NATIONAL TREASURER OF ANCIENT ORDER OF HIBERNIANS

ST. LOUIS CONVENTION. There Was a Warm Contest for PresidentJames E. Dolan Re-elected Next Meeting. St, Louis, July 25. James E.Dolan of Syracuse, N. Y., was re-elected president of the international organization of the Ancient Order of Hibernians at a session of the convention in usic Hall, which began at 9 o'clock Saturday morning and ended at 9:30 that night. No recess was taken during the twelve and a half hours. There, was no fight made upon Mr. Dolan personally. His supporters contended that the remarkable growth of the organization since he became its head should count for much in favor of continuing his administration of affairs. It was admitted by the opposition 4 that he had proven himself a man of remarkable executive ability, but, it was urged, the best interests of the order would be to follow out precedent and put a new man at the helm. Rev. Father John E. Kennedy, of New Taven, Conn., was the man upon whom the Dolan opposition centered. Dolan beat him out by twenty votes, in whta is said to have been the most exciting test ever witnessed at an international convention of the Hibernians. The proceedings were all in executive session. It is stated that there were many speeches made on both sides. It is further asserted that New York divided, its vote betweeii the candidates. Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and "West Virginia, with big delegations, lined up solidly for Dolan. Minnesota, New Jersey and the District of Columbia were solid for Father Kennedy, who also received the majority of Pennsylvania's votes. James O'Sullivan, for vice president, was opposed by James Ragan, of Minnesota, but won out by a majority. This contest, too, was a hard-fought one, O'Sullivan was on what was known as the Dolan ticket. James P. Bree, of New Haven, Conn., did not run for re-election. James P. Carroll, of Columbus, Ohio, beat out Richard McGinn, of New .Jersey, and P. F. Cannon, of Massachusetts for this position. Caroll was another man on the Dolan slate. M. J. O'Brien, of Richmond, Ind., was re-elected treasurer. The following were the four directors chosen: John P. Keating, Chicago; I). J. Hennessey, Butte, Mont.; George T. Butler, Louisville, Ky., and P. F. Carroll, Grand Rapids, Mich. Directorate Meets Today. The four international officers and the four directors constitute the directorate, which will meet at the Lindell hotel this afternoon to choose the editor of the organization's official paper and to transact other business. The matter of establishing a national home was left to the local bodies for reports to the next meeting. The insurance features were left practically to the State organizations, inasmuch as the proposition looking to a national insurance policy was not adopted, nor was it defeated by a direct vote. It was left for the next convention to deal with. The next convention will be held at Saratoga Springs, N, Y., beginning the" third Tuesday in July, 1906. Saratoga beat New York city out by a close vote. The convention adjourned sine die with the singing of "God Save Ireland," led by P. F. Farrell, of Grand Rapids, Mich. WAR NEWS. Tokio, July 25.

Scheme is Approved. Indianapolis, Ind., July 25. James B. Wilson, of Bloomington, wrote a letter to State Superintendent Cot ton in regard to the Schafer murder. Mr. Wilson is judge of the circuit court comprising the counties of Monroe and Lawrence, and presided at the trial of James McDonald on the charge of murdering Sarah Schafer, the Bedford high school teacher. He said he would be very glad if the teachers of the State should collect a fund to assist in bringing the murderer to iustice. He said that the collection of the fund could not be regarded as a reflection on those who have had the investigation in charge. Mr. Cotton immediately wrote to County Superintendent Stipp, of Lawrence county who began the movement for the collection of the fund, saying that the collection of the money would not be opposed officially by the State Department of public in struction. Mr. Cotton will be in Bedford next week on other business and will confer with County Superintendent Stipp about the raising of the fund, after which he may give his official approval. The State Department of public instruction will not attempt to dictate the plans for the raising of the fund, for Mr. Cotton believes, that, as Mr. Stipp originated the movement, the details should be arranged by the Law rence county school teachers. HARLEY GIPE Practically Admitted the Theft of a Watch. Newcastle, Ind., July 25. The chances are that Haley Gipe, who is in jail in connection with the Starbuck tragedy, will have to spend a term in prison. Evidence is accumulating to the effect that he had been guilty of petit larceny and. the officers say he has practically admitted the theft of the watch found in an Indianapolis pawn shop, the property of t Shirley woman.

