TWELVE SPECIAL TRAINS
THEY BROUGHT THOUSANDS OF Ex-
CURsIONIsTs TO TOWN YESTERDAY.
People from Cincinnati, Louisville,
Terre Haute, Xenia, o., and other
PIaces-A MOrristOwn Accident.

The Union Station was a very busy place
for few hours yesterday evening. From
6 until 80 o'clock the place fairly swarmed
with people-most of them strangers. 1t
was said at the station last night that in
an hour and a half eight thousand people
were handled by the employees of the Union
Railway Company.
People came to the city yesterday from
every part OF the State and from adjoin-
ing States. BY o'clock last night the
last of the twelve special trains that
brought people to town was out Of the
sheds. During the day the Lake Erie &
Western Railway unloaded twenty-seven
cars at the station. The Big Four had an
excursion from Louisville and one from
Springfield, O. The c., II. 81 d. brought
great crowd from Cincinnati and the Pan
handle ran special from Xenia, o.. and
neighboring towns. During the morning
the Vandalia brought a crowded train from
Terre Haute and towns along the route
and there was a special in from the north
ern part of the State over the Michigan di-
vision Of the Big Four. At intervals during
the day and last night the right of way
over the union tracks was given special
trains bearing excursionists to the Grand
Army National Encampment at Buffalo.
Ou6 special tram Containing 1luIdueL pSO-
pie left the station during the night. The
majority of the Buffalo excursionists were
from the city. The employees at the sta
ton expect a busy time. to-day.
The Christian Union delegates had not
begun to leave the city in large numbers
last night. A few of the delegates have
gone to their homes but the exodus viii
begin in earnest this morning. The crowds
at the station were handled without a sin
gle accident and the people gave the en-
pl0yes little trouble. telegram from
Morristown late last night stated that the
Cincinnati excursion over the c., Fl. e. d.
had met a mishap. -Four cars were de-
rallied and the engine was disabled. No
one was reported injured The excursion
train left the Union Station between and s
o'clock. The accident to this train delayed
the west-bound c.. H. & y. train which
should arrive here at 1920. The train came
in over two hours late.
Many of the visitors to the city yesterday
were attracted by the big convention and
others came because the fare was dirt
cheap and because they had some place
to go" The men in charge Of the monu-
ment had a busy time all day. The num-
Der of people who viewed the city from the
top of the shaft was perhaps greater than
any day this season.

admission to the resort on Sunday after

Mr. Taylor's speech showed the vast debt

can get it by calling on Controller john

who desire information as to the city

only thing that it does not contain is

CHUNG TO HER RENT MONEY.
John Collins Tried to Get 1t from His
Wife TO Buy Liquor.

The screams of terrified women attracted
the attention Of neighbors and pedestrians
to the house at new So South Capitol
avenue at 10 o'clock last night. The screams
came from the upper story where lives the
family Of John Collins. No one dared enter
the house, and presently the screaming
ceased and Collins staggered from the
place. A telephone message brought the
bicycle police and they learned that Collins
had come home drunk and whipped his
wife because she would not give him money
to buy more liquor
The woman said she had saved enough
money to pay the rent in order that she
shoul9 not be turned out of the house and
that her husband tried to take this away
from her. She chung to her purse as she
spoke as if she feared she might yet lose
it. She was lying on a poor bed in room
devoid of furniture with the exception of
another bed on which lay small child
sleeping. On the woman's forehead was a
large lump, which she said had come from
a blow dealt by her husband. The neigh

A RARE HOOSIER BOOK.
A Life OF Napoleon Printed in Salem,
Ind, i'm 1918.

