School Teachers in the Small Towns About Richmond Get
Ballots From Patrons of
Their Schools.
MANY MORE CLERKS ARE ENTERED IN THE RACE.
All Classes Filling Up and Those Now Running Get More Votes Miss Marie Hodskin Jumps Into Lead.
Many of the country people who c-ame to Richmond today had another object in view than to trade, and that was to deposit votes for their candidates in the Jamestown contest. The Palladium and' Sun-Telegram office
was visited by many 'farmers this morning, most of whom had votes for school teachers to whom their children fro to school. From the number of votes which came in today, tho indications are that this phase of the contest is to be one of the most interesting. There are many new names in the contest today, in fact so many that a new rule must be made governing the time of making the couut. So many votes flood the contest manager at
noon that he cannot get them all counted and a statement ot them , prepared jfnr thu evening paper. , it will befc necessary to have tho votes come in of un evening in order to get them countA for the-paper of the following day. In other words the count of votes will be made each morning , the first thing. If the present increase keeps up it will Tequire out man a 'good port ion of t he day to count and compile the votes. It eems that everyone who , takes the Palladium and i Sun-Telegram is clipping his ballots. , The subscribers
are interested in the event and all the
candidates now have to do is to get the votes. The race for securing the votes is now on and it promises to be the prettiest event of its kind ever tried in Richmond. Right now the people living outside of Richmond are taking up with the contest perhaps better than the city jieople. Miss Marie Hodskin at Cambridge City Is getting votes fast. Today she jumps into the lead in her class taking the place of Miss Danner, who led yesterday. (Continued on Page Two.)

I asked her to let me have $100 if she could spare it and she answered that she has no money and so I must appeal to you.
Perhaps I was wrong in coming here, but my parents are responsible for that. I want money to stay here until I can get a position and be independent of everybody else. Won't you help me? If you fail me I don't know what I will do. I would rather kill myself than have to go to certain persons in this city for help and I won't write home for money. I feel like ending it all."' Yours,
HOWARD NESBIT, Comments on Verdict.
Harry Thaw, his wife and lawj-ers comment on, the outcome of the trial
as follows:
HARRY THAW I could hardly expect anything else in view of the ev
ents of the last few days. I believe every man on the jury possessing average intelligence, except possibly Mr.
Bolton, comprehended the weight of evidence and balanced if for acquit
tal. MRS. EVELYN THAW I can't un
oerstand. I don t see why they
couldnt have come to some agreement. They ought to have acquitted
him on the evidence.
ATTORNEY HARTRIDGE I hope
that we shall have a new trial speed
ily, and that the next time it will not
be necessary for the presiding judge
to have to charge thejury that we are living in a civilized community.

The Hoosier Drill company is about to enter on the period of its greatest prosperity as the output of the factory will be doubled and an Increase of several hundred men will be made in the present force to properly care for the huge business. ' The new foundry buildingIs practieally. compicfe and . will . be turned over for that purpose in the course of the next ten days or two weeks. Operations will begin in It then with a double force of moulders over those which have been working in the old foundry. About ninety moulders will be employed In the new addition and the plant will now be able to care for this end of its business. This originating department has always been so small that it could not properly care for the output of the plant, and has neccesitated the company buying its castings from other manufacturing firms of this city and out of town concerns. With the increased, foundry capacity, however, the Hoosier Drill will not be required to make purchases of this nature. Where the old cupola in the old foundry room turned out about 8 to 10 tons of molten metal
! per hour, the new one will turn out
18 to 20 tons per hour. In order to furnish the power for the new and powerful blower, which will be installed in the new foundry room, a fiftyhorse power electric engine will be placed, the power for which will be furnished by the municipal plant. Old Structures Will Go. Weather permitting, in two weeks time the building operations will have continued to such a degree that the old smithing department, foundry, grinding and cleaning rooms can be torn down and operations will be car-

