SUPPORT BEING BOUGHT

flX IS SAID'THAT LEADERS IN RUSSIA ARE BEING HEAVILY PAID TO STAND BY THE GOVERNMENT IN PRESENT CRISIS. Publishers' Press ' St. Petersburg, July 25. Now that tnost of the members are again In the capital and the necessity for secrecy regarding their position toward the government Is at -an end because of the government's actions towards the representatives of the people, a great effort is to be made to swing the army from Its allegiance towards the Czar and bring it around so that it can be used as a weapon against officialdom. An appeal, couched in the most bit- . ter language, has been printed and is to be circulated broadcast throughout all Russia, and those who are to be entrusted with the task of getting it before the people are also to be instructed to make the most earnest effort to get it into the hands of the troops. The radical members of the " Douma have joined hands with the Terrorists and the result is likely to be disastrous for those officials who have been slated by the "Reds" for death. In view of the fact that it is stated that the Czar has succeeded in securing large sums of money' abroad, and that these funds are to be used to buy off all leaders of the opposition in line with the past policy of the Russian government the report is being circulated that this money is the direct contribution of Emperor William of Germany to enable the Czar to retain his Kingdom In the ranks of absolute monarchies. The reports declare that the money was secured from two leading banking firms in the German capital who agreed to loan $125,000,000 to Russia only after the Kaiser had personally seen the bankers and assured them that he would guarantee them against' loss. A peculiar report Is gaining credence here this morning to the effect that the Czar's health Is again in the same state 'as during the latter days of the Japanese-Russian war, when It was feared that his mental powers .were threatened. According to this report he desires to abdicate and turn over the reins of government to a regent, to hold for his son, but the reactionaries are not ready for this at the present time and so they are practically holding the Czar a prisoner at Peterhoff, where he is doing the will of all officialdom. COSSACKS ARE DISARMED. Odessa, July 24 (Midnight) Nearly all of the riotous Cossacks who were responsible for the antiJewish agitation, have been disarmed and are now confined in their barracks under a heavy guard of troops. It Is reported, but not yet confirmed that before they were finally made prisoners they attacked the loyal troops and many of them were shot down. There has been no renewal of the rioting here since afternoon but further outrages are expected inasmuch ns the authorities are known to be encouraging the anti-Jewish agitation In order to divert the attention of the people from the events that have transpired at St. Petersburg since the Douma was dissolved. The city is In reality now under martial law and all persons are forbidden to gather In the streets and no one Is allowed out tonight unless they can show good and sufficient reasons for being abroad. MUTINY AMONG TROOPS. Warsaw, July 23. It Is reported that a mutiny has taken place among the troops comprising the garrison at Alexandrow and that fighting is now in progress between the mutineers and the loyal troops. According to this report many of the government buildings have been destroyed and numerous casualties have resulted on both 6idos. The populace is reported to be fleeing across the frontier. GIVEN HEAVY SENTENCE Earl Huntington Gets Fine That Will Keep Him in County Bastile for Some Time to Come. Ean Huntington, on a charge of assault and battery, was fined $10.00 and costs, committed to the County Jail for 25 days, and placed under a $100 peace bond yesterday morning in police courL Huntington failed to furnish the .bond and will have to lay out the time on it from one day to one year as the discretion of the court may suggest. Judge Converse intimated that it was not his intention -to require Huntington to serve the whole year and that it depended upon circumstances as to the exact length of confinement he would decide upon. This seems to be the climax in Huntington's trouble lay which has occupied the minds and concen of his family and the attention of the police for some time pastil

