BROTHERS Re TURN
WITH MRS. NEELYS
BODY FOR BURIAL
Mrs. Brown Refuses to Dis
cuss Further Details of
Murder and Suicide i'm st.
Louis Hotel.

The body of Mrs. Estella Nicely will
reach Richmond from ST. Louis be-
fore 8 o'clock tonight, accompanied
by her brothers, Wilmer and Guy
Brown. The burial will take place
either in Richmond or Frankfort, Ind,
the former home of Mrs. Nicely.
Friends of Nicely here believe the
man who is said to have deliberated
the murder and suicide when he took
his wife away from Richmond Tues
day morning, had no such thought in
his mind and that he was temporarily
demented from drink and jealousy
when he fired nine shots into Mrs.
Neely's body, and then killed himself.
Mrs. Wilmer Brown refused to make
any statement relative to the case
today, and she declared she is angry
because the facts of the relations of
Mrs. Nicely and William Tippets of
Cushings, Okla, were published
throughout the country yesterday. Up
to the middle of the summer Mrs.
Nicely associated with some of the
wellknown society club women of
Richmond.
Leaves p. o. Directions.
Nicely is described as uniformly
good natured man. When he came to
Richmond after his wife Friday, he is
alleged to have visited several sa-
looms where he paid for drinks to ev-
cry person in the houses. He was
drinking constantly until the depart
ure Tuesday morning on fast st.
Louis train, it is alleged.
Mrs. Nicely is said to have left di-
rections as to the sending of mail
which might come after she left Rich
mond with her husband. 1t is said
she gave up the postoffice box, where
she received Bills" letters, and left
an address which was not Cushing,
Okla. Postoffice authorities could not
give information on the matter be-
cause of the strict postal rules.
If the two brothers of Mrs. Nicely
decide to bury Mrs. Nicely in Rich
! mond, the funeral will take place to-
morrow afternoon from the home of
Wilmer Brown.
Mr.. Neely's body was shipped from
St. Louis to Rock Hill, South Caro-.
lima, where he has relatives.

INSURANCE AGENTS
TALK COMPENSATION

A meeting of the Wayne county
branch of the Insurance Federation of
Indiana was held yesterday afternoon
and as a result the membership Of
Richmond insurance agents body in
creased from five to nineteen.
Atwood Jenkins, representative in
this county, acted as chairman of the
meeting and William E. Barton and
George Hawkins of Indianapolis, were
present as speakers.
1t is said that Ohio political agents
are operating in Indiana and have
been to one of Richmond factories in
an endeavor to gain sympathy with
the Ohio Workmens compensation act
and to later introduce similar legisla-
tion in Indiana.
The insurance men claim the Ohio
ployers as it does not give them op-
portunity to protect themselves
against big judgments, but fixes a
minimum which must be paid for ev-
evy accident The law shuts out in.
surance companies which would pro-
tect companies against law suits, the
Insurance men say, although recently
the governor and the insurance com
mission of the state compromised and
gave the insurance companies some
play.
A meeting of the Richmond branch
of the state federation will meet here
Friday and again take up the question
of workmen's compensation as fixed
by state legislation. The association
favors a workmens compensation act
which will not curtail the operations
of the insurance companies.

TOWNSHIP SCHOOLS
GET LIBRARY BOOKS
Institution Lends Reading
Material to Students by Es-
tablishing Branches.

Officials of the Morrisson-Reeves
library are enthusiastic over the sue
cess of plan recently put in opera
ton which provides for a number of
branch libraries in the township
schools of Wayne township.
Sets of books are sent out to the
schools in care of the teacher who
acts as librarian. The children Dor
row the books on the same plan that
is followed in the library.
Mrs. Ada L. Bernhard, librarian,
said today: 1--WE are trying to inter.
est the people all over the township
in the opportunities the library offers
them to secure good reading material
We have found it slow work, but now
that the children in the schools have
taken it up we find a rapidly increas.
ing interest. When a pupil borrOws a
book from the school branch, the par
ent is required to sign the card, and
this way they learn what is being
DONE"
Mrs. Bernhard is now working on
plan with Professor Ramsey to es
tablish branch library at the White
waer school, and expects to have
branches in all the ward schools Of
the city before spring.

SUBMARINE

Before Large Crowd.
BY HERBERT TEMPLE
European Manager Of The Interna

LONDON, Nov. 12-In the long and
honorable naval history of Great Brit
ain there has been no such daring raid
against her coasts as that which re-
suited in the sinking of the torpedo
gunboat Niger in the Downs Off Deal
of the disaster, the Niger was moored
sons on shore saw the explosion which
sent her to the bottom.
The sinking of the Niger by an I'M
seen enemy which crept through the
Gordon of British warships guarding
the North sea, the Straits of Dover
and the English harbors, has aroused
more apprehension than has existed
since the German admiralty first be-
gan launching submarine attacks.
Deal lies right near the mouth of
the Thames and 1t is regarded as pos
sible that some German submarine
captain, more daring than his fellows,
may yet try to penetrate the harbor
of London.
At first the report was that all the
members of the crew of the Niger had
escaped, but later it was said that
two were missing. Three or four of
the survivors were wounded, but
none esriOusly.
This was the first time that Ger
man submarine had penetrated the
Downs where nearly 100 ships were
at anchor at the time of the sinking OF
the Niger. The Nigar carried eighty.

