MONEY FROM EAST
OPPOSES PURTELLE
Capitalists May Construct
Hamilton C. ON n e rsville
Line at Once.

Connersville residents have receiv-
ed reports they say are on good
authority, that a Hamilton-Conn
vile traction line will be built soon by
eastern capitalists. The name Of
Eugene B. Purtelle is not linked with
the new project.
The proposed line is to run through
Oxford, College Corner and Liberty,
practically the same route the Purtelle
surveyors staked off. The report ema-
mated from College Corner. The Col
lege Corner authority for the state
ment is unknown.
According to the College Corner
News, agents for the new traction pro-
motors are going into the towns
through which the proposed line would
pass to arrange meetings with the cit
liens and ask their good will. The
College Corner paper says that no
money will be demanded. but that the
new line will be built with eastern
capital entirely.
Eugene Purtelle had established
headquarters in Hamilton when last
heard from. He said Hamilton was to
become the center of his activities as
building operations would begin there
within short time.

Capital.
TBY LEASED WIRE.I

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE house
today adopted a resolution to hold
funeral services in the house cham
Der Sunday in honor of the late Rep
resentative Payne of New York. 1t is
unusual to hold funeral for house
members in the hall of that body, but
an exception was made because of the
long service of Mr.. Payne. The last
service held in the house was over the
body of the late Representative Ding
ley.
The house also adopted a resolution
to name committee to escort the
body to Auburn, n. Y. The commit
tee was directed to invite the senate
to participate in the funeral service.
and also to invite the president and
his cabinet, the justices of the supreme
court the admiral of the navy, the
chief of staff of the army and men,
bers of the diplomatic corps. The
committee was given full authority to
arrange all details.
Immediately upon the adoption of
this resolution, the house approved
another resolution of regret over the
death of Representative Payne and ad-
journed for the day.

what should constitute the three
milerOad law?
An answer to this question is what
the Indiana Highway Superintendents'
association members are looking for,
according to w. o. Jones, who superin-
tends the maintenance of Wayne coun-
tvs roads.
Mr.. Jones said today that the high
way superintendent are agreed that
the three-mile-road law must go, and
that the state highway commission
members are of the same opinion.
The highway superintendents have
not been able to frame group of ideas
which are generally satisfactory, and
each of them, including Mr.. Jones, is
working out plan. 1t is probable
that a district meeting will be called
in January to discuss the law again.
The state highway commission,
which made Investigations in every
congressional district in the state re-
Gently. reported to Governor Ralston
the results of the work. The state Of
ficials were informed of the sentiment
against the three-mileroad law. Leg

state penal farm will be ready for
occupancy by the workers by the first
part of next week, George Seidel, Of
the board of trustees. said today.
The work is progressing nicely as
far as it has gone, Mr.. Seidel said. The

would be in readiness to receive coun-
ty prisoners by January l is not based
on authority. he said, and it will be
from three to six months before the
operation of the penal farm is started.
I'VE have tWenty-tour men from the
Michigan City penitentiary at work
there now" Mr.. Seidel said. They
are a fine bunch Of fellows, and we
really don't have to guard them There
are two day guards and two night
guards on the grounds. Most of the
men are carpenters, although men Of
other trades required in the cOnstruc-
ton work have also been brought to
the colony.
The men are living in tents now,
but we expect them to moe into the
first building in two or three days We
will not be ready to receive county
prisoners at least until spring. That
depends upon the progress made in
the future"

CLASS GRADES FAIL
TO FORECAST FATE
OF CHILD IN LIFE
J. T. Giles Opposes Exploita-
ton of Prodigies as Stu
dents Often Achieve Great
est Success in Life.

The question Of heredity and en-
v1ronment and of native ability, train
ing and application was discussed to-
day by Prof. j. T. Giles who believes
school records are not reliable indica-
tions of the degree Of success which
will IS attained by pupils.
Mr.. Giles said he die. not believe in
exploiting the mental prodigies which
every city has at some time. He bases
his belief on the theory that it is not
native ability entirely which brings
distinction.
I'VE can usually Judge the character
of man while he is in school, Mr.
Giles said I'VE cannot tell what his
success in life will be by his display
of mental ability. Pupils who are
brilliant now, may not be able to earn
living later in life and the pupils
who are obscure in school, may
achieve distinction later

near New York where the lawyer had
been a big man. Some people declar-
ed that the man would have achieved
equal distinction if he had settled in
New York where the competition is
greater and there are more men of
ability to cope with, while others said
he might have died in obscurity in the

Works Tests Ability.
"a few days ago, Mr. Handley took
exception to what he calls 'fads' in the
schools. 1t is a matter of understand
ing the system which we use to help
school pupils find themselves. we do
not want the boys in the manual train
ing classes to become carpenters or
the boys in the forging classes to be-
come blacksmiths. These courses
only help to ascertain whether a boy S
native ability is in brain handWork or
in abstract brain work.
Many school pupils are shot men
tally. There are great numbers who
have not the mental power to go be-
yond the third or fourth grade. Pre-
vocational work in the schools, helps
in a measure to find a pupils capacity.
1t is all mental work although manual
training is usually called hand work.
Our purpose is to find out if possible
what general kind of work each pupil
is fitted for and to guide him right.