LIGHTS WENT OUT BUT HOT THE FUN Carnival Crowd Enjoyed Itself in Spite of the Fact that All Was Dark. A POLICEMAN IS FOOLED YOUNGSTER CLAIMED HE WAS TOUCHED OFFICER WAS EXCITEDTHEN YOUNGSTER SAID IT WAS BY A FEATHER. "Ohl who did that?" and "Now you stop!" were familiar epressions heard at the Carnival last night. It was dark and confetti was being shoved into the pretty mouths of petite misses their shell like ears were being tickled by a bunch of Plymouth Rock feathers at the end of a maple slick. (The lights had gone out.) The Eagles had their lights contracted for from the Light, Heat and Power Company and all they had for a while last night was the contract. Everything was at a stand still, the shows became lax, the "barkers" took a rest the street cars waited at the top of the hill, and the only thing doing was the shoving of confetti in those pretty traps afore mentioned, all because the lights were out. "I'm touched!" yelled a little fellow and beat it for a "cop." The "Cop" and "Runty" pushed and shoved around through the crowd. Finally the "cop" asked "By whom?" "By a feather," gasped Runty and beat it on the hot foot with the excited "officer of the law" in pursuit. The lights came on, music started, Implorations from the "screechers" were wafting the ears of the crowd, the cars lined up in front and the people went home. Thus the carnival ended for another night. WM. G.TOOUITSTNNDARD IS ALSO VERY SICK MAN Real Manager of the Great Oil Combine, Returns to His Home from Europe, Having Received no Relief from Life Eating Canc'er. Publishers' Press Tarrytown, N. Y., July 24, William Rockefeller, who has been in Europe for some time, returned home a few days ago and is now staying at his residence near here. He has not been to his office and refused to say anything regarding the state of his health. Mr. Rockefeller had been in Europe about a year. He was very ill and is believed to be suffering from cancer. His return was a great surprise to his friends as it had been stated that he had made no plans to return home. Mr. Rockefeller, it is . said, will soon sever all connection with the various Standard Oil enterprises. His son. William G. Rockefeller, will succeed his father in the directorates. Cooks Went on Strike. "Mine Host" Arch Hindman, of the hotel a Hagerstown, is having troubles of his own at the present time. Just as be was making preparations for the entertainment of the large crowd of fair visitors, his cooks decided that they would create a little excitement and thought that the best way to do this would be to go on a strike and this is what they have done. It is probable that Hindman and his cooks will pat-h up differences before the fair com ? up in full blast-

RACE PROGRAM FOR TODAY

MANY OF THE BUILDINGS AT THE GROUNDS HAVE BEEN ENLARGED WHILE TRACK HAS BEEN CAREFULLY WORKED. The Wayne County Fair Association as reorganized, opened its first fair yesterday at Hagerstown, under conditions that were favorable in every way, and which indicate a most successful week. As usual, the first day did not bring forth great crowd, though there were a thousand or more persons who passed through the gates and spent the day viewing the exhibits of blooded hogs, cattle horses, sheep and poultry; the displays in Floral Hall and the various attractions in the side-show adjuncts. Perhaps never before in the history of the Hagerstown fair have the various departments been so well conducted. Breeders of cattle, hogs, horses and poultry have taken a new interest in the fair as a result of the liberal premiums offered and in consequence the exhibits are worthy of special mention this year. There has been a vast change in the grounds since last year. The various buildings have been remodeled and in some instances considerably enlarged; the race track has been worked over until it has become one of the best half-mile circuits in the State and the grounds in general appear attractive to the eye. The management has taken the precaution to adequately police the grounds' and good order, therefore, is certain. Another wise precaution of the management has been to see that the various side-show attractions are of the best. The races, always a leading feature of the fairs at Hagerstown, will begin today and the list of entries shows that all events are to be well filled and consequently hotly contested. There will be a big crowd of people on the grounds today and tomorrow, the socalled 'big day." The management anticipates an attendance of between 4,000 and 5,000 people. Richmond will be well represented the balance of the week. The fair will close Friday evening. The program for today's races, with the entries for the harness events follows: Thre-Year-Old Pace.

The horse took fright at the car and started to run away, coming into collision with a small pony cart driven by Donald Wright, and throwing Dillon to the ground with great force.

TAKES STAND FOB TELEPHONE GIRLS Manager of Winchester Phone Company Thinks they Deserve Better Treatment. KINDNESS IS FORGOTTEN GROWTH OF THE 'PHONE BUSINESS HAS BEEN REMARKABLE IN WINCHESTER NEW PARTY BOARD PUT IN. Winchester, Ind., July 24. (Spl.) Manager O. H. Barnhill, of the Eastern Indiana Telephone Company, is making an effort to stop the abusing of telephone girls by impatient subscribers. He claims that people very often forget when the telephone works and remember .only when it don't, so they forget the thousand kindnesses, accommodations and favors that the telephone girl confers upon them that are outside the duties of her employment. He is of the opinion that courtesy might pay as well toward her as towards other human beings. Eight years ago Fockler Brothers first started the telephone business in Winchester with but thirty-five subscribers. Today there are eleven hundred subscribers, with forty people on the pay roll. Fourteen exchange girls are required and are as follows: Alma Jobes, Flo Smith, Etta Hall, Francis Starbuck, Lillian Stanley, Olive Hodge, Goldie Smith, Anna Barnhill, May Method, Chase Stanley, Ethel Shockley, India Keys, Mary Bailey and Margaret Pickett. MissAlma Jobes is the chief operator. An addition has just been completed to the company's office building. The growth of the business has been so rapid that it has been necessary to purchase a new party line board, which will, be installed in a short time.

