POLICE cARE FOR CHILDREN


Five little children, their ages
ranging from IA to 6 years, slept at
the Harrison street annex last night.
Their names are Adelaide, IA; Clara,
II; Marie, 10; Corrine, Z; and Albert
Dyon, years, who is the youngest.
They formerly lived in a little house
at 1856 W. 18th street. A month ago
they were deserted by their mother
and two weeks later their father dis
appeared. The little folks managed
to get along until yesterday when
some person who had bought the fur
niture drove up to the house and load
ed everything movable into moving
van but the children.
Neighbors brought them to the po-
lice station and the police after vainly
trying for several hours to place them
in a public home took them to the
Annex. There they ate prison fare
and acted as though they enjoyed it.
Today the juvenile courts will be ap-
pealed to to take care of the waits.

MRS. ELLA MURRAY
Wins So PRIZE FOR
BEST CAKE RECIPE

Mrs. Eta Murray, r.. n. No. Twas
awarded IS today for submitting the
best recipe in the Palladium 8 devils
food cake contest.
Awards were made by the judges,
Mrs. A. d. Cobb, Mrs. Benton Adding
ton and Mrs. Harry Mather, without
trying the recipes.
In considering the recipes the fol.
lowing points were taken into consid-
Grafton: Manner of mixing, using un-
beaten eggs, uniting the dry soda, soft
ness of butter. baking in a slow oven.
The recipe submitted by Mrs. Muir
ray complied with these points in the
opinion of the judges better than any
other. Speaking for the judges today,
Mrs. Cobb said the recipes were ex-
ceptional, however, since there was
not one that did not have some point
of excellence.
Mrs. Cobb commented especially on
the use of dry soda. She said it had
long been a belief that soda to be
mixed properly should be dissolved.
This is not good practice, since soda
when placed in water spends it's effer-
vescence, which is the primary pur-
pose for putting it in the cake batter
She said best modern practices had

Commission RAPS
HAVEN DIRECTORS
Sixty to Ninety Millions
Wasted by Mismanage-
ment of Road.

Washington, July 13.-That the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad system during the period Of
Charles S. Mellen's presidency was a
corrupt monopoly, that two directors
were criminally negligent in the dis
charge of their duties, that the SUBJ
sidary corporation of the system
should be condemned for the part
they played in the system, that the
remedy for the evil lies in the public
conscience and the better laws, was
the report made by the Interstate
Commerce Commission to the Senate
today on its investigation into the
affairs of the railroad.
The commission declares that the
loss of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad are reasons of
waste and mismanagement will
amount to between sixty and ninety
million dollars.
The splendid property of the rail-
road itself will be called upon for
many a year to make up the drain ON
it's resources resulting from the un-
pardonable folly of the transactions
outside the proper field in which the
stockholders supposed their money
was invested, continued the report.
Directors should be made individual
1y liable to civil and criminal laws for
the manner in which they discharge
their trust -

REV, DAVIS DISCUSSES
CR|M|NAL|TY CAUSES
Presbyterian Pastor Explains
Attitude of Young People
of Church.

Because of the interest which young
people of the Second Presbyterian
church have taken in persons SEN
fenced to the county Jail in the city
court, the Rev. E. E. Davis, pastor,
discussed "The Problem of Criminal
ity" in his Sunday evening sermon.
People are growing away from the
old idea of punishment, he said, and
are studying the causes of criminality
with the idea of removing causes
which make criminals. Among these
causes are improper training, bad en-
vironment, associates and drinA Soci-
ETY. is going about remedying these
conditions, he said, by removing the
causes, rather than according to the
punishment theory, which was based
on the idea of reforming the prisoner,
preventing him from committing fur
ther misdeeds and regulating crime.
Cities legalizing institutions which
make criminals are moving in a cir
Gle, declared the Rev. Mr.. Davis. They
legalize the institution. When the
criminal his been made he is ar
rested and thrown into Jail at the ex-
pense of the county.
Referring to the recent action of the
Young Peoples society, the Rev. Mr..
Davis said they would not insit that
Davis said they would not insist that
but wished to manifest sympathetic
interest, especially for first offenders,
and to express their willingness to
cooperate with the city officials.

TEN PERSONS UNITE
WITH GRACE CHURCH
u. S. A. Bridge, Pastor, An
nounces Fifty Accessions
During PastOrate.

