J|TNEY BUS OPENS
MAIN STREET Line
Richmond is to have, a iitney bus

NlcnmOnQ is TO nave jitney bus.
G. M. Marx, 2S South Twelfth street,
who recently came here from Dayton,
called upon Prosecutor Keller today
and asked him If he could operate such
public conveyance, explaining that
the car which he intended to use had
an Ohio license. The prosecutor gave
him permission to operate the bus for
week, telling him that If at the ex.
piration of that time he wanted to con.
tinue in the business it would be neces.
sary for him to secure an Indiana
license.
Street railway companies in other
cities where the jitney busses have
made their appearance have declared
uncompromising war against them.
Just what attitude the local street rail.
way company will take is not known,
the attorney for the company stating
that he has never received instruc-
ttons on this point. 1t is possible the
company my claim that the operation
of this bus is violation OF it's fran.
chise rights
Il intend to operate my machine
along the principal streets charging a
fare Of five cents, - Marx said today.
II think my principal route will be
along Main street from Glen Miller
park to Earlham college, and another
route may be from the corner of

CITIZENS IN TERROR
1000 Constables Report for
Duty to Thwart Long Elk.
pected Attack of Teuton
Airmen.

LONDON, April 16.-The Star prints
report that a German aeroplane Of
the Taube type has been brought down
near East Church.
Reports that German aeroplanes
were bombarding towns in Kent reach
ed here this afternoon and were
promptly printed by the evening
papers. The Echo printed statement
that the aeroplanes were dropping
bombs upon Sittingbourne and Favers-
ham. Sittingbourne Is 28 miles south
east of here and Haversham is about
36 miles from the capital. Both are a
few miles from the British naval base
at Chatham.
These reports caused considerable
alarm. The ordering of extraordinary
precautions indicate that the author
tiles fear a Zeppelin raid on London
tonight. The special board OF 1000
constables organized when the war be-
gun was instructed to report at Scot
land Yard. 1t was apparently the be-
lief of the authorities that the long
threatened attack of Zeppelins against
the British capital was imminent. The
raid of Thursday night and this morn
ing were regarded in official circles as
a reconnoitering expedition.
Zeppelin Reaches Home.
A dispatch from Amsterdam says
three Zeppelin airships passed Pile
land island at a. m. flying eastward.
They are believed to be the airships
that nearly reached London early in
the day. Zeppelin airships raided Eng
land early today. dropping 100 bombs
upon half a dozen towns.

FROM REGISTER

pealed sentence to the county Jail for
assault, has withdrawn from the Sec.
ond Presbyterian church at the re-
quest of the session, it was learned to-
day.
Mr. Underhill has been a member of
the church for eighteen years. He
Joined under Stanley Hughes shortly
after the church was organized. In
that time he has been before the ses-
sion twice prior to this week.
Mr.. Underhill was asked to with
draw and thus avoid the publicity
which would be caused by a church
trial. After learning of the futility of
swinging members of the congrega-
tion and session in his favor, he signed
a statement asking that his name be
erased from the church roll. The
statement will be read in church Sun.
day.
Mr.. Underhill was called before the
session in March, 1913 when he was
taken into police court for an assault
on cripple. but on his promise of
good conduct, he was permitted to re-
main in the church. He has never
held an office in the church during his
membership.

IRATE PAPA SENDS
FOR El0PlNc PAIR
TO RETURN HOME
All's we'll that ends we'll.

Two days ago Rex Haviland OF
Geneva, Ind. eloped with his sweet.
heart, Mildred Pontius, and the wrath
of Homer Pontius over being made a
father-in-law without his consent knew
no bounds. Rex and Mildred were
married in Covington, KY. then came
to Richmond. In the meantime Mr.
Pontius was beseeching the Covington
and Cincinnati police to arrest the
elopers, but they arrived in Richmond
before the police of those two cities
could mar their honeymoon.
Arriving here yesterday Mr. and
Mrs. Haviland registered at the Ar.
lington hotel. The police we're inform.
ed and this morning the irate Mr..
Pontius was notified of their presence.
Arrest Haviland. I don't want him,
but send my daughter home," was the
command that sizzled over the wires.
Cant do that. They are married. -
said Sergeant McNally.
Later Mr.. Pontius called up police
headquarters. This time he spoke
kindly.
Say, Mr.. Officer" he said, tell both
of those kids to come back home.
Tell 'em I forgive 'em. Tell 'em to
come right away"
When this was told the newly weds,
young Haviland winked at his pretty
bride. The police are convinced that
the elopers knew from the first that
all they had to do was to wait patient.

coming.

FOR ORGANIZING
FAKE COMPANY
Henry Scheid Faces Charge
of Stealing Equipment
Which He Sold to Batavia
Concern.

