MARSHALL'S BOOM
J CAUSING BIG ROW
Moss Plan to Have Meeting
to Indorse Governor
Being Opposed.

Washington, May 27.-An effort is
to be made by some Indiana Demo
Gratis to call off the meeting engineer
ed by Representative Moss of the
Fifth district with the view of indors-
ing Marshall for president. The sug-
gestion for the meeting is said to have
originated with John E. Lamb.
Moss presented the matter to Sena-
tor Kern before he left for Virginia
Thursday. Kern agreed to call a meet
ing whenever the delegation desired it
and Moss gave it out that it would be
held June 2.
But there is big roar going up
from other Indiana Democrats and es-
pecially is this true of Kern's friends.
who say that it is aimed to rebuke
promoters of Kern's presidential boom.
Kern has declared that he is not a
candidate. To demand a formal COM
mitment of the entire delegation to
Marshall strikes kern's friends as inn
putting lack of good faith to Kern's
protested loyalty to Indiana's COVER
nor. Marshall's friends are said to
be working to secure for him the sec
ond place on the ticket with Wood
row Wilson. They could deliver the
delegation to Wilson in return for the
second place. This is not pleasing to
some Indiana men. So much complaint
is heard of the Moss meeting that it
is believed he will abandon it.

FELL NINE STORIES
Iron Worker Lost Balance,
Pulled Inspector Along

Washington, D. c., May 27.-Barney
Coughlin, one of the iron workers who
risk their lives daily, while trotting
around on narrow beams high in the
air, took one risk too many and plung-
ed to his death through nine stories
of iron network on the new Wood
ward building, Fifteenth and H streets.
AS he turned over and over in the fall
he struck A. B. Calf, a steel inspector,
naming FIVE stories. While Coughlin
was crushed and bruised SO that
scarcely single bone remained I'M
broken, Gait has but scalp wound,
some scratches and a possible frac-
'ture of bone in the left leg.
Gait, the target of human mis-
sile, who plunged from height which
would seem to mean instant death,
will no doubt be out of bed within a
few days.
Iron workers have steel nerves, but
the scream from Coughlin's throat. as
the man felt himself gone forever,
made every hammer stop In its tap
ping and the quick clutch of heart in
the throat" seized every man in the
building. 1t was scream that fright
end their very souls and turned their
strength into childish fears. Sixty
five men were working there and the
entire force quit work because of that
terrible scream.
There were men who saw every
inch of the fall. They happened to be
looking upward from the minute the
board upon which Coughlin was stand
ing gave way. They saw the man
plunge and heard the scream which
will perhaps stay in their ears forever.
They say that Coughlin reached out
to clutch at everything and in reach.

MAKES ANSWERS TO,
SUIT FOR ISLANDER
Two Of Wallingford's Replies
Held Not Sufficient for
Defense.

That he had denounced DIR. Arthur
H. Jones. the Whitewater physician,
pharmacist and general storekeeper as
saloon keeper and malpractition.
or because In the first place he had
drank intoxicating liquors as bever-
age and not for medicinal purposes In
the plaintiffs place OF business and
further that Dr. Jones had admitted to
him three acts of malpractice. was the
answer OF Manford b. Wallingford, OF
Whitewater, to the suit of the physi-
clan. In which the latter demands
5000 damages for Islander.
The answers of the defendant were
fiied In three paragraphs and the Sec
ond and third were held not good by
Judge Fox of the circuit court Satur-
day. In ruling on demurrer to these
answers. The attorney for DIR. Jones
had pleaded the answers did not con-
stitute sufYicient facts as defense.
The nrst answer Of the defendant In
which he admitted making the charges
was held good The defendants at
torney took exceptions to the courts
sustaining the demurrer to the last
two paragraphs
In January the Methodists of White
water we're holding revival. but with
out much success. when one evening.
Wallingford at the meeting declared
no revival could be a success in White
water with DIR. Jones living In the
town, SO DIR. Jones charges. He also
alleges wallingford then publicly ac-
cused him OF being guilty of selling
liquors In less quantities than five gal
Ions. and charged that he had been
guilty of malpractice. Not long after
wards DR.. Jones instituted suit In the
circuit court for $1,000 damages for
SANDER. The defendant is well
known man and owner of fairly
large farm.
Wallingford In his answer as to his
charge that Jones was saloon keeper
says he made this charge because he.
himself. had drank intoxicating liquor
upon Jones' promises. solely as a bev.
erage and In less quantities than five
gallons. He claims that DR.. Jones
told him he sold liquors for gain. Wal
lingford also In his answer represent.
ed to the court that he had seen peo-
pie come out of Jones' place drunk
and carrying packages OF wet" goods
IN less quantities than Ave gallons.
Relative to his defense In calling DR..
Jones q malpractitioner Wallingford
says the physician told him he had
committed such acts. and that Jones
led him to believe that on three occa-
sions. which Wallingford in his an
swer did not specify more minutely.
the alleged acts were not necessary
for the purpose Of saving the lives OF
the women operated on.
The case 10 now ready for trial 1t
will probably be held this summer.

