OF DISCUSSION

III SOCIETY'S REftLM

There Are Various Theories as to Cause of Cashier DuHadway's Trouble.

POSSIBLY A SPECULATOR

GENERAL THEORY ACCEPTED IS THAT HE MAY HAVE MADE IN , VESTMENT8 WHICH CAUSED THE LOSS.

There are no new developments In Ihe caBe of Charles R. DuHadway, former cashier of the First National ! bank, whose misappropriation of funds to the extent of $10,500 was the cause of a profound sensation among ! people in general and his wide circle of friends In particular. As is usual in such cases the inclination of people to discuss the probjable manner in which the funds were jused or what caused the action on ithe part of the cashier, have resulted

In scores of stories to be set afloat, none of which can be substantiated

! in whole or in part. It can be said with emphatic truthfulness that none of the bank oSlcers, 'his family or his closest friends liavo jany information whatever which will tend to show to a degree of certainty the cause of his withdrawals of the funds. Tho speculative theory is the one which is most generally accepted. The idea prevails that if Cashier Du'Iladway was engaged in some stock

speculation that he perhaps Invested a nominal Finn, lost, then tried to re-

Icuperato In order to save himself and the bank's funds, but failed asrain. Tho fact that Cashier DuHadway , made no effort tr leave the city when the discovery of the shortajso was i made is well known to the bank's offleers, for ho rot-only expressed a willingness to surrender to the 'authorities at once if they desired to prosecute, but he remained In HIc'imond two weeks thereafter and made no secret of hH intention of going south to spend the remainder of tne winter at least. That he was not well provided with funds when he left is believed by his family and friends. It Is known to an absolute certainty that at the present time federal officers are making an effort to locate the missing man and United States Marshal Boyd who eras In the city Monday night and a part of yesterday probably was here to get Information which might lead to the discovery of Mr. DuIIadway'8 whereabouts.

The following cards were received yesterday by a number of ladles: To meet Mrs. Milton B. Craighead Mrs. Gaar and Mrs. Jeannette Gaar Leeds Requests the pleasure of your company at a luncheon, Friday May, 22. at 1:30 o'clock. 26 Norfh Eighth Street. Local people have received cards to a whist party which will be given by Mrs. Guy S. McCabe at her home Fourteenth and North A street, at 8 o'clock on the evening of Saturday May 19. For some time past Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kolp, North Ninth street, have been considering offers to take charge of the dancing pavilllon at Jackson Park and to manage the fortnightly dances which will be given at Cedar Springs Motel this summer. Tbey announced yesterday that they had decided to accept the Cedar Springs ofTer. This assures the local people and the management of the popular summer resort that so far as the dances are concerned this summer, the Springs will be one of the most popular places in this section cf the country. Mr.3. Kolp will act as hostess at the dances and her widespread popularity in this city and her reputation as a successful conductor of dances will be sure to attract large crowds to Cedar Springs. Mrs. Kelp will probably spend Friday, Saturday and Sunday of each week at the Springs, acting as a social hostess. She stated yesterday that the dunces would probably be held twice a month on Fnturday evenings, the first dance being the first Saturday in June. Mrs. Xolp has decided to give the dances on Saturday night for the reason that many business men who have families staying at the hotel will ppend Saturdays and Sundays at the Springs.

I Many local young people have re

ceived the following invitation!?: You are invited to visit the Morgan Park Academv (Cl'vuvo) o.i the a."ternocn of Friday. May IS, 1D0G. to witness the inter-hall contest infle!d track events. In the evening at 8 o'clock will occur the annual minstrel show at Futerpean Hall, under the auspices of the Academy News.

Loral young prop! a have received invitations to the donee which will be given by the graduating class at Cambridge Citv high school Friday evening. May 2r. - ( Miss Varley and Miss Cessnan Tuesday night entertained the girls of their dress making chop in honor of Miss Ethel Dome who has returned to her homo in Pierceton. Ind. An elegant two-course luncheon was served and carnations wore given as favors.

