Bramcamp yesterday when he asked
the board as to the best course for

that they would never work with him

culosis hospital and had made public
our decision before the attacks were
made on Seaney and me-" said Mr..
Cheesman. But because we did not
decide to ask for a $4,000 appropria'
ton Immediately we were attacked by
William Dudley Foulke.
"He would have accomplished much
more If he had come personally before
us and told us what was on his mind
than by doing the way he did in writ

HUGHES TRAILS
PRESIDENT into
KENTUCKY CITY

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 5.-Almost
on the heels of President Wilson,
Charles E. Hughes arrived here today
for short stay before pushing on to
Lexington, where he will deliver an
address. A crowd of several hundred
met him at the station.
Hughes will leave Lexington late
this afternoon and after brief stop
at Cincinnati will go to Albany, N Y.
whence he will go to Boston and New
York Harbor, Me-, to wind up this
trip In the Pine state. Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday will be spent in
Maine, where he has strong hopes for
an early Republican victory.
It was new Hughes that came to
Kentucky today. Spurred on by a
hostile audience in Nashville, last
night and smarting under what he
considered unfair treatment by the
labor unions there, he cut loose a
speech which put him on record as
squarely opposed to the method which
President Wilson adopted to settle the
railroad dispute.
The managers who are handling
this campaign are elated. They said
today that the governor is getting into
his 1908 stride, when he carried New
York and that from now on there will
be zip to his campaign.

OLD MEETING HOUSE

Because the Friends meeting house
north of Centerville has been aban.
doned and is no longer used for wor.
ship the trustees Of the Indiana yearly
meeting have offered the building and
three-quarters Of an acre of land on
which It stands, for SALE The meeting
was formerly affiliated with the Cen.
terville quarterly meeting.
The church was built nearly thirty
years ago, and was occupied by the
Friends until several years ago, when
it was abandoned, nearly all the mem
bers of the meeting having moved
away.
The furniture has been removed and
stored at Centerville. 1t probably will
be used by the Centerville meeting
in improvements which it is planning
to make on the meeting house.
