LIMITED SERVICE THROUGH RICHMOND WILL BE RESTORED

v iFTnest Traction Cars in Use Anywhere Are to Be Run . Between Indianapolis and Dayton in Short Time. NEW SCHEDULE WILL BE AN UNUSUALLY FAST ONE Cars Will Stop at West Alexandria, Eaton, Richmond, Cambridge City, Knightstown and Greenfield. Richmond will once more see elegantly furnished, limited interurban cars, -running from Dayton to Indianapolis. Arrangements are being made by the officials of the so-called merger lines, to re-establish through service. Schedulesg are now bein prepared, and the new cars will be put in operation just so soon as the new cars ordered for the service, are delivered into the hands of the officials. The only stops that will be made between Richmond and Indianapolis will be Cambridge City, Knightstown and Greenfield. The stops between Richmond and Dayton will be at Eaton and West Alexandria. The old through cars, which were run by the Dayton and Western were dispenses with when the trouble arose between the Dayton and Western and The Indianapolis and Eastern. At that time the Dayton and Western was independent of, the socalled merger lines aiVl refused to have any dealings whatever with the lines, which were then controlled ' by Schoepf in Ohio and McGowan in Indiana. Later the D. & W. was leas fd by the former parties, and is now part of the Indiana-Ohio system and there is no chance of the through cars being taken off by jealousy between two different roads. The now schedule which will be put in operation will clip forty-five minutes off the running time between Indianapolis and Dayton. It was stated yesterday that the majority of this time would be saved btwe'V. Richmond and Indianapolis, on t't' tracks of the Indianapolis and East; era. New Cars Handsome. The new cars will be the handsomest interurban cars on any system in Indiana or Ohio. They will by far surpass th3 old Dayton and Western through limited cars, both' in the point of beauty and service. The cars will be patterned somewhat after the types of the Union Traction cars. Although it is known that the cars will be put on in the near future, it has not been given out as to how t many cars will be run between the j two points daily. REFUSES TO ADMIT HE IS DEFEATED Dowie's Candidate for First Apostle Files Protest Against Election. CLAIMS iT WAS UNFAIR EVEN FOES OF DOWIE ADMIT THAT HE IS STILL "ELIJAH" AND THAT HE IS NOW SUFFER ING PUNISHMENT. I Publishers Press" 1 Chicago, Sept. 13. John Alexander Dowie refuses to admit himself beaten in the contest for spiritual and temporal control at Zion City. He is himself too ill to hold the scepter longer and Alfred Bills, his candidate for the post of first apostle, filed notice of an election contest today against Wilbur Glenn Voliva. who won at the polls by a vote of 190D to 6. Bills charges that the election was unfairly conducted and that, when he objected, he was forcibly ejected from the polling place. Voliva. he adds, has net yet lived in the state a year. He asserts that this makes the winner ineligible to hold office as .first apostle. . Though Dowie has been deprived f all power, even his foes in the church admit that he is still "Elijah." l,ike other prophets, they say, who have sinned, he la now suffering punishment through sickness and loss of authority. t is said that Voliva counselled adherence to Dowie's teaching, fearing that denial might overthrow the church-

DUBLIN TAKES ADVANCED STEP The Little City Is to Have Public Reading Rooms and Athletic Field. GIFT OF A MILLIONAIRE E. O. NELSON BUYS TRACT OF ELEVEN ACRES WITH HOUSE ON IT MISS FLORA BROWN TO BE IN CHARGE. Dublin, this county, is to be the site of an institution which marks a more advanced step toward social settlement work, than is usually attempted by a town of that size. E. O. Nelson, a millionaire and philanthropist of St. Louis, has deeded a plot of eleven acres, on which is a house, to Miss Flora Brown, who is to be the superintendent of "a place for the social betterment of the village." The property was sold at $2,7C0. Several baseball diamonds, a football gridiron and tennis courts are to be laid out. The house will be furnished with reading rooms, recreation parlors, and class rooms where work in Bible study and the language may, be had. The institution is not to be of any particular church, but of all churches and for the help of the needy. Dublin received the gift through the good offices of the Rev. Caldwell, of the Universalist o.hurch, who wrorked with Mr. Nelson over fifteen years ago, in the establishing of social settlements. Mr. Nelson has visited at Dublin several times, and was impressed by the beauty of the little town ,and decided that he would help the good work which had been started there. NEW TRAIN PROPOSED The Pan Handle, It is Said, May Have Another Cincinnati-Chicago Flyer, The Pan Handle railroad may have a new fast train to Chicago, leaving Cincinnati every day about the noon hour. This is the word that has been passed among the officials in this city, but the junior has not yet been confirmed. The competing company has a fast train over the Monon route, leaving Cincinnati about noon for Chicago, and it is understood j that the Pennsylvania lines will fol- i low shortlv with a full vestibuled'. ! through train. The new train, if it is put on, will arrive in the "Windy City" about S:30 at night. WAS STRUCK BY A TRAIN Dayton Man Badly Injured in the Pennsylvania Station Proceeds to Chicago.

