Lacey for $3,000 fees which Lacey avers are due him for his services in the capacity of a tax ferret: The case has been pending several years and is now on the docket of the Randolph county circuit court having been sent to that county on a change of venue. There Is no question that Major Lacey had a contract with Wayne county to locate sequestered taxable property but it is alleged that by the terms of the contract he was to have devoted himself to the looking up of such property outside of the county which should be listed here. However, Major Lacey turned up certain property in the form of stock in a foreign corporation, held by Richmond residents. He listed the property and after a legal battle to determine whether It should be taxable here or in the state where the corporation was listed, it was decided that it should be placed oa the Wayne county duplicate. Payment- was refused Lacey on the ground that under the con tract he was not entitled to fees for listing property which he had found j in Wayne county. Lacey brought

Publishers" Press. "Washington, D. C. Dec. 13. The President has capitulated to the rational legislators, who ever since con gress convened, have been opposing the simplified spelling order which the President made during the summer recess. Representative Landis, of Indiana, chairman of the House Committee of Printing, explained that this was the reason why there was scarcely any opposition in the House this afternoon to the adoption of a resolution ordering the public printer to at once stop the use of the three hundred simplified words which are now be ing used in all reports and documents which form tho executive depart ments. Mr. Landis says the President has agreed to issue an executive order withdrawing the previous one, if the Senate adopts the resolution which has just passed the lower body.

The tramps became very abusive and threatened the watchman but the watchman finally proved to them that the Richmond Manufacturing company was no hostelry but if they wanted work they could get it the next day. At the mention of the word work, the tramps turned and hastily and ran down the railroad track, while the watchman resumed his lonesome beat unmolested.

STAMPS HER FOOT III GREAT AUGER

Mrs. Walthour Pleads with Husband to Quit the Six Day Bicycle Race. HER EFFORTS ALL IN VAIN DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY WERE PENALIZED A LAP, WALTHOUR AND BEDELL FIGHT HARD TO WIN. Publishers Prpss. New York, Dec. 13. Stamping her foot with rage, Mrs. Walthour, wife of the famous bicycle rider, begged and pleaded with her husband thi afternoon to stop riding in the six day contest in Madison Square Garden Walthour's final attempt to gain the lap which separated him and his part ner from the leaders in the race, which was absolutely successful, but was not allowed by the management be cause of a trifling accident to another rider, has so enraged both men that they may retire at any hour. Wal thour, however, was deaf to his wife's pleadings, saying that he only thought it right to continue, as so many friends had bet on him to win the contest. This was only one of several inci dents during the day. Earlier in the day Samuelson's partner, Hollister of the Mormon team, received a bad spill, which incapacitated him from the race and as Vanoni, the Italian who had been doing good work all the week, also received injuries which compelled him to retire, Samuelson and Breton formed a new team, and were therefore, accorrliing to the rules penalized a lap which placed them on even terms with Walthour and Bedell Desperate Fighting. Desperately fighting to regain the lap which they were penalized, Wal thour and Bedell today gave the spec tators several exhibitions of the fast est sprinting ever witnessed in an indoor long distance race at Madison Square Garden. They forced the oth er riders to work their hardest to keep the favorites from lapping them, and but for hard luck would undoubtedly have captured first place. Their won derful sprinting resulted in pushing Galvin and" Wiley, the "farmer mes senger boy team" back to last place. three laps behind the leaders. Galvin and Wiley are the two young est riders in the race and the terrible strain of the succession of sprints told on them so much that they were compelled to slow up in tho last one and were passed three times by; the bunch in less than a mile. On the face of what has happened it appears that the management real izes that Walthour and Bedell are the big men on the card, aill that if they keep them a lap behind the crowds will continue to pay to get into the Garden to see them sprint. This is the most successful six day race ever held. It was necessary tonight to call out the police reserves to control the crowd that tried to get into the garden. Rifrjig was in order and never in the history of six day racing has the Interest been so pronounced It is estimated tonight that the man agement will clear $50,000 on the week. TO CONTINUE LECTURES Friends of the University Extension Course Had Good Meeting Last Night. The more enthusiastic members of the committee who have the arrangement of the University Extension course in their control met last night at Supt. Mott's office in the Garfield school, to determine whether or not the course should be offered this year. It was decided that Walter Luring, who last year greatly contributed to th course by selling tickets, should again start the work of getting subscriptions for the course to be offered this year. He w ill begin his work at once, and it is thought that the peo ple will respond liberally to tho ven ture. As jet the committee has not de cided upon the speaker, but as stated in a recent issue of the Palladium. Prof. J. H. Raj'mond of Chicago, who gave the course last year, will probably be called upon to deliver his series of lectures on the large European Capitals. E. F. Sparks, professor of American History of Chicjvgo University, is also being considered. Dr. Sparks' series of lectures deal with the different phases of American History an'i the great questions and influences that have dominated the development of the United States. , Dr. T. H. Moulton, also of Chicago University, is being considered. His lectures deal with astronomy and are said to be gems of their kind. In case Dr. Raymond is selected, the lecture course will begin some time in February. First Annual Dance. The Denver Brown Camp, Number 20, United States War Veterans will hold their first annual ball Tuesday evening, December ISth at the I. O. O. F. hall.

