WEEDING OUT JAMESTOWN

CANDIDATES HOT HAVING 500 VOTES WILL BE DROPPED Move Made in Order to Keep Only Those in the Event Who Are in Earnest About Making the Trip. WORK IS TOO HEAVY TO CARRY "DEAD TIMBER." So Many Ballots Come in That It Is Necessary to Employ a Clerk for Counting and Compiling Them. Although a heavy vote was cast in the Palladium and Sun Telegram Jamestown - exposition contest today there was not a change in the lead ership of any of the classes and there j were no wonderful spurts such as I-rof. Elza Stevenson made yesterday. The jump made by the Economy teacher in a way took the breath of liis competitors. It is now more clearly demonstrated than ever before that If ? Richmond teacher is to go to Jamestown he must hustle. Of course there are more readers of this paper by far in Richmond than in the vicinity of Economy but Prof. Stevenson is not confining himself to that one district, lie is scouring the surrounding townships on the hunt for votes and is meeting with good success. - Prof. Brunson who has been letting the leaders draw away from him of late took a decided brace today. A 6.003 addition to his count keeps him fetill - fit ' " ' the running. -Apparently Prof. WIssler doesn't care for the lead, at least he remains in third place vhcre he was crowded to yesterday. .Busy Day for Teachers. This was a busy "day for the teachers; They spent it hunting votes. Tomorrow promises to be spent by the shop people and clerks in streng thening their fences. Next week Willi usher in the month of May and then the contest will have-but thirty-one days to run. It Mas planned that the contest should be short but very oxciting while it lasted. The plan has wo-ked splendidly in fact so well that the Palladium and Sun-Telegram has been compelled to employ, an extra clerk with no other duties than to count votes and compile them. In order to facilitate the work and to treat fairly the candidates who really show a desire to go to Jamestown, the "dead timber" will be cut off beginning next "Wednesday, May 3. At that time all candidates not having 300 votes will be dropped from the list. There are now four days in -which the "little fellows" can strengthen up and show whether they want to stay in the race or drop out. There is not a person now in the race and in fact on the outside of it for that matter who cannot, by a litt tie effort, catch the leader in any class. Xo one has a sure thing by any means. Dark horses often win and such may be the case here. (Continued on Page Two.) DOGS ARE TAGGED III HOVEL ADVERTISEMENT Light, Heat & Power Company Gets 150 Canines. BAKED ICE CREAM NEXT.

NEGRO SOUGHT OY THE POLICE SLEPT III THEJITY HALL Peacefully Slumbered in the Basement While Eighteen Sleuths Were "Hot" on His Trail. MOPPED A FLOOR FOR CUSTODIAN OF BUILDING.

Talked With Sergeant Betzold, Borrowed Matches From Officer Wierhake and Then Went Cheerfully on His Way This is a tale of a one-eyed colored man who was wanted by the local police, but was unaware of the fact. Unsuspectingly he slept Friday night in the basement of the city building, di rectly under police headquarters, and he is still wanted by the police. Thursday morning when Prosecutor Jessup was enroute from Centerville to Richmond on a traction car, he overheard the negro in question stating what a bad man he was and that he expected to make a "touch" before departing from this law abiding community. The man got off the car at West Fifth and Main streets. Prosecutor Jessup, on his arrival at police headquarters announced that there was a bad colored man at large in West Richmond and Chief Bailey immediately ordered Officers ISunday and Wierhake to corral him- The bad man was still at large Thursday afternoon and at roll call Chief Bailey described the negro to his entire force and told them to be sure to round him up. Came to City Building. Friday night the negro wandered into the basement under police headquarters, all unconscious that eighteen sleuths were on his trail, and peacefully slept there until this morning, when he awoke, shivering from the cold. The colored man walked up stairs and into the city court room where he found Janitor Frank Posther mopping the floor. "Say, I'se about froze, boss, and I'd like to mop dat floor to git ma blood circulatin'," said the negro in the way of introducing himself to Posther. The janitor promptly surrendered the mop and in a few minutes the colored man had completed the job. He then walked into the chief's office and had quite a conversation with Sergeant Betzold, in the course of which he stated that he would like to either get a job or "blow" the town. Soon Officer Wierhake entered, and the negro touched him for the loan of a couple of matches, after which he bid the patrolmen farewell and went on hi3 way. Posther Gets Wise. Now it so happened that when Sergeant McManus arrived, he-cautioned the assembled guardians of the law about the necessity of rounding up the one-eyed negro and again gave a mi nute description of said negro, which Janitor Posther chanced to hear. Then up spoke the janitor. "Why that guy spent last night in the basement." said he, "and furthermore mopped the city court floor, and furthermore powwowed with Sergeant Betzold and extracted two matches from Harm Wierhake." The tale ends here to write more would be uncalled for. TWO END JHEIR LIVES Suicide Record Keeps Up at The Capital City. Indianapolis. April 27.