AND DID NOT A Paradoxical Situation in the Meeting of Friends at PlainfielcL HOW IT ALL CAME ABOUT MEASURE CONTAINING EN DORSEMENT FAILED TO PASS ON ACCOUNT OF STAND FOR ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE. Plainfield. Ind.. September 19. (Spl.) The Western Yearly Meetin? of Friends, which closed this after noon, did and did not indorse Gover nor Hanly for his moral support and enforcement of laws. This paradoxi cal situation was brought about by a clash between parliamentary and us ual procedure and the Friends' old custom of "taking the sense .of the meeting" and adopting declarations by the, unanimous voice of the peo ple. A resolution presented by Milton Hanson, of Westfield, providing for the law enforcement, the Anti-Saloon League for its labors to make India na "dry," and calling on the next L9islature to pass a law providing that cities and counties as usits may remonstrate against and prohibit saloons, was the bone of contention "fought over by its supporters, by third party Prohibitionists, and by uncompromising temperance people who wilf not be satisfied with anything short of a constitutional amendment absolutely abolishing the sale of liquor. , Contention of Prohibitionists. The third party Prohibitionists did not wish the Anti-Saloon League to have the credit for making dry many townships in Indiana, asserting that the Prohibition party was the real power in doing this. Some even went as far as to declare that notwithstanding the report showing the great number of dry townships, that there were more saloons in Indiana than ever before, and therefore the work of the league was not as effective as it appeared on the fact of the report. Then the uncompromising, temperance people took their stand against making demands for anything short of absolute and total prohibition. f The fight against the resolution was led by Jehu Milhouse, of Valley Mills, and Solomon Woodard, of Bloomingdale. In the discussion the heated indorsement of Governor Hanly was almost forgotten though Millhouse protested against commending a man or officer for doing his duty. This sentiment, however, was drowned out completely by the speeches "it called forth. The Resolution Withdrawn. Finally, after a spirited discussion, lasting some time, the resolution Was presented and the vote was called by Thomas Brown, clerk. The vote was 58 for adoption and 52 against. Mr. Brown, reverting to the old Quaker custom of harmonious and unanimous action, was not disposed to declare it carried, and finally Hanson withdrew the resolution. Had the resolutiff prov''g for the indorsement of Governor Hanly been presented separately it would have passed by practically unanimous vote if indeed any vote would have been recorded against it. . The whole procedure was one that could have occurred, it seems, only in a Friends' meeting, and it was the result of a conflict between later-day parliamentary rocedure of majority ruling, and the old Quaker customs that are waning rapidly. WILL GUARD FAIRBANKS ixtraordinary Precautions Will be Taken When Vice President Visits Chicago Tomorrow. Chicago, Sept. 19. Extraordinary precautions are being taken by the police to guard Vice-President Fairbanks during his visit here Friday. A strong force of detectives will .meet him at the station, others will mingle in the crowd wherever he goes, his room at the Auditorium Annex will be constantly watched, and on his drives about the city, two plain clothes men, heavily armed, will ride with him. IS TO BE BROUGHT HERE David Rhinehart, a Marion Plasterer, Will be Placed in the Local - Hospital for the Insane. The application for the admission of David Rhinehart, of Marion, has been sent to the authorities at the Eastern Indiana Hospital for the Insane. Rhinehart is a plasterer by trade and while at work at Indianapolis recently he became insane. His wife went after him, returned him to his home at Marion and yesterday a sanity commission declared him to be fit subject for treatment at the hospital.

SMALL AUTOMATIC SVSTEM IS PUT III Public Pan Qno .Untv Mmti uunu wuii wio i iuvv nuiff Phones Work by Calling at Starr Piano Rooms. SWITCHBOARD IN WINDOW IT IS THE DESIRE OF THE HOME TELEPHONE COMPANY TO LET CUSTOMERS UNDERSTAND THE "AUTOMATIC." The Home Telephone Company will give a demonstration of the ne"w automatic telephone system at the salesroom of the Starr Piano Company on East Main street either to day or tomorrow. The system' of ten phones is being placed at different points in the salesrooms, and as soon as all the connections are made, the telephone company will invite the public to examine them. Although many people of Rich mond who use telephones, are acquainted to a more or less degree with the new system which will be installed here, they have never seen it in working order, and this is one reason why the "Home" people decided to give it a practical public demonstration before the entire plant was installed in this city. The large switchboard which will accomodate the ten 'phones has been placed in the show window, so that people may see the working system of the delicate piece of mecha.nism. A representative of the Automatic company is in the city attending to the installation of the demonstrating plant.

