POLITICAL PARTIES
D|SCLA|M WRITING
RELIGIOUS SCREED

Last night number of handbills de-
nouncing the Catholic church for what
was alleged to be an attempt on its
part to control the government, and
mentioning several candidates for
county and congressional offices as
being either members of that church
or closely affiliated with it. were Sc
cretly distributed about the city. The
bill was signed "A. p. Al
Republican, Progressive and Demo-
cratic headquarters today disclaimed
and responsibility for this effort to in
ject religious aspect into the politi-
cal campaign.
Il do not know who the authors of
this violent and uncalled for bill are,
but I do know that the Progressive
county and state organizations are not
responsible. The Progressives are
making their campaign strictly along
issues of governmental, economic
and political nature. We have made
no effort and have no desire to inject
personalities or religious controversies
into this campaign" said J. c. Price,
Progressive county chairman.

ST, LOUIS CHARITY
PAYS FOR RETURN
OF POOR FAMILY
Agrees to Take Back COlOred
Persons Sent to Rich
mond - Melpolder Saves
Local Society's Money.

The first fruits of the transportation
agreement into which Richmond enter
ed recently and completed the signing
OF papers yesterday, have been re-
ceived.
Recently Secretary Melpolder Of the
Central Bureau of Charities was called
on for assistance by a colored woman
named Mary Thomas, who lives in a
box car near the south end G.. & 0.

ary with her two children on a free
ticket furnished by the St. Louis char
ity organization through it's agents.
The third child was born in the box
car where the family is living.
St. Louis sends Fare.
Mrs. Thomas wanted the central bu-
reau to send two of her children to
the Home of the FriendIess or to
Whites Institute where the annual eX-
pense on the organization would be
$3.50. Mr.. Melpolder wrote to the St.
Louis charity organization before Civ
ing an answer. Today he received a
reply.
The st. Louis organization stated
the case as 1t was known in that city.
The organization then instructed Mr.
Melpolder to return Mrs. Thomas and
her children to st. Louis on charity
rate and send the bill to the organiza-
ton.
Had Richmond not held the trans
portation agreement the St Louis or
ganization could have refused to take
Mrs. Thomas back. Holding the
agreement, Richmond's bureau can re-
turn any dependents within nine
months after they are sent here, but
in return must stand responsible for
nine month for persons sent from here

BERLIN, Via Amsterdam, Oct. 90
Because Of the heavy losses they have
suffered the Belgian forces in Nieu-
port have been compelled to retire,
according to statement issued at
the war office at midnight. The Bel
gians have been replaced by French
troops, and the Belgian town is still
held by the allies, but German military
experts believe that it will be evacu-
ated because of the success of the
German troops to the southeast.
1t is announced that the withdrawal
of the Austro-German forces before
1vangOrod and Warsaw was accom-
plished with great success, the Rus
SLAMS being unable to pursue rapidly
because of the losses suffered in the at
tacks along the Vistula.
Belgian Loss Heavy.
"Our troops continue to make gains
in the western theatre of war" says
the statement, though no decisive re-
suit has been attained on the Franco
Belgian front. Terrific losses have
been sustained by the Belgians at
Nieuport and their forces there have
been replaced by French troops who
continue to resist obstinately.
Fierce fighting continue on the

we are steadily forcing the enemy
back. The French losses in this re-
gion are the heaviest they have sus-
tanned since the conflict opened.
Retire In Galicia.
''In the eastern theatre of war,
heavy fighting still continues in Gala
cia. On the Vistula front our troops
have taken up new positions. having
withdrawn successfully from superior
Russian forces brought up to reinforce
the enemy's line. The Russians were
unable to pursue our troops because
of the heavy losses they suffered in the
German attacks.
The situation about Lyck and along
the East Prussian front is good.
"The number of casualties among
German troops recorded from the lat
est lists totals 231,218, divided as fol-
lows: Killed. 36.531; wounded. 159,-

CITY REJECTS PLEA
TO ALLOW 5. 5, |. A.
USE OF HOSE HOUSE
Works Board Declare Fire
and Street Departments
Need Space to Store Hose
and Roller.

A proposal made to Mayor Robbins
yesterday by Hans Kohl, Frederick
Hackman and William Duning, grocer,
representing the German Alliance and
the South Side improvement associa-
ton, that the old South E street en-
CINE house be remodeled, the first
floor for storeroom, the second floor
as a public meeting place, was not
favorably received by the board Of
public works today.
The old building is used as a munich
pal storage, and if the suggestion Of
the south side people was carried out
the city would have to rent place
for storing the steam roller, scarifier,
flusher and to hang fire hose.
City Needs Storage.
The cost of remodeling the building,
plus the expense of renting a new
storage place, would not make the
venture a profitable one, it was
thought, although Duning is willing to
rent the first floor for store purposes.
1t was pointed out that the second
floor of the old building has been re-
paired from time to time and that
the south side organizations are per-
mitted to use it without charge. Dur
ing the discussion Engineer Charles
called attention to the need of a munic-
ipal barn and storage place for the
use Of the city light plant, street and
health departments. A few years ago
plans for city barn, 104 by 60 feet to
be located on North Second street near
the crematory, were drawn up, and he
showed the board these plans. He said
that at that time this project was
abandoned because it was estimated
such building would cast between
$5, 900 and $4,000.
Board members said that possibly
within two or three years such
structure could be erected, but until
that time it would be best to con-
tinue the use of the old south end en-
CINE house as a municipal storage

CRAWFORD RETURNS
TO RE-TELL STORY
OF TAGCAR7'S men
Former Democrat Will Ad-
dress Wayne County Vot-
ers as Chief Speaker at
Centerville Meeting.

