SHOUTS OF PRINCE
DRAW GERMANS ON
Oscar Leads Column in the
Charge at Verdun in Name
of Fatherland.

BERLIN, Via Amsterdam, Oct. g.
Details OF desperate fighting at Yer
dun, in which Prince Oscar, fifth son
of Emperor William, led a charge into
the thickest of the fray, were received
here today. The hardest fighting was
on September "a, when Prince Oscar
collapsed from heart cramp and had
to be taken to the hospital at Metz.
The Germans had planned to make
a desperate attempt against the French
lines at Verdun that day, and Prince
Oscar decided to lead his men in per
son.
The Turcos, who were supporting
the French, were hidden in trees pick
ing off the German officers and as
these Africans are excellent shots the
Germans suffered heavily. Some of
the companies had to be led by ser.
geants during the hottest part of the
fighting as a result of the slaughter
brought about by the Turcos.
When the German column moved
forward with fixed bayonets, Prince
Oscar galloped to the front to lead the
charge. Rising in his stirrups, and
trandishing his sword above his head,
he shouted:
Onward, my brave soldiers! On
ward for the Fatherland!"
The soldiers responded with a cheer
that rose above the crash of battle.

DRAIN FROM SEWER
CAUSE OF PROTEST
Mayhews Complain of Dam
age to Land on North
Twenty-Third Street.

A lively tilt resulted in the com.
missioner's court today when John M.
and Clarence Mathew appeared be.
fore the board to demand some relief
from the sewer water which flows
over the land of their father, Lorenzo
Mayhem, who lives north of the base
ball grounds on South Twenty-third
street.
After each side agreed as to the
absolute necessity for tile line 1900
feet long to carry away the water,
County Surveyor Peacock and John
Mayhem engaged in an argument as to
who made the first advances in set
Ting the question.
The commissioners will take up
with the viewers the matter of hav-
ing a $500 foot tile drain laid to carry
the water to a lower water course in
the rear of the baseball grounds. The
owners of the land are not willing to
pay for the sewer, they said.

RAIL STON WANTS CRAWFORD.
BEFORE GRAND JURY PROBE

Governor Ralston has addressed q
letter to Prosecutor Baker of the Mar
ion circuit court, directing that Earl
E. Crawford, former representative OF
Wayne and Fayette counties in the
legislature be summoned before that
body to testify what he knows regard
ing alleged misconduct of Homer l..
Cook, speaker of the house.
The governors action follows the
address Of Mr.. Crawford in this city
in which he bitterly assailed the
speaker and the governor.
In his letter to Prosecutor Baker,
asking that Crawford be subpenaed
before the grand jury, the Governor
declares that if Crawford is an honest
man, "he owes it to the public to name
the members of the last Legislature
who he believes were corrupt as legis-
lators and cite the facts on which his
belief rests" He says that he recalls
that Representative Crawford COM
planned to him that he could not gain
recognition from the speaker of the
House, but he declares that Crawford
never at any time made to him a
charge of corruption against Speaker
Cook or any other member of the
Legislature.
"One Earl Crawford" reads the
Governors letter. lis reported to have
said in a speech made last night
Thursday at Richmond that he and
other members of the last Legislature
called my attention to misconduct on
the part of Speaker Cook, and that
they protested to me against the ex-
travagant manner in which Mr.. Cook
was administering the House affairs;
against the defeat Of the only real pri-
mary bill offered; also against the
Infamous county superintendent
bill, and the Lake County bill.
Reviews Record.
ut is a fact that Mr.. Crawford made
complaints to me two or three times
during the Legislature, because things
were not going in the Legislature as
he thought they should go. l made it
plain to him that l was not proposing
to undertake to boss the Legislature
as l got the impression at the time
that Mr.. Crawford was laboring under
the conviction that as Governor l was
not only charged with the perform
ance of the executive duties of the
state, but also with it's legislative du-
ties.
II shall not undertake to say wheth-
er Mr.. Crawford did or did not men,
ton some OF the subjects to me that
he now says he did. But am conf
dent the Lake County bill-Senate bill
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1914-10-03

