ADvENT|STS DECIDE
AGAINST RICHMOND

Seventh Day Adventists who expect
ed to hold their annual meetings in
Richmond August to 16, have decid-
ed on Logansport as the encampment
site.
The Adventists wanted to use the
Chautauqua grounds but as the date
was set for the ten days meeting to
close the same day Chautauqua opens,
it was impossible for the association
to give up the grounds. At least a
week is required before opening, to
set up the Chautauqua tents.
The Adventists who participate in
the camp meeting number between soc
and 1000 Will Wore of this city, was
negotiating for them for the use OF
the park grounds. However, it is prob
able the adventists will change the
date of their meeting slightly next
year in order to bring the convention
to Richmond.

SNAP SEWER DIGGER
IN MORTON TRENCH
Amateur Photographers Use
Yards of Films on Gigantic
Machine.

Probably the most photographed
piece of machinery in Richmond, is
the trench digger at Morton park The
ponderous machine eating it's way
through fifteen feet of ground at the
rate of little more than a foot an hour
has been in the park since last Friday,
taking place of dozens Of men digging
trenches for the Morton park sewer
system.
The trench digger resembles big
threshing machine. 1t is supported by
two trucks with the digger directly
behind but part Of the machine is
supported by third.
With it's belt throwing out a cease
less fall of dirt, the machine seems to
have somewhat of a fascination even
for grown people.
The Morton park sewer, at the point
where the digger Is working is laid at
a depth of fifteen to eighteen feet. The
work of making the excavation is
done with remarkable nicely by the
digger.
The trench is smooth walled and fits
almost like a jacket around the three
foot cement sections which are being
laid at the bottom. About twenty feet
behind the digger are two or three
men who are putting the sections Of
the sewer together as rapidly as the
digger moves.
The endless chain of scoops drag
ging up the gray clay soil and throw
ing each load on another endless chair
working at right angles to throw the
DIRT in a pile evenly capped and about
eight feet high has been snapped by

Cop. ORGANIZATION

George Stout Shows How
Party Deceives Hopefuls
on Reform Pledge. -.--........
By GEORGE w. STOUT.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 15.-Edgar
Iliff of Richmond, Ind, is one of the
Republicans who has decided that all
talk of redeeming the Republican or
ganization is bosh and humbug. Mr..
Iliff was one of those Republicans who
desired to be re-assured. 1t was to
fool such men as Mr.. Ililf that the Re-
publican stand-pat organization wrote
that platform joke in which the or
ganization pledged to the individual
voters and to the majority membership
Of the old party free and full ex-
preston Of the majority desire.
Luckily for Mr.. Iliff and his kind, the
chance came to obtain proof of the
this unctious pledge of a return to
common decency in party management
Here is what Mr.. Iliff, himself, says
of the results of the stand-pat organ
ization's first important test as me
are to get square deal. The Sixth
district congressional convention was
the test, and the stand-pat organiZa
ton not only refused to keep its plat
form pledge to the rank and file, but
went out of its way to double-cross the
majority; trick the voters and to seize
for one of it's members a nomination
that had been expected to go to the
choice of the party membership, Mr.
| Iliff says:
| The convention was absolutely un
der the control of James E. Watson
was the only member of the reso
lutions committee not under Watson's
| influence. One of the resolutions l of
fered, and which took stand against
machine rule in politics, was rejected
| by these Watson men. The resolutions
that were adopted had been written BY
Mr.. Watson, himself, before the reso
lutions committee went into session
This interview is taken from the In
dianapolis News. 1t proves that the
crowd represented by James E. Wat
son has not changed. 1t is still re
pudiating platforms and defying tn.
rank and file of its own party. Mr.
Iliff and his kind may protest, but unit
they join party where they count fol
decency in addition to counting fol
mere protest. they will not achieve an.
definite results.

