QUAKERS MEET TO
CHANGE CHURCH LAW
Orthodox Members Hold Five-
Year Convention at Rich-
mond Ind.
•
Richmond. Ind.. Oct. 15 —Orthodox
Quakers from all parts of the United
States Canada and England are being
entertained today in this little city
inaugurating the second five-year
meeting of the little sect /.bout 200
delegates are here reprsenting Mary-
land Indiana California. Pennsylva-
nia. New York lowa. Kansas. New
England Canada England and other
centers of Quaker influence. These
visitors represent the 100000 orthodox
■ Quakers in this country. This place
J was decided upon as the place of hold-
। ing the meeting because of the fact
' that Indiana has more Quakers with- i
in its borders than any other state in ;
America the total being about one- '
third of the whole number in the
United States.
The five-year meeting which has
been held once before was the first in
which the Friends met on anything
resembling a denominational basis. It
succeeds the general conference of
yearly meetings which were held up
to 1897 and. while it has no direct
legislative power over the yearly
meetings it represents a closer union
than did the conference. The Hicksite
or liberal Quakers numbering about
20000 in this country are not repre-
sented at the meeting. The London
yearly meeting this year sent frater-
nal delegates to the present gathering
I for the first time.
1 It is expected that a major portion
I of the sessions will be devoted to mis-
। sionary enterprises. The "uniform dis-
cipline’’ may also be subjected to
some minor changes although no es-
sential revision of the document is ex-
pected. Edmund Stanley of Wichita
Kas. is the clerk and presiding officer
and will occupy that position at the
present meeting until his successor is
I chosen.

Blue Coat Forced to Treat Julia
"Same as Any Other
Offender.
Julia Dibrill who has been nick-
named the Xantippe of the neighbor-
hood ran amuck last night. She
made night hideous. The noise at-
tracted a policeman who rushed to
the scene. Arriving he tackled Julia
but proved no match for her. Like
a wild animal clawing and scratching
she defended herself against the guar-
dian of the law all the while pouring
her Invective upon his duty-uevoted
head.
The officer seeing an old negro in
the neighborhood summoned him to
his assistance but the latter having
heard of the baleful effects which re-
sult from interfering with officers in
his ignorance declined positively to
lend a hand. The policeman then
resorted to force dragged the woman
to where there was a street car and
took her to jail. Presently he re-
turned. and also placed Mitchel Por-
ter who had refused to assist him
under arrest.
In the corporation court each of
the two defendants was fined $5.

THIS DRUNK ONE SHE
COULDN’T REMEMBER
Court Splits the Fine for Mrs.
Bolton and Says Its
Worth $2.
Mrs. Bolton of portly appearance
and with the defiant look of a Joan of
Arc. faced the corporation court this
morning on a charge of having been
drunk. Mrs. Bolton is a well dressed
white woman who seems to be ac-
quainted with some of the police of-
ficials.
Says the prosecuting attorney:
“Madam you have been charged
with being drunk. Are you guilty or
not?” The defendant promptly re-
plied:
“I don’t remergber a single thing
about it. I suppose from this that I
must have been dntnk. I’ve been
there before.”
The city attorney then asked her it
she had been arrested before and the
answer was with a deprecatory smile:
“Oh yes. But it was some little
time ago. I don’t just remember
when.”
The court deeming this case about
half way between what is termed a
plain drunk and a fancy one fined
her S 2.

FINED TWICE FOR
THE SAME DRUNK
Bibulous Defendant Avers Sec-
ond Offense Was But Con-
tinuation of Old Spree.
J. Smith was arrested night before
last for being found in a drunken con-
dition on the public streets. He was
fined $1 in the corporation court yes-
terday and. after paying It went on
his way. This morning he appeared
in court again on the similar charge
and the court remembering him pre-
pared to deal severely with the case
observing that this was the second
time in two days Mr. Smith had drank
himself drunk.
The defendant however took issue
with the court by declaring that "this
is the same old drunk your honor the
effects of which I have not yet quite
overcome.” on this startling declara-
tion the court Imposed the usual fine
of $l. while the police wonder how
long it will take Mr. Smith to wear off
the effects of his prolonged bibulous
condition. .....