a holy war by, the followers of Mo THE MAYOR WAS SERIOUSLY SICK Took Large Potion of Chloroform to Ease Pain from Severe Headache. SENSATIONAL STORY OUT DOCTOR LAUGHED AT SUICIDE RUMOR AND SAID HE WANTED TO LIVE TO HEAR FROM HA GERSTOWN RACES. 0 Sensational storlesVwhich were circulated yesterday on the streets with reference to the illness of Mayor Zimmerman, culminated in a statement being made by the mayor himself, direct from his office, in which he said that he had - been rendered 111 from the effects of drugs taken In an endeavor to ease a severe attack of neuralgia of the head on Sunday evening. The mayor had suffered a recurrence of neuralgia which had attacked him frequently of late and headache powders, and a small Quantity of morphine had failed to bring the desired relief. In the hope of Inducing sleep which might bring relief from the pain he was suffering the Mayor finally took a potion of chloroform and was made seriously sick, lapsing Into unconsciousness. The following signed statement was made to the Palladium yesterday: "Ive taken such treatment with cholroform six or seven times before on account of severe headaches which the commoner remedies will not relieve. Whenever I take this treatment I always call Dr. L. G. Bowers in attendance, as I did Monday. Once before I called Dr. Bowers by telephone at Dayton and he came over here to attend me. I generally take chloroform for about twenty-four hours, something which few men can do. I haven't had any sleep for about ten days owing to the press of business as I make about fifty calls a day, and as is customary this severe headache came upon me and I sought relief by this treatment. The result which is not unusual, was that I became very ill and have not been able to hold any food upon my stomach. "I am not afraid to take it and will take it again if the same kind of a headache visits me. I have no reason to commit suicide and I don't think that there ,is a happier man alive than I. I am making money and have nothing in my life to cause me to think of taking mr life." (Signed) W. W. ZIMMERMAN. The doctor was ut and aror.nd yesterday attending ofnee calls and made one trip on an urgent call. While he was ill in bed Monday be was making arrangements to enter his horse In the Hagerstown races and said that he "certainly wanted to be alive just to get the returns." Judge Fox Will Fish. Judge Henry Fox. of the. Circuit Court, will leave next Monday for Bruce Lake where he will tantalize the fishes for a couple o weeks..

INTEREST IS GROWING MR. BROWN IS OPTIMISTIC Story is Received Here of F. C. Ball's Experience at Muncle With Worth- ' less Young Man Who Joined Y. M. C. A. and Was Reformed. Organizer Charles H. Brown states that Interest In the.Y. M. C. A. movement in this city is Increasing. Every day people who have heretofore paid but little attention to the local proceedings have been asking questions and in other ways showing their interest. The following story comes from Muncie where they are making an effort to build an Association building. "Mr. Frank C. Ball, the well-known fruit jar manufacturer, in making an appeal for an Association building at Muncie, Ind.. started with his own pledge of $25,000, related this incident . 'A young man was employed In our factory who on account of his habitual drunkenness and other bad habits, was sent to the factory in Kansas simply to get rid of him. On ' a recent visit to Kansas City I met this same young man and did not recognize him. he was such a strong, manly looking fellow and carried himself with such refined dignity. The Young Men's Christian Association influences had been brought to bear upon him and he had been lifted from the mire of degradation to a life of honesty, industry and sobriety.'" Building Nears Completion. The new buildings at the factories of the Starr Piano company are nearing completion and the roof will be put on this week. Thtj building will be devoted exclusively to the manufacture of grand piano3 and it is thought that by September J at, the Starr factory will be enabled to put out three times as many pianos of this style as they are now doing. A new dry kiln is also being built, making the fourth of this kind. This will also tend toward the enabling of the firm to put

out a larger product. "
