County Dcmocrais Hold First Meeting and Plan for Fall Campaign. Democrats more than taxed the rapacity of the j.arty headquarters in the American hMs. last n:ht. the occasion being the initial meeting" of th county committer called together hy Chairman Frank Mayr, jr.. to plan lor the fall campaign. In addition to the precinct committeemen tliut go to make up the county rommittee. the county candidates and other interested in party work were present to register their enthusiasm. The meeting led off sort of "experience" fashion, with Chairman Mayr. William A. Mclnerny. Stuart McKibMn. Chester K. Montgomery. Joseph E. XefT, Charles A. Hagerty. Kdward J. Twomey. George V. Hepler and Patrick A. Joyce as speakers. Mr. Mclnerny set the pace in reviewing the work of the present state and national administrations, and others followed with new and varied phases. Confidence in the outcome of the campaign favorable to the democrats was general. Will Take INdl. A complete poll of the county and a more thorough organization of the precincts was put up to the arious preclnt committeemen, and such plans were worked out as will render It practically impossible for any oter to accept a republican dollar or two dollar?, or three without b"ing caught at it. Combat of both republican money and republican buncombe is to be a constant vogue. It was announced at the meeting that there is to be a democratic and ;i republican day at the Interstate fair this fall, the former of which is to be made the occasion for a big democi-atic rally. Negotiations were alfio announced for new and larger headquarters during the campaign. Anthony Wolfe, secretary to Congressman Henry A. I'.arnhart, attended the meeting as a messenger of the congressman, the Illness of whose ife, at their home in Rochester, rendered his presence irarnMe. Mr. Wolfe reviewed the confidence of official Washington in democratic success this fall, dwelling parlarly upon that of the president, whom he quoted as being emphatic in his lack of fear that the republicans will be able to accomplish anything great. Condition Hangcrou.. Mm Uarnhart, it was reported by Mr. Wolfe, 1 so seriously ill that a crista may come at any moment, and leave the congressman bereft of his life companion. That the republicans dare not threaten a repeal of any of the progressive and beneficial legislation of the democrats during the past three years; that they have no platform before the people, and no issu'.a that they dare step out in the open and fight for; that their campaign is to le one of vituperation, misrepresentation, bullion and fraud; and that when pressed for a straight answer to any of the questions which their rtumbuggery raises, they will be limited in their vocabulary to an assertion of their "undiluted Americanism." was the substance of the address by W. A. Mclnerny, the most lengthy of the evening. "We will have to meet this by acquainting ourselves with the accomplishments of democracy." he continued, "and be nble to talk it all the while." Kducatlonal literature, according- to Chairman Mayr, will be placed In the hands of every oter as soon as the poll i taken, it being realized that the democratic campaign must be an educational one, appealing to the head and patriotism cf thn votor. rather than to his vote -felling iwer. Another meeting of tba committee will he held after a couple of weck. HORSES ARE SPRAYED Old Dobbin hasn't been bothered fo much with the heat since Thursday noon, for he nnd 41 other horse, of the city presented themselves at the court houe to receive a free spray, tri courtesy of the humane .society, "It was a Micces-V declared a humane society officer.

