ARE MAKING PLANS
To HELP THE POOR
Charitable Organizations Be-
gin Their Work of Assist
ing the Needy. -

The first touch of winter today
forced many extremely poor people to
ask aid of the charitable institutions
of the city. Again the question arises
GERS of benevolent associations if those
who request fuel, clothing and food
during the winter are worthy Of as
sistance. In most cases, however, in
vestigation proves the first assertions
of those requesting aid. to be true.
Captain II. H. Deuter, head of the
local branch Of the Salvation Army,
stated today that he is making plans
to raise money to carry on the work
here this winter. Within a short time
appeals will be sent to business men
and others requesting financial aid.
Last year $1,150 was realized from
this source. Captain Deuter expects
to raise at least the same amount this
year.
Preparing For Winter.
I'VE are getting ready for the winter
work." said Captain Deuter. Il expect
that there will be just as much suf-
fering among the poor for want of fuel,
clothing and food this winter as there
has been in the past.
"On Thanksgiving Day we expect to
do considerable good. We will have
the assistance of the school children
again, and we will try to make people
truly thankful for that day. On Christ
mas believe the Elks lodge will help
us and cooperate with the army as it
did last year"
In 1911 James Howarth, Wayne
township trustee, spent $3,944O1 to
help the poor of the city and Wayne
township. OF this amount a large
amount was expended for coal orders.
In 1910 the amount spent by the trus-
tee was between $4,000 and $4,000.

WAS NOT DOING
INTERSTATE TRADE
Holzapfel Wrote This to the
Department Early in
the Year.

1t developed yesterday that Henry
Holzapfel. owner Of the packing plant
from which federal inspection was
withdrawn last May because he was
not engaging in interstate business,
himself addressed communication
to the department of agriculture at
Washington in which he said that he
was not doing an interstate business.
This letter is on file with the depart
ment at Washington.
The letter was written at the time
ing an examination of his plant and
suggesting changes to bring the plant
up to the standard demanded by the
regulations of the department of agri-
culture.
DR.. o. c. Wagner, federal inspector
at the Stole plant. denied the charg-
es made by Councilman Weishaupt in
the council meeting Monday. that he
had ordered changes in the Holzapfel
plant and that subsequent improve
ments were made under his supervi-
sion.
Denies Weishaupt's Charge.
DR.. Wagner said that it is not with
in the sphere of an inspector To- or
der changes at a plant, and that the
bureau maintains department which
attends solely to this matter. To order
changes in the arrangement of a plant
is against the regulations. He denied
the allegation of Councilman Weis-
haupt that he had ordered Holzapfel to
slope the floor of the dressing room
to the north. Weishaupt in the coun-
ell meeting asserted that the depart
ment had subsequently ordered Hol-
zapfel to tear up the floor and give it
southern slope. The installation of
the sloping floor. DIR. Wagner said
was made after he had been ordered
out of the plant by the department
The inspector said that the improve
ments at the Holzapfel plant were
made at time when the owner knew
that the government had ordered the
withdrawal of inspection. DR.. Wagner
fere in the course of improvements
which Holzapfel began to make after
the government ordered the first in

He also pointed out that the depart
ment has plans and estimates for pack
| ing plants with a capacity four times
as great as the Holzapfel plant, which
will cost only $4,000. DR.. Wagner

es ordered by the government in the
Holzapfel plant would not cost $1,000

gagged today with 10000 Bulgarians

Stretched in battle line nearly so
miles long between the heights of Kol-

on at every point.
Late advices said that the Bulgar-
ians were being driven back and that
Czar Ferdinand's army had already
lost 1000 men killed. wounded and Ia
ken prisoners. The Turkish losses
were equally heavy due to the deadly
artillery fire of the Bulgarian batter

A telegram from Constantinople said
the Turkish government had received
notification that the entire Ottoman
army at Adrianople was engaged.

