Palladium Printing Co., Publishers. Office North 9th and A Streets. RICHMOND, INDIANA. PRICE Per Copy, Dally 2c Per Copy, Sunday IN ADVANCE One Year $5.00 Entered at Richmond. Ind.. Postoffice As Second Class Mail Matter. CHARGES OF DECEIT. U There has been presented to the board of public works a petition signi ed by the Wayne Works asking that ! North Fifteenth street from E to F be raved with brick. Another peti tion signed by the Wayne Works and the DiMe & McGuire Co., asks that North F street from Sixth street to Sixteenth street be paved with brick. The claim has been raised in certain Quarters that these petitions have 'been presented merely to exert an in fluence on council towards ordering (North E street paved, in the face of ; jthe objections raised by the manufac turers. It Is claimed that it is but a trick and that the petitions will both be discarded when they have served their purpose and that no brick, paved streets will be put down as requested. In other words the board of public works is accused of stooping to the lowest and basest kind of a trick in order to gain Its end and have North E street paved. And, incidently, the manufacturers who signed the above petitions stand accused of being equally baee and tricky as the charge, if true, means they have allowed their ; names to be connected with a low deceit. j The board of public works is placed in an embarrassing position until it j acts on these petitions. This suspic ion of their methods has been given general circulation and has been advanced as one reason why council at Its next meeting should not favor the order to improve North E street. And undoubtedly if it were true that these petitions were but a deceit and a fraud and were simply being used to 'further the plan of having North E street paved in spite of the opposition of the manufacturers located on that street, then council, despite the absolute necessity of doing something with North E street, would do well to vote down the Improvement ordinance. The end sought In improving North E Btreet is Just and necessary, but it should not be gained through means savoring of base and deceitful tricks. The board of public works, however, has plenty of time between now and the time council will meet, to act on the North E street matter, to prove its sincerity and the sincerity of the manufacturers who signed these petitions. Between now and the first of the week the board should absolutely et at rest these foul suspicions by acting favorably on the petitions of these manufacturers and granting them the improvement of North F street and Fifteenth street as they request. These manufacturers should be given advantage of the same proposition that has been advanced in regard to paving North E street. The city, besides paying for the Intersections should pay one-third the cost assessed against the property owners. North F street stands in need of improvement. If anything, it is even In Worse condition than North E street. It is a street subject to the heaviest fcind of travel and consequently Its present condition can only be relieved by improving it permanently. The city would be Justified in going to the additional expense this year of improving all these streets, in order to have U finished for all time. There is no oeed of waiting another year as the work can be done just as well and to the betterment of the city this year. And especially is this true in view of the suspicions that have been put forth regarding the good intentions of the manufacturers who signed these petitions and of the board of public works. The board of public works is placed tn another ugly light by additional Teports that have been going the rounds concerning the connection of one member in particular with the affair. B. B. Johnson, it will be remembered, was the only member of the board of public works who voted against the proposition to pave North E street. The improvement resolutionwas passed over his objection, fcow It is claimed that his protest was but a bluff and that it was a pre-arranged affair that he should oppose the resolution. According to these claims, B. B. Johnson, who is proprietor of the ice manufacturing plant located on North F street, is one of the most frequent users of North E street. It Is claimed that the heavy ice wag-; ons from his plant are primarily responsible for the present ugly condi-' Uon of the street and that he is the one most interested in bringing about j the Improvement Now the claim lJ

made that Mr. Johnson did not sign the petition requesting the Improvement of North F street, in order to be consistent with his opposition to the Improvement of North E street as a member of the board of public works. This of course places Mr. Johnson in a very unpleasant light before his fellow citizens and it also reflects on the board of which he is a member. Were the board not to act favorably on the petitions requesting the improvement of North F street and Fifteenth street It would probably clinch the matter In the minds of the citizens of Richmond, who would feel that all these reports about the board of public works were true. Therefore we feel that in justice to itself and to the citizens of our city, the board of public works should by all means act favorably on these petitions before the next meeting of council. It should immediately pass resolutions ordering the improvement of these streets in accord with the requests of the manufacturers. By this means alone can these foul suspicions as to its integrity be set at rest. Our sympathy is with the members of the board of public works, for while we have differed with them in many respects from time to time, nevertheless we dislike to see suspicion fall upon any man. But we know that the board, having the power to do so by simply acting favorably on these resolutions, will justify our

