Brighter Outlook for the College

Its Long Existence.
SPLENDID NEW LIBRARY
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
RICHMOND. Ind, Jan. 3.-Earlham Col
lege will resume sessions for the winter
term on Monday with an outlook that is
brighter than the last one was. And this
is saying much, in view of the fact that
the past term was considered the best in
the history of the institution. The dormi-
tory will have more students while the
number of day students will be somewhat
diminished. At the close of the fall term
two weeks ago applications were already
in for all the vacant rooms.
Lessons will be assigned Monday and the
actual work will begin Tuesday morning.
All students are expected back Monday
in order to be ready for Tuesdays work.
No changes will take place in the cur
riculum. 1t is probable hat some of the
hours for recitation will be changed to
suit the demands of the students. During
this term much work will be done in the
laboratories because conditions are such
as TO prevent outside work.
Several changes will take place in the
faculty. Prof. Harlow Lindley. who was
granted a leave of absence last October to
finish some important work in the Univer-
sity of Chicago, will be back. He Will take
charge of part of the history department.,
III WHICH lie IL assistant liSlIuClOl. IL 10
also librarian of the college and will be
at the head of that department. To ac-
commodate the growing demands OF the IL
brary for shelves several new bookcases
were placed in position during the holidays.
The library is now in a very crowded con-
dition and is one of the problems that con-
fronts the school management. Last year
during commencement time the Alumni AS
sociation considered the matter OF a IL
brary fund and took favorable action
upon it.

OFFICIAL WASHINGTON
TAKES 4 GLOOMY VIEW

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Cablegrams re-
ceyed here to-day from Toxic show the
situation in the Tar East to be unchanged.
and at a late hour tonight il was declared
at the japanese legation that nothing had
occurred 70 dispel the gloomy view taken
there Of the prospects for s"sace. The fact
that Mr.. Takahira, the Japanese minister,
regards the situation as extremely critical
does not prevent him hoping that a way
may yet be found by which the questions
between Russia and Japan may yet be
settled without recourse TO arms. The Jap
anese government. II IS said. is not anxious
for war, and throughout the negotiations
have endeavored to repress all war talk.
japan, ii is added. will await patiently the
Russian reply. and will not delay after re-
cetvtng the note IN announcing her future
course. II is said that substantial conces-
eionS must be forthcoming from Russia in
Korea that Will Offset the jurisdiction which
Russia claims in Manchuria If war is to be
averted- The Russian government has been
urged TO reply promptly.

of the company
Beginning at 9 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing Coroner Traeger and the jury impaneled
to sit at the inquest will resume their task
of collecting evidence in the theater build
ing. An exhaustive examination of the
building will be made and particular atten-
ton will be paid TO any violations of the
building ordinances that may be found. In
accordance with the request Of the members
of the jury all sightseers and even watch
men will be excluded from the building
while the examination is in progress. The
jury has said TO the coroner that they do
not wish any person to hear of the questions
that they may put TO anybody, as they fear
publicity will interfere with the thorough
ness of the inquiry.
OF UNLIMITED SCOPE.
Because of the unlimited scope that the
coroner intends to give to the investigation,
it is expected that the work of taking testi-
mony will consume several weeks. Con-
tractors and all others who can give ex-
pert testimony will be summoned, and the
coroner to-day issued a notice to all per-
sons who were in the theater and who
made their escape that he would be glad
to have them appear and give their evil
dence.
From all indications the meeting of the
City Council tomorrow night will be taken
up entirely with the introduction Of reso-
tions relating 10 the fire in the Iroquois
Theater. Ordinances will be presented COW
ering almost every imaginable detail OF the
management and equipment of a theater.
Alderman Dunn Will introduce an ordinance

Mayor Harrison said tonight:
Il intend TO hold a mee.ng I'm my office

EPIDEMIC OF MEASLES
SUDDENLY BREAKS OUT
St. Joseph's Orphanage Visited by
a Severe Attack OF the Annoy

CONFINED TO THE HOME
specIal to the IndIanapOlis journal.

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE. Ind, Jan. 3-Measles in a
severe form nave broken out at the st.
Joseph's Orphans Home in this city, it
being announced to-day by the manage
ment that sixty out of the 159 boys and
girls at the institution are afflicted with
the disease. The startling announcement
was supplemented by a statement made by
Father Charles Guendling, superintendent
of the home, in which he said that there.
was little hope Of checking the epidemic
until it had run its course and every in
mate of the Orphanage had been seized
with the malady. The disease first made
its appearance two weeks ago, but, as only
a few of the boys were taken i'll. the or
phanage management did not feel much
concern. However. precautions were taken
to prevent an epidemic. In spite of these.
the disease spread, and child after child
was added to the list of sick, which grew to
such an extent a few days ago that the
Sisters of st. Francis. who manage st.
Elizabeth's Hospital. sent nurses to care
for the afflicted children.
At present the home is a veritable hos
pital, with several nurses and doctors in
charge.
A number of boys who nave become
skilled in caring for the sick are aiding
the nurses, and in this way the wants of
the sufferers are carefully looked after. On
account of the limited dormitory space at
the orphanage, it is practically impossible
to prevent a further spread of the disease.
The boys sleep in well-ventilated rooms.
and the sanitary conditions are excellent:
nevertheless, there is no way of isolating
the afflicted ones, and one by one the re-
naming children are breaking out with the
disease. Doctors say that. although the
epidemic is one of the severest they have
ever seen, there is not much danger of the
cases proving fatal.

LEGATIONS 1T PEKING
EXPECT 4 VAR SOON

PEKING. Jan. 3.-In the various foreign
legations here the opinion Is prevalent that
war between Japan and Russia is inevitable.
This opinion is based on the latest dis
patches from Toxic and on the conviction
hat it is not a question OF detail which
separates Russia and Japan. but the vital
principal as 10 whether Japan possesses
the right 10 q voice in the settlement Of
questions connected with the Russian Occu-
patton Of Manchuria. Russia all along has
denied this right and unless her reply shows
that she has receded from this position,
which IL not expected TO be the case, IL prob
ably will provoke an ultimatum from Japan,
whose determination 10 resort 10 arms in
support OF her claim is unquestiOned.
While the government IS determined TO
remain neutral as long as possible, il fully
recognizes the possibilities Of becoming in
volved IN the event Of war.

WELL FOR OIL
LEASES FROM FARMERS
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, Ind, Jan. 3.-In the past six
months there has been a decided change
in the method of leasing farm land in Della
ware county for oil and gas well drilling
purposes. At the present time landowners
are getting a great deal more for leases on
their property than formerly. Now 1t is
no occurrence for landowners
to get 81 to $40 an acre for sixty to ninety
days as lease money. This amount is paid
for entire farms, and not merely for we'll
sites. Three years ago leases could be Sc
cured for 80 cents an acre or less, annual
rent. Better prices and shorter time are
now the rule. This condition has been
brought about by the rapid development of
the field in this vicinity and the substantial
earnings made by the lessons.
