HEAVY RAIN AND Wind

AT 10 o'clock yesterday morning the tenn
ing point and remained there until the
early part of the afternoon, when the sun
came out and the thermometer crawled
slowly back until at 4 o'clock it had
reached its maximum point 'of 60. The
rain and cutting wind that visited the city
yesterday morning was responsible to a
great extent for the cold and disagreeable
atmosphere. The temperature lacked 10 de-
grees at its minimum of reaching the freez-
ing point, but the cold rain and wind made
people imagine that it would be sleeting
before night. The wind came from the
northwest and brought the rain with it.
About noon both subsidized and the Their

wards the freezing point. The weather bu-
reau reports that to-day will be fair with
continued cool winds.
As a result Of the heavy rain in the early
part of the day Woodruff Place was we'll
supplied with water yesterday, so much so
that a number of the officials of the suburb
decided II was a good time to remove the
nonproductive water plugs that line the
drives. The fire department had warned
the residents that serious trouble might
result from these dummy plugs in case of
fire. Consequently 1T was decided to re-
move the plugs yesterday after the storm.
A man and Il Sledge were brought into
service, but with the first blow the plug
gave way and a veritable volcano of water
almost submerged workmen and spectat-
ors. The Indiana Water Company was
Immediately notified and Woodruff's sup

tire morning until the plug was mended.

The board considered a complaint against
a stone coping which has been built around
j. M. Dalarymple's property at the south
west corner of Park avenue and Thirteenth

granted permits for stone coping to be
built around several properties on Park av-
enue and Broadway. The city engineer
was Instructed TO look into the matter.

The city engineer was instructed to look

The USE OF CIGARETTES
BOARD OF PROBATION OFFICERS
DISCUSS THE SUBJECT.
High Percentage of Boys Attending
BENJAMIN Harrison School Adj
dfcted to the Habit.

The Board of Probation Officers held an
important meeting yesterday in the Juve-
nile Court room. The subject under dis
cussion was the formulation of some plan
by which the cigarette nuisance could be
abated. The courtroom was crowded with
representative men AMI women of this city
who are advocating the reform. Oliver II.
Carson. an attorney, talked to the board
on the legal phase of the situation, call
ing the boards attention to the State stat
ute which prohibits the sale of cigarettes
or tobacco in any form to minors. DR.. Nor
man f. Jobes, former superintendent of the
City Hospital, spoke on tobacco from a
medical standpoint DR.. Jobes thought that
the effects which the use of tobacco pro-
duced. wrecking the nervous system and
weakening the mind. was caused by the
narcotics the tobacco contains. Some OF
the other members of the board thought
the worst effect produced by the use of
cigarettes was caused by the burning pa
per, the fumes entering the lungs and
thereby weakening them.
Miss Margaret Hamilton, principal of the
Benjamin Harrison School,, at Delaware
and Walnu streets, spoke of the effect the
use of tobacco has upon the pupils in her
school. Miss Hamilton said that she went
to one of the schoolrooms, and after dis
missing the girls, asked the boys, twenty
one in number and whose ages range be-
tween ten and fifteen years, how many OF
them used cigarettes. There were four
teen out of the twenty-one who smoked
them Miss Hamilton further said that She
had been making a close study Of the ques-
ton among her pupils and finds that those
who are addicted to the use of tobacco are
very poor students and unable to keep up
with their classes.
The Rev. William b. Farmer, pastor of
the Wesley Chapel. New York street and
Elder avenue, who was appointed at the
last meeting of the board to investigate
the extent of the use of cigarettes In rail-
road corporations, read a letter from the
general manager Of the Rock Island road
which stated that the use of cigarettes
among it's employees was strictly prohib-
tied. The majority of the railroads will
not employ a man who is addicted to the
use of cigarettes.
The Rev. Allen B. Philputt, chairman Of
the board. appointed a committee COM
posed of Mr.. o.. II. Carson, the Rev. w. b.
Farmer and Miss Hamilton to formulate
some plan by which the cigarette evil may
be -exterminated. 1t is the purpose of the
board to. place the matter before the par
ents of these cigarette smokers, for the
board believes that many OF the parents
are ignorant of the fact that their children
are addicted to the cigarette habit.

