Boy is Charged With Implication in Fatal Railroad Crash

A schoolboy who is accused of being Implicated In a fatal railroad crash.

The boy is held under heavy bond. I0H MAY WINTERS She Has Been Secured Place to Work by City Missionary Candler. ANXIOUS TO GET CHILD. COULD NOT FIND HUSBAND AND IT IS NOT PROBABLE SHE WILL BE ABLE TO SECURE POSSESSION OF BABE. Ida May Winters, who has been a ward of the county for two or three years, and who recently went to Mackinaw City, Mich., to find her long lost husband, is in Richmond again and has once more appealed to City Missionary Elizabeth Candler, for assisance. Mrs. Candler has secured a place for the unfortunate woman to work. It is understood that Mrs. Winters's long trip to the northern part of Michigan to locate her husband, who deserther about three years ago, was fruitless. She left Richmond about three weeks ago for Mackinaw City confident that she had at last secured a clue as to her husband's whereabouts. Her ticket was purchased by Township Trustee Potter. Most unexpectedly Mrs. Winters returned to Richmond Thursday and this morning she appeared at police headquarters and requested the local police to assist her in securing her young child, who last summer while she was confined at the Home of the Friendless Women, was taken from her at the instigation of the prosecutor and placed in an orphanage at Indianapolis. This act was done because the local authorities were of the opinion that Mrs. Winters was not a fit person to have the custody of a child. While at the home she frequently acted in a violent manner, and it was feared that some time while in one of these frantic moods she might do harm to the baby. When the child was taken from her the unfortunate mother was almost wild with grief and threatened to kill herself. On leaving here for Michigan, she stated that as soon as she found her husband she intended to make every effort to again secure the custody of her child. Failing to find her husband she is now intent on securing the baby. The police told her that they would be unable to get the child for her. She then appealed to the prosecutor, and Mrs. Candler. It is understood that the authorities will balk the efforts of Mrs. Winters to secure her baby, as they believe the child is now being better cared for than the mother could. POSTPONED TWO WEEKS. The Elks postponed the social session which was to have been held Thursday night in the local rooms, on account of the death of Wm. Grubbs. It will be held in two weeks. THE WEATHER PROPHET.

TO TALK POL ITICS; WILL SOON BEGIN

Time of Candidate for Governor Has Thus Far Been Occupied With Revival Meeting at New Lisbon. WILL BE ONE SPEAKER AT LAFAYETTE MEETING Bryan Will Be the Other and Both Are Expected to Make Some Declarations of Much Interest to Democrats. Richmond's only candidate for governor, the Rev. T. H. Kuhn, came home today from New Lisbon wherf he has been engaged in a reviva' meeting for the past few weeks. "Well doctor, how's politics, now?" he was asked. "Politics! Well, my friend, I havf had little time to think of politics. 1 am still in the race for governor anr" I feel very optimistic over my proba ble selection, as the democratic standard bearer in 190S, in this state You see I have been very busy with so many things that politics has bee-, almost secondary consideration sine my announcement, but I will enter thr race with a vim In the course of thr next few weeks. From that time un til the nominating convention I wil' attempt to reach all sections of thstate. If I am nominated, I will con tinue my efforts and feel hopeful cf being elected." The Rev. Mr. Kuhn, along with William Jennings Bryan, will enter tain the Jackson Club of Lafayettr with forensical fireworks on thnight of November 18, the occasior being the annual banquet of the club Bryan and Kuhn will be the only speakers so far as arranged, and ow ing to the reported battle which wil" be fought between Kuhn and Tom Taggart, in the nominating conven tion, Kuhn's speech is looked forward to with Interest. When asked as U whether he would say anything abou' the battle that will probably be waged in democratic ranks on the temper ance question, Kuhn would say notb ing. Twenty-five hundred prominen' state Democrats 'will be in LafayetU on the night of the banquet to heai Bryan and Kuhn. William Jennings Bryan probably will make known his position as re gards to the acceptance of the demo cratic nomination for president. Al though It is not known definitely. In diana democrats g32.erally think that Bryan will awaken the country by a declaration of his principles. Kuhn's candidacy is gaining headway over the state. Tipton and Clay counties are the latest to announce themselves for Kuhn. Others are rapidly heading toward the Kuhn camp. Marion county is responsible for an interesting situation. Kuhn is widely known there and has followers at almost every turn. It being the bailiwick of Tom Taggart he. too, has a strong force, and Just what position the Marion county democrats will take affords some speculation. The battle for supremacy between the two, it is generally conceded will be fought and decided in the capital city county. Kuhn formerly was a resident of Indianapolis.

The boys, with few exceptions, flattered throughout the neighborhood, seeking aid. Soon several people responded. Young Weist, who ran to a telephone, that he might summon a physician, staggered into the Caiman grocery store, tears streaming down his fact, his eyes filled with an expression of fear and horror. He stag-

He waa ghastly white and it was thought for a time that he too might succumb to heart failure. The agonized sufferings of j'oung Weist were .pitiable.

IT IS CLAIMED THEY WILL BE SHOWN UP BY THE TESTIMONY THAT IS TO BE SUBMITTED LATER ON. Berlin, Oct 23. The hearing of the case of Count Kuno von Moltke, exmilitary governor of Rerlin, against Maxlmlllen Harden, editor of Die Zurunft, for defamation of character is growing more and more sensational every day. In the course of the proceedings Dr. Von Gordon, counsel for the plaintiff, declared that be would eventually ask for the testimony of Emperor William to prove that Count von Moltke had never used his official position to promote political ends. Herr Iternsteln. counsel for Harden, agreed to this proposal. Herr Bernstein then charged that the court clique, of which Von Moltk was a member, was guilty of infamous secret crimes. If Von Moltke is innocent, he said, no one else is. and this would seem Incredible. Harden proposes to call the head of the police department dealing with, this aspect of the public morals to testify as to what he knows regarding Prince Philip Zueulenberg, the ex-German ambassador to Vienna, and IJeut. Gen. Count WU'dara von Hohenau, one of the Emperor's adjutants, who, together with Von Moltke, have been mentioned by Harden as members of the so-called Camarilla, or "Round Table." Harden has said that he will call as . a witness Paul Lim?n, the author of a life of Emperor William, who will testify that the late Prince von Bismarck once expressed himself concerning the immoral excesses of Prince Zueulenberg In the strongest terms imaginable. Harden will also call Prince von Buelow, the Imperial chancellor and field marshal and Count von Hulson-Haeseler. chief of the Emperor's military cabinet. The bench has decided to admit testimony to prove the alleged unnatural practices that prevailed among the friends -of Von Moltke. The public will-be excluded from the hearings, but representatlvep of the pres wil be allowed to remain.
