Sad Sequel to Meeting In the Days

One of the most pathetic duels in
the early history Of the American navy
was that between twn young midship-

Their ship was In tlie Malayan wa

over the question Of lsaving open the
scuttle. The dispute was finally set

Much wonder has been excited be-

They form within a very thin gaseous

Der and arrangement of the attractive

explained In somewhat technical
sounding terms. We may assume each
water particle or molecule possesses
two opposite primary poles, positive
and negative. corresponding IN direc-

equidistant secondary poles arranged

theory would perhaps best explain

BLAME THE UNDERTAKES

ficials. improper conduct on the part
of officials of benevolent societies, col
fusion between undertakers and ply

The charge was made to the City

discussed by sociologists and others
who are working to ameliorate con-

surrounding scores of funerals in

Huntington Appeals to Minis
tiers, to Gain Release:
Offered a "Cure"
SENT OUT MANY LETTERS
THEN THE PASTORS WAITED ON
HIM BUT TO HIS DISGUST ONLY
OFFERED TO SEND HIM TO A
KELLEY CURE.

While an inmate of the county jail,
serving an eleven days sentence for
public intoxicatiOn, Earl Huntington
formulated plan of release, which
worked out In an entirely different
fashion from what the schemer antici-
patcd
On the first day of his confinement
to the Jail Huntington asked for pen,
ink and paper and addressed twelve
page letters to all of the ministers OF
the city, playing upon their sympa-
thies.
Yesterday afternoon q delegation of
ministers, Mrs. Mary Frame Selby and
others, visited the jail and had long
talk with Huntington. Although his
letter was never given out for publica-
ton. 1t was learned that his plan was
to have these persons visit Mayor Zim-
norman and appeal to him, for his re-
lease.
However, caucus had been held by
tho visiting delegation, before they
talked with Huntington. and, 1t is said.
they had planned to send him to some
Institution, either In Cincinnati or In
dianapolis. at their own expense, and
have him take the Kelley cure. After
having made such an earnest appeal
Huntington could not very well have
objected to this plan and he apparently
heartily Endorsed 1t. After the pleas
"a committee left. Huntington entered
. very decided kick against such ''out-
rageous" treatment.
The other INN ttes Of the institution
are making the best possible joke out
Of the matter. Huntington has been
told that he will play the bass drum
and that II he stays at the Institution
long enough for them to get out. they
will be his guests and listen to the
beautiful music.
