OLD BAPTIST BIBLE
STILL USED HERE
New Revision by Baptist
Publishing House Meets
With Little Approval.

"The Bible that now rests on my
pulpit is likely to remain there for
some time," said prominent Baptist
minister of the city when asked about
the new Baptist Bible. which has just
been issued by the Baptist Publication
society
The new Baptist Bible attempts as
far as consistent with the strict inter-
probation of the thought to eliminate
obsolete Elizabethan words, and to re-
place them with those in modern use.
1t seeks to improve in the translation
from the Hebrew and the Greek, and
even attempts to put a more logical
light on the story of Jonah and the
whale.
Il am not fully acquainted with III
the features Of the new Bible" said
the local minister. hut. from what
know of it, am of the opinion that
the Bible in its present form will con
tinue to be acceptable to us. believe
that the Bible as we are familiar with
1t, is pretty generally understood s'a
In the story of Jonah and the whale,
the new version has the word great
fish," which is said to be nnore aoch-
rate than whale" The story Is theGS
however. and Baptists accept it al =
part of the Bible. The fact that f<e
publishing house has issued Z nGM
Bible doB not necessarily mean that
Baptiats will acoept 1t in all tier

SENSATIONAL CASES
ARE EXPECTED NOW
Wills to Be Summoned Be-
fore Judge Fox for Con-
tempt Of Court for Not An

More indictments have been return
I'd by the October grand jury, which
has been investigating cases during the
last weeks. Just how many indict-
ments have been returned and the
names contained in the true bills can
not be published at this time, as ar
rests have not been made.
The true bills, it is understood, are
against men at Greensboro, who were
connected with the Greensboro fire
and the Greensboro bootlegging cases.
The indictments were returned yes
terday before the grand jury adjourn
ed until next Monday.
Warrants for the arrest of those in
dicted have been issued, it is said, and
as soon as possible arrests will be
made in the case.. .....-

Wills Not Located.
/ l.. A. Wills, the druggist in Green's
fork, whose stock was destroyed in
the fire, and who failed to appear be-
fore the grand jury when subpanRd,
has not yet been located.
"The matter of Wills failure to ap-
pear is now the hands of the
judge" said Prosecutor Allen today.
4"Of course is it contempt of court to
fail to appear before grand jury
when subp@ned, but If, Wills is en-
tirely out of our jurisdiction and In q
place where we cannot get him then it
is likely that the matter will be drop
ped. However, if he returns he may
be brought into court for contempt"
1t is not known whether the drug
gist was to have testified in the fire
Investigation or in the bootlegging
cases.
According to reports from Green's
fork. many empty whiskey barrels and
bottles are being shipped from the
town by persons who fear they may be
suspected of selling liquor. 81
A large number of Greensboro resi-
dents testified before the grand jury
and several were recalled for the Sec
Ond or third time.
Last week, the grand jury reported
two indictments-one against Mrs.
Mae Fee Moore, the confessed .mur-
deress now confined in the Home for
Friendless Women, and the other
against Harry Kelly, now in the coun-
ity Jail, Indicted on the charge of GRIM

IS CENTS ANNUALLY
FOR PUBLIC HEALTH
This Is the Per Capita Ap-
preparation for Health
Preservation. -
"The conservation of human life

"The conservation of human life
constitutes the grandest movement Of
the twentieth century"
This is the proud boast of the lead
ing medical authorities of the world.
and practicing physicians in Richmond
concur in the assertion. Never in the
history of the world, say local physi-
clans. has so much money been spent
by cities and individuals in the pre-
vention of disease as in this decade.
Startling facts and figures secured
today show that Richmond annually
spends only IL cents per inhabitant
for health preservation.
The health board of the city of
Richmond does not obtain enough
money to carry on successful fight
with disease and death, despite the
fact that the city has eminent physi-
clans to assist and counsel the board
in the warfare, declare persons who
are interestedlin the preservation of
public health.
The sum of $3.50 represents the an
nual outlay of the city to safeguard
the health of the city, This sum is dis
tributed as follows: Meat inspector
$40; dairy inspector $1,000; market
ma1er $720; health officer $500; mem
bers of health board S120.
Contrasted with the relatively small
appropriation for the protection of
health is the amount expended annual
ly for the prevention of fire The city
spends SAL. 100 annually on the fire de-
partment Divided among the inhabit-
ants of Richmond. this sum approx
mates s1.S1 per capita.

