Chief Topic at Richmond
Convention of Indiana
Municipal League Will Be
the Commission System of
Municipal Government.

Richmond, Ind, May 12.-Commission
form of government is one OF the most
interesting topics now being discussed
in Indiana cities and towns OF late the
Indiana press has given much space to
the subject, and in some cities a move
ment is foot to have law passed
by the next legislature permitting cities
and towns. If the voters so desire, to
change their charters so that the NUM-
cipalities may be governed on the
commission plan. Sentiment favoring
the enactment of such law is espe-
cially strong in Richmond. where agf-
tation in this state began.
At the Indiana Municipal League
convention, to be held in this city from
Tuesday, June 81, to Thursday June
%, one of the topics that will receive
the most consideration will be the
commission form of government. To
the city officials who will attend this
convention John F. MacVicar of Des
Moines, Ia, formerly mayor CT that
city. now one of the commissioners,
having in charge the department OF
streets and public improvements, will
explain the workings Of the new sys-
tenn and there is no man in America
better fitted to offer expert opinion.
Mr. MacVicar is one Of the original
-ors of the commission system, and rec
ognized an authority on municipal
government The success of the Des
Moines plan is due principally to his
efforts.
The tentative program arranged for
the convention is one of the best of
fered at a league meeting. 1t was
drafted by the following committee:
Mayor Darrow of Laporte. Mayor Har-
per of Madison and Mayor Durgan OF

COL LEWIS
To LECTURE
IN THIS CITY
Noted Chicago Lawyer and
Orator to Be Commence
ment Orator for Lincoln
Jefferson College of Law
This Year.

Colonel ]. Hamilton Lewis, the in
imitable orator of national reputation,
will be the commencement orator for
the Lincoln Jefferson College of Law
If present plans do not miscarry. His
promise to DR.. W. c. H. Keough, dean
of the college, to be in Hammond on a
night during the first week in June,
while only tentative, was given with
the hope that he could keep the en-
gagement. Colonel Lewis is much in
demand at this time of the year as an
orator. and consequently the local
school can deem itself fortunate for
having his promise
If Colonel Lewis does come to Ham
mond it will be because of the personal
friendship between himself and Dean
Keough and other members of the fa-
Guilty and his desire to be in some
measure instrumental to help along the
college which, though still young, is
recognized because of the strength of
its faculty and the results that it has
already accomplished.
Public Is Invited.
The coming of the noted lawyer and
orator is special interest to the city
as a whole, because the commencement
exercises are to be public without any
special invitation and without admis-
sion fees 1t has not yet been definitely
decided where the exercises will be
held, but at present the choice lies
between the Towle Opera House and
the First Methodist church.
The announcement of Col. Lewis
coming has not yet been made definite
ly. but should he fail to come ar
engagements will be made to get anoth-
er speaker who will undoubtedly be a
strong drawing card.
Before the school year closes one OF
two more special lectures are to be
given one of these is to be given by
Chief Justice Olsen of the Chicago
municipal COURTS The exact date of his
lecture at the Jefferson Col
lege of Law is to be made in the near
future. Inasmuch as Chief Justice OIL
son is speaker and lecturer of wide
reputation, the student body may look
forward to an address of exceptiona
interest. The attendance for the occa-
sion will not be limited to merely the
student body. Arrangements will be
made to accommodate local members OF
the bar and others who may be inter
ested-

LOSS IN ENUMER RATION
IS HARD TO SOLVE
Hammond Expected an In
crease, But Was Sadly
Disappointed.
SUPT. M'DANIEL INTERVIEWED
is Unable To Explain Where the Loss
In Enumeration Took
Place.

The loss of eighty three souls in the
Hammond school enumeration is still
a mystery to the school officials. 1t
expected that Hammond would
make a showing of an increase, but the
official table given out by Superindent
F. f. Heighway and published in THE
TIMES, superintendent c. NJ McDan-
iel is positive that the school enumera-
tors did conscientious work and says
that he is at loss to explain the de-
crease 1t was found upon checking
up the actual count of school children
as kept by the teachers, and the re-
turns as brought in by the enumera-
tors that the latter had overlooked
about 375. How many more have
been overlooked, of which the teach
ers had no record to check up against
the enumerators, is not known. 1t may
be anywhere from 100 to 200.
oversights in other Cities.
Asked to explain this seemingly big
oversight of 375 by the enumerators,
superintendent MCDANIEL said:
The oversight this year is not out
of proportion in comparison with 9TH
er years, nor out of proportion with
other cities In East Chicago, for in
stance. 1 understand, between $50 and
800 children have been overlooked and
there the number is in proportion to
past years. These ovesrights are due
to the fact that parents fail to give the
facts when the enumerator questions
them.
1T is true that if the oversights this
year are in proportion to other years
that Hammond ought still to show a
gain. but why it didn't l am unable to
explain"