Earl Crawford, "Wilson Democrat"
and representative from Wayne and
Fayette counties in the last legisla-
ture, returns to Wayne county tonight
to tell the people why he cannot con-
scientiously support the Democratic
ticket this year and why he has cam
paigned all over Indiana this fall in
the interest of the Progressive party.
Crawford will speak at a meeting to
be held at Centerville. G. H. Hoelscher,
Progressive candidate for joint repre-
sentative, will speak at the same meet
ing Crawford and Hoelscher will also
speak at a meeting to be held at Cam
bridge City Saturday night. Mr.. Craw-
ford lives In that section of the coun-
ty and it is expected a large crowd of
his friends and neighbours will hear
him.
Tells Of Corruption.
At both meetings Crawford will tell
the inside story Of the last legislature,
the same story he recently told an in
vestigating grand jury at Indianapolis.
He will tell of the corruption prac-
ticed in the name of the people by
the Democratic leaders, and how the
Taggart machine. to show it's extreme
contempt for the intellig ence of the In
diana voters. had the audacity this
year to nominate the speaker of the
1913 house of representatives as Dem
ocratic candidate for secretary of
state. This was the straw that broke
the cameIs back for Crawford and in
disgust he turned to the Progressive
party as the only one which can pos
sibly restore popular government in
boss-ridden Indiana.
Ebert Russell, Progressive candi-
date for congressman, did not hold
noon meeting today but spent his time
meeting with and talking to shop en-
ployes in Richmond. Last night he
spoke at College Corner and was
greeted by the largest crowd that has
attended a political meeting in that
town this year.
Hoelscher spoke to a good size
crowd at Chester last night and receiv-
ed a hearty reception.

BRITISH CLAMP
LID OF CENSOR
ON WAR REPORT
Give No Explanation for
Sudden Tightening of Gen.
sorship on Dispatches
From Continent.
BY HERBERT TEMPLE.
European Manager Of the international
News Servive.

LONDON, Oct. 29.-After its strict
ness had been relaxed for several
weeks, the censorship was suddenly
tightened again today. Many of the
dispatches coming through from conti-
mental correspondents were cut down
materially and some were held up in
full. No explanation could be obtained.
1t was stated unofficially at the war
office that the allies are holding their
ground in Belgium and France.
There is no doubt that German is
planning an aerial invasion of England.
A Brussels dispatch says that the shed
for Belgian dirigibles at Etterbeek has
been more than doubled in size since
the Germans seized them, and work
is going on night and day upon new
sheds on the aviation grounds at Ber-
cham-St. Agothe.
Ostend Offers Base.
AS long as the Germans hold Ostend
they have an open route from Bussells
to England for their Zeppelins. 1t is
believed that a number of the German
airships formerly along the Rhein have
been sent to BRUSSELS, and that city
will be the center of airship opera
tions
A Brussels dispatch says that the
searchlights used by the Germans
make it impossible for any hostile air
ship to approach the shed there at
night, and during the day aeroplanes
keep up constant watch.
Among the machines there is said
to be the armored Zeppelin, recently
launched at Friederichshafen. This is
believed to be the flagship Of the
squadron that is expected to attack
England.
Every possible precauticn to pre-
vent an aerial raid by the Germans is
being taken by the British. The chan
nell is patroled night and day by aero
planes and the military authorities de-
clase that if the Germans attempt a
cross channel dash they will receive
great surprise.

CITY COMPROMISES
WITH west S|DERS
ON DUMP PROGAM
Works Board Agrees to Pur-
chase Land Around Site
From Time to Time and
Abate Nuisance.

At meeting between members of
the board of public works and mem
bers of the West Side improvement
associations committee on public i'm
provements last night satisfactory
understanding was reached in regard
to the Randolph street dump.
A tacit understanding was reached
that no bond issue be floated by the
city in the near future to convert the
site into park, 1t being decided that
a wise policy to pursue in this matter
would be the gradual requirement of
the property in the vicinity so that
ultimately the site could be converted
into a playground for children. The
city has appropriated $1,000 to be
used next year for the betterment of
the dump, and this money very prob
ably will be spent for the purchase of
new land.
The dump has been abandoned by
the city, and while new property is
being secured from time to time, every
effort will be put forth to prevent the
dump from becoming a nuisance.
Il do not believe it would be fair or
just for the city to invest $4,000 in
making the dump site a park, if the
city had that money to spend, when
there are so many out of work in
Richmond and anxiously seeking en-
ployment," Mr.. Bavis of the board re-
marked. DAY after day men come
to the city building asking for work
SO that they can provide fuel, clothes
and food for their families, and If the
city had $4,000 to spend at this time
I would much prefer to inaugurate ex-
tensive street improvement work to
provide these men with jobs"
In this sentiment expressed by the
board president the members of the
West Side association committee con-
Cured.