DR.. Wiley in a lecture here in Octo-
ber said statistics show that persons
die in Richmond sixteen years before

MADE
BY CHARITY BOARD
1t Criticises the Inadequate
Water Supply at Coun-
ty lnfirmary.

A subcommittee of the Wayne
county board of charities investigated
conditions at the Reid Memorial hos
pital, paying especial attention to the
wards where charity patients are kept.
The committee reported that the pa
tients were receiving the same treat
ment as the patients who pay their
hospital bills.
i The conditions at the county in
Urinary are satisfactory to the board,
excepting that the water supply is in
adequate. When the p, c., C. & st.
L. railroad improvements were made
just south of the institution, the reser-
voir which is the source of the water
supply was cut Off The culinary ar
rangements of the institution were
criticised and the board will recon-
mend that a new range be purchased
by the county commissioners. The
same suggestion was made to the COM
niissioners last yeArsa There are forty
five patients at the institution at this
time. -
The pipes which supply heat IN the
women's cells at the Home for Friend
less Women. are placed too high, ac-
cording to that committee which in
vestigated that institution. The lower
parts of the cells are not heated prop
eriy, causing the patient to be uncom-
Portable at times. ~.
Both the city and county Jail were
inspected by B. F. Wissler, of Cam
bridge City. He reported them to be
in sanitary condition, and found no
fault with the management.
The reports of the subcommittee
We're incorporated into a document,
copies of which will be submitted to
the board Of county commissioners and
with the state board of charities. The
Wayne county board of charities has
no Jurisdiction over the institutions,
but its suggestions as to improvements
and changes are usually acted upon
fayorably by the authorities in charge
of the charitable, penal and correc-
tional Institutions.

LOCAL PHYSICIAN
APPROVES THE STEP
Believes that Only Regis
tered Surgeons Be Per-
mitted to Operate. L

Resolutions which if made effective
through legislation will require that
every physician in the United States
shall have been recognized and regis
tered as a competent surgeon before
he is allowed to perform surgical ope-
rations, adopted by the Clinical Con-
gress of Surgeons of North America,
held in New York City last week, are
of utmost Importance, according. to a
local physician and surgeon who at
tended the congress-.
The resolutions propose that col
leges and other appropriate authori-
ties shall be vested with the power
to award supplementary degrees to
physicians qualified for surgical work
and that the standard shall be set by
national legislation. .--....--...-.--.. Z
s"This matter of course viii have To
come up before the regular surgical
congress to establish the standard
and then work will begin to secure the
passage of state and national laws
meeting the requirements specified in
the resolution" said the local doctor
today. "It is a great thing and the g.
900 surgeans at the congress were
unanimous. in. passing it." .
To Protect Public.
The object of the plan is to protect
the public against, incompetent surg
cons by having a supplementary de.
gree to that Of M. D., before men are
legally entitled to practise surgery.
The college, it was suggested, will take
the same form as the Royal College of
Surgeons in London. -e-
"Dr. Franklin H. Martin, general
secretary of the Clinical congress,
think, is right in the statement made at
the meeting that this congress should
assume the responsibility and author
ity for standardizing surgery. / also
believe with DR.. A. B. Kanavel, treas
urer, that the standardizing of hospit-
al equipment and hospitals to the end
that the institutions having the high
est standards may have proper reoog-
milton among the profession, and that
those of inferior equipment be stim-
ulated to raise the standards Of their
work." 5s - p

Street church are reported to be ia
yorable to the consolidation.

tions of the church are now made by

est Quaker cities in the Middle West,
that Earlham college is here. and the
Indiana Yearly Meeting is held In this
city.
John H. Johnson, this city, mem
ber of the committee. is striving to

ports that Indianapolis is the only
competitor Richmond has to fear.
