The fourth new liquor license issued
in 1914, was granted today by the
county commissioners to William P.
Idleman, who. will open his saloon at
431 Main street. Richmond now has
fifty-seven saloons and the proof given
by Idelman today showing that he is
entitled to license, also showed that
sixty saloons can operate in the city
legally, based on the ratio of 5000
votes cast within the city limits at the
last general election.
In order to prove the legality of is
suing another license, Idelman brought
sworn statement from the election
inspector in Spring Grove, which is
part of the Seventeenth Richmond pre-
cinct, showing that only eighteen votes
were cast outside of the city limits in
that precinct. The inspector from the
Twentyfifth precinct was also called
in and swore as to the number of votes
cast outside the corporation line in
that precinct.
The population of Richmond based
on the figures of the commissioners is
now 3O,10O, instead Of less than $4,000,
according to the United States census
Of 1910.
J. l.. Brown was granted a license

REQUIRE STUDENTS
TO TAKE TEACHING
Rules of North Central Con-
ference Call for Practical
Training.

Through a recent ruling Of the
North Central Conference of Colleges
and Universities that all high school
teachers starting work on or after
January 1. 1915. must have at least
IL hours Of educational work, the
teaching courses at Earlham will have
to be rearranged and it is possible
that additional instructors will be
placed On the faculty.
This ruling, however, will not affect
the 1914 graduates who desire to take
up the profession of teaching. Hith-
erto the graduates have taken a mini
mum amount of educational work foLJ
the school has not specialized to any
great extent in the teaching of that
branch.
There is a course, however. headed
by Professor William N. Trueblood.
called Methods in School Instruc-
tion," which gives the students an in
sight in teaching by assigning them to
visit classes at the graded and high
schools Of Richmond. This course is
the nearest approach to practical
school teaching.
Since the rapid strides have been
made in the line of education the high
school boards and state boards of ed
ucation Of the states in the Middle
west have been requiring the new ap-
plicants for teaching positions to do
more practical work before entering
the profession. This has eliminated
in the recent ruling.

PROPOSE TO GROW
FLOWERS IN PARK

A group Of shooting STAR wild flow
ers, including roots, were presented to
Park Superintendent Ford by F. H. Ed
munds today. Mr.. Edmunds is an en-
thusiastic botanist and has long cher
ished the idea of being able to see at
least one specimen of every Wayne
county wild flower growing in Glen
Miller park. Superintendent Ford
takes kindly to the idea and is CO.
operating by lending his tools and car
ing for the specimens after planting.
Mr.. Edmund's plan has been endors-
ed by the Women's Federation of
Clubs, and others interested in wild
flowers. The federation has COM
mittee to assist in the undertaking.

RUSH HOSPITAL TRAINS
To MEET J.. s. REFUGEES

their home by armed Federals and
thrown into dingy Mexican prisons;
had been forced to stand helpless,
while mobs. made with rum, looted
their homes, taking all that was valu-
able, even to their food and water.
In TERRA Blanca and Cordoba the
men were held in prison for five days,
and when finally released after pres
sure had been brought to bear by the
English consulate, were herded on flat
cars and coal cars and sent toward the
coast.
AS the train passed them slowly, the
word was given out to the refugees:
wait here; we are coming book"
Have Thrilling Escape.
Tired and footsore, the weary refu-
gees dropped to the roadside, many of
them in a state of exhaustion, but
with the light of hop in their eyes.
Hospital attaches dropped off the train
and gave first aid to the suffering.
Sailors with food and water gave nour-
ishment to the hungry. About half
way out to the break in the railroad
tracks the last of the refugees was
encountered. H. Riley, a conductor
employed by the Mexican railroad,
said he had been the last to get away
from Cordoba.
Lieutenant Fletcher ordered the
train to return and began picking up
the refugees. Some of them were so
weak that they had to be lifted on
board With sigh of relief they sank
into the seats of the train and told of
their narrowing experiences
One of the most thrilling stories was
related by Mrs. Sidney M. Emery, of
Vista Mosa. The house was robbed
by mob, her husband carried away,
she thought to be shot. She had re-
NAMED in the house until nightfall,
then mounted the only horse left by
the looters.
"All they left me to wear was
riding skirt, and there / was with my
little three-year-old boy, and nothing
to wrap him in but a Sheet said Mrs.
Emery. 81 had to ride six hours on
horseback"

USE OF MONEY FOR

IBY LEASED WIRE1

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Asserting
that the tolls repeal propaganda is
supported by unlimited money which
s'has been and is being expended with
b lavish hand" Senator Townsend of
Michigan, in opening the Panama ca
mel tolls battle in the senate today up
held the doctrine that the repeal
would involve compromise of Ameri-
can national sovereignty. He de-
clared he could not consent to a sur
render of the rights1of the United
States in Panama which would leave
this nation naked and helpless in the
struggle of nations"
1.-THE country will not be deceived
by the false issue raised in this con-
troversy," said Senator Townsend
''He who utters the cry of special ben
eft to American ship owners, who dur
ing all our past have been encouraged
to build and operate American ships,
and he who asserts that the advocates
of our national doctrine are working
in the interests of ship trust, will in
wife the inevitable criticism upon him
self of being interested in a propa-
ganda to destroy competition of rail
roads and to yield right of sovereign
ty which ought not to be surrendered
THE known beneficiaries of the
money expended by the advocates of
this propaganda have been very active
in their efforts to secure action favor
able to Great Britain. They have been
much in evidence here in the capital
But this case will not be decided by
the American people upon any collat-
eral issue. They see the great prin-
ciple involved. Greater than the
question of subsidies, greater than all
grow out of the canal; greater than
of the material benefit which can
the good opinion of all the world, be-
cause it includes them all, and upon

tied right and power of the United

sent to yield that right and power at
the command or solicitation of any
country or of all the countries of the

VERA CRUZ, May / (by Interna-

Train going out" is a soul-stirring
cry at Vera Cruz. 1t is the signal for
hurried, but orderly activity at the
terminal, the Union Railway station.
Orderlies are dispatched for the Of

generally about thirty men with ma
chine guns, are hurried on board the
train, water and food for the refugees
are placed on board, navy doctor
with a hospital detachment embarks
and a frantic rush is made by war
correspondents and photographers for
official sanction to accompany the
train.
On Tuesday, April %, word came
from across the break in the railroad,
where the Federals had torn out five
Fights Of a mile of track, five miles
out OF this city, that 1O3 refugees had
arrived at the other end of the break
and were walking in. The train was
made ready and within fifteen minutes
was under way with Lieutenant F. J.
Fletcher of the Florida, and Ensign
George E. Lowry in charge of guard
of twenty-five sailors, each heavily
armed.
Meet Refugees.
Beyond the outposts from Vera Cruz,
the first of the refugees were encount-
cred. They were walking along the
sled of the track. Most of them were
scantily clad. Some had baggage
which they carried themselves, or was
packed on the backs of poems.
Women with little children holding
to either hand, trugged YEARLY along,
barefooted, most of them, their feet
bleeding from the sharp stones of the
roads ballast. Most of their faces
were drawn from hunger.
All were hysterical from their ex-
periences of the past week. Women,
who had been living lives of ease,