Moving from the beleaguered city of
Adrianopie in beautiful sortie the
Turks drove back the Bulgarian lines
and twelve hours of fighting what had
looked several days ago like inevita-
BILE Turkish defeat was turned to ap-
parent victory. But the Bulgarians
fought fiercely contending every inch
of ground that they were compelled to
give up. The Bulgarian batteries sta

Turkish soldiers.
The principal divisions of both ar

the Bulgarian generals may have de-
cided to occupy strategic points in the

Lars Whitcomb, Former Law
Partner, Says Ex-senator
Received $4,000 in the
1904 Campaign.
CANDIDATE TO BE
WITNESS SATURDAY
His Friends Say that the
Money Sent to Him in 1904
Was Returned in the Orig
inal Checks.
(National News Association)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Lars
Whitcomb, former law partner of AL
bert J. Beveridge, testified before the
Clapp investigating committee that a
campaign fund of $4,000 was furnish
ed Senator Beveridge in 1904 by G. W.
Perkins. Edward Mclean, of Ohio, and
Clifford Pinchot.
The Indiana Progressive leader has
requested that he be heard Saturday.
Harry Starr, Of Chicago, formerly
of Richmond, Indiana, who was sum-
moned as witness, has not been
heard from
Mr. Whitcomb was questioned by
Senator Pomerene concerning the ex-
istence of campaign fund for the In
diana senator in 1904 Whitcomb made
the direct statement that Perkins sent
about $4,000, Mclean about 5000
and Pinchot the remainder.
Checks Sent Back.
Senator Pomerene asked Mr. Whit
comb if he knew what was done with
the five checks aggregating $57,5O0
sent to Beveridge.
Yes, they were sent back" he re-
piled
"All of them?"
Every one"
Whitcomb then testified that Bev-
eridge went out of practice in 1899
when elected to the senate as he did
not believe that man holding public
office should have private clients.
Whitcomb said that he saw three
checks for $4,000 each returned to
G. W. Perkins. Senator Clapp tried
to find out if the witness was sure he
had seen $4,000 returned to Perkins
as the latter had testified that Bever-
idge had sent back one check for
$4,000.
John F. Hayes, of LaPorte, Ind, who
! was Beveridge's secretary in 1904, con-
firmed the story told by Whitcomb in
every particular, except that he be-
lieved the Pinchot contribution was
one of $4,000 instead Of $4,000 as Whit
comb had testified. He was asked to
give his opinion as to why these con-
tributions were made. He said Nc
Lean was a cousin of Beveridge and
that Perkins friendship for Beveridge
began many years ago when Beveridge
a young book agent, met Perkins, a
young life insurance agent, in the
West
Leopold Rothschild, surveyor of GUS
| toms in indianapolis, who was a mem
ber of the Indiana state committee in
| 1904, said that he believed the state
committee received $4,000 from the
national committee for campaign ex-
penses. He declared, however, that
Harry S. New would know more about
that than he did. The witness then
said Beveridge showed him a number
of checks and drafts, aggregating over
/ $4,000, which he intended sending
| back to the doners. Rothschild said
be advised against this for fear of of.
! Tending the doners. He said Bev.
eridge then reconsidered his resolu.
ton and decided not to return the
checks until after the election.

Beethoven's Spider Friend.

When studying the violin as boy Of
eight 1t was Beethovens custom to
shut himself up alone in little room
because it was inhabited by spider
which loved his music so much that
when the boy played it left its web
and came near to listen and at last
climbed upon the arm with which he
was holding the bow. The young mu-
stefan became really fond of the spider.
But one day his aunt entered the room
while he was playing. saw the spider
walking along her nephew's arm ana
Instantly knocked it off with slipper
and crushed 1t. Young Beethoven
wept over his dead friend and refused
to play his violin any more. 1t was
only after lapse Of three weeks, and
in another room, that he resumed his
studies, and his first thought was to
compose a plaintive melody to which
he gave the title, "Elegy to My Friend
Spider"

A German medical journal draws at
tentiou to a possible factor in the
spread Of infectious conditions Of the
mouth, nose and pharynx that Is insult
ficiently recognized in many house
holds. 1t points out that common Ia
BILE utensils, such as forks, spoons and
glasses, which come into contact with
the mouth, are usually washed all to-
gether, often with little care, and dried
on the same cloth. This gives great
opportunity for the distribution of in
fective agencies. For this reason par
ticular care should be exercised in fam

sources. The infectious germ is so
minute that the eye does not detect
its presence. 1t Is necessary, there