All the services at the Grace Meth
odist Episcopal church were we'll at
tended Sunday, and especially SO in
view of the excessive heat. Ten per-
sons united with the church, complet-
ing a list of fifty accessions in three
months.
The Rev. w. B. Freeland, district
superintendent preached at the even
ing service on the text, And /, if be
lifted up will draw all men unto me" "
Jesus made frequent use of the per-
sona1 pronoun l in speaking of him
self or his work. 1t was perfectly
proper for him to do that, for he was
the Gospel" he said.
There is considerable difference
between dragging and drawing. Jesus
will not tear anyone away from his
sins, but he will draw him as a
magnet draws steel filings.
THAT which gives Christ his great
drawing power is his death. Frequent
ly men are thrust down in defeat only
to rise to the greatest success. He
died, but he rose with power to draw
men to himself 1t is not as an
example or model that he helps men.
He does that when their lives are
fashioned by him.
Next Sunday evening the pastor will
speak on the theme, "The Man Who
Drove Furiously, or The Evil and the
Good Of Speeding"

would prove highly interesting to the
ambitious young American anxious to
make the most of his life.
Although deprived in old age of the
companionship of the one whose SYM
pathies went out to him in his early
struggles and successes, his mind still
remains active, cheerful and hopeful,

to the story of his life as practical

Mr.. Miller is an optimist in all that
the word implies, and has the great
est contempt for the man who goes
through life whining and complaining
of the lack of opportunities afforded
him. He does not believe in waiting
for something to turn up but that the
individual by his character and ability
should create his own opportunity.
Some Of His Maxims.
Some of the virtues chara cteristic Of
Mr.. Miller's life and for which he has
always contended are: Honesty, sobri-
ETY., truthfulness, faithfulness, loyalty
and self-control. He always urged upon
his subordinates the necessity of living
up to their promises; in other words,
never make promise and not live up
to it even though it afterward re-
bounds to ones disadvantage.
After ALL the afore-named virtues
are a poor mans asset. If he forfeits
any one of them he sacrifices his
character.
Mr.. Miller's ability to Judge mems
character correctly was remarkable.
He rarely failed in this respect. The
writer has known of cases where men
have entered his office in search of
employment, and would be loaded

The little girl had gone down for
the third time yesterday afternoon off
a six-foot step-off when Charles Baer,
who lives ON the New Paris pike.
waded to his neck and seized her
hand, the only part of her body show
ing above the water.
The little girl with her companions
sought relief from the heat by wading
in the shallow, shady part of the
river directly west of Morton lake.
Here the sluceway from the body OF
water above had washed deep holes.
When they were close to the dam Har-
riet called to her companions to hurry.
"Come on" she called, waving her
hand, and started to run in the shall
low water toward the big wading pool.
Suddenly she sank from view. No
grown persons were close to her and
those who saw her disappear thought
she had stumbled and fallen into the
shallow water When she did not ap-
pear, they ran to the place. reaching
there to see her disappear the second
time.
Baer jumped into the water. but the
body had drifted few feet in the
undercurrent. He was searching for
her when she appeared again. He went
as rapidly as he could. but the girl
sank again before he reached her. He
was preparing to make hasty dive
when he saw the hand of the upraised
arm.
He rescued her with little difficulty
after he had seized her hand. She
was unconscious and her face and lips
were blue With no telephone near.
Baer resorted to his knowledge Of re-
suscitation.

MAY SUE COUNTY
ON MILTON FILL
Klemm Declares Change in
Roads Means $4,000 Dam
age to Mill.

Threats of a $4,000 damage suit
against the county have been made by
residents of Milton in the event the
county makes a fill and changes the
course of a road approaching the Mil
ton bridge.
The threat was made by Mr.. Klemm,
owner of mill north of the bridge on
the west bank Of the river. Klemm' s
mill is situated so the lower part fills
at high water. He claims the making
of the proposed fill will result in the
water being thrown from the east side
of the river across to his place.
The big Milton bridge is practically
being wasted under present con-
ditions. Bridge Engineer Jack Mueller
of New Castle stated Saturday when
the county commissioners were dis
cussing the situation that in the
course of few years, three or four,
the river will have changed it's course
from under the high bridge for new
channel which would be formed about
400 feet east of the bridge.
To Eliminate Curve.
The commissioners proposed to
eliminate a curve in the approach to
the bridge. The land for the new
road, piece about 500 feet long, was
OOudteu 10 Tue county ny MT. brown,
owner Of the property. The old road
Is washed out and is practically i'm.
passible for heavy hauling while the
approach to the bridge is a steep hill
The fill will eliminate these con
ditions and remove two short steep
grades, making level high road.
The commissioners have practically
decided to allow the thirty days left
for remonstrance, open for klemm
and then to build the road They were
advised by the county bridge engineer
that a suit by Klemm on the sup.
position that he would be flooded
probably would be thrown out OF
court. His only resort until after a
flood had proved his contention, would
be an injunction to stop the fill
The property which Klemm claims
would be damaged to the extent OF
$4,000, he purchased several years
ago for $1,S60 His milling business
is said to be small. Klemm says he
has been caught by floods four times
when he was unprepared and was
forced to shovel flour out of his base.