married Life the Fortieth Year."
if the fortieth year of matrimony of
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter MillhiZer, West
First street and Richmond avenue, Is
typical, is about as calm and peaceful
as the Atlantic ocean in gale.
A domestic upheaval occurred at the
Millhizer home yesterday afternoon.
In police court this morning, Mr.. Mill
hizer, the defendant to an assault and
battery charge, referred to it as a
fuss"
Mrs. Millhizer, a large woman af-
flicted with rheumatism, called it a
flight" and showed bruise near her
left eye to support her testimony.
Millhizer was fined IS and costs.
Cites the Reasons.
He asserted there were extenuating
circumstances in his favor because he
had been provoked while innocently
playing with his two grandchildren,
the sons of Mr.. and Mrs. Cal Stephens,
that he had not struck his wife but
only showed his fist in her face, and
that he regretted exceedingly that he
had called her a bad name, because
she was really an admirable woman,
a remarkable housekeeper and unsur-
passed as domestic economist.
Perhaps the court was influenced
against him because informed that
forty years ago, the first week of his
matrimonial venture, he struck his
wife with a spoon, and because the
daughter, Mrs. Stephens, testified
that her father frequently lost his
temper and created scenes" She
said she was at her mothers home
yesterday when the row started, but
anticipating another scene" departed
with her two children.
Cause of Trouble.
Mrs. Millhizer's horror of untidiness
in her home, undoubtedly one of those
numerous homes where a misplaced
ashtray causes as much trouble as the
Mexican question, brought on the do
mostic deluge. Mr.. Millhizer, playing
bear" with his romping grandsons
twisted a lace curtain awry. Before
the indignant verbal volleys fired al
him by his wife, Millhizer said, he re
| treated to the veranda with the two
youngsters and his faithful pipe. Mrs
Stephens, who is said to be very ner
vous, followed him, took the two boy.
and went to her home across the
street.
| Peeved over the loss of his chubby
playmates, Mr.. Millhizer demanded al
explanation from his wife of hi:
daughters abrupt departure. She
bluntly told him the reason, whereup
on he became angry and, he admits
cussed her. She shook her fist under
his nose, then she got her eye bruised

OUTLINES HIS RISE
!. FROM BRAKEMAN
TO SUPERINTENDENT
J. F. Miller Celebrating Ami
versary Thursday, Recalls
Early Days on Railroad
Lines of Middle West.

A story Of the gradual rise from a
brakeman on a freight train to general
superintendent of the largest railroad
system in the United States is one
tnat can be told as an actual expert
ence by John F. Miller, 22o North
Tenth street, who celebrates his
eighty-fourth birthday anniversary to-
morrow
Mr.. Miller began his career as a rail-
roader when railroads were just being
built and when there were only few
miles of rails in the entire country
He knows more, perhaps, of the actual
growth and expansion of the railroad
system In the United States than any
other man in the country. Although he
has been retired from active service
since 1900, he has kept in close touch
with railroad affairs and can talk In
terestingly of experiences which have
meant much to the railroad develop
ment of the country.
In 1850, Mr.. Miller, a carpenter by
trade, applied for job on the Cleve
land and Columbus railroad, then the
first railroad built west of the Appala
chan mountains. This was the begin
ming of his railroad career which led
eventually to his election to the high
est position in railroad circles of the
west.
Cars Like Boxes.
"This road was crude affair."" Mr.
Miller remarked this morning. "The
rails were the old style strap rails
and the cars run over them more near
ly resembled dry goods boxes than the
present day coaches. Like everything
else, the railroads had to have a be
ginning and this was practically the
beginning"
During the first few years Of Mr.
Miller's life as a railroader, his ambi
ton continually urged him to de
more and more and within year he
secured the position as freight conduc
tor. In 1854 he became a passenger
conductor on the same railroad. II
these early times, the telegraph was

Chooses Former Secretary of
State to Act as Permanent
Secretary.

