Volunteer Fire Fighters of Cen.
terviIIe Meet With Mis-
fortune Last Night.
DWELLING BURNS DOWN
ALL THE DEPARTMENT COULD
DO AFTER THE ACCIDENT WAS
TO HELP SAVE HOUSEHOLD
GOODS AND WRECK BUILDING.

Centerville, Ind, Jan. 6.-While the
volunteer firemen of this town were
just going into action last evening in
a fight against the flames which were
destroying frame dwelling belong
ing to Thomas King and occupied by
j. Werley and family, the crow0 head
in the boiler of the fire engine blew
out. thereby putting stop to all eff
forts to save the property. 1t was
burned completely down. The fire
originated from a defective fiue and
started about $50 o'clock
After the accident to the ancient
fire engine the firemen assisted Wer-
ley in removing his household goods
and in tearing down the building to
prevent the spread of the flames. In
this effort they were successful, de
spite brisk breeze. Werley saved
about half of his household goods,
which We're partly covered by insur.
ance. The dwelling was not valued to
a great amount owing to its age. II
was partly covered by insurance.
The old King property was one OF
the oldest in the county. 1t was built
over fifty years ago. The building
was OF two stories and in recent wears
had not been in the best state OF re
pairs 1t was located in the north
part OF the town

States in Letter and Long
Distance Phone Interview
That PaIIadium's Report
Was Just a Hoax.
SAYS SOME HUMORlST
MUST HAVE STARTED IT
State Health Secretary Says
Hoosiers Regard Him as a
Crank, But Adds Indiana Is
Behind the Times.

Monday the Palladium printed inter-
views with three prominent local plug
tobacco masticators in which they ex-
pressed great indignation over the al
legged proposed action on the part of
DR.. J. n Hurty. secretary of the state
board of health to have a law enacted
making it unlawful to loan 'chaw
of terbacker."
Yesterday afternoon DR.. Hurry COM
municated with the Palladium over the
long distance phone and labeled the
report that he intended to father such
a bill as hoax" pure. simple and
unadulterated Throughout the state
ann known as a crank stated the eff
ficient health secretary. but l am not
quite that much of a crank
Indiana Behind Times.
THE reforms l have proposed to
benefit public health have been in most
instances designated as the eccentric
whims of fanatic. The truth of the
matter is my reforms are not new and
original. They are practiced all over
the country. However, in Indiana
these suggestions are received with
suspicion. To be frank Indiana is
away behind the times in matters per-
tanning to public health
This morning, as a. follow up TO the
long distance discourse came the fol-
lowing letter from Dr. Hurty:

this morning, increasing the panicky
conditions. Strange and gruesome
stories come from the devastated re-

TO MEET CALLS
HELP IS NEEDED
Associated Charities at Be-
ginning of New Year Finds
Treasury Depleted.
COLD WAVE BRINGS MISERY
WORTHY CHARITABLE ORGANi
ZATlON REALIZES PROMPT AC-
TioN is NECESSARY TO FORE.
STALL SUFFERING.

To meet the additional calls that
will be made for help within the next
three months, the Associated Charities
will require number of cash con-
tributions. There has not been the
generous response to calls for assist
ance on the part of the public this
year that has marked previous years.
1t is absolutely necessary that the or
ganization have more money to pre-
vent crippling its work among the
poor and needy. The present cold wave
is expected to continue for some time
and today there was longer line of
applicants at the headquarters Of the
association and township trustees Of
fee than has been noticed for some
time.
No Funds in Treasury.
Owing to the stringent circum-
stances in which the Associated Char
tiles found itself at the close of 1908,
there is no balance now in the treas
ury. according to the report made at
the meeting yesterday afternoon. Dur
ing December the receipts were about
$4Oo and the expenditures less than
5000. but the deficit that had to be
met prevented a balance. The organ
ization was conducted upon credit for
some time previous to the December
contributions. 1t is proposed to have
the sustaining funds collected by the
ministers of the churches in the flu
ture 1t is believed that in this way
the money can be secured more
promptly.
Mild Winter Fortunate.
A mild winter has been very for
tunate for the poor of this city. But
little complaint has been made of act
ual suffering. although there can be
found worthy families that are in dis
tress. The township trustee is ac
quainted with the circumstances of a
case wherein an older brother and his
wife and baby returned to make their
home with the aged mother and two
younger brothers. The elder brother is
fatally i'll with tuberculosis. The wife
must care for the baby and the aged
mother and the two young boys are
trying to support the combined fam.