APPROVED

SEVERAL HUNDRED PEOPLE AT

TENDED THE CONCERTS SELECTIONS WERE FINE And Were Played Excellently Many People Spent the Day at Jackson and the Glen. Phinney's band proved itself to be by far the best of the series of entertainments now being given at Jackson Park by the Richmond Street, and Interurban company. The band gave four concerts, Saturday and Sunday afternoon and evening. The attendance Saturday was only fair, not nearly as large as it should have been in comparison with the excellence of the band. The pavilion was not near filled, and hardly one hundred people - attended both concerts Saturday, although the even ing one drew larger than the concert in the afternoon. But yesterday 1,200 or 2,000 people were present. The half hour service, a great accommodation to the people and which was greatly appreciated, enabled people to go to hear the concert at almost any time that they desired to do so. The cars, from 12 o'clock until 3 and 4, were literally packed with many persons who wanted a cool place to spend the afternoon and at the same time listen to one of the best bands in the country. The evening concert was also especially well attended, thegrounds being full of delighted listeners to this noted band. As to the rendition of the selections nothing can be said that would give too much praise to the performers. The selections were of a high class, yet not too high for popular appreciation and enjoyment. The operas, marches, and other selections were given with a spirit, a dash that took the hearers at once. Phinney's band scored a popular triumph after the first number on the program had been played. Not even the Haskell Indians made as great a hit as the red-coated musicians of Phinney's band. Frederick. Phinney, the noted leader, also scored a hit. His work was especially fine. The program was the same as was given in the Palladium last week. Besides the band concerts, several picnics drew numbers to Jackson Park and many took supper in the cool shade of the trees. The Glen Miller Park was also well patronized yesterday by picnickers and the lake was dotted with boats all afternoon long. The pavilion did a rushing business and the clerks were kept busy all the day. Numbers of picnic parties were given. The Hawkins Swimming Pool was filled with boys and men seeking to escape the heat of the day in the water. A Spiceland Man and Woman Among the Absent Ones. Newcastle, Ind., July 25. John F. Williams, a well known and wealthy farmer living near Spiceland, is missing, and there is mystery concerning his disappearance. Wrilliams left home a week ago last Wednesday, presumably to visit relatives at Ingalls, Ind. Later when a relative in this county died and he was sent for it was learned that he had not arrived at Ingalls. Investigation reveals that Williams raised what money he could, said to be about $3,000, and took it along with him. About the same time Hattie Leonard disappeared from her home. The (woman formerly worked in the Wil Hams household, and it is claimed was the cause of several domestic jars in the family. She was married, but was recently 'divorced from her husband.

ANOTHER

MISSING

"991H REFUSED TO WORK AT ALL-LOCAL RACERS QUIT

ALMOST A RIOT Ensued When, After Pour Hours of Waiting in Vain, the Crowd did not Get its Money Back. As a real out and out frost, a fraud, a delusion and a snare, the automobile race meet at the Driving Park Saturdav afternoon (or eveniner) was a gem of the first water. A riot, small but warm, was avert ed but narrowly when, after waiting four hours or more in the "hot sun for a few glimpses of "999" at work, the crowd was not only deprived of this, but when it asked for its money hnk. this also was refused. Then the hotheads got in their work, and talked and argued, and made vain and futile threats. The race meet, and "999 V special stunt - of a mile in a minute, was scheduled to come off at 4 :30 prompt. By three o'clock there were several hundred people on the ground, in the hope f seeing some of the preliminary-practice of the racers. Four thirty came and went and no autos on the grounds even. About 5 o'clock about ten of the local machines chuggod in, and these were followed by the redoubtable "999" itself, which by the way looks like anything but an auto, being low, heavy and with an enromous engine, which was pulled out behind a wagon, its great speed preventing it from being run over a country road. But "999" refused to work (or the driver, a young fellow who did not show much familiarity with the machine was afraid to run it). With crowds of people standing around and rapidly losing all their patience, the driver and his assistants, voluntary and involuntary, tinkered around the machine until about half nast. five. At this time Fred Wilke, driving a Rambler stripped ot all woodwork for racing, appeared but one of his cylinders refused to work, and this practically knocked him out, although he did go around the track several times in good form and with some show of speed. The tinkering with "999" still continued and as the patience of the crowd had by this time all oozed out, Will Vaughn, Clarence Gennett and Omar Murray gave a few exhibitions of how they would run a mile. Vaughn and Gennett, es pecially, made excellent time. As it was past the dinner hour for most now, and as "999" showed still no symptoms of working, the complaints arose with great force and frequency. When half past seven rolled around, and the big car refused to work still, the audience, grown to large proportions, was ready to quit and asked of course. for its money back. The charges of admission had been outrageous, but several had paid them and did not feel inclined either in purse or spirit to be beaten out of fifty cents or a dollar. Then it was discovered that the man with the money had decamped. Bedlam almost broke loose, and several harangued their hearers on the sin of being allowed to cheat and voted to attach the machine or do anything. After several minutes had passed and no money was forthcoming, the crowd broke for the eigh o'clock street car in a no very amiable frame of mind. It was a downright shame for the management to charge such prices, and then refuse to refund them when nothing was done in the way of entertainment. Attachments qf over one hundred dollars have been filed on the machine ,for printing, repairing, etc., and it is probable that no one will get his monev back out of the affair. AUTOMOBILE "9d9". Henry Wilke, the Main street dealer in automobiles, wishes it understood that he had no connection with the automobile races that were announced for the Driving Park Saturday afternoon. Walter Wilke had agreed to enter a machine in one of