GOES TO CAPTURE ROBBER; FINDS HIS RELATIVE ON PORCH

"Yes. this is the police station." "You say that a man i.j climbing In a window at MO Bowman st.?" "We will send a policeman there at onre So Sf-r-'t. Chappell called to Motorcycle Ofücer Omsttad and Wcsolek and they hastened to S10 Bowman St. The neighborhood at that spot was considerably awake, im luding dos, cats and children, and one woman, scantily dressed, who wanted to help catch the burglar. The policemen alighted from their machines at. out a half block from the hou.oe, and cautiously advanced, followed hy the neighborhood, all anxious to be in at the death. When they arrived at the house a man was sitting on the front porch, and. yes. he was chewing tobacco. (flrnstead Hashed his light on the man's face and Rasped in astonishment. The man was Olmstead's uncle. He had rome to the house. into which his son-in-law was moving, and finding the doors locked, had entered by a window. He gently rebuked his nephew, and the latter smilingly apologized, and calling his partner, Wesolek started back to the stition. D ARK BOARD PLANS Hill' FOR KID Body Meets in Own Rooms First Time in History of South Bend. For the first time since the commission of the park board was granted it met in It own room. Formerly it had occupied the rooms of the board of works. The new home is located in the room once used by the council committee of the whole, which has been newly finished and furnished. The board instructed Mr. Perley to continue with the construction of the retaining wall on the west shore of the river at Deeper park, and also to complete the grading of the road alonjr the Woods tract. Various plans were considered for the construction of a swimming pool at Studebaker park in the natural hollow just west of the center of the park. Its feasibility was first of all under discussion and. tdnce the plans of the engineers have not yet been submitted, it is impossible to decide with accuracy whether the pool can be constructed or not. The youngsters of the neighborhood have with nice ingenuity laid a dam at one of the narrow parts of the Bowman creek to form a swimming pool such ns Briggs likes to picture. In the murky brown waters held hy the sand bags the kids are having the time of their lives. There is a splendid appearing natural ravine just a short distance from this pool which the park board will attempt to turn into a big pool to supplant the present one. At present the city engineers have the project under consideration. TO LAY CORNER STONE i). V. Cain of Scjniour to Officiate at Olivet A. M. IJ. Church.

flOOF ÖP TALE Tribune Asked to Present Evi dence of Alleged "Joy Ride" to Board of Safety. Yellow journalism of the South Bend Tribune variety, which sends policewomen and policemen on a "joy ride" in the city ambulance in the wee hours of the morning, and occasionally has some young man die because his mother objected to his taking out insurance having hut little regard for truth when it better serves its purpose to prevaricate is to have a try-out before the board of public safety next Friday morning, aecording to notice served upon the Tribune publishers last evening. According to the board, the Main st. paper has been doing considerable "nagging" of the police department of late and, in response to its latest outburst, it has been invited to present Its evioenee or reveal the source of its knowledge. The notice follows: Demand- I a idem o. "Department of -public Safety. City of South Bend, Ind., July 21, 1916. "Tribune Printing Co.. Publishers of The South Bend Daily Tribune," South Bend, Ind.: "In the issue of your paper of July IS. llHfi. you published the fol lowing article, to wit: " i)i:ci,.iti: pomci: wi:iti: ox midnight joy mm:. " 'Two OHicvrs and Policewoman .Minnie livnns Arc Accused by Witnesses. " 'Night owls who chanced to be on Michigan st. Wednesday evening about 12:15 declare they saw an excellent demonstration of real speed i when they witnessed the city auto mobile patrol racing north on the principal thoroughfare at a rate of speed estimated to be between T.5 to GO miles an hour. " 'Some maintain that two policemen and Mrs. Minnie Evans were in the car taking a joy ride, while enroute to the latter's home at 622 Coquillard st. Eye witnesses say that the car nearly turned over at the corner of Michigan st. and Lasalle av. while it was negotiating the turn. Five minutes later a call came in to a local parage sayins that they had had an accident and wanted to be pulled in. ' 'According to information at police headquarters the patrol was taking a woman prisoner to her home across the river on the east side. They say that the car suffered a break in the rear axle and that the accident is a common one.' 'The board of public safety hereby notifies you that on Friday morning. July 28, KU 6, at 10 a. m., it will be ready to hear such evidence as you desire to introduce to prove the truth of the allegations set forth in said art icle. "If the board has in its employ persons who are not discharging their duty and conducting themselves properly, it wants to know the facts, and von owe it to the board and to the city of South Bend to produce the evidence to prove the allegations set forth In said article. "We trust you will help us to prove that these allegations are false or true, as the evidence may show. "Yours truly. "BOARD OF PUBLIC SAFETY. "B. F. Augustine, "John A. Hibberd, "Clement S. Smogor." Chief of Police Kerr was emphatic in his denial last night regarding the so-called joy ride. "On the night in question." said the chief, "Capt. Schock sent Mrs. Eans to accompany a girl to her home in the police pv.