I'AGE TWO,

ing and determines the destiny of na- J tions, this convention pledges that the people's party will stand by these principles and policies la success and in defeat; that never again will the party by the Siren songs and false promises of designing politicians be tempted to change its course or be again drawn on. the treacherous rocks of fusion. Bedlam Breaks Loose. Immediately following the adoption if the platform a call was made for nominations for president of the United States. W. B. Jones of Nebraska, moved that the convention do not proceed to make nominations. Bedlam was instantly loose in the convention, the Watson men shouting "No!" -No'." at the top of their voices. Jones mounted the platform, but for a time he was not given a chance t,o speak. He refused to yield, however, and Chairman Honnecker finally restored a semblance of order and Jones demanded that nominations be put off until July 1. The Rev. Mr. Wadsworth of Indiana, following Jones in an impassioned address, declaring against any adjournment or fusion with either the democratic or republican parties. lie workd the convention up to a wild pitch of enthusiasm by quotations from the scriptures. He wtfs followed by Mr. Tibbies of Nebraska, who urged that the convention postpone nominations until after the democratic and republican conventions. He read a letter from Thomas Watson in which it was said that the populist party had selected too early a date for the convention, tbat its action was unwise. Two Delegations Bolt. After a debate that lasted for about thirty minutes a motion to proceed with the nominations was carried. Instantly the Nebraska delegation pickeTl up their hats and coats, and followed by T. J. Meighan of Minnesota, who alone represented that state in the convention, walked out. No disturbance or comment marked their exit. Alabama, on the roll call, yielded to New York, and Jay A. Forrest of Albany, presented the name of Thomas E. Watson of Georgia. J. R. Norman of Iowa nominated exCongressman Is. II. Weller of Nashua, Iowa. At the conclusion of the roll call the motion was made that the nomination of Watson be made by acclamation. This was done, even the sponsor of Weller of Iowa, voting with the Watson men. Samuel W. Williams of Vincennes, lnd., was formally presented to the convention by Dr. J.- W. Clarke of Washington, lnd.. for vice president. There were no other nominations and his nomination was made by acclamation. A committee was immediately sent to notify Mr. Williams of the honor that had been accorded him and to "escort him to the convention' hall. Mr. Williams, upon entering the hall, was greeted with enthusiastic cheers. He returned his thanks to the convention in a brief speech, in which he promised to do all things possible for the success of the ticket, and urged his hearers to do everything in their power to keep up the party organization. At the conclusion of Mr. Williams' address the convention adjourned sine die.

PLAYERS FRISKED OVER THE GREEN

Populace Well Pleased With Antics of Jessup's Recruits. SEVERAL LIKELY MEN. ACTIONS OF BURNS, ARESMITH AND ALL NEW MEN WERE GOOD TO LOOK AT EARLHAM BEING PLAYED THIS AFTERNOON. (By Tort.) Manager Jessiip's tribe of frisky colts took advantage of the first warm weather of the week and indulged in a hard workout at Athletic park. The play field was entirely too gooey to be used, so the candidates ambled to the plot of ground south of the club house. A big crowd of populace witnessed the proceedings and all of them were greatly impressed with the braves Chief Jessup has gathered together All of the boys are in splendid condition and after a good workout today with Karl ham collegians t hey should be able to make a pretty good showing tomorrow against the Indianapolis league team. "That certainly is a nice looking bunch of fellows," remarked Manager Jessup who spent a busy afternoon, one eye watching the fence sign painters and the other glued on the recruits. Burns Likely. One of the likely looking candidates is Burns, the big, rangy first sacker. At bat he stands well and when he leans against the horsehido it travels. In the infield his actions are quick, easy and graceful. Hedjuk. the other Cleveland recruit, also looked good to the fans. He is short, stocky built, and looks like a ball player. Ho handled himself nicely in the field and at bat. Fred Fiant is as frisky as a calf this year. He was hittin' 'em a mile yesterday. Aresmith, the Terre Haute pitcher, who comes highly recommended, is built on the generous lines of a lamp post, but he handles himself nicely and looks good. Aresmith spent his time lobbing the ball to Witherow, Brown and Wiltermood, all of whom suffered from the uniform famine. BTeming and Conner spent an hour or more steaming them into the mitts of Catch ers Lindsey and Clark. Both of these lads look awfully good and it will be a pretty fight between them for the job of extra catcher. Conner had all kinds of speed yesterday, and he had to be cautioned not to burn them over too hard. Tick is in splendid shape this year and has an excellent chance of landing a berth on the twirling staff. Fleming worked out nicely with Lindsey handling his offerings. Parker, Bambraugh, Minzler, Shinn and Hanna are rapidly rounding into form and are chuck full of ginger. With the favorable weather todaythere is no reason' why the playing field at Athletic park should not be in lairly good condition for the game tomorrow afternoon. It is expected that a monster crowd will be on hand. Ev ery bug in the city is anxious to get a glance at Jessup's hopefuls. CAPTAIN PARRY Fast Ohio League Teams to Come Here. Captain Parry of the Richmond polo team is arranging a series of games to be played next week and the week following with the Coshocton, Mans field and Ashland teams of the Ohio State league. No dates have yet been announced. The Ashland team won the league championship, o Metz, a local boy, is goal tender for this fast five.

