When you examined me I want you to write the officer that I am not in shape to be lure in the shape my lungs are in. They said I had consumption. Write end tell just how I was when you ex amined me. I can't stand to be in here in this shape and my lungs hurt me awful bad. I can't get any fresh air in here. Please answer by return mail." The Henry county physician's letter Ito- Sheriff Steen follows: "Ed Stegall has consumption, prov ed by the state laboratory. Of course, confinement would be harmful to him.

WHY ABE ARCHES And if They Are There, Why Not Have a Local Art Com mission to Pass on Their Artistic Merits Before Erection? BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. There are sundry amusing things in this world. Styles in women's clothes for one thing. And then there are the arches at the Glen. Now the arch at the east entrance of the Glen is not so bad. In fact it does very well. For a beer garden, say. Or to some of those aggregations of suburban villas promoted by real es tate agents on the fringes of mush room metropolises. You can see these weird entrances, savoring of the middle ages, when draw-bridges, moats and private fortifi cations were in character, looming up at various intervals when you're riding in by the interurban. This is not saying, however, that that arch was not put up with proper spirit and intent. But by all the laws of aesthetics it does not belong where it is. It does not fit into its setting. If we are going to have public mon uments and what the writer has many a time and oft described in the society column as "decorative accessories," let tflem be constructed on something be sides those famous "plans and specifi cations." Why not make up a civic art com mission and submit such intended con structions to them for approval or lack of. it. Such art commissions are current nowadays everywhere. New York has one, and other places. Why not Richmond, Indiana. This column hereby nominates Wil liam Dudley Foulke as chairman of such a momentous body although a body to have a chair may be some thing of a bull to confer with Mr. B. A. Kennepohl of the Board of Public Works. These two gentlemen, without rival in their respective fields of erudition, could get together, nominate a third person to act as referee and call a mass meeting of interested citizens to discuss the merits or demerits of those plans and specifications which the city engineer will draw up for the orna ment, alleged, of the west entrance to the Glen. "Now is the time to insure," so to speak. If all the people who say they don't want that arch at the east entrance duplicated, even in part, and all those who violently rant against it at all, will get together before ground is bro ken and the plans and specifications begin to body forth under the physical vision, they'd better get together now. Because the Chautauqua shekels have been garnered into the city treas ury and ere long these mighty civic works will loom large in the east end. However long it may take council to get that sanitary fountain the Daughters of the American Revolution presented to the city out of the cellar, where it has long languished in dur ance vile, officialdom will lose no time in formulating the monument to the old soldiers at the west entrance to our beautiful municipal breathing place. Haste then, civic beautifiers. The truth is that these arch things at the Glen's mouth are more or less absurd. And this with all due respect to Mr. Ed. Hollarn, custodian of the park. Mr. Hollarn has been one of the best custodians the Glen has ever had. He has the interests of the park at heart and his desire to protect the trees should commend him to every citizen of this town. It is also his de sire to grade the hill west of tne lake and grow it with vines or grass or shrubbery and thus remove one of the worst and most inexcusable eye-sores in the park. Hollarn, in fact has suggested that some of the chautauqua money be used to this end. It will, he states, take about six hun dred dollars. And certainly this should be done before monuments of an alarming and anomalous character are erected in the foreground. The truth is these arches for the Glen ought to be referred to a civic primary. FIRE CHIEF TO ATTEND Fire Chief Miller will attend the meeting of the International Associa tion of Fire Engineers to be held at Denver, Col., September 17-21. The program provides for papers, address es and discussions covering the entire field of fire fighting. In connection with the convention there is a large exhibition of the latest improvements and inventions in fire fighting appa ratus. DEATH PACT CAUSE FOR THE TRAGEDY (National News Association) BOSTON, Sept. 11. A death pact is believed by the police to be behind the killing of Miss Mabel Clayton at the Preble house early today by Frank E. Ogilvie of Melrose, who af terward shot himself in the right tem ple. The young woman died at the Re lief hospital within half an hour from a bullet wound in the head. Ogilvie is dying. Some sheet music containing the song "Let's Forget We ever Met" which was found in the hotel room,' strengthens the theory the couple had resolved to die together. The song was open at the last verse where a line reads: 'Until we say goodby." Two seats for a Boston theater were found. Apparently the two had resolved to spend their last hours on earth as happily as possible. From the theater it is believed