THE RICHMOND PALLADIU3I AXD S UX-TE LEG RAM, FRIDAY, JULY 1I, 1907.

A LEAGUE MEETING 4T Representatives of Places Interested Will Be in Attendance Tonight. KLING TO BE PRESIDENT. VAN WERT SERIES IS ON THIS AFTERNOON AND SATURDAYDUNKIRK HAS CANCELED SUNDAY'S GAME. Thero will be a meeting tonight of the managers of the Richmond, Port land, Van Wert, Decatur, Hartford City and Bluffton teams at the office of the sporting editor of the Indiana. Dolls Star. It 13 probable that all Ihe arrangements for the formation cl tbe-Seague will be completed at this meeting and as soon as a schedule can be prepared the league season "will open. The manager of the Van Wert team, which is In the city today and Man ager Jessup will leave for Indianapolis this afternoon after the Van WertHlchmond game is finished. It is an assured fact that A. R. Kling, sporting editor of the Indiana polls Star, will be elected president of the new league. There are no oth r candidates in the field for this office and the managers of the teams in the proposed league are of the opinion that Kling will make an ideal chief executive for the organization. The Van Wert Series. , A series of two games with the fast Van Wert outfit opens this afternoon at Athletic park. The second game of the series will be played Saturday afternoon. The game this afternoon was called at 3 o'clock to permit Manager Jessup and the manager of the Van Wert team to catch the 5:30 Interurban car" for Indianapolls. The game Saturday afternoon will be called at 3:30 o'clock. Dunkirk Cancels Game. . Owing to an alleged mlxup in his schedule the manager of the Dunkirk team has notified Manager Jessup that his team will not be here Sunday. This is a keen disappointment to the local management and the fans. Manager Jessup charges bad faith on the part of the Dunkirk management and he probably has good grounds for making this charge. Fortunately the fast Marlon, Ind., team had an open date Sunday so Manager Jessup promptly booked it to show here in place of Dunkirk. ARRANGE SECOND GAME Core Makers and Molders Will Meet Saturday. Another bau game has been plan ned between the Core Makers and Molders of the Iloosler foundry to take place Saturday morning at 9 o'clock at the public play grounds.

Cleveland, O., July 19 The fastest mile of the year over the Glenville track and probably the fastest mile over any track in the country to date was paced by chestnut gelding, Hal C (2:054) Thursday, when he worked in 2:0AM, the last quarter in twentynine seconds. HORSES FOR HAGERSTOWN. Two Strings Will Be Sent From Eat on, Saturday.