Promoters Cooperation.

BY This Generous Action,
Treasury of School Will Be
Enriched $500 Program
Now Being Arranged.

BY it's practice of liberal applica-
ton of missionary work toward de-
serving organizations, the Young
Mems Business club has assured the
success of the Sixth District Corn and
Stock Judging School to be held at
Centerville, the first week in Feb
ruary. Inciden ntally Centerville will
return the compliment by observing
a Richmond day during the session of
the school and what little feeling re-
mains over the removal of the court
house from Centerville to Richmond
will be entirely wiped out, although
this feeling has not been pronounced
for several years. This beneficial un-
derstanding was accomplished by the
organization voting, last evening, to
guarantee to take 200 corn school
membership tickets at 81 each and
by guaranteeing that the club mem
bers would use their personal influ-
ences to stir up interest in the event
Management Of School.
The school will now be put under
the management of Prof. Christie OF
Purdue university. He had intended
to oversee the management from
Purdue university but now that the
school will be one of the most sue
cessful in the state he will direct op
erations at Centeryille. The success
of the school from the point of mem
bership will no doubt result in an
annual Corn and Stock school and
probably quarters will be erected fol
it. This physical success of the
school will be overbalanced by the
material success, Judging from whai
benefits similar schools have prov
en- to other communities.

LAMB RIOTERS INVADE
CAPITOL YESTERDAY
Delegation Arrived Too Early
And Will Not Have Great e.
fect-Rumor of Honan-
Shively Deal.
Palladium Bureau
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. s.


Four legislative caucuses will be
held tonight, two by each party. The
republicans of the senate will meet to
elect president pro TEN, secretary,
assistant secretary and doorkeper,
and to adopt rules that will govern
their course during the session.
Among the rules will be one under
which all committee appointments
will be made by the senate as a body
instead of by the democratic lieuten-
ant governor. Another rule will be
that power to adopt resolutions. pass
motions and transact other business
in the hands of all the senators III
stead Of in the hands of a majority of
those present. This rule will absolu-
tely prevent the democratic minority
from taking advantage of the major
ity when some of the republicans are
absent. This will also prevent Lieu
tenant Governor Hall from doing any
thing more than presiding over the
senate.
O0mocratlC caucus.
The senate democrats will caucus
and elect floor leader. That is all
there is left for them to do, as they
are in the minority. Their floor lead
er will be either Senator Kistler OF
Logansport or Senator Stotsenburg,
of New Albany.
House democrats will caucus in the
house of representatives. They will
elect q speaker. chief clerk. assistant
clerk and doorkeeper, also floor
leader. There seems little doubt that
Representative Tom Honan, of Sey-
mour, will be elected speaker though
Representative Garrard, of Vincennes
is running strong. The other candi
dates have no chance whatever.
Republican Caucus.
The republicans of the house, who
are in hopeless minority will caucus
and elect floor leader. which is the
extent to which they will be able 1o
go in this session. There are several
names under consideration for this
honor. among them being Representa-
tive Elliott. of South Bend. Represen
tative King, of Wabash. Representa-
tive Fitch of Muncie and Representa-
tive Grieger, of Laporte county. 1
looks like horse race between them
all, with the chances OF Elliott a lit
tie better than the rest.
Everything else is taking bacl
seat today for these caucuses tonight
1t is necessary for both parties II
both houses to be ready for the ~
ing OF the session of the legislature
tomorrow noon and they must ge
their caucus work done in time. 1t i!

ing will be done in the senatorshil
