Term ON FARM
PUTS new LIFE
INTO PRISONERS

Men broken physically from drink
ana dissipation are almost regenerac
ed by q few weeks Of life ut the penal
farm. said George Seidel. member OF
the board Of trustees. The outdoor
life and exercise. the pure air. whole
some food and long hours OF sleep
have been working wonders among
the patients. In some cases inmates
have added fifteen to twenty-five
sounds In their brief terms.
The effect Of their treatment has
been wonderful, according to Mr.. Sci
del. who said that when these men left
the penal farm with clean, healthy
bodies, they stood q better chance OF
becoming good citizens than II they
had served an equal term In any dark
and combining jail.
Mr.. Seidel will attend meeting of
the trustees at Indianapolis Thursday
which has been called to consider let
ting the contract for a power and
light plant The session Of the board
last Wednesday was held at the farm
when a thorough inspection OF work
ing conditions was made.
Charges that land about the farm
has deprecated In value and that the
inmates are permitted to roam at
large without discipline and to accost
women and girls in the vicinity were
denied by Mr.. Seidel.
Discipline at the farm Is excellent,
he said. especially when 1t Is copsid-
cred that the institution was only op-
ened on April IL. Since that time
there have been more than seven hun
dred men committed to the colony.
Last Wednesday there was an enroll
ment Of SIS. These men are kept in
squads under an overseer who accom-
panies them to and from the fields
where they work. They are not al
lowed to leave the farm.
OF the total number only thirty
have escaped or approximately per
cent. Records of the Institution, Mr..
Seidel said. show that most OF the fu-
gitives were residents of other states.
He thought It unlikely that runaways
would roam about the country near
the farm as both inmates and farmers
know that reward of $40 is offered
for the capture Of each man. Few
would remain In the state. he believed.
Criticism which has been made, Mr..
Seidel said. was no doubt due to the
newness of the institution. n

INDUSTRIAL COMMITTEE
OF COMMERCIAL CLUB
SILENT ABOUT FACTORY

While in Indianapolis yesterday it
is believed that three members of the
new industries committee O.. the Com
mercial club conferred with Finly P
Mount, receiver for the M. Rumely
company. Members OF the committee
who were in Indianapolis on mission
shrouded with secrecy were: Howard
A. Dill, John Nicholson and s. E..
Swayne.
All refused to discuss the visit to-
day saying that divulgence of any de-
tails might interfere with the nego-
tiations. A member of the committee
admitted today that the business in
hand would not necessarily mean the
bringing of new industry to the city.
Keep Trip Secret.
This admission confirms the report
that the visit had to do with the &C.
cupation of the M. Rumely plant by
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1915-07-20

to depression in the crosswalk at
Grant and Ridge streets in Fairview,
where a great hole of water collects
during rain.
w. P. O'Neal declared South Fiji
teenth between c and E-streets to be
in the worst condition of any street
in the city. He asked that the road
way be macadamized as had been
promised. Mayor Robbins informed
him that the macadam could not be
laid this year as there were other
streets in the city which needed re-
pair and improvement more than that
did.
The complaints weer referred to the
board Of public works, for investiga-
tiOns

a small company, as it was stated the
negotiations did not involve a large
amount of capital.
Whether a movement is on foot to
form a local company to operate the
old Gaar-Scott factories could not be
learned. The purpose of the trip is
known only to few members Of the
board of directors. The secret mis-
sion also revived hope today that there
was still chance of the Canadian
government taking over the local
Rumely plant for the manufacturing Of
war munitions and that the club is
urging Finly Mount to continue nego-
tiations.
Whether another new industry will
be located in Richmond or not may
be known within the next three weeks,
it was announced by Secretary Haas
of the Commercial club today.

London, Aug. 10.-WhiIe the Ameri-
can exchange problem is being ap-
parently ignored by the British gov
eminent, which is content to let gold
slip away In small quantities without
making an effort to meet its Indebted
ness to the United States, much advice
is being given by economists, through
the medium of the press, as to the most
e~fficacious method of dealing with this
problem, which. with an adverse trade
balance of several hundreds millions
sterling. grow more pressing every
week.
One writer advocates compulsory
economy to reduce imports and argues
that IL the American exchange con-
tinues against Great Britain the prices
of foodstuffs and other necessities will
continue to rise. 1t may develop that
there will soon be no exchange ut all,

there exists only a nominal exchange

ARTES|AN CAVE in

Chamberlain. S. D.. Aug, 10.-Hun-
dreds OF persons today are watching
the ground in the region OF the San
ford well cavein. Cracks in the earth
radiate from the extensive sunken dis
trict and it is growing larger. Since
the first rel Saturday night, many
smaller strips of earth have gone into
the hole, which is of unknown depth.
Trees, telephone poles and several
buildings nave been swallowed up in
the strange cavein. The bridge across
American creek, near the well, has al
SO gone down, and the buildings of the
Chamberlain Milling company have
been wrecked. The electric light com
city is without light or water.
The Sanford artesian well at one
time furnished power for the milling
company, but for 10 years it has been
practically useless, as it spurts mud
The old w plant went down in the
cavein.
Spreading Of the cracks and the ac-
ton of earth in slowly but steadily
slipping into the cavein has given
ground for serious fears here. Cracks
now extend for a distance of 500 feet
from the center of the hole, and the
railroad yards are threatened. Watch
ers are out day and night, but no pre-
tentative measures may be taken
since none are known.

the undermined surface earth that 1t
dropped in. The hole is filling with
water as rapidly as it grows larger.
