While Raymond Nicholson was wit
Messing a portrayal of the psycologi-
cal effects of the third degree on Grim
inal minds at the Murray theatre last
night, four young men, presumably au-
to bandits, stole his Westcott roadster
from in front of the brilliantly lighted
Murrette theatre, and dashing east on
Main street at great speed made good
their escape.
The machine was found in a ditch
near the Sycamore school house, three
and one-half miles east OF the city to-
day.
The robbery took place in plain
sight of a number of persons none OF
whom, however, realized the signifi-
canoe of the mems actions until too
late.
Woman Sees Theft.
Mrs. J. c. Gilbert, of the Westcott
hotel, saw two young men cross the
street from the Westcott to the road
ster. One climbed into the drivers
seat in the car and the other cranked
the machine. AS soon as the engine
started the latter jumped in and as
the machine gained headway two other
men darted across from the Westcott
and also boarded the automobile.
At Eleventh and Main streets the
machine was seen to slow down a lit
tie owing to faulty carburation due to
the engine being cold AS it passed the
Auto Inn it was noticed by Harry
Kemp who recognized it as Mr.. Mich
olson's car and thought it had been
taken by some 10y riders"
Holds Four Men.
Kemp noticed there were four men in
the machine. Two were in the single
seat, one was on the folded top at the
rear and the fourth was on the run
ming board. All wore sweaters, several
of which Kemp remembered were red.
Patrolman Harry Fee was at Seven
teenth and Main streets and attempt
ed to stop the machine on account of
the excessive speed at which it was
nails to stop. the roadster dashed by at
what Fee declared was terrific speed
and disappeared over the Main street
hill by Glen Miller park.
The robbery occurred shortly before
the conclusion of the last act at the
Murray. Mr.. Nicholson on coming out
of the theatre and finding his car gone
notified police headquarters. While
night sergeant Scott Winters was no.
tifying the police departments of near
by cities of the robbery, two automo-
bile parties started east in pursuit.
Trace Car by Tires.
Mr.. NichOlson's car which was equip
ped with non-skid tires was easily
traced by the tire tracks as far east
as Westville. There the tracks appar-
emily led east in the direction of Ea-

DANCE HALL ROW
ENDS WITH POLICE

From Place and Re
ceives Fine.

For forcing Edith Level to leave
a dance hall before the hour of mid
night, Junior Taylor. colored, was
fined 81 and costs in police court to-

who will soon marry Taylor, she says.
Taylor took Miss Level to a dance
on South Sixth street and after dane
ing from to 11:30 o'clock he told her
that he was ready to go home. She was
loathe to leave the bright lights and
refused to accompany her swain.
By force Taylor took her from the
place and in so doing, tore her dress.
She and her mother at once reported
the matter to the police. Taylor says
he did not slap the girl. as she con-
tended. His fine was stayed.

ton. One of the pursuing machines
owned and driven by Walter McWhin-
ney continued the chase to Eaton. He
was told there that no automobile ans
wering the description of Mr. Nichol-
sons machine and containing four oc-
cupants had passed through.
Supposing that the robbers might
have turned off before reaching Ea-
ton, MrWhinney retraced his route to
the first road going to Campbellstown
and went on to that place. At Camp
bellstown he learned that no machine
answering the description had been
seen.
Sid" Nestor. night bartender at the
Westcott, stated that the four men
were in the bar room at the hotel and
purchased some drinks shortly before
the robbery occurred, which was lit
tie after 10 o'clock. He described the
men as being young. two of them wear
ing red sweaters, one white and the
last gray or brown sweater. Three
were smooth shaven and the fourth
had a short mustache. Nestor stated
that he had never seen any of the men
before and believed they were stran-
gers and not local men.
Organized Gang.
Scott Winters, night sergeant. ad-
vances the theory that there is an or
ganized band of men operating
through the middle western states,
who have as their center some large
automobile headquarters, where sec
ond hand machines can be disposed of
easily, probably Chicago, the sergeant
stated.
He believes the automobiles are Ia
ken to secret quarters where they are
re-painted and changed in other ways
to prevent the recognition of the own
ers or police.
Chief of Police Gormon does not be-
lieve, however, that the theft last
night was consumated by any men,
bers of a band, but was inclined to
for Joy ride" and was left at some
it probably would take some time for
the news to get abroad.
During the last two months. great
er number of automobile thefts have
been reported from other cities TO the
local department than for the preced-
ing year, the chief stated. Detroit
seems to be the seat of most of the
thefts as twelve machines have been
reported stolen from there within a
short time. Toledo, Columbus, Dayton,
Indianapolis, Washington, D. c., Gin
cinnati and Clinton, Ind, also have re-
ported numerous thefts. From Muncie
and other cities, wholesale thefts of
automobile sundries and miscellane-
Gus equipment have been pulled off
within few weeks and no traces have
been found of the robbers.

