General Mix-Up From Troubles of Author Howard;
The trouble of author Howard and his young wife has brought notoriety to Charles II. Wilson, manager of W. G. . Vanderbilfs string of show horses in London. The picture at the top shows former Florence Shenck, professional whip for Mr. Vanderbilt, whose marriage to Wilson was announced last April. Below is a sketch from life of an Orange, N. J. society woman who claims to have married Wilson, 14 years ago. A picture of Wilson appears in the panel below.
Eolse. June L;. The decision by
3udge Wood as to the admission of tes
timony in which he sustained Darrow's point tl.at the defense had the right to introduce evidence showing Orchard's connection with the mine owners and detectives, makes it certain, according to Haywood's counsel, that they will te able to show that all crimes committed by Orchard were the result of a conspiracy to discredit and destroy the Western Federation. When the trial was resumed today, Haywood was in an unsusually cheerful mood. Haywood continues an active participant in the conduct of his case. He alertly watches every 'witness and besides offering numerous s-ur,s-'f-r,tio;iH to hi.s attorneys, mahea extend- d notes us the taking of testimony progresses. The first direct testimony in defense of Haywood was offered Tuesday and It was chiefly directed toward showing
that Harry Orchard, blaming Frank ) Eteuncnberg for the loss of his interest j in the Hercules mine, had threatened j
to have revenge by killing him; alr;o that the conduct of Orchard and K. C. Sterling, before the Independence ex

That Richmond people are desirous of having the best there is and are willing to stand all assessments that the city may be beautified, is evidenc
ed by the large number of improve
ment plans that have been drawn by
the city engineer so far this year and
the comparatively few complaints or remonstrances filed against the im
provements. Although it Is only June, forty Improvement plans have been drawn by the engineer, while thirty-five of these have been accepted by the board of public works. This year's record uptodate is greater than in any previous year. Last year there were only about thirty-seven public improvements made during the entire year and this record was considered exceptionally good. On the largest public Improvements for which plans have been prepared and accepted, not one remonstrance has been registered. This improvement is the Jjv.0,000 west side sewer, for which bids will be asked Friday. The city-officials feel that a record
has been broken which means much for the city while the property owuers seem well plfaed as do the city officials. City Treasurer Niuirod Johnson will be about the busiest man in the county, when all the improvements are completed and are approved, as he will then have to fi! notices with all property ownsrs affected.
It is a singular fact that practically all of the storage rooms in Richmond are now filled with furniture. This is significant, as it is further evidence of the shortage of houses, and the crying need for such. Many people are moving to the city, but have not been able to secufe homes. In view of this fact they have taken rooms, stored their furniture and piled request after request for suitable homes upon the
rental agencies. The demand for

Earl Huntington, who brutally as
saulted ex-police officer William Golden, was arrested Tuesday night at Eighth and Main streets by Officer Scott Winters and was arraigned in police court, charged with assault and battery- On account of the numerous witnesses that are to be summoned in the case, it was continued until Friday morning. Huntington's bond was fixed at $2U0 by Judge Converse, which bond Huntington said might just as well been placed at a million, as far as his likelihood of securing it is concerned. Hunti7gton asked about the possibility of securing a lawyer and he was instructed by the court that if he could get a member of the Wayne county bar to defend him,' the court was very willing to grant the right." Golden was in court, looking much the worse for the rough treatment he had received. One eye ' partially closed, his face a mass of black and blue spots, with here arid fbere a scar, and his nose larger than its normal size, on account of a broken bone, the former patrolman looked perfectly the part of a willing prosecuting witness. Huntington Threatens. According to the police, Huntington was too much under the influence of liquor when arrested to resist Officer Winters. He was also full of threats and promLsed to bore Officer Winters with a bullet for taking him in charge. In addition to this threat Huntington made a few concerning the public press. All reporters handling the- details of his trial are to be dealt with severely, the exact manner of outlawry not having Ijeen determined. . Prosecutor Jes&up would accept no plea from Huntington, intimating that! something more serious than mere as
sault and battery may be the charge

PATIENCE IS BADLY TAXED.
William Rost, charged with having IKiinted a revolver at Nellie Tiffany some seven days ago, still languishes In jail while the attorneys Interested in the case are unable to make arrangements for hearing the case, which on the face of it seems very simple yet which in reality has been a very complex piece of criminal pro cedure. There Is a ray of hope in sight for Rost, however, as Judse Converse when the case was called in court this morning stated that he thought it would be possible to get it off the docket this afternoon, probably at four o'clock. The primary cause of delay this morning was the absence from the city of Uyram Robbins, Rost's attorney. The Palladium, not having in its employ a scribe with legal training, is unable to set forth the full particulars concerning the delay in the Rost hearing. Suffice to say it has tested the patience and tried the faculties of those connected with the case for a week and when it is finally disposed of there will be a sigh of relief from all concerned.

A BRANCH TO RICHMOND.
The Indianapolis, New Castle and Toledo traction line expects to begin operations between Indianapolis and New Castle September 15, according to reports received by local lnterurban men. It Is highly probable that a soon as the line is extended to Muncie, the work on which will begin im
mediately after the completion of the New Castle line, work will then start in running a branch to Richmond. The New Castle branch to this city would undoubtedly be one of the befit patronized intcrurbans running into this city..
