SCHOOLS ADVISED
TO PLEAD GUILTY
Attorneys for Murderer Can
not Find Grounds For
His Defense.

George Schools, colored. confessed
wife murderer. said he would never
live 10 see the sun go down" IL he
thought he would be sentenced TO
prison for life. or sentenced to die in
the electric chair.
Schools was consulted by his at
torneys yesterday afternoon in a vain
attempt TO work up plausible de-
Tense. There are no grounds for a
plea of self-defense. the unwritten law
or temporary insanity. and after q
thorough investigation of the facts
concerning Mrs. schools death at the
hospital. the hope that defense al
leging malpractice or negligence on
the part of the attending physicians.
was given up yesterday.
Advised to Plead Guilty.
Attorneys for the defendant will ad-
wise him TO plead guilty and throw
himself upon the mercy of the court
There only hope is that this will save
him from the electric chair.
Schools is greatly worried over the
disposition of his case, and he breads
the thought OF confinement in the
state prison. to which he will newt.
ably be sentenced IL he pleads guilty.
for IL is not probable he will be sent
to the electric chair IL he enters q
plea of guilty. There Is small chance
that he will escape life imprisonment.
He is being watched closely at the
county Jail for fear that he will at
tempt to carry out his threat to COM
init suicide.
The police state the prisoner told
his father several days previous to
the murder that he had contemplated
killing his wife. This is a direct con-
! tradiction 20 the statement made in
his confession in which he said: II
did not think of killing my wife until
! Tuesday night, when l cut her and
left"
Mrs. Schools death at Reid Me-
mortal hospital can not be attributed
to negligence. attorneys for Schools
have ascertained. The second hem
orrhage was caused by the increase
in the blood pressure resulting from
placing the patient in the second state
of anesthesia.

ENERGY OF RADlUM.
One Ton of II Would Equal In Power
100000 Tons Of Coal.

One U on or u would Equal In Power
100000 Tons of Coal.
IL one could utilize the energy of a
ton Of radium through a space OF thir-
ty years IL would be sufficient to drive
a ship Of 1900 tons, with engines of
1900 horsepower, ut a rate OF fifteen
knots throughout the whole thirty
years To do this 100000 tons OF coal
are actually required. says the Chicago
Tribune.
These are not fanciful figures, for the
energy is there. though. as a matter Of
fact, 1t is unlikely that man will ever
produce much more than half an
ounce of radium a year.
Still, the fact Is important for this
reason-that science is convinced that
the radium in radium bromide Is not
the only element which possesses this
marvellous Sore OF energy. but that the
calcium in gypsum and the sodium I'm
common salt contain also this energy
content.
The evidence OF the wonderful atomic
energies in the common elements Of
everyday material 10 rapidly accumu,
lating, and scientists are of the opinion
that perhaps these same discoveries
may I'm time alter the whole future Of
the human race.

PLAN MEMBERSHIP
CONTEST AT CHURCH
To Awaken Interest in Sun.
day School Work Is Pur-
pose of Campaign.

Plans have been formulated for a
membership contest to be held at the
First Methodist Sunday school for the
purpose of increasing the member
ship and awaken more interest in Sum-
day school work. At meeting held
last night at the home of E. E. Brown,
the school superintendent, various
committees were appointed and sew
eral plans of action were discussed.
The campaign, which is to begin on
the second Sunday in September, and
which will be terminated by a rally
day held the last Sunday in October,
is to be in the form of a contest. The
entire school will be divided into two
sections, with a leader for each, and
the whole matter under the direction
of an executive committee Thorough
organization has been perfected, and
many new and novel plans will be in
troduced during the campaign, but
will not be made public until later.
The new pipe organ will be set up
in time for use on the first Sunday
of the campaign. During the course
of the contest there will be two socials
held and various other social attrac-
tons during the week. The people of
the church are very enthusiastic over
the tentative plans. Rev. Parker has
decided to give up his vacation this
year and will remain at home to lend
assistance in the contest.
The following is a list of the mem
bers appointed to the executive COM
mittee, and list of the chairmen
of various other committees:
Executive Committees. H. Jones,

There ls Such a Condition as Having
Too Many Furnishings.

Many nervous, irritable. dissatisfied.
unhappy women would become calm
and contented If they would store, give
or throw away half of their belong
ings. Some have abandoned elegant
residences and taken their families
into hotels or boarding houses who
could have continued to keep up their
homes if, instead of giving up their
houses themselves. they had done away
with the superfiuous furnishings
Some one. often the mistress herself,
must clean and care for every article
of furnishing, no matter how humble
its use or how ornamental its function
and this round of duties proves many
times to be grievous burden on deli
cate shoulders.
There is such thing possible as hav-
ing too many utensils and tools to
work with, so that taking out, replac-
ing and keeping them clean and in or
der add to the daily labor. Too much
furniture in a room, so that walking
through it seems perilous attempt to
steer course without disaster. too
many garments to wear. for time is
consumed in caring for them, and even
in choosing what to put on.-Suburban

Notes
BY T. c. Fl.

President Browne has called a spe-
cial meeting of the post to be held in
the club rooms this evening. The pur-
pose of the special meeting is to as
certain whether the members desire to
have a picnic or not. There is some
little opposition to the picnic and it
is the wish of President Browne to let
the post decide the question. A large
attendance is urged in order to bring
out a full expression from the mem
bers.
Mr.. and Mrs. John B. Heggar have
returned from Clear Lake, where they
have spent the past month. They re-
port a splendid time.
Due to the destruction by fire of the
Layman- Carry company's house in In
dianapolis, James Lewis is taking a
forced vacation. Mr.. Lewis has been
associated with the LaymanCarry
company for a great number of years
and is one of the old time hardware
statesmen of Indiana. His firm expects
to resume business as soon as posi-
BILE.
Secretary Quigg is seen nightly toll
ing away over his books in his little
office in the club rooms. He has been
trying to figure out what Acting Secre-
tary Lebo did with all the money that
came into his possession during the
absence of Secretary Quigg. Lebo's
report to Quigg ran like this: Nothing
paid in, everything paid out. And
Quigg is looking for the fellow that
received some of the coin. OF course,
it wouldn't do to make any public
charge, but Lebo has a new cement
alley to pay for and cement allies cost
money.
Adolph Foss1er has succeeded Mar
ion Shreeve in his position as travel
ing salesman for Mitchell & Co,
wholesale grocers, of Indianapolis. Mr..
Fossler has been with the j. w.
Grubbs company, of this city, and is an
experienced groceryman.
Newt Worth, of Fort Wayne, for
merly of this city, was visitor here
during the past week. Newt has be-
come quite a farmer, having purchased
farm near Union City.
The delinquent list of Post has be-
come very small and is being cut
down gradually. If any member is on
that list he should attend to his dues
at once and be reinstated into the
good graces of his association. Insur-
ance is a necessity nowadays. Don't
be without it.
Word comes from Chicago that
Frank Highley has suffered a sprained
ankle and is walking arount the Windy
City on crutches. 1t is said he fell
over one of the tall buildings while
looking for some customers sign. At
any rate he is in good standing and is
placed on the pension list.
