JESSUP'S RAID PROVED
TUMBLING
RUMORS
Matt Shew Was Willing to Quit His Games. ASKED BUT SQUARE DEAL Judging from the results of the raid juade Tuesday by Prosecutor Jessup and Sheriff Meredith on the saloons in Cambridge City, the reports that gambling was being permitted in these places were well founded. Sheriff Meridith states that in one saloon the proprietor was notified over a dice table that gambling must be stopped In his resort. Every saloon in the town was visited and in the majority of them it was discovered that gambling games of various kinds were offered to the patrons with easy money. As the officers would walk into the front doors of these saloons there would be a parade of game keepers with their gaming tables out the rear doors. Two poker tables were found by the officers, and these were ordered destroyed. Shew Was Willing. At the Matt Shew saloon the proprietor told the officers that he would close down his gambling games if the authorities would "be on the square" with him and make all the other gambling places in town go out of business. Mr. Shew hinted that if the authorities "played any favorites" he would keep his games going. Sheriff Meredith and Prosecutor Jessup informed him that the order to cut out gambling applied to each and every gambling house in the town. "Tin Horns" Disappointed. On the car the county officers took to Cambridge City there were several "tin horns" from Eaton and other Ohio points who were bound for Cambridge City to reap a rich harvest from the horsemen. When they learned that Cambridge City was a closed town they said many uncomplimentary thing about the "lid." On the car on which the sheriff and prosecutor returned to Richmond was a man with a Klondike game. He made a quick entrance to Cambridge City and a quicker exit. STOOD IN AWE OF JAIL Colored Men Did Not Want to Enter Place Where Prisoners Had Committed Suicide. "There ain't no law that makes a man go to jail where somebody has hung himself," protested -a colored man Monday evening when he was arrested and led down the street. Police officers state that the city jail has a most evil name among a certain class of men who have, the habit of occasionally entangling themselves with the law. Two men have hung themselves in the grim prison and it is now regarded as haunted. When some colored men are placed behind the bars of the city jail sleepless nights are spent and they demand prompt trials in the city court so that tr-y can be transferred to the county Jail. A policeman states that a few nights ago a colored prisoner insisted on raising a disturbance in the city jail which kept his fellow prisoners awake. Finally the officer went back to the jail and pointing to one of the four steel cells, remarked: "Do you see that last cell well it was on the top bars of that cell that the last man who hung himself here was found. Now if you don't quit raising this racket I am going to put you in that cell." It is needless to state that the silence of the grave pervaded the jail the remainder of the night. ROOM BEING FITTED UP New Banking Concern Getting Ready for Business Will Occupy Room cf James Griffin. The new Richmond Trust company will open its temporary headquarters to the public during the month of April, according to the present expectations. The new firm will use the rooms recently occupied by the Nippon Japanese art store and owned by James P. Griffin. The room is now being overhauled and the furniture for the new banking room will be installed by Louck and Hill. That the headquarters will be only temporary is further substantiated by the statement of one of the directors yesterday who said that as soon as the lease held by A. M. Jenkins on his present jewelry store room expires, which would be about one year, the Richmond Trust company will occupy that room. When asked whether the McDonnell drug store site would also be used and the whole of the downstairs portion of the block taken by the trust company and the Second National bank, he said that such would not be the case as the two firms would be conducted separately and not jointly, as many people of the city have been led to think by erroneous reports. Two New Automobilists. Guy Gotshall of Richmond, has purchased a 1907 Wayne touring car from the Capital Auto Company of Indianapolis, the machine to be delivered the first of April. E. F. McConaha. of Richmond, has also purchased a 1907 Wayne touring car of the Capital Company and will drive the new car home this week. Don't think that piles can't be currd.

