CRIMINALS AND THE POLICEJCEPT BUSY Figures on Indiana for the Past Year.

GAIN IN THE PRISONERS.

Criminals did a flourishing business In Indiana in 1906 and so did the police. In each profession there was preater activity than in 1903. Miss Mary Stubbs 'says that 1906 found 2,000 more prisoners in the state's Jails thau in the preceding year. In lier capacity as state statistican

observations. The total number of people in the jails of the state during the year was 31.632.-In 1905 the total number was 29.342. This was 637 fewer than in 1904, the number that ear being 29,979. In 1903 the total number of jail prisoners in the state was 29.060 and in 1902 the number was 26.093. The year 1901 showed, total of 23.9S7. while 1900 showed 21.oi0. The per cent of increase in 1906, with" the exception of that of 1903, has been greater than in any year previous.

WORK OF LITTLE GIRLS.

SEVERAL WANT HIS PLACE,

Hagerstown, Ind.. April 30 Prof. O. I. Voris. superintendent of the Hagerstown schools, tendered his resignation to the School Board Monday tnorning. He has received an invitation to superintend the schools of a larger place where the salary is con6V, ably, larger ami the opportunities broader. A number of applicants have already appeared for the place made vacant by the resignation of Prof. Vori.s, but no action has as yet been taken by the school board.

The Bon Ton orchestra, which gave a concert last night at the South Eighth Street Friends church for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A. fund, is not connected with the church in question or any other institution, but is a private voluntary orchestra club of little girls who were granted the use of the church by the South Eighth Street Friends in view of the worthy object to which the proceeds of the evening will be devoted. The enterprise is being managed entirely by the members of the orchestra and the entire proceeds will be given to the Y. M. C. A. building fund.

A STRIKE IS ON AT THE WAYNE WORKS Twenty-one Men in Cutting Room Go Out.

NOT A SERIOUS AFFAIR.

FORTY CANDIDATES FOR THE WOODMEN

The Modern Woodmen adjourned their regular meeting early Monday night that the drill team might get practice for its work next Monday night on the large class of candidates. Thirty-six have already passed the examination and it is thought at least four more will, making a total of forty candidates.

Because the management of the Wayne works, refused to grant the request of a few of the older men in the cutting room, asking the removal of Andrew Warner, the foreman, twenty-one men in the room are now out on a strike, and the manufacturing concern Is materially handicapped in that

all wood work for the machines manu

factured at the concern, originates in the cutting room. At present the erecting rooms in which the machines are put together, are handicapped in that tney have no bodies to erect.

According to the strikers" statement the superintendent of the ' plant has agreed to take the majority of the strikers back into the fold as soon as they are willing to go to work.' and it is probable that a few of them will return to work by Wednesday. Ring leaders in the strike will under no circumstances be employed, it is said.

STREET CAR STRIKE SET- -TLED BY INTERVENTION. . Salt I-ake City. Utah, April no. The street car strike was settled today by intervention of citizens who got a ten per -ent increase for the men for two year.

Dispatch from That City Says

Home Telephone Interests Transferred to Bell.

Dr. C. S. Bond, city health officer, will leave within the next few days for Washington, D. C, where he will appear before tbe secretary of agricul

ture and make a formal application

for the appointment of government

meat inspectors for the city of Richmond. Dr. Bond announced Monday evening that he would take this trip after council in special session had passed under; suspension of the rules the meat inspection ordinance drawn up by City Attorney Study and a special

committee. This ordinance was introduced in council about a month ago. Changes Not Material After the ordinance had been first, introduced it was referred to the ordinance committee, which reported it Monday evening without material change. The only important cjiange made makes the ordinance read that the inspection of meat shall be made on a floor or floors conforming to government standards. The ordinance was originally worded that the inspection should be made on one butchering floor. The ordinance will go into effect after publication, as required by law. , Councilman Leftwich, before final action was taken on the ordinance, asked if it would not be better to delay putting the ordinance into effect, stating that it would take the butchers some time to make the required

changes and that it might be some j telephone companies.

City Baseball League Is Not Probable in Richmond.

Owing to the fact that none of the

representatives of the various base

ball organizations were present Mon

day night at the call meeting, at which the city league was to have been or

ganized, no step of that nature was taken. It is very probable that no league will be placed on the base ball map of Richmond during the summer. The lack of interest is responsible.

time before the government appointed inspectors for this city. City Attorney

Study 'stated that it would not be ne

cessary to enforce the ordinance tintil the butchers had been given ample time to make the required changes. Councilmen agreed with Mr. Study.

Read by Sections. The city attorney read the ordin

ance by sections and there was con

siderable debate over each section

but no opposition developed. The old

question as to whether this ordinance

would affect dealers in nearby towns in this county who ship meat into

the city that is not inspected, was

raised. It was explained that under

the terms of the ordinance only meat inspected in the manner provided by

the ordinance could be offered for

sale here. The city has no authority

to compel the dealers in neighboring towns not affected by the interstate meat inspection law to inspect their meat, but that the city could regulate the kind of meat to be sold here. This

provision In the ordinance guarantees the local butchers protection from butchers outside the city. Dr. Waggoner, government inspector at the Richmond Abattoir company, was present and he answered numerous questions. He informed Mr. Study that tanks to be used as receptacles for offal could not be located on the butchering floors. The ordinance reads that such tanks shall be connected with such floors and the city attorney argued that this did not necessarily mean that the tanks should be located on the floors. This

part of the ordinance was allowed to

stand as originally drafted. Little Delay Expected.

