C. C. & L. PROVES THORN III SIDE

OF THE PEIIIISy For the Third time it Reduces the Rate to Cincinnati and the Public is Very Appreci ative. STARTLES ITS RIVAL BY THE LATEST ACTION ff Richmond People Use the C. C. & L., They Will Save 50 Cents a Trip Other Cuts Are Coming Soon. , The C. C. & Li. which already has put up a big crimp in the passenger business of the Pennsylvania between Richmond and Cincinnati, has taken another twist at the gigantic corporation and will again reduce the fare between Richmond and the Queen City. C. A. Blair, local ticket agent for the C. C. & L.. yesterday made the formal. announcement that on and after October 1, Richmond passengers to Cincinnati will have to pay but $1.50 one way and $2.90 round trip, tickets for round trip being good for thirty days. Make Excellent Time. The C. C. & L. trains running into Cincinnati have shorter mileage to cover than the Pennsylvania and the traveling public is' beginning to recognize this fact and the biggest business out of Richmond to Cincinnati Tvill be over this line. It is rather a noteworthy fact that during the present summer season there has been scarcely a late train into Cincinnati over the C. C. & L., showing the wonderful .improvement made In the physical condition of the road. I With the fare reduced to $1.50 for one way, the C. C. & L. is simply demonstrating that It Intends to give the people of Richmond the benefit of its excellent service at a lower rate than the Pennsylvania gives for the very same. The Old Rates High. A . few years ago when the Pennsylvania had things air its own way In Richmond, it charged a fare of $2.10 to Cincinnati. The C. C. & L.. now cuts this rate 60 cents. The old round trip rate on the Pennsylvania was $3.S0. The C. C. & L. has thus reduced the round trip rate 90 cents. The competition offered by the C. C. & Li. has manifested Itself in no uncertain way and the people are appreciative. The completion of the C. C. & L.. Into Chicago will doubtless result in chances of fares to that point as well as territory beyond: and their competitors are becoming somewhat anxious over these circumstances, fearing the long established condition will be disrupted. Official Announcement. The official announcement of the C. C. & Li. relative to the reduction in fare is as follows: "On October 1, 1906, the C. C. & L.. (Continued on Page Four.) TO LOWER WATER MAINS NO STOPPING OF WATER Richmond City Water Works Has Task of No Mean Kind on Its Hands, Occasioned by the Improvement of North F Street. ' Lowering a 201 inch water main three feet without stopping the flow of water, will be the task of the Watr Works Company as soon as it can get the labor to do the job. The water main to be lowered is that on North F street, between the Mill Works and 19th street. This is made necessary by the improving of that street which is being cut down to the present line of the pipe. The earth will be dug out from underneath tha main while it is supported by jacks. When this is accomplished the main will be lowered to Its position. Owing to the fact that labor is very scarce In the city at this time no definite period can be set for the task.

Generally Conceded That no Thoroughfare Could Have Selected Will be Closed Days During the Test. Better Been Two Interest has been awakened in West Richmond "through the proposed oiling of National Ave. as a treatment for roads to prevent dust. The test could be made on no better street in the city, than on this par ticular one as it is the most traveled and always in a deplorable condition. The exact time for the test has not been settled on, but probably will be within the next month or so. The Good Roads company of Cincinnati who are contractors will furnish all equipment necessary. For a couple of days after the sprinkling the street will be closed in order that the oil may have opportunity to thoroughly soak into the earth. The Board of Public Works stated yesterday that if this experiment proves a success they will, in all probability oil other streets as fast as they have the money for the work. GRAND JURY TAKES HAND IN MATTER All Directors of Defunct Chicago Bank Except Young Stensland Indicted. EMBEZZLEMENT CHARGED SOME OF THE DIRECTORS NOT DIRECTLY ACCUSED BUT IN DICTED BECAUSE THEY PER MITTED CROOKEDNESS. Publlshers Press! Chicago, Sept. 13. Indictments charging embezzlement were return ed late today against all of the directors of the Milwaukee Avenue State Bank except Theodore Stensland, son of the absconding president. Formal charges were returned to Judge Kavanaugh's court by the grand jury. There began at once preparations for admitting to bail five of the accused officials. The indicted persons are: Paul O. Stensland, president of the bank; Henry W. Ileriug, cashier of the bank; Frank R.