DUCK HUNTING SEASON CLOSED

The Law Deals Harshly With Those Shooting Now. Duck hunters are warned. The season has closed and detection will mean a heavy fine. The law does not make the duck hunting season very long, but it does not excuse those who lengthen it on iheir own responsibility. The crack of the rifle in the woods intimates there may be someone in quest of the squirrel. Tn shoot a squirrel one takes chances cm paying a $40 fine. Prospects are not the most pleasant. RUSSIAN IS DEFEATED Gotch Won Over the Demon in a Sensational Wrestling Match Last. Night. HACK WAS HOOTED. Chicago, April -J. After two hours and five miuutes of wrestling last night, George Hackenschniidt, the Russian Lion, quit in his match with Prank Gotch, of America, for the championship of the world. Twenty-thousand people hooted Hack when he showed signs of th "white feather." while cheer after cheer was given for the American boy. The result of the match was the biggest surprise in the history of the wrestling game. At 111: 15 a. m. Hack asked for a draw, but was turned down. Gotch had Hack twice on the mat, but the Russian managed to get to his feet again. Hack was apparently all in. Gotch then tried the toe hold. The spectators then started crowding in the ring. Chief of Police Shippey and his men kept pushing them back. The police were having a hard time. Hack was very tired, while Gotch was com paratively fresh. Hack was down on all fours, then up and backing around the ring. He finally wiggled out of it puffing like an engine. Gotch again pushing him around the ring on all fours and still trying for the toe hold. Then Hack gave up. KIBBEYS AGAIN ANNEXED VICTORY Greeks Downed in a Close Contest. At the coliseum last evening, the Kibbey team defeated the Greeks in a game played as a preliminary to the professional contest. The cravat clerks won by a score of 4 to 3 and the contest was well fought and high ly interesting. Bayer and Henley, the two fast Kibbey rushes, played their last gap-'- together. Both of them have decided to give up the sport, Their work last evening was the feat ure of the contest. MOTHER SOBBED OVER ERRING Grief Stricken, Mrs. Stailey Appeared in Circuit Court. THE CHARGE AGAINST HIM. HOMER, IT IS ALLEGED, SECURED MONEY UNDER FALSE PRETENSESBOUND OVER TO CIRCUIT COURT. Homer Stailey, aged seventeen years, was bound over to the circuit court this morning by Judge Converse while the lad's mother sobbed as though her heart would break. "Oh my boy, my boy to think that I would have to come here to see you behind prison bars." Snuffling into a red bandanna young Stailey was led. from the court room. With his arm around her waist and tears in his eyes Mr. Stailey led his heart broken wife out of the city building. Young Stailey is charged with securing money under false pratenses.. Yesterday he was arrested for semiring a pair of shoes from the Railroad store on a forged order. This is the second time Stailey has been in trouble. When he was arrested the first time Judge Converse allowed him his freedom on a promise never to get into trouble again. With head bowed the lad this morning heard Judge Converse gently reproach him for breaking his word. "I gave you a chance Homer and you promised to take advantage of it. Now I find that you have broken the promise you made me, so I will have to bind you over to the circuit court." Stailey was first arrested for stealing some money from the Greenhoff grocery. He also admitted at the time that he was arrested on this charge that he had secured money from Greenhoff under false pretenses. The lad would write a note to the grocer asking for the loan of money and to this note he would forge his mother's name. It is probable that the lad will be sent to the Plainfield reform school