Goforth and Doyle at the N NEWS OF THE THEATERS Theatrical Calendar. GENNETT. March 16 Geo. Adams in "Humpty Dumpty" Matinee and night. March 23 "The Illusion of Beatrice." PHILLIPS. Entire Week High class vaudeville. Vaudeville at the Phillips. It will not be necessary to go again into detailed comment on the program that is being presented in vaudeville at the New Phillips this week, as each performer has been given notice in a previous article, but it is desired to call the attention of the public to the fact that the bill is highly meritorious and that all who care in the least for this style of entertainment should not fail to attend. "Humpty Dumpty" at the Gennett. For Saturday afternoon and night the Gennett management has secured the ever-popular "Humpty-Dumpty," the production to be put on by what is said to be one of the best companies that has ever undertaken Its production. All the leading roles will be in capable hands and the costuming and stage settings are of the very best and most appropriate throughout. "Papa's Boy" Gennett. Announcement is made of the appearance here March 19 at the Gennett of one of the great musical successes of the present year i. e. "Papa's Boy," introducing the droll comedians, Baker and Wardell, supported ty a large and clever company. The comedy is bright and sparkling, while the musical numbers ;fve of the whistlable variety to be heard on the streets for long afterwards. "The Time, the Place and the Girl." The scene of "The Time the lace and the Girl" which comes to the Gennett soon, is laid in the mountains of Virginia at a "rest cure" whither Happy Johnny Hicks, and his pal, Tom Cunningham, have fled from the result of an escapade of Cunningham's in a gambling house in Boston. The complexities of the plot occur while the rest cure is in a state of quarantine with the servants all absent. The guests are forced to do the work themselves a condition that inspires mutiny among some of them. Of course there is a pretty love story. Maude F"ealy Gennett. The forthcoming engagement of Maude Fealy at the Gennett March 23, is of more than ordinary interest, in that her appearance this season harks the young woman's first tour as a star. Miss Maude Fealy is probably one of the most widely known players in Europe or America for a woman of her years. She is justly called the youngest star on the American stage, and to earn the much coveted niche in the stellar theatrical firmament, she has to her credit a season as leading woman with the late Sir Henry Irving, two seasons in the same position with William Gillette, a year with E. S. Willard and a notable success as Eunice in "Quo Vadis" when that production was first made at the New York theatre. ACHING HEAD WAS ALL HE HAD AS EVIDENCE Oscar Frame Tuesday evening imbibed much red-eye and when arrested by Officer Westenberg at the cqrner of Fifth and Main streets Frame was leading a horse and rig north on South Fifth street, whooping every step he took like a Sioux Indian. In the rig was an unknown drunk in a total state of collapse. Officer Westenberg marched Frame to the city jail and entrusted the horse, rig and unknown "souse" -to two or three men who witnessed the arrest. These men were told to take the outfit to the city building. However, when the horse and rig arrived there the "souse" was missing. Water Wagon for Him. Frame is a hard working man and rarely indulges in liquor, and he stated yesterday that from this time on it was the water wagon for him. He stated that he could remember nothing of his night's adventures and that the only evidence he had that he had been celebrating was a badly aching head. He said that he did not know who his friend in the rig was, and that he thought the horse and rig belonged to a North Seventh street livery barn. He was fined $1 and costs and paid his fine.

Indianapolis, March 13 Those who have been scanning recent legislation are wondering just now whether it was with a purely benevolent motive that a measure was introduced and passed through both Houses of the General Assembly which permits railroads to sell liquor on buffet cars after first having procured a $ 1,000 license. When this measure was being considered it was pointed out that it would bring $26,000 in revenue to the State, but it is declared now that the railroads were frightened by the Ganiard blind tiger law and it was for that reason that they were so willing to agree to pay a $1,000 license fee. Another dire possibility has been discovered in this $1,000 license bill which was introduced in the Senate by Senator Rome Stephenson, a railroad attorney. It is declared that the bill, as drawn, will permit railroads to establish saloons at any city in the State. The bill merely provides that railroads selling liquor on buffet cars shall pay to the State a $1,000 license fee for each year. There is nothing in the bill, it is cited, to prohibit railroads from running their buffet cars off on sidetracks at any town and dong a land office retail business. ARE GETTING TOGETHER Louisville Commercial Club Making an Effort to Have the Street Car ' Strike Settled. Louisville, Ky., March 13. The business organizations of the city met at the commercial club at 10:30 and with a committee from the striking motornfen and conductors called on the mayor at the city hall. An effort will be made to have officials of the Louisville railway company meet a similar body from the strikers. The business men of the city demand arbitration. Three cars were run on the Second street line today, and 25 mounted police guarded them against possible attack. No attempt was made to interfere with them. PLUNGED TO DEATH DOWN 13 STORIES Cincinnati, March 13. A deliberate suicide, entailing sensational features, occurred early today. Miss Gertrude Harmish, 20, a stenographer in the office of Charles Williams, 1308 Traction building, leaped from the window of Williams' office on the thirteenth floor, landing in Walnut street, a bruised and battered mass, but still breathing. She was taken to the hospital, where she died. The girl entered an elevator and went to the thirteenth floor and then closed the door and locked it. She stepped out on the narrow ledge and plunged forward. Ill health is the supposed cause. Morgan Goes Abroad. New York, March 13. J. P. Morgan sailed today on his annual spring trip and may remain, away several months. Harriman announced today he will not meet with the railroad presidents with President Roosevelt at Washington, but will see the president at a later time. Civil Service Exams. The United States civil service commission will hold an examination April 10 at the postoffice building in Indianapolis to secure eligibles from which to select a teamster for duty on the Arlington experimental farm in Virginia. The position pays $600 a year. An examination will be conducted also for a magazine attendant to serve at the naval proving ground at Indian Head, Maryland.