COLORED MAN IS SHOT

A MYSTERIOUS AFFRAY Ballard Elmore Wounded While at Work in the Railroad Yard Two Men Arrested but Both Deny Knowledge of the Affair. t Ballard Elmore, colored, a switchlight tender in the Pennsylvania railroad yards, was the victim of a mysterious shooting early yesterday morning while engaged in his work near the Twelfth street crossing. A bullet from a 32 caliber revolver struck Elmore in the right shoulder. He fell to the ground, but recovered sufficiently to go to his home on South Thirteenth street. Later he was removed to Reid Memorial hospital where surgical attention was given him. The wound is not regarded as dangerous. Elmore told tje police that he saw William Bennett and Lacy Parks, both colored, as he was going to the railroad yards early yesterday morning. He felt that one or the other of the men might have done the shooting. Both men were arrested yesterday and both denied knowing of the shooting. It developed in the course of the Investigation that there has been some ill feeling between the men as a result of family strife of some sort. Both Bennett and Parks are being held sending the examination but no charse has been placed against either. Some action in the case . probably will be taken this morning. E CLERKS NEEDED RAILROADS WILL BE BUSY New Rate Law Will Make It Neces-s sary for Additional .Help in Offices All Companies Arranging to Comply With Provisions. The new rate law has made it necessary for nearly all the railroads of the country to double their force of rate clerks. Every general office is scouring the country, for rate men and are putting their best men in the general rate offices. The law will almake it necessary for the rail road to increase materially all other forces except in the soliciting crew. Altogether, it is said, it will require 15 per cent more men than the general offices have heretofore employed. This condition makes good rate men and other good office men much in demand. For several years railroads have had some difficulty In getting the right kind of men for the most responsible places and for several years to come really comtetent men will have no trouble in finding lucrative positions. An official, in sneaking of this, said yesterdav: "We are to obey the law, not to fight It, whether -we consider it just and legal or not. One singular feature of the whole matter is that the new law was expected to effect freight traffic and freight rates most seriously, bat to the contrary the passenger are experiencing the most trou'Tf77 conform to the new lawv

BRYAN TALKING FOR BIG WAGES Nebraskan Puts High Price on His Campaign Oratory. This Ssason. WANTS $1,000 A SPEECH OHIO DEMOCRATS GREATLY CON FUSED AS A RESULT AND IT IS POSSIBLE THE PEERLESS ONE may'be SHUT OUT. Columbus, O., Sept. 19. (Spl.) On thousand dollars per is the price put upon each of his day's speeches in Ohio this campaign by William Jen nings Bryan. His coming has stir red up confusion, the- outcome of which is hard to guess because a difference of opinion as to the advisability of his coming has been developed. At a secret meeting of Democratic congressional candidates held here last week, it is reported there was a sentiment that Bryan would do them more harm' than good if he srpok in the state, this fall because of the opposition to his views on government ownership of the railways. Candi date Hoskins, who leads the state ticket, is said to have expressed a similar opinion last week. When the State Executive Committee met here yesterday. Chairman Garber is said to have informed the committee that Bryan would expect $1,000 for each day in Ohio. "Now. I haven't got $1,000 for a. speech,"' re marked Garber. "Have any of you gentlemen got $1,000 to offer for a speech " Several of those present were among Bryan's most enthusiastic admirers, but they didn't offer to donate the $1,000 asked.

Late Senator of Ohio Called Greatest Corrupter of Pol-, itics Ever Known, OHIO OFFICIAL'S VIEWS CITY CLERK OF CLEVELAND WON'T HANG HANNA'S PICTURE ALONGSIDE THAT OF. GENERAL SHERMAN, rPubllshers' PresaJ Cleveland, Sept. 19. Senator Hanna's memory was insulted today In a letter addressed by City Clerk Witt to Secretary Havens of the chamber of commerce. Witt in his better Intimated it is not fit that a portrait of General Sherman shall hang upon tho same walls with one of Senator Hanna, to whom Witt refers as "the greatest corrupter politics that this country has ever known." Witt's letter follows: I am informed by my first deputy that several years ago there was presented to the city an oil painting of General William Tecumsah Sherman. Owing to the fact that the city had at that time no proper place to hang this painting, my predecessor in office sent it to your body for safe keeping until such time as the city had a proper place to. hang it. The city at this time is in no better way to preserve this picture in a proper plate than it was at the time it was sent' to you. "By this morning papr I notice that the chamber has suspended from its walls ' a picture or the late Senator Hanna. I therefore request that you return at once the painting of General Sherman, as I do not consider It the proper thing that his painting should be suspended from the same walls from which is now suspended the portrait of the greatest corrupter of politics that this country has ever known."