the contests, but that was for his own pleasure and not for any financial return. The "999" machine driven by Newkirk was placed at Wilke 's simply as a matter of exhibition and storing and not because the firm had any financial interest in the race proposition. Mr. Wilke is desirous of correcting any false impressions that may have gone abroad. Mr. Newkirk, driver of "999," makes the following statement : "This is to certify that Henry Wilke is not interested financially, directly or indirectly in the auto exhibition at Richmond Driving Park, given by William H. Pickens. "JED NEWKIRK, Driver of '999' "

SATURDAY'S GAME. A game of baseball was played on the Earlham grounds Saturday afternoon between the Easthaven boys and the Hoosier Drill Works team. The score was 6 to 2 in favor of Easthaven.

THE ATTITUDE OF THE MED TO THE CHRIST THE THEME OP THE SERMON DR. MADISON SWADENER At the First Methodist Episcopal Church A Large Audience Heard the Pastor. The First M. E. church was well filled last night to hear Dr. Swadener on the theme announced for these services. In his usual pleasing way, the pastor discussed the attitude of the world to the Christ. He included all classes of people beginning with the Jews. He quoted from John's Gospel, where it says: He came unto His own and they received Him not. Although a prince, they treated His coming with indifference. The minister then recalled the coming of the Prince of Wales, years ago, and the visit of Prince Henry of Prussia, only a few years since. lie did not forget the gentleman from the Celestial Em- j pire, who created such a commotion in our capital city a few weeks ago. The Christ was Prince and King, but had not where to lay his head. He is today the Savior of the world and is treated with callous indifference by the human race. This, of course, is a general statement and does not include every individual. The minister, however, did make a specific statement when he said that if strangers came to Richmond with a "coach and four" the people would run over one another to meet them and welcome them without asking who they are or whence they came. They not only welcome them but immediately install them among the "four hundred." These same people have no place for the Christ. Dr. Swadener called particular attention to the "Sermon on the Mount" and said that if people would follow its teachings, there would be no war, no strikes, no acquisition of wealth by dishonest means He said that he believed in arbitration and paid a tribute to Andrew Carnegie for donating a million and half dollars for a temple of justice. Tn mentioning the various institutions that ought to have more of the Christ in their affairs, he did not omit even the church that ought to be filled with the spirit of the Master and his teachings. The close attention given the minister indicated that what he said was highly appreciated by his hearers. 1

The Elks parade Saturday night was enjoyed by the large and enthusiastic crowd assembled along the line of march and encouraged the boys by long and loud cheering. There were about 200 Elks in line and about eighty-five diessed as Quakers. Richmond people had little idea of the uniqueness of the costume until they saw it Saturday night and now that they have seen it they are not in the least surprised that the $500 was awarded to Richmond. The parade went over the line of march outlined by the Palladium last Friday and all along the route there was a generous display of pyrotechnics, and the business men and residents along Main street showed a commendable spirit by the splendid displaj- of fire works. The parade was led by the city band and it discoursed some of the very best music. Elks in regular suits followed the band, then came Demas S. Coe, who represented Wm. Penn, by leading his part of the parade. After the march was ended the assemblage ended on south fourth street where a liberal display of fire works was witnessed. The clock on the bank building corner seventh, and Main had a red face! and hands pointed" to the Elks' hour for remembering absent brothers 11.