Inasmuch as the calendar of the criminal court is filled to April 1, the prisoner may have to remain in jail until that time before she can face a jury. WAYNE COUNTY WILL BE WELL REPRESENTED The farmers of Wayne county proba bly will be largely represented at the three agricultural meetings to be held at Indianapolis on January 8 to 10, un der the auspices of the State Board of Agriculture.

Matters pertaining to all phases of these matters will be discussed and a number of addresses will be made. D. O. Dilling, of Hagerstown, will read a paper on the subject, "Compensation of Mutual Insurance Officers and Agents." L. S. BOWMAN Oil "USE OF CEMENT" Jefferson Township Trustee Reads Interesting Paper on the Subject. SOME HISTORIC FACTS SHOWN THAT THE ANCIENTS AS WELL AS MODERNS USED HIGHLY VALUABLE MATERIAL TO AN ADVANTAGE. Tj. S. Bowman, trustee of Jefferson township, read a most entertaining paper before the trustees of the county at the meeting held yesterday in this city, his subject being "The Use of Cement." Trustee Bowman showed that he had made a very thorough study of his subject, both as to the ancient and modern use of cement and he rather startled some of his hearers by presenting unquestioned authority for the statement that in the days of ancient Rome some of the most mag nlncent structures wnicn nave sur vived centuries, were composed in part or in whole of a material which probably was very much like the con crete structures of modern days. Mr Bowman traced the build! tg evolu tion to show that it has only been in very recent years that cement has become general f' used and iie presented statistics to show that during the present years construction work over the entire country, probably ten times more cement was used than the , year previous. In local application of his subject, Mr. Bowman showed the good re sults that have followed the use of cement for culvert and bridge con struction in Wayne county and he advocated its general use. In the dis cussion, m winch most or the trustees participated, it was shown that the same nigh regard which Mr. Bowman has for the use of cement was unanimously shared by the township officers and many of the speakers told of their experiences In this sort of construction.

It was given in celebration of the successful indoor fair and it was perhaps the most delightful and elaborate social session that tne local lodge has ever held.

At the business session, which preceded the social features, Frank 1. Braffet, Exalted Ruler, appointed a building committee which will look into the building proposition and iu due time will report, the result of its investigations to the lodge.

Horace Starr, of Indianapolis, formerly of Richmond and a member of Richmond lodge, talked on "The Signliicauce' of True Elkdom." J. Bennett Gordon, of the Item, was assigned the subject: "Our New Home," and he gave convincing argument as to why the time was now ripe for the Elks of Richmond to take up the task of providing for themselves a homo of their own and one which will bra a credit to the city as well as to tlm fraternity. Mayor Schillinger closed the period of speechmaklng with a few remarks congratulating the lodge on its progressiveness. Music figured in the evening's festivities to a great extent.
