POO INFANTS FOR
A SUNDAY SCHOOL

A remarkable record for local Sun
day school work is shown in the re-
port of the First NJ. E. church. Mrs
u. D. Ramsey, superintendent of the
cradle roll department of that Sunday
school, secured over two hundred in
fants for her department last week.
Mrs. Ramsey made a personal canvass
of the city, asking parents not inter
ested in other churches, to identity
their children with the First NJ. E..
institution. At the beginning OF the
week. the cradle roll contained II
names. 1t now has 225. This is con-
sidered the best record in local Sun
day school history.
The above work was done as a step
in the campaign of the Methodists to
have an enrolment of 1000 by Easter,

WASHINGTON. Dec. 19.-It was an.
nounced from the Progressive Repub-
lican headquarters today that it would
be necessary to move Senator La Fol
lette's speaking date from Richmond,
Indiana, from December 23rd to Janu-

account of a change in the Ohioi itin-
erary. Senator La Toilette goes to
Richmond under the auspices of the
Hoosier State Progressive League. No
further change in date for the Rich

lively announced.

DEEM PRICE GUILTY
OF MANSLAUGHTfR
After 47Iz Hours, Jury Re-
turns Verdict Against
Slayer of Avery.
palladium Specially

EATON, O., Dec. 19.-After deliber-
ating for forty-seven apd one-half
hours on the evidence produced in the
case of the state against Charles E.
Price, charged with second-degree
murder, a return of manslaughter was
made about 3 o'clock Monday after
noon by the jury. After it had been
announced that an agreement had been
reached, Price was brought into court
and the jury's finding read. Follow
ing he was placed in the county Jail
by Sheriff William S. Boner and will
be held until sentence is imposed. 1t
was announced Tuesday by the de-
fense that a motion for new trial
would doubtless be made. and in the
event that the request is favorably re-
ceived by Judge A. c. Risinger he will
be released under bond.
The return of the jury carried no
surprise, because with the continued
length of the session came a stronger
belief that an effort was being made
on the part of some juror or jurors to
either reduce the charge or make it
acquittal. Though it is not to be auth
enticated, it is said that the jury was
hung on the failure to get into line
two of its members, one who voted for
the original charge and onother who
desired to have Price acquitted 1t is
also currently reported that an agree
ment was only reached after the ac-
quittal man had promised to change
his vote provided the juror who want
ed second degree murder would come
down to manslaughter.
The members of the jury are far

struck Andrew F. Avery with an axe

consciousness. Price was arrested for
murder in the first degree, but the
charge was reduced by the grand jury

dictment for second degree murder
was returned.

NORTHERN SURVEY
FINISHED MONDAY
Field Men of r. & E. |. En-
tered Portland, Ind, on
Monday Afternoon.

Completion of the northern section
of the traction survey was made Mon
day afternoon, by the field squad Of
Jeup and Moore, employed by the
Richmond and Eastern Indiana COM
pany, when they entered Portland,
Indiana.
The survey ran parallel to the L., T..
and w. tracks for stretch OF over d
mile near Portland, and entered the
town from the east. just south of the
railroad tracks. They carried the
survey only part Of the distance
into the town, leaving the line some
distance from the actual terminus in
Portland, as the directors of the r. &
E. line wish to come to some agree
ment with the connecting lines be-
fore locating their station.
The engineers returned to Indiana
polls Monday night to rest for a day
or so before continuing their work.
Charles w. Jordan. secretary of the
proposed north and south traction
line, states that the field men have
been making Unexpectedly good pro-
gress. They have been held back but
little by the weather. and consequent
ly have completed the As mile stretch
in three weeks. Jordan also says that
they have unearthed no especially dit
ficult engineering problems.
According to the plans of the direc-
tors. Jeup and Moore will be asked to
send their squad here again before
the end of the week to settle the most
perplexing existing problem, viz. Sc
curing suitable exit from Richmond.
Three possible exits on the north have
been already surveyed. leaving the
city by Sheridan. Nineteenth, and
streets respectively.
Nothing will be done south of the city
just at present The directors are
awaiting some action by the officials
OF the Indianapolis and Cincinnati
road, but will probably take so,.Ie
definite action within a few days.

RUSSIANS ANGRY.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 19.-Offi-
cial and public feeling is pitched to a
critical tension here today as the re-
suit of the United States action in
connection with the Jewish passport
question and expressions are freely
made that the efforts of the American
government to "bludgeon Russia" as
it is termed here, into acceptance of
her demands must lead, if persisted
in, to a parting of the ways, CONNER
cially at least, between the two ma
tiOns.
From private sources it is learned
that Russian officialdom from the
Car down, is almost unit in it's op-
position to granting any concession
from Russia's traditional stand on the
Jewish passport question.
The Cars reply to President Taft's
notification of abrogation of the trea-
ty of 1882 will be simply reiteration
of Russia's former answer to interpret
lations on this subject, it is semi-of-
ficially stated. Dominant classes here
are giving vent to open expressions of
anti-Americanism and President Taft
is being held up as politician who
is attempting to make political capital
in his own country out of an intern
tional question.

"OUR JIM BACK
IN TAFTS CAMP.

