho murdered brewer, was expected to arrive In South Rend sometime early this morning. She was to have ben met In Chicago on her return trip from Oklahoma by Mr. and Mrs. rhlllp Goetz, who were close friends of Mr. Muessel. Herman Rowlln was arrested at Nlles and brought here a noon. He proved such a etrong alibi thai --f I Kuespcrt declared the police com4 not hold him. Two men held in Laporte were also questioned by the police and although they arc still In Jail Kuespert cays they are not the bandits. Bloodhound rnlltf.

PANAMA CANAL IS SHOWN IN PICTURES Lyman Howe Takes Olher Audieiuv to Many Spots of Interest. Unstinted rralse may be heaped upon tho many wonderful motion picturo plays which are presented dllly to an appreciative public, but th fact remains that no pictures excel and few eiual Lynan H. Howe's travel pictures for Konor.il appeal. Tho tirj-t of five shjws, which was iven at the Oliver theater Friday nicht, drew a larj:' crowd, "which was both entertained and instructed in a most acceptable manner for two hour. The Howe pictures stand preeminent in that they disclose care and artistic skill as well as intelligent choice of subjects. The pictures are the last word in the art or coloring. sj that the simplest subjects are made as pleasing and entertaining as the more unusual ones. Kealim is added to all the pictures by skilled performers who reproduce many ounda to suit the action of the pictures. The pictures Friday night carried the audience through the Rar.ama canal and to the expositions at San Diego nd San Francico. Although many pictures of the canal have been shown during the la.t year, yet tbe Howe pictures showed much that apparently was new. A feature of this subject was a manipulation of the picture. which showed the entire canal trip made in t.ve minutes. As to the expositions, the pictures left the audience with the feelinu that they had beon to the great fairs In fact and had seen all the sights which ordinarily could be seen only at the expense of m uh time ami travel rather than wah e.k; from the teats of a theater. sn; is si nk. ni:RLl.

?r' .' - . ... V-.. ' ' - ' A.' . . t . Political Gossip "After the holidays," has been the watchword In political camps hereabouts b) far as organized aetiltles are concerned, and, with the holidays passing rapidly, the tirst of the coming week may llnd many announcements of interest to the city, county and state to say nothing of the nation in general. Among local men due to make formal announcements Monday are Cyrus I'attee, former progressive, and now a republican candidate for prosecuting attorney, subject to the primary, and Samuel P. Schwartz, deput prosecutor under C. R. Montgomery, and candidate for primary nomination to succeed his present "boss." Covering a great deal of territory with a few words, it is safe to say most of the talked-of candidates will make a declaration either in favor of or against a primary race in the direction of the respective otlices to which they aspire. The year 1916 will bo a bi one politically. It is the year of the national election, and with so many issues and such diversified factions, one can expect even more puzzling Developments than were unfolded to the people in DJ 12. The republican party hopes for a re-marriage with the progressive bride, and many progressives seem to bo hoping along the same line. Then there are the factional differences caused by the war abroad and the self-evident fact the hyphen will make at least an impression in the coD'Jn;' presidential race, as well as th'.- batt!e for senate and house control. I'reparedness will enter into the coming campaign from present forecasts, as will foreign polities and foreign trade relations. Yes, and the tariff is bound to bob up again, along with countless other petty and Important beliefs alike. Woman suffrage and prohibition promise to hae their point of vantage throughout the year. That George Kurtz may hear the call and again seek the county prosecutorshlp on the republican ticket is a bit of gossip voiced hereabouts the past fo'A- days. "Go ahead and gossip." says C.eorge. "but I'm not talking for publication." Minneapolis- not Milwaukee will stage the next national comention of the prohibition party, and several men. including one from Indiana, are being talked of as possible candidates. The convention will be held July 19 and 20. and the possible presidential candidates are: J. Frank Hanly, former governor of Indiana; William Sulzer, former governor of New York; Richmond P. Hobson. former congressman from Alal a ma, and Rugene I oss, former governor of Massachusetts. . Robert Rraeken of Frankfort, chairman of the democratic county committee, has announce! he will be a candidate for the democratic nomination of joint senator from Clinton and Roone co untie.

This makes three active candidate? for the democratic nomination, the other two being Arthur H. Taylor of Petersburg, former congressman, and Dr. D, T.

Mellett, mayor of Anderson, has not yet issued a formal announcement that he will be a candidate for the democratic nomination for congress in the eighth district. Soon after John A. M. Adair became a candidate for the nomination for governor, Mayor Mellett told his friends he thought he would be a candidate to succeed Adair In the I district. Among Melletfs friends it is said he is waiting to pee whether W. II. Eichborn of Rluffton intends to peek the nomination for congress. Mellett. It is understood, will reach I a definite conclusion as to whether he will enter the district race when a district meeting of democrats takes place at Muncie early in January. 1 Rep. Henry A.