GALLUP MAN OPENS
A NEW COAL MINE

Gallup, N. NJ, Dec. 25.--It has just
been learned that John Schauer, a
one-time leading business man OF
Gallup. after several weeks of pros
pecting and preliminary work in the
Aztec canyon Tor coal, was fortunate
enough TO secure an Ideal location in
the Aztec seam. and will open mine
soon. Many parties. according to the
Gallup Republican, have tried to To-
cate this vein before, but had very
poor success. and Mr., Schauer is TO
be congratulated os his good fortune
as the vein is very fine grade OF
coal II can also be worked cheaply
at this point as the coal is nice
height, being from five to six feet in
thickness with a good roof and Is
close to the railroad.
IL is understood that John Schauer
has the best of financial backing to
assist him and he expects to produce
quite a little coal for both local and
foreign consumption. Mr.. Schauer
will begin producisg coal within two
or three weeks.

Now. these may be regarded as un-
usually large figures-and | believe
they are--for these are the best facts
that have come within the range of
my own knowledge. For these facts
mean a money yield of about $1,000
per acre for the current years crop.
The woman orchard planter will not
need as much money as this to give
her an income far larger than what
she is earning in the best salaried
positions within her command in our
cities. l have often thought of a
group of women combining their
means and energies in an orchard. 1t
is an entirely feasible plan for several
women TO combine, each having five
acres in fruit. The trees could be
handled as one orchard, the fruit
gathered packed and shipped to mar
ket in carload lots. at freight rates.
For example: A group of eight busi-
ness women could purchase forty
acres of adjoining land each woman
holding the title to her individual five
acres. They could send two of their
number, best fitted for the work, here
to have the land prepared and planted
to fruit trees, cultivating and caring
for the trees, the other six to con-
tinue attending to their business until
begin to take care of them all
The trees of this orchard should
come into bearing in from three to
five or eight years. according to
varieties selected, and from this on
should yield a good living for the re-
spective owners.
If thought best, the orchard could
be made partially, if not wholly. self
supporting, by growing small fruits,
strawberries, raspberries, rhubarb or
similar crops, in the vacant spaces
between the trees. However, this
might complicate the work to some
extent.
Strips of alfalfa. a few feet wide.
on which chickens and turkeys thrive
could be planted and made to pay
good cash returns. A feature of an
investment of this character not to be
lightly regarded is the increased value
of land accruing from its cultivation
and planting to fruit trees.
one orchard here, of ten acres
bought and planted at cost of 5000
per acre less than five years ago. was
sold by the owner. lately. for $500
per acre. and was parted with reluc-
family only on account Of pressure Of
other work. This IS only one of many
instances of increase in the money
value of land, made profitable by in
teliigent handling
Now, do these facts seem practical
to the business women of the older
states who are looking eagerly for new
ways of helping themselves, and those
dependent on them. to something bet
ter than they have at present.
This free. out-of-doors. wholesome
busy life-does it seem attractive?

Though Quealy signed a statement
when he left the place that he was en-
tirely cured and that his appetite for
strong drink had disappeared, his de-
fense was that his craving was as
strong as ever. SO with the supposed
odor of whiskey ON his breath he i'm
vaded the court room. He called a
bartender who testified that he had
served the defendant three drinks in
as many months.

A S AN EXHIBITION in his de-
"A fense in a suit in Justice Baird's
\ court yesterday for the collec-
ton of a fee for having "cured" him
of the liquor habit, Il. j. Quealy sought
to introduce his whisky-laden breath as
evidence that he is yet a topper
The magistrate refused TO give the
exhibit close inspection. He remarked
that if he were to permit such evidence
to sway his judgement, a defendant in
such cases could always win his case
by taking glass of liquor even though
it almost strangled him.
Another amusing feature of the
hearing was the effort to qualify bar
tender as an expert on ''booze-cures'
in order to prove by him that the de-
fendant was not on the temperance
side of the question.
Quealy declares he had so much
difficulty years past in convincing his
wife that he was on the water wagon"
that he thought it would be an easy
matter to establish the fact in court
that he was a worshiper at the shrine
of Racchus.
The suit was the outcome of Mrs.
Quealy's effort to reform her husband.
He became SO accustomed to drinking,
according to his own evidence, that 1t
was "a rare occasion when he was en-
tirely sober
He had often promised her that he
would take the pledge, One day when
he was in the mood of reforming, she
suggested to him that he should take

length and he finally promised to do
so. According to prearranged PLAN