ST. ANDREWS NETS
$1,000 FROM SALE
OF PEWS IN CHURCH

There was no indication of hard
times in the bidding for pews at the
ST. Andrews church yesterday and the
average paid was far higher than last
year. Almost $1,000 was realized from
the sale.
There is a minimum of $50 for
choice seats along the center isle.
These seats have capacity of five per-
sons. A number of families who had
been back farther in the church or at
the sides desired to change their seats,
while last years holders desired to
retain them.
This brought up the prices and soon
seats were selling at $40 to $75. Henry
Steens, who paid the highest price last
year, ran up against stiff bidder and
paid SIT for his seats. This was the
highest price paid.
The bidding followed the service.
There was no sermon. but Father
Roell made a short talk preceding the
auction. He expressed the hope that
everyone would purchase seat. as
that is the chief means of the support
of the church. He then declared all
seats free and ready for purchase.
In anticipation of the auction the
church was crowded and almost every
family Of the church was represented.

WORK OF PRISONERS
SAVES COUNTY $50
FOR THREE MONTHS
Road Superintendent Re
ports Employment of Twice
as Many Will Save Price
of Truck.

The use of six prisoners daily for
three months saved the county road
system $67O net and as result of the
showing made in his first semi-annual
report, County Roard Superintendent
Jones will be able to show that with
the use of twice as many prisoners
daily, enough can be saved in sum-
mer to purchase a big automobile
truck
Some interesting figures are shown
in the seEi-annual report which Mr..
Jones has just completed. 1t estab-
fishes the practicability of the new
road system beyond question. Even
though it was necessary to work out
various phases of the law and insti-
tute new practices, the 24O miles of
county road have been placed in better
condition at less cost than ever before.
The total expenditure of the depart
ment for material, wages, equipment
and general expense was $7,959.89. 1t
cost $500 to clean off the snow late in
March so the road expenditure was
practically little more than $1,000. In
cluded in this, is also the cost of re-
pairing the estimated $4,000 Liberty
pike washout. Under Jones, this cost
$500.
Repair Cost Low.
Lumber and cement cost $416.68.
This was for building up old sewers.
New sewers cost $416.46 and road ma.
chinery cost $55623. Old claims
against the county for road work done
prior to the time the law was in force
amounted to $35420. These claims,
ueuucted as being not entirely belong
ing to the road work, would leave the
cost of maintenance of roads at less
than $4,000.
For this sum, 240 miles of county
road was worked. Some of the more
travelled roads were gone over as
many as three times. The National
road was put in travelling condition the
whole width of the county, except to
the Ohio line

.$047 800 RETURNS
TO WAYNE FARMERS
FROM 1914 HARVEST
Value of Wheat Estimate
$262,5OO; Oats $50, 900 /;
Clover SIS, 900; Corn
$5OO,OOO.
BY A. o. COBB.

Wayne county farmers will market
$847 500 from their farms this season.
Almost before the reaper in the
field Is silenced, the stream Of golden
grain has started on it's way to the
elevators and mills, and the threaten
ing shadow of hard times and dull
business is fading in the glow of
bounteous harvest. The Golfers of the
banker will be replenished, the Ia
borers in factory and field will be fed,
and blanket of plenty will spread
over the land.
At conservative estimate of 25, 200
acres of wheat harvested in Wayne
county, with an average yield Of fifteen
wheat will be the contribution given
by farmers to Wayne county's pros
perity.
This crop marketed at 20 cents q
bushel will mean the placing of $780,
500 in circulation. This money will be
expended by the farmers for clothing,
implements, building material, food
stuffs, automobiles, fertilizer, and in
this way will be distributed to those
engaged in every branch of local indus
try.
The oats crop at the very lowest
estimate should be valued at about
$4,000, most of which, however, will
b. retained on the farms for feeding
purposes. A little later the clover
seed should add another $4,000. Some
hay will be sold, but it is impossible to
estimate the amount. The present out
look for corn, indicates not less than
a 100000 bushel yield, which, at so
cents bushel, would be valued at a
cool million dollars.
The farmers farm is his bank, and
the greater part of his income is al
ways invested in improvements, and
restocking. This means that the
money received from these crops will
go into immediate circulation, and al
ready universal feeling of optimism
is developing in trade circles.

Richmond was the center of a severe
storm which swept this section of the
county shortly before noon today.
Several minor injuries were report
ed.
The wind blew large limbs from
trees along the streets and in the
parks. --- ....
The heavy rain which fell filled
storm sewers to their capacity and
flooded many cellars in the north end.
During the rain storm large balls of
hail fell cooling the air considerably.
Charles Greenstreet, 18 years old, an
employe of the Grand Leader store,
was severely cut about the head when
a glass transom in the front of the
store blew in. Greenstreet was stand
ing at the door in front of the store.
The cuts in the boys head are. not
serious. After the storm he was
taken to a physicians office and his
wounds were treated. The glass in
the front door of the store was broken
when the transom fell. The crash
was heard for more than block.

Judge Fox temporarily suspended
case he was hearing in circuit court.
When the storm broke, a witness
in the county circuit court room

The wind carried a sash from the
court house about 100 feet around the
corner of the building, where it fell
with crash.
I A wagon belonging to Jack Goodwin
