and Suggestion.

F. A. Cotton, superintendent of public in
struction. is doing everything possible to
arouse interest among the teachers and
pupils of the State in the ST. Louis EXPOSE
ton. In a bulletin issued yesterday he
says:
Indiana stands in the front rank in
educational affairs and if the schools are
fairly and honestly represented at the
worlds fair next year our citizens Will be
proud of the work and other States will
appreciate more fully than ever before that
the pride our citizens have In the public
schools is based upon the excellent school
system and the high efficiency of the
teaching forces of the State.
Each teacher should cooperate with
his county or city superintendent in pre-
pairing the best possible school exhibit.
The actual work in the preparation of the
material will mean much more to the
teacher and pupil than the exhibit itself.
A special bulletin is being prepared and
will be sent soon to each teacher by your
county superintendent"
In another circular Mr.. Cotton says: ut

made a proposition to Prosecutor Ira
Holmes and Gaylord r. Hawkins. assistant
deputy prosecuting attorney, yesterday aft
ernoon that the precinct returns be taken
from the locked boxes at the city clerks
office and the vote fer police Judge be re-
counted.
These boxes cannot be unlocked under the
law without an order from the Circuit
Court, and Judge Whallon said last night
that he thought Little and Polster made the
proposition to open the boxes in ignorance
Of the law. The matter probably will have
to be settled by the election commissioners
Mr.. Hawkins told Little and Polster as
soon az they made the proposition that the
boxes could not be opened. The defeated
Democratic candidate said that some of his
friends had again figured up the vote
yesterday and thought he had a plurality
Of ffty-nins votes over Judge Whallon.
GUARDED THE BOXES.
Fearing that Little and Polster might go
ahead and open the boxes containing the
precinct returns, Mr.. Hawkins telephoned
Sheriff Metzger and he sent several deputy
sheriffs to the city clerks office to see
that the boxes were not unlocked. Captain
Hyland, who IL superintendent pro tempore
OF the police department. sent Detectives
Holtz and Bray to the city clerks Office to
watch the boxes.
About 5 o'clock Deputy Prosecuting At
torney ira Holmes went to the city clerks
Office and remained there while Mr.. Haw-
kins hunted UP Pirtle Herod, a Republican
election commissioner. He went TO the city
clerks Office and with City Clerk Fogarty
put a seal on each Of the boxes containing
the election returns. Detectives were kept
in the city clerks office all night.
The hot discussion created a stir yester-
day evening. No one believed that crooked
work was attempted. but il was thought
best to preserve the inviolability of the
returns until the election commissioner
dispose of the matter once for all. The
prevailing impression was that Edward Lit
tie had been too strongly "jollied" by his
friends.

ARBOR AND BIRD DAY ANNUAL.


The State Department of Public Instruc-
ton yesterday issued the Arbor and Bird
Day Annual, a pamphlet of fifty pages con-
tanning matter pertaining to Arbor and
Bird day in Indiana and advocating its OBJ
servance by the schools of the State. In
addition, the pamphlet contains a number
of landscape views of the state forest re-
serve, taken by w. II. Freeman. as well as
interesting articles on tree planting, tree
culture and general forestry work through
out the State. prepared by him. The an
nual is submitted TO the teachers and the
school officers of the State.
The Introductory pages of the annual are
devoted 10 a short and interesting history
of Arbor day. The Governors proclama-
ton. setting aside April "a and Oct. %, 1908.
"a, arbor days, is also included in the
pamphlet. The last pages are given to n
biography of John James Audubon and a
history of the Audubon Society. with the
characteristics of the most common birds
of the State. Following is the history of
Arbor day as contained in the Annual:
THE first to call attention in this country
in an impressive manner TO the value and
need of trees because of their beauty and
adaptation for ornamental purposes and
their value TO all classes of people in gen
eral was Mr.. George Y. Marsh, who for
many years represented us at the courts OF
Italy and Turkey. 1t was during his resi-
dence at these places that he saw the needs
and the subject was impressed on his mind.
I'm Europe Mr.. Marsh found govern
ments making active endeavors at great
expense to renew forests which had been
greatly depleted. He found forests to be
the most cherished possessions and regard
ed as the most valuable product of the soil.
He also found schools and colleges estab-
lished for the training of the Ger for the
successful cultivation of forests. and saw
the growing of trees in forest masses re-
duced to a science and established as one
of the departments OF the government.
LIT was about this time that n practical
movement was inaugurated by the Hon. j.
Sterling Morton. then secretary of agricul-
ture. for tree planting i'm Nebraska. This
movement resulted in the establishment OF
Arbor day in the State of Nebraska"

Mrs. Clara Taylor, 2207 Yandes street,
was yesterday sent to the county Jail by
Judge Stubs. of the Juvenile Court, on a
charge of contempt. Mrs. Taylor has three
children whom the Board of Children's

VINCENT GINN's CRIME.