Stensland; M. A. Labuy, former justice of the peace, stocKnoiaers or tne bank for years, a director. Eight indictments, in all were returned, each running against all the seven defendants. The charges against the directors came as a result of the institution having accepted deposits after it was insolvent. The state holds the directors responsible on the theory that they should have" known what was going on at the bank and technically did know and approved of the crimes 'committed by Stensland and Hernig. There will be at least eight witnesses at the trials of the men indicted today. A list of that many persons who deposited money in the bank on the Saturday preceding its closing is in the hands of Acting States Attorney Barbour. The directors were holding a meeting in the bank building, corner of Carpenter street and Milwaukee Avenue when they were Informed of the indictments being returned against them. They immediately made arrangements to .give bail. The meeting of the directors was called to frame a demand that Theodore Stensland be indicted or that the threatened action against him be withheld.

BUT THREE WERE

ARLE TO RESPOND Strain of Pathetic in Recep tion to Union Chapel Sanitary Commission. WAS HELD IN G. A. R. HALL HISTORY OF THE ORGANI ATION WHICH DID GREAT WORK AT HOME DURING THE WAR, IS GIVEN. Although tfce reception tendered the charter members of the Women's Re lief Corps and surviving mem bers of the old Union Chapel Sanitary Commission, by the Women's Relief Corps of the Sol Meredith Post, at G A. R. hall yesterday, was largely at tended, . and was greatly enjoyed by air those present, a strain of the pathetic ran through the entire gathering. Out of the large number of heroines who served their country's cause as members of the old Union Chapel Sanitary Commission of this city, during the Civil War, only three were present to answer the roll call at yesterday's meeting. The history of the organization of the old Union Chapel Sanitary Commission, is the history of the work af women who were left behind, to keep the wolf from the door of their homes, sheltering their children, and still more the unceasing work along sanitary lines which they did for their loved ones. Began with Aid Society. Previous to the war there was a lit tle church society known in Richmond as the Union Chapel Aid Society, which met each week for discussion of important topics, and also for spending a social hour. The ladies of the society worked industriously in caring for the needy in Richmond and helped other causes with the same zeal with which they cared for the poor. When the Civil War broke out the members of the society decided that they would turn their efforts to a still worthier cause, ana neip tne soldiers in the field, by sending them clothing, food and hospital ne cessities. The work was carried on with zeal arid many were the boxes of provisions, food and clothing that were sent to the front by the loyal Union Chapel Aid. It was shortly after the battle of Stone River that Chaplain Losier made his first-trip to Richmond in the interest of the State Sanitary Commission which had been formed by Indiana's famous wrar governor, Oliver P. Morton. Chaplain Losier arrived here the Saturday after the battle, and went to the Union Aid Society to see what they could do in the cause. They responded immediately, and all the next day notwithstanding the fact that it was Sunday, the faithful women went up and down the streets solic iting cloth for bandages and any oth er article of clothing or provision that could be sent into the field. One Example of Work. One room at the home of Mrs. Iliff, the president of the society, was soon filled with provisions, and especially with cloth that could be torn Into bandages for surgical use in the field. All day Monday the women worked in tearing the cloth and rolling it into (Continued to Page EigHt.) PLEA FOR THE CANTEEN Lieutenant General Corbin at St. Louis, Asks Restoration of the Army Canteen.

The people residing between Third and Fourth streets on Lincoln are loud in their complaints against the tall weeds that are left growing in that neighborhood.

Gregg of This City, is To Make Fine Gift to the New Paris Institution. A. W. Gregg, of the Hoosier Store, Richmond, has made the New Paris schools a princely gift. Mr. Gregg, who is one of the most talented and successful artists in the Richmond group, has promised to give the local schools one of his largest and finest paintings. The details of the gift are not worked out as 3ret, but it is probable that he will make an exhibit of his own and oth er work at the school house and that the patrons and pupils will attend. If this is done those present will be requested to make a choice of his paintings, the one receiving the largest number of votes to be the one presented by Mr. Gregg.

