NEW CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Under the leadership of Judge
Virgil S. Reiter, a type of high-mind-
ed public spirited citizen, the Ham,
mond Chamber of Commerce which
was organized in the court house last
evening is certain to be great fac
tor in the civic, moral, economic, in
dustrial and commercial development
of the city.
And Judge Reiter,> as president of
the club, is to have associated with
him some of the best and keenest
minds in the city. The board OF di-
such a character that 1t is certain /,
demand the respect of every citizen.
The high purpose of this new or
ganization was kept in mind when
the list of officers was selected by the
nominating committee. The direct
ing forces in it are broad-minded
men who will subdue any factiona
differences that may have existed in
the past and will work in the inter
ests of greater and better Ham
mond.
The directorate is composed of :
men, which will make it represent
ative body. 1t is too large to be
come the plaything of any particular
interests in the city and it goes be
fore the people of Hammond with /:
clean slate and the highest OF pur
poses.
This being evident the citizens o
Hammond may feel assured that thi
city at last has a forum for the dis
cussion of public questions in which
the result of such discussions is no
to be determined in advance of tn
!, arguments ,as has been the case IL
the past.
The membership of the club is nov
, 200 and it will certainly be increas
ed to 800. And when 800 of the hes
and keenest minds of a city Xix
, Hammond are concentrated on
J particular line of endeavor it may b
; Iexpected to have a tremendous infil
: ence on placable public opinion.

NORWALK, Ohio, Nov. 13.-Minnie
Lavalley was today more than ever

West Clarksfield, August 80, because
she refused to leave the village.
On the stand she admitted improp-

Stroup finally checked the attacks on
her character. The girls face burn
ed with anger and she declared the
men should pay for the additional
humiliation heaped upon her.
The admissibility Of one question as

advisement.
Perry Fennimore, a friend Of the
girl, testified that he went to the
village to call on her after the tarring
but that men of the village warned
him away under threats that he
would be given treatment similar to
the girls.

The governor said he had asked

their views and both favored the
idea. Nobody, the governor said, was
authorized to speak for him but he
would express himself adequately
when the time came.
The governor read President Taft 8

BAPTIST BIBLE
rs PUBLISHED
Brand New Version TO the Holy Book
For Benefit of One
Denomination.

limited Press Leased Wire Service
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. ia brand
new version Of the Bible with radical
changes of phraseology and the elm
nation and alteration of many Incl
dents was placed on sale here today
at the American Baptist Publication
society rooms.
The book is intended solely for the
use of members of the Baptist faith
and the King James and revised YER
sions of the Vulgate have been freely
changed In the new translation.
Passages in the new book contain
idiomatic English in contrast to the
archaic forms of the older versions.
Frequently the ancient text has
been interpreted in way that con-
fiicts with the generally accepted
meaning and in many instances this
is due to the fact that the words are
taken in their intensive and colloquial
sense rather than in the ordinary
method of translations
In that portion Of the Bible where
the incident of the Savior's baptism
is set forth, the improved version"
as the new book is called, uses the
word immense" as the equivalent of
the Greek "baptize." This is done as
in other instances, in order to make
the text conform as closely as possible
to Baptist doctrine.
Practically no other church will be
able to use the new Bible as it will
bear out teachings OF the Baptists