FIND OAzEO YOUTH
ON TOP Of. A CAR
Lad Had Severe Cut on Top
of His HeadEHis Com
panion Is Missing.

When Conductor Jones, of a Penn
sylvania freight train bound into Rich
mond, climbed on the top of one of
his cars near West Sonora, O., about
25 miles east OF Richmond on the Lit
tie Miami division, last night, his
foot slipped in pool OF blood, which
seemed to be covering much OF the
top of TIE car. In the darkness he
was just able to distinguish the vague
form of man staggering along at the
other end of the car. swaying drunken
ly first to one edge and then to the
other as the train sped along.
The mans clothes were wet with
blood. which was trickling from a jag
ged cut on his head. When he was
seized and forced to lie down, by the
conductor. he lapsed into a semi-con-
scious condition and was dragged to
the caboose, where there was a hasty
examination. He gave his name as
Ralph Fritz, II years old. of Dayton,
o.
Fritz is now at the Reid Memorial
hospital Hospital officials say he
suffers from severe scalp wound,
but that he is not in a serious condi
ton.
Does Not Talk Much.
Very little of his story would he re-
veal. He and companion, who has
disappeared. started from Dayton to
Indianapolis. cumming their way on
freight trains. Why they left home
and the name of his companion Fritz
did not reveal.
After riding short distance from
Dayton. the boys climbed on top of
the freight car, and from that time.
until when he was found wandering
aimIessly around on top of the NOV
ing car, by Conductor Jones. playing
hide-and-seek with death, the boys
mind is blank.
Vaguely he remembers lying down
then a blood curd:ing scream, and a
crash and then blackness. There is
no hint of foul play. Fritz had some
money and other articles of value but
the boy had not been robbed and he
said he trusted his companion, after
long years of friendship. The blood
on the freight car top, it is believed
is from the cut in Fritz's head. He.
himself, remembers nothing of hav-
ing fallen or being struck. He is UNI
injured excepting the head cut. He
may have struck an overhead bridge.
The authorities here are inclined
to believe that Fritz's companion fell
to death between the freight cars,
or that he was struck by an overhead
bridge and that his mangled body will
be found later.
Police authorities are expected to
make an investigation of the mysteri,
Gus affair. So far Fritz has declined
to talk to anyone but the railroad ply
sician, Dr. c. S. Marvel, and to him
he has said only a few things. Whether
the boy is Withholding something, or
whether his lapse of memory is un-
feigned the hospital authorities do not
know.

SEASON
APPROACHES FAST
Richmond People Can Ex-
terminate Pests by Using
Proper Methods.

There is one little insect that almost
spoils the pleasure of the summer
months. Have you ever heard of the
mosquito? This little pest causes
more worry and bother during the
summer months, when no one wants
to be worried or bothered, than any
other in the world. Especially is this
true in cities located along some
river. like Richmond for instance
along the Whitewater river
There are many kinds of mosquitoes,
the most common in this state being
the carrier of malarial fever germs
This is what the residents of this coun-
ty must fight against.
The ideal method of discriminating
mosquitoes is to do away absolutely
with all possible breeding places, that
is, with standing water. whether in
ponds, bitches or puddles, or in old
tin cans. pals, rain barrels, broken
bottles, ETC., about ones own premises.
Drainig or filing in of all standing
pools and bitches of water and seeing
that there are no water-containing
receptacles around are therefore the
best and most satisfactory way of
doing away with the mosquito nui-
sance.
At best, however, the filing up or
draining of all ponds or bitches will
take long time, and meanwhile mos
quitoes will breed by the millions.
There is fortunately another means
of getting more immediate, even
though not permanent relief. The
pouring of kerosene oil on the water
is very satisfactory for it forms thin
film over the surface and the young
mosquitoes cannot stick their breath
ing tubes through this film to get air
Being unable to breathe they soon die
One quart of kerosene Oil is sufficient
to form film over a pool twenty fee
in diameter. over as large a part of
the pool as can be reached.
The only radical way of dealing
with the mosquito and malaria prob
lem is along the lines above laid
down. that is by preventing mosquito
breeding. If. however. the above
measures have not been carried out
the mosquitoes are not already pres
ent, something can still be done, at
least to make life indoors more bear.
able and to lessen the danger of con.
tracing malaria.
BY screening all windows and out.
side doors of the house not only will
mosquitoes be kept out but also flies,
and these latter, while not capable OF
carrying malaria are believed to be re.
sponsible for considerable proper
ton of all cases of a much more ser
ious disease-tynhoid fever. If you
cannot afford screens for the entire
house, at least screens for the bed
rooms, and if this is impossible, mos.
quito nets over the beds are better
than nothing.
Perhaps the best practical method
of freeing room of mosquitoes is by
closing it tight and burning pyrethae
powder, which is simply the best
grade of so-called insect powder
This smoke is not poisonous to the
human subject, though it is not ad
visable to breathe it unnecessarily. II
must be remembered that this method
does not kill the mosquito outright
but merely Supplies them. After the
powder has been burned out, the room
should be entered within a short
time and mosquitoes swept up and
burned before they recover conscious
