CARUSO
The Indiana, Columbus and Eastern
is making great preparataions for improvements that will be made upon
tne car barns in this city next spring.
At the present time the light weight
steel tracks at the barns are being
torn up and rails of more substantial
pattern substituted.
Owing. to the sharp turns the long
interurban cars had to make on the old track the company has seen fit to
lengthen the spurs leading into the
barns, thereby doing away to a great extent with the sharp angles. This work will be completed in the course of the next few 'weeks. As soon as good weather arrives the company will erect an additional car barn between the two present ones. Owing to the fact that part of the car shops at Greenfield were moved here several months ago, it greatly crowded the two present barns at this place and it was finally decided that a new building should be provided. It ha not been decided yet as to
whether the new building will be used exclusively for car barn or shops. There has-en some agitation on the part of the' officials of the KelseySchepf ' syndicate toward " making Richmond a central point on the lines and building large shops and barns here. A prominent official of the local company stated yesterday, however, that there was "small likelihood of that move on the part of the company owing the fact that there are several other towns more centrally located on the lines than Richmond.

POLICE CAPTAIN SAYS HE WILL
GIVE TENOR'S MANAGER A CHANCE TO PROVE IT INTERESTING DEVELOPMENTS.
Arthur B. Oler has brought suit for divorce from Jennie M. Oler, alleging cruel and inhuman treatment. The complaint sets out that last July while Oler was on his back, helpless from an injury, his wife attacked him and kicked him severely, at the same time cursing him and stating that she wished he was dead. On another occasion Oler alleges, his wife assaulted him while he was in a weakened condition from an attack of typhoid fever. He also alleges that she assaulted him once with a cabbage knife and inflicted painful wounds on his arm, which he had thrown up to guard his head.
If the rumors floating about the Interurban station yesterday are truthful, and several of the employes were willing to vouch for their truth, the
new limited service, on the Indiana,
Columbus and Eastern, between Col
umbus and Indianapolis will begin on Monday morning, Dec. 3rd.
The handsome cars, which have
been running between Richmond and Indianapolis, for several days past, will be installed in the through ser
vice, wnicn will De me Desi ou any
interurban line in the West. The cars are built of such proportions that high speed is one of their possibilities, and it is expected the time between Columbus and Indianapolis w-ill
be greatly reduced, probably one and
one-half hours.
The matter of excess fare, which
has been bothering the brains of the traveling public, and will probably
be done away with entirely, according to the interburban. men. It is further understood that no baggage whatsoever will be carried on the limited cars, although their ample space pro
vided for this purpose.
The condition of the city track at
Dayton have been one of the causes
that has kept the new cars from mak
ing through trips. There the tracks
are somewhat narrower than these
used on the line of the Indianapolis
and Eastern. It is stated that this
condition have been remedied or will
have been before Dec. 3rd, so that
the new limited cars will find no trou ble in that direction. t
"IN.W00DMAN SAVE
SPARE THAT TREE" ROLE
For his own personal enlightenment Councilman Egelbert, asked the members of the council last night, why "The Old Willow" in Glen Miller
Park, had been chopped down.- He
was told that the tree had grown rot-
ton, and as it was in danger of fall
ing, with the probability- of injuring
some one, the tree had been cut down. The councilman was satisd. Condemn Summer Urinks. Local druggists are interested in the report from the State Board of Health in reference to the poor quality of some of the drugs sold, the report being to the effect that fortyseven percent are faulty in some way. Notice has been served on the druggists by Yhe State Board that conditions must be remedied. The druggists in answer insist that the. fault lies with the manufacturers and wholesalers. One thing especially condemned by the Board is the summer drinks, all these being pronounced bad.
'Publishers' Pressl New York, Nov. 1 0. According to a tatement made by Captain Stephenon of the Central Park Arsenal. Mrs.
lannah Graham will positively appear
b the Yorkville police court on Wed
nesday to testify against Signor En-
Ich Caruso, the world-famous tenor,
Who was arrested on last Friday on a
harge of annoying her. He deelar-
d that Mrs. Graham had not come for
ward because of the notoriety, but that
he would be in conrt on Wednesday.
ne captain also declared that he
kould give Heinrich Conreid, the sing-
r's manager, plenty of opportunity to
rove that the arrest was mada for lackmai!. The captain said that he would also
pen the eyes of the public bv arrest
ing other men equally as prominent as
aruso, who are guilty of "pinching"
omen and girls in the menagerie sec-
ion of Central Park. The reason, he
aid, that they had not been arrested
efore, was because he wanted to get
hem with as much as evidence as he
ad against Caruso.
Caruso, in the Metropolitan Opera
louse, tonight issued a typewritten
tatement in which he declared the harges made against him are false in
very particular. - t
" am entirely innocent, 'the state-
lent reads, " and the arrest and
harges made against me were a com-
lete surprise. There is no founda-
ion for them whatever, and I am con-
dent that I shall be completely vin-
icated. Th