Henry J. Scheid, who is alleged to
be a business promoter of the Get
Rich-Quick Wallingford type. was ar
rested in this city last evening upon
the request of the authorities at
Batavia, O., near Cincinnati. He is
charged with grand larceny.
Over the long distance telephone
this afternoon the prosecuting attor.
ney of Clermont county, Ohio, charged
Scheid with having sold his patent
rights to a wood crushing device and
the machinery and equipment Of his
factory at Batavia to people living in
that town, and then packing the ma
chinery and other equipment and ship
ping 1t to a point near Indianapolis.
where, the Ohio official said, Scheid
has been attempting to organize an
other company and sell to 1t the
articles he is alleged to have smuggled
out of Batavia.
Scheid Gets Attorney.
The Clermont county prosecutor
said that he did not believe Schefd
had as yet been successful in dispos-
ing of the alleged property a second
time but had been fairly successful in
interesting people in his project for
locating factory near Indianapolis.
Scheid was very indignant when he
was arrested and professed great as
tonishment. saying that he was alb
solutely innocent of any wrong doing.
He has refused to return to Batavia
unless requisition papers are issued.
When he was taken to police head
quarters he secured Attorney J. L.
Rupe to look after his interests. Mr.
Rupe told Chief Goodwin that he had
no right to arrest Scheid without a
warrant but the chief contended that
the telegraphic request for Scheid's
arrest was sufficient. The chief also
refused Mr.. RUPEES request that his
client be permitted to send the night
at hotel under guard of police
officer.
The Clermont county sheriff has
gone to Indianapolis to secure a
requisition for Scheid and will prob
ably arrive here this evening or tomor-
row morning.

Ranks a. Authority.
Mr.. Bowman has been regarded az
authority on questions relating to the
Office of auditor and to taxation ques
tions, and is known over the state by
his work with the Indiana Tax associa
ton.
Mr.. Bowman serving his first term
as auditor Of the county. It will ex
gin a second term to which he was
elected last November. At the time
he takes office on his second term
he probably will be in the thick Of the
fight for the state office.
Office Open In 1916.
Under the new Jones direct primary
act, the state offices, other than gov.
ernor, come under the head of the only
political conventions which the Law
provides for. Instead of nominating
the state candidates by direct primary
as all other township, county, congress.
sional and national officers, delegates
will be elected to political conventions
to take place in Indianapolis, where
the state nominees will be picked.
The office is held at present by Dale
J. Crittenberger, whose term expires
November "a, 1916, a short time after
the election.
B. r. Inman, who has been in Rich.
mond on business with the German.

declared the movement for Mr.. Bow
mans candidacy is not only Of local
significance.
Persons who know of Mr.. Bowman,
without exception. declare he is the
best county auditor in Indiana" Mr. In.
man said. "He has made studies of
Indiana's taxation laws. which resulted
in the agitation for tax reform before
the last legislature. AS result of the
work he did on taxation, little or.
ganization or committee was formed
in the Commercial club here in 1913,
and in February, 1914. this resulted
in the organization OF the Indiana Tax
association, of which he was elected
vice president. As a result Of the dis
crepencies he found in the laws and
the changes he suggested, his name
became known in that connection, and
later people naturally found out more
about him. Since then the word has
gone around that Lew Bowman is the
man for state auditor.

Principal Pickell OF the Richmond
high school will deliver an address in
Bloomington tomorrow before the sec
ond conference of school teachers hear
ing a series of instructions on educa-
tional measures, conducted under the
auspices of the Indiana state colleges.
Mr.. Pickell will discuss the distribu.
ton of teachers marks on students
work, showing the lack Of uniformity
in marking and grading, the reliability
of the teacher and the need of consid-
ering a plan to standardize this part
of the school work.

The following is the statement as is
sued by the committee from the board
Of trustees:
Earlham college does not now have
and never has had unrestricted stud
ent government. All disciplinary mat.
tersa are under the supervision OF the
faculty which works through COM
rnittee on student affairs In all I'm
portant cases the faculty committee
makes the decisions. The student
council works on the basis of preven-
ton, and in cases Of violations of DOR
mitory regulations makes investiga-
tions and recommendations to the fac
ulty committee. The faculty commit
tee frequently modifies the recon-
mendations Of the student council in
making their final decision. The splen-
did cooperation between students and
faculty brought about by this system
of partial student government is con-
sidered invaluable by the administra-
ton. No system Of government is per-
feet but after several years trial Earl
ham college is not now ready to 60
back to the old system of complete
faculty rule.
'Earlham college does not retain
members of the faculty who are known
to be unsympathetic with the teach
ings of the Friends church. 1t is no
unusual thing for faculty member to
leave because Of this very fact. In