they went to the hotel where Ogilvie registered shortly after midnight. AT THE GLEII? Let the people vote on the proposi tion. The park belongs to them. But they seem to have little to say or the disposition made of its land scape. Richmond doesn't want to make it telf ridiculous. It has one of the most extraordinary parks of Its sort in the country. A place of perfect natural beauty. With out artificial bolstering. These arches and monumental en trances are, therefore, out of harmony with the character of the landscape. For an amusement park with shoot the shutes and other insane devices for amusing the uncou, they are apro- 1-OB. But for a pleasure ground made up of rolling landscape they are out of keeping. This should be taken into account by local officialdom. There's no use pooh-poohing at such things. For certain artistic canons are as fixed as the stars. And they remain fixed despite their disregard. Why not admit there are some things you don't know as much about as oth ers. The writer freely admits she knows cement nothing about constructing a sidewalk. Or building a skyscraper. Or performing an operation for appendi citis. And a million other things. And maybe there are people here in town who could and would be bet ter judges of this arch affair than oth ers. The finest thing in the world is to say "I don't know." Especially when you don't. People are too afraid of what other people will think of them if they say they don't. When the fact is that a person of only ordinary shrewdness can always tell that you don't know a thing even if you say you do. The writer once encountered Mayor Zimmerman in an art exhibit. And has always admired him be cause he said he didn't give a celebrat ed ding about certain "features" of the affair. "The fact is," said Dr. Zimmerman, "that I don't care anything about art. What I'm interested in is horses." Not that the writer agreed with him. For that he has an art sense, even if he doesn't admit it, is illustrated in his determination to take the tracks out of the Glen. And in the removal of sundry hide ous bill-boards which defaced the civ ic landscape. And in the possession of some very handsome bits of teakwood furniture and other Japanese curios. But if everybody was as frank how much nicer it would be. If only some of our highbrow would say "I don't give a hang about opera. What I like is ten cent vaudeville." But of course the line must be drawn somewhere All the same a lot of people think that if monuments are going to be er ected at the approaches to the city park they ought to have some artistic raison d' etre. By the way, why not remove the amateur zoo to some less conspicuous but Just "as convenient spot, and en large it. Everybody likes the animals. That is nearly everybody. But they are an eyesore and plague spot where they are. Why not move them to the open place east of the elk park, and put them into habitable quarters with a special keeper. As it is they are not given proper treatment through lack of special knowledge of their needs. Some of these animals are undoubt edly insane. So said a noted scientist who passed through here a few years since and vis ited the Glen. Properly looked after an enlarge melt of the local zoo would prove an interesting phase of the park's attrac tions. But it should be moved from its present location. THREE WERE KILLED (National News Association) PROVIDENCE, R. I., Sept. 11.

(Palladium Special) EATON, O., Sept. 1 l.-Conf routed by a charge of arson, Mrs Cora Hald- erman, wife of Dr. Allen S. Haider man, of New Paris, will be arraigned next Monday in the common pleas court for trial before Judge A. C. Rls inger. The return of such an indictment against the woman followed one of the many outbreaks of domestic un pleasantness that have at frequent intervals brought into the spotlight Mrs. Halderman and her husband, Dr. Allen S. Halderman, of New Paris. It is alleged that after a difference be tween the couple Mrs. Halderman started a fire which partially destroy ed their picturesque home, "The House of Gables," opposite the Cedar Springs health resort, near New Paris. The origin of the fire was gener ally termed mysterious, and a state fire marshal made an investigation, with the result that a grand jury near ly one year ago returned an indict ment against the woman. This fact became known and before county au- tao"t'es culd apprehend her, Mrs. naiaerman naa ilea. Efforts to locate her were not made and not until her attempt to dispose of an illegitimate child of her daugh ter did her whereabouts become known. The infant was left at the door of Mayor W. W. Zimmerman's home at Richmond. The disposition of the child had been made, but in order to escape a more serious accusation, the mother confessed to Cincinnati police. It was then that she was located by local authorities, who placed her under ar rest when she returned to Richmond a couple months ago. She has since been confined in the county jail. A minor son in her custody at that time was taken from her and placed in the county children's home. Her husband, claiming that the lad is of ! unusual inventive qualities, has long ed for his custody and has even threatened legal steps, but has failed. The accused woman strenuously de nies her guilt, and the outcome of the case is attracting considerable at tention. ACCUSED OF THEFT COMMITS SUICIDE (National News Association) DAYTON, O., Sept. 11.