CROWD LAST NIGHT WIS LARGEST YET Fifteen Hundred People at the Carnival Grounds and All Well Pleased. MORE SHOWS MAY COME IT IS EXPECTED THAT TWO NEW ATTRACTIONS WILL BE ON HAND TONIGHT NO WILD ANIMAL SHOW. The best attendance that the Druids have had so far at their carnival was last night when over fifteen hundred persons were on the mid-way. Every show did a good business and most of those present seem pleased. The draw back to the festival so far has been the lack of the "Animal Show" which was so forcibly adver tised and which has failed to put in its appearance. Hatch has a contract with the animal show which was broken when the show for some unknown reason stopped in a Pittsburg park where it has remained. It is expected that two new shows will be on the grounds by this evening. The Streets of Cairo and The Oriental Theatre are expected to arrive in the city this morning and will be opened to the public tonight. The mid way has a new feature In the trapese work of Somoyoa. Harry Six, the man who blindfolded dives from a plat--m - . . - iorm over a nunarea leet in tne air into a tank of water was well ap plauded last night. Interest in the automobile which is to be given away has Increased. It was stated last night that the Druids are ahead financially and that the carnival will not put them into the hole. To Stop Ball Playing. Arch Raney, the mayor of New Paris, O., has ordered basball playing within the corporate limits of Xew Paris stopped, unless played in the public school grounds.

CAMPFIELD GETS LARGE CONTRACT

Owner of Colonial Building to Erect Hospital for Insane at Madison. HIS BID WAS $1,166,473 THERE WERE TWENTY-NINE BIDS IN LL BESIDES THE ONE MADE BY CAMPFIELD BY FAR THE LOWEST. Indianapolis, Sept. 13. (Spl.) The contract for the construction of the Southeastern Hospital for the "Insane, located at Madison, Ind., was awarded today to E. M. Campfield, of Findlay, Ohio, for $1,166,473, not including the hardware and the chimney bids, which are still under consideration by the commission, which has been in session at the State House for sever al days. The contract for the construction of buildings up to the amount of the ap propriation of $500,000, now available is absolute, the contract for other buildings included in the plans and specifications is conditional, and is dependent upon the approval of the General Assembly and the making of an appropriation. Therefore Mr. Campfield's proposal was the lowest one covering the construction of the entire institution, and was $73,193 less than the next lowest bidder for the general construction combined with the lowest bids for equipment, in eluding power, heating, plumbing, etc., by various other bidders. There were five other bids for the general construction and twenty-four other bids for the special construction and equipment.

2.0DQ U. S. MARINES ARRIVE AT HAVANA

Our Government Takes Advantage of It's Right td Restore Order in Island. THE TROOPS ARE WELCOME CUBAN GOVERNMENT NEEDS THEM AS INSURRECTION IS BEYOND CONTROL AND INSURGENTS LOOK FOR "NEW DEAL.". .Publishers Pressl ; Havana, Sept 13. (11:00 p. m.V It is the general report here tonight that two American transports bearing 2,000 American Marines, will arrive here before daybreak and will at once be landed. According to the report which Is be-' ing circulated, in what are usually well informed government circles, the. marines were hurried out of the United States and with considerable secrecy, and were dispatched here as soon as President Roosevelt was apprised' o fthe serious condition of the present! state of affairs on the island. Inasmuch as the United States, un-, der the Piatt Amendment, has the1 right to restore order In the Island the; fact that the marines are here, causes no particular surprise. The arrivals! will be welcomed, b3' both the government and the insurgents. The 4 government realizes that the Insur- -rection Is far beyond control while the insurgents believe that the American innovention means a "new deal In Cuban affairs." 1 IS NOT SET FOR TRIAL There Seems to Be a Misunderstand ing About the Case Against Officer Golden.
