RICHARD T. BANG. Prominent In the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity. the polls in five minutes if they did not subBide and give the voters a chance to get to the window. "Jim" Berry had charge of the Parker forces in this ward. Over in the Twelfth, where the greatest trouble had been anticipated, the scene was fairly tranquil up until 6 o'clock. John Scanlon marshaled the Hearst forces there and claimfd to be carrying things his own way, but the organization workers showed they were casting three votes to one for the Hearst slate. The Hearst people had made some claims of what they would do in the Sixth, but they failed to make good, owing, they declared, to the Intervention of Providence. They said that a man named Mllner. who had their supply of tickets for that ward, was run over by a street car on his way to the polls and all the tickets wre lost. In any event they did not have any tickets, and such Hearst votes as were cast were ones that were written with pencil or pen on slips of paper. The Parker people claimed when the polls were closed that not over twenty-five or thirty Hearst votes had been cast out of a total of over 500. ISSUE CLEARLY DRAWN. Where contests were made the Lssue wa3 clearly drawn between Farker and Hearst. The tickets that had been prepared by the organization forces of which Thomas Taggart is the commander-in-chief were handed out as Parker slates, while the other tickets were called the Hearst slates. In the Tenth ward the Hearst people headed their ticket with the line, "Anti-snap Delegates." In this ward also the Hearst people attempted a coup by placing the names of two of the candidates for delegates on the Parker elate on their slate John Baxmfuhrer and John Curran. Both Barmfuhrer and Curran declared they had not authorized the placing of their names oc the Ileflist elate and that they were Parker men. Former City Clerk John Geckler headed the Hearst slate in this ward and handled a large force of lieutenants. It wa3 noticeable In three or tour ward3 that the Hearst forces had more active workers than they mustered voters, as several of their workers were Imported and could not vote. Scores of men were busy all over the city distributing copies of Hearst's Chicago American to all who came near the voting places. The papers were carted about over the city in carriages and express wagons and were scattered broadcast by the thousand. The feature in tho paper to which the distributors called attention was a story on the front page, under a flaring headline, in which an attempt was made to show that Hearst had won a remarkable victory In Kansas and that the Kansas delegation to the national convention would be solid for him. HEARST MONEY PLENTIFUL. That the Hearst workers had an abundance of money was shown by the number of carriages and wagons with which they were supplied to haul voters to the polls, by the unprecedented business done by the saloons In the vicinity of the polls, and by the "not how much are we offering, but how much do you want" manner they went after votes. The organization crowd claimed they had good evidence that the Hearst people put out not less than $3,500 in the various wards Wednesday night and Thursday. They added, with expressions of snug satisfaction, that Hearst got little returns from a large part of this sum. as their own men had been instructed to take the Hearst money and spend it "among1 the boys" or keep it, as they saw fit. The Parker people were by no means poverty-stricken and destitute of the sinews of war. They had plenty of means to provide transportation facilities for the voters, and they also contributed generously to the receipts of the saloons. NAMES OF DELEGATES. The names of the delegates elected as reported by the Democratic county committee last night are as follows: First Ward E. T. Lyons. J. L. Ilalcött. E. M. Oobel, Charles Murphy, C. C. Lutz, V. C.

Holtzman and Charles Polster, the recently dethroned boss of the Sixth ward, did not draw the line at "snap primaries" and refuse to vote yesterdaytt Both put in an appearance at the Sixth ward voting place, both voted for the Parker slate, according to reliable information." ar.d thus contributed to the overwhelming l'arkT majority in the old "bloody Sixth." The Sixth, by the way, is T. Taggart's ward and the boss took no little satisfaction In the fact that there were but twentwo Hearst votes polled there. Smoker Held at Connemvllle.

All EUJOYABLE BANQUET CLOSES JTHEC 0 H V EHT 1 0 H Three Hundred Phi Psis Sing Songs and Give College Yells at Biennial Dinner.

