VESTED WITH FULL POWER
The Duty is to Ascertain the Real
Needs of the Institutions of
the State.

The Indiana Legislative Commit
tee, which is visiting the States be-
nevolent, charitable and penal insti-
tutions for the purpose of investi-
eating the needs Of each and report
ing the results of their inspection to
the coming session of the General
Assembly will reach Richmond on
Wednesday or Thursday.
DR.. S. E. Smith, medical superin-
tendent of Easthaven, had not re-
ceived information up to last even
ing as to the time of the committee,
but according to information from
Indianapolis, it is the intention of
the committee to reach Richmond by
Thursday at the latest and probably
on Wednesday. Yesterday the COM
mittee began it's tour at Logansport,
where the Northern Hospital for the
Insane is located.
The committee is made up Of State
Senator Fremont Goodwine and Rep
resentative Sidney Cantwell, Repub-
licans, and Representative Honan,
Democrat, but as far as their politics
is concerned the members seem to be
all of one faith, for politics is not
mentioned. The committee was late
in reaching. the sLegansport
institution, so late that nothing was
done until afternoon.
Then the report Of Superintendent
Rogers to his board of trustees was
read over carefully, after which the
committee began its real work. This
is not "snooping' committee that
looks under ash barrels and into out
of-the-way places in hopes of finding
something that will be of political
advantage to some one, but its mem
bers 60 about in a business-like way
to ascertain what is needed so that
the institution may be better fitted
to take care of the unfortunate
wards of the State. DIR. Rogers
medical superintendent, and his as
sistants placed every possible facil-
ity at the disposal of the committee
that its work may be thorough. The
committee expected to finish its work
at Logansport last evening and &C
to Ft. Wayne today, to look after the
needs of the School for Feeble-mind-
ed Youth there. If this is done the
committee will be able to come tc
Richmond on Wednesday.

INSTRUCTIVE
ADDRESS
DELIVERED TO TEACHERS OF
CITY SCHOOLS BY
DOCTOR R. G. BOONE
On the Subject: 1.-Two Very Import
ant Aspects in Our Schools,
Seeing and Thinking
DOCTOR R. G. BOONE

DR.. R. G. Boone, formerly super
intendeent of the Cincinnati schools,
and now editor of Educator" a
monthly magazine published at Bos-
ton, Mass, gave a most instructive
address to the city teachers and pa
irons of the schools on the subject:
"Two Very Important Aspects in
Our Schools, Seeing and Thinking.'
He made very happy beginning
by stating that while some time had
elapsed since he was actively engag-
ed in work in this State, yet he had
many claims on the State and always
considered it an honor to be called a
Hoosier. He complimented the
school system of Indiana as being in
the forefront Of the best in the I'm
ion. If anybody knows, DR.. Boone
does, for he has written book on
the schools of the United States,
since which time even, he has spent
several years in making a study of
the best there is in education.
He said in part: 'Much education
is obtained out Of the schools. En-
erson has said: you send a boy to
the master but it is the children
that give him his lessons
He a~s9red to the fact that the
best educated man he ever knew
was an illiterate. He was honest,
transacted business in a most intel
lieent manner-was a good husband
and father-and really lacked moth
ing in transacting the affairs of life
and yet he was not educated in the
schools. What then is the school for
if the boy or girl can be educated
through other channels. 1t might
possibly be done away with, but in
such a case it would require three or
four thousand years to reach the
same results as now come through
! the schools. The school is a saver
of time. 1t brings about more
quickly because Of distinct methods,
that which otherwise could not cas-
lily be acquired. The school is worth
while because it adds to what one
gets out of school. The home is help
ed as well as the child, and thus
much time is gained in carrying out
the main purpose Of the school.
In referring to the two aspects OF
the schools, seeing and thinking, the

HENLEY ON
SITUATION
SAYS WESTERN LEAGUE WILL
NOW HAVE A MUCH BETTER
ALL THE PLAYERS
Will Revert to the Western League
According to the Consti-
tuition.
DURBIN THINKS Different
In His Opinion the Central League
Has Claim on the Indianapolis
Players.
DURBIN THINKS Different

