FOR UNIVERSITY STUDY.
Center for Home Work to BE Organ
lied at Seventh Presbyterian Church.

new NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. association is
to be organized in this city tomorrow even
ing, at the Seventh Presbyterian Church,
under the direction of Miss Susan Cocroft.
a representative of the association, who
came here from Chicago. This work is
not to be carried on by lectures, as here
tofore, but in study classes. When the
worlds congress was in session plans for
uniting the best talent of the world was
made. This is to include a university
course of work TO be carried on at home.
The plans have since been conSummated
and forwarded by the officers of the world :
Association. Hon: &. &. Bonney president
OF the congress, is president of the aSso-
citation; Rt Rev. Samuel Falows, d. ID.
LII D., is chancellor, and Mrs. Ellen NJ.
Woman's Clubs, is vice president. Among
the instructors in the courses of study are
George Ebbers, of the University of Leip-
sic; Theophilus G. Pinches. of the British
University College. London; Prince Serge
Wolskonski, delegate from the ministry of
public instruction of Russia; Il. X. Sanders,
of Yale University, and others.
The course of work as prepared by the
different universities is published in sylla-
bus form, which the classes study at
home. They meet once each week in their
respective centers and, under the direction
OF leader, discuss the topics studied dur
ing the week. Once each month the classes
meet in a general center, thus interchang-
ing ideas under the direction of some one
especially interested in that department of
work. Arrangements have been made for
three centers in this city. One will be at
the Tabernacle Church, one at the Seventh
Presbyterian Church and one at the Ger
man clubhouse. Anyone wishing 10 join

A PLAN TO BREAK JAIL.
"BiIl" Gleason Wants Saws Sent to
Him at ConnersvilIe.

Superintendent Colbert yesterday came
ito the possession of a letter written by
'Bilf' Gleason, one of the Carthage robbers
captured in this city two weeks ago, TO a
confederate in this city, containing plan
for escape from the Connersville Jail. where
Gleason and his pals are now confined The
letter reads as follows:
This is from your old friend, Bill Glea-
son. You can save me If you Will. We are
In the Connersville Jail There is only one
man has charge OF the Jail. / have always
mad confidence in you. / want you TO get
me three or four blade saws and can
be free in half an hour. Dee Shipman
promised to bring them to me if YOU will
help him get them. Dee Shipman is in the
WorkhouSe now serving IL. Do not lose any
years over our heads. Our trial is the first
of March. Now IL you will help me this
much, would do il for you If had to walk
forty miles You know / am a square man
and an honest friend to you Give those
saws to Dee and tell him to put them in
his shoes and come to the Jail. They let
him sleep here all night ard turn them out
at o'clock in the morning. Our lives are
in your hands. You can save us If you
will. If you will send those to me l will
go TO hell for you to do you a favor"
A friend of Gleasons. signing himself
"A Partner of Bilrs," adds the following
lines:
Now. If you haven't the money 20 buy
these blades with, go TO 1912 East Wash
ingtOn street and ask for Bill Johns. OF
course. you will have to show him these
few lines. Everything is safe with this
fellow. Ask him for Bob's suit of clothes
and you can get a couple of dollars for
them, or let this fellow sell them and he
can give the money 10 YOU"
Then "Bill'' resumes as follows:
eff you can't get out and Dee Ship
man send Bill Johns. the man you are going
to see at 16416 third floor back, room to
the right. / would like TO have seen you
before they took us away. This is the
easiest place l was ever in. This place is
on the g., II. e. ID. road"
Superintendent Colbert refuses to say who
the friend is 10 whom the letter was adj
dressed, nor will he say how the letter
came into his possession. He sent a copy
of it TO the authorities at Connersville adj
vising them to watch their prisoners close
lest they break out and escape.

KNIGHTS OF KHORASSAN.
Temple of the Order Organized I'm
This City Last Night.

Last night a number of leading members
of the Knights of Pythias met in the Of
flee of Frank Bowers and completed the
organization of a temple of the Dramatic
Order of knights of Khorassan. This is
new thing in which only members of the
Knights of Pythias can participate. The
rules of the order state that only PythianS
in good standing and who remain so can
be members of the order, and expressly
state that it must in no way be considered
as a part of the knights of Pythias, for It
has no connection, except the provision of
eligibility The order is to be TO the
knights of Pythias about what the Mystic
Shrine is to the Masonic order. 1t is de-
signed to give higher place TO which
members of the K. of z. can aspire, and
will contain a great deal that will make
fun and amusement.
This is the third temple organized in this
State. There are now temples IN Evans
vile and Goshen. The members of this
temple. of which there are now $50, have
been working for several weeks TO secure
an organization. During the preliminary
meetings, which have been held every Sat
urday night, George w. Powell has been
chairman and Frank Bowers secretary. At
the final organization last night the follow
ing officers were elected:
Grand Nawab-Dr. s. r.. carp.
Venerable Sheik-W. w. Lowry.
Royal NiZier-Frank Strip.
Grand Emir-George Pendleton.
Mahedi-Harry Weber.

THE TRANSFERS STRIKE.
County Commissioners Attempt to
Cause Settlement.

The County Commissioners yesterday
made an effort to settle the differences be-
tween the courthouse yard contractor and
the teamsters. The trouble arose over the
fact that the dirt being removed Is being
hauled so far that teamsters cannot make
much $50 a day. They objected to
working for this small amount, and their
objection was looked upon as reasonable by
the commissioners. Yesterday the commits
sioners decided TO make the city an offer
that will relieve matters. The approach TO
the Kentucky-avenue bridge needs filling
badly. 1t is the duty of the city to fill it.
but the commissioners offered TO pay one
third of the cost of the dirt if the city
would arrange with the contractors to use
the dirt for that purpose. This is a much
shorter haul, and it is believed that team
sters can make ten to fourteen trips day
TO the bridge. This would earn from s. to
$3.50 a day. The city cannot accept or re-
ject the offer until tomorrow, when the
Board of Public Works will meet.
Yesterday Secretary Grout, of the Charity
Organization Society, made an arrangement
with Contractor Purdy which is causing
considerable grumbling among the work
men. Mr. Purdy agreed TO employ twenty
five men each day, to be sent by the Char
ity Organize ton. These men will receive
one days work and will be paid in orders
on the Charity Organization, which orders
Will be redeemed with 1000 at WnOleSdle
prices. This will give the holders of the
tickets about % per cent. more for their
work than If they received money and
bought their food elsewhere. There has
been considerable grumbling about this ar
rangement among the men who were at
work for Mr.. Purdy. They claim that they
need the work as much as the men who APP
ply for charity. Many of them have bor-
rowed money or owe grocery bills, and need
the money to, settle up. They claim that
they are entitled TO as much consideration
as the people who have appealed to the
charity of the public, and that simply be-
their own resources even to going largely
in debt, is no reason why they should not
receive the same consideration as those who
depend upon charity. They claim that they
are more entitled TO consideration than the
other class.