OVATIONS FOR GUESTS George Bramwell Baker New President of Fraternity Washington Next Meeting Place. The climax of the Twenty-third Grand Arch Council of the Phi Kappa Psl fraternity, held at the Claypool Hotel, and the most successful in the fraternity's history, came last night at the banquet, to which nearly 300 Thi Psis, from young college men to gray-haired alumni, sat down In the assembly hall of the Claypool. The banquet followed a day of . important business, chief of which was the election of the fraternity's officers for the ensuin? two years. George Bramwell Baker, a well-known Indiana man, formerly of Warsaw, Ind., and a graduate of De Fauw University, but now of Boston, was elected president; the Rev. W. E. Alexander, of Washington, D. C, vice president; Orra E. Monnette, of Toledo, secretary, for the fourth term, and L. M. McCoy, of Chicago, treasurer. Last night's banquet was served at three long tables, extending the length of the assembly hall, and a fourth shorter table at their head. The sumptuous menu included twelve courses and took from, ! o'clock to nearly 12 o'clock in the serving. So much greater than tho expectations was the attendance that a number of local and Indiana Phi Psis relinquished their seats at the banquet board for the accommodation of visiting brothers, and enjoyed an impromptu "overflow banquet" In the Claypool cafe, returning to the assembly hall in time for the programme of toasts that followed the menu. MEMORY WILL LIVE LONG. With the assembly room decorated with the banners and pennants of all tho colleges and universities represented at the board, and with the Phi Psi colors of pink and lavender, and with the memory of the successful dance of the evening before fresh in the minds of the Greeks assembled in the hall for a second but different occasion, an evening was enjoyed that will linger long in the minds of all who participated. From the moment of entry until the last guest reluctantly left the hall in the early hours of the morning, the beautiful room resounded with the yells and song3 of the institutions represented by from, two to several dozen Phi Psis with Phi Psi songs and yells, and with cheers for the popular and prominent members of the fraternity present. It was an occasion to make the oldest heart young again, and many an elderly alumni, yielding to the enthusiasm of the occasion, sang and cheered until his voice was husky and his noise-making ability taxed to the full. Songs and yells were to be heard at all times, between courses and in the midst of their serving, and to this part of the programme almost more attention seemed to be paid by some than to the menu. Jn the balcony of the assembly hall a number of women and young girls were seated throughout the entire evening, enJoying from that distance an occasion that for its novelty and its spectacular features could scarcely be surpassed. The long lines of table seen from above made a beautiful picture, and the enthusiasm and good cheer that were present in overflowing exuberance made the interest of the. event unflagging. At times the babel of songs and cheers was such as only college men can make, representatives of half a dozen colleges attempting at times tomake themselves heard above .e friendly rivalry of noise that shook the walls of the hall. An orchestra, seated behind a screen of palms on the rostrum, played fraternity and popular airs, and at times the banqueters Joined in with song and cheer and the clinking of glasses. The playing of "Dixie" brought half the men in the room to their feet, with white napkins waving in the air. the Southerners leading in the demonstration, but followed closely by their Northern brothers. EXTRA ON HAND. At 12 o'clock, after coffee and cigars, an unwonted disturbance was created in. the hall by the appearance of newsboys crying ."Extra! the Midnight Shield!" Thereupon each guest was given a copy of a remarkable newspaper, the like of which had never before been seen, and copies of which, it is safe to say, will be treasured by many for years. It was a clever burlesque on "yellow sheets" of the day. and purported to contain bits of startling Information about Phi Psis in general, and the G. A. C. in particular. The front page of the paper contained in glaring headlines the news of the "Midnight Shield's" victory over the forces or corporate greed in the election of Mr. Raker to the presidency of the fraternity. The plan was conceived and carried out by local newspaper men who are members of the fraternity and by George B. Lockwood, secretary to Governor Durbin. who is the editor of "The Shield," the monthly magazine of Fhi Kappa Psl. John L. Griffiths, of this city, was the symposiareh of the programme of toasts that lasted until the small hours of the morning. His p-efatory remarks and those introducing eac. speaker were in his wellknown forceful and eloquent stylo, and the programme of toasts was one seldom surpassed in this city. OVATION