LOCAL man OWNER
OF FAMOUS HORSE
Poetry of Motion, Animal
with Wonderful Record,
Raised by B. Johnson.

That a Richmond man was the
breeder of the horse that has won
more trophies than any other horse in
the world. is one of the interesting
facts that was developed at the sale
of the stable of Lawrence Jones,
of Louisville, last Tuesday. The
horse, Poetry of Motion, was raised
by Benjamin Johnson on his farm
north of the city. The animal has the
wonderful record of never being beat
en- in his class, even though it has
been shown at Chicago, London, Madi-
son Square Garden, and the other lead
ing shows of the world.
Mr.. Johnson assigns no special rea-
son for the unusual development of
Poetry of Motion, or Renner, as he
was originally named, for he was Civ
en- only the same raising as all the
other horses on the farm. 1t has a
good line of ancestors, fact which
may in way account for its record.
It's sire and dam were King Marvel
and Bonetta, both of which are full
blooded Kentusky animals. Poetry OF
Melton is a chestnut gelding, and a
| three gated saddle horse.
Benjamin Johnson, the breeder of
the world beater, belongs to a family
of vel known horsemen. His great
uncle, Malcomb Hart, imported Mde-
ley. the champion running horse, into
America, and all his ancestors have
! been careful of the quality of their
stables. BENJAMIN Johnson, however,
is the first member of the family, and
also the first resident of Wayne coun-
ty, to develop a worlds champion.
Mr.. Johnson has some colts that
were raised by the full blooded sisters
of the champion, which he is raising in
Kentucky now to enter the show class.

A MYSTERY CLEARED.
Unknown Woman at Hos
pital Is Identified.

The mystery about the identity of
the woman who fell near Thirteenth
and Main streets, Thursday morning
and who was taken to the Home for
Friendless Women and afterward re-
moved to the Reid Memorial hospital,
has been unraveled. Her husband,
John Dudack. German, employed at
the Starr piano factory, and unable to
speak English, experienced difficulty
in locating his wife, but finally he
learned that a woman was at the hos
pital. and believing her to be his wife
called at the institution and found her.
She was taken to her home, South
Second and c streets, this afternoon.
1t is said that the woman is q vic.
tim of epilepsy. The authorities were
at a loss to identify her inasmuch AZ
she is also unable to speak the Eng
lish language.
According to the authorities Dudack
believed his wife had been under ar
rest and that he could do nothing for
her and therefore did not make in
quiries to the police.

EXILE FROM RUSSIA
RELATES HAROSH|PS
Lochwitsky, in a Talk at
Earlham, Throws Light
on Siberia.

For two hours and thirty-five min.
utes large sized audience at Earlham
chapel last night eagerly listened as
the Russian political exile Lochwitsky
related his narrative of his experiences
at the hands of the Russian secret
service officers and in Siberia where
he was sentenced for four years of
hard labor
Mr.. Lochwitsky was educated in sew
eral Russian schools. receiving a de-
gree of B. A. and doing much work in
military college, With this prepare
ton he soon worked his way into the
public service in the capacity of Lieu
tenant-C Colonel and Chief of the Bureau
of War Office, his duty being to dis
cover grafters.
Because he founded a school for the
poor he was suspected of having lib
eral ideas, arrested. forced to resign
his Office, kept in solitary confinement
for fourteen months and afterwards
sentenced to four years of hard work
on the island of Saghalien. Later he es.
capped and made his way to Japan and
afterwards to the United States.
In the course of his lecture, Mr.
Lochwitsky made many remarks which
threw much light on conditions in Rus
STA. He said that for the first five
months of this year 10000 men. WON.
en- and children had been banished in
to Siberia.
There are no fraternal societies in
Russia as they would be suspected OF
conspiracy against the government, he
said. A free-mason would be given a
sentence of hard work in Siberia, &C
cording to the speaker.
The chief of police and the judges
are appointed and hold their position
for life if not caught in their graft.
The secret service men make unex-
pected calls upon the professional men
trying to get evidence to convict them
of conspiracy. The common people are
flogged for not obeying the officers OF
the law while crimianl exiles are often
flogged to death If they cross the au.
thorities, said the speaker.

THOUGHT BURLES0N
WAS PAID ENOUGH
Judge Fox Decides Against
Young Farmer in Suit to
Recover Wages.

Satisfying himself after hearing
some OF the evidence and without
hearing the arguments that Ralph
Burleson, the young Center township
farmer, who sued his uncle, Edward
Green of Centerville, for $1,54o, for
services as farm hand for a period
dating back four years, had not a just
claim, Judge Fox Of the circuit court
on Friday found for the defendant.
Although Burleson set for in a most
graphic manner that during the period
he was employed by his uncle he had
arisen early in the morning and did
not retire until well after SHUTDOWN
and had not received a cent for his
labors, the evidence of the defendant
witnesses was contradictory
The Burlesons lived in New York
state. and several years ago, owing to
their financial difficulties, Green
brought them to Centerville and estab-
lished them on his farm, he and his
family going to Centerville to live.
The Burlesons had the use of ev-
erything on the place, the young man
frequently using Green's team and wa
gon for private hauling. The boys
mother and her other children still
live on the Burleson farm under the
arrangement provided by her brother,
Mr.. Green.
Burleson was married to Winifred
Parker, who in 1909 beNme a widow
by divorce following the desertion of
her husband, who has never been
heard from since, although the police
have made most diligent search. Just
why he left his wife and family has
never been satisfactorily explained
Mrs. Parker afterwards married Burle.
son.

NO H|NORANCE To
BRIGHT STUDENTS
High School Principals Agree
They Should Not Be
Held Back.

That it is advisable to let the bright
students study as much as they care
to, was the popular conclusion reached
after considerable discussion this
morning at the closing session of the
Principals club of Northern Indiana,
which has been in progress the last
two days at the office Of Prof. I. E..
Neff, in the local high school building.
The educators tabooed the idea of a
"lock-step" course and believed in al
lowing the pupils to make as much
Roadway as possible in individual
cases. The also advised tutoring and
the highest marks.
1t was the unanimous opinion of the
teachers present that extraordinary
children should be encouraged to car
ry more work than the average, and
the visiting principals expressed the
sentiment that no limit should be put
on the amount of work student did.
Conversely, they believed in reducing
the required work for poor scholars.
The game of football is not worth
saving was the verdict rendered by
the principals. They discussed sub
stitutes for the American sport, but
could find none that is really satisfac-
tory. They agreed that they would
not openly force the abolition of the
game in their schools, but they an
nounced they would make no effort to
save it, and limited that any move
to do away with it, would be accepta-
BILE to them.
Quite little dispute arose when the
subject of the next meeting place was
mentioned. Kokomo and Gary were
the leading cities named, and the meet
ing seemed almost evenly divided be-
tween them. After some discussion,
the February convention was award
ed to Gary.
The state. basketball championship
series which starts soon, was discus
sed and met with the approval of the
school authorities. Medical inspec-
ton in schools was also mentioned, but
owing to the varying conditions in diff
ferent towns, no definite action was
taken.
