closed its doors. and the day following
Germany declared war Rumors of
war had begun to dig deep into the
pockets of Uncle Sam when it became
necessary to ship load after load of
gold abroad, as foreign countries called
upon us to exchange our metal for
American securities owned abroad. Up
to the time when England declared
war on Germany many millions of the
precious metal had left our Golfers, but
at that moment heavy shipments from
this country almost ceased and Great
Britain established branch OF the
Bank of England in Canada to take
care of the exchange.
Wilson Declares Neutrality.
President Wilson's declarations OF
neutrality soon followed. while an Of

peace among the warning nations was

BECK MAY RETIRE
Ar TER so YEARS

The fiftieth anniversary OF his ordi-
nation into the passionate Of the Luth-
eran church will be celebrated by Rev.
Joseph Beck. pastor Of the Trinity
Lutheran church, on August 20. The
celebration will be in the form OF q
general church affair and will prOba-
bly, be arranged by the officials OF the
church.
1t is reported that Rev. Mr.. Beck
will at that time hand In his resigna-
ton to the congregation and retire
from active work in the ministry. At
the meeting which will be held Aug
ust %. a report, which is being pre-
pared by Rev. Beck, covering his work
during the past fifty years, will be
read.
The meeting of the district synod OF
the church will be held late in Octo-
Der. Definite action on Rev. Mr..
Beck's resignation will not be taken
until that time. The meeting will be
held in this city. A meeting of the
congregation will be held next Friday
evening at which time the annual re-
port of the pastor and the church
board will be read.

COUNCIL To PASS
BOTTL|NG MEASURE

At council meeting this evening the
ordinance amending the milk ordin-

and probably will pass, although dairy

with the bottling feature, some threat
ening to retire from the business in
this is forced on them.
The contract to permit the Pennsyl-
vania railroad to place a switch across
Neff street, which is to be paved this
fall, will be submitted to council fer
it's approval. 1t is also probable that
the ordinance requiring light in alleys
will also be reported.
1t is hardly probable that the spe-

project for West Richmond will sub.

Vick's pocket.
When Wick awoke he found his roll
missing and at once notified the po-

mitted having 81 on his person. He
said at first he had found this money.
Once he said he found it on the floor,

SCRAP OVER CARDS
CAUSES DEATH OF
ONE LIBERTY man
John RAIDER, Father, Fatally
Wounded at Same Time
Anderson Thomas Faces
Charge of Shooting.

LIBERTY, Ind. Aug. 3.-Louis Ra-
der, 20, is dead and his father John
RAIDER. IS. dangerously wounded fol-
lowing Saturday night carousal here.
Anderson Thomas, of Cincinnati, is
in jail charged With the shooting. The
tragedy occurred near a shack in the
Silver Creek bottoms, half a mile west
OF this city. occupied by Solomon Grit
fin, step-father of the alleged murder
er.
About $3.50 o'clock Sunday morning
Sheriff Line was notified by telephone
OF the shooting, and summoned Coun-
ty Coroner H. M. Egalf, the two drove
to the scene in the sheriff's auto. They
found the two wounded men and
brought them to their home in this
place. where the younger man died at
1870 o'clock in the afternoon. A
charge of No. shot had entered his
back on the right side of the spine.
The older man had received a charge
in the left shoulder, breast and face,
one shot destroying the left eye.
The Raiders, with Anderson Thomas,
his half-brother, Mat Griffin, and sew
eral other men, had been drinking
beer and playing cards at the home of
Abe DAVIS, who lives in the same To-
cality, according to stories told the
sheriff. DAVIS broke up the party about
1890, after which he said the Raiders,
Thomas and Mat Griffin took torch
and the cards and retired to the grove
where the shooting occurred.
Thomas Gives Version.
Thomas says that Mat Griffin and
Louis RAIDER quarreled over the card
game and came to blows, when the
elder RAIDER and his son both attacked
Griffin with knives. After warning
them to desist, Thomas said he went
into Solomon Griffin's house, obtained
a shot gun and shot both men. He
made no effort to escape claiming he
had right to defend his halfbrother's
life, surrendering himself to the sher.
if. The gun, now in possession of the
sheriff, is a single barrel and both
men could not possibly have been vic.
tins of one shot, While Griffin's coat
and shirt show number of cuts, their
position and the fact that the coat lin.
ing was not cut through, neither was
there a scratch on his body, 60 to dis
credit the story Of the attack by the
Raiders, Sheriff Line believes.
John and Lewis RAIDER came here
from Kentucky some six months ago
and seemed to be hard working and
Industrious. Both were married but
the younger man was not living with
his wife. Solomon Griffin is also a ma
tive OF Kentucky, and has lived here
less than a year. Anderson Thomas
claims to be a street car conductor
in Cincinnati. coming here Thursday
to visit his step father, Solomon Grit

WILSON ASKS CALM
AND QUIET IN FACE
! Of EUROPEAN CRISIS
President Sees No Need for
Excitement Here When
Self Possession Will Avert
Suffering.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-President
Wilson spoke as follows concerning
the war situation at his conference
with newspaper men:
Gentlemen. before you question me
want to say this: believe that it is
really unnecessary, but always want
to tell you what Is in my mind.
ut is manifestly necessary in the
present state of affairs on the other
side that you should be extremely
careful not to add to the excitement
in any way. Europe is in a highly ex-
cited state of mind. but the excite
ment ought not to spread to this
country.
$50 far as we are concerned there Ii
no cause for excitement. There il
great inconvenience for the time be-
ing In the money market and in our
exchanges, and temporarily in hand
ling our crops, but America is abso-
lutely prepared to meet the financial
situation and to straighten out every.
thing without material difficulties. Tho
only thing that can possibly prevent
1t is unreasonable apprehension and
excitement.
Need Calm In United States.
IF might make a suggestion to
you, gentlemen, l would urge you not
to give currency to any unver1fied
rumors or to anything that would tend
to create or add to the excitement. I
think you will all agree that We must
all at the present moment act togeth-
er as Americans in seeing that Ameri-
ca does not suffer any unnecessary
distress from what is going on in the
world at large.
The situation in Europe is perhaps
the greatest in its possibilities that
has arisen in modern times, but it
need not affect the United States un-
favorably in the long run. Not that
the United States has anything to
take advantage of, but her own posi-
ton is sound and she owes 1t to man
kind to remain in such a condition.
such a state of mind that she can help
the rest of mankind.
Il want to have the pride Of stating
that America, II nobody else. has her
self-possession and stands ready with
calmness Of thought and steadines Of
purpose to help the rest of the world.
And We can do it and reap q great
permanent glory out Of doing 1t, pro-
viding we all cooperate to see that
nobody loses his head"