FOR RILEY. Ferhaps the greatest ovation of the evening was that given to James Whitcomb Riley, claimed by Phi Psis as their poet as well as "The Hoosier Poet," who recited his own poem, "Nothln More Patheticker Than Just a Bein Rich." At the announcement of hie name the men In the hall rose to their feet and stood upon chairs, cheering and waving napkins, and It was some moments before the din had subsided so that Mr. Riley could begin. Other speakers of the evening were Walter Holden, of Michigan Alpha, who talked on "The Sense of Nonsense;" Edward Klbler. of Ohio Gamma, whose subject was "The G. A. C. Habit;" Ernest H. Allen, of Nebraska Alpha, with a beautiful tribute to "The Shield," the fraternity's emblem and badge; James R. Williams, of Indiana Ueta, member of the national legislature from the Twenty-fourth Illinois congressional, district, whose theme was "Politics," and Dr. Edwin A. Schell, the widely known Methodist clergyman of Indiana, who concluded the programme with an eloquent toast to the general fraternity, "Phi Kappa Fsl " PRESENTED WITH PINS. During the course of the evening E. Lawrence Fell, of Philadelphia, the retiring president of the fraternity, and C. F. M. Niles, of Toledo, the rtiring treasurer, who had Just completed four years service as that official of the fraternity, were presented with beautifully Jewelled Phi Psi pins, set with diamons. as emblems of the fraternity's affection and gratitude for services rendered It. Both Mr. Lawrence and Mr. Fell responded feelingly, thanking the fraternity for Its gratitude and love and the manner of its expression. Telegrams wore read at the banquet sending greeting from James E. Watson, the Phi Psl Indiana congressman, and from the San Francisco, Denver and other Alumni Associations of Phi 181. To-day will see all of the delegates to the Grand Arch Council on their homeward Journeys, reaching to all parts of the country, from California to New England. On all hnnds the opinion has been expressed that the G. A. C. Just passed was the most successful and the most encouraging ever held by the fraternity, and the Indianapolis and Indiana Phi Pslts, who have been largely responsible for that happy result, are correspondingly gratified. The fraternity will next meet in biennial general session In Washington, D. C, in April, l:06. IMPORTANT BUSINESS SESSION. A well-known Hoosier, George Brarnwell Baker, formerly of Warsaw, Ind., was elected president of the Phi Kappa Psl fraternity at the business session yesterday afternoon. Although Mr. Baker recently mov?d to Boston, the Indiana alumni

Newly Elected President of -Fhi Psi Fraternity. regard him as their own, since he went to De Pauw University, and feel extremely proud of his election. The other officers elected are: R. W. Alexander, Washington, D. C, vice president; Ora E. Monnette, Bucyrus, O., secretary; Lincoln M. Corey, Chicago, treasurer. Several Important matters were considered and action was taken upon them. In the first place it was decided to hold the next biennial convention at Washington D. C. After a spirited debate it was decided, regarding the extension policy, that it was in the interests of tho society to institute a chapter at the University of Illinois, but that nothing should be done concerning founding one at the University of Texas till a committee had looked the ground over and made a report thereon. Elaborate resolutions were passed in thanks to the Indiana Alumni Association for the glorious time they gave their brothers, and a special vote of thanks was offered to the presiding officer, Frank L. Littleton. Quite a controversy took place when the question of changing the colors was brought up. It was argued that it was a presumed difficulty to get a heraldic treatment of two such delicate colors as lavender and pink. The motion to change the colors was defeated, and a committee was appointed to select an appropriate coat of arms and a pennant. The committee on song books was asked to see to the publishing of 2.0 more books, and the catalogue committee .was given charge of the preparation of a new catalogs giving a complete record of all initiates. It was also decided that the official badge of Phi Kappa Psi could only be worn on a ring, a scarf pin or on the regular pin. The reason for this decision was that tho wearing of fraternity emblems is becoming too genera) and this tends to destroy their sacredness.' T, P, A.'S ANNUAL BALL PROVES A BIG SUCCESS German House Ballroom Beautifully Decorated for the Occasion. Twigs of apple and peach blossoms entwined about the posts, and masses of blue and white bunting covering the walls, lent a most beautiful and novel charm to the ballroom of the German House on the occasion of the annual ball of the Travelers' Protective Association, Post B, given last night. From early evening until late at night there was dancing, and when the music for the last waltz began the merrymakers -seemed so alive with enjoyment