Riot Defined. Mob. A riot is
tumultuous disturbance of the peace by
three persons or more, assembling to-
gether at their own authority, with the
intent mutually to assist one another
against all who shall oppose them, and
afterward putting the design into exc
cution in turbulent and violent man
| ner, whether the object in question be
! lawful or otherwise.
A rioter has been legally defined as
one who infames peoples minds, and
induces them by violent means to ac-
eomplish an illegal object, and it is not
necessary that he should take any part
in the riot, but it is sufficient if he sets
in motion the physical power of an
other, which results in riot. (Spies VS..

| There are commonly four general
| classes of emergencies in which state
/ troops may or should be called for
active service by the proper authorities.
These are in addition to the right which
| state has under the Federal Consti-
tuition to repel invasion. They are as
follows:
/ i. To prevent a threatened violation
of the law which the civil authorities
of city and county are inclined to
permit.
| 2. To prevent threatened violation
of law and preserve order when the
city or county authorities apprehend 9
disturbance with which they will be
unable to successfully cope.
8. To enforce the laws and restore
order when the civil authorities of any
district are unable to do so.
f. To enforce the laws and restore
! civil government in district in which
: the civil authorities have been actins
in conjunction with others in producing
) the disturbances.
An instance of the first class arise!
where certain act, such as a priz'
fight, is prohibited by statute, but tn
local authorities have given permission
for the fight to occur. In such a cas-
if the governors constitutional right
are broad enough, he may plainly in
: form the civil authorities that he vii
use military force to prevent the al
1 ranged fight unless the local authorize
withdraw that permission and proven
the fight without the governors inter
ventiOn.
In acting in this class of occasion
the governor must be clearly within tn
. rights prescribed by the state consti
i | tuition and constitutional statutes. [
= he is authorized to act in this class o
n occasions he may exercise a supervisio
e over civil officers, iii various localitie:

= often lead to later disturbances.

:, ours where certain turbulent and Law

stirred up either by yellow Journalist

been as it should have been in the
treatment of his wife by the physi-

number of physicians and the coroner

Fight Was Made to Kill the
Bill But There Was Such a
Strong Lobby of Politicians
That It Failed.
SENATOR FLEMING WAS
ADVOCATE OF MEASURE
Representative Wasmuth in
Speaking on Sheriff's Ins
and Outs Fees Repeal Strik-
es at Democrats.
Palladium Bureau,
Indianapolis, March 6.

One of the important pieces of legis-
lation enacted thus far is the bill
which provides that city officers shall
be eligible to succeed themselves. A
fight was made against this provision,
but there was such strong lobby here
representing the city officers of the
state, that nothing could prevent the
bill from being passed. The opposi-
tion pointed out that under the present
law a mayor cannot serve more than
one term of four years In any eight
years. and thus he is not able to build
up machine to perpetuate himself in
office. But under the bill which was
passed mayor will be able to make
his appointments SO as to build for
himself strong machine that will be
able to control the politics OF his city
and thus keep himself in office as long
as he can maintain his machine. 1t
is the same with councilmen. They
will now be eligible to reelection, the
same as the rest of the city officers.
Fleming Supporter.
Senator Fleming was one of the
principal supporters of the scheme to
have city officers succeed themselves.
Representative Wasmith, of Hunt
ington county, made little speech.
yesterday, that went straight home and
left an impression with those who
heard it, The house had under con-
sideration. the bill to repeal the In and
out fees that were voted to the sher-
IFS short time ago. Wasmuth is a
member Of the fees and salaries COM
mittee that had the bill in hand.
Il am sure I am not opposed to this
repeal measure" he said. but the fees
and salaries committee has had in its
hands during almost this entire session
q bill designed to correct the evils of
the fee system in the county offices.
That bill would settle once and for all
the in and out fee question. refer
to the merchants bill to fix the CON-
pensation for county officers. l was
one of the minority members of that
committee who fought to have the bill
see the light Of day, but We failed. l
said then l would never sign report
for the passage of this bill. until the
merchants. bill was reported out, and
am going to vote against this BILL
indictments Of Democrats.
Wasmuth's speech is regarded as an
Indictment of the democrats for refus-
ing to allow the merchants bill to get
before the house. The bill provided
that all county officers should be paid
straight salaries and that all fees col
lected should go into the county treas.
ury, thus eliminating all chance for
graft and fee grabbing. The demo.
Gratis placed themselves on record as
opposed to this reform. and Wasmuth
showed them up.

Plan Launched Last Night by
Methodists to Observe the
Founding of the Church in
Wayne County.
MAY PURCHASE FIRST
LOCAL CHURCH BUILT
This Building Now Located on
South Tenth Street and
Used as Residence-PIans
Not Completed.

The celebration of the centennial an
niversary of the advent Of Methodism
in this county will be held this sum-
mer, according to plans proposed at the
banquet of the First NJ. e. Brother
hood last evening. held at the church.
Following a toast by Rev. o. S. Harri-
son on "Methodism's Past History In
Wayne county" the Rev. Wade moved
that the Brotherhood initiate \ move
ment to hold a centennial celebration
and the proposition was instantly ac-
cepted by the large number present. 1t
is probable that the meeting will be
held on a farm about two miles north
east of Fairview. which was settled by
Jacob Smith and family, and where. in
1909. a circuit rider stopped and held
services.
To BE County Affair.
The work will be left to committees
and all Methodists in the county will
be asked to cooperate with the First
NJ. E. Brotherhood in making the af-
fair a success. Rev. T. NJ Guild. pre-
siding elder of the Richmond district.
will propose the matter to the other
churches in the county and it Is believ.
ed that all. Methodists will take an act
i've part in the affair.
II would not be surprising II the
movement would advance to such a
point as to start a centennial fund
with which to purchase the Oldest rel
ic of Methodism in this county-thal
of the first church building, which Is
now located on South Tenth street
just South of the first alley on the
west side of the street. 1t is now a
double frame dwelling and is in very
bad condition. This house was built
in 1923.
Gives Local History.
Rev. o. S. Harrison in his toast told
Of the local history of Methodism from
1909 to the present time. He stated
that when Jacob Smith and family
were about the only pioneers between
here and Fountain City a circuit rider
came to their house and stopped for g
fey days. He then opened services
and they were attended by large
crowds. An organization Of Metho
dists were effected at once. The meet
ings were held In the open at first.
The next step was the erection of .
log cabin to be used for a meeting
house. It was located in what Is nov
known as Kings Grave Yard" about
. two miles northeast of Fairview. Il
