Election of officers of the German
American Savings and Trust bank will
be held next week.
Members of the board of directors
said today that a directors meeting
will be called, probably Wednesday,
when list of officers and other en-
ployes Of the bank will be selected.
1t is understood that the directors
have made tentative selections, which
Will not be announced until a definite
arrangement is made with each of the
proposed officers and employees.
1t Is understood that w F. Bockhoff
will be made secretary of the banking
company. For some time it has been
known that c. w. Jordan, secretary of
the Commercial club, would be the
chief active officer of the bank, as he
resigned his position as club secretary
to accept the new place.
The bank will open at Ninth and
Main streets in the room now occupied
by the Western Union Telegraph com
pany as soon as the change can be
made. The telegraph company will
require some time to move, because of
the complex system of cables and wires
which must be installed.
Officials of the Western Union an
nounced that new equipment installed
in the last two years enables the COM
pany to make the move. The general
ing system replaces many batteries
which were formerly required, and the
new switchboard occupies one-seventh
of the space taken by the old arrange
ment.

CHOIR SINGS SONGS
BY fannie Grossly
Baptist Church Pays Tribute
to Blind Hymn Writer,
Who Died Recently.

The sincerity Of religious belief was
the subject of an evangelical sermon
by Rev. w. O. Stovall at the First Bap-
fist church last night.
I'VE live in an age of specialties
and rivalry" said Mr.. Stovall. I'VE
like to be pleased and we let that
notion get away with us rather than a
desire to learn the truth Too many
of us are seeking for religion that
caters to our bodily comfort, and later
find that it leads in the wrong direct
ion. 1t is as reasonable to select a
train for journey because the color
of the cars and the appearance of the
conductor suits us, as to select re-
ligion that suits our outward fancy
The train will very likely take us in
the opposite direction from that which
we wished to travel, and the religion
may do the same thing. We should
let the truth of God determine for US
just what our religion shall be, and
place our desires in the background -
All Of the hymns used in the even
ing service were written by Fannie
Crosby, the blind singer who died last
week. Rev. Stovall spoke briefly of
her life of faith, and of the influence
her songs would have on Christian
people, long after she had died.

Serve as Witnesses Against
Paul Apkins in Case in
Connersville Court.

Peter Paul Apkins. forger. bigamist
and plotter of demonical ingenuity
will be brought from the Kentucky
state penitentiary tomorrow and taken
to the Fayette county Jail to await
trial for forgery.
Up to May 20, 1911, Apkins, then 33
years old, was known as reliable.
sober, industrious and honest man. He
was employed at the Starr Piano COM
pany where he probably laid his plans
for the two months career which fol-
lowed.
On May 20 Apkins forged three
checks on the Second National bank
using the name of E. H. Mason. He
secured $3.50. Payment was refused
on 1928 check on the Centerville State
bank. Apkins then met a young widow
who. still lives in Richmond and left
here for Paris. ILL.,, where they were
married May Fl.
Leaves for Chicago.
They returned Immediately to Rich
mond but Apkins told his wife that he
had to make business trip to Chi
cago. He left her at Indianapolis and
went to Nichlasville, KY, where he
met Miss Elizabeth Young. They were
"d Iiieu Way a. anu WeAI ~ NiAoiA-
natl.
In hotel there May 20, Apkins
drugged his second wife and robbed
her of jewels and $110 in cash. His
wife's screams were heard and he told
authorities who investigated that she
became hysterical when she thought a
burglar was trying to enter the room.
Leaving his wife in this condition he

corresponded with a young woman

thus escaping him. He then went to

Bank Cashes Check.
On July 10, Apkins forged a check

ed by E. Hensley, Richmond saloon
keeper The check was cashed at the
Fayette National bank in Connersville
Apkins left Connersville Immediately
and when he arrived in Richmond on
the 9:20 interurban that night, Chief
OF Police Gormon arrested him. He in.
nocently inquired the cause of the ar.
rest and the police were never able
to secure statement from him. The
Kentucky authorities failed to convict
him for murder and Indiana authorities
agreed to permit his prosecution for
bigamy although Wayne county had
first claim against him.
1t is believed Apkins will get long
penitentiary sentence in Fayette
county. Many Richmond persons will
be called on as witnesses. 1t will be
some time before he can be brought
to Richmond and tried for the forger-
les here The evidence is still retain
ed, however.

MINISTER Won JACOW PREPARES
REPLY TO j. s. SHIPPING Note

Is to go into effect in three days. 1t
is hoped by the foreign office that the
reply can be transmitted to Washing
ton by Tuesday. Some points were
cleared up at conference on Saturday
evening between Herr Won Jagow and
Ambassador Gerard and it is expect
ed that the rest can be settled without
difficulty
No attempt is made to conceal the
fact that the issue centering about the
steamer Wilhelmina is the crux of the
situation. Germany feels that Eng
land, in selling the cargo Of this ship,
has declared its purpose OF starving
the people of Germany.
If the United States could induce
England to alter her position as to
foodstuffs consigned to the 'civilian
population Of Germany, it is limited
here that an agreement could be reach
ed by which all the belligerents could
unite for the protection of neutral
shipping.
The koelnische Zeitung, which has
published several editorils characterize
ing American neutrality" has renew
ed it's attacks since the receipt of the
United States note, which the foreign
office considers conciliatory in it's en-
tirety and a frank exposition of Ameri-
can views.
Prom the German point of view, the
contents of the United States note is
not considered in conciliatory man
ner only says the newspaper today.