belief in its integrity. Cure for Drunkenness Orrine Treatment to Be Used at Home Without Publicity or Loss of Time from Business. The best aid to temperance is something that will strengthen the drunkard's wrecked nervous system and cure his unnatural craving for drink. We believe that any man who really desires to be cured of the liquor habit can cure himself by using Orrine. This remarkable treatment has made so many cures that we are glad to sell it under an absolute guarantee to refund the money if it does not cure. It Is in two forms: No. 1 that can be given secretly, and No. 2 for those who wish to be cured. It is not only the most reliable treatment known, but it is also the most economical as it costs only $1 a box and there is no detention from the usual duties, while if a cure is not effected, tnere is no expense whatever.

CAN NOT REACH MEN Fire Is Still Raging in the Mines of Union Pacific Coal Company. LOSS TO COMPANY HEAVY. Hanna, Wyo., March SI. The official list of the victims of the explosion in the coal min here Saturday given out by Union Pacific Coal company contains C:J names, and it is believed that at least eight others met death in the mine. The entrances 6f the mine where the dead miners are entombed have been sealed, and until the fire is smothered or some method is devised for lifting the lethal gasses which fill the workings, and it becomes possible to go down, the slope and fight the flames at close quarters, no effort to enter the mine will be made. Great forces of men are laboring at both 6lope entrances removing wreckage. Timbers as large as telegraph poles were broken 1,000 feet from the pit. A car load of coffins shipped from Denver have arrived. It is estimated that this double disaster will cost the operators not less than $300,000. The explosion of 1903 cost the company more than $1,000,000. It is announced now that this mine will be abandoned and sealed as soon as the bodies are recovered.

BRYAN WILL HAVETO FIGHT FOB HIS LIFE

There Will Be Strong Opposition to Him in Nominating Convention. DEADLOCK IS PREDICTED. TWO-THIRDS RULE IS THE PREDICTED MISCHIEF MAKER AND IT IS ON THIS THE BATTLE AGAINST COMMONER HINGES. Washington, March 31. -Political observers are disposed to believe that tnere is at this time, at least, the prospect of a long drawn-out struggle over the nomination in the Denver convention. Comparatively few public men believe there is much chance of defeating William J. Bryan. Under the rule which prevails in democratic national conventions, requiring a twothirds vote to nominate, it is easy to bring about a deadlock, but very difficult to nominate. On the face of things at this time it looks as if the anti-Bryan forces might be able to control more than one-third of the convention; but there is a vast difference between having a little over one-third of the delegates enough to deadlock the convention and having two-thirds the number necessary to nominate. This two-thirds rule is regarded by many influential democrats as nothing more than a mischief maker. The party has frequently considered the advisability of setting it aside, but as it has become a sort of institution in the party, the movement to get rid of it never takes definite form. The Denver convention will be composed of 1,002 delegates. Three hundred thirty five will prevent the nomination of any man. To put it in another way, the successful candidate must have VTO votes. The most optimistic of the anti-Bryan democrats do not pretend to say at this time that the opposition will be able to muster more than 4 votes. Would Still Be Master. If the antis should control this number of votes Bryan would still have the whip hand with his iK2 votes -sixty-eight votes short of a nomination, but still master of the convention. Realizing the possibility of a deadlock, the men who are in the movement to prevent the nomination of the Nebraskan, are asking themselves if Bryan could be persuaded to get out of the racepersuaded to turn his strength to anotheron a showing that more than one-third of the representatives of the party did not want him. So far they have not received any information that might lead them to believe that they could reasonably hope to see Mr. Bryan surrender. On the contrary, they are informed by Mr. Bryan's representatives here in the East that if his enemies should succeed in deadlocking the convention, he would keep the delegates in Denver all summer rather, than surrender. Working on the South. The latest move of the anti-Bryan forces is directed toward the South. They think they could successfully undermine the Nebraskan if they could persuade the South to hold aloof from him. Some of the influential Southern democrats have sent word here during the last week that it might be possible to "line up" the South in opposition. Within the last few days talk of bringing Senator Culberson, of Texas into the race, has also been revived. Culberson frowns on the suggestion. He is committed to Bryan, and, moreover, he believes his constituents want the Nebraskan. TO PREVENT THE GRIP LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE removes the cause.

