VACATION GRANTED
POLICE OFFICERS

Members of the board of metropoli
tan police commissioners at their
meeting last night decided not only to
give every member of the force a two
weeks vacation this year but, on and
after April 1, every officer will be en-.
titled to one day off duty each month
lnasmuch as a police officer has to
work every day in the week, the com
missioners thought each officer was
entitled to at least one day off duty
on full pay each month. Each officer
Of the force has number and the day
of the month corresponding to his
number will be his day off duty The
chief and first and second sergeants
will each have a day off after all the
other patrolmen have had their off
duty days.
1t was further provided by the COM
missioners that no officer shall be re-
lieved from duty who does not pay
the extra officer to patrol his beat, pro-
vided of course that this rule shall not
be applicable in case of sickness or
death in the family.

SUES PENNSY
FOR SIS, 600

Clarence C. Teitsort, formerly EN-
ployed as brakeman on the Pennsyl
vania railroad and who lost his right
arm in an accident near Anderson on
the night Of December 16, last year,
today filed suit for damages against
the railroad company Teitsort, who
is represented by Robbins and Rob
bins, asks $4,000.
The Pennsylvania railroad does not
operate under the provisions of the
Indiana workmen's compensat' n law
and consequently is denied most de-
lenses formerly resorted to by employ
ers in such cases. This is the first
damage suit filed against a corpora
ton in Wayne county since the work.
mems compensation act became opera
tive
Teitsort asserts that he lost his arm
while switching a cut of cars at a
switching point two miles east of An
derson. He says that when he signal
ed the engineer to go forward the en-.
CINE started forward few feet then
suddenly backed, mangling his arm be
tween two freight cars.
Other members of the crew state
that after the accident Teitsort sat on
station platform until he could be
removed to Anderson, cody smoking
cigarette and grumbling because he
could not get matches out of his coat
pocket with his crushed hand.

Further consideration of the pro-
posed plan to supervise and control
the social activities of boys and girls
in Richmond resulted Friday after
noon at meeting in Principal F. G.
Pickelrs office in the resignation of
Mrs. Fred II. Lemon as general chair
ization of the movement to an indefi-
mite date.
Mrs. Lemon declared she believed
the task of appointing members to
form board of control and fulfilling
other duties which would necessarily
fall to her lot, through the retention
of Office, was too big and too i'm
portant" for her.
Many phases OF the propaganda in
the meeting held yesterday. 1t was
the concensus Of opinion at the close
OF the session that the substitution OF
a series of mass meetings of mothers
was preferable and would more effec-
lively achieve results, than tie pro-
posed organization of a few leaders to
carry on the work. Lack Of a definite
course of action was one OF the
reasons assigned for the decision to
leave the matter OF organization until
later and more fitting date.
The matter of calling the next meet
ing Of mothers, school teachers and
other pesons interested in child well
fare and child morals, was left to the

sunk the French Liner Provence in
the Mediterranean sea reached the to.
tai Of $3.50 lives, the ministry of ma
rine has announced. All of the dead are
French officers and soldiers.
The ministry announced that it has
developed that the Provence carried
1000 men when it sunk. The ministery
announced on February 80 that only
$40 men had been saved. 1t gave the
total number on board the ship as
1900. The announcement of today was
in the nature of correction of the
