TO THE CHARGE OF PEDDLING WITHOUT A LICENSE

11 COUNTS SQUASHED

And He Acknowledged Guilt in One He Was Fined Fifty Dollars and Costs.

The case against Clarence E. Kiplinger, which was to have come up before the mayor this morning, did not come up. Mr. Kiplinger was charged with violating a city ordinance, by peddling certain articles about the city without a license. A compromise was effected and Mr. Kiplinger pleaded guilty to one of the charges and the other eleven were squashed. The case came up before Judge Fox in Circuit Court this morning. The Judge fined Mr. Kiplinger $o0 and costs. Mr. Kiplinger was guilty of violating the law in several instances, but on the recommendation of the Merchants' Association, he was permitted to plead guilty in the one case and i!ie others withdrawn. It was not the intention of the Merchants' Association to persecute fir. Kiplinger, but to compel him to comply Avith the ordinance and State laws. Our merchants pay their taxes annually to do business here in Richmond and when outsiders come heie to sell goods on our streets or any

where else they must pay a license or tax. It is the intention of the Merchants' Association to proeooute all such cases regardless of who the person is or what they sell. This is nothing but right for the merchants of Richmond to represent the majority of the people of Richmond in a sense and pay the majority of the taxes on personal property. Had the Merchants' Association prosecuted all the cases against Mr. Kipli t r it would have cost him several huudred dollars in fines but as is is it cost him less than one hundred dollars.

ON "HABAKUK" AT MEETING OF BIBLE INSTITUTE

OPEN PARLIAMENT

On Pastoral Question Led by Allen fay - A Good Attendance Institute Notes.

Wednesday Afternoon. " The session of the Bible Institute at 2 p. m. was opened by singing "Come Thou Almighty king," led by Leona Bogue, of Fairmount, Ind., with Flora E. Harlan, of Burlington, O., at the piano. Then Enos Harvey led the meeting in prayer. After another song, Murray S. Kenworthy gave a lesson on Habakuk. The prophecy of Habakuk is a voice from the unknown. Nothing is known of the man. He was probably a contemporary of Jeremiah, and an admirer of Isaiah. The problem of Habakuk is the problem of sin and its punishment. The prophet did not understand the solution of the problem. First he looks to the nations around them for God's agents in dealing out punishment. Habakuk could not understand why God should use a wicked nation to work out His will. In his vision, the prophet gets God's answer to his problem. Chaldean pride and her unmeasured rage and (Continued on fifth page.)

Muncie is after the railroad shops of the C, C. & L., saying that the shops at Peru are only temporary machine shops, and that the real shops of the road have not been constructed. The sentiment locally is much against the removal of the shops to Muncie, probably because Richmond, Muncie 's enemy, was beaten out of the- shops at the time of the voting of -railroad subsidies. It is more than probable, however, that the shops will be removed from Peru, a littl town, to one larger place, where the C, H. & D. haseasy access. o The big railroad officials who have

The Project Reports Still That the United States Express Company Will Get C, C. & L. Road.

The work on the erction of the freight depot, which the C, C. & L. will erect in the southern part of the city, probably near the new canning factory, is expected to be begun before winter. The road officials, when they went through here on their tour of inspection of the entire system, looked over the ground, and seemed inclined favorably toward the project of the erection of a new depot there. That it is greatly needed there is no doubt, and when the new factories in the south end grow larger and get in running order, a freight depot will become an imperative necessity. The

Richmond people are pleased over the outlook for almost through travel from Richmond to Buffalo, N. Y, over the new Pere Marquette line and the C C. & L. Despite denials on the part of some of the local authorities, the report still continues that the C, C. & L. will get the United States Express for use on its lines, and that the Pacific Express will have to operate on other lines. "The United States Expi-ess is in force on the C, II. & D. and the Pere Marquette," said a railroad official yesterday, "and I think that it will be installed on the C, C. & L. also. At least I see no reason why it should not, as: the other two lines of the C,

Superintendent Gormon wrote a letter to the parents of the wayward girl, May Malone, of Connersville, telling them of her presence here and asking for particulars regarding her. Mr. Gormon received the following reply to his letter this morning: Conersville, Ind., July 27. Superintendent Gormon : Dear Sir I understand our girl is at your place. It is not worth while for us to bring her home any more. This is the trid time she has run off. I would like to know if she has got a

good place and does right. She knows how-to do all kinds of house work. I think if she was with a good family she would be willing to stay." If she does not do what is right I want her sent to the house of correction. If she will do what is right and stay we well send her clothes to her. Please write and tell us where she is. G. E. MALONE. Along with the letter to the superintendent was a note to the girl from her mother, asking her to do right, etc.

STILL CRITICAL

Is the Condition of Mrs. Roll Cole at

Eaton. Mrs. Roll Cole, who was frightfully burned last Tuesday morning at Eaton, is still in a critical condition. In speaking of the affair the Eaton Register says: She was baking bread and as the fire in the stove had apparently gone out she took the can and poured ftniwls to rekindle it. In an instant the can explod. from the ignited oil and Mrs. ColeV clothing was covered with the burning fluid. Frightened almost to death, she ran to her next door neighbor's, where the flames were extinguished

with water. The right side of her body, fro mthe hip upwards, is horribly burned, as is also her arm and hand, until the flesh is almost ready to drop from the bones.
