EXPERTS To PROVE
THE ADVANTAGE OF
THE CURRENCY ACT
House Committee Desires to
Show Its Advantage to
Rural Districts.
WOULD BE ARGUMENT
Conference Held At White
House Today on New
Currency Measure.
WOULD BE ARGUMENT
(National News Association


WASHINGTON, June 25.-Experts
employed by the house banking and
currency committee today began pre-
paration of figures showing the esti-
mates in the results, as regards the
distribution of banking resources, that
would be accomplished by the enact
ment into law of the Glass currency
reform bill, the measure which the
administration has asked congress to
pass. 1t is stated that the figures al
ready prepared show that the bank
ing resources of New York and
Chicago probably would be cut in half
by the bill.
The figures are expected to show
there would be a big gain in the bank
ing resources of the smaller cities
and rural districts and this will be
used as an argument in favor of the
bill when it is under discussion in
the house and senate, particularly to
obtain the support of members of
congress who come from the rural
districts.
At present it is known the sponsors
of the bill fear the charges that it is
bankers bill, and they will use these
figures to disprove such reports.

sorry to Murder of a Mar
shall, now Here.

65 days awaiting trial. He was
brought to Richmond by Sheriff Line.
The trial will be held in the Wayne

Young Men Have Narrow
Escapes At Thirteenth

Late yesterday afternoon while run
hour on Main street, rear tire on a
small automobile driven by Ralph
Spencer burst, causing the machine
to skid, and strike a tree in front of

while Spencer and Hunt remained in
the car and were cut and bruised.
None of their injuries are serious.

by a street car causing the tire to
burst. Witnesses to the accident
state, however, that the accident was
due to the high rate of speed which
the car was running.
Both the wheels on the automobile

READY TO LOCATE
PENAL FARM SITE
DR.. S. E. Smith Confers With
Other Members of Board
At Indianapolis.
(National News Association)

INDIANAPOLIS, June 25.-The Indi-
ana State Farm Commission recently
appointed by Governor Ralston to pro-
vide for the establishment and govern
ment of a correctional institution to
be known as a penal farm, held it's
first meeting yesterday at the Claypool
Hotel and perfected an organization.
DR.. S. E. Smith, superintendent of
the Eastern Insane Hospital at East
haven, was made president; G. A. H.
Shideler of Marion, a former warden
of the State Prison, vice president; w.
H. Hart, of Indianapolis, secretary, and
Willis Hickam of Spencer, treasurer.
The commission, which serves without
compensation will act in conjunction
with the board of state charities in
buying suitable farm of not less than
500 acres as provided by an act of the
last General Assembly. The appropria-
ton to be used in purchasing the land
amounts to 100000.
Ready For Offers.
The commission is now ready to
consider offers of land, which must be
of varied topography, with natural re-
sources and advantages for varied
forms of husbandry, fruit growing,
stock raising, brick making and the
preparation of road and paving ma
terial. Favorable railroad, drainage,
sewerage and water facilities also
will be sought. The commission is
prohibited from taking into considera-
ton any offer of land or other dona-
tions or inducements in deciding upon
site. Five hundred acres is the
minimum that can be purchased, but
the commission hopes to obtain a
larger tract with the appropriation.
The commission already has received
communications concerning proposed
sites near Delphi. Greencastle, Bed
ford, Brazil and Scottsburg
The commission members plan to
make an inspection of the penal farms
now in existence and hope to provide
state penal farm with location,
equipment and government which will
compare favorably with similar insti-
tutions of other states. An appropria-
ton of $4,000, available June l, 1914,
is provided for the erection of build
ings and expenses contemplated at
that time The institutions of this
character now in successful operation
are in Massachusetts, Cleveland. O.. ::

More Than 200 Cases Pt0naine
Poisoning From Lunch Boxes

cause and others claimed that the pi-
mento cheese sandwiches were respon-
sible.
More than $50 boxes containing
eggs, a pimento cheese sandwich, a
ham sandwich and a small can OF
beans were sold at noon yesterday.
Some of those who first purchased and
ate the lunches reported their illness
and an endeavor was made to call in
the lunches and prevent the visitors
from eating them. Those in charge
succeeded in obtaining 100 of the
lunches which were destroyed. 1t is es-
timated that $50 lunches were eaten at
noon.
Believing that the canned beans
caused the sickness. which was not
thought at that time to be ptomaine
poisoning, those in charge of the lunch
es removed the beans from the boxes
and substituted potato chips. About
500 lunches were sold last night.
Canned Pimento Used.
The ham and pimento, which were
believed to have been the cause of the
poisoning, were kept in the Earlham
storage refrigerator. The hams were
purchased whole and were sliced by
members of the lunch committee. The
pimento was canned.
The epidemic of ptomaine poisoning
broke out shortly after the lunches
were eaten. The older visitors at the
college were the first to become i'll.
Many of them had travelled long dis
tances and had had nothing to eat un-
til the lunches were served. Later
many young persons and children
were effected. The poisoning is very
painful and those who were we'll en-
ough to go home left the place in
smarms.
Woman Lost False Teeth.
One woman was very i'll and when
she recovered sufficiently to return TO
the college building. she discovered
that she had lost her false teeth. Most
of the persons effected did not seem
to be conscious of what was going on
around them while the poison was at
work.
Miss Jessie Williamson, Mrs. Green
and Miss Nolan. all of Dayton, were
taken seriously i'll with the poisoning
and were taken to their rooms in the
Westcott hotel They were taken home
later. Others who were reported seri-
ously i'll are Manning ". Smith and
son, of Philadelphia. John Macy of