and good humor that they could have danced on till daybreak. Although several of the members were unable to be present, and the guest of honor, Mayor Holtzman, was kept away by the Democratic primaries, it was a fine gathering, and the association has every reason to congratulate itself. The grand march was led by the president. P. J. O'Meara. Belser's Orchestra furnished the music, and light refreshments were served. Thomas E. Potter was chairman of the arrangement committee, which consisted of Robert Mills. S. J. Bolen. Bert Cox and Elmer M. Eckhouse. The floor committee was composed of the following: Thomas E. Potter, chairman; H. King. Alexander Davidson, P. J. O'Meara, II. T. Hearsey, P. B. Trone, Robert Mills, Bert Cox, Elmer M. Eckhouse, S. J. Bolen and C. W. Wells. CITY NEIVS NOTES. ' The Broadway M.

The court has held that the land owner must allow a reasonable time for putting down a well after the exact time for which rent has been paid has expired, and that the lease Is not usually terminated by the mere nonacceptance of rent because of . the delay In boring well.

POLICE SAVEO ELIJAH II FROM M0BI1I AUSTRALIA Details of the Rioting in Melbourne Are Given in Island Newspaper. CAT CALLS START ROW

Dowie Declares Disturbers Are Criminals and then Escapes Through Back Door. CHICAGO, April S. John Alexander Dowie's turbulent experiences in Australia are described in the Melbourne Argus, recent copies of which have reached Chicago. The report of his meeting in the exposition buildiug Sunday afternoon, Feb. 2S, shows the scene became one of mob disorder. Rioting started when he denounced the disturbers in the gathering as ''criminals," and scolded the rest of the audience of more than 7,OjO for allowing disorder. Mrs. Dowie, when she attempted to read the Scripture lesson, was given an unfavorable reception. Dowie and his party escaped from the crowd under the protection of police. Zion City overseer was forced to abandon further meetings in the exposition building. This is how the Australian newspaper tells it: "When Dowie and his party appeared on the platform the effect was theatrical. The first two were in semi-military costume. Then came Mrs. Dowie, in a clerical dress of white, with a black surplice garment, and the Rev. Mr. Dowie. Dr. Gladstone Dowie's vestments were in black silk and velvet with deep purple velvet collar. "The announcement that Mrs. Dowie wouid read the first lesson produced a cat call. " 'The officers will see to that in the far corner,' cried Mr. Dowie. "Mrs. Dowie then began to read the lesson in a voice that could not be heard at the back. There was a slight interruption under the dome, and promptly Mr. Dowie stopped the lesson. I have never seen Mrs. Dowie subjected to such insolent treatment," he said; and a man cried 'Hear, hear,' while another laughed. "During the scripture j reading Mrs. Dowie frequently was interrupted, according to the newspaper account, and Dowie would Jump to his feet and remonstrate. "Mr. Dowie announced as his text: 'This is Blijah, which Is to come. He that hath ears to hear let him hear.' There were a few cat calls as the speaker proceeded. "Then Mr. Dowie, in excited tones, cried: 'It is surprising that decent and respectable citizens will trouble about these people. This is a small band not of citizens but of criminals, whom the police are able to deal with. The small band who are making this disturbance are criminals and unworthy of citizenship.' "Immediately there was an uproar. The opprobrious term brought protesting calls from different parts of the audience, and from this time the meeting was out of hand. The police were powerless and in the uproar seme one struck up the tuue 'John Brown. "John the Baptist did his work," called the preacher, and the interrupters sang back 'John Brown's knapsack was number 99 . " I have many addresses to make before I reach home again and I do not propose to destroy my voice speaking against that band of criminals.' cried Mr. Dowie finally as he called on those present to close the proceedings with the Doxology. "After this he and his party left the stage and went to the rooms under the organ to await the dispersal of the crowd. Several thousands waited In the seats. Suddenly an usher rushed up to a constable with the word that lifteen police were wanted at the back door. Dowie and his party had escaped in four cabs. "Outside of the gates a large crowd remained, and in fifteen minutes It had Increased to several thousands. "Between 7 and 7:30 o'clock from 1.500 to 2.000 persons were waiting around the entrances. A young man was distributing little' parcels of tomatoes in particularly ripe condition." STOCKHOLDERS SUE TO RECOVER $106,000 Bank Officers and Directors Accused of Gross Neglect of Their Business. STEUBEXVILI-E, O.. April 8. Suit to recover $106,000 was filed to-day by stockholders of the defunct First National Bank of Mt. Pleasant against tho officers and directors individually.