BERT BLAIR SECURED TO STARTJHE RACES He Will Officiate at Hagerstown Next Week. RUNNERS OF NEW ORLEANS Hagerstown, Ind., July 19 After weeks of negotiation the Hagerstown Fair Board announces that Bert Blair, senior partner of the Blair-Baker Horse Co., Indianapolis, has been engaged to act as starter in all the races during the three. days' meeting at the Fair. As a horseman Mr. Blair has an international reputation and has no superior as a race starter. He was judge of horses at the International Livestock Show, at Chicago, and has been identified with big horse interests in various narts of the eountrv I for many years. With Bert Blair hold ing the flag a square deal is assured to everybody. A telegram has been received by Secretary Tade Walker from ,Doc" Home at Xew Orleans, in which he says he has shipped a car load of fast runners from that city direct to Hagerstown where he expects to start them on the rounds of the eastern In diana Fair Circuit. Many other run ners are already here and Mr. Bran nenburg of Anderson, starts with string of ten today. William Mat tnews, the well known Latoma race horse man, has Miss Josephine, Cap tain Gaines and other famous horses at the track. The trotters and pacers are coming in and there is no doubt that every racing number on the long program will be filled and three or more extras pulled off. There will be a running race each day. A big vaudeville show company will give free exhibitions before the Grand Stand each day during race intermis slons. Everything at the fair grounds is ready and many exhibits have al ready arrived. DUNKIRK VERY CHESTY OVER FINE SHOWING Feels That It Has Best Independent Team. WHITE SOX IN AUGUST. Dunkirk, Ind., July 10. Baseball managers in all the Indiana cities where independent salaried teams are belntr keut. are having trouble in "making ends meet " so iar tnis sea son. The weatner has, to a certain ex tent, hindered business, but not this alone. The people in general do not seem to appreciate the article of ball now being put up by the teams in the Hoosler state. Dunkirk, Hartford City, Portland. Bluffton. Frankfort, and in fact, all cities where salaried teams are kept are having the same experiences, and yet all have teams equally as good as in the Central league bunches. This has been shown by the exhibition games played with the leaguers. Although the locals are not Includ ed in the new league being organized in Indiana, yet they will continue to play semi-professional ball, and the state's best teams have been booked. The Chicago White Sox of the American league have been secured for a game with Dunkirk at Muncie the first part of August. The locals have met and defeated the Cincinnati Reds and the Dayton, O., Central leaguers, and their workout with the "big boys'' will be watched with interest by fans all over the country. Hay and Carmichael. the local twlrlers, are pitching great ball, the latter having won the last nine games pitch ed. A couple other good twirlers will probably be added. Saturday and Sunday the club goes to Portland, where it plays the county seat bunch. The locals have taken nine out of fourteen games from that aggregation. CUBS HAVE REORGANIZED. The Richmond Cubs have reorgan ized for the season and will meet the Richmond Muldoons, July 22. The Cubs line-up will be as follows: Grose, catch; Eadler, pitch; Brunton, short-stop; Cheesman, first base; Culbertson, third base; Myers, left field; Smith, center field; Harris, right field. Harry Groce, manager, phone 1463. Harry Smith, captain. This team is ready to play with 16 year old boys any Sunday. JAMES P.JOLAN HURT Fell From the Top of the C, C. & L. Embankment. Thursday evening, while James P. Nolan, commonly known as "Judy , was laboriously taking home a packe of wet goods accumulated in div ers saloons he fell off the top of the C, C. & L. embankment in the rear of the Collet saloon, North D street, and broke his right ankle. Nolan re mained where he had alighted for some time. When he was discovered the police were notified that "Judy" was both soused and dismantled. Ser geant Betzold sent the ambulance and had the man removed to his home on Newman's hill, which Officer Vogelsong wno drives tne vemcie, states should be called Newman's Mountain. This morning it was necessary to re

