FORCE OF COLD WAVE
HAS BEEN FULLY SPENT
No Immediate Recurrence of Bad
Weather Conditions Ex-
pected Locally.
TRAIN TRAFFIC BETTER

AS was expected by the Weather Bureau,
zero weather was reached Wednesday
night, but there will be no immediate re-
currence of the cold wave. which has now
all but spent its force. Snow fiurries may
be expected in northern portions of the
State, while rain would cause no surprise
in southern Indiana, If the present modera-
ton is continued. Vigilance among those
interested has not relaxed. and the danger
OF floods causes much apprehension.
Trains yesterday from the West were de-
layed at the Union Station but slightly,
and they arrived. in several instances. on
time.
With Eastern trains it was different No.
q, the Panhandle st. Louis Limited from
New York, was six hours late, and other
west bound trains were from two to four
hours late, due to weather conditions.
Locally, traffic suffered no inconvenience
yesterday on account OF the weather, and
as rapidly as possible snow has been
cleared away where IL has proved an OBJ
struction. Much better conditions are in
sight as long as the present cold weather
continues. and, except flood danger, moth
ing is feared.

WAY PAVED FOR SHORTER
COURSE IN MEDICINE
Indiana Students VIII Have Same
Advantages as Those in Other
States.
MEDICAL BOARD MEETS

II the plan agreed upon by members Of
the State Board of Medical Registration
at a meeting last night at the Claypool is
adopted by the colleges and universities of
the State it will be possible for the man
or woman desiring to become a physician
10 secure literary education as we'll as a
medical one in six years.
This plan is now followed in universities
of many States, and has proved successful,
In Indiana, at this time. in order to gain
the degrees of b. S. and NJ. D.. the student
must spend seven years in college. four in
literary studies and three in medical pur-
suits.
PRELIMINARY STUDY NEEDED.
1t is the opinion of members of the board
that every candidate for the NJ. d. degree
should first have completed a course in
some good college, university, or, in the
larger cities, the high schools when well
equipped. 1t is believed that, if the plan
Is adopted. many students will be saved to
the schools Of this State who would, under
the present system, attend school in some
other State where the six-year course has
been adopted.
The following statement was issued by
the members of the board last night.
Graduates OF regularly established
university or college of arts or science. or
college of dentistry. that requires at least
three years attendance as essential to
graduation, or students presenting satisfac-
tory certificates from a recognized univer-
sity or college of art science requiring
four years as essential to graduation, of
having completed three years of such
course. may be admitted to the sophomore
year of a four-year medical course in a
recognized medical college; provided such
applicant has complied with the entrance
requirements of this board as herein men
toned.
CONCESSIONS MUST BE MADE.
but such student must complete all the
work of the freshman and sophomore years
before he can be advanced to the junior
year in said medical college,
Every effort will be made to have the
plan universally adopted In this State. A
member of the board said last night:
while it means that both sides will have
to make some concessions, we will do every
thing TO have the plan Il success. Indiana
students should have the same advantages
as students of other States"
In every literary college or university
during the senior year the fundamental
principles of medicine are taught. The sub
jects taught are practically the same as
those in a regular medical college.

COMMANDER OF FIL|PINOS
IS GUEST OF GOVERNOR
Indiana Regular Army Officer
Will Bring Native Charges to
Worlds Fair.
AT PHILIPPINE VILLAGE
Lieutenant Fathers Plan to RevO-
lutionize Army Merit System
for Philippine Veterans.

Lieut. Charles Z. Dority, after four
years and four months of service with
the regular army in the Philippines, has re-
turned TO his native State, Indiana. for
three months leave, and is the guest for
the next few days of Governor Durbin.
When the Governor was colonel of the
e-hundred-and-sixty- Indiana Volun-
teers Lieutenant Dority was a member Of
the same regiment.
Peculiarly vivid is the story Of the condi-
tions in the islands, as told by Lieutenant
Dority. Being I'm command, not of an
American company, but of a company OF
native scouts, the lieutenant is more IA
miliar with typographical and social con-
ditions on the islands than a majority of
the American soldiers in far Eastern serv-
ice.
At the conclusion of his visit in Indian
apolis he will go to San Francisco to re-
Join his command of swarthy natives. They
will be the center OF attraction at the
Philippine village at the st. Louis exposi-
ton.
Lieutenant Dority. it is said, has fathered
the plan TO make all officers of native COM
mands in the Philippines when they are
mustered out admissible to positions or
equal rank in the regular army service
Lieutenant Dority may discuss this with
the Governor during his stay here. Dorlty s
plan is favored by army men, who say they
do not retain their earned credits under
the present system of discharges in the
Philippines.
Lieutenant Dority's home is in Michigan
City.

AFTER 4 SLEIGH RIDE

8. e. Hollis reported to the police yester-
day morning that his seven-year-old daugh-
ter Margaret had been lured to Brighton
Beach by stranger, who gave her ride in
a sleigh, and because she refused to kiss
him, according to her statements he put her
out into the snow.
The girl said that she was on her way TO
school Tuesday morning when she met the
man. He stopped his sleigh and asked her II
she wanted to take ride. He said he would
take her to school, but after she stepped
into the sleigh drove TO Brighton Beach. At
Brighton Beach he asked her 10 kiss him,
and on her refusal TO do so put her out In
the snow, and, turning his sleigh around
drove back towards the city.
The child was taken into a nearby house
and later was sent TO her home on a street
car. Detectives were notified and yesterday

child, but later abandoned his plans. Detec-
tives have no clew to his identity as yet and

priation of $4,000 for voting machines for

appropriation. Councilmen lockwood.
Johnson, Pfendler and Pierson voted against
the appropriation and Councilmen Nordyke
and Gardner were in favor of the passage
of the ordinance Councilman Blair was
absent
Those who voted against the ordinance
gave as reasons for so doing that the coun-
ty would be able to save money by waiting
until the machines had been perfected.
They said tina; the price paid for the ten
machines last year was exorbitant, due to
lack of competition. Commissioner Nc
Gregor urged the appropriation, stating
that $1,000 could be saved the county at
the fall election If the machines were used
Councilman Gardner. who voted for the APP
preparation, said that the county had al
ready lost S35, 900 by it's delay in buying the
machines and that further delay would
mean additional loss.
The Council appropriated 5000 for the
support Of dependent children sent 10 va
rious institutions by the Juvenile Court.
An appropriation of $4,000 for the erection
of new cottage at the Soldiers Home at
Lafayette was also made.

Protests Continue to Block the
Purpose of the Street-Car
Company.

Extension of the Pennsylvania-street car

property holders along any one of several
routes proposed and those residents of the
district that would be benefited by the ex-
tension and who petitioned the Board of
Public Works for it at the Monday meet
ing may find difficulty in agreeing on a
route that will not be strongly opposed.
The line could be extended either on
Pennsylvania or Delaware streets or along
Talbot avenue, but residents on all these
streets are said to be against the PROPOSE
ton of running the line in front of their
property AT the time OF the petition to the
board the matter was not acted upon, as no
route was specified in the petition. 1t was
suggested that the petitioners take the