March 31. Detectives are searching Dundas woods for a missing revolver, upon which may hang a solution of the mystery surrounding the tragic death of Carl Bernthaler, 58 years of age, and Miss Lena Ziechmann, GO years of age. The bodies of the man and woman, with their hearts pierced by a revolver bullet, were found Monday in the forest, in Cleveland Heights, just east of the city. While murder and suicide first were suggested, the absence of a revolver led the coroner to declare that Bernthaler and Miss Zeichmann were murdered by a third party. Bernthaler was a music teacher and a member of an opera house orchestra. Twice married, a widow and six children survive him. Miss Ziechrcann was a music pupil of Bernthaler and also was a teacher of German in the public sohools. She and her music master had been acquainted for many years. Couldn't Tell. "Is marriage a failure?' asked the old bachelor of the young bride. "I donVt knew yet." replied the bride innocently. "You know, my husband dees not set paid until next Wednesday."

UNION LABOR HOSPITAL 10 OPEN IN DENVER Movement Rapidly Spreading Over the Country. Denver, March 31. Within thirty days Denver will have a union labor hospital, accommodating 3oO to 400 in actual operation, and furthermore this city is now the headquarters for the National Union Labor Hospital association, which will proceed with the building of hospitals for members of labor unions in all large cities of the country. Delegates from twenty-seven unions attended the meeting called by Dr. L. Slomienski, of Chicago, here. Dr. Slomenski is the originator of the idea, and explained the plan fully. As superintendent of the national association he has chosen Denver as the headquarters, although he has previously established two union hospitals, one in Joliet. 111., and the other at Belleville, in the same state. The Denver hospital will cost $200,000, and will be the largest in the city. Construction will be begun in a few months, and in the meantime a temporary hospital will be opened immediately.

Ryan, Boston township, is a candidate for County Commissioner of Eastern District, on the Democratic Ticket. 29-7t WATSON SECURES THEJJON'S SHARE Many Delegates for Him in Grant County.

WILL TAFT GET MASSACHUSETTS SOLID Voters Given Chance to Express Beliefs. Boston, Mass., March 21. Today Republican voters in Massachusetts are being given an opportunity at the state primary for the spring elections to express somewhat indirectly their preference for the party's candidates for president. The campaign, which practically closed last night, has been one of the warmest previous to a national convention for many years. It has been fought on the question whether the coming state and district conventions shall instruct the thirtytwo delegates to vote for Secretary William H. Taft for President and adopt resolutions in his favor, or whether they shall leave the delegates free to act at Chicago as they seet fit. No other presidential candidate has been mentioned. PRETTY GIRL P DEAD IN MEN'S FLAT Mystery Surrounds Her Demise. York, Pa., March 31. A sensation was created here when the body of Lillian K. Rife, a pretty young woman, was found in the apartment flats of Joseph Foster, located in the center of the fashionable quarters. So mysterious are the aspects of the case that Coroner Brinner will investigate. The woman applied at the Foster house and begged for shelter, and he gave her a room on the third floor. As the establishment is for men only, there appears to be a deep mystery connected with her sudden demise. The police upon examining the room that she ocsupied, found no traces of poisons or deadly weapons. The girl's father, Jacob Rife, appealed to the officers for an Inquiry, believing there are several men well known about town, who could throw some light upon the case. The Vhlr'i Moatb.
