LECTURER FEARS
SPIES FROM RUSSIA

Possessing a most particular palate,
which is especially developed in the
way of detecting poisons, AZ attempts
at his life by this method have been
made on three different occasions, Col.
Alexander NJ. Lochwitsky. who will
lecture at Earlham college on next Fri
day evening, has demanded of his man.
ager that he be entertained in pri-
vate home.
This always present fear of spies
manifested by the lecturer, who is an
escaped political prisoner Of Russia,
though Of an excellent advertising
character. is nevertheless real. The
ex-Russian avoids hotels whenever he
possibly can. The private home is al
ways selected by him when possible
as the safest place to lodge. and even
in this case the private home must be
highly recommended to him. not he to
it, 1t is said.

tention to the excellent progress that
is being made in the stenography and
typewriting department at the second

taken in it.

Not Disclosed.

Further confirmation Of the negotia-
tons for the sale of Gaar, Scott and
Company to the NJ. Rumely company
of La Porte, were obtained today from
an officer OF the former company He
stated that such negotiations were
pending but that their successful ter
mination depended upon the result of
the reports of the auditors and ap-
praisers now at work on the three
plants under consideration, the Ad-
vance company of Battle Creek, Mich,
being the third. Nothing more Of a
definite nature will be procurable until
these reports are made.
Further than this, this of1cer stated
that the successful termination OF
these negotiations for the sale of Gaar.
Scott and company would undoubtedly
be of great benefit to Richmond. He
stated that, under the new proposed
arrangement, the plant here would be
run at full capacity, and probably in
the near future would be enlarged
Under the sale the plant will still be
known as the Gaar. Scott and com
pany plant, even though the oficial
name of the company owning 1t is to
be the NJ. Rumely company. The same
will be the case with the Advance
company at Battle Greek.
He did not state the price asked fol
the plant by the local stockholders
saying he believed that was q matter
entirely private with the company'i
stockholders. He did state. however
that the sale would he an outright ons

BLAST PREMATURELY
ExPL0OES 10 DEAD
Hundreds of Miners Entomb-
ed and Death List May
Reach Fifty.
(National News Association

SPRINGFIELD, Ill.,, Oct. 23-Ten
and probably four more were killed
when an explosion wrecked one Sec
ton of the O'Hara, King coal mining
company, mine number five, near Har-
risburg, Illinois, at 8:35 o'clock this
morning. The explosion occurred an
hour after four hundred ard fifty min
ers had started work for the day.
The blast seemed to be due to gas
collected in one section of the colliery.
The demolished prop was hurled into
the narrow passageway. In an instant
all miners who were in nearby shaft
entrance scurried for the mine car
riage and were hurled to the top Civ.
ing the alarm.
At IL o'clock this morning the tel
ephone operator at Harrisburg, which
is $50 miles south east of this city
in Saline county said that mine Off
cials feared tn edeath list may reach
fifty.
There are only about half of the
men up at this hour and three bodies
have been taken from one of the en-
tries near the main shaft" she said
Back in the workings of the mine
there are scores of men pinned in by
the debris. 1t is feared that the shock
will prove fatal to them. Determined
efforts are being made to keep the
passage ways filled with carriers and
the men have been working incessant
ly. The mine rescue car of Benton
ILL.,, was rushed to the scene according
to a report at Harrisburg. 1t was ex
pected to reach the mine at noon.

pany is one of the wealthiest in the

ANXIOUS
ABOUT DECISION
Attorneys Will Inform Off
cials as to Course to Pur-
sue in Water Matter.

Speculation is rife as to the nature
of the decision of the attorneys for
the city, in regard to the question as
to whether the city has the right to
force the Richmond City Water Works
company to open it's books to council
manic investigation. The decision of
the attorneys will be announced this
evening when council meets behind
closed doors.
Whether Henry U. Johnson, the at
torney engaged by the city, and for
whose services in the fight against
the water works company the council
appropriated $500, will inform the city
officials that the books of the company
can or can not be opened is the para
mount question. At the regular ses.
sion of council last Monday evening
johnson was reticent, saying that he
did not care to make his opinion pub
lie unless the council voted on the mat
ter. He refused even to state whether
the city had the power to force the
company to open its books, unless
council voted that he should do so
A few councilmen are pessimistic,
believing that Johnson will inform
them that the city has not the power
to make the water works company do
this. They base their belief upon the
attitude taken by the attorney at the
last council meeting.
Other councilmen state that they see
no reason why the Co. can not be
forced to bring it's books before council
in order that the city may ascertain
the exact valuation of the plant.
Public sentiment seems to favor
open meetings for the discussion of
the water works question, and council
men are aware of this. They declare
that the only reason they voted for a
private session was because they gath.
cred from Attorney Johnson's remarko
that there may be some things that
the attorneys believe should not be
made public now, as the water works
company might use them to advantage
in fighting an attempt of the city to
inspect the books.
One councilman stated today that
thinks looked mysterious" and that
he was going to listen to the argu.
ments Of the attorneys and then tell
them what think and get out
E. NJ. CampAeld, of the company
which bears his name. which is bid
ding for a water works franchise, IL
confident that his company will sue
ceed in getting the contract. He de
clared today that his bid contains the
lower figures and the rates are much
better than those offered by the Rich
mond City Water Works company.
He says, however, If both bids are
rejected by council, that it will be i'm
possible to secure as low rates and
that even his company can not make
as low an offer again.
The people do not realize how 'aw
full low our rates are" Mr.. Campfielt
averred. "Our minimum rate of 50. 81
a year with no meter rent is very low
and the city will do an injustice to it:
citizens for the next twenty-five year,
