Ft. Wayne. Ind, Aug. 27.-The re-
publican state campaign was formally
opened here last night, when James E.
Watson, republican candidate for gov
ernor, delivered his key note address
to an immense audience in the Prin-
cess rink.
Mr.. Watson had prepared his speech
with care and the state committee
will issue it as campaign document
He discussed the kinds of local op
tions proposed, one by counties and
the other by townships and city wards
and said that the republican plan by
counties would be great advance
while the other would be a step back
ward.
Princess rink has been the scene OF
many notable political gatherings. II
was brilliantly illuminated and hand
somely decorated in honor of the re
publican campaign opening. Judge
b. W. Shelton of the city court per
sonally looked after the hangings
Bunting was used with attractive re
suits and pictures of Taft. Watson
and Congressman Gillian We're dis
played American beauty roses gave
a fine touch of beauty to the hall.
1t was a great night for Ft. Wayne
and for that matter the entire
Twelfth congressional district. 1t has
furnished one of the principal theme:
of conversation here for days and the
newspapers of the district have print
ed untold columns or advance notice
of the meeting. The democratic pa
pers have been about as generous as
the republican ones in their recogni
tion of the Importance of the occasion
Mr.. Watson's address madsa deer
impression upon the hundreds of peo
pie who heard it.

Birdie. birdie, birdie-pretty bir-
die" called Mrs. William Hopkins ov-
er the side fence. But the pretty bir-
die that had escaped from the cage
at the Hopkins domieile on School
street would not return. And Mrs.
Hopkins did not go after it Why?
Because there is an estrange ement be,
tween the Hopkins and their over-the.
fence neighbors, Reuben Wise and
family. And birdie was perched in a
tree in the Wise rear premises sing.
ing as fast as his little tongue could
trill.
And then, naughty, naughty. run
away birdie was captured by Wise
hand and taken into the donicile OF
the hostile clan.
But, ah, the police. the police, Wei
find a way to get our birdie back" but
I'D to the present birdie has not come
back home to sing and the water in
the glass cup in his cage has become
;tagnant. There is mourning at the
Hopkins home. during the absence oi

This morning the chief of the Hop
kins family commisary visited head
quarters and related his troubles-oI
rather those of his family and the
bird. He was told he will have to
seek a justice and replevin the bird

NEW WERNLE HOME
IS To Be BUILT
Synod of Ohio Grants Appro-
priation for Building and
Running Expenses.
NEXT MEETING COMES HERE
HOPED TO MAKE 1909 SESSION
ONE OF GREATEST IN HISTORY
OF SYNoD-PLANS OUTLINED
FOR NEW HOME.

After many years of promises and
delayed execution all are to be realized
by the erection of a new dormitory
building at the Wernle Orphans Home
south of the city. The Rev. Albert j.
Feeger, of the St. Johns Lutheran
church. announced on his arrival home
this morning. that he had been granted
an appropriation not to exceed $4,000,
by the synod of Ohio and other states.
In addition to this S11 900 was appro-
priated for the annual running expens-
es of the institution and it was decided
by the meeting that the 50 acres south
of the farm should be sold. 1t was
decided that the next meeting OF the
synod will be held in Richmond from
August 20 to 81. 1909.
The meeting of the synod at Apple
ton, Wis, this year was one of the best
that has been held for a number of
years. The attendance was the largest
that it has ever been and the appropri-
ations made this year were the
largest that have been given in the
history of the organization. In the
report of the Rev. Feeger to the synod
he gave the conditions of the Home in
department. and on his recommends
ton it was decided that a new build
ing should be erected 1t will be a
two story brick building in the shape
of T, being 45 feet by 100 feet in
size. The dining rooms and kitchen
will be attached and will be 80 feet by
"a feet. The specifications and plans
were accepted by the synod. The new
building will accommodate - children
besides the officers of the institution.
In the report by Mr.. Feeger, it was
shown that the 5S acres of land to the
south of the farm, purchased number
of years ago, has been farmed at a loss
so that the synod resolved that the
best thing that could be done with thu
land was to sell it and retain the sew
| enteen acres that was in the origina
purchase. 1t is expected to realize ;
neat little sum from the sale of tn,
land.
| Three new members were elected tt
the board of directors for the Wernl,
Home. One minister and two laymer
were elected. The new members ar,
Rev. L. M. Baum of Dayton, O., Johr
Schultz of Richmond, and Georg'
Hagelberger of Anna, o. Mr.. Schult:
was reelected. as he has always beer
one of the efficient members of tn,
| board.
Rev. Feeger secured the meeting 70
Richmond next year. Generally, a
least 200 delegates, from all over thu
United States. Australia and Germany
attend 1t is hoped by Mr.. Feeger t.
make the meeting next year one Of tn
crowning events in the history of tn

Seth Lewis, Well Known, Has
Left for Parts Un-
Known,
POLICE NOW WANT HIM,
MRS. LEWIS PREFERS CHARGES
AGAINST HIM-STORY CASE NOT
ONE WITHOUT ITS PANGS AND
HEARTACHES.
Where is Seth Lewis?

