NOT INJURIOUS TO
]. MIND BUT TO BODY
Declares DR.. Davis in Speak
ing of Effect on Endur-
ance Contestants.

How do you think an endurance
test on piano. or on roller skates, af-
fects a man either mentally or physic-
ally; say for instance, If he is in ac-
ton for SO hours?" DR.. r. H. Davis.
city health officer, was asked. He re-
piled:
mo, not mentally; physically, He's
affected mentally or he'd never try a
strain like that. 1t reminds me-" con.
tinued the genial doctor. "of man
driving as near the edge Of preci
fpice as he can without falling over"
DR.. Davis said that the permanent
result depended on the physical con
dition of the contestant and on the
training he had undergone, previous
to the trial.
Sherman White, a local piano play
er. began an attempt to break the
worlds endurance piano record at
o'clock on Friday morning in the Col
iseum. He will try to play until
o'clock Saturday evening. He hal
trained some time for the test, playing
from 5 to 10 hours each day.
Thistiethwaite's Views.
Coach Glen Thistlethwaite, Of Earl
ham college. one of the most success
full athletic directors in the state, sait
that he could see no real value in thi,
kind of endurance test, as it applied te
sport. He spoke both of roller skat
ing and piano playing. He says the
nerve strain in such a test is tremen
dous. The chief value of sport. ac
cording to the Quaker director, is thu
competition which cannot be had ii
races against time. The nervous ten
sion of a competitive race is some
what counteracted by the excitement
which the contest creates. There il
none of this competitive excite
ment" in an endurance test agains
time.
Regarding skating tests in the Coli
scum, Thistlethwaite said that the cir
Gle, or course was too small, and thi
for one thing increased the physica
danger.
Sherman White, Fred Miller an,
Harrison Fry, the latter the worlds en-
durance champion roller skater, de
clare there is no i'll effect of the en-
durance tests when the contestant
have property trained. They admi
there is some temporary fatigue fol
lowing the trial, but it is only temper
| airy.

At meeting of the local W. r. c.,
held on Thursday at the court house
Mrs. Kate, Scott, of this city, was un.
animously indorsed for the nomina
tion of department president of the
Indiana w. r. G. Mrs. Scott's name
was presented by the Sixth District
convention. The other two candi
dates for the office are Mrs. Estelle
Hoffman of Hartford City, and Mrs
Bueiah. Frazier, of Warsaw. Indica
, tions from various reports received
from over the state are that Mrs
Scott will receive very general sup
port and her election is looked upon
as more than likely.
Elaborate preparations are being
made by the parade committee tt
make the parade to be held on the
second day of the G. A. r. convention
Thursday, May IS, great success.
conservative estimate indicates tha
there will be between one thousand
and fifteen hundred old soldiers tt
take part in the pageant. The line ol
march has not been determined up
on, but final details will be made a
the meeting OF the committee MOnda,
night in Capt. Paul Comstock's office
in the Comstock building.
! Plans for Parade
The parade will form at Fourth anG
Main streets promptly at. 1880 O'Clock
A squad of police will head the pro
cession followed by a band. Next il
| line will come the marshal and hi:
aids followed by the post from The
| Marion Soldiers Home. Thereafte
the posts will follow in numerical or
der. The officers of the Women's Re
lief Corps, Ladies of the G. A. r. ant
Ladies' Auxiliary of the Sons of Vet
erans will ride in carriages. An invi
itation has been extended to all thu
! lodges of the city having uniform
marching bodies to take part in tn,
| parade. The committee desires that
be notified as soon as possible as. vi
+, to the present time, but one respons'
has been received. There is move
ment on foot to organize mounte'
body to take part in the parade also.
| At least six bands sent here from
different cities over the state will pro
vide music. Ambulance service will
be provided for, and physicians will
! be in attendance. In event it shoult
prove to be an exceptionally hot day
the line of march in all probabilit,
will be cut short for the benefit o
the old soldiers who will walk in tn

We appeal to all friends OF a
good cause to come to our aid In
this campaign. We are relying on
the members of our church TO con-
tribute generously. but we hope
that friends OF Earlham College,
and men and women interested in
the success and well-being or edu-
cational enterprise, will give their
financial as well as moral assist.
ance.
The cause Is worthy one. Earl
ham has contracted q debt OF
$4,000 and the debt must be paid.
The college has property to show
for practically every dollar OF the
debt, and the institution should
have the burden OF this debt re-
moved.
We are starting with approxi-
mately $4,000. 1t should not be
difficult work to raise the remain
ing $4,000. But we must raise the
entire amount to succeed at all.
Each pledge is conditional and It Is
$4,000 or nothing.
We are going to work, and we
are going to work hard.
The campaign is now on and It
will be brought to a glorious con-
clusion on Commencement Day.
We are ready for YOUR subscrip-
tion NOW Morton G. Pearson,

MURDER OR ASSAULT
THE POLICE ASKED
Tentman Alleged to Have
Struck Snowman with
a Tent Pole.