423-was not discussed by him with
me either before or after its defeat in
the House. II he protested against 1t
before it was indefinitely postponed,
he should have been satisfied with its
defeat, as far as the Governor and the
Legislature were concerned. If he
protested to me afterward he must
have had some knowledge of its later
history, and he should have not only
Informed me, which he did not, but the
House itself, whose action thereon had
been overruled by somebody's over
sight or corruption. 1t is passing
strange that Mr.. Crawford permitted
Senate bill 423 to be approved by the
Governor, If he knew of any irregular
ity in connection with it. l think the
public is entitled to further explana-
ton by Mr.. Crawford as to what he
means when he says he protested to
me against the Lake County bill.
Denounces Crawford.
when he seeks to create the i'm
preston, as he did in his speech that
he had furnished me information of
corrupt conduct on the part of Speak
er Cook and also of corruption relat-
ing to Senate bill 423 l denounce his
statements as absolutely false. He
never at any time laid charge of cor
ruption with me against any member
of the Legislature. He did complain
of what he termed Cooks misconduct
complaining that the speaker had
improperly failed to recognize him.
The public readily understands that
there is quite a difference between
misconduct and corrupt conduct. All
corrupt conduct is misconduct, but all
misconduct is not corrupt conduct;
and l apprehend that the public will
not demand a criminal prosecution of
Speaker Cook for improperly failing
to recognize a member of the House
even though he be as modest and re-
firing as Mr.. Crawford The truth is,
and l mean to speak kindly, this young
man is unduly impressed with his own
Importance.
"If Mr.. Crawford is an honest man,
and he will admit that he is, he owes
it to the public to name the members
of the last Legislature whom he be-
lieves were corrupt as legislators and
cite the facts on which his belief rests.
If he is an honest man he will either
do this or he will cease his attempt to
create the impression that certain of
his associate members in the Legisla-
ture of 1913 were bribe-takers and cor
ruptiOnists."

TEMPERANCE BODY
STANDS FOR BIBLE
STUDY Of CLASSES
Mrs. E. p. ROllman Expresses
View of w. C.. T. u, Advis-
ing That Education Is In
complete Without It.

"The Bible in the Public Schools, .
was the subject of an interesting
paper read before the Wayne county
w. c. T. U. convention yesterday
afternoon by Mrs. E. p. Rollman of
Richmond. The union has recently
taken up an attempt to get the teach
Ing of the Bible inaugurated in the
public schools Of Indiana. In the fol-
lowing paper, Mrs. Rollman brought
out the stand that the local unions are
urged to take.
THE Book that is under every flag,
the Holy Bible, should be in our public
schools. Under present conditions
many of our boys and girls are grow
ing up with little or no knowledge of
the Bible. That the value of the
Bible literature is not appreciated in
our public schools is a loss that can
not be estimated as no literary educa-
ton Is complete without knowledge
OF the Bible
Laws Favor Study.
Indiana with eight other states of
our union has laws favoring the use
OF the Bible. A question that touches
the Bible at any point is vital one.
Any effort to hinder it's use and in
fluence should be viewed with alarm,
yet 1t is plainly apparent that the
Bible does not occupy the place it once
held in the schools of our country,
when it was almost universally used.
Father, Mother, your child has a
three fold nature, physical, mental and
moral. These three must be developed
together il the character of your boy
is round and full. There is plenty of
provision for developing the physical;
the schools of Indiana rank high in
mental training, but moral nature has
been entirely neglected. 1t is not
natural for the child to learn good
morals any more than to study alge-
bra. Therefore it is someone's bust
ness to see that he gets this train
ing.
Pleads for Use.
THE Bible is used in every court
house in administering oaths; statutes
for observing the Christian Sabbath
are found in every state; the state
pays chaplains for our army and navy;
the supreme court of the United States
uses these words over and over, This
Is a Christian Nation" No if this is
a Christian nation, why not allow the
Christians Bible in the schools? If it
is good to read in the army and navy,
In Congress and at the penitentiary,
why not read it to our boys and girls?"
In the afternoon session of the con-
vention, the reading of the reports of
the county superintendent was COM
pleted. and the remaining business of
the convention was transacted
pleasing feature Of the program
was vocal solo by Miss Edith Dukes.
The session was closed with bene-
diction by Rev. Raymond Isley.

CROWD AT FAIR

EATON, O., Oct 3.-Attended by a
crowd numbering about $4,000. the
sixty-fourth annual fair of the Preble
County Agricultural society was
closed Friday at Eaton. The fair was
a record-breaker in many ways and
goes down in the records of the society
as the best ever held. Weather dur
ing the entire week was ideal and the
crowds in attendance both Thursday

known. The attendance Thursday is
conservatively estimated at between
1900 and $4,000.

Two hundred and sixty persons have
enrolled in the Richmond night high
school, and with one more night to en-
roll the total enrolment is expected to
reach the three hundred mark. More
women have enrolled than men, but
this is thought to be due in part to