sion of the Indiana yearly meeting
The reports of the board of trustees.
the treasurer. the statistical secre-
tary and information from the various
quarterly meetings was laid before
the yearly meeting
Permission was granted by the year
ly meeting for the consolidation of the
Whitewater monthly meeting and the
Westfield monthly meeting
Discussion of the statistical report
brought out the fact that the church
is spending $4,000 on itself and
$4,000 in outside work Eleven
churches in the yearly meeting have
an attendance of over loo, but only
three have an attendance of 200 or
more. Considerable comment was
aroused by the statemen; OF the fact
that the Friends church spends only
so per cent as much as other churches,
per capita. for church work.
\ bequest of the late Abbie c. Was
son. of Newcastle. of 500 for church
work was read.
Loss Discounted.
While the report of the meetings
shows that the yearly meeting has
sustained a loss of III in the last
year, it is believed that errors in en-
tries are responsible and that there
is real increase in membership OF
sc.
Memorials in honor of l. p Wooten,
of Puget Sound, and Everett Morgan,
of Plainfield, who died during the last
year, were read.
All reports read showed that there
is an active interest in the work of
the church. both in the Bible school
and prayer meetings, and that the
yearly meeting has lost little by de-
partures to other meetings or affilia-
tion with other denominations. There
are 12,5S5 resident members in the
yearly meeting.
The permanent board has recon-
mended the names OF Joseph A. God
dard and Leander ]. Woodland to the
yearly meeting to all the two vacan'
cies in Earlham College.
The following permanent board
members were named by the nominat-
ing committee and accepted by the
meeting: Bennett l.. Shugart, Martha

tion of the things in the community
which should be bettered, and then
teaching them how to better these
conditions.
A community is Influenced by its
institutions and the presence of the
school should have a good influence
on the institutions. The individual
who attends high school should be a
better member of his home than he
was before. The high school student
should be a more active member of
the church than those who have not
attended.
If the members of the senior
classes graduate from the high school
with the feeling that the primary pur-
pose of their work has been prepare
ton for their individual activity in the
world. the high school has failed. The
real purpose should be to prepare the
student for a realization of the faults

WARNS AUTO OWNERS
Police Chief to Arrest Unli-
censed Car Drivers.

Orders have been issued to the po-
lice to arrest any automobile owner
failing to display from his machine,
the new 1913 license, according to the
state law. The automobilists must
then show that they have applied for
a license or they will suffer prosecu-
ton.
Leniency has been shown by the au-
thorities in the past in dealing with
tardy owners, but now motor cars
drivers will find it hard to escape pros
ecution. The law prescribes a fine of
from SO to $50.
The state department has been slow
in replying to the inquiries of Prose
cutting Attorney Keller in the past and
yesterday Mayor Zimmerman went to
Indianapolis to make a personal inves-
tigation of the situation. He believes
that it is an injustice to those who
have purchased licenses, to allow 9TH
ers to go free and expects wholesale
arrests to result from the move of the
police chief.

Want Every Automobile.
Every automobile in the county,
decorated and in the automobile pa
rade on the last day of the Festival,
is the goal of Frank Jones, of the mo-
tor car parade committee. OF the 800
cars in the county he hopes to have
500 on display. Ford owners alone
have promised to provide a section
containing 200 decorated machines.
A Tuberculosis Exhibit.
At the request of DR.. S. Edgar Bond,
the committee on child welfare will
take charge of the tuberculosis exhib-
it. DR.. Bond will furnish a number
of photographs, and DR.. J. N. Hurry
Will send his anti-tuberculosis exhibit.
Haeerstown Coming.
Every home and every city within
thirty miles of Richmond is looking
forward to the opening of the Festi-
val. NeighbOring towns are planning
to send delegations. The Commercial
club of Hagerstown has organized a
body of several hundred visitors. The
schools and business houses of Foun-
tain City will close for the big event
Beginning Wednesday morning thou
sands of visitors will pour into the
city on train, traction cars, in automo-
biles, buggies and wagons.
Pupils Show Interest.
Much interest is being taken in the
Fall Festival by school children out
side of Richmond, according to c. 0.
Williams, who has been making a visit
of the schools during the past week
In practically every school visited by
the superintendent, children have sig
nified their intention of entering
stock, grain or some farm product in
the exhibits.
Teachers in the schools have sue
ceeded in stimulating interest among
the children.
From school No. 10, formerly known
as the Sevastopol school, near Fair
view, Bernard Damorell entered 10
ears of corn, Ralph Crawford made
similar entry and another boy entered
three bantam chickens.
Horace Rich, son of Oscar Rich, has
entered a sack of wheat which was
grown on his fathers farm. The
wheat is taken from the land on which
GA bushels to the acre was yielded.
This was the record in Indiana for the
largest yield and the quality is un-
usually good.
All exhibits of this kind will be in
the high school corridors.

impasSioned appeal for better work in
the home mission field.
The men who are doing the con-
structiye reform work of the present
day are not the descendants of the
fathers who made this a free country
and laid the broad foundations OF our
present greatness. No. they are immi-
grants, or at least the sons OF immi-
grants"
The speaker named a long line OF
present day social workers and reform
ers whose ancestry supported his
statement
The churchmen Of the present day
are but lukewarm descendants Of the
for something"
Mr., Tebbets asked the yearly meet
ing TO endorse the affiliation of the
churches OF the meeting with the unit
ed missionary campaign under the
auspices OF the Home and Foreign
Mission Boards of the United States
He declared that 16 large denomina-
tions are already behind this move
ment and that il behooves the Friends
church to get in the movement.
He said their reports of the home
mission of the Friends church do not
show what has been done like the re-
ports of other churches.
Work Becomes Cooperative.
The work of the church is becom-
ing cooperative and We must assist in
a general campaign with other church.
es II We are to get results"
The speaker also opposed the pres
ent method of raising church funds.
by assessments starting from the year
ly meeting and running down through
the quarterly and monthly meetings
to the individual members.
What We need TO do" said he. is
to conduct a general educational cam
paign that will familiarize the men,
bers with the broad work of the
church. Ii is impossible to get the
funds required from the members who
know little about the present day poll
cies of the church and what IL really
stands for. Let us educate them in the
work OF the church and their need for
the church and financial difficulties
will be over"
Campaign This Winter.
He asked that the yearly meeting
give its endorsement to the united
missionary campaign that will be
started during the coming winter. The
matter was about to be referred by Z.
