CENTERVILLE AND RICHMOND
EXCITING RACE
ENGAGE N
It is Hiss Sands Against Miss Lashley
and the Prospects Look Equally Bright at the Present Time SEVERAL REFUSE TO BE LEFT
OUT AND RE-ENTER CONTEST
Provision Made for Candidates to Secure Votes
They Had Credited To Them If They Decide To Try for Prize Again.
Miss Elizabeth Lashley of Centerville. and Miss Elizabeth Sands of
"Richmond, are at the head of the list
both in number of votes and in the in
terest their race m arousing. It is
Centerville against Richmond and just fa.t present Centerville is besting Richmond by about 2,000 votes." Professor Jluutziker of St. John's school and "Professor Tlichter of St. Andrew's are ulso running a neck and neck race and Professor Huntziker is but little more 1han a thousand votes to the better of his nearest contestant. Joseph II. Ulose and L. B. Campbell have re-entered the race in the teacher's class with just a margin over the required fw votes. Their readiness to re-enter shows that the contestants now at the head are not going to be allowed to tarry away the prize without a struggle. Edmund Stidham, entering with
2.741) votes, serves the same notice on
the leadinz contestants in the man
shop employe class.
Richmond is still in seconli place and Cambridge first in the woman shop employe class, as Miss Hodskin has increased her total vote to over
.".7.000. Undoubtedly, however, the
contestants in all classes are not show
inr their real strength. Many of
them, in fact are retaining a large reserve list of votes, from which they draw occasionally either to reduce the lead of the leading contestant in their class or to maintain their own lead if they be at the head of the list. If any of the contestants whose names were withdrawn on account of not having the required 5UO votes, desire to re-enter, they may add to what they originally had published to make up the 500 and start over.

Phaeton Burned in Pat Kinley's Barn.
Mc-
L0SS WAS QUITE SMALL.
Hose company No. 1 was called to the barn at the rear of Pat McKinley'o residence . on North Eighth street to
extinguish a fire, which was rapidly
consuming a phaeton in the buggy
shed. Mr. McKinley's little five-year
old grandchild was in the shed playing
and dropped a match in a large quanti
ty of excelsior. The fire enveloped the phaeton and soon it was a mass
of flames. Attracted by the cries of
Mrs. McKinley, several men rushed to
the scene and rolled the carriage to the alley, where the fire was extinguished
by the department. The boy escaped
uninjured. The loss to the buggy
amounted to about $13.

The controller of the currency has issued a report showing the tremendous growth of the national banking

Jessup states that the grand jury will
be called upon to investigate the
charge that Herbert assaulted his wife and ten-year-old daughter .Tuesday
night, at wnicn time ne was arresrea
for Intoxication by Officer Golden. The prosecutor also stated that it is probable Mrs. Herbert will bring suit for divorce. Herbert has twice before been arrested and convicted, once for assault and battery and once for drunk. He completed serving his last term in the county jail only two weeks ago. When Herbert was arraigned in the city , court Wednesday he entered a plea of not guilty to the charge of intoxication. This morning he made a long winded statement of how he had reformed and was no longer drinking to excess and that the day he was arrested he had only had a dime's worth of whiskey and a glass of beer. Mrs. Haywortb, who keeps the rooming
house where the Herberts live, corner j
North Nineteenth and P streets, testified that Herbert was badly intoxicated Tuesday night. Officer Golden stated that when he arrived at the Hayworth home Herbert was yelling out of a window and when he saw Golden, demanded that he bring his daughter from a neighbor's home. Wife Tells Pitiful Story.
The prosecutor then asked Herbert if he wished to have his wife testify. He said that he did because she could prove that he w-as not intoxicat
ed. Mrs.. Herbert took the witness chair and on being asked the direct question as to whether her husband was drunk on ' Tuesday night, she gazed appealingly at him for a moment then said: "He was under the influence of liquor." The little woman continued ' in a bitter tone that her husband should have known better than to place her on the stand as he knew she would tell the truth. She was reluctant to testify concerning his assault ou herself and the little girl. "The truth is you are afraid to testify against him. Is that not so?" asked the prosecutor. "No sir, I am not afraid of him but I do not like to do so. Wieri he gets under the influence of liquor he nearly . always threatens to commit suicide and not long ago he told me if he was ever again sent to jail he would kill himself, and you know no wife, no matter how low down her husband is, would care to do anything which would cause him to kill himself," replied Mrs. Herbert, looking pitifully at the court. She then said that she would tell
everything and the tale she told was one to move the heart of the hardest. She stated that her husband had struck her" Tuesday night, not hard enough to hurt, and that he had slapped the little girl, who was ill and of a nervous disposition, being at one time threatened with spinal menengitis. She said that the child was now under a physician's care. Mrs. Herbert stated that she worked out to assist in supporting the family. During Herbert's term in jail Mrs. Herbert and
her two children will be cared for by i Net

ed judgment.
Prosecutor Jessup, in stating the
case to the court, said that a few days

was refused. Mr. Jessup stated that
he had no desire to see Mr. Jones sent
to the penitentiary, but that he tola Mr. Culbertson that he would insist on
the case being disposed of in some legal manner.
Recommended Leniency. The prosecutor further stated that
Lincoln Jones, brother of the accused.
and a sister, had been on Jones'bondJ
and that the defalcation had been a
once paid up and, that Mr. Jones had promptly resigned his office as soon as
the charge against him had been
brought against him by Charles R. tin

Mr. Jessup rlso stated that he did not altogether hoM Mr. Joi.es to blame for

Jones owed as a duty to himself, his
friends and the community, o appear in court and answer the charge which had been standing against him for so lonz a time. The prosecutor recom

Levi M. Jones was elected justice of the peace in WTayne township in Feb
ruary, 1S99. In the complaint against.
him it is stated that before January 1, 1901, more than fifty persons who had been arrested and convicted in his
court, had paid fines to the amount of $300, which money rightfully belong
ed to the school fund of the state. Ia May, 1901, Charles B. Lockhart, deputy state attorney general, demanded this
sum from Jones, who refused to make a settlement. Steps were then taken to indict him on a charge of embezzle
ment. On May 29, 1901, Jones re signed his office.