Auditor Bowman, who is vice presi-
dent of the Indiana State Tax Asso-

yesterday at Indianapolis. The Off.

structed to prepare to open an office
in Indianapolis at once.

al and legislative work will be taken
up as soon as cool weather arrives.
Mr. Bowman is also a member o1
the committee on taxation of the
Commercial club here. The CONNER
cial club committee has held no meet
ings for six weeks because of the ex
cessive heat and the fact that severa
members of the committee have beer

When the vacation season closes the
committee will take up it's education

FAMILY OF HUERTA
LEAVES CAPITAL ON
GUARDED SPECIALS
Dictator Spends Night With
Army Officers After De-
parture of Wife and 1900
Picked Troops.

VERA CRUZ, July 15.-Every court
esy will be shown by the United States
military authorities to the families of
President Huerta and War Minister
Banquet and every possible measure
of protection will be offorded.
Although dispatches from Mexico
said that the refugees were coming to
this city, General Funston was of the
opinion that they might have their
train switched to Cordoba and go to
Peuerto Mexico instead.
A number of prominent Mexicans
who fled from the capital have gone
to Puerto Mexico in stead of to Vera
Cruz and taken passage from Havana
for Europe or the United States.
But even. if the members of the
Huerta and Banquet familiesTdo 80 to
Puerto Mexico and go on board a
ship there, they will eventually touch
this port as the steamers from that
city all put in here.
Family Leaves Capital.
The departure of Sonora Huerta and
her children was taken as a sure sign
that President Huerta would follow
as his wife has said from time to time
that she would never desert her hus
band. 1t is now reported here as alb
solutely certain that the next forty
eight hours will see the end of Huer
tas regime in Mexico.
The fact that Huerta and Blanque1
sent 1900 soldiers, many of them mem
bers of the crack Twenty-ninth regi
ment, to guard the train carrying the
Huerta family, was regarded as sig
nificant. Huerta has been holding The
TVenty-ninth regiment in reserve fol
the defense of the capital, and it i!
believed that he would not weaken the
capital garrison if he intended to re
main and fight.
The members Of the refugee part!
were Sonora Huerta and children, Col
| onel Luis Fuentes, son-in-law of the
dictator; Sonora Fuentes, the famil!
of War Minister Banquet; the famil!
of General Liberio Fuentes, member!
of the Aguilla family, of which Senors
Huerta is member, and Eugenio Pa
redes.
Following the departure of the spe
cial, which was preceded and followed
by troop trains, Huerta returned tt
his residence in a limousine, accom-
panied by two officers. The Officers
spent the night with Huerta ito keel
| him company"
If the train was directed to this poin
| it is believed that it would arriv'
about noon, but the American militar,
| authorities were at loss to under
stand what disposition would be mad
of the 1900 troops.

.CENSURE OF BRYAN
.AR0UStS C,R. BECK
Postmaster Disapproves Pub
licity Given Use of Frank
Due to Carelessness.

Postmaster Beck expressed extreme
disapproval that publicity was given
the fact that Secretary of State Bryan
communicated with Charles w. Jordan,
secretary of the Commercial Club,
with a government franked envelope
on purely personal business.
Mr.. Beck gave assurance that Bryan
was not trying to save two cents by
falling to place a stamp on his per-
sonal Chautauqua letter to the Rich
mond organization. That the silver
tongued champion of Democracy and
international peace should be criticised
was the cause of the postmaster's
feelings.
THAT was the littlest, peanutiest
trick of making public that little er-
ror or oversight that have seen,' was
the way Mr.. Beck expressed his indig-
nation. >,
Mr.. Beck stated that he has received
letters from Finly Gray on official
business bearing both the stamp and
the frank. He believes that the states
mems mistakes are probably due to
carelessness on the part of clerks who
inadvertently throw franked or stamp
ed envelopes in the wrong pigeon
holes.

Mayor Opposes Plan.
Mayor Robbins informed them that
he was absolutely opposed to compul

church workers did not take a vigor
GUS stand in favor Of this method OF
reformation Instead they agreed that
the mayors plan of cooperation with
the central city charitable organiza

gued for more general application
of the probation plan for first offend

Mayor Robbins said he favored pro
baton for first offenders so far as II
was practical A general rule of re
leasing such class of offenders brought
before him could not be established
because each individual would have tc
be studied to determine whether his
release on probation would be the
wisest course.
