WILLHAYENOCOMPETITOR
BENJAMIN sTARR TO BE ELECTED
DEPARTMENT COMMANDER.
He Is Now IN Member of the Monumen
Board of ContrOl-Something
About Him.

When il was announced at the state
encampment Of the Grand Army at Logans-
port, nearly a year ago. that Benjamin
Starr, Of Richmond. would consent TO be a
candidate for department commander at
the encampment next week 1t was generally
understood that ne would have no COM
petitor. That he is the first veteran in the
history of the organization in Indiana who
has not had a competitor in some form Tor
the honorable position of department COM
mander is so remarkable as TO make some
notice of him a matter of general interest
Benjamin Starr, OF Richmond. was born
in that city May II. 1872. and has been a
resident of the town ever since, excepting
the period he was in the Union army. he
was the youngest of a family of five sons
and one daughter. In 1926 his parents came
TO Richmond and his father was a promi-
nent citizen. His ancestors were Friends
living in Philadelphia for several genera
tions, so that the man who will be elected
department commander by
when the encampment shall assemble may
be said to be a Quaker soldier with a long
line of Quaker ancestry.
Benjamin Starr enlisted in Company c.,
Second Indiana Cavalry, in August, 1861,
when nineteen years of age. He served
with that regiment in the field until Octo-
Der, 1862, when he was discharged for dis
ability. He was with the regiment in the

STATE CHARITIES BOARD
MICHIGAN CITY PRISON EVIDENCE Is
REVIEWED.
No Outline of the Report VIII BE Civ
EN- Out i'm Advance-Homes for
Poor Children.

All the evidence in the recent investiga-
ton of conditions at the Michigan City
prison. brought about by charges of DIR.
Brose Horne, was gone over yesterday by
the members Of the Board of State Chart
ties in session all day in the office of Secre-
tary Amos w. Butler. Governor Durbin
was present part Of the time, and other
members of the board who were there were
Timothy Nicholson, Demarchus c.. Brown,
William p. Cooper. sydney b. Davis. Mar
garet F. Peelle, Mary A, Sphinx and Secre-
tary Butler.
No report was made by the board on the
investigation. Secretary Butler made the
following statement: THE board consid-
cred all the testimony and within the next
few days will prepare its report to Gov
ernor Durbin.' Secretary Butler would not
outline the nature of the report.
Part Of the session was devoted to receiv-
ing reports from various committees. VIII
liam 3. S~treeter informed the board that
257 children placed in private homes during
the past thirteen weeks had been visited
and 25 are making satisfactory progress.
OF the others twenty-five are doing fair
ly we'll and twenty-nine are doing poorly
under new conditions. Applications to the
number Of 1| were received for children,
and all but thirty-nine Of these applica-
tons came from good homes. The board
placed III children in private homes during
the quarter, making 1,OG SO taken care of
since 1897.
Il would like to point out" said Secre-
tary Butler, in speaking OF the good re-
suits OF the system, that 70 per cent. of
these children are a credit TO themselves
and to the people who are caring for them.
Their charge is Off the shoulders of the
State and an annual saving of $4,000 is
thus made. Children who are placed in pri-
vate homes for the most part develop faster
Intellectually and morally than they would
in public institutions. The best place for
any child is a private home. The influence
OF home life can be gained In no other way.
OF course, you can't take a child out of the
gutter and put 1t in a refined home, and
right there is where public Institutions
come in. They prepare children for some
thing better, a new condition of life"
The board approved plans for the Board
of Children's Guardians Home to be built
in Terre Haute. The cost will be $4,000,
and the board is now advertising for bids.
Plans for new poorhouses TO be erected in
Tippecanoe, Fountain and Hamilton coun-
ties at a cost of $4,000 were also examined.
A report on smallpox conditions in the
Jefereonville R~eformatory was made.
There have been no new cases since last
Tuesday and the scOurge is well under con-
troll. Only one Of the cases has been seri-
Gus. There We're thirty-seven in all.

tutions were made and approved.

R WOMEN IN JAIL.
Mfas AbrOmet, Mrs. Herman and Mrs
Robinson Are Friendly.

Another day of Jail life passed yesterday
for Hortense Abromet. She has become
we'll acquainted with Mrs. Herman and
Mrs. Robinson. The three during the day
occupy Miss Abromet's cell and hold aloof
from the other prisoners. She is constantly
sending out notes to prospective bondsmen,
but to no avail. Her trial in Police Court
will be held this morning.
When the doors of the Jail were opened
yesterday a large bouquet of American
Beauty roses was placed on a stool outside
Miss Abromet's cell. There were also sew
eral packages of fruit and boxes of candy.
AbrOmet does not fail 10 say she is inno-
cent. She has many callers, but none of
them does she entertain for any length of
time.
Yesterday she received a letter from a
man in Piqua, o., named Harry Henning,
who asked her to marry him. When she
read the letter she buckle and said she
was not at this time pining for a husband.
She said she would rather have a good
meal. She is tired of the prison fare. Mrs.
Herman, who is charged with blackmail,
spends most of her time with Miss Abro-
met. When Miss Abromet received her
letter yesterday morning she at once
handed ii to Mrs. Herman. The two
laughed heartily over the affair.
Mrs. Herman does not seem excited over
the turn that her case has taken. She
denies having anything to do with trying
10 blackmail DR.. Stembel. She says her
love for him is too great to cause him any
annoyance. Yesterday, in talking to an
acquaintance, she desired it known pub
licly that her affection for the dentist was
greater than for her husband. She thinks
the grand jury will set her free.