F. A. COTTON SPEAKS.
F. A. Cotton. of the department Of pub
lie instruction. characterized the ideal
superintendent. He said this official must
do a work that will fit boys and girls for
real life and an education that will do this
will fit them for college life. There are a
large number of boys and girls who get no
further than the common schools and then
they must go out in the world. The schools
must prepare them for this struggle. II
believe the superintendent must become a
missionary" said Mr.. Cotton. He said
that sometimes young teachers fail be-
cause they are unable TO govern a school,
perhaps from lack Of experience. In such
cases, Mr.. Cotton thought, the superin-
tendent could do a good thing by trans-
ferring pupils that give trouble TO another
school. The superintendent should not go
into the schoolroom and criticise without
has failed because she did not receive the
proper encouragement at the right time.
There is no teacher" said the superintend-
ent, II care not how much OF a failure she
is, that has not one or two good points,
and she should receive encouragement on
account of them"
Superintendent w. H. Wiley, of the Terre
Haute schools. briefly discussed Mr.. Cot
toms suggestions. He declared that the
superintendent should never feel discour-
aged. He should remember that the nearer
a man or a woman is to the load the more
lifting they must do. The superintendent
must weigh matters well before he decides
q case. He must be full OF plans and sug-
gestions for the trustees. The wise super
intendent is always ready to hear the other
side of the question. Mr.. Wiley believes
that somewhere there Is a teacher strong
enough for the poorest or worst pupil. He
believes a great deal in affinity. He thinks
the wise superintendent is always striving.

GREBE is VERY ELUSIVE
SHERIFF METZGER UNABLE TIC
REACH HIM WITH A SUMMONS.
Creditors Have Applied for n Receiver
for q Company i'm Which He
Is Interested.

Robert Metzger, sheriff of Marion county,
has been very busy lately trying to locate
Charles Grebe, OF 66 East Tenth street.
Grebe was a partner with Arthur B. Ling
enfelter and his brother, Elmer G. Ling
e~nfelter, in the Sensitive Machine Supply
Company. The two Lingenfelters went out
of the business some time ago and sold
their stock to Grebe. who agreed to pay
the debts of the partnership.
On Oct. II the Cicero Glass Company,
which is a creditor of the Sensitive Ma
chine Supply Company, instituted proceed
ings against the company In Judge Leath-
ers's court and asked for a receiver. A
summons was issued to the sheriff to serve
upon Grebe for his appearance in court,
but the sheriff has never been able to To-
cate him. Reports came to the court that
Grebe returned to his home about mid
night each night and the sheriff was di-
rected to go TO his house at that time.
After two or three nights the sheriff told
the judge that he had been unable to find
Grebe. Judge Leathers has suggested that
Grebe's wife be summoned i'm order to as
certain her husbands whereabouts.

The Useful Beech Cad.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Ii is surprising to note the many sugges-
tons. coming even from professors of col
leges and other eminent persons. on the
cigarette evil among boys Of tender age.
How best to induce boys under age to
forego the evil habit has racked the brain
of many Of the most learned men and
women of the country. The most simple,
and yet most effective, remedy, as we'll as
one which seldom falls as a preventive in
such cases has been entirely overlooked.
In all families where there are boys grow
ing up, and who disobey their parents in
this respect as well as many others. a
well-seasoned beech CAD should be kept
constantly or hand. As regards the cigar
cite habit more especially, this CAD should
be brought into play and used vigorously
and often. As n preventive such a simple
method will prove more effective than the
most learned article that has yet appeared
on the subject. ".

One OF the most interesting papers of
the evening was by +. l.. Hendricks. of the

MR.. HENRRICKS'S PAPER
The letter follows:
Dear Mr.. Hendricks-We were not
pleased with your personal appearance
when you first came 10 our city. We knew
by the cut OF your coat that you were our
new superintendent. You retained the ear
marks OF the profession by which every
citizen In town knew you as you walked
the streets. We would not have you lose
your dignity as did your fellow-superin-
tendent who was mistaken for a sporting
man. But We wish you could appear in the
best society without exciting

education you were "A gentleman of culture

amino the InStitutiOn.


Before Mayor Hoffman and the Board
of Health make a recommendation to
Council for a special appropriation with
which to repair and remodel the City Hos
pital, the board will employ a contractor
to examine the condition of the institution.
He will make a report to the board and
the mayor and the members of the board
will then estimate how large an expendi-
ture is necessary at this time to put the
hospital in reasonably good shape for the
winter. Mayor Hoffman made this an
nouncement last evening.
The Board of Health probably will not
employ a contractor to examine the City
Hospital for a week or two, and so the
needs OF the institution will not be pre-
scented to Council for several weeks. Prac-
tically all of the repairs to be made this
fall are on the interior and this work can
be done after cold weather sets in. Before
the hospital matter is taken up again the
mayor says he wants to get the ~pesthouse
matter off his hands.
