RICHMOND. INDIANA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEFRUARY 14,

STOCK IS NEARLY ALL DISPOSED OF WORK OF INCORPORATING RICHMOND CHAUTAUQUA PROGRESSING NICELY. CAN STILL USE GLEN MILLER In Order to Get This Privilege Stockholders Specify That There Will Be No Dividends. I The nrehmmarv work of incorpor ating the Richmond Chautauqua is progressing at a satisfactory rate, and the men who are behind the movement hope to have. all the stock disposed of shortly. Several promoters of the scheme are now actively making a canvas .of the business men of the city and they report that the proposition is -meeting with general approval. .-.One, canvaser has disposed of all tlie stock he has offered for sale. . -When it was first decided tp make the Chautauqua a stock company, the question came up before the promoters, as to whether the Chautauqua

as a private enterprise, would have the right to hold a Chautauqua in a public park. To avoid any question in the matter it was decided to incorporate and solicit stock, with the understanding that the stock holders would receive no dividends and that all money cleared would be turned over td the city to go into a special fund for the building of a pavillion at Glen Miller Park, for the use of the Chautauqua and other purposes. The men who are behind the movement have only one end in view in incorporating the Chautauqua. Heretofore, in case of accident or injury at the Chautauqua grounds the few men actively interested in the enterprise stood liable in case the injured persons sued for damages. When the Chautauqua is incorporated thee money raised by the sale of stock will be used as a guarantee fund and will relieve the promoters of the Chautauqua from such responsibility. EDITORS MAY VISIT RICHMOND The National Editorial Association will meet in Indianapolis June 13, and after the convention the editors will make a tour of the principal cities and towns ef the state. The Retail Merchants Association of Richmond will tender an invitation to the editors to visit Richmond and it is almost an assured fact that the invitation will be accepted. After making a tour of Indiana the editors will go to Chicago where they .will embark on one of the bi steamers for a tour of the Great Lake3. ; ' -

WHY THE HOODOO AT EARLHAM ?

MANY ASSERT THAT LOSING TEAMS ARE DUE TO POOR COACHING. STAND TAKEN BY PRES. KELLY Thinks That Graduate Coaching Is Good Enough Poor Athletics a Bad Advertisement. It seems that the hoodoo which has been hanging over Earlham 's athletic teams for the past year and a half cannot be broken. Ever since the spring of 1004 when the Quakers turned out their championship track team, one defeat after another has followed in the wake of the wearers of the yellow and white. The fewT teams that Earlham did conquer were very weak, and in a class with the high schools, and academies of the state. The problem of winning teams is a serious one with the followers of Earlham, and all wish to see winning teams placed in. the field. If the hoodoo continues they would be in favor of seeing intercollegiate athletics abolished entirely at the Quaker institution. Whether this losing streak is caused by lack of material and inexperienced coach, or letting personal feelings, and prejudices govern the make up of the teams, is not known, but some decided change will have to be made, or the step that Butler College has made in abolishing athletics, would be favored by many. When asked if professional coaching would be kept up at Earlham, President Kelly stated that graduate coaching would be favored, because these men were able to teach as well as coach the athletic teams, which is seldom possible with professional coaching. Earlham has always taken a decided stand for clean athletics and it is showing a fine spirit in clinging to this, but it cannot be denied that losing teams are a poor advertisement for a college of Earlham's rank in the educational world, and some action will probably be token to better the situation.

HARRY PARRY RETURNS HHME FROM KALAMAZOO, MICH., WHERE EE PLAYED POLO League Has Been Completely SmashedParry Has an Offer From Nashville. Tenn. Harry Parry, the last of the Richmond boys who played polo in the ill-fated National Polo League of Michigan, has returned from Kalamazoo arriving in this city yesterday. Parry brings the news that that league has completely smashed up and the sport is dead for this season at least. The league started out the first of the season with Lansing, Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids and Saginaw in the circuit. The clubs were inefficiently managed and as a result Grand Rapids and Saginaw withdrew early in the season. Battle Creek took Saginaw 's place but it soon "gave up the ghost." Toledo, Kalamazoo, Jackson and Lansing composed the circuit when the final smash up came, the teams finishing in the order named. Parry was captain of the Kalamazoo team and made an excellent record for himself. Before returning to Richmond Jarry received an ' offer from the Nashville team of the Tennessee League but declined it. He wants to sign with some team in the Ohio League. MONEY IS NEEDED TO CARRY ON WORK ASSOCIATED CHARITIES HAVE NOT RECEIVED ADEQUATE HELP THIS WINTER. APPEALS WERE UNHEEDED Rev. E. Minter Will Now Solicit Peoi .;.:'''-' , - pie of Richmond in Hope of -Raising Needed Money. The Board of Associated Charities has called the attention of the public to the condition of the treasury, of this association. Last October 'we sent out GG2 circulars to people in our community, who, in the judgment of the committee, could do something to aid in carrying on this work. We have heard, up to the present, from about 230 people, some of these regretted that they could not do anything. To make it easy and convenient to respond, a stamped return envelope was enclosed. January 23, a reminder was sent out to those who had not responded. We have heard from some of them. There are still about 400 from whom we have not heard. We are anxious to know whether Richmond wants an association of this kind. If so, it must be supported by the people. A little help from each one, will be a great help to lis. We are inclined to believe that many have merely neglected to attend to this matter, and that they really want to help. According to our promise that we would have some one to call on the people, we are sending out Rev. E. Minter, wh will call on those who have not responded, and also some who have not received a circular, and find out what you are willing to do for this cause. We bespeak for him a kindly reception and a liberal responee. GEO. H. KNOLLENBERG, SAMUEL GAAR, A. JOHN B. DOUGAN, B. JOHNSON, WALTER DO AN, Finance Committee. Mrs. J.

"Hello, is this the Palladium?" asked a feminine voice over the phone yesterday." Yes, what is it pleasef" replied a reporter. "Well I have a story I would like to submit for the prize the Palladium is offering for the best story sent in" floated over the wire. The reporter pricked up his ears. "Let'er go" he said quickly. "Its this" continued the voice. "Yesterday a woman with whom I am acquainted bought a loaf of bread at a bakery and at supper the bread was served to her family. After the greater nart of the loaf had been eaten one of the members of the family cut into the middle of the bread and there found deposited a dead mouse." The informant theu gave her name which is that of a well known resident of this city whose verasity is undoubted. She absolutely refused to give the name of the family who had the unfortunate and unappetizing experience with the loaf of bread, which was evidently baked for -the benefit of some Chinese laundry colony. . '.- : ,:r.r;. l.i , . Before further information could be gathered the lady w4io 'tipped off" the story rang off. A reporter called to see her last night and exhausted all his eloquence and diplomacy in trying to secure the name of the unknown family but his efforts were fruitless. FAVOR THE "BLUE - LAWS."