PASSIOII PIM Revive the Tragedy of Golgotha Amid Scenes of Mourning and Grief. BIER IS A CATHEDRAL ST. PETERSBURG. April 8. One hundred million of the Emperor's subjects today revived the tragody of Golgotha. The Russian capital seemed filunged in grief. The busy hum of the metropolis was gone. The streets wore deserttnl. All night and morning the church bells tolled mournfully, reminding the 'faithful of the betrayal of Gethsemene, Peter's denial, the trial before Pilate, the burden of the cross and finally the crucifixion. The scourging and mocking of the Savior were impressively reenacted at the Alexander Nevski Cathedral, Antonius, the metropolitan of St. Petersburg, presiding. This afternoon, at St. Isaac's Cathedral, was held the solemn ceremony of commemorating the three hours' agony, accompanied by a beautiful service of song. The interior of the great cathedral presented a wonderful scene when at last a silver cross, on which was painted a picture of Christ crucified, was borne out through the inner, golden gates on the shoulders of the blackgarbed clergy to a magnificent sarcophagus, erected in the center of the church. The vast congregation, consisting of over 10,000 persons, was on its knees, each person holding a. lighted candle. Thrice the officiating bishops and deacons circled the bier and then all the lights were extinguished- and for hours throngs of people passed before the catafalque, most of them sobbing and weeping. Among the Easter honors conferred by the Emperor, which will be announced tomorrow, are forty decorations of persons in the diplomatic service, three of which go to America. Nicholas Lodyginsky, Russian consul general at New York, is made a commander of the Order of St. Vladimir; Albert Schlippenback, consul at Chicago, is made a commander of the Order of St. Anne, and Consul Struwe, at Montreal, a commander of the Order of St. Stanislaus. The order conferred upon Consul General Lodyginsky is a very high one, given only for distinguished services and carrying with it hereditary nobility. RUMOR OF ANOTHER SEA FIGHT BETWEEN RIVAL FLEETS AT PORT ARTHUR (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) tary attache. They informed him that he was not wanted. He returned as far as Seoul and cabled to me. 1 ordered him to return to Manila. He got closer to the field of operations than any one else from this government. "Tho four officers sent to Russia have been stalled ever since at St. Petersburg, and the four sent as attaches of the Japanese army are now gracing the clubs of Tokio. That is probably as near as they will get to the seat of war." RUSSIA HAS MONEY AS WELL AS CONFIDENCE ST. PETERSBURG, April 9.-Regarding the Czar's declination to accept village contributions toward the war, the Novosti says that authoritative communication is thus give"n the fact that Russia has sufficient financial strength to carry on an expensive war which threatens to last for a long time. The paper adds that this is another evidence of the faith which the Czar has In the patriotism of his subjects, and that It is a proof of his wish for their welfare. FRENCH AGENT BUYING SHIPS FOR RUSSIA PARIS, April 9. A St. Petersburg correspondent of the Echo de Paris says that a French agent Is negotiating for the sale of Argentine warships to Russia, which is determined to have a superiority over the Japanese fleet by the end of July. Rnssiun Transportation. BERLIN, April S. The Tageblatt war correspondent. Major Gaedke, writing on a train while ncaring Harbin March 19, said: "Only six trains daily pass east on the railroad to Manchuria and only four thence to Harbin, but these consist of as many as thirty-eight cars. The railroad apparently Is able to meet military demands."The correspondent adds that the Russians will be ready to take the offensive about the middle of this month. AGED MAN GIVES AWAY HIS SAVINGS Clark C. Ridley, of New Bedford, Like Andrew Carnegie, Wants to Die Poor. NEW BEDFORD, Mass.. April S. Clark C. Ridley, eighty-five years old, has become a disciple of Andrew Carnegie, whose determination to die poor meets Mr. Ridley's enthusiastic approval. All his life Rldlty has