Daniel @. Reid, One of
Americas Richest Men, Ar
rives in Richmond For a
Short Visit.

Business down east is very quiet,
and you are having very hot, muggy
weather out here" was the laconic
statement of Daniel G. Reid as he
briskly stepped down from his private
car on its arrival here this morning.
Further attempts to question Mr..
Reid on business conditions were un-
successful. Apparently the pleasure
of greeting friends and relatives who
were at the station to meet him, and
the undeniably hot, muggy weather"
were sufficient to drive all thoughts of
business from the mind of the return
ing former Richmond man.
Mr.. Reid is accompanied by his wife.
They are the guests of Mr.. and Mrs.
John B. Dougan of North Tenth street.
They will remain over night in Rich
mond and depart for the East again
tomorrow morning.
Mr. and Mrs Reid lunched this noon
with DR.. and Mrs. David Dougan at
their home in West Richmond. Other
members of the family who were pres
ent at the luncheon were Mr.. and Mrs.
John B. Dougan, Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac
Martha M. Fosler and Miss Constance
Fosler.
Rise To Prominence Rapid.
From messenger in the Second Ma
tional bank forty years ago to one of
Wall streets mightiest wielders of
financial power is the astounding
scope of Mr. Reid's remarkable busi-
ness career.
For number of years after he had
been promoted through various grades
of bank service to paying teller of the
Second National, Mr.. Reid, always ge-
nial and a splendid mixer, was a main
stay in building up the business of
what has become Richmond's largest
financial institution. While teller, Mr
Reid had the reputation of being able
to count off currency bills faster than
practically any other teller in Indiana,
and as fast as the best in the country
That his quickness extends to other
things is evinced in the rapidity with
which he has risen in the world of
finance in the few short years since
he permanently left Richmond in 1898,
just fourteen years ago.
In 1890 with the late William B.
Leeds, also a former Richmond man,
Mr. Reid formed the American Tin
Plate company at Elwood, Ind By
1897 this concern was the largest of its

cal Rumely Plant, Hands

AT GAAR'S 81 YEARS

Frank Land. for thirty seven years
connected with Gaar, Scott & Com
pany, both before and since it's mer-
ger with the NJ. Rumely company, has
resigned as works manager. Mr..
Lands resignation becomes effective

Thirty-seven years ago when fifteen

ed to head of the mechanical engi-
neering department.

recognized by the new firm and he was
placed in charge of the Richmond
branch as works manager
Comparatively Young Man.
Mr.. Land handed in his resignation
a month ago with the understanding
that it was to take effect July l. Thir-
ty-seven years of unremitting laboE are
given by Mr.. Land as sufficient rea-
son for desiring to drop active work
and lead a less strenuous life. Mr..
Land is a comparatively young man,
| being only fifty two years old. He says
he expects 10 take at least weeks"
vacation before determining what, and
how much of, activity he will under
take in the future.

PARCEL POST STAMP
is THING Or PAST

Special parcel post stamps required
for parcels will be a thing of the past
after July 1. Postmaster General A.
S. Burleson, of Washington, has issued
an order that there will be no more
parcel post stamps printed, and that
any stamps, including commemora-
tive issues will be valid on parcels
after Tuesday. AS there are a num-
Der of parcel post stamps out, these
stamps will be valid on all classes of
matter until the supply is exhausted.
Postmaster Haas and the employees
of the local postoffice are pleased with
the order. as the former rules were
often disobeyed and caused trouble
and delay for postal clerks. With
all stamps valid on any class of mail,
the work of sorting and stamping the
mail can be carried on much more
rapidly than formerly.

NETTIE ROBBINS
GRANTED DIVORCE

Nettie Robbins was granted a di-
yorce from William I. Robbins this
morning. The case was not contested
by the prosecutor. who said it was
meritorius. Robbins is said to be a
drunkard and failed to provide for his
wife, whom he twice married. He
first married the plaintiff in 1910, stat
ing at the time he was a divorced man
and showed his mother-in-law a paper
purported to be a decree granted in
Bellefontaine, O., legally separating
him and his first wife. After their
marriage his mother-in-law became
suspicious of him and wrote to the
clerk of the Bellefontaine court con-
corning the divorce. She received a
reply that a divorce had not been
granted him there. He then separated
from his wife and married her again
in 1912

Very Generous To Richmond.
Despite his enormous business acti-
vities MIR. Reid has always evinced
warm feeling for his birthplace. Rich
mond has been the recipient of many
benevolent gifts from him. The Reid
Memorial hospital and the Reid Memo
rial church are splendid examples of
the manner in which Mr.. Reid has
shared his good fortune with his for
mer townsmen. When the Young Mems
Christian association was first propos-
ed and the campaign started TO obtain
funds for its erection, Mr.. Reid's lib
eral contribution assured its success.
Later, when il was felt necessary to
ness of the institution and provide for
it an endowment. Mr.. Reid generously
volunteered a further large sum.
Whenever any of Mr.. Reid's old
Richmond friends are in the east they
find his latch string most Hospitality

Many a newcomer to Richmond al
such times has had his currency count

Few Richmond people outside oi

that Mr.. Reid is one of the largest in
dividual investors in local institutions
He is a stockholder in three financial
institutions and several manufacturing

Wilson Administration Com
pleted Ruinous Policy
Towards Mexico.
SITUATION is SERIOUS
Former Local Man Says u. S.
Should Adopt Position
Immediately.