M. c. Henley, president Of the
Richmond Athletic Association, and
vice president of the Western Lea
que, continues in the even tenor Of
his ways, notwithstanding the fact
that the Cohens have withdrawn
from the league.
"With Indianapolis out Of the lea
que We will have better circuit"
said Mr.. Henley yesterday afternoon
while engaged in the peaceful pur-
suit Of arranging reserved seat tick
els for Wednesday night game
"The truth Of the matter is there are
not enough star players for six clubs
and there lies the trouble. The fans
in each city in the league have been
educated up to the best in a polo
line and if one club proves to be in
ferior to the others the attendance
in the town that team represents
drops off. indianapolis had a team
that was not up to the standard of
the other clubs and the Cohens
couldn OF make good. They came to
the meeting on Sunday, I firmly be-
lieve, not with the intention of
dropping out Of the circuit, but with
the idea of bluffing the other clubs
into giving up some of their star
players to strengthen the Indians.
They had no suspicion that the five
other managers would call their
bluff and when they did the Cohens
had no other alternative except make
good their threat and withdraw.
ayes sir, Haughton will play with
Richmond. ! don't care what the
Cohens say The league did not give
them that player. We loaned him to
the indianapolis management and he
is still the property of this club.
The other players on the Indianapo-
lis pay roll belong to the league as Is
expressly stipulated in Rule Is, of
the Western League constitution,
which reads as follows:
"'In the event of the disbanding
of club from this association or
its withdrawal from the association
Or the loss of membership, the play
ers shall become the property of the
association and shall be disposed Of
as the association shall determine ,
The Western League will not put a
club in Indianapolis nor will Hanil-

old MURDERER
Is Being Investigated by the Brown
County Jury.

Columbus, Ind, November 2S.-
The Brown county grand jury is in
vestigating a murder which was COM
mitted over twenty-five years ago.
The jury will make its final report
next week, and an indictment is ex-
pected to be returned then. 1t was
twenty-five years ago last Septem-
ber that William Kelley was killed
in a melon patch near Nashville.
James S. Harding and his son Ed
ward were arrested for the crime,
and the elder man was tried by jury
and acquitted. The case as to the
other Harding was dismissed. The
affair passed into oblivion, and moth
ing more was heard of it until with
in the last few months, when the
! jury received information of a man
who is believed to have committed
the crime.

RESURRECTION
One of the Best Dramas Ever Seen
In Richmond.

To good sized audience, Miss
Blanche Walsh last evening at the
Gennett presented Resurrection, No.
a drama of modern Russia. To any
one with an ultra sensitive nature
the play would have proved often
sive, but to those of the audience
who were able to look at it from the
point of view intended by the author,
Count Leo Tolstoy, who is devoting
his life to the uplifting of his fellow
countrymen, it is a masterful pro-
duction, in fact, the best Of it
kind ever seen in this city. Miss
Walsh s portrayal of a respectable
peasant girl who sinks to the level
of street outcast and who is raised
again to respectability through the
efforts of the man who caused her
downfall, is par excellent. Mr.. AL
exander Won Mitzel, as "Prince
Dimitri Neckhindoff, shared honors
with Miss Walsh and with the star
was given several curtain calls.
William n. Wadsworth, as the
Merchant and Miss Helen Ware,
as "Princess Marie,' played their
parts most creditably. The remand
er of the supporting cast was very
good. The prison scene in act two
was dramatic in the extreme and
had it been intrusted to less polished
actors and actresses than Miss
Walsh and her company, it would
have been turned into lurid melo-
drama.

A Brief Address From the
- Platform.
: HON. WILLIAM D. F0ULKE
Boards the Special Train and Jour

Columbus, Ohio.