been a laborer, and his life's savings amounted to about $13,000, wholly invested in eight small houses in New Bedford. He has leeded away three of these houses to acquaintances who had been less fortunate than himself, and his intention is to give away the other live as soon as he can determine who of his friends should have them. The beneficiaries so far arc. Catherine M. Ashley, Mrs. Laura Tripp and Charles G. Allen. The news of his action has spread and the day he made the deeds there was such a throng of people surrounding his home waiting to put in an application for a share of the property that a policeman was required to keep the t'rowd away. Agents of the local charitable societies were oif hand with the rest. Ridley has worked hard all his life, lived in a little cabin partly under ground and hoarded his money. Hp is now spending his - time at the home of Mrs. Tripp. Mr. Ridley advocates his own plan of benevolence as preferable to that of rich philanthropists. "The rich men." he said, "give property to some institution. That is not generally a deed of charity. I have seen the failure of their way of giving and have tried to mend it. If a man has got something to give away he can give it to somebody that will appreciate it, and do somebdy some good." DEATHS OF A DAY. DENVER. Col., April S.

HUNT FOR A DEAD STORY NEW YORK, April S. A correspondent of the New York Herald, by letter from Tokio, thus describes the difficulties surrounding the work of the correspondents in the Japanese capital: "It was 10 o'clock at night and the halfhundred poor, harassed war correspondents who formed the resident portion of the population of the Imperial Hotel had either turned in for a rest well earned by an arduous day at the fool's task of endeavoring to hustle the East, or were lounging in the billiard room watching the steady tramp of some men who were fitting themselves for an all-summer march by hiking around the English billiard table, when Chisel, the telephone boy,' came In with a mysterious message to all concerned. He said that the Navy Department had telephoned that there would be news at the Foreign Office. They give out what they do make public at the Foreign Office apparently on the principle that tha't is the only department which can deal with foreigners. "To the Foreign Office went seven correspondents, but after many vain efforts to make the Japanese servants understand their mission they went to tho Navy Department. There was another long wait. The correspondent with the Russian cap, called the spy, suggested that the low comedian from Chicago oblige with a dance, but by the time the low comedian had uncoiled his seven feet preparatory to responding, the image who took the card3 had returned with a message to call at the residence of the foreign minister. There, after another long wait, they were sent to the Foreign Office again. 4 Vor twenty minutes we were left to conspire by ourselves. Then a man came suddenly and said: 'I think we had better go to a room where there are electric lights.' "We arose and followed him downstairs, through the halls, and into the dark labyrinthian passage of our first encounter. In a far corner the guide stopped and called loudly to unseen persons. Presently there was a scuffling through the passage and a man appeared with a candle. He opened a door and the guide went Into the dark room. The man with the candle fumbled along the wall, finally found the switch, and turned on the electric light. It was u fileroom for old newspapers. There were reading desks scattered about. We sat down and prepared to take notes "The guide sat in the center and spread out a report from which he began to read the news which the Navy Department had telephoned to us to go to the foreign office to get. It was half past 12 o'clock. The man read rapidly for fifteen minutes. It was the report of thp admiral describing the attempt to block the entrance to Port Arthur by sinking merchantmen. It was fine news, and had been cabled twelve hours before. "It was 1 a. m. when we got back to the hotel, but we had called on the Foreign Office and received the news from the Navy Department."