PRETZEL QUINTET

HANDED A LEMON Richmond Polo Team Defeat ed Zanesville in an Exciting Overtime Game. THE VISITORS HAD LUCK. THREE INS AND OUTS MARKED RICHMOND'S WORK DURING THE GAME WORK OF HULSSNER AT GOAL WAS EXCELLENT. Messrs. Korzelius, Zirbes, Reichert, Brennan and Hulssner, the pretzel po lo quintet of Zanesville, took the short end of a o to 4 overtime game last night when they went up against the blue-clad Quakers. The game was very exciting. It would never anppea ovei into overtime play but for the luck of Mr. Hulssner, the demon Buckeye goal tend. Three times the locals rapped hot ones through his well protected underpining. only to have them roll out into tho arena attain. About six hundred of the flower of our beauty and manhood were highly pieaseu ov er the result of the hard fought contest. In the first period both teams got away with a dash and it was a battle royal for ten minutes, then one Sox Quigley snapped a teaser into the cage. This was the only count in the opener. In the second the Quigley brothers negotiated another goal to the deep chargin of Mr. Hulssner. Zanesville then made a decided brace and by chain-lightning, a la Eddie Higgins work, Korzelius rapped two counts behind Alexander and when the dust of the second period settled the game was 2 to 2 draw. In the third Richmond broke away from the lead by a beautiful goal by Parry. Korzel'us became peever over this and getting up a full head of steam he tied the score then in rapid order pushed Zanesville into the lead by the prettiest goal of the evening. Five minutes before the close Sox Quigley rapped a stinger past Hulssner. In the over time both teams btarted out with a rush. Louie Quigley after about a minute of play got a mortgage on the pellet and succeeded in prying it through the limbs of Mr. Hulssner. The lineup follows: Zanesville Richmond Korzelius Rush S.

But he also stated that Dr. West had lost sight of the bright pupil in endeavoring to help the dull child. He thought it more important that the bright child be developed than that the dull child be saved. Society is Divided. The speaker also pointed out that American society is divided into strata and that the needs of each stratum should be met. "It is an unwelcome fact but a true one nevertheless." he said, "that the American child Is a being of destiny. The schools must take into account that destiny. And by doing so, can they give him a liberal education. And let me repeat that a liberal education does not belong to the minority. That would be untrue to the republic, that would be untrue to God." In the high school section a commit tee appointed to investigate the ad visability of uniform text-books report ed unfavorably upon the plan. The newly elected officers of the association are: President, J. T. Giles, Marion; vice president, E. H. Drake, Elkhart; secretary. Miss Zella Wig ent; treasurer O. M. Pittinger, Alex andria. Earhart Speaks. Before the music section which met in high school hall yesterday after noon Prof. Will Earhart of Richmond. gave an interesting lecture on the use of the player-piano in the high school 'There is much prejudice against the player-piano," said Prof. Earhart, "but there are also points in its favor. The first of these is its availibility. I tried for years in the Richmond high school to get good piano music before the pupils. Now and then I could induce some pianist to come to the high school and play a selection. But that was just enough to give the pupils a misapprehension of the piece. Then we introduced the player-piano and by means of it I can bring a selection before the pupils as often as I wish. "Another thing in favor of the p!ay er-piano is that the best things in rau sic me so-called classical composi tions are the most available. The symphonies, sonatas and the great overtures can be best rendered on the player-piano." As illustrations of the methods he advocated Prof. Earhart played a Nocturne from "Midsummer Night"' Dream." Schuman's "Arabesque" and a number from Beethoven's "Fifth ymphony." He was of the opinion that the player-piano has been a great help in the teaching of music in the Richmond schools. His address was well-received and evoked much applause. Gold Medal Flour leads them all. 6UKTT.

STATE TEACHERS WILL BENEFIT Andrew Carnegie Sets Aside Millions for Their Pension. FOLLOWS ORIGINAL GIFT. AT FIRST STATE PROFESSORS WERE NOT INCLUDED IN PENSION BENEFICARIES NATIONAL ASSOCIATION URGED IT. New York, April 4. Announcement was made last night that Andrew Carnegie would add $5,000,000 to the fund of the Carnegie foundation, or whatever sum might be necessary to include as pension beneficiaries eligible professors of state universities. No provision was made for this class of educators in the original gift for the reason, that the donor thought it possible that such institutions might prefer that their relations should continue exclusively with the stf.te from which their chief support was derived. This view was not taken by the Nat ional Association of State Universities which in the year following the establishment of the foundation petitioned the trustees for admittance to the benefits of the retiring allowance sys tem. Original Gift $10,000,000. The Carnegie foundation was estab lished by Mr. Carnegie on April 27 1905, with a gift of a trust fund of $10,000,000 in 5 per cent first mortgage bonds of the United States Steel corporation. This fund was placed in the care of trustees, who include the presidents of the better known colle ges ana universities oi tne country. The revenues of the fund provides pensions for teachers of universities, colleges and technical schools in the United States, Canada and Newfound land, which are retired after twentyfive years' service or having reached the age of 65 years, having taught 