Howard Winslow and Birney Spradling Charged with Assault and Battery. CHON STIRS CIRCLES AT QUAKER COLLEGE. fthere Will Be a Hearing on Wednesday Morning and It Is Expected a Large Num ber Will Be in Attendance. At the instigation of the Earlham (Authorities Chief of Police Bailey has feworn out warrants for the arrest of JClyde Chambers and Howard Winslow 'for assault and battery on Ernest Andrew, and for the arrest of Clyde Alilee, Clyde Chambers and Birney jSpradling for assault and battery on Isaac Stanley. Both warrants charge that the victims of the alleged assault were "touched" in a "rude, insolent find angry manner." The hazing of Andrew and Stanley last Friday night in the dormitory at Earlham college is the cause of this 'action. Prosecutor Jessup states that at first he thought he would have the case investigated by the grand jury, but when he learned of the particulars he decided that it was not serious enough for such action. When the Earlham authorities insisted that some action be taken in the matter, the prosecutor told them to place the matter in the hands of the police. Cause of Excitement. .Andrew is a brother of Adelbert Andrew, governor at the college. Stanley is the roommate of young Andrew. Beth young men are studying for the ministry. The action of the Earlham authorities in causing the arrest of the four hazers has caused great excitement at the college and when their cases are called for a hear-j ing Wednesday morning in the cjty court there will be a large number of students, friends of the accused, present. : .It is alleged by the hazers and. their 'friends that when any of the boys 'came to the city for a little "outing" Andrew and Stanley imposed the duty on themselves of spying on the actions of the festive students. This aroused their ire and it was decided to administer summary and effective punish?ment to Stanley and Ernest Andrew. ; While Stanley was being given the rxub treatment in his room at the dorimitory some students created a diversion in the basement which attracted the attention of Governor Andrew. During his absence in. the basement 1-work on Stanley was concluded by the Shazers, who then turned their attention to Ernest Andrew. At police headquarters Governor Andrew was asked if any of the students implicated in the hazing would be susI have nothing jto say," he replied. Made a Sale at Chicago. t - II- M.

LIGHT FROST NOTED IN THREE STATES. - Cincinnati, May 2S There was a Sight frost throughout Indiana, Kenlucky and Ohio last night. About that house you have for rent. You probably have a little sign on it. "For Rent." Only a dozen or so people who pass that particular house every day see that sijrn. and very few of them would be interested, as they are probably settled in their own houses. Suppose, however, you put a "For Rent" advertisement in the Palladium and Sun-Telegram. That advertisement will be read by the G.fXH) subscribers of this paper, and out of that number 5'ou cannot fail to find the right party. Just look on page six and see how many people already are availing themselves of the Palladium nnd Sun-Teh-gram classified advertisements. The large number there is the best recommendation to use this paper.

A CLEVER ATTEMPT TO GAIN RELEASE Ruse That Worked on the Police at Columbus, 0., Would Not Go Here. CASE OF ALLEGED CROOKS. A THIRD MEMBER OF THE GANG MAKES BUSINESS OF IMPERSONATING AN OFFICER JOHNSON RELEASED ON BOND. A clever attempt was made to 'release Tom Fredricks and George Johnson, two alleged crooks, from the county jail, last week. The same ruse was worked successfully at Columbus,

This wisdom of this action is shown by the way the Columbus police were taken in. After sending a telegram to the police at that city stating that the two men held there were wanted in Pittsburg, a man, believed to be a member of a gang of crooks, arrived in Columbus with cleverly forged papers and at once "took charge" of the two men held there. Later it was learned that the Pittsburg authorities did not send a man for the two dips and the Columbus police had to admit that they had been cleverly duped. Would Not Work Here. It is thought that some crook with irtent to impersonate a Pittsburg de-. tective came to this city to release j Fredricks and Johnson but that be left the city when he learned of the determination of Sheriff Meredith not to turn the men over to anyone unless cash bond was first furnished. Mrs. Fraivk Smith, wife of "Crooked Neck" Smith, who was arrested here for picking pockets, came to the city Saturday' and gave Attorney W. II. Kelley $300 and he immediately went on Johnson's bond. Yesterday an unknown woman who repeatedly refused to give her name appeared at the county jai! and stated that she was a sister of "one of the nieu" and that she wanted to furnish bail for. him. Slu-riff Meredith did not tell her that Johnson Lad been released on lond Saturday and asked her which one "of the men she wanted to see.

Big Right Fielder on Jessup's Squad Will Leave at Once And Richmond Sustains' a Severe Loss. .

