NEWS OF THE THEATERS
Theatrical Calendar. GENNETT. March 8 May Irwin. March 9 "A Romance of Coon Hollow." PHILLIPS. Entire Week High class vaudeville.
Vaudeville at the Phillips. There is certainly a big dime's worth at the New Phillips in vaudeville this week, as the bill includes a piano overture, two comedy sketches, much singing and dancing, trick piano playing, tambourine juggling, motion pictures and illustrated songs. Kut it is not the quantity that appeals to the audiences this week, but the quality, and from this standpoint it is conceded that no bill in recent weeks has had this one beaten or even equalled. Manley & Sterling, popular songsters, in an original sketch, have been given a reception that has pernors never been excelled at the New Phillips, and Delmonio &. Belle, are scarcely, if any, behind them in popularity, while the other features get their full share of the public's ap proval.

merit. Such is "A nominee of Coon
Lovers of the saw dust circles, red
lemonade, vari-colored balloons and side shows will have occasion to get their fill of all this May 11, the date set for the appearance of the great
Barnum & Bailey circus in this city
The circuses last year gave Richmond the cold shoulder during the earlier part of the season, but that this city has again entered the list of those stamped "good" in circus jour-
rials, will.be evidenced by the early appearance of the Barnum & Bailey
aggregation here. Contracts Were Let.
R. M. Harvey, the advance agent for
the company, was here yesterday and
signed all local contracts. Wm. Hill & Company secured the. feed contract, calling for seven tons of hay, six tons of straw, 225 bushels of oats and 600 pounds of bran, which is one of the largest feed contracts ever let in the
city. Says Is Great Show..
In speaking of the show Mr. Harvey
stated that a greater circus was nev er got together and Richmond resi dents would certainly get their mon
ey's worth. Many new features have
been added to the show since it ap
peared in this city several years ago, probably the largest of which is the
free street parade. More money has been spent by the owners of the show
on this one feature than any other, al
tnough none has been neglected, the
agent says.

GIRL NOT ABDUCTED;
LOCATED IN MARION
Amelia Schmitt, the missing Lo
gansport girl, whose presence in Richmond was noted Sunday, has been located at Marion. A dispatch
from there says:
Amelia Schmitt, the 14-year-old , girl who was supposed to have been abducted from her home in Logansport
last Wednesday, was today located in this city. She was found at the home of Mrs. Rachel Hollingsworth, where she had sought employment. The girl instead of being kidnaped, left home
of her own accord.
She came direct to Marion, and
when she appeared at the Hollingsworth home she said she lived in Lo-
gansport, that her parents were dead
and that she wanted a place to live
and work. Her prepossessing appear
ance and bright face attracted Mrs, Hollingsworth. and she finally took
her into her home. When Mrs. Hol
lingsworth heard of the mysterious
(lisiinnearance of' the Kirl from Lo-
gansport she notified the local police of her presence here. The girl was returned to Logansport. The fact that she once told of being approached by an old man who wanted to take her away from Logansport was the foundation for the supposition that she had been kidnaped.

PROFIT APPARENT IN , TRACTION BUSINESS That there is money in the traction business is fully evinced by the report given out at the annual meeting of the Indiana Union Traction Company, which was held at Anderson yesterday. It will be noted that several of the men who are interested in the Richmond property are also in the Union company. The report from Anderson says:
The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Indiana Union Traction Company and its allied interests was held in the general offices of the company in this city today. The meeting was not largely attended, the business being transacted chiefly by proxy. The last year has been an unusually profitable one for the company, and it was decided there will be no radical
changes or departures in the management of affairs from those which
have prevailed during the last year. The following Board of Directors was elected for 'the Indiana Union Traction Company: Randall Morgan, J. Levering Jones and H. H. Kingston of Philadelphia, Pa., W. Kelsey and Jacob Schoepf, Cincinnati. O.; Hugh McGowan, Indianapolis , George F. McCulloch. Muncie, and Arthur Brady, Anderson. The financial statement submitted to stockholders is as follows: Gross earnings for year, $1,943,101.S3; operating expenses for year, $995,266.23; gross earnings less oper
ating expenses, J947,Js3a.o8; fixed charges, taxes, interest and stock dividends. $S32,332.75; surplus for year, $115,502.83. Richmond in Golf League. Marion.