-ol. When the officers and policewoman returned to the station, it was after midnight and there were no cars running. The policeman took Mrs. Evans to her home in the patrol." In regard to the accident to the machine, it was one which is not uncommon, the rear axle breaking off near the differential, and the slight damage was repaired in less than five minutes. Extra axles are kept in the barn and one is carried in the machine. "There is absolutely no joy-riding in the city machines," said Capt. James Schock last night. "We can never tell when they may be needed in an emergency and the' are always kept ready for business." In a story printed Friday the Tribune attempted to straighten out the report but further misrepresented the facts by stating that Mrs. Evans was at home with a sprained ankle on the night in question and not joy-riding. Mrs. Evans was on the patrol on the night in question, according to the chief, and was the woman "who some person thought they saw," as the Tribune so grammatically pointed out. This attempted effort to cover up the yelb w journalism of a few days' previous has proved another fiasco and an example of the reliability of reports spread broadcast from the same source. U. S. SOLDIER DIES John Frain, who for the past five months has been serving as private in the United States army in the Hawaiian islands, met with a fatal accident July 4. His body is being sent to the home o this parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Frain. 102.) N. St. l,ouis st. It is expected to arrive in the city about the first of August. While performing his regular duties he nut with the accident which cuuse.i a concussion of tht1 rain from which lie s.m n died. Only several da'.s a'o the news of I Lis death reached hi3 parents.

The regular issue of the serial story. ' The Secret of the Submarine," will be shown aLo. AT THE 1JVSALI.E. Victor .Moore, the king of joy, will be featured at the IiSalle today in a faithful story of the sawdust circle, "The Clown.' To be a circus clown was the boyhood ambition of Mr. Moore, and when a small boxhe ran away from home and joined a circus, and for the immense sum of $i per week and board was permitted to wear the clown uniform in the parade in the inornin,; and sell peanuts to the audiences in the afternoon. Mr. Moore's circus career lasted for three weeks, when his father finally located him and, after a brief wood-shed conference, drove all desire for circus life out of the young man's head. But his ambition is realized in this present Jesse L. Lasky production and he is seen both as the inimitable comedian who is the children's joy and as a noble husband and father. For the incidents connected with the circus scenes the Lasky company rented an entire circus organization for threo days and presented the scenes with the real performers. The picture throughout is of a most unusual order and Mr. Moore is surrounded by a cast of excellence, Including such prominent artists as Thomas Mieghan. Florence Dagmar, Ernest Joy, Gerald Ward and others. The Burton Holmes travel pictures will complete today's procram. A typical western s;ory will be featured at the LaSalle or. Sunday with that well-known portrayer of western roles, William S. Hart, in the leading part. The story is laid in the Bocky mountains, affording opportunity for splendid scenic effects. AT Till: COLONIAL. Smallpox or "red fever." the s-courge of the far north, is an imposant metnher of the oast of "The Desfroyers," the five-part Blue Itihhon release of the Vitapraph for the Colonial Saturday. Boccaccio presented the smallpox as a horrible skeleton dress'ed in vivid scarlet passing through the palace corridors of kins, touching everyone and carrying death to everyone it touched, passing through the Iiuts of peasants and carrying to these humble homes as wtll his message of destruction. In the wastes of the northlan '.r.en frequently become snowbound at the beginning of winter and are vna'de to move from camp for many months owing1 to drifts which make mountain passes impossible to cro.ss, or to storms that continue almost without end. One of the dangers of such a situation in olden times was pcurvy of which imny men both in uncivilized lands and on sea died every year. It was discovered, however, hi the eiuhu-enth century that eithe;- limo juice .r raw potatoes were a complete cure for scurvy and since that time the disease has almost completely vanished from the huran ra e. The deadly smallpox, however, the oritjin of which no one -cenis to uvdersi' nd, is still a great nenne? confronting anyone who is forced to live in a small hut or tent far away from his kind and in more or less insanitary conditions for any length of time in cold climates. The man who is forced to live in miction for a long time and who is. chilled most of the time and unable to take any extttise to warm himself and whose food is limited in a very large debtee to dried meats Is apt to suiter fiom impaired blood vaiues, resulting in smallpox.
