The second day of the Palladium and Sun-Telegram Jamestown exposition contest shows Miss Elizabeth Hershey of Mary Brothers' store to be In the lead in point of the number of votes cast. Howard Thomas, the popular clerk at the Emmons tailoring company is second in the number of votes and heads his class. He is closely followed by Harry Buntin, of the Fox Clothing company who looks good to make a strong race. The contest is being taken hold of by the school children with great enthusiasm. Every child seems to be working for his favorite teacher. It looks as if it were to be room against room and school against school. Most of the ballots which were received for the teachers were written in a childish hand, showing that the children are doing the "plugging' themselves. None of the teachers has a very heavy vote as yet. Prof. W. O. Wissler of the Garfield gets the largest vote thus far. The ballots cast for him are entirely complimentary. He has made no effort to get votes.. If Prof. Wissler should decide to make an active campaign for the prize he would no doubt stand a good show. It is surprising the popularity tre contest has already gained. A number of persons, whose names do not appear in the vote report for the day have come to the Palladium and Sun Telegram office to carefully ascertain the conditions of the contest and intend to make a hard fight for the privilege of making the trip. One young man who works in a shop said, "This looks to me like a business proposition. I am not going to wait for my friends to cast votes voluntarily for me. I am going out after them and I am going hard, I will have a vote before the week is Continued on page 2.

A BOOST -INTHE PRICES Chicago Sunday Papers May Charge 7 Cents. EXAMINER MAKES MOVE. Chicago newspapers may raise their Sunday price from 5 cents to 7 cents a copy. The Chicago Examiner bepan Sunday, April 7, with a 7 -cent paper. Other Chicago newspapers, with the exception of the Chicago Tribune, It is said, are ready to fall in line and make a similar increase in the price for the heavy Sunday issue. It is asserted that it costs the Chicago Examiner S cents each to put its Sunday paper. in the hands of the dealer. It is stated also, that the Chicago Tribune pays 1 cent a copy to put its paper on the stands each Sunday. For instance, the April 7 edition of that paper weighed 26' ounces per copy. The express charge was ?i of a cent a copy. . News dealers will report to their papers as to the Examiner's new price, and as to its effect on sales. The result of the experiment Is to be the lais for action by other Chicago papers. The New York papers have long charged 7 cents a copy for their Sunday issues.

FOR FAVORITE TEACHERS

Total up-to-date .$63,322.00 . 1,107.50 .$66,429.50 "Are you Mr. Brow n?" said a stranger who walked into the Y. M. C. A. headquarters. "Yes," replied the secretary of the local Y. M. C. A. campaign. 'Well, what I want to know is, will country boys benefit by the Y. M. C. A. and will they be allowed to join the association when it is established in this city?" "Most assured'," said the secretary. "That is one of the fields in which the Y. M. C. A. works. Country boys are always welcome." "Well, then jrn may put my father down for a subscription of $500, toward the cause, as he wishes to help the work in this city. His name is John G. Townsend of Chester and he will give that amount providing nine other Richmond people give like sums." The little dialogue between the stranger and Secretary Brown took place at the local headquarters Monday and with the announcement of the gift by a resident of an outside town, and of such an amount, the members of the various committees have taken courage and state that there should be no trouble in securing nine other $300 subscriptions. The interest manifested by Mr. Townsend is noteworthy and illustrates that others in Wayne county are interested in the present campaign and hoping for its success.. Mr. Townajnd has no children who will be directly benefited, but he will have the pleasure of seeing others helped by his gift. Only forty four subscriptions toward the Y. M. C. A. fund up to date have been above $100. No new subscriptions have been added to the Henley -$2,500 offer as yet, but the executive committee is working along this line. Standing of the Squads.

GOVERNOR HAIILY IS DANGEROUSLY SICK

He Has Been Ordered to Go to Bed and Remain There For Three Weeks HAS A STOMACH TROUBLE. UNLESS GIVEN PROPER ATTENTION IT IS LIKELY TO DEVELOP INTO CANCER NOT WORRIED OVER ATTACKS. Indianapolis, April 9. Governor J. Frank Hanly is dangerously ill at his home here. The family physician. Dr. Goar, today called into consultation Dr. Scherr, a stomach specialist, and the patient was immediately given orders to go to bed and stay there for at least three weeks. Absolutely no business of any kind is to be given attention and must not be mentioned to the governor according to the command of these physicians. The governor is suffering from stomach trouble, which, if not given proper attention may turn into a cancerous affection. Physicians say the only hope of the governor ever getting well is that he remain absolutely quiet. Friends of the governor claim that attacks made upon him by his old friends ., including the public press of the state, have not any thing to do with his present sickness. It has been reported the 'governor was wor ried over this but this is flatly denied. THREE PASTORS SING Unusual Feature of United Brethren Revival. An appreciative audience was present Monday evening to hear the sermon preached by Rev. G. T. Powell of West Manchester, O. He took for his text, Rom. 1:10. The theme was the dynamite of the gospel. He spoke of the beautiful life of the great apostle and the wonderful effect the gospel was having upon the world and the pressing need of its influence' ,upon our lives at the present time. Rev. O. F. Bilger of New Hope, O., sang a beautiful solo. "How Near to My. Heart." He was a singing' evangelist for 15 years. - lie is an ace -plished musician. He will preside at the pipe organ tonight and will sing another solo. An unusual feature in the meeting last night was that three ministers sang a song to-; gether. It is not often that one can' hear three ministers In a revival whose voices will harmonize. A male quartet will sing this evening. Every-j one is invited to come and assist in! the good work. C. M. Jenkins on Program. The Indiana Stata Optical Society Is meeting at Indianapolis today. An illustrated lecture on "Diseases of the Kye." will be given by C. M. Jenkins, of Richmond.

THAW'S OPTIMISM IS NOT SHARED BY COURT OFFICIALS

They Believe the Jury Will Be Hopelessly Divided as to His Guilt or Innocence of Murder Charge. DISAGREEMENT WOULD MEAN ANOTHER TRIAL. Delmas Resumed His Address And Pictured the Self-sacrifice of Evelyn in Her Treatment of Thaw. New York, April 9. Attorney Delmas, for Thaw, continued his peroration at the morning session, having said he would finish by the noon recess. District Attorney Jerome is suffering from a cold and said he would ask for continuance until tomorrow when lie will take three or four hours to sum up. As the long drawn out trial comes to a close little else is discussed in New York. Habitues about the court house do not share Thaw's optimism about the verdict. They believe the jury is hopelessly divided and that a new trial will be necessary. , Delmas Resumes Speech. Delmas began with: "Gentlemen I shall relieve the long Suspense of many weeks and so far as the defense is concerned shall place this c"ase in your hands." He then referred briefly to how he had shown the early life of Evelyn, her meeting with White, i , t. . i i . . t. v : . 1 . . . . . , . . t f mg witn maw and now in evidence he had endeavored to analyze the evi -

T was not referring to it as the only thing I unmiHdful of the grcat nicn who uad against Evelyns story.

and upon the testimony of this con victed felon, whom he examined when proof of his perjury was open betore him, ask twelve men to return a verdict that would make this young wife a widow. You do believe it in your hearts for you know no human imagination could have invented the rtory of Evelyn Thaw; that no actress day iiiier uay cuuia nave siuou an uie tricks known to lawyers to break down the witness unles3 the story were true." , I shall now try to depict the effect that story had on the mind of Harry Thaw. I shall prove it from his wife's statements. She says, 'lie said that no right-minded person would blame me, that I was only a poor, unfortunate girl, but that in spite' of what happened he intended to marry me any way. I told him it was not right because Stanford White's friends knew of it and that they would sneer at him and that it would hurt him with his family. I wanted to marry him but I loved him too much to let him make that sacrifice.' Was Sublime Renunciation. "A sublime renunciation, says the sneering district attorney. Yes it is a sublime sacrifice that a poor girl, earning her living by the hard work of an artist's model and actress should refuse a rich man's offer of marriage. "It may be," continued Delmas, "that a man cannot rise to the heighth of self sacrifice and self abnegation, but thank God, the creator placed in the nobler, more tender breast of womankind the power to rise to those heights. When this power appears in our daughters it becomes more of r homes; when ifappears in our wives it becomes the balm of our lives." Delmas then clinched his assertion that the story was true by reading from one of Thaw's letters to Attorney Longfellow, the original of which is in possession of Jerome, in which Thaw said that he had proposed but that the girl turned him down because she 'didn't want to drag me down. Would Not Lower Thaw.

"Yes it was a sublime renuncia- j ato from DePauw university, an Inditioa" explained Delmas. "In ler lit-!ana ROn anl s glad to get back home.

The moment jou think it best I will go back to my sad, dreary life and you to your mother and sisters. While I drop lower and lower until like so many others I disappear." "That is all," said Delmas. "She would not marry him because she would thus shut him out of the society to which he had been accustomGil. Oh. sublime renunciation. Sordid men may not rise to such conception, bot I say again, thank God, woman can." v

I have been able to hold every quarterly conference in the district, without a ainglu exception. . b,Bh last as U)e author,(y vt j. i . u of excellency set up, by them.

"Such a glorious winding up" was the triumphant note of this mother in Iv raeL Was But One Vacancy. "Before leaving the seat of the conference, every charge had a pastor appointed to it except Spartanburg, a new circuit of three points formerly belonging to the Lynn conference. I secured Everett E. Naftzger. son of Dr. Naftzger, to supply the charge. So well did be do his work that his return is asked for another year. Early in September, Brother C. Turner Jonen pastor of Saratoga, secured a tranrfer to the Wilmington conference. His place was filled by the transfer of T. P. Walter from the Cincinnati conference. Brother Walter is a graduiransrer to tne Qragan conference. In choosing one for his p?ace, the lot fell upon Paul P. Truitt, a local preacher. (Continued On Page Four.) ' Inter-Academic Contest.