President Roosevelt and party
again passed through Richmond yes

Louis to Washington. The train left
the Exposition City Sunday evening

though there had been no announce
ment made of his coming.
The Hon. William Dudley Foulke,
ex-civil service commissioner and one
of Mr.. Roosevelt's closest friends,
boarded the presidential train at the

Gwendolyn, and were greeted hear
tily by the President, Mrs. Roosevelt

From the rear platform of the
train the President, after receiving
an enthusiastic greeting from the
crowd, made a short address. He said
that it was a great pleasure for him
to again be in Richmond and in Indi-
ana and remarked that it was his
purpose to gve the American people
an administration that would be a
period of prosperity and happiness
and an advancement for the nation.
Some ardent admirer in the crowd
wanted the President to shake hands
ly refused, saying that if he shook
hands with one man he would have
to shake hands with every one and
he did not have time to do thatSee-
ing cute looking baby in the crowd
held by its proud mother, a rare
smile Illuminated the countenance of
the chief executive and with a toss
of his hand he cried out "Hurrah
for the babies.' AS the train pulled
out of the station, every man, wom-
an and child in the crowd set up a
lusty cheer and with another beam
ing smile the President retired into
his car to resume his journey to the
East.

Nelson Will Give Corbett a Fight.

San Francisco, CAL, Nov. %
Fight followers who have been ar
irving here since yesterday from all
parts of the United States, do not
hesitate to express the opinion that
Young Corbett will not score a hol-
low victory over Battling Nelson
when the pair meet tonight at Wood
wards pavilion. Competent critics
who have been watching the action
Of Nelson during the past week say
that Corbett will have to be at his
best when he meets the "Danish
SIasher' More than usual in terest
attaches to the contest tonight. The
men are to fight for 55 per cent. of
the gate receipts, to be split 60 and
40. They are to weigh in at 6
o'clock this evening at 13O pounds.
Corbett is said to be in prime con-
dition and confident of victory, while
Nelson has been training hard with
Eddie Santry at Metzner's in Lark
spur. In his previous battles Mel
son has shown his ability to take
punishment patiently and wait for
an opportunity to take advantage of
any weakness that shows itself in an
opponent. He is easy to hit but not
in vital points. His favorite point
of attack is in the stomach.
Victory for Corbett tonight
means great things in future for
this popular boxer. He has in con-
temptation bouts with Terry Nc
Govern and Jabez White, the cham
pion lightweight of England.

Nothing has been heard of the
horse thief who stole horse from a

Before Mr.. Green met his tragic
death the plans for going ahead with
the Mount Popocatepetl enterprise
were pretty well matured, and Mr..
Holt went to Mexico to conclude the
preliminary steps of the transaction.
He is there now, and either has sue
cedeed in making the purchase of the
property or will succeed in so doing
within the next week or ten days.
Mount Popocatepetl has long been a
real estate possession in the family of
Gen. Gaspar Sanchez Genoa, a wealthy
gentleman whose home is in the City
of Mexico. He has been ready for some
years to sell it, but there were two OBJ
stacles in the way. One was that his
price for the property. 81. 50O,0 900 in gold,
was thought to be too high and the
other was that there seemed to be some
doubt as to a valid title Both these
impedimentS, it would now seem, nave
been removed.
III sulphur in the crater of Mount
P~opocatepetl, as in all other volcano

These stones must be lifted from the

deposits. These surplus deposits
are down in the water at a depth of
between 500 and 700 feet. Simple ma

a mile in diameter.
The ores will be conveyed by an

there is to be q hotel on n summit of

One of the last business enterprises
in which the late Andrew H. Green
was engaged was the organization of a
to exploit the great sulphur
deposits of Mount Popocatepetl. the
extinct volcano about sixty miles from
the City of Mexico. 1t vas announced
in the press dispatches a few days ago
that the purchase of the mining rights
had been accomplished by Charles
Holt on behalf of a New York mining
company.
1t was into Mr.. Hollis hand hat
Mr.. Green committed the task of max
ing an investigation of the sulphur
mine property and of it's commercial
availability. Mr.. Holt. who is a
mining engineer, spent something like
$4,000 in this inquiry. He visited
Sicily and other sulphur producing
countries and made a reDort as to the
cost of mining and marketing the sui
phur in each.
His report on the commercial side
of the question was that it cost up
wards of $3.50 a long ton to mine
and market the sulphur of Sicily,
which is about the most formidable
in the field. To mine and