Hannah-Jackson Telephone Company ' of Hancock County, Largely Owned ; by Farmers, to Be Sold This Month at Public Auction.
Greenfield, Ind., March 6. The Hancock circuit court has ordered Dr. Frank W. Cregor, of Carthage, receiver for the Hannah-Jackson Telephone company, to sell the plant at public auction in this city, March SO. This company was organized three years ago by Charles Hannah and John W. Jackson, of this city. The stockholders were principally farmers. A system was put in, extending over the county, and city, and long-distance arrangements were made with the Central Union Telephone company. The Morrison (Independent) compa
ny, for several .years, had controlled the greater part of the business in this city and county. The Hannah-Jack
son company cut the price of service
20 per cent., and gave free service to
all parts of the county. This caused
the Morrison company to follow suit
relative to county service, the result being free service over both lines to
the remotest parts of the county
The instruments for the Hannah-
Jackson company were supplied by the Central Union company, at the be
ginning.
The receipts were not sufficient to
carry expenses, or else the. management was bad, for several months ago
the stockholders grew tired of meet
ing assessments, and Coleman Poe ap
plied for a receiver. Dr. Cregor was
appointed, and he has conducted the
business for nearly a year. He en
deavored to effect a private sale of
the plant, but failed.
Citizens have been much concerned over the fate of the company, fearing the result would be as before, with
only one company in the field. The present rate of service in this city is $12 and $15 a year by the Hannah-
Jackson company, and $15 for resi
dences and $20 for business houses by
the Independent company. Business men, as a rule, however, would prefer
to pay one company a higher rate than
be obliged to keep two phones.

Refuse to Pay Damages. The county commissioners yester
day refused to pay damages on the
proposed road in the south end of the
city from Liberty avenue to the Boston road. This road was petitioned for by the South Side Improvement association, which agreed to pay damages for the building of the road. A
delegation representing the associa
tion appeared before the commissioners this morning and stated that the association would be unable to pay the
damages allowed, which amount to
$541, a.nd asked that the county meet
this expense. The commissioners promptly turned down the proposition
and the road will not be built unless
the association lives up to its agree
ment to pay the damages.
A petition from Salem church.
which is located northwest of the city, between here and Hagerstown, for the
incorporation of a cemetery association was presented to the commissioners and was granted. The commissioners transacted some other routine
business.
WILL TRY TO INTEREST
LOCAL AUT0M0BILISTS Frederick H. Elliott, secretary of
the American Automobile association, and a member of th8 Auto club of
Syracuse, N. Y. will visit the members of the Auto club of Wayne coun
ty, in this city next week, in order to interest them In the organization of
a state association in Indiana. The object of the organization is to perpetuate the motto of the majority of the automobile clubs of the country, namely, good roads and streets. The auto enthusiasts all over the country are at the present time, through, the medium of their organizations, bringing pressure to bear upon the governments of the several states for better roads. Already the good roads movement has reached enviable proportions and is destined to grow to even a greater extent. . Will Discuss Tour. It is probable that the Glldden tour will be discussed at the meeting between Mr. Elliott and the Wayne county autoists. Local men are taking great interest in this trip and will bring every pressure to bear upon the j larger association to have the party i
stop in Richmond, at least one night.
According to the statement of a member of the local association j-es-terday the party will no doubt stop in this city, as it will leave Cincinnati on a morning, and will not endeavor to go. on to Indianapolis the same day.
LYING TO A DRUGGIST IS MADE AN OFFENSE Indianapolis, March 6 The man who lies to a druggist in order to get
a drink of whisky may be fined and Imprisoned, according to a bill passed by the Senate yesterday afternoon. This provision was placed in the Beardsley bill, which sought to modify some of the stringent provisions in the Ganiard blind tiger law concerning' the ' saTeor liquor by druggists. The friends of temperance legislation formulated an amendment to the Beardsley bill, which was finally accepted by the author and the druggists, but which the temperance advocates believe, will still catch the drug store which really does a saloon business. Senator E. E. Moore submitted the amendment, he having been instrumental in bringing the warring factions together. The bill allows a druggist to sell liquor in quantities less than a quart for medicinal, industrial or scientific purposes upon the written (not printed or typewritten) prescription of a reputable physician, or upon the written and signed application of any other person who is personally known to the druggist, and whom he knows to be a person not In the habit of using intoxicating liquors as a beverage. Such person must state in his written application that the liquor desired is to be used for medicinal, scientific or educational purposes and upon making the sale
the druggist must indorse in writing on the application a statement that,
in his opinion, the liquor desired by
the patron is for the purpose stated.
Or liquor may be sold on the written application of a superintendent of
a hospital or educational institution
where such liquor is used solely for medicinal or educational purposes. Un
der no circumstances may liquor be
sold to be drank on the premises. Per
sons must sign their true names to
the applications, which shall be dated and kept on file a year. There rhall
bevbut one sale on each application or
prescription.
The penalty for the first offense by
the druggist shall be a fine of from
$50 to $100, for the second offense a
fine of from $50 to $200 and the com
pulsory revocation of his license by
the court.
A person making a false or mislead
ing statement to obtain liquor, or using it as a beveage, may be fined from $25 to $50 for the first offense, and on second conviction may be imprisoned not more than thirty days.