COUNCIL AFRAID OF CENTRAL UtIIOII
Members Think There Is Likelihood of Home Company Selling Out to It.
ARE MOVING CAUTIOUSLY
REFUSE TO PASS WIRE ORDI- , NANCE UNTIL CENTRAL UNION AGREES TO MAXIMUM SCHEDULE OF RATES FIXED BY CITY.
The council chamber was the scene of a lively squabble last night, when the ordinance governing the removal of all telephone, telegraph and other poles from Main street, was introduced. The ordinance, which was up for its
third reading, called for the removal
of the poles and that the different high tension wires and cables be plac
ed under ground.
Apparently, the greatest friend to
the measure was Henry Deuker, and he fought for the cause valiently, but
the matter was hashed and rehashed
so much, that a motion was finally
made to lay the measure over, until the next meeting of council, and it carried, .much to the pleasure . of the
councilfnen fighting against; the passage of the measure,- and to . the -chagrin of those who boldly took a .stand for it." v . - v , , . .
From the way,- in which the matter
was discussed' last nignt,-tne mem
bers, of the council are feeling their way before they enact the legislation, although all-of - the . men. present expressed themselves as being in favor of the removal of the poles, although some of them differed with the clause in the ordinance, which provided that
the wires which should be removed from Main street, be placed in conduits, they': thinking that the 'city could not make the Central Union" Telephone company meet the rates, which the council specified that they should give to their patrons in case they let them lay their wires underground.
The whole squabble rested on the
SECRETARY SCOTTS DETAILED REPORT OE THE CHAUTAUQUA Six Hundred Dollars Were Cleared on the Affair, Which is Much Less Than Amount Made in former YearsLargely Due To Wet Weather, While Program Was Expensive.
The complete report of the receipts and expenditures during the last Chautauqua has been completed by Secretary Wm. Scott and copies of it are now in the hands of the directors. The report shows that the net profits are $610.44. This amount is considerably less than at former Chautauquas, due to the fact that the program this year cost more 'than ever before, while there were five rainy days which tended to cut down the attendance. According to the figures of Prof. D. R. Ellabarger, who was secretary of the Chautauqua in 1905, nearly $1,700 was cleared. J Each year the receipts are divided between the park board and Manager Shaw. This year Mr. Shaw will get but a little over $300, while in former years his remuneration has been much larger. One thing which this' year's report shows, is the immediate need of an auditorium.' Heretofore the Chautauqua has been favored with splendid weather, but this fall, holding -the sessions in a tent was not satisfactory on several days. Of the money which goes to the park board, the law specifies that it shall be used for permanent Chautauqua improvements. The permanent
-improvements will probably be in the nature of a pavilion, although it may

Pern, stated that the committees which had drawn the ordinance, was for the removal of the poles off Main street,
but they thought that there was plenty of time to do this, and in the, meantime, council could bring the Central Union to the rates which they had specified, but to which the telephone
company would not agree.
Mr. Von Pein stated that he thought
that after the telephone company had met the rates of the city, .that it was time enough to have ' the poles re

Councilman Eneelbert ' sided with
Mr. Von Pein, and it seemed ito be the opinion of the two men that if the Central Union did not meet the rate of the city'now, there-might be'a possibility of the company j buying the Home -Telephone- company,- and they

Elks Adopt a Very Novel Method of Opening Their Fair in the Coliseum.
FIRE ALARM AND ARRESTS
WAGONS RUSH TO EIGHTH AND MAIN ONLY TO HELP ADVERTISE THE EVENT WHILE PATROL GATHERS WAGON LOAD.
With the clang, clang, clang, of tno city's firo wagons responding to a bogus alarm from Eighth and Main streets, the Elks Fair was opened last night. The originality and enterprise shown in opening the fair was carried out during the whole evening and the eighteen hundred persons who passed into the Colsieum last night were pleasantly surprised at the beauty of the place aud happy that they were there. . Its a common saying that it takes the Elks to do things and along the line of a fair they are justified in saying last evening. Not only did they call out tae fire department but they enlisted the patrol In thrir house. Eleven Tespetfd members
of the order were arrested at Eleventh and Main streets and hurried
down the principal thoroughfare with a large crowd following them to th
Coliseum. The exact charge against
the antlered herd is that they wanted the pihograph man at Eleventh and Main to play "Hiawatha" and "Under the Old Apple Tree." The fire department, the patrol and
an abundance of red fire served to atttract a crowd of large size to the, Coliseum and the fair was on. Th6 high school lads . of corduroy pants fame added to the general confusion with big niegaphones, while a fre vaudeville stunt in front of th Coliseum served to pack the street till it was almost Impossible to pass along the sidewalk. Soon all the outside entertainment stopped. There was nothing but that on the Inside and there the crowd went. By actual count there were eighteen hundred . admissions while at the time, of going to press the aheckels left inside had not been computed. But one need not spend his money if he chooses not to do so. There aro acts inside to amuse and there is fun even in watching the others buy and looking at the gaudy decorations. It can truthfully be said the Coliseum never loked quite the same before. The vaudeville acts provided pleased well last night. They consist of Herr . ... . . . i . i
and rope walking. An account of the decorations and booths appears elsewhere. Here's hoping that the Elks each night might have a brfegcr crowd than the night proceeding. .
