will be staged at the Masonic Tenn
pie for three whole nights and the
dates for the affair have been set for
next month-Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, June 21st, 22nd and 23rd.
Remember the days when sheriffs

Der when lynching parties (not tea
parties) were all the rage and when
out best citizens were caught with
too many kings or queens or per-
haps held five ices and were then
and there strung up from the nearest
building? Remember when roulette
wheels were more common than wa
gon wheels?

LARGEST QUAKER
BODY IN WORLD
OPENS SESSIONS

Bp Times Special
RICHMOND. Ind, Aug. 2S.-The
1oSrd~ conference Of the Indiana Year
ly Meeting of Friends. the largest
Quaker body in the world. opened here
today.
Reports from twelve Of the sixteen
quarterly meetings comprising the In
diana Yearly Meeting were heard Mon
day preliminary to the opening SEES
sion. The spiritual condition Of the
1913 congregations comprising the body
were discussed and the final finding
of the body will be submitted later
in the week. Representatives from
nearly all the meetings are present.
One of the interesting questions to
come before the sessions is the form
OF the celebration in 1924 com
memorating the 900th anniversary of
the birth OF George Fox, the founder
of the Quaker Church. Greater par
ticipation OF young friends in all the
activities of the body win be a
characteristic Of this session.

Swimming the river"
Milburn lives in a tent on little
island near 5. West st. His only COM
panions arc some tiny chicks and a

is a rickety old rowboat.
Pushing off into the river, armed
with long handled stewpan and
some large lard cans, Milburn skins
from the river grease discharged by
packing industries.
When the containers are full he
rows back to his island retreat and
pours the contents into some old-fash-

meath, the water soon is boiled away,
leaving only the grease. This he sells
to soap factories.

An official summary Of the note

The problem has reached a point
where friendly, discreet conversations
between the allied ministers might
take the place Of notes, without there
being any actual conference, the nots
says. 1t regrets that Belgtum's pre-
vious conciliatory suggestions rallied
to provide justification for a joint al

Fred Kline, member Of the park
board, and Ernest Kingston, president

ference in protesting against further

the mayors proposed budget Of $1.O2,
CITY departments would operate on less
money than this year. by S97,S94.
Thompson said councilmen were
elected to reduce taxes, and were
carrying out their pledge. The mayor,
holding that the Legislature was re-
sponsibIe for increased tax rates. said
obligation TO the public for municipal

Thomson denied charges that coun-
cilrnen were trying to embarrass the
Shank administration. The mayor as
railed the present and former councils
of the city for inactivity and lack Of
constructive program.
You just meet the problems i'm
mediateIy ahead OF you with appar-
rently no thought Of the future
growth Of the city" said Shank "a
councilman in this city is unknwon as
soon as he goes out of office. and I'll
bet there are few citizens who can
name the members of our common
council, or even know how many
we have"
Thompson took note Of figures sub
mitted and will report back to the
council.

ALLUR|NG PHOTOS
SHARED VICTIMS
FOR LOVE BUREAU
Imaginative Pen of Woman
Blamed for Alleged Mail
Fraud Plot.

Masculine armor proved Of no avail
against photographs Of beautiful
maids and the imaginative pen of
Mrs. Jennie Adams of Anderson, who
tieeced sentimental suitors from all
parts of the United States out of
several thousand dollars, according to
Federal authorities today.
Meantime, Mrs Adams, AZ, and her
husband, Charles Adams, AZ, were in
the Marion County Jail today in de-
fault of bond of $4,000 each, charged
with conspiracy to violate\the postal
laws through operation Of a, matri-
monial bureau.
They waived arraignment at hear
ing before Howard S. Young, United
States commissioner, Monday.
Simple Scheme, Simple Victims.
The scheme was a simple one, post
office inspectors said. According to
their story, Mrs. Adams would answer
matrimonial advertisements.
She would first send the prospective
victim a photograph of a beautiful
girl, supposed to be herself: Burning
love letters would then follow.
Eventually, they said, she would
ask the sweetheart" for railroad fare
to his place Of residence in order that
they might be married.