At the present time local butchers have all offal hauled away from their

plants as there has been an ordinance

in effect for some time prohibiting

them from the use of tanks. It is probable that two or more floors will be built by local butchers and Dr.

Waggoner expressed an opinion that

there would be but little delay on the part of the government in naming lo

cal inspectors, if the ordinance Dr. Bond takes with him to Washington

proves satisfactory. The ordinance

reads that inspectors shall be appointed by the city, it was explained to council by City Attorney Study that whoever were appointed local inspectors by the government would be appointed by the city. The government pays the salaries of these officials. The only expense the local butchers will be put to is in remodeling their plants to meet the requirements of the ordinance.

Richmond Independent Telephone

company reported transferred to the Bell interests."

Such was the wording of a telegram,

received by- the Palladium from New York, headquarters of the two large

s Attorney A.

C. Lindemuth, who is now president of the Indiana Independent interests, is out of the city, the rumor could not be verified from that source. N. H. Hutton, manager of the BelL Interests here, stated that he had not been apprised of any intention on the part of the company to absorb the Home Interests, in Richmond but might not know until the deal was consummated between the two interested parties.

According to his statement the Bell company never takes its managers into confidence along this line and it is thus that he is unaware if such a transaction has been made. j

New Bell Equipment. An interesting feature of the local situation, is the fact that the Bell company now has purchased and on the way to this city a large number of Western Electric No. 1 multiple sw-itch boards, which were to have been used in the new building on North Tenth street. New Bell equipment is arriving daily and it is said that the Bell company will begin work on a new building, as soon as it can secure underground privileges but this is not confirmed. With new equipment constantly finding its way to the Richmond station, and plans under way for the erection of a most modern telephone plant, the situation does not by any means suggest a merger of the two concerns.

PRESIDENT ESTRADA INJURED BY BOMB

Washington, April GO. An official cablegram received by the Latin-

American diplomat in this city today, j

Monday evening after the special

council meeting had been adjourned Councilman Ogborn stated that he had a petition concerning the Y. M. C. A. which he wished to introduce. Mayor

Schillinger stated that the council had

been called to consider only the meat

inspection ordinance, and that Mr. Og-

born's petition would not be in order.

While the councilmen were dispers

ing E. J. Humpe took the floor and

asked the privilege of being heard. Mayor Schillinger then called the councilmen back to their Keats and had

City Clerk Taggart call the body into another special session. Mr. Humpe stated that the outlook for the Y. M. C. A. movement was very dark and that it

had occurred to -him as a member of the chautauqua committee to appeal to

the city, which is financially interested in the chautauqua, to come to the assistance of the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Humpe suggested that at the chautauqua, which will be held next August, a day be set aside for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A. He stated that half of the proceeds of the Chautauqua go to Mr. Shaw and the other half goes to the city. Mr. Humpe said that it would be a great boon to the Y. M. C. A. movement if council would order its share of the proceeds on Y. M. C. A.

day to be turned over to the Y. M. C. A. fund. After Mr. Humpe had made his plea a motion to donate the city's

share of one day's receipts at the chau

tauqua, was made and passed without a dissenting vote.

For Xhct Y. M. C. A. big meeting at the coliseum tonight, the doors will bo opened at 7:30 o'clock and the exercises will begin at 8 o'clock. Tho public generally is invited. There will bra music by the city band, financial reports and short talks.

No financial report is made today because it is the intention to complete all such tonight. Hard work is going forward in the effort to secure tufflcient subscriptions to make success of the project certain. Managers of the campaign say they have "nothing up their sleeves" in the way of large subscriptions and that the hardest kind of work will bo necessary to bring the total to what It must be to clinch'the conditional subscriptions. However, they are hoping that when tonight's meeting comes to a close, not only $S5,000 will have been secured, but the full $100,000 that it was the original intention to secure, and which other cities the size of Richmond have secured, will be forthcoming. They are relying on public pride pride that will not allow Richmond to fall behind what other cities of the same size have done to help them.

WILL BE A GREAT FAIR Meredith Matthews Was at Jamestown Opening.

IVIeat Inspection Ordinance Passed by Council Monday Th? following is a summary of the meat Inspection ordinance passed Monday evening by the city council: Section 1. It shall be unlawful to sell or offer for sale in this city any meat not inspected as herein provided. Sec. 2.

Cambridge City, Ind., April .. Meredith' Matthews has returned from a brief trip to the Jamestown exposition where he went to attend the opening Mr. Matthews was highly pleased with what he saw at the fair. He says that it is of such proportion that the" workmen have not been able

jto complete it by this time. By the (latter part of May he thinks every

thing will be in readiness for one cf the grandest shows of the kind ever held In America. The battleships, the ocean and the historic places of intererst are. according to Mr. Matthew, points which make the exposition p.ticularly attractive to "land lubber'' of Indiana.