Whether to slate Lewis Shaw for
murder. or plain assault and battery,
was a question which put the police
in a quandary for some time on Thurs
day night. Shaw, arrested in the east
yards of the Pennsylvania railroad by
Patrolmen Fee and Bundy late on
Thursday night, is alleged to have
crept up behind Emmitte Alscranco, a
tentman with the Young Buffalo cir
Gus. and struck him terrific blow on
the back of the head.

Backed by the determination and
energy of more than two hundred act
i've supporters Of Earlham, q state
wide campaign for the purpose OF rails
ing $4,000 to pay Earlham's total In
debtedness. became effective today
with the announcement OF the cam
paign by President Kelly during the
celebration OF May Day.
The campaign is unusual In two re-
spects. It starts with practically
$4,000 pledged, and it Is to be an au-
tomobile campaign. Working in
teams, the men OF the organization
will be driven in big machines all
through Indiana, Western Ohio and
Eastern Illinois.
While the members OF the Friends
church in the Indiana and Western
Yearly Meetings will be expected to
come to the front for Earlham. the ef-
fort will not end there. Every friend
of Earlham and the cause Of educa-
tion--so far as they can be reached
will be urged to support this move
ment to free Earlham from debt by
Commencement Day.
Sources of Debt.
Briefly. the Earlham debt comes
from several sources, and totals ap-
proximately $4,000. The major por-
tion OF the Indebtedness is due to the
erection of the new heating and light
ing plant an absolute necessity.
There is small obligation in connec-
tion with the new library and Bundy
Hall, and an administration debt. The
payment OF these debts would leave
the college unhampered in its work
and absolutely self-sustaining.
The campaign begins today, al
though it is probable that the teams
| will not get into the field before
Tuesday or Wednesday OF next week.
And from now on until Commence
ment Day-June 21--there will be no
rest for the men who have shouldered
the responsibility Of directing and exc
cutting the plans of campaign.
All pledges to be received will be
| taken upon the condition that the en-
tire $4,000 be raised. II the total on
June 81 falls short of $4,000, none of
| the subscriptions will be binding. It
| is all or none with the men who are
| behind the effort. Those who make
pledges will be given three years In
which to complete their payments.
A thorough organization has been
perfected and q welIdefined plan of
campaign has been outlined. At the
head Of the entire movement is the
campaign committee. composed Of
eight men and led by Morton C. Pear

c. A. R. SOUVENIR
ISSUED ON FRIDAY
Is of Exceptional Merit and
Will Be Placed on Sale
Saturday-1O Cents.

The official program and souvenir
booklet of the thirty-second annual
encampment of the G. A. R. came of
the presses on Friday morning and Is
beautifully compiled. 1t contains the
names of the persons composing the
various committees in charge of the
encampment with pictures of the
chairman of each committee, a history
of Wayne county during the civil war
period. an account of Indiana's illus.
trious war Governor, Oliver P. Morton,
with cuts showing his birthplace a
few miles west of Richmond. Also a
cut of his residence in Centervflle
which is still standing. and in which
he was living when elected lieutenant
governor; how the fugitive slaves
were helped in Wayne county by Levi
Coffin and wife, and much other valu.
able interesting literature concerning
this county's early. history.
The book was compiled and arrang
ed by Demas S. Coe, secretary of the
executive committee, through whose
efforts the souvenir was made possi-
BILE. Mr.. Coe deserves much credit for
the splendid manner in which the
book is gotten up. The work involved
a great deal of time. It will be on
sale at all the book stores and news
stands of the city and will sell for ten
cents. The receipts will be added to
the funds to be used to defray the en-
campment expenses.
The 1911 Encampment.
1t seems peculiarly fitting that the
1911 encampment of the Indiana de-
partment- Grand Army of the Repub-
lie. which falls on the semi-centennial
anniversary of the beginning of the
civil war. should be held in Wayne
county, the birthplace of Morton. No
story of the part that Indiana played
in the great conflict can be accurately
told unless there be woven therein the
story of the great achievements of In
diana's war governor. Richmond es-
teens it great honor to entertain the
Indiana department, Grand Army of
the Republic, and it's various auxiliary
bodies. and in paying homage to these
guests it also is paying tribute to the
memory of the most illustrious of
Wayne county's sons, Oliver Perry
Morton.