FISHER IS A SOUTHPAW; NOT AN OUTFIELDER. New Man Is Touted as a Good One Outfielders Are Badly Wanted by the LocalsGiants Lease Park. Tom Plummer, the big right fielder on the local team, has accepted terms iv.'ith the Quincy, III., team in the Iowa I State league and will leave for that city probably Thursday. A few days ago the Quincy management wired Plummer for his terms, which he sent them. Monday afternoon Plummer jreiceived a telegram stating . that - his terms were acceptable and ordering i him to report at once. As soon as Plummer gets into condition he will make a good man for the Quincy team. Plummer is a hard hitter and an; experienced player. The locals will feel his loss severely. Fisher , is a Southpaw. It was stated in the Palladium Monday that Fisher the latest acquisition to the local team, is an outfielder. Fisher is a southtouted as a" good one. try out this spring of the South Bend ith the locals "will continue to draw his salary from that team. Manager Grant refuses to let go of the youngster as he is confident that he has a fixture before him. South Bend reserves ts privilege of recalling Fisher at any time. Outfielders Are Wanted. - . Manager Jessup is now looking for two hard hitting, outfielders to round out his squad. The departure of Plummer to Quincy and Durham' desertion 4 to Portland" Has lef trtwo gaping htles in the outfield, which must be filled in, if the team expects to be a winner. These outfielders must be ones who can be depended upon to assist Cameran in the gentle art of swatting the ball hard and often. Inability to hit has lost the team four games lately. Hitter at center field has not been hitting up to standard so far this spring but the little fellow has more than made up for this deficiency- by liis all around playing. Otherwise he has covered acres of territory in the rough outfield and has the art of reaching first base by beating out a bunt, waiting for a pass or dumping a Texas leaguer in safe territory down (Continued to Page Six.)

VISITORS WERE PRESENT FROM NEARBY TOWNS. Banquet Hall Was Splendidly Decorated Several Talks

Of Much Interest Mada During the Smoker. ; In truly Masonic style King SofoaSflfl Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, gav tho royal arch degree to seven candidates Monday afternoon and, evening. Tho splendid work was witnessed by visiting companions from Eaton, Cambridge City, Hoston, Winchester and New Castle. Following the work a banquet was served on , the fourth floor of the Masonic temple. During the banquet there was a program of music furnished by Itenk's orchestra. A number of short talks by visiting Masons and members of the local chapter added to the pleasure of the occasion, making it a memorable one in the history of the lodge. Many thought it the best event given by the chapter in years.. The candidates who were raised to the sublime degree of royal arch were L. E. Bruce. Dr. U. 13. G. Ewing. Edward Keff, William E. Wilson, Dr. I. S. Harold, Phillip Worrall and Henry Bulla; In Form of a Keystone. In the banquet hall the tables were arranged In the form of a keystone, emblematic of the lodge. The. were decorated with taste, large palms and carnations of white and red being used. At the table in the center were seated the new companions and the officers of the chapter. The banquet was In trhaf ge - of - Harry Porter and he deserves much credit for the fceauty of the hall and tho appetizing edibles. The banquet prayer was offered by the Rev. E. M. Ellsworth of Eaton, O. During the smoker which followed the lunch, the members listened with much interest to the short talks given. High Priest Charles Land, acted as toast master, calling first on the Rev. Mr. Ellsworth. The speaker thanked the Richmond chapter for its courteous entertainment and complimented the manner In which the work was exemplified. He said that attendance at Masonic gatherings is one of the most enjoyable features of his life. He thinks it is a side of life which no minister should miss. Other speakers from outside towns spoke as follows: V. V. Rrumbaugh, Eaton; C. H- Cokefalr, Eaton.O.; Dr. J. J. Rife, Boston, Ind.;. Chas. W. Routh, Cambridge City, Ind.; and L. D. Lesh, Eaton. O. Dr. I. S. Harold spoke on behalf of the candidates, thanking the lodge for its favorablo action on his petition for membership and expressing his high regard for tho work. Judge Rupe's Address. Perhaps the best effort of tho evening was that of Judge John I Rupe. Mr. Rupe pointed out the enabling virtues which Masonry teaches and said that it is something stronger than even the social or fraternal feature connected with the lodge which brings its members together on an occasion like that of Monday night. He said that it shows a reverence tor the creator in man and a desire for the better things of life, which the Masonic ritual sets forth. "I am glad, to see," said the speaker, "that we have in our midst tonight, a minister and glad to hear him express hi love for Masonry. This expression from him as has similar ones from others of the clergy tend to eradicate that false impression, once so freely circu lated about the Masonic order, that it tended to take men from the church. Instead of divorcing man and the church, the teachings of Masonry bring many closer to the divine word. Some join the lodge who would not affiliate with a religious body, and having imbibed the Masonic lessons, become loyal church members." , It was necessary to end the festivities just before eleven o'clock in order that a number of the visitors could catch their cars for home.
