Richmond newspaper. Mr. Demas Coe. who will handle the legislature for the Indianapolis News, will also write a daily letter for the Palladium. Mr. Coe leaves for Indianapolis this morning and his letters will commence at once. The Palladium is especially fortunate m getting the services of Mr. Coe for he is not only familiar with legislative work, but will be in position to view the work of the law makers from a local standpoint. He will pay especial attentioi to Wayne's representatives in the legislature, watching their stand on all measures and reporting U to ihe readers of the Palladium. In addition to the daily letters ;y Mr. Coe, the Palladium will have a general news service covering the legislature. Readers of the Palladium are certain to miss nothing that takes place In the legislative halls of the State capitol In tho next two months.

wnereny only the deserving poor of the city can receive aid from those bodies. The members of the organizations have long felt the need of arriving at some means- whereby their work would not overlap. In many instances In the past several months those per

sons relying on charitable societies

for aid, have approached one organ

ization arter the other, for help, and as a result, have been able to secure

really a greater amount of help than

tney were entitled to, while perhaps some of their needier brothers were

obliged to remain unhelped. Several members of the different organizations, whose purpose It I, to help these persons, feel that the only way in which all of the separate bodies can keep in close touch with the poor is to form the local Associated Charities Hoard, with one member from each society. n this way all would be kept in close contact with the work and Imposters and "spongers" would meet their fate. Heretofore the Penny club has supplied clothing to the poor, the Flower Mission has taken in upon itself to supply the sick with all the dainties and cheering things of life; the township trustee. Salvation Army, and

the Associated Charities have supplied the poorand distressed with food and clothing, while the Women s Relief Corps has done its work among the old soldiers and their wives. All of the work is done along different lines and it is thought that by creating some central officiating body such

as tne Associated Charities, placing

a member or each society on the roll, more efficient and far-reaching work can be accomplished in the long run. The idea of establishing a registration bureau, whereby all the names of the worthy poor, as well as the unworthy, could be placed, is also being agitated, andmay be carried out in

inaction with the other scheme.

dividend was doubled and the Southern Pacific stock was placed on a five per cent, basis, which precipitated a sensational stock market advance. It appeared from the records that Mr. Harriman, as hairman, had recommended that in view of the absence of several of the directors of

both roads announcement of the divi

dends be deferred until they could be Informed. The executive commitee was authorized to take such a time as it deemed proper for the announcement. The secretary of the Harriman companies was later directed to' notify the New York stock exchange authorities before the beginning of business on August 17. It seemed from the questioning of

lawyer Kellogg that the government attorney was endeavoring to bring out ttha the delay in the announcement was not so much for the purpose of notifying absent directors as some other reason, perhaps stock market reasons.

proposition. The cause is such a timely one, , however, that favorable action is anticipated. Most of the councilmen have already expressed themselves as being in f3Vj- of the' improvement as sugges'ed by Mr. Walterman and 'endorsed by Mayor Schillinger. The markets of the city have been closed for the winter, thep not reopening until June 4. In the meantime it Is hoped that the Improvements will be made. Marketmaster Walterman said yesterday: "We ought to have new cement walks surrounding the South

Side market, and a new cement floor

on the inside of the building.

"I believe, however, that in addition

to this there should be a rocf placed over the sidewalk, giving thtsf; pri

sons selling on the market better ac

commodations from the rain and in

clement weather. The city could then

exact a higher rent for booth privi

leges and would more than make back

the entire expense of thl3 one im

provement. A sum of 6G0 was taken In during the past year on booth

rentals. There is no reason why

Richmond can not have the best mar

ket In the Sftate for a city of her size. Mr. Walterman said that in hi3 opinion it would take at least $1.000 to complete the improvements, which would give Richmond excellent markets, and encourage the farmers to bring their produce to the city market-houses. -
