LIFT A QUARANTINE
Fear of Epidemic of Oiphther-
ia at EarIham College
Is Now Over.
TWO VICTIMS IMPROVING

All fear of an epidemic of diphthe
ria at Earlham college is now passed,
it is said and according to DR.. J. f.
King, county health officer. there is no
occasion for alarm or reason to be-
lieve that there will be a spread of the
contagion. All of the students under
quarantine, with the exception of those
afflicted with the disease. Miss Rather
inc Thompson of this city and Miss
Pearl Thornburg. of Milton. were re-
leased this morning by the health Off
Ger. The victims are recovering rap
idly, it is said and the condition Of
neither is thought TO be of serious ma
ture. The attack in both cases is mild
and both patients will probably be re-
leased from quarantine within the next
week it is thought.
The social life of the college has
been resumed as usual and the excite
ment among the student body has en-
tirely subsidized. Precautions are still
being taken however and those who
complained of irritated throats are be-
ing closely watched for symptoms.
The impression was current that the
faculty reception was to be held tomor
row night. However. such was never
the intention and the report was errO-
neous. The reception will be given
evening, February 26.

Judge Fox This Morning on Ap-
p|ication of Two Creditors.
Names a Receiver for the
Local Concern.
STEEL COMPETITION
PROVED ITS UNDOING
And It Is Probable That the
Concern Will Be Sold and
Moved to Either Pittsburg
or Gary, Ind.

Because of its inability to compete
with the steel trust, the Border Bolt
and Nut Lock company. situated In
West Richmond, on the PENNSYLVANIA
receiver this morning, in the circuit
court on motion of Adolph Goelitz of
Chicago and w. H. Kelley of this city,
who are the only creditors. Henry T.
Burns was named as receiver.
The liabilities af the concern are
$4,000 while the assets are esti-
mated at $4,000. Mr. Burns was
placed under $4,000 bond and took
immediate possession of the proper
ty, and will hold same until a further
order is issued by the court, making
disposition of the concern. 1t will be
sold and it is probable it will be re
moved from the city and closer to the
steel mills, that it may purchase this
product at such a rate as not to en-
tail much freight expense
Financed by Goelitz.
Mr.. GoelitZ, with other Chicago and
Cincinnati parties became interested
in the plant in 1907 and Mr.. Goelitz
has been financing the concern. 1t is
shown in the complaint that the con-
cern is indebted to Mr. Goelitz in the
sum of 1854.
One of the largest stock holders in
the concern said that the factory had
been an experiment and in its present
location, found losing one. He at
tributed the failure to the high price
paid for steel and the fact that the
freight rates OH steel We're exceeding
ly high. He believes that in the event
the concern is moved. to one of the
steel trust centers, either at Gary,
Ind, or Pittsburg, the plant will be a
paying venture. Either of the above
locations would be favorable because
the company would not have to ship
its steel but could transport direct
from the mill to the factory.
Organized in 1904.
The concern was organized in 1904
c. c. Border of this city was the pat
entee. His device is considered a
very practical one. 1t consists of
steel spring, which permanently locks
nuts onto bolts. Mr.. Border worke ed
out the patent while confined to his
home after long Hines from typhoid
fever.
The Cincinnati and Chicago parties
purchased the interests of the first
organization, by meeting a S11,0O
mortgage. The management also pur-
chased the stock, increased the cap
italization, doubled the machinery
and enlarged the plant. The manage
ment became discouraged after about
three years experimentation. The
plant is regarded as too small by it's
owners to compete with the steel
companies of millions of capitaliza-
ton.

was made evident when the Ballin4er-
Pinchot investigation committee met
this morning and MIR. Vertrees asked
for 4 subpoena for Adolph Behrens of
Seattle. Behrens was brought into
the case by statement of CLAWS that
he was a coal claimant. living in Seat
tie: that he had told CLAWS that he had
transacted private business for Land
Commissioner bennett. and that when
bennett arrived in Seattle he denied
all knowledge a: Behrens. Yet on the
following day CLAWS saw bennett and
Behrens lunching together.
Vertrees said he hoped to show by
Behrens that he did not know bennett:
that ne had no conversation with him
and had not lunched with him. lie
said he had Behrens's affidavit 10 this
effect.

