LAFAYETTE is CHOSEN.
The State Medical Society VIII Meet
There.

Quite number of physicians and business
men of Lafayette came here to urge the
officers and chairmen of committees of the
Indiana State Medical Society, who met at
the office of DR.. w. N. Wishard, president
of the society, yesterday, to select their
city for the annual meeting in May. Repre-
sentatives Of Anderson, West Baden and
other places were on hand with invitations.
After hearing the claims and promises of
all, it was decided to hold the meeting in
Lafayette. The promise is that the dele
gates to the annual meeting will be royalty
entertained. Dr. Edwin Walker, of Evans
vile, chairman of the committee on ar
rangements for the convention, who was
appointed after Evansville was selected at
the last annual meeting, was at the meet
ing yesterday and explained that the physi-
clans of that city had decided it not wise
to have the meeting held there this year,
much to their regret. When Evansville
was selected it was with the understanding
that the principal hotel was to be aban-
doned and rebuilt i'm time for the meeting
1t has not been rebuilt owing to litigation
Present hotel accommodations are made
quate, and therefore the physicians decid-
ed the convention could moi be cared for in
the right manner. They hope to get it
another year.
No other arrangements with regard to
the coming meeting of the state society will
be changed. Every one was anxious to
have the meeting place settled as soon 2s
possible, and the physicians believe that the
selection made was the most satisfactory
possible.

ACCIDENTS ON THE STREETS.
City Attorney Wants the Police to Re-
port Them.

City Attorney Kern has filed his annual
report at the mayors office. 1t shows all
the business transacted by the law depart
ment last year. Mr. Kern speaks of the
litigation in the street car and gas cases,
which, he says, practically requires all his
time. He was employed by the city as spe-
clal counsel in the street car cases two
years ago. Since his appointment as city
attorney this expense has been abolished
With the added work growing out Of the
proposed park system and the constantly
increasing city business, Mr.. Kern says
that the services of an additional assistant
are needed.
Many of the damage cases against the
city grow out of damaged streets that have
become dangerous. Mr.. Kern Says that in
his report that many times the city has no
knowledge of accidents occurring until a
suit is brought. Then it is too late to get
proper evidence. 1t should be the duty of
patrolmen, he thinks, to report all acct
dents that come within their knowledge
with the names of witnesses. etc, in order
that the cases may at once be Investigated
by the legal department. This, Mr.. Kern
thinks, would enable the city to avoid
pared under his direction for the use of
the police in making the reports he indi-
Gates.
The appropriations for the department
were 040 last year, of which only 81
1916 was expended. Seven cases were COM
promised at quite large saving to the
city.

WORLDS FAIR SIGHTS.
A Novel Entertainment at TomIinson
Hall.

The Girls Industrial School is granted
the use of Tominson Hall every Saturday
afternoon from the first Saturday in Octo-
Der till the last Saturday in May, unless it
is rented for some other purpose. 1t is the
only room in the city that will accommo-
date the 1914 pupils and over one hundred
teachers and officers. During the present
year the school has had the use of the
hall but seven Saturdays. When compelled
to vacate the hall the use of the Superior
and Criminal Court rooms, at the court
house, are granted by the County Com
missioners and the judges. The loss of
time to the pupils and the hard work for
the ladies makes it very discouraging.
When the school meets at the courthouse
the little girls, after walking many miles,
obliged to go over to Tomlinson Hall
for their work, sit in the great armed chairs
to sew, with their feet from four to eight
inches from the floor, and before their les
sons completed they are tired out They
must then put up their work and carry it
back to the hall to have it safely stored in
the lockers. The women who are carrying
on this work and who give from two to
three afternoons of each week to prepare
the work for the school and visit in the
homes or their pupils think that the school
should be furnished a permanent home.
In order to raise money for this enter
Prise the ladies Will give an entertainment
the week beginning Feb 9, at Tomlinson

