Fear to Express Ideas About
Reid Memorial Hospital
Situation.
MAYORS PLAN is FAVORED.
THOUGHT IF RICHMOND is TO
CONTINUE TO APPROPRIATE
MONEY, LARGER REPRESENTA-
TION SHOULD BE GRANTED.

1t is learned that a few physicians
who have constantly been opposing the
present management of the Reid Me-
mortal hospital, were the authors Of
the resolution presented to council
Monday night by councilman Charles
Wettig. This resolution asked that
the title to the hospital property be
transferred to the city and that the
board of trustees be increased to ten
members, five to be appointed by the
city council.
Owing to the practically dictatorial
power held by the present self-perpe-
Ffuating board of trustees the greater
majority Of local physicians are ex-
tremely slow and cautious in finding
fault with the management of the in
stitution. Some months ago few ply
sicians started a revolt against the
trustees. To say that this rebellion
was suppressed with promptness and
effectiveness is putting it mild. A short
time after the revolt the ringleaders
found that when the medical staff of
the institution was reorganized their
names were not included in the list.
Since then they have occupied the pos
itions of outlaws" The other physi-
clans were SO impressed by the power
and energy displayed by the trustees
in this threatened medical war that
since that time they have maintained
discreet silence on all matters per-
tanning to the hospital.
1t is known, however, that if the
physicians dared speak their opinions
| on the hospital matter all of them
would favor a larger and more demo
cratic board of trustees, and they
! would also advise the city to refuse
to appropriate money for the main
tainence of the hospital unless the in
stitution was at least quasi-munici
pal one.
| Many business men have expressed
themselves against the continued mu
nicipal appropriations to the hospita
as long as it remains a private insti
tuition. Council is aware of this grow
ing opposition to such appropriations
and for this reason did not take hasty
action last Monday in making the 81,
900 appropriation for next year over
the mayors veto.
| 'If the hospital continues to remain
private institution l favor the city
entering into a contract with the trus
tees to pay so much for every deserv
ing poor person treated at the insti
tuition. I do not think the city should
pay for the care of poor people sen
to the hospital from outside the city
as has been the case," stated Mair
street merchant today

Expenditure of County for
Hack Purposes Becomes
Matter of Moment.
SUPERINTENDENT REPORTS
AVERAGE DAILY COST FOR EACH
HACK is $1.45-SOME PARENTS
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF TOWN.
SHIP TRUSTEES.

For each hack that is used in Wayne
township to convey pupils of the town
ship schools back and forth from home
to school, the average daily cost is
$1.5O. The expenditure of the entire
county for hack service has become a
matter of moment, and if the increase
continues, the operation of hack lines
may necessitate an advance in the
school tax rate. The law requires that
pupils be hauled to school if they live
three miles or more distant from the
building. The township trustee has to
see that the children are accommo-
dated and there is no way for him to
avoid the consequent expense.
In some parts of the county the law
has been taken advantage of by par
ents. Cases have arisen wherein the
child lives three miles from the build
ing. There are no other children
around and a hack line for the one
child would be severe drain on the
fund. The father is asked to convey
rate. The trustee may deem it too high
but be unable to procure any one else
to do it for less. He can do nothing
then but pay the price the father asks
for conveying his own child to school,
where it receives free educational adj
vantages.
The average length Of the hack lines
q ho
age cost for each hack is about $1.45.
| The greatest average cost for hacks is
| in Dalton township, Where it is $1.95.
| The $1O7 average is in Franklin town
ship. The greatest average length of
! hack lines is in New Garden township,
where it is Al miles. Center township
has the shortest average length, 81
miles. Seventy-nine horses are used
to haul the hacks. These figures do not
| include the private conveyances that
are made use Of.
| One of the items that enters into the
expense of the hack lines is the equip
ment furnished. If the owner of the
| hack furnishes heaters and lap robes
| for the accommodation of the children
/ he CUdTS0S d higher Tdle. lie OWuefS
of the hacks in Boston, Center, Clay,
Dalton, and Jefferson townships fur
nish both robes and heaters. In the
other townships except Arlington and
Jackson, one or the other is supplied.
There are no hack lines in Arlington
or Jackson townships.
County Superintendent Jordan has
compiled a list of interesting stats
tics in regard to the hack lines as they
now are operated. The greatest av
erage daily cost of hacks for each
pupil is s141, paid by Webster town
ship.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 21.-Herman Bill
lik was with his wife and little
daughter Edna when told by his law
yer that he could expect no further
delay by Court proceedings of his pun
ishment for the murder of the Vrzal
family several months ago. At last
admitting that there is little hope for
him he has begun preparations for
death.
Il am ready to die. 1t would be
easier to go to the gallows than live
within the four walls of the pen.'
Would you accept life imprison-
ment instead of death?" he was asked
"Well. l have always preferred
| death, but for the sake of my child
| rem / think I would rather go to the
pen."
States Attorney Healey said he will
go before a Judge in the Criminal
Court and have Billik resentenced as
soon as he receives the mandate OF
the United States Supreme Court.
An almost strenuous effort has been
made to secure the release OF Billik
but the courts have been obstinate as
the crime for which he stands con
victed was one of the most brutal in
the history Of Illinois courts. Father
| O'Calleghan who is shown in the pic
ture has worked hard for the release
of Billik, as has his daughter, Edna
all of whom are shown in the picture
above. A likeness of Billik is showr