Where is Seth Lewis?
His wife would like to know, the po-
lice would like to know and there are
others who are afflicted with the same
germ of curiosity. Seth is wanted
upon the charge of wife desertion. The
charge was preferred against him in
city court this morning by Isabelle Mi
nor Lewis, his pretty young wife. She
charges he has given her the skidoo
sign, and gathering up his Swastika,
clover leaf and horseshoe, departed for
parts unknown. He has left her un-
provided for at the home of her par
ents.
1t is Nory not without its pangs
and heartaches for the almost child
wife. Lewis is bright young man,
affable and we'll liked by large cir
Gle of friends. He is about twenty
one years of age and has lived in this
vicinity all of his life. He has been
engaged in various kinds of business
but probably is best known in connec-
tion with dairy formerly operated by
himself and brother jesse He was
popular among the young men of the
city, and the fact of the estrangement
with his wife will be news of sur
prising nature. He and Miss Minor
kept company for many months before
their marriage and to outsiders there
had come no intimation that every
thing was not joy and bliss. 1t is not
known where Lewis has departed for
although the police have been told Cal
ifornia is his probable destination.
Mrs. Lewis is a we'll known young
woman. She was educated in the 10,
cal public schools and previous to hel
marriage was engaged actively as 6
| worker in one of the churches, having
| charge of an infant class.

ALL FOR TAFT
IN FAR WEST
Former Richmond Teacher
Tells of Political Condi-
tionS There.
BRYAN NOT MUCH FEARED.
HIS POLICIES DO NOT SUIT
TAFT's PROTECTION POLICY
MEETS WITH GREAT FAVOR
JAPS ARE FEARED.

Prof. Walter s. Davis, the head OF
the department of history at Tacoma
University, Tacoma, Wash, and form
erly instructor in history at the Rich
mond high school, is in the city spend
ing a short vacation. He was at the
chautauuua yesterday and was greeted
by many friends.
Prof. Davis has always taken the
keenest interest in political affairs
and he talked most interestingly yes
terday on the political situation on the
Pacific slope. He states that all the
far western states are strong for Taft
and he predicts that the republican
nominee will score an overwhelming
victory over Bryan.
Prof. Davis states that the voters in
the Pacific slope states are solid Tor
Taft because of the great work he has
accomplished for the Philippine Is
lands and the Panama canal. The
dream of the people living in that Sec
ton of the union. Prof. Davis states,
is to have the United States the mis-
tress of the Pacific ocean.
He states that Taft as governor gen
eral of the Philippine Islands and as
secretary of war. has shown the vot'
ers of the far western states that he
is heartily in favor of this movement
Bryan, he states, by his opposition to
greater navy and the policy to keep
the United States in her place as one
of the worlds powers. does not meet
with the approval of the far western
ers.
Prof. Davis states that the benefit
the western states. as well as every
other state in the union, would rear
by America securing control of the Pa
cific is almost beyond comprehension
The westerners regard Japan as Am
erica's most deadly enemy. The pre-
sent unfortified condition of the Pa
cific slope, as well as that of Hawaii
fills them with alarm. They realize
that with Taft as chief executive this
| evil will be remedied, but Bryan witt
| his opposition to an increase in the
military establishment, would leave
so it is believed, the unprotec ctec
western coast line to the mercy of th'
Japs.

BISHOP A REFUGEE
Man Charged With Contempt
Of Court Wants to Re-
turn to City.
WANTS TO ESCAPE JAIL.

George Bishop would rather be on
the outside looking in than on the in
side looking out, but at the same time
he would like TO be in Richmond and
out of Jail An affidavit has been pre-
pared against Bishop charging him
with contempt of court. He was a
witness in the case of the State VS..
Lewis Parker. He was subpoenaed to
be on hand when the case was called
for trial, but along with two other wit
nesses, failed to put in an appearance.
One of these others has served his
time in Jail for conviction of the
charge of contempt and the other man
has joined the navy to escape local ju-
risdiction. Bishop now wants to come
back, if he will not be prosecuted, His
brother. who is conducting negotia-
tions. has been told the refugee may
return if he cares to. but will have to
take his chances. Bishop was mar
ried the night before he left the city.

Huntington was sent back this morn,

Not enough evidence could be found
against Huntington to warrant charg

would not have insured a conviction