England Home, where lunches will be
served of Boston baked beans and brown
bread; the Japanese Village, with it's nu-
merous curios for sale and tea as a bever-
age; the Moorish Palace, with its Juggling
and dancing, its stereopticon views and il
lusions; Old Vienna, a resting place with
comfortable chairs and tables, where one
may partake of a cup of Vienna coffee and
hot rolls; the German Village, with its
sandwiches of rye bread and schweitzer,
with wienerwurst the Irish Village, with
it's piper and dancer; the Turkish Village.
with its rich and rare Oriental goods for
sale; Hagenbach's arena of animals in their
cages. The Congress of Beauties will be
feature. The inhabitants of these numer-
Gus villages will all appear in native cos
tunes. In the center of the hall will be
placed the Ferris wheel, In which passen-
gers may be raised to such an altitude as to
obtain a birds eye view of the numerous
attractions. A brass band will furnish mu-
sic. A procession of all the villagers, led
by the brass band will perform the grand
march at 10 o'clock.

Another Suit Against Chaplin.

Zeler & Riddell. proprietors of a private
bank at Brazil. Ind. began an action in
the Marion Superior Court yesterday
against Frederick NJ. Chaplin. who is al
legged to have executed a note to the bank
Sept. 9, 1897, for $1,000. 1t is claimed the
note remains unpaid Sterling r. Holt,
who it is averred, Endorsed the note, is
made a party defendant, with Florence M.
Chaplin, Chester c. Foor the Union Trust
Company and the Brazil Ice and Cold
Storage Company.
This suit is similar to the one brought
against Chaplin last week by the First Ma
tional Bank. of Brazil, to collect a note for
$500. Sterling r. Holt, whose name APP
peared as indorser on the latter note, and
who was named as defendant, pronounced
it a forgery and makes the same charge as
to the 900 note. In both suits brought by
the bank 1T is asserted that Chaplin trans
ferred furniture and fixtures at the Charlie
mont Hotel to his wife, Florence Chaplin,
for the purpose of defraudng his creditors
In the complaint filed yesterday judgment
for $1,000 is demanded on the note, and the
court is asked to declare as fraudulent the
transfer made by Chaplin to his wife and
to subject the same TO the claim of the
bank. The Union Trust Company is made
defendant to answer as to the shares of
stock In the Brazil Ice and Cold Storage
Company held by the trust company in
trust for Chaplin and wife.
1t was rumored yesterday that the stock
holders Of the Brazil Ice and Cold Stor-
age Company intend to lay certain facts in
reference to Chaplin before the Clay county
grand jury. 1t is claimed that while Chaplin
controlled an interest in the cold storage
company he converted about 5000 OF the
company'S funds to his own use. 1t is also
charged that Chaplin operated to some ex-
tent at Marion while connected with the
cold storage company. 1t is intimated the
Grant county grand jury may investigate
the manner IN which Chaplin procured a
loan of $500 of George w. Sweetser, of
Marion. 1t is claimed Chaplin realized but
little cash out of the sale of the Charlie
mont to Mr.. Foor. All that he received, it
is averred, was applied on his debts.

NEW CITY DIRECTORY.
A Feature in 1t That Adds to It's Con-
venience.

The new city directory just issued by r.
L. Polk & Co. contains a new feature of
great convenience to the public in it's street
directory. In one part of the directory is a
department where every street in the city
is given in alphabetical order and the num-
bers Of the houses on that street are in
dictated by the cross streets. Opposite these
numbers stand letters which show the
nearest street car line. For instance, if a
man wished TO find 1923 Bellefontaine street,
he would turn TO "Beilefontaine street in
the directory and find that 100 is at Seven
teenth street, and that the nearest car line
was ID" Turning TO the street car direc-
tory, few pages back he would find that
ID" stood for the College-aVenue car line.
As stated in The journal some time ago,
the new directory contains 70,@0 names,
which. on the basis of two and lhree-quar-
ter Inhabitants 20 each name. indicates a
population OF 1874, 700.