Claims Departments Forced to
Make Big Settlements OW-
ing to the Drought.
ALL RECORDS ARE BROKEN
NOT IN Fifteen YEARS HAS THE
ROAD BEEN FORCED TO PAY
so MUclI-FLYING SPARKS THE
CAUSE.

The Richmond and Indianapolis d.
visions of the Pennsylvania lines have
paid out more money since the first OF
last September for losses resulting
from fires, started by engine sparks,
than for a similar length of time in
the past fifteen years. The claims de-
partments of the two divisions have
been overburdened with work and there
appears to be prospect for improved
conditions in the immediate future.
Not much live stock has been burn
ed, but houses, barns, fields, woods,
farming machinery and other things
have been burned. On the Indian
apolis division last month 81 900 alone
was paid out for small, unimportant
blazes," stated a local railroad man
today
This month has witnessed the de-
struction of entire corn fields as re-
suit of engine sparks. One railroad
man said today that during the many
years he has been employed in railroad
work he had never before heard OF
similar losses.
1t is estimated that the various rail-
roads operating through Wayne county
have paid out to the farmers in this
county 5000 to $4,000 to eompromise
fire losses.
Engineers on railroad engines use the
utmost care in preventing sparks from
flying. but this happens notwithstand-
ing the care taken. Owing to the ex'
tremely dry condition of the grass one
spark is liable to start an entire field
or large forest tract blazing.

when a corpse was left in the room

KERN RUSHES HOME

Syracuse, N. Y, Oct. 21.-John w.
Kern, Democratic vice president can

tour Of the east, has Cancelled all of his
speaking engagements and is now hur.
rying to the bedside of his S-year-old
son, John w. Kern, Jr., who is SER

his home in Indianapolis. Mr.. Kern
left this city today.
Mr.. Kern was informed that his son
was very seriously ill and that doubts
were entertained for his recovery. Mr..
Kern was almost crushed by the sad
news. 1t is expected that he will ar
rive in Indianapolis early tomorrow
morning.
It is doubtful if the Democrat vice
president candidate will take the stump
again this campaign. However. his fu-
ture movements will be guided solely
by the condition of his son. Should the
child's condition improve it is prob
able Mr.. Kern would resume his speak

When 1t was first proposed to vosA
jefferson township dry by a blanket
remonstranee, opposition was encount-
cred among an unexpected source by
those promoting the prohibition move
ment. 1t was found that number of
the influential business men and mer-
chants of Hagerstown were opposed
to the remonstrance. Hagerstown is
the metropolis of the township and
the largest town in the northwest Sec
tion of the county. Those circulating
the remonstrance had some fear as to
their ability TO obtain the required
number of signatures. They were told
by these merchants that they did not
favor the saloons personally. but that
they were afraid if they were closed.