Predicts.
TBY LEASED WIRE.1

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 1.-THE selling
Of the Chicago Cubs to Charles WEIGH
man, president of the Chicago Fed
eral league club, does not break up
the Federal league nor does it end the
baseball war. said President Barrows
OF the International league today.
1.-The negotiations now under way in
Chicago does not account for the
Brooklyn Federals nor the Federals in
other places. 1t simply takes away
one of the big hackers of the Federals
and leaves that league in position to
invade another town if it can find the
hackers to put up the money.
weeks of negotiation will have to
be gone through with before any final
peace is arranged. The sale of the
Cubs to Weeghman will undoubtedly
be announced in Chicago today or to-
morrow
The board of arbitration has not
handed down it's decision in the Nor
thern league case, and probably will
not today. The board will remain in
session until all cases are completed
regardless of the duration of this con-
vention.

Federated Clubs of the city vote to ac-
cept the proposal of Hubert w. Wells,
field secretary of the American In
stitute of Child Life, which has it's
headquarters in Philadelphia.
Mr.. Wells addressed the members
of the various clubs at a called meet
ing yesterday afternoon, in the inter
ests IF the institute which is Endorsed
by such men as David Starr Jordon,
Ben Lindsay and William R. Bryan.
He proposed to the clubs that they
guarantee a fund of 5000 to secure the
services of Mrs Helen d. Paulson for
series of ten lectures of child play
ing He suggested that teachers in
the schools and mothers of school
children be urged to take this five
weeks course of lectures, which would
constitute community play pro
gram.
Advises Play Festival.
At the end of the course it was
suggested that a play festival be Civ
en-, in which the mothers and teach
ers would act as leaders. The speak
err offered figures to show that the
receipts from teachers tuition fees
and from admissions collected at the
play festival would more than meet
the guarantee of $500 which the clubs
would be requested to make.
Miss Edna Johnson, president of the
federated clubs of the city, asked the
individual societies to take the matter
up for discussion. and report if pos
sible to the next board meeting of the
federated clubs which will be held on
next Wednesday.

HENRY COUNTY
WOULD DISCARD
VOTING DEVICES
George Morris, Progressive
Chairman, Says Citizens
Will Petition Discontinue
ance of Machines Use.

According to George Morris, Progress
sive chairman of Henry county, who
was in Richmond Wednesday. voting
machines are to be petitioned out of
Henry county.
Stoneycreek township, in which the
voting machines gave so much trouble
in the sheriff and coroner races in the
election two years ago, used the Aus
tralian ballot system at the last cleo
ton. Over seventy-five per cent of the
voters of that township petitioned the
county commissioners previous to the
last election to discard the machines
there and their petition was granted.
Citizens of the entire county are now
preparing to circulate petitions urging
the commissioners to discard the ma
chimes for the county now and the
commissioners are understood to be in
favor of so doing.
Cost Many Votes.
Morris said the machines cost the
according to what voters have told
him. Men who wanted to vote for the
Republican candidates for congress
and senate, as being the shortest way
back to more prosperous times, and
then vote the rest of the Progressive
county ticket to show where their real
beliefs lay, were forced to vote the
straight Republican ticket. The ma
chimes are so complicated they were
afraid they would lose their vote If
they attempted to scratch.
Other voters who wanted to vote for
Beveridge and Russell and the Repub-
lican or Democratic county tickets
were forced to vote straight Republi-
can or Democratic tickets from the
same fear Of losing their votes II they
scratched on the complicated ma
chimes. IT is this complicated feature,
Morris said. that has made the ma
chine so unpopular in Henry county.
Will Continue Fight.
The Progressives, Morris said, are
more determined than ever to con-
tinue the fight for popular govern
ment and to overthrow the bosses. In
Henry county they cast 1918 votes in
the last election as against 1860 two
years ago. Morris explained that the
greater part of the small Progressive
loss in Henry county was due to the
shutting down OF the Maxwell-Briscoe
automobile factory following the cleo
ton two years ago. Over three hun
dred of the men formerly working at
that plant were Progressives and aft
err it shut down they were forced to
seek work in other cities.
After the receivership Of the COM
pany was settled and the plant opened
again as repair parts factory, the
workmcu who were brought here from
other cities we're mostly Democrats
Morris mentioned this as significant
and as bearing out the Progressives
claims that many Democrats voted the
Republican ticket in Henry county in
this election. Despite the increase
the Democratic vote should have had
as result of these new workingmen
who are Democrats, the Democratic
vote in this election made no gain
over that of two years ago.
