The Palladium has received letter

Il have read the article in the Pal

less vaccinated. You know We can
have smallpox in mild form. SO mild
indeed it will be taken for simple
slight cold. Then again, it may exis,
in most virulent and death dealing
form. All the grades intermediate be,
tween mild and death dealing also may
exist. Hundreds of people have the
smallpox in mild form and never knew
it. They thought they had grippe OF
a slight cold, for it is true that in
their beginnings and symptoms small
pox and grippe cannot be differentiat
ed. l have little sympathy for the
person who has smallpox because ii
is within the power of all to render ouI
bodies immune to this disease by vac
cination. 1t is the law of the state OF
Indiana that smallpox must be quaran

the health officers to enforce the Law

MOTORCYCLE RACES
A FOURTH FEATURE
Speed Fans of Eastern Ind
lana Will Flock to the
Local Driving Park.

Motorcycle racing will have its in
PRODUCTION to the speed fans OF Rich
mond, on the Fourth of July. when the
Richmond Motor cycle club, will hold
an open meet at Richmond's motor
speedway" the Richmond Driving as
sociation park. east o fthe city. Back
ed by club of enthusiasts, with one
of the best motorcycle tracks in the
middle west and with the prospects of
many entries both from the city and
from Indiana and Ohio points, the
race meet is an assured success.
Secretary Carl Brown of the Club,
closed the deal for the track yester-
day afternoon, giving the local organ
izatiOn its use on the Fourth of July,
and for two other practice dates. The
Fourth of July meet will be merely a
''feeler" as to how Richmond will take
this kind of sport, and II the race is
we'll attended, as is the present indi.
during the summer. On Labor day,
another big event is anticipated.
Motor cycle racing on a flat dirt
track is said to be the most exciting
as we'll as the most dangerous of mo-
tor sports. High speed is maintained
by the powerful engines on flat tracks
as the machines may be slowed down
at the curves and then speeded to
the limit on the stretches. The dan.
ger of skidding at the turns, although
they are built on a wide circumfer-
ence, is great, and skilful plotting OF
the little but fast machines is requir-
ed to keep them on the track.
The Richmond track, according to
local motor cyclists is the best in
this part of the country. Although
termed a flat track" the course OF
the Richmond Driving association is
banked slightly at the ends, in this
way decreasing in slight way the
danger to contestants.
For the accommodation fthe big
crowd of spectators, bleachers will be
erected along the course of the track
Refreshment stands will be provided
for the convenience of the audience
The program will include one, two
three, five and ten mile races. Many
records are expected to be establish
ed. The Richmond motorcycle club
expects to put on some of the best
races in the middle west before the
end of the season.
The entry list for the race will be
opened soon, and is open not only to
local amateurs but to professionals
Cups and cash will be offered as priz
es and will be sufficient to drav good
men. The meet has been advertised
in eastern and western sporting jour
mails.

Be Given on the Chase

Everything is in readiness for the
presentation of "Sakuntala," the sen.
ior class play at Earlham college on

tions the play this evening will mark

chairman of the committee; and Miss
Virginia Graves and Miss Florence
Coles, two other members, have over,
seen the entire production.
The music this evening is looked
upon as an unusually fine part of the
production. Professor Will Earhart
who will direct the orchestra said that
the music was some of the finest clas-
sical music he ever played and added
that one evening the orchestra prac.
ticed until after eleven O'Clock. be-
coming so interested that it forgot the

The play this evening will mark the
opening the the new ampitheater at
Earlham which is considered the only
one in the middle west on a college
campus.

On Proposal of Railways Op-
Grating in State Increasing
Rates 40 Per Cent on
Small Packages.
SECRETARY JORDAN
HEADING MOVEMENT
Case Comes Before State
Railway Commission the
Last of the Month-Many
Protests Expected.

A state wide movement is being Or
, ganized by the Richmond Commercial
club to enter protest with the state
railroad commission against the pro-
posed increase of from twenty-five to
/ thirty-five cents in freight rates for
small packages handled by the rail-
road companies within the state. In
| statements by Richmond business
men, among whom the movement al
ready has been started, the proposed
forty per cent increase is termed ''un-
reasonable courageous" unfair
and other equally strong voiced senti-
ments.
BY the proposal of the railroad com
panies. the change in rates for small
package freight was adopted some
weeks ago and would have gone into
effect June l, but the state railroad
commission suspended the date for
the change in rates to become effect
i've July 81. At the same time the
commission announced the case would
| be given hearing at indianapolis on
June Goth. and the Richmond Com
mercial club and a number of other
Commercial bodies in the state will
enter strong protests.
Freight Affected.
! On hundred pound orders the rates
of the railroad companies is fifteen
cents per hundred pounds, if the de,
livery is made within fifty miles of
where the consignment was received.
But the proposed change does not af-
/ feet this class of freight. 1t is the
+ smaller packages, some weighing only
a few pounds, but bulky, and the com
| panies expect to increase the freight
charge on these forty per cent by rails
ing the rate to thirty-five cents.
! When Secretary Jordan received
word from the railroad commission
relative to it's suspension of the rates
! he at once notified the local dealers
most interested and who do a larI
4 business in this class of freight. He
Ialso has written to nearly every com
mercial organization in the state urg
| ing action be taken.
The numerous replies received by

| ed to the commission. While Secre
tary Jordan has not felt at liberty tC
make public their specific reasons fol
complaining, he has made known the
sentiment of these communications
One firm says that a forty per cent
increase in the freight charges will
be disastrous to it's business, as its
commodity has not increased in price
but every thing surrounding it's manu-
facture has increased. The head OF
this establishment believes that the
unfairness of such a charge could cas-
lily be shown by an investigation by
the railway commission.

travel about the country healing the
sick by the laying on of hands, DR.. F..
+. Yoakum of Los Angeles. brother
Of b. F. Yoakum, president of the
Frisco-Rock Island system. is holding
meetings in Southwestern Washing
ton. Nightly his gatherings are crowd
ed with sick people, as well as by the
casually curious. Some of the ailing
claim they have been given relief by
DR.. Yoakum, who makes no charge at
all for his minstrations, and who is
defraying his own expenses.
DR.. Yoakum is a graduate of the
medical school of the University OF

ticing physician in Los Angeles.
Later he gave up medicine to become
a Methodist preacher. and while thus
engaged was stricken with paralysis.
According TO his own statements, thir-
ty-two physicians endeavored to cure
him, but failed. He then was restored
to health by what ne calls divine
faith" After this he determined to
emulate Christ and travel about the
world curing others.
/ The healer makes no pretense of
! having divine personality, and, as all
his work is absolutely free, many PEG.
| ple are convinced of his sincerity. He