EMBEzzLER PIPER
DENIED A PAROLE
BY PARDON BOARD
Spectacular Cagser of Rich
mond Criminal Told BY
John M. Lontz.
HE OPPOSES PAROLE
Lontz States That He Wants
Piper to Serve His Full
Prison Term.
HE OPPOSES PAROLE

The attempt of the family of George
M. Piper serving an indeterminate
sentence for embezzlement in the
Michigan City prison, to secure his
parole was defeated yesterday by
John M. Lontz of this city. Piper was
formerly travelling representative of
the F. & N. Lawn Mower company, of
which Mr.. Lontz is president. Mr..
Lontz read a statement to the State
Board of Pardons in session at India
napolis in which he set forth Piper S
spectacular career as a criminal eX-
tending from coast to coast. Mr..
Lontz argued that it would be unwise
to release such a man as Piper and
the pardon board agreed with him, al
though the attorney representing
Piper's family, Charles E. Shiveley,
stated Piper could have a position
with the Rumely company, and a
daughter, Mrs. Eleanor Boswell of
Boston, argued that her mother was
growing old and needs him.
Statement BY Lontz.
piper only embezzled $500 or $40O
from our company" Mr.. Lontz stated
today, land I had him arrested for
that offense, not with the expectation
of having him prosecuted on that
charge but to hold him until he could
be brought to trial some place where
his offense had been more serious To
my surprise he was arraigned in the
circuit court here and 'railroaded'

tence, with a minimum of two years.
] have determined not to let him off
SO easy as planned and will make
every effort to have him serve his
maximum term, fourteen years."
Failing for Fast Women.
A failing for fast women is said to
have been the cause of Piper's down
fall. Mr.. Lontz estimates that the
total amount of Piper's embezZlements
was about $4,000. at has been diff
cult to find out just how much he got
away with" said Mr.. Lontz. For
instance an Ohio business man recent
ly admitted that Piper had fraudulent
ly obtained $1,000 from him but he
begged me not to say anything about
it to the other officers of his COM
pany."
At the pardon board meeting yes
terday Mr.. LontZ criticized Judge Fox
of the Wayne circuit court for ing
his influence to secure Piper's parole.
Today Judge Fox denied that he
had signed a petition for Piper's re-
lease or had officially recommended
his parole. Judge Fox said that he
had written to the prison authorities
explaining that Mrs. Piper was in poor
health and needed her husbands S
financial assistance. but did not ad-
wise a parole. He further stated that

More than 200 cases of pto-
maine poisoning resulted yester-
day at Earlham college from
some food in lunch boxes which

probably the most seriously poisoned.
He was taken to his home as soon as
he felt ill. AS the poison took effect he
became unconscious and was placed
under the care of two physicians. His
case was so serious that the members
of the family were called to his bed
side and his death was expected He

be improving.
Mrs. Isadore Wilson was also in a
serious condition, having collapsed on
the grounds at Earlham. She was re-

THE WAY TO
SUCCEED.

Paraphrasing the words OF
Horace Greeley, The way to
succeed is to advertise" There
is scarcely a notable commerce
ial success that has not been
built upon the solid foundation
of advertising. and, likewise,
practically all good, clean,
honest business that advertises
legitimately is successful.
Whenever you see manu-
facturer cooperating with the
retailers of this city or a group
of cities or of all the cities in
the United States in an adver-
tising campaign on behalf of
his merchandise you may safe
ly make up your mind to three
things
First, the merchandise has
merit
Second. both the manufac-
turer and the merchant are pro-
gressive, dependable people
with whom to do business.
Third, they are successful and
merit your confidence and pat
ronage.
Manufacturers are beginning
to understand that the only
way to create actual, "over-the-
, counter" demand for a product
is to advertise it locally-in
daily newspapers.

rental influence. Religion, too, can
discountenance disrespect and estab-
lish it's authority by assuming an un-
yielding attitude toward those who are
unreconciled to restraint. The law
can command respect as it deserves it..
The welfare of the nation is not i'm
periled by conservatism or respect for
authority. They are the sure bases of
our governmental establishment. The
danger lies in the undermining of
either, in licentious regularity, in
the abuse of freedom. 1t is time to
gather in the reins, to curb extrava-
gance in language and action, to ac-

cept of the necessity for training. The
character of people determines their
greatness, not their wealth or learn