Diplomatic relations between the
White House and former Represen.
ta:ive James r. Watson have been
resumed-an event of some politi-
cal importance as bearing upon the
Indiana developments. For q good
many months Mr.. Watson was per-
soma non grata at the executive Of
fees, but it was learned that a rec
onciliation was effected last Satur-
day evening which restores the en-.
tente cordiale
The break between the White
House and Mr.. Watson lasted the
greater part of year. Mr.. Watson
could not agree with President
Taft's Canadian reciprocity policy
and used some very rugged Iangu-
age in describing his inner feelings
toward the President. Before dipIo-
matte relations were finally severed
last spring Mr.. Watson called sew
eral times at the White House and
was unable to get any further than
the third assistant door-keeper.
Recently. through the efforts of
mutual friends, arrangements were
made to bring the President and
Mr.. Watson together, and an audi
ence was arranged for last Satur-
day afternoon for that purpose.
The White House was compara-
lively deserted at the time and they
had an opportunity for long talk.
Hereafter when Watson calls at
the White House he will not have
to cool his heels on the outside, but
the doors will swing open for him
as readily as they do for Joe Keal-
ing, James p Goodrich and former
Senator Hemenway.
Watson will be expected to pro-
tect the administrations ramparts
in the Sixth District from the hot
fire OF Rudolph Leeds's batteries
and to see that two Taft delegates
are chosen from that district

WASHINGTON. Dec. 19.--Conven
ing two hours earlier than usual the
senate met at noon today confronted
by the greatest diplomatic and com
mercial crisis of many decades, that
developed out of the nations over
whelming demand for the abrogation
of the Russian treaty of 1882. The gal
leries were crowded with spectators
when the senators were called to or
der for what was expected to be the
most historial session of many years
The senate was disposed to proceed
slowly and with caution in abrogating
the treaty.
Several senators had received pro-
tests from Bohemian and other Slavic
societies and individuals against abro.
cation of the treaty unless the ter.
mination should be coupled with the
provision for the negotiation of a new
convention. Some of these protests
came from Cleveland, Buffalo and De
troit.
1t was pointed out today that it
would be possible to allow action OF
the senate to go over until after the
holiday recess.
The resolution to ratify the presi
dents action in notifying Russia OF
the intention of the United States alb
rogating the treaty of 1882 was taken
up in the senate Immediately after the
disposal of routine business. Senator
Lodge moved the consideration of the
sub resolution, which he presented yes
terday, for the Sulzer measure which
passed the house. Many members OF
the house drifted into the senate.
When the Sulzer resolution was laid
before the senate, Senator Lodge who
had recognition, yielded to Senator
Raynor who Immediately addressed
the body. He delivered vigorous
speech setting forth reasons why the
treaty must be terminated, stating it
would be cowardly for this country to
back down from the stand it has TAX

WILL TEST A CLAIM
of an Alleged Germ Dis
COVery.
(<ationaI News Association

PARIS, Dec. 19.-The bacterlolo-
gists connected with the Pastaur insti-
tute and germ specialists throughout
France have begun a series of careful
experiments to test the justice of the
claim of DR.. Siegel, the Berlin bacter-
iolcgist, who has just startled the
scientific world by the announcement
that he had succeeded in discovering
and isolating the germ OF the boot
and mouth disease. one of the most
dreaded scourges of cattle. It had
always been the opinion of scientists
that the germ of that terrible disease
not be isolated because it was SO small
that it passed through every kind of
filter. DR.. Siegel has named the haciI-
lus Cytorrhytes and is SO confident OF
his discovery that he has staked his
reputation as a scientist upon the
truth of his statement French scien.-

IA BILLBOARDHID
MULTITUDE OF SINS
They Protect the Eye from

Many Vacant Lots, Coun-
cilmen Are Informed.

Becoming highly excited over the
, subject OF billboards. during a discus
! sion Of their merits and demerits in
council Monday evening. Mayor Zim-
I norman emphatically declared that
the billboards are not as obscene us
the pictures OF almost nude women
tributed each year by numerous local
merchants.
Pictures OF women in rainy day
skirts, printed on calendars are worse
than posters which are placed on bill
boards in the city. the mayor believes.
Arising from his throne the presi-
dent of the council brought his fists
down with acrash upon his desk and
declared that he was astonished at
local business men attempting to ell
inmate billboards when some mer-
chants commit acts against common
decency.
( His Honor Surprised.
} I'm surprised at some of our mer
chants that they would kick against
Wucu lIlty dIIOW tltII
names to be printed on obscene card
boards" was the assertion of the
mavor.
Mayor Zimmerman defended the
billboard. saying that 1t covered un-
slightly lots and old buildings. He as
serted that some people are cranks
and that only cranks wanted the bill
board at Tenth and Main streets re-
moved However. he said. IL the lot
was not in such a deplorable condition
as 1t is. 1t might look better If the
billboard was removed.
"The general public Is complaining
against the billboards. but they are
6ettW to look upon them than dirty,
weedy. filthy looking lots" he said.
II have inspected the billboard at
Tenth and Main streets and I have
found that it Is substantial and not
dangerous to any one. although
would suggest that the boards which
support 1t be bolted instead of nailed"
Following his talk the mayor was
given a round of applause.