PARKS ARE PREPARED FOR WINTER ENJOYMENT Superintendent 1'erley Reports on Work Done During Tnst Season. Considerable space Is devoted to winter sports in South Bend according to Pork L Perley, secretary of the park beard, who gave a basic estimate of the ground used for skating rinks and the Riverside dr. slide, last winter. In rinks, 4 40,000 square feet of city property were covered and cared for between Dec. 15. 1914, and Feb. 13, 1315, says Mr. Perley. In addition to this, there was the slide into Leeper park, which Is 1,430 feet long and 2 4 feet wide. A total of 3 4,8 00 square feet of city property is used in this winter feature. Many people are of the impression it is an easy matter to build and care for these ice fields, says Mr. Perley, who described tho methods followed here. Fire hydrants with their powerful streams are not used, as many think, but a fine stream is played first tin the bare pround and then on tho ice formed during the night. Hours of careful flooding are necessary both in the slide and the rinks. The work is done mostly through the night hours and means many nights of painstaking effort. It Is pointed out that water from the tire hydrants is too warm for uso on the ground. All snow is first cleared away, following which, on the bare surface, the nrst crust is made, and with this as a foundation and the frost still held to the soil, the body of tho rink and slide are built. A party from Roston coasting at Riverside dr. Thursday night was high in its praise of the South Rend slide. Members of tho party had traveled a great deal, but declared the South Rend slide the beet they had ever ued. IS HELD TO GRAND JURY Rllnt Loiar Accused of Keeping Check Tor $5K).

With Sunday, Jan. 2, known as "Go 'to Church Sunday," the simultaneous evangelistic campaign under the auspices cf the Ministerial Association of South Bend and Mlshawaka will bo started in both cities. Cards, supplied to all churches, have been distributed to members of the congregation and have been advertising tho event for many days past. At Sunday's services the plan of the campaign will be outlined by ministers of the two eitle.. Next week will be one of prayer in all churches, some of them Joining others in Joint services, but each carrying on the program in its own way. Tho special topic for prayer at these meetings will be the evangelistic campaign to follow. Tho second and third weeks of January will be devoted to cottage prayer meetings. Arrangements have been made by the ministerial committee to hold meetings on Tuesdays and Fridays of each week. The city has been divided into districts and announcements of tho places for the district meetings will be made later. On Jan. 22, the evangelistic meetings wiM open In the CO churches of South Rend and Mishawaka, when each church will follow its own method of seeking new members and the conversion of people in its district. Some of the churches have secured revivalists from out of the city, others will have special services to be addressed by out of town men, and many of them will hear sermons by their own pastors. All services will start at 7:30 o'clock, and will be held every night In the week excepting Saturday. Tho revivals will last as long as the church feels it desires to hold them. A novel feature in revival work, the idea has been accepted favorably by the churches of South Rend, and with the cooperation promised, members of the ministerial association expect great benefit from tho idea.

RESOLUTIONS ARE SUGGESTED TO BOYS Re Helpful to Mother Is Good One to Follow, Says He v. Mr. Alexander. Rev. John M. Alexander, pastor of the First Christian church, spoke to the junior boys' Rible class last night at the Y. M. C. A. His subject was "New Year's Resolutions." Rev. Alexander said that there were three resolutions he would suggest to the boys. Thej- were: Be helpful to mother, preservation of energy mentally, physically and morally, and the utilization and economy of time. "New Year's resolutions must not be made only to be broken," said the speaker. "Resolutions made any time, when kept faithfully, are a splendid thing, but New Year's being suggestive of the time of making new pledges for keeping the new year, is generally considered the proper day on which avowals of this sort should be begun." The Y. M. C A. boys enjoyed a taffy pull later in the evening as part of the New Year's eve festivities. The Y. M. C. A. has rot provided for any unusual stunts for New Year's day save for basket ball games In the gymnasium. VVAKARUSA MEN ARE RELEASED BY POLICE Hero on Tliolr Way to. Appear Refore the Public Service Body. Members of the Indianapolis police force are exerting every effort in assisting ' officers ovt r the state to round up suspects in the Muessel murder case. That they are doing their lest and allowing no bet to go uncalled is evident from an episode Friday when two men were taken in tow from a Big Four train. Well dressed, but evidently rather suspicious looking, the men were taken from the- parlor car of the train to police headquarters. They were questioned thoroughly regarding the robben,' and , murder here and finally released. They had proven to tho satisfaction of the Indianapolis department that they were at the capital to appear before the public en Ice commission in an electric case in which a Goshen company seeks to purchase the Wakarusa lighting plant.

International News Service: CHESTER, Pa., Dec. 31. The American steamship Petrolite of the Standard Oil Co.'s fleet, under command of Capt. II. B. Thompson, arrived at Marceus today with a thrilling story of how the ship was attacked by an Austrian submarine on Dec. 5, one day out of Alexandria, Egypt. Several shots were fired at the American ship, despite the fact that the captain of the Petrolite swung his ship around broadsides at the second shct, displaying a 6 4-foot LT. S.