WATSON WAS ANGRY AT THE EXPOSITION Thought "Uncle Joe" and Congressmen Were Not Shown Enough Courtesy. SAID A FEW BAD WORDS. EXPOSITION OFFICIALS WRITE TO THIS CITY TO GET UP AN INDIANA EXHIBIT ARE SORE AT HANLY. Norfolk, Va.. April 27. The officials of the Jamestown exposition, which ushers in the fourth century of permanent civilization in Norfolk, do not conceal their bitterness toward Governor Hanly, whose action made it impossible for Indiana to be represented In its soverign capacity in the show. They declare with considerable feeling that Indiana is the only state of its' magnitude and importance that will not have a state exhibit. The exposition management still hopes, despite Governor Hanly's opposition, to secure an exhibit from Indiana, which, while not official, will tpyify in a measure the state's power and resources. There is no possibility, of course, of obtaining state aid, as the governor has blocked that avenue, but the plan now on foot is to enlist the commercial clubs, boards of trade and similar organizations throughout the state In an effort to raise funds by popular subscription for an Indiana exhibit. , Letters Sent to Richmond. The project has been outlined in letters sent by the exposition managers within the last few days to leading citizens of Richmond Ind., where there are large manufacturing interests, and where the exposition is being boomed by means of a newspaper voting con(Continuea on Page Two.) MASKED MEN'S VISIT MAUAUSE DEATH John Laymon, Near Spencer, Shot in an Encounter. . MEANT TO WHIP HIM. Spencer, Ind., April 27. About midnight last night eight masked men, after cutting off telephone communication, appeared at the home. of John Laymon, a farmer, and aroused th2 family. As Laymon opened the door he scented danger by noticing masks on his visitors. He put up a stout resistance. While fighting them, two of his assailants shot him through the breast. In a weakened condition he was compelled to quit fighting. The assailants bound him to a tree, determined to give him a merciless beating, but his pitiful plea In which he told them he believed he was fatally wounded, prevailed, and they left him with out giving the beating. The family cut the ropes and tenderly carried him into the house. He is dying. The assailants are unknown. Miss Collet Fortunate, I Miss-Mona Collet was awarded a jus at St, Andrew's schooL

HORSE IS RESCUED WITH LOG CHAIN Animal Taken From River at The Foot of N. Sixteenth St., Friday Afternoon. WAS SEVERE EXPERIENCE. SAID THAT ITS NECK WAS STRETCHED ABOUT SIXTEEN INCHES BUT THAT IT HAS SINCE RELAXED. Friday afternoon an aged and enfeebled hcrse was rescued from a watery grave at the foot of North Sixteenth street, where the unfortunate beast had wandered into the river. In being rescued from a death by drowning the ancient horse was nearly jerked into the Dark Beyond by strangulation, as the novel method of attaching a log chain to the neck of the water-logged beast was employed in extracting him from the peaceful ripples of the Whitewater. When the predicament of the stranded horse was discovered Friday afternoon by its owner, Charles Stanley, the police were requested to assist in the rescue. Officer Edwards was organized into a relief expedition and dispatched to the scene. On his arri val the beast was safe ashore but, ac cording to Edwards, its neck was at least sixteen inches longer than before It carelessly wandered into the wet. This condition resulted by reason of the heavy pulling on , the log chain by Mr. Stanley and others who assisted in the rescue. It is stated that the horse's neck has relaxed to its normal condition and .despite its age, hopes are entertained for its recovery. The ani mal while grazing wandered into the river and got stuck in the muddy bottom. It was so weak that it could not extract itself so Mr. Stanley had to come to its assistance.

At Readville, Mass., last summer, the gelding finished second in a trotting race stepped In 2r07-"i. The remarkable performance of the animal attracted the attention of a man from Boston, who offered $7,500 for him, but Mr. Kitchell would place no figure on. the horse. Mr. Kitchel was very enthusiastic over the animal and predicted a mark of 2:05 for him. Mr. Lackey will use the animal for matinee purposes and for a roadster. Divorce Suit Dismissed.

A phonograph was brought into use to entertain the boys antil the arrival of the band but it was abut as effective as a flute In a boiler shop. Howls and yells rent tho atmosphere Into ribbons. The youuser lads whooped and 'the Garfield school boys gave their class and school yells for the pure lovo of making a noise. Thousands Along Line. When the band finally formed the juvenile army , filed out oi one entrance of the coliseum like ants out of an ant hill.