State librarian Henry has recently come
In possession of a rare book. In prosecut-
ing his plan of making a collection for the
library of works written by Indianians and
completing the literary photography OF
the State Mr. Henry makes inquiry wher-
ever he goes in regard to local authors
and publications. During a recent visit to
Salem Washington county, he was shown
a book which he had never heard of be-
fore and of which he succeeded in OBJ
tanning copy. 1t is a Life of Napoleon
Bonaparte," published in Salem in 1918. The
title page reads as follows: THE Life of
Bonaparte, Late Emperor of the French,
etc, etc, from His Birth Until His De-
parture to the Island of st. Helena. BY
Citizen of the United States. Salem,
Indiana Printed by Patrick & Booth.
1878" The book is a duodecimo, contains
236 pages and is bound in calf. 1t is we'll
printed in clear type on good firm paper
and in good FORM 1t is entirely free from
typographical errors and is a remarkable
piece of book work for that period and
book of its character could have been
printed at all in Salem at that time. The
date of it's publication was two years after
the admission of Indiana to the Union.
The MIR. Booth, of the firm of Patrick 81
Booth, was the late Beebee Booth, father
of the late Senator Newton Booth. Patrick
that time and the book was printed on the
small hand press of that period.
Though a duodecimo, the tokens show
that it was printed four pages at a time,
showing that the press must have been
very small. The presswork as well as the
typography is very good and the whole APP
pearance of the book is equal to that of
books published anywhere in the East at
that time. Mr.. Henry found there were
two copies of the work in Washington
county and he purchased one of them. 1t
was undoubtedly the first book of "a literary
character published in Indiana and was
only antedated by the acts of the Terri
toIiaI Legislature and of the first Legis-
lature which sat at Corydon after the ere
alton of the State. The value of the work
a literary curiosity is enhanced by the
fact that its authorship is concealed under
the designation by a Citizen of the United
States There is nothing in the book to
indicate who the author was, whether
resident Of Salem or not and there is no
probability that the interesting secret of
its authorship or the authors reasons for
concealing his identity Will ever be dis
closed.

ONE IDEA OF A GOOD TIME.
How n Farmer Excursionist Passed
the DaY Hero.


He was one of the excursionists who came
to the city yesterday morning He looked
tired, but his face beamed with happiness
as he stood at the big iron gates at the
Union Station last night waiting for his
train home. There was a rustic air about
him, and his whole personality was re-
minder of fragrant pastures and growing
cornfelds. Beside him was a flash young
man. A slightly flushed face and an odor
of cloves he was chewing indicated plainly
enough how he has passed his day. He
eyed the old man with an amused and
slightly contemptuous glance. Their eyes
met. The old man beamed a smile into his

Then Drop Her Case.

Detectives Kinney and Thornton yester-
day further investigated the story Of Myrtle
Ellis. the young woman who reported that
she was robbed Saturday night of a pocket
book containing $125. The detectives learned
that the girl had been discharged from the
family of Cecil Smith as a domestic, and
also learned that the brother from whom
she said she received $50 had not been in the
city. After some talk with the girl she
came down to $50. but insisted that she had
been robbed of this amount, for her brother
had given IL TO her before he left for Mem

Shall we write the new creed in
place Of the old? For myself, l un-
hesitatingly answer, no.
There are three criticisms made
upon the Winchester Profession, not
one of which seems important, when
the real function of creed is con
sidered. In the second article some de-
tect Trinitarian sentiment, and fla
vor of utilitarianism in the third The
word "restore is criticised because
it has backward look, and points to
the tragedy of the expulsion from the
garden of Eden. Yet, as matter of
fact, these are not necessary blem-
ishes. We do believe in God; we do
confess Christ; the holy spirit is bibli-
cal, and the revelation of the divine
nature of love is the central fact of
the Christian gospel. 1t is a fact
that the holiest and divinest rapture
of bliss that the soul of man expert
ences is associated with the perform
ance of duty. We belong to God. He
holds us as his own, and will finally
reclaim us. We go our gait, we wan
der far and wide, but our destiny is
harmony with God at last, holiness,
righteousness and peace, and who
among us would object to divine re-
claiming? l do not think this is an
unnatural rendering or forced mean
ing for the word restore" Undoubt-
edly hundred years ago it had
larger meaning of the fall of man.
Today the Garden of Eden is before
US, and tie fall of man upstairs.
am sure that the Winchester Profess
sion, as it now stands, and has stood
for hundred years, more nearly ex-
presses the actual religious life of the
church than almost any substitute
that could be written. 1t is flexible
and yet persistent, broad and yet di-
rect. 1t affirms great principles, and
yet affords large room for individual
liberty of thought and action.
The new creed is guilty of sins,
both of omission and commission. 1t
is far more open to the impeach-
ment of Trinitarianism than the old.
The old creed declares belief in one
God; the new does not even affirm
the divine unity, doctrine which l
can hardly fancy dropping out of the
Universalist Church. 1t is wholly in
adequate as statement of our idea
of the all-pervading God, both i'm
manent and transcendent. The sec
ond article is also faulty, for while it
recognizes wide range of prophetic
insight and utterance, it makes no
special claim for the Christian Cos
pei as the supreme revelation of God
to man. God has never left the world
without witness of himself, but in
Jesus Christ we have the supremerev-
elation of his nature and of the duty