LIST OF DEAD IS CUT - BY OFFICIAL REPORT
Admiral Marquis Says it Approximates 100. TORPEDO PRIMARY CAUSE Paris, March 13. Admiral Marquis this afternoon made an official report on the Jena disaster. He says the dead approximate one hundred. Four hundred and seven- officers and men aaswered the roll call today, eightyeight are in the hospitals and one hundred and seventy-five missing. Other reports say 346 members of the crew were admitted to hospitals. Torpedo Primary Cause. The primary cause of the accident was the explosion of a torpedo. What caused the explosion is not. known, but the powder magazines of the Jena were set on fire and their contents, in exploding practically destroyed what was considered one of the best vessels in the French navy. The Jena had just undergone a final inspection of her hull and machinery, the latter having been completely overhauled preparatory to joining the squadron tomorrow. The crew was in its! full strength, being composed of the rear admiral, twenty-four other officers and 630 men. The magazine had been replenished recently and contained many tons of both smokeless and Wack powder, as well as a number of charges for torpedoes. Panic on Deck. The crew had finished their midday meal only a short time before the explosion and had dispersed to various parts of the vessel. Most of the men were engaged in work connected with the approaching departure of the warship but quite a large party had been detailed to attend a lecture that was being given forward. NEVER GAVE HER A CENT Hattie Morgan of Cambridge City, Alleges that Her Husband Failed to Support Her. Hattie Morgan, of Cambridge City, has filed suit in the circuit court for divorce from Oliver Morgan. Mrs. Morgan in her complaint makes numerous charges, among them that her husband is a confirmed "loafer" and that she has had to take in washings to support him and herself. Mrs. Morgan states that Oliver has never contributed one cent toward her support and that he refused to work and looked to her for a living. She states that he treated her in a cruel and inhuman-manner and that on several occasions he had pointed a revolver at her head and threatened to kill her. She states that he had the unpleasant habit of sleeping with a loaded revolver under his pillow. Once, she says, he threatened to cut her throat and on another occasion he followed her to the home of her mother and then assaulted her, knocking her down. WILL ABANDON ACADEMY Morgan Park Proves an Unprofitable Venture and Rockefeller With draws Support. Morgan Park academy, the preparatory school branch of Chicago university in which John D. Rockefeller has invested $250,000, will be abandoned at the end of this school term. Such is the information that Edgar Needham and Warren Grubbs, of this city, who are students at Morgan Park academy, have written home to their relatives. Rockefeller is Tired. This costly institution is to be given up because it has not placed itself on a paying basis and the oil king is tired of "putting up" for its maintenance. Last week , the school boys, who are greatly wrought up by the abandonment of their alma mater, burned the effigy of the president o' Chicago and made other demonstrations. There is quite a number of Richmond young men who have attended school at Morgan Park academy and they are indignant over the oil king's action.' Handicapped by Sickness. Local shops and manufacturing establishments are all more or less handicapped by the number of employes who are sick. At no period in the past year has the working force been reduced as it is at the present time. Grip and colds are responsible for the long list of absentees. In speaking of the matter yesterday a local manufacturer said that It has been a long time since his force was as badly depleted as at the present time. He said however that nearly all the sickness with which his em ployes had to contend is of short dura tion. . - Place at Knollenberg's. D. W. Johnson, of Lima, O., has accepted the position of buyer and manager of the carpet department of the G. H. Knollenberg Company. Mr. Johnson is now in the city and has assumed his new duties. He is an experienced carpet man having been connected with large concerns at Lima, O., and Columbus, O., at which places he established an enviable reputation, both for judicious business methods and courtesy in dealing with the public. Next week he will go to Chicago and Cincinnati on business for his department. ArtlSdtH gas, the 20th Century fuel. 10-U
RAISED AGE TWO YEARS ESCAPING REFORMATORY
Robert Samuels Preferred Michigan City. HAD PLANNED TO ESCAPE When Robert Samuels, colored, plead guilty yesterday In the circuit court to a charge of embezzlement he gave his age as 32 years, so that he would be sentenced to the northern prison at Michigan City instead of the reformatory at Jeffersonville. A few days ago, so Pauper Attorney P. J. Freeman states, Samuels gave his age to him as 2S years because he thought that prison life at Jeffersonville would be more desirable, but after hearing the experiences of a man confined at the county jail who claimed to have "done time" at both Indiana institutions. Samuels decided to raise his age four years so that he would be sent to Michigan City. The veteran "time-server" had told Samuels that a man has much more liberty at the northern prison than he has at the Jeffersonville reformatory. The law requires that all convicted men over thirty years of age be confined at the Michigan City prison. ' From One to Five Years. Judge Fox sentenced Samuels from one to five years Imprisonment, fined him $10 and disfranchised him for two years. Sheriff Meredith will take Samuels to Michigan City Thursday or Friday. Samuels was convicted of embezzling about $50 from an old and helpless colored woman, Mary Ann Williams. He was arrested last week. Had Planned Escape. Samuels is regarded as a bad man by the police, and it was learned today that while he was confined at the city prison he tore down some leading piping and hid a piece of it with the evident intention of assaulting Trunkey Livelsberger In an effort to make an escape. It was promptly discovered what Samuels had done and the business end of a six-shooter induced him to give up hisleadly weapon. ATTY.