ARE RAISING MONEY

TO PAY BACK FINE Sentiment Here Appears to Be Against the Action by Marshall Drischell. IT WAS NOT JUSTIFIED. UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES IT IS FELT THAT NONE OF THE GLIDDEN TOURISTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DELAYED. Although there are many citizens of Richmond who believe that automobiles should be stopped and their drivers iinea wnen running inrougn towns at a terrific rate of speed, thereby en dangering lives. Marshal Dan Drisch ell of Cambridge City is being roundly scored on all sides for having stopped a party of Glidden tourists and hav ing them held in this city until he ar rived and fines were assessed. The action of Drischell, many are saying. was absolutely uncalled for as he knew that people all along the line were watching for the coming Gliddenists and therefore there was little danger of accidents of serioug nature. as there would be when pedestrians and drivers were not looking for the machines. A large number of Richmond people are so displeased over Drischell's actions and feel so hurt, that the Richmond police force was forced into taking the action It did, in arresting Driv er Harry White, James Barcley and Doc lJuvlnger, occupants of the ma chine, thereby ruining the car's per feet score, that a petition Is beln circulated in Richmond asking for money to pay the men's fines, a check to be sent to them when they arrive at their homes. Already a goodly amount has been raised. A peculiar thing about the petition Is that it is not only a large number of signatures of local automobilists. but there are more signatures of peo ple who are not in any way connected with the local automobile club. It is said that the Idea 13 not in the main to reimburse the driver of the car, but simply to show him that his arrest was not countenanced by the people generally, and not by any means favored. A note will also ac company the check to be sent to him condemning the action of Drischell in stopping the machine. It is also said that an endeavor will be made to annex the signatures of the Richmond police force, to the petition. They at least will be ask ed to give a small amount to telp meet the fine. COUNCIL APPROVES " VIADUCT AGREEMENT The West Side Improvement Seems to Be Assured. BIDS WILL BE ASKED FOR. At a special council meeting Thurs day evening an ordinance approving the agreement between the city and the P., C, C. & St. L. railroad com pany for a viaduct over the crossing at West Second street was introduced and passed under suspension of the rules. This absolutely ends the long fight waged by the city for a viaduct at that crossing. ' President Merrill of the board of public works states that advertisemenis ior dius lor me worn 01 uuuui . . ? , r j i , j , ; , , I lng the sewer system, the street im provements and the excavations for the viaduct, whlcb Improvements the city has charge of under the terms of the agreement, will be printed at once. It is hoped that this work will be in progress before the end of next monthHEAT VERY SEVERE; NO PROSTRATIONS Men in the ShOpS Are FeelinCJ The Effects. SWIMMING POOLS POPULAR The man who wore a coat today or wore a stiff hat must have been either on dress parade or perhaps wanted to bluff the people into believing that it is not as warm as they think it is. At any rate, the day has been hot, not warm, but blistering hoL There was but one redeeming feature of the warm weather and that was the cool breeze. Shop men ever the city state that work in the factories is fearful at this time, and particularly so In the metal working rooms where work over red hot and glowing molten metal is re quired. No heat prostrations In the factories have been reported as yet, but the factory men state that it is really marvelous that no one in Rich mond has succumbed to the intense heat In the foundry rooms. The majority of the men are working in nothing more than a pair of overalls and I a thin gauze undershirt. The swimming pools are now the rendezvouses of the small boys. Haw-j kin's pond, north of the city, is prac tically popular. Richmond is sweltering 'neath the burning gaze of the sun and no relief I

A MODERN JEAN VAL

JEAN IS RELEASED William January, Noted Prisoner, Has Left the Prison at Leavenworth. PARDONED BY PRESIDENT. CASE OF JANUARY IS ONE THAT HAS ATTRACTED TION HIS WIFE TO HIM. WIDE ATTENWAS LOYAL Kansas City, Mo.. July If). Wm. January, Missouri's Jean val Jean, was frnm th. f(1rfr!,i nrfsnn nt released from the federal Leavenworth today. Leavenworth, Kas., July 19. Wil liam January, convict, begins the battle of life anew. At the prison doors he was met by his wife and little child. The world lies before him and the future is full of promise. To President Roosevelt the prisoner owes his liberty. To his loving and loyal wife he has made the promise to go at the great game of life again to win. Plain William January Is only the ordinary convict so far as tha public knows. He sinned and paid the penalty. He broke jail and under the name of Anderson lived a model life. His shame was hidden from his wife and child and his neighbors. So far as they were concerned the black past was blotted out. He was determined to do right and be right. Despite the constant gnawing at his heart, despite the visions that came to him in the night when he saw himself in the convict's garb and the convict's cell, he plodded on and on and was winning the battle, when a Kansas City con vict who knew him "snitched." Torn From Home. Torn from the side of his wife. Wil liam January again was dragged to prison. The second Incarceration was a greater blow than the first. His castles crumbled about him and he was buried in the ruins. The newspapers of Missouri told his tory. The great heart of a great state went out in sym pathy to the unfortunate man. Mon ster petitions were started. They were signed by 37,000 Missourians. There petitions were forwarded to President Roosevelt and clemency was granted. l'oday all is changed again and with the kindly hand of the president upon his shoulders he will seek the goal which he has held in sight through all the years of suffering. January, who is prisoner No. ,S, was sentenced to Leavenworth for breaking into a general store, in which was a postoffice. He was convicted at Stillwater, Oklahoma.. Dec. lo. lsn.v Oct. 9, 181)8, he and another convict named Axton, escaped from the prison, then located at Ft. Leavenworth. Missouri Aids Him. After his escape many newspapers urged that the President be petitioned to pardon January. Members of the Missouri House of Representatives, the Kansas City Board of Trade, Chamber of Commerce, labor organization mem bers and others signed the request, and the president referred it to the department of justice, recommending that the sentence be commuted immediately. Attorney-General Bonaparte, not wishing to encourage prisoners to escape, recommended as a compromise that the sentence be commuted to three months from the date of his rearrest, and that January be then pardoned. This was approved. EIGHT HUNDRED COMING Colored EmDlOYeS Of PennSVl vania to Picnic. A special train bearing about eight hundred colored employes of the will come to Richmond Saturday to hold their annual picnic in Glen Miller park. The special train will bear nine coaches, which, It is said, will be full of colored people. The colored employes excursion from Columbus is always an epoch in the shop history of that city. They will arrive in the city in the early morning and will not leave until late In the evening, spending the entire day at the Glen and about Richmond. All local colored emnloves f the Pennsylvania have been invited to attend tne picnic ana a large cumber will probably do so. TO NAME A SUCCESSOR West Side Improvement Asso ciation Will Meet. The West Side Improvement asso ciation will at its meeting tonight at the Baxter school, elect a new chair man for the committee on public grounds and buildings to succeed Charles A. Francisco, deceased. There are several other things which will be considered by the association. It is highly probable the committee appointed some time ago to assist the city in securing bidders for the West Side sewer construction will make its plans known tonight. There has been considerable speculation as to what these plans are. The Riverside park proposition probably will be taken up again. MINOR SCORES. Portland, 6; Hartford City, 0.