At the meeting of the building committee of the Earlham board of trustees, held Friday at the college, plans for the new heating plant for all the college buildings were discussed, but no definite arrangements were made. The plans of Architect W. S. Kaufmann, which call for an outlay of between ?J.,X0 and $30,000 for both, a complete lighting and ' heating plant, were considered, but the committee de
cided to; postpone; the, matter until It
could be ascertained just how much it would cost and how much they could raise for the purpose. That the college needs a new heating plant, goes without saying, as the present accommodations are very crude and unsatisfactory. Trouble has always resulted in heating Earlham and Lindlcy halls, and it Is the plan of the committee to erect such a modern plant that It will meet the needs of the college for years to come. Plant for All Buildings. According to this plan, the new plant will be located to the rear of Earlham hall and will furnish heat for Perry, Earlham and Lindley halls in addition to the new boys dormitory and the library. The gymnasium will also be heated by the plamt. After a time a complete electric lighting plant will be installed in the building occupied by the heating plant. This however, will come later, when more
funds than are at present in sight, can be raised. With the construction of j the new heating plant and the newi dormitory and library, Earlham col-J
lege will have spent about SIOO.OOO on;
new buildings. The committee also expressed its willingness to connect with the new west side sewer when it is completed. This will be a very easy matter as a branch will be run to this point. The Earlham authorities await the actio.i of the city in regard to the sewer proposition.
FIRST TO SERVE ALL ITS READERS
The Palladium and Sun-Telegram yesterday demonstrated the efficiency of its news service and mechanical equipment by serving all its readers with the Thaw jury's verdict FIRST. Twenty minutes after the first flash came over the wire that the Thaw jury had disagreed the Palladium and SunTelegram carrier boys were receiving the regular evening edition of the paper to be served to all their subscribers. This too, in spite of the fact that the .entire first page was rearranged and three cuts of principals in the trial placed on it. The paper which the Palladium and Sun-Telegram put out was no slip shod extra to be served to a few people who happened to be down town. It was a complete evening edition well printed and well illustrated. For Completeness and Speed The Palladium and SunTelegram Always.
Richmond Is in the throes of one or the worst car shortages la the history of the city, according to the statements of local manufacturers. The car shortage on the Pennsylvania ha affected local manufacturing concerns to suck an extent that they have lost thousands of dollars during the past few weeks, because they could not t-e-cure enough car from the railroads tJ ship their products on schedule time. Special orders have flooded the local seeding machine and other manufacturing concerns In the city, and after the products have been completed and ready for shipment on the Kpeclfled date, given in tho contracts, the railroads have not been able to furnish cars for transportation,- hence the orders have had to be cancelled. It ia . . 1 ii.. 1 HI. r 1 f
(Manually iDipinsiui lur iifuni vuu cerns to secure enough cars for th transportation of their products and
as a result they have been compelled to cancel hundreds of common orders In the past two 111 on t lib. -, How One Concern Lott. One local concern, which handles farm machinery, has been .severely handicapped. The seeding season In the north and northwest ia on and during the warm weather of March tho farmers in those regions became anxious to secure their machinery that they might plant early. Orders came to the local manufacturing concern In hundreds. The machinery was ready, but the company could not secure cars to ship It. When this prediciment faced the manufacturers they cancelled thousands of dollars worth of orders. Other planters who contemplated buying of the local concern turned their eyes In other directions when they found that their wants could not bo accommodated. The present cold weather has stopped the orders for spring seeding machinery to a considerable extent but nevertheless the local company, has had to turn down order after order through its inability to ship and consequently at a loss which amounts well up in the thousand of
dollars. The whole loss Is blamed to the railroads for bad they given tho proper accommodations to the local concern, or had. been In position to do so, the local company would not have been required to cancel such a groat number of orders. Another manufacturer In speaking of the matter said "Sometimes we get cars, sometimes we don't, but the latter statement holds good the most of the timo." According to his statement there has been no time in the past three months that his company has been able to secure enoucii cars to ship the output of the plant, and meet the orders which have come into the offices of the company. Freight Station Too Small. One manufacturer took exception tv . the smallness of the local Pennsylvania freight station, saying tlrat whf.n
j goods are delivered there the station j i3 so small that it can not bf handlj ed properly. So far as handlln? the j local freight Is concerned, he said, the condftSons are worse than nothing.
Every load of freight going to the station, according to his statement, requires a much longer time to unload than It should. One local concern basis its gros loss this spring due to the car shortage at $25,0w. This is the greatest however, while the other factories place their losses at from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. The whole will run to about $50,000 or $73,000 fn Richmond alone. " Railroads Blame Shippers. The railroads claim that the ship pers are as much to blame as the railroads and state that they have figures to show that the greater per cent of delay fn the movement of cars throughout the west and In Richmond, Is due to the delinquency of shippers In loading and unloading cars. They also state that they cannot help themselves, owing to the gr-at commercial development In the past two years. The Pennsylvania, now has about fifteen thousand cars of their own on other roads, which they can