QUAKERS DROPPED FIRST GAME By A VERY CLOSE SCORE
Portland Sneaks Away With a Victory Through Wildness Of Pitcher Millam and Betz's Two Base Hit.
MANAGER JESSUP MEETS WITH PAINFUL ACCIDENT.
Tears the Ligaments in His Right Ankle After Having Made a Pretty Hit Story Of the Initial Contest.
The Quakers played their first game at Portland yesterday and lost, but that was not the distressing feature to the game In the least for the score was 3 to 2 and , the outcome of the contest was not known till the last man had been retired. The bad feature to it all was that Manager Jessup tore the ligaments in his right ankle r nd is now hobbling about on crutches. The accident occurred in the second inning just after Jessup had made a pretty hit and scored a runner. He was rounding first base on his way to second when his ankle twisted , in some rough ground. Although suffering much pain he continued in the game. According to the statement of
his physician Jessup will not be able to bear his weight on the injured leg
for two weeks. This means that the
7,000 in ten years. Much of the team will be without a regular catchet
for the time being. John Goehner or Roy Shattel were booked to catch this afternoon's eame. If either of them

The game at Portland was an, interesting exhibition of the National game and showed that the local team with a little practice will be able to keep the fans rooting throughout the season. The Portland club had the i e a , i . i : : . .

many of the players had worked together on Portland's fast team last year. Despite this the Richmond team held up its side of the diamond argument In good shape. Jessup's injury may have served to make Pitcher Millam, an Indianapolis twirler who officiated, a trifle unsteady for he gave a number of bases at critical times. Whatever the effect on Millam the injury did not servo to affect Jessup's playing as he stuck nervi'y to the game and did not make a wobble which was costly. Jessup's remarkable grit was the talk of spectators and players as well.
Richmond Scored First. The first scoring done was by Richmond in the second inning, when Kelley scored on Jessup's hit. The next time Richmond bothered the score
keeper was in the sixth. Cunningham was the tally maker and the way he did was sensational to the extreme. He was on first when Jessup sacrificed. "Cunny" did not stop at second base however when the ball was thrown to first to catch Jessup but

the part of the contractors fn secuYing carpenters, brick and stone masons and other help. Excellent rates are now being paid this class of workmen, but the demand still exceeds the supPlj'. , The improvements at the Wayne works, Hoosier Drill, Starr Piano plant, Home Telephone exchange, library and dormitory at Earlham college, not to mention any number of houses and barns in every part of the city, has given employment to every man engaged in the building business and many are coming here from various parts of the country to accept employment. Places Are in Demand. J These men who have come to the city to accept employment in various business concerns which are annually expanding have found it almost impossible to secure homes to locate their families and they have experi
enced almost as much difficulty in se
curing rooms at tne numerous boarding houses about the city. Two young men came to the Palladium office today and asked if they could be directed
to some boarding house where they
could secure rooms. They stated that
they had made a fairly good canvass
of J.he city, but found that all rooms in
desirable places were engaged.
There will be a large number of new
dwellings for rental purposes complet
ed by the early fall, but nearly all of
these have been spoken for. In some

With prospects never brighter the Richmond base baH season was wr.hcred in today. Old Sol shone as he was wont to do In the balmy June Entire Nous days and the palms of the fans fairly itched for a chance to applaud the offorts of "OUR TEAM". Music by the band, a street parade in which city officials, directors of the base ball association and the players took nart
were features of the opening day. Everyone down town seemed to be interested in seeing the season get properly started. The parade of open hacks containing the base ball celebraties started at the Westcott hotel, went north ou Tenth street to E, downE to Port Wayne avenue and up the avenue to Main street then out to the Athletic park. Following it was a number of juveniles whose principal occupation during the summer will be fence climbing. Park Was Not Ready. Although the park didn't present a much more appropriate appearanco than did the Jamestown exposition last week, there were no knockers. All were contented to drop down ciost any place just as long as there was a chance of seeing the sport. The pane
was scheduled to start at 3:30 o'clock. This will probably be the time for starting all week day games in otdpr to give business men a chance to Bee them. Anticipation of what 13 coming was indulged in by most of those who gathered at the Athletic park tbU afternoon. Many went so far as to picture the diamond and grandstand ., they will look when put in shape for the season. No matter how strong the imagination it is doubtful if any
planned a more up-to-date base ball
park than Richmond will have. Next, week the work on building the fence, grandstand and bleachers and grading the diamond will begin. A part of the fence formerly used at the Driving park has been bought and will be put up on the east side of the park. The remainder of the fence will be built
of new materiaL The grandstand, plans for which have already been drawn, will be a model of Its kind. It will be built in the general shape of ; a horse shoe, the center resting behind home plate.
