REV. TRAUM SPOKE
ABOUT MORMONISM

Is the American Indian a Hebrew?
This was one of the many questions
which Rev. s. W. Traum brought be-
fore the students Of the high school,
when he addressed them at the weekly
chapel exercises this morning. Rev.
Traum told the, pupils the narrative
contained in the Book of Mormon, '
and noted some of the peculiar points
of the story.
He told of how a party of Jews wan
dered away from the Holy Land. and
ultimately reached Central America,
where, after undergoing a change of
color in punishment for their wicked
ness, part of the number became In
dians. This theory, however. was dis
couraged by Rev Traum.- AZ he said
be. could ind no common characteris-
tics in the Jews and red men.
In the opinion Of Rev. Traum. the
Mormon faith is growing In the num-
ber Of its adhefents. and, ~ it is not
composed Of religious fanatics, claims
q place among the powerful religions
Of. tho world. He did not care to dis
cuss the possibilities Of the growth
OF NoFmonism and its effect on Chris
dsnity, but merely outlined the story
Of the book. believing that the stu
dents should have some idea Of tts

TWO DIVORCE CASES
WILL Be CONTESTED
Mrs. Harms Notifies Court
She Will Make Contest
Wants Money.

Claiming that she is without means
to prosecute her defense to the divorce
action instituted by o. K. Karns, pos
tai transfer clerk at the Pennsylvania
depot, on the grounds of cruel and in
human treatment, Mrs. Minnie Karns
! Wednesday filed a petition through
her attorneys for $3.50 suit money. The
petition has not been honored by the
court as he has not had time to inves-
tigate the merits of the petition.
Mrs. Karns declares in her petition
that she will seek through large
number of witnesses to prove the al
: legations of the complaint false. Fur
thermore, she declares that as she will
vigorously prosecute her defense she
is in need of means to engage coun-
sci, having already retained w. A.
Bond and w. w. Keller.
Further than this, it is cited in the
petition. that when her husband is al
legged to have separated from her on
July 10, 1911, that he at that time
agreed to pay her $50 a month for
her own and for the support of their
daughters, Agnes and Mary. He also
agreed to pay the rent of the property
on the southwest corner of Eighth
and North D streets, amounting to
$23 a month, she alleges. But, Mrs.
Karns declares, he has failed to do
this and that she has had to support
herself and the children and pay the
rent of the property from the allow
ance made by him.
Though Mrs. Karns' petition is not
of the character of cross complaint,
she requests that in case divorce is
given her husband that she be given
the custody of the two girls. He does
not ask the custody in his action. The
issues in the case have not as yet
been made up, and as Mrs. Karns will
probably do all in her power to defeat
the issuance of a decree of separa-
ton, the case will not come to trial
for several weeks.
The divorce action of Alpha VIII
liams against Christie Williams will
be heard by Judge Fox next Monday.
The wife complains of the defendant
on the ground Of cruel and inhuman
treatment. 1t promises to be bitterly
contested.

Declared Constitutional.

John F. Robbins. attorney for the

He stated this morning that he had
not gone into this matter very thor.

This question was raised at tho
secret session of the city council
Monday evening. by Attorney Henry

city. MIR. Johnson stated that the
company. having re-incorporated thir-
ty years ago under the mining and
manufacturers act. which has since
been declared unconstitutional, the in
corporation of the company was ille-
gal.
However, ON other questions raised
by the city's attorneys. Mr.. Robbins
and Mr.. Dill agree, refuting arguments
of the city's legal advisors who de-
clare that the company has no perpet-
ual franchise. and that an examination
of the company's books in case the
city decides to contract with It.

opinion council and tho board Of

by delaying this question. They Know
that they will be obliged to reject

reason that 1t is not workable, and

Supt. Dill says the company 10 now

will meet the requirements Of the
city's specifications. He says that -

promise a lower rate than 10 charg-

In speaking of the decision Of At

Territory.

The Rev. Conrad Huber, pastor Of
st. Paul's Lutheran church, a worker
in the Indiana Anti-Saloon league, has
secured information from the Rev. E.
S. Shumaker, superintendent of the
Indianapolis district Of the league. rel
ative to the number of liquor licenses
which the United States government
has issued to individuals, firms and
clubs in Wayne county. 1t is the con-
tention of the league officials that
wet" territory supports blind tigers
and it is to gain information in sub
sanitation of this theory that the
league officials are now working.
According to the information SO far
received by DR.. Huber there were
eighty three liquor licenses issued by
the government to individuals, firms
and clubs in Wayne county during the
months of June, July and August last.
These licenses are dated to expire one
year from the date OF issuance. Gov
ernment licenses to either retail or
wholesale intoxicating liquors are held
by fifty-two saloons, one woman who
owns a drug store and the remainder
to druggists, individuals and clubs.
There are five clubs which possess re-

TOXIC, Oct. 25.-That the Manchu
government of China is tottering is
the belief of the Japanese government
officials today, and preparations to
meet the emergency are being rushed.
Vast numbers of Japanese soldiers
have been sent into Korea and Man
churia to be prepared for any EN-.

chase follows the overthrow of the
Manchus dynasty.
Chinese government agents are
working for Intervention as a last

Rebel successes in southern China,
coupled with the declared intentions
Of the Central Chinese government to
continue fighting indicates that the

the Young China party.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 25.-Mystery
surrounding the murder of DR.. Helen
Knabe, the noted pathologist and for
mer state bacteriologist, continued to
deepen today. The police are complet-
ely baffled. The failure of those who
discovered the woman's body with
the head nearly severed, to promptly
notify the authorities has proved a
serious mistake, which the police de-
clared handicap to a possible solu-
ton of the crime. The police again
brought in Jefferson Haynes, the ne
gro janitor, and Baptist deacon; Miss
Augusta knabe, cousin of the murder
ed woman, and Catherine Mcpherson,
office assistant to the woman doctor,
for further questioning. Haynes bears
an excellent reputation and was re-
leased last night after an inquisition
lasting all afternoon. But the police
desired to further question him today.
Another possible theory advanced
today was that a German revolution
lists. now resident of indianapolis,
with whom DR.. Knabe is alleged to
have had several animated discus
sions, may know something of the
tragedy. This man is reputed to pos
sess violent temper and Miss Knabe
was staunch In her opinions.
One Conclusion Reached.
The police are forced to the be-
lief that the motive of the crime was
criminal assault. The condition of
her clothing and the nature of the cut
that caused her death all caused this
belief. The police in their desire for
clues are admitting the fact that they
did not reach the scene firsts and are
inclined to express themselves harsh
ly about Miss Catherine Mcpherson
and Miss Augusta Knabe in notifying
them.
Mayor Shank after a conference
with Captain Holtz of the detective
department., and the coroner, declared
he would go before the city council
and ask for an appropriation of $4,000
to $4,000 for a reward for information
to unravel the mystery, just as soon
as he is convinced the death was d,.:,
to murder instead of suicide. The cor
oner after the conference said that be-
yond doubt it was murder. Anybody
who visited the house after the dis
covery of the crime and saw the
body would be convinced the woman
did not kill herself the coroner said.
Mayor Shank said in proposing the
reward that there had been too many
murders in Indianapolis which had
gone undetected.