The Judgment sentencing Vincent CHM to
imprisonment for life for numbering Frank
Giltner was affirmed by the Supreme Court
yesterday. At the time of the murder Gilt
ner was employed as night superintendent
at the American Tin Plate Company's mill.
He was struck over the head with a piece of
gas pipe.
The evidence showed that CHM had taken
the piece of pipe from the mill, and, saying
TO some of the boys that If they would wait
a few minutes they would see some fun,
he hid in the passage way. When Giltner
came by and stopped CHM struck him on
the head with the pipe, the blow resulting
in his death.
Ginn's attorneys relied on a number of
alleged errors in the original evidence and
the instructions as grounds for reversing
the conviction. The court held, however,
that the record does not justify a reversion.

MUST RETURN TO PRISON
CHARLES BISSOw VIOLATED PAROLE
AND Is UNDER ARREST.
His AtrOcious Crime Twelve Years
Ago i'm This City RecalIed-StruE-
gle with Angry Mob.

Charles Bissow, a fugitive from justice,
was arrested yesterday afternoon by De-
t~ectives Asch and Manning and locked up
ut the police station. He will be held there
until his return to Michigan City. where he
is wanted for a violation of his parole from
the State Prison.
Twelve years ago Bissow was arrested
and locked up in the Marion county jail
which, at that time, stood in the court
house yard. and a mob of hundreds of peo-
pie clamored for his body. He was arrest
ed for a brutal assault on an eight-year-
old girl and SO atrocious was his crime
that the whole city was enraged.
Two mobs were organized. Under sep
arate leadership they marched to the Jail
and ordered the sheriff to turn the prisoner
over to them. Ropes were abundant in
the crowd and several unsuccessful at
empts were made to break down the Jail
doors. Captain Dawson. of the police de-
partment. was on hand a few moments
after the mob reached the Jail with a large
number of police and after "A fierce strug-
gle they succeeded in turning the angered
citizens away.
Bissow was arrested by Martin McGuff.
then a city patrolman, and at the time of
the arrest thirty or forty Infatuated men
m to wrest the prisoner from the
officer of the law. AT the Jail the mob was
violent and they were determined to have
the life of Bissow at any cost. Many prom
inent citizens addressed the great throng
of angry men. attempting to show them
the error of their plan of action, but their
words had little effect and not until a large
squad of police arrived on the scene did
they dispense.
Bissow was given a trial in the Criminal
Court and received a sentence of twenty
one years in the penitentiary, but after
serving eleven years of his time he was re-
leased on parole. Since his release he has
been working on a farm out of the city,
but some time ago. IL is said, he violated
his parole by not reporting TO the prison
authorities for his conduct and by allowing
himself To become identified with several
crooked transactions. He will be returned
to Michigan City, where he will be COM
PEELED TO serve out the balance of his
time.

FOR I~NCURABLES
THE NEW HOSPITAL HAS A MAGNIFI-
CENT WORK TO PERFORM.
Needs Of the Institution Outlined mt
n Meeting of the Flower
4 Mission.

An especially Interesting meeting of the
Flower Mission was held yesterday morn
ing at the almost completed hospital for in
curables erected ~ the society near the
City Hospital. The hospital is the accom-
plishmsnt OF what the Flower Mission
recognizes as one or the crying needs OF
the city-a place where patients with In
durable diseases may be received and made
at least comparatively comfortable. 1t is
earnestly hoped by the members that when
the work which the new hospital will do
among the sick poor of the city becomes
80 definitely established as TO demonstrate
1t an imperative necessity there will be adj
ditions to the building which. though COM
rlete In all its equipment, Is limited in the
matter OF accommodation.
The hospital is attractively planned and
the large rooms devoted to the mems and
women's wards at the opposite ends Of the
building are roomy, airy and the latter es-
pecially has a delightful outlook. There
are six private rooms, a large kitchen.
linen presses and other smaller rooms. The
entire building is surrounded by a wide
veranda. part of which is rooted with
glass. and al the doors and windows work
noiselessly. A most gratifying part OF yes
terday mornings reports was that all the
smaller rooms would be furnished as mem
orfals and that already more OF the friends
or the society have asked the privilege OF
furnishing the rooms than there are rooms.
The beds In the larger wards will also be
furnished by friends OF the society and
from the interest shown in the work there
IN no doubt that the entire equipment of
the building will be given by the friends
Of the mission. II Is hoped that the hos
pitsl will be ready for use by Thanksgiving
day. The management will be under the
control OF the Board OF Health, working
with q committee from the Flower Mission.
Mrs Victor Hendricks, president OF the
soctsty. presided yesterday and opened the
meeting with a prayer in which she voiced
the thankful sentiment OF the society at
the accomplishment OF It's purpose.
DR.. Paxton Hibben, OF the City Hospital
star. was present at the meeting to con-
fer with the members on the hospital ar
engagements and furnishings. The usual re-
ports OF the society officers were presented.
Mrs. W. z Miller read the quarterly report
OF the Eleanor Hospital showing an ex-
pense account OF S.s4e.12 for the hospital
In the past three months. Mrs. Ovid But
Ter Jameson presented the visitors report
OF the hospital. Miss Eleanor Retcham. a
graduate trained nurse, offered her serv-
ices to the Flower Mission TO oversee the
unframed women who are employed by the
society on those cases where nurses are
supplied. Her offer was accepted CRATE
fully by the society. as IL has long been the
desire Of the organization TO have some
such suneryfefO0 of their nurSeS
