Save Life.

tom of the elevator shaft in the Board OF
Trade building shortly after 6 o'clock yes
terday evening. w. "A. Thomas and John
Entwistle, employed in the building, dis
covered the body lying in a pool of blood
in the basement.
The boy was dead before an ambulance
could reach the place. Three boys in the
Dillon family nave met death in accidents
one, Thomas Dillon, was killed in a rail-
way accident in Illinois. two years ago.
The boys body was mashed, one leg was
nearly severed and his head crushed. How
the accident happened is a mystery. The
boy had bid goodnight to Entwistle and it
was thought he had gone home, until the
body was found.
1t is believed that the boy had returned
to the building after his dinner basket,
which was found in the room in which he
usually ate his lunch The superstition is
that he started to the top floor on the
elevator and was caught between the cage
and the walls of the shaft.
No cry was heard by the men in the
building, but there was a crashing noise
as though the elevator had fallen. The
walls of the building on the second floor
were bulged out and the plaster cracked,
caused by the body being crushed into the
wall by the elevator cage.

COMMERCIAL CLUB HEARS
, ADDRESS BY HON.. A. c. HARRIS
Former Diplomat Discusses the
Trade Conditions in Austro-
Hungary.
COMMITTEE IS ACTIVE

That the new membership committee of
interests of the organization was evidenced
last night by an unusually large attend
ance at the smoker given by the club when
between 200 and $50 attended. The assembly
room and corridor were filled. The occa-
sion was an address by Addison C. Har-
rs on the Trade Relations of Austria and
Hungary"
In the absence of the president and vice
president of the club. Judge Gavin presided.
In introducing Mr.. Harris he was spoken
of as a man who represented the city, State
and Nation. and in so doing had not only
brought honor to himself. but to his city,
State and Nation.
Mr.. Harris attributed the lack of stand
ing and prominence of Austria and Hungary
with other nations to their lack of inter-
national trade and commerce. 1t was shown
that an exchange of products between ma
lions was essential to commercial progress
The forests of Hungary were thought by
the speaker to be the finest in the world.
and the system of perpetuating them was
spoken of in the highest terms. Whenever
land proves to be unproductive the govern
ment forest inspector orders a forest
planted. which is cared for and tended just
as carefully as the crops.
The same is true of the mountain side.
The well-preserved roads that were found
and the beautiful forest scenery was COM
pared to some of the most beautiful parks
found in the United States.
The Dudley Buck Quartet furnished the
music and after the address the smoker
was turned into a social gathering. Light
lunch was served in the club dining room.
Since the new organization of the Com
mercial Club sixty new members have been
secured.

forest reserve in Henryville, Clark county,
is alluded 10. The report IL illustrated with
half-tone pictures of the reserve and other
details of the work are shown by drawings

Mr.. Freeman shows himself an expert
enced arboriculturist in his description of
the different methods which should be en-

scribed in detail.

PRAYER DISCUSSED
BY EVANGELIST GRAY
Lords Prayer Used as Text by DR..
James M. Gray at Presby-
terrain Church.

A number of local ministers attended the
services of DIR. James NJ. Gray at the First
Presbyterian Church last night. DR.. Gray
used the Lords Prayer for his text and at
tempted to show his congregation wherein
they were weak in making prayer.
He said: Ito be strong We must all as
sumo the right attitude when in prayer.
This attitude is the attitude of w%orshipful-
ness and of admiration. We must also
have the right spirit in prayer. We must
have the spirit OF love, the spirit of holiness
and the spirit of trust"
In repeating the Lords Prayer it was a
noticeable fact hat instead of saying Keep
us from evil" DR.. Gray would say Keep
us from the evil one," showing that he be-
lieved in a personal devil.
Clifton Powers, the singing evangelist,
assisted DR.. Gray in the services. DR.. Gray
had the congregation to read responsibility
from the Bibles which he had requested
them TO bring. Services will be held at the
same church this evening.

NO DANGER FROM SUITS BY
SCHOOLbOOK COMPANIES
Action as Bidders on Million-Dol-
lar Contract Blocks Litigation
on Illegality Grounds.
ACTION IS NOT FEARED

Members of the State Board of Education,
who were seen yesterday. discussed the re-
port that injunction suits would be brought
against the board by several schoolbook
publishing firms. who were unsuccessful in
obtaining contracts for State supplies this
week when awards were made. While rep
r~esentatives of Eastern publishing firms
were in the city they based complaints
upon an opinion Of the attorney general,
who ruled that the recent revision of the
schoolbook list was legal and that on
further action was necessary. 1t was at
first planned to allow the former purveyors
of the States schoolbooks TO revise their
works and continue 10 supply the revised
books.
Then the plan was made TO award the
contracts To new bidders. Ii is said the
protesting firms based their claims for suits
on the illegality of this procedure. But they
recognized its legality by bidding on the
new contracts. thus invalidating any claims
they might have against the State.

were not paid and that there was danger
OF the property being seized for back taxes
by the authorities, which action would
greatly damage the value of the assets
The Court appointed Lemuel barrow, of
Laporte. and Fred r. Fitch. of Chicago. as
receivers. They will operate the road. They
are required 10 give bond in the sum of
$4,000 and TO file each month with the clerk

Il served the warrant on him and 1
swore TO the warrant. hat is all l know
of the case" was the evidence furnished by
the Hoffman administration to Prosecutor
Holmes yesterday afternoon in the case
of the State against Jerry Gates and others.
The evidence was given by Patrolmen
Kitzmiller and Larsh. who, at the order
of chief of Police Kruger. after a consul
tation with Mayor Hoffman, swore to the
warrant and served it.
The warrant prepared by the superintend-
ent of police and the p~atrolmen charges
Jerry Gates with violating the Nicholson
law on Feb. rs and not between the hours
of IL and 5 o'clock as per one of the statutes.
Journal reporters m by the adj
ministration 10 testify were on the stand
and told their stories.
The first witness, by questioning of both
the state and defense, was able TO tell TO
the jury impaneled from a select few, most
ly professionals" that ii was not a "trip
of persecution as termed by the defense,
but simply to find out If there was any
truth in the general report that indianapolis
is wide open" under Mayor Hoffman.
In answer to the question: "Who fur
nished you the list of names and the places
to visit?" the witness said:
1.-THE list was given to me from my office
and the instructions were to not attack the
legitimate saloon interests, but to see if
the saloons where women congregate were
open and selling liquor"
The witness told of purchasing beer. 1t
was the understanding hat patrolmen who
were acquainted with the previous bad
regulations of Burkhardts and Fletcher
and the Hotel Savoy would be called to the
stand. but this order was countermanded
from headquarters.
Handicapped, as he was, Prosecutor
Holmes built up a good case. The jury,
after a short conference, found Jerry Gates
not guilty.