sumed. as To his statement that Bal
linger. when land commissioner. had
changed the regulations affecting coal
entries i'm Alaska. Vertrees asked
CLAWS what was improper in this con
nection.
CLAWS said he had told of thcss
| changes made by Ballingcr to allow
the committee to Judge whether .hey
| We're good or bad. The change tn
;ah h. h..
| thought, was bad. Mr.s .sGlavis' answers
did not altogether please Vertrees and
he protested that every reply had =
string tied to it. while he wanted di-
| rect answer.
This criticism of the witness led to
a discussion between Chairman Nell
| son and Representative Graham. in
which the chairman sided with YER
trees. but nevertheless allowed the
tions.
Vertrees proceeded to question Gla-
Wis as to what Ballinger had done dur
| ing the time he was out of office, 1908
TO 1909. from which he said that Gla-
vis wanted the committee to draw un-
| favorable inferences
| Used His Information.
CLAWS said Ballinger gained infor.
nation concerning coal companies
and then when he went out Of office
he had deliberately represented coal
companies as counsel. This action.
CLAWS said. was contrary to act OF
congress. although there had been de-
cisions favorable and unfavorable on
this point.
CLAWS thought the statute was per-
fectly clear and il should prevent him
from doing as he did.
Vertrees gained a point for Ballin-
ger when he drew from CLAWS the ad-
mission that at the time Ballinger left
| the land office, he had not received an
adverse report from CLAWS on the Gun
ningham. and that the Cunningham
journal had not been found at that
time.

Alleged SwindIer Since Leav-
ing This City Has Visited
Japan, Philippines and the
Hawaiian Isles.
FUGITIVE SALESMAN
PLACED UNDER BOND
Of $4,000 at Hartford Yes
terday, but no Bondsmen
Were Forthcoming - De-
Tense May Be Insanity.

Chief of Police Gormon will probably
arrive Sunday evening from Hartford,
Connecticut. with his prisoner, George
NJ. Piper, the alleged swindler. who is
wanted in this city on the charge of
larceny and embezzling large sums Of
money from the F. and N. Lawn Now
er company of Richmond. Piper was
arraigned at Hartford yesterday, but
the case was continued and the man
was placed under $4,000 bond for the
purpose of holding him for the local
authorities. He could secure no bonds
men.
Since leaving Richmond last fall Pi-
per has travelled extensively over a
greater part of the world. He visited
Manila in the Philippines, Honolulu
and Japan, after leaving California
where he went from here. He then
returned to the United States, locating
first at Portland, Ore, and then at
Billings, Mont.
Jumps to Boston.
The mans jump across the conti-
nent to Boston. Mass. was the next
step in his series of interesting and
spectacular travels. From Boston
Piper went to Hartford, Conn, where
he was recognized by a customer of
the local concern and fell into the
clutches of the police, bringing to an
abrupt end his sensational journeys.
Piper will be bound over to the cir
cult court Immediately upon his ar
rival in this city. 1t is understood
that insanity will probably be the
mans defense, as according to Attor-
ney Ray X. Shiveley, members of his
family have stated that he acted
Queerly at times while residing here
and was subject to frequent fits Of
violent temper. 1t is not known
whether the family will intercede in
Piper's behalf, but it is thought they
probably will not. An effort will be
made on the part of John NJ. LontZ.
of the F. and n. company to prosecute
Piper to the fullest extent of the law
on at least two charges. 1t is not
definitely known that he will be pros
ecuted in the other cities in which he
is alleged to have operated.

Indianapolis Ind, Feb. !S.-A most
interesting article based on the fact
that two cases of cerebro-spinal menin-
gifts have recently appeared in Indiana

superintedent of the state bacteriolog-
ical labrotary, and 1t is published this
month in the Bulletin of the State
Board OF Health Cerebro-SpinaI men,
ingitis has always been held to be one
of the most dangerous diseases found
in Indiana. and its appearance in any
locality has been the signal for physi-
clans to put forth their strongest ef-
forts to stamp it out. For this rea-
son the article by DR.. Simonds is of
particular interest, coming as it does
from one of the highest authorities in
the state In his article DR.. Simonds
sounds a warning that there is evil
dence that Indiana is now threatened
with an epidemic OF cerebro spinal
meningitis. The article is as follows:
Statement of Simonds
Within the last two months two
cases of epidemic cerebro-spinal men
ingitis have occurred in Indiana More
than hundred deaths are reported
from this disease every year in the vi
tai Statistics of the Indiana State
Board of Health. 1t is doubtful, how
ever. if more than half dozen of these
diagnoses were verified by microscopic
examination The two cases mention
ed above were proven to be the epi-
,lemic form of meningitis. by finding
meningococci in the cerebro spinal
fluid.
While it is true that this disease is
more or less endemic In large cities.

now threatened with an epidemic of
