MAY RESTORE SYSTEM.
University Faculty Considering
AboIishing s.IncomnIete, system.

AVS581sIlA N = 1IhVUasiI5It-te > sysIVln.
A movement is on foot among the facul-
of 'nicompletes' abolished last winter.
1t Isl thought that the recent wholesale
f1rnking of the lower classes has been
mere or less attributable to the abolish
ment of the incomplete" and many of
tho faculty are set against the recur-
renee Of these unfortunate proceedings.
On the other hand it is said that the
incomplete which is merely less
strenuous form of the condition. tends
rather to aggravate poor scholarship than
to better it, as the students take advan-
tage Of the laxity Of the law to spread
out their work over the entire year to
suit their own convenience. The opinion
of the faculty is understood to be di-
viGed in the matter.

DEDICATION OF CHURCH
THREE SERVICES HELD AT THE
SIXTH CHRISTIAN.
Nearly All the Pastors of that De-
nomination i'm the City Took
Part in the Services.

The Sixth Christian Church, at Elm and
Pine streets, was formally dedicated yes
terday at three services-morning, after
noon and night. At a cost of S45C0 the
congregation has remodeled and refur-
nished the building. doubling its seating
capacity and improving its appearance. The
services yesterday were for the purpose
partly of raising money by subscription to
cover the expense of Improvement. In all
S3.i31 was raised. F. NJ. Rains, of Gin
cinnati, corresponding secretary of the
Foreign Missionary Society, dedicated the
building and had charge of the work of
securing subscriptions. He preached at all
three services. Even with the new extern
sion the church was too small to hold all
the people who desired 10 attend the dedi-
cation srvices and hundreds were turned
away.
At the morning service, in addition to
musical programme, including a solo by
Mr.. Joseph Parsons, Mr.. Rains preached on
1.-The Kingdom of Cod" In the afternoon
service pastors of other Christian churches
took part. The Rev. Carlos c. Rowlison
and the Rev. A b. Philputt made short
talks. Mr.. Philputt administered the COM
munion. Congratulatory remarks were
made by G. NJ. Anderson, j. NJ. Garfield,
d. r. Lucas, b. L. Allen, n II. Shepard,
F. w. Norton, A B. Philputt, G. c. Row
lison, S. ]. Tomlinson, s. n. Brown and
others. At the evening service Mr.. Rains
spoke on the futility of churches or indi-
viduals attempting TO fix for themselves
creed rigid and unchanging. mo man
knows" said he, what he may believe to-
morrow. II is the law of life that our ideas
develop broaden and change as we grow
in years and experience. Nothing could be
more absurd than TO attempt to write in
a book just what constitutes the Christian
religion, or set belief in any one doctrine.
In 1910, in England men tried to do that,
and the result was utter failure. L have
myself preached sermons that l would not
attempt TO preach to-day. Fifteen years
ago. ten years ago, / said things and be-
Iieved things that l would hesitate to as
sert or put credence In now.
Mr.. Rains, at the close of his sermon,
asked for another 500 the subscription
list, and the money was secured In few
minutes. The Sixth Christian Church now
has an active membership of $50 and the
congregation is increasing rapidly.

HIS WIFE'S ARGUMENT.
1t Gave Special Agent Rathbons
Something to Think About.

Samuel B. Rathbone, special agent in
charge of the middle division of. the rural
free delivery, has recently purchased a
house in this city and moved his family
from Elizabeth, w. Va, where he formerly
resided. The other day when he went home
TO his family and while engfossed in the
evening meal his wife after some contem-
plation looked up into Mr.. Rathbone's face
and said in a droll manner: Sam, 1 don't
believe this rural free delivery business is
any good. 1 think IT is going to ruin the
country" Mr.. Rathbone could hardly wait
until his wife had finished the remark until
he asked why Mrs Rathbone then con-
tinued by telling her husband that she had
been in the habit of paying 30 cents for
countryman living some distance out in
the country. The district in which the
countryman lives has recently been served
by the rural free mail carriers, and the
other day when he came into the city with
his usual load of produce he made his way
to the Rathbone home, but when he tried
to dispose of his goods he told Mrs. Rath-
bone that chickens had increased in price
and were now worth so cents. Eggs had
also risen and were selling at Is cents. She
asked the man the reason why and he re-
piled that since the introduction. of rural
free delivery in his section of the country
he had begun to read the Indianapolis Jour
nal and by looking over the market reports
he was able TO keep up with current prices.
Mr.. Rathbone bad no reply handy

COUNCIL MEETING TONIGHT.
The Controller VIII Ask Appropria-
ton to Eauip Engine Houses.

At a regular meeting of Council tonight
Controller Breunig will ask for an appro-
priation to equip and furnish the three
engine houses recently completed. Another
ordinance may be introduced to provide
money for the keeping of a chemical COM
pany i'm Irvington for the next nine months.
The controller will not ask Council tonight
for money for the two engine houses to be
built in the near future, one for Irvington,
the other for South Indianapolis. If the
committee on contracts and franchises sue
ceeds in getting together the ordinance
granting a franchise TO the Shelbyville q
Southeastern Traction Company will be
acted on. Councilman Cooper wishes TO
compel the company to stop all OF It's cars
at street crossings, while the draft of the
present ordinance provides only that regu-
lar cars shall be stopped. The ordinance
may be amended in accordance with Mr..
Cooper's suggestion. The stockyards ordi-
nance, which was unfavOrably considered
by the committee. will be voted on tonight
and probably rejected. The committee on
public safety and comfort has decided that
IL would be a blow to competition In stock
dealing in Indianapolis. No action will be
taken on Billingsleys measure to secure a
uniform standard and inspection of scales
weights and measures, the committee de-
string more time to go into the provisions
of the instrument A number Of smaller

BLOOM RETURNS TO JAIL
WHEN HE FOUND HE HAD BEEN IN
DICTED HE SAVE HIMSELF UP.
n Prisoner, Indicted for Burglary and
Grand Larceny, shows Himself
TO he Honest.

William Bloom, under indictment for
burglary and grand larceny displayed
spirit of honesty yesterday when he re-
turned to the county Jail and gave himself
UP after having been given a splendid OPP
portunity to escape.
During the reading Of the indictments In
the Criminal Court room Saturday Blooms
name was read. Philip ShObe, a colored
boy sitting in the dock beside Bloom, was
dismissed by the grand jury and when the
colored boys name was read Bloom. by
an error of the ear. thought his name was
read among those that had been dismissed.
Bloom. without interference on the part
OF the court officers, walked out of the
court room and returned to the Jail and
asked for his clothing. He told Turnkey
Kurtz that he had been discharged be-
GAUGE the grand jury had failed to indict
him. Kurtz gave Bloom his belongings and
the young man left the jail. He hurriedly
returned to his home and gleefully informed
his family that he he'd been acquitted.
When adjournment was announced in the
Criminal Court and the officers gathered
their prisoners together to return them to
jail Bloom was missing and Shobe, who
thought Bloom name was also Shobe. re-
manned in the dock. He made inquiries
about his case and was told that he had
been dismissed 1t was then that Bloom
was discovered among the missing The Of
hcers thought Bloom had tricked them and
had escaped.
Yesterday Bloom learned that he was
among those indicated by the grand jury
and had not been dismissed He at once
went to the county jail and inquired about
his case there The tailer then in charge
OF the Jail could give him no information
and Bloom went to Prosecutor Ruckleshaus
and the latter told him that he had been
indicted. Bloom Immediately retraced his
steps to the Jail and gave himself up.