Declaring that conditions in Mexico
have so shaped themselves as to
gravely endanger the lives of Amer
lean residents in Mexico, William Den
mis-, son of Prof. d. w. Dennis, of
Earlham, who is visiting his father,
states that the situation in the United
States sister republic is far more Sc
rious than the average American re-
allies.
Mr.. Dennis is in position where he
can be quoted as an authority in this
regard, as he is one of the leading
lawyers Of international law at Wash
ington, and has made a specially of
Spanish-American law and conditions.
He was connected with the state de-
partment during a former administra-
tion.
Completing Ruinous Policy.
He believes the present administra-
ton has completed ruinous policy
toward Mexico that was first begun
under the Taft regime. The practical
effects of the United States foreign
policy under Taft especially, in the con-
struction placed on a recent amend
ment of the neutrality laws, secured
by President Taft and Senator Root,
was to lend support to the Madero ad-
ministration in Mexico. This alien
ated any regard the insurgents may
have had for American interests in
Mexico, and they began a campaign
that has destroyed a large amount of
property held by American investors
The insurgents finally succeeded in
overthrowing the Madero government
Inasmuch as this was accompanied by
the death of Madero under circum-
stances of the greatest suspicion, the
Wilson administration has so far re-
fused to recognize the government set
up by Huerta. Since the Huerta-Diaz
faction is partially composed of for
mer adherants of Madero, another
large class of Mexican citizens has

State Chemist Sinner Sends
in His Report to Health
Officer King.
NO PTOMAINE POISON
Trouble Was Infected Food
Illness-He Asks For
Wide Publicity.

Infected meat was responsible for
the illness of at least two hundred
persons who ate box lunches at the
Earlham college homecoming celebra-
ton, according to the report sent to
health officer DR.. King by Superin-
tendent Will Sinner of the state lab
oratory of hygiene at indianapolis.
The ham became infected with some
intestinal bacteria when it passed
through the hands of the mixer into
the sausage grinder, although he had
no samples to make test Of The
warm ice-box served as an incubator
and when the meat was eaten 'it
was literally a pure culture Of the in
testinal bacteria with which it had
been infected on Monday"
This was the explanation for the
illness made by Superintendent Shi-
mer, who was SO certain that his dag
nosis was correct that he made no
mention in his report of the samples
of pimento and cheese sandwiches
sent to the state board of health by
DR.. King.
Was Not Ptomaine.
DR.. Sinner also states that the
victims did not suffer from ptomaine
poisoning, as was generally believed
here by persons who investigated the
affair, and explains in his letter that
ptomaines play but small part" in
these cases resulting from infected
food .epidemics.
DIR. Sinners belief comedies with
that first formed by Health Officer
King. The latter, though stating his
belief that the meat was the cause of
the epidemic failed to send samples
of the meat to the board of health.
No action will be taken against the
person or persons responsible for the
condition of the meat No fatalities
have been reported as results of the
Illness and, so far as DR.. King has
learned, the people who were made
sick are gradually recovering their
normal conditions.
Letter from DR.. Sinner.
Following is the letter forwarded
to DR.. King:
Your letter of ,'"ne 25th to DR..
Hurty referred to me. l read an ac-
count of the Earlham affair and was
much surprised to hear of such wide
spread intoxication without meat, for
ham was not mentioned in the news
paper article. Nobody ever isolated
ptomaines which are reputed to play
such a large part in these food pois-
Dnings. The meat was infected, am
sure. with bacillus .xparatyphoid bacil
Ii, or @sope intestin sbacteria.
"The infection probably occurred in
some such manner as I shall indicate.
The meat on Monday was probably
ground in an ordinary sausage grind
er and mixed by hand. The hands of
the mixers either under the finger
nails or some more exposed parts
were infected by some intestinal bac-
terra. These were rubbed off in the
meat and the ice box at the warm
tempature at which it was kept served
as an incubator so that the meat on
Tuesday when it was eaten was lit
orally a pure culture of the intestinal

Ice is a household necessity for the

there is actual suffering now because
the required ice supply can not be af-
forded
Pleasing to Mrs. Warfel.
This is fire" remarked Mrs. Mil
lard Warfel. president of the Penny

Palladium intended TO solicit contribu-
tons for a free ice fund. The Penny
Club will be glad to cooperate in such
a movement. and IL deserves to have
the support of the public. Our organ
iZation will be glad to furnish a list
of names of deserving poor who need
ice. | would suggest that IL is not
necessary to establish free ice
tions. A more practical method wou
be to supply the ice company with
list of families and let the company
deliver the ice direct to the homes AL
often as necessary"
This suggestion. made by Mrs. War

be carried out. The Salvation Army
will also be asked to furnish names