fluential met; and promises to be
highely successful.
An attempt to use the movement as
a political issue has been made by
leaders In both parties but this is op-
posed by the commercial and agricul-
tural interests directly interested.
It is estimated that there has been
a loss in value of at teast one-fifth of
11000000000 of farm and land value
in the last twenty years and a loss of
population in townships of 50 per cent
in the last three decades.
While New York and other largo
cities of the state are growing at a
rapid rate the country districts of the
Empire state are steadily de-
populated. Farmer boys and girls are
drifting to the cities to seek elusive
fame and fortune or going wrest to
"grow up with the country.” This con-
dition in the opinion of many Influen-
tial men Is a positive menace to the
state and efforts will be made to
bring about a decentralizing move-
ment whereby the country will again
come into its own.

of Sanitary Conditions
Their Slogan.
Special to The Light
St. Louis Mo. Oct. 15. —The pure
food committee of the General Federa-
tion of Women's clubs of which Mrs.
Walter McNab Miller of Missouri is
chairman has issued a special circular
of information for the guidance of
committees having pure food matters
In charge. It is proposed to concen-
trate all efforts for the next two
years on the improvement of the milk
supply and the reform of sanitary con-
ditions in markets and provisions
stores. It is recommended that clubs
appoint an Investigating committee as
the first step with instructions to re-
port within a specified time.
Co-operation with existing agencies
such as local and state boards of
health Is recommended to be followed
by expert assistance in making inspec-
tions and reports. Where no board of
health exists data are to be obtained
which are to be submitted to city au-
thorities asking for the appointment
of an officer and suitable laws of en-
forcement. Mrs. Miller will furnish
copies of the Portland clean list re-
quirements which form a basis for the
organization of a "white list” of mar-
ket dealers who respond to suggestion
made for the cleanly handling and
storage of good supplies.

SAN ANTONIO MIGHT
HAVE HAD G.A. R. MEET
Dr. Whitaker Says There Was
No Incentive to Work
For It.
"San Antonio might easily have cap-
tured the next annual encampment of

Dr. L. L. Whitaker of this city com-
mander of tfie department of Texas
who has just returned from attending
the national encampment at Saratoga.
New York. "But" continued the doc-
tor "I had no encouragement to work
for this city as the next convention
place consequently did not land it”
Dr. an* Mrs. Whitaker upon their
return to San Antonio were met at the
depot by a number of friends and
given a warm welcome back home.
Only One "BROMO QUININE” that Is
Cures a Cold in One Day Crip in 2 Days js c
The doctor says the encampment was
well attended considering the bad
weather. Gn the day of the parade
It rained incessantly and scores of the
veterans unable to stand the long
march in the rain folded their flags
and sought shelter. The Texas dele-
gation numbered 14. but its appear-
ance elicited frequent cheers as its
members passed along the crowded
streets of Saratoga.
Doctor Whitaker also attended a re-
union of the Seventy-eighth and othei
regiments at McConnellsville. Ohia.
He made a speech which McConnells-
ville papers highly praised. While in
Ohio the doctor visited his brothers
’ whom he had not seen for 50 years.
Four survive the oldest being 84 and
the youngest 70. The doctor is 72.
Citing evidence that he comes of a
long-lived family the doctor says his
father died at 80 and bis mother at
90 while two sisters and three broth-
ers who have passed to the Great
Beyond died after they had reached
four score and more.
The trip was somewhat marred by
the fact that Mrs. Whitaker was ill
a portion of the time a fact which the
many friends of the family in this
city will learn with regret.
RICE YIELD THIS
YEAR NOT LARGE
Crowley La. Oct. 15. —Delancey
Evens rice crop expert of the United
States department of agriculture was
in Crowley gathering information
about the 1907 rice crop. Asked for
his opinion as to the size and quality
of the crop. Mr. Evens said:
“It is not out of the way however
to say it is generally agreed that the
crop Is not a large one.
"Unquestionably the bad weather of
the past fortnight has hurt the qual-
ity throughout the entire rice bejt. To
what extent quality has been injured
depends on a number of elements in
the situation |hat canaot at this time
be accurately determined.
"In a general way the outlook in the
rice belt is good. There is no reason-
able doubt that the supply is going to
be well within the demand and that
means that prices will be satlsfac-