WINKLE'S PLICE WILL BE FILLED Admitted That He Is Wot Eligible to Hold Councilmanic Office. WILL MAKE NO FIGHT. CITY ATTORNEY STUDY POINTED OUT THE POINTS IN THE LAW AT THURSDAY NIGHT'S MEETING. Harry Winkle, who Monday night was elected councilman from the eighth ward by the members of the city council and whose ineligibility was discovered the following day, attended the special council meeting held Thursday evening but made no effort to take his seat. Mr. Winkle stated that he realized he could not qualify for the office and would make no fight for It City Attorney Study pointed out to the councilmen that Mr. Winkle is clearly disqualified to hold the office. He stated that Mr. Winkle is not even qualified to vote in this city. Mr. Winkle, the city attorney stated, left Richmond January 8, 1904, and went to Aurora, Ind., where he went into business and became a citizen of that place. Last May Mr. Winkle returned to Richmond and became a resident of Fairview, purchasing property there. Mr. Study pointed out that the state law read that no man could bo an office bolder or a candidate for office unless he had lived in the community for at least one year. He also stated that the law requires that a councilman had to be a resident of the ward he was elected to represent at least six months prior to his election. Mr. Study stated that the eighth ward had only been in existence since the first of July but that a person elected to renresent that ward would have to have been a resident of that section of the city at least six months. No Blame Attached. No blame is attached to the mem bers of the city council for electing Mr. Winkle councilman from the Eighth ward as they supposed him to bea qualified resident of the city and that section of the city composing the ward. When the discovery was made that Mr. Winkle was Ineligible to hold the office it is needless to say that the six city fathers who voted for him Monday night were f-omewhat embarrassed. Mr. Study laughingly states that it was only natural for council to make the mistake it did. "I never heard of a republican election but what there was some muddle connected with it," said the city attorney. At the next council meeting a successor to Mr. Winkle will be elected. The law requires that he be elected at a special session so it will again be necessary to advertise this special meeting. The special meeting will follow the regular session of council the first Monday In August. It seems to be the general opinion that C. C. Smith will be chosen councilman from the eighth. He received three votes last Monday evening. r

Making Bread at Home Isn't a very pleasant occupation in warm weatner. It may be all right if everything is lovely; the baby is a "perfect angel, and the stove draws fast right, and the oven is the right temperature, and various other "its; but then it's never this way. Better buy Victor Bread and not take any chances. Yours truly. Richmond Baiting Co.