With the intention of doing away with several of - the committees in Council which have heretofore had work which is now attended to by the Board of Public Works, a resolution will be presented in Council at the meeting, Monday evening. May 21, providing that a committee be appointed to rearrange the work of the different sub-committees of council and eliminate as many as possible. Before the new cuncilmen took their seats at the last meeting, there were sixteen of these sub-committees and each had charge of a different department of the city's government and control. Since the Board of Public Works, under the new Indiana municipal cods, was appointed, the need of all these committees has not been felt and at the lest meeting of council. Mayor Zimmerman stated that he would not make any appointments un til he knew just what was necessary. The following committees have heretofore been appointed from Council: Annexation, Finance, Claims, Streets and Alleys, Fire Department, Public Schools, Public Buildings and Grounds, Light, Printing and Stationery, Railroads, Water Supply, Nature! Gas, Crematory. Sav.ght.er Houses. Ordinances and Franchises and Select. The Board of Public Works now has the cltuies of the committees on Annexation, Streets and Alleys, Fire Department, Public Buildings and Grounds, Light, Railroads, -Water Supply, Crematory and Slaughter Ilousan. This leaves but a few committees to be appointed and tLeir work will be rearranged by the men appointed for that purpose, at th.3 next Council nu$Ung.

TOWNSHIP GAINED ; 46 POLLS III YEAR

Books of Assessor Meek Show That Number of Voters Was Increased in 1905.

INCREASE UNACCOUNTABLE

TOWNSHIP NOW HAS A TOTAL OF 3336 POLLS WHICH MEANS A TAX OF $10,000 MANY DO NOT PAY PROMPTLY.

According to the assessment books of Assessor Harry C. Meek, of Wayne Township, this township, including Richmond, gained 476 polls or voters during the year 1906, a very remarkable increase. This makes the total number of polls in Wayne township total 3,886, and if tax. is paid by each this year, the coffers of the city and county will be swelled to nearly 110,000. The gain of nearly 500 voters during one year is unaccountable, be-

fyand assigning it to the natural

growth of the township and city. Of course, the great majority of this gain was in Richmond, there being few outside. Every male resident over the age of 21 is a poll, and entitled to vote. An annual tax of $2.50 is assessed against each and is payable the same as other tax. The exact value of all taxable property, as determined by the assessor, was $13,060,000, in Wayne township and Richmond. This does not include the value of the property owned by croporations, which will probably swell this amount considerably. There was a gain in property value last year of $133,860, one of the larg

est gains in a single year ever known.

DEPOSITS ARE INCREASED

Big Day's Business at the First National Total Deposits Reach $35G,237.C5.

The total of the Individual deposits Injthe bank at the close of business yesterday was $556,237.05.

Dick Fishing Again.

Officials and clerks at the court house are confidently expecting a large "mess of fish" when Sheriff Dick Smith arrives home from Niles, Michigan. Dick is now up among the places where fish were originally placed, the Garden of Fish-Ede-. as it were, and reports that he can't bait his hook fast enough. The Sheriff's friends are already hungry and the fine brook trout and Michisan bass will taste fine when they do arrive.

THE NUMBER IS REDUCED

BUT FORTY DELINQUENTS

Dog Owners Paid Tax Better This Year Than Ever Before Warnings Will Be Issued to Delinquents Before Prosecution.

The time for paying dog lax ended yeasterday, with nearly forty canines In Wayne township that are not the proud possessors of a "tax receipt" and the forty owners of these forty canines are now 'liable, under the Indiana State laws, to a fine and ccsts varying from $10 to $15, just because they did not pay up in time. Last evening the books of the assessor showed that tax had been .n.i'V'this spring on L2Q0 Jipgf,, ,in this township and city alone,-which leaves 'about 40 "known" dogs that have not been paid for. La3t year, the number was greater than this and the threat of prosecution alone made petfple pay their tax. It is now up to the prosecutor to take action. He can either enforce tLs lav and make every person who owns or harbors a dog pay for a receipt as well as pay a heavy fine or just issue a warning. It is always thought bset, however, to allow a few days of grace, during whiCh time warnings are sent to the owners.

B AGREEMENT RE

AliHEU

TO APPOINT COMMITTEE

City and Pennsylvania Railroad Company Will Get Together on Matter of Building West 2nd Street Viaduct After Council Meeting.

No agreement between the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the

City of Richmond has as yet been entered Into In regard to the West Second street viaduct construction, and there will probably be no conference with a representative of the railroad until after the next meeting of Council. At that time, a special committee will be named to confer with the Board of Works, and will, with City Attorney Gardner, endeavor to make a satisfactory arrangement with the railroad. The question at stake is concerning the future use of the street beneath the viaduct by another railroad

or lnfefurban ' company. -As the agree

ment now stands, the railroad com' pany would be repaid for Its expense In the construction of the viaduct but the city would receive nothing. 1
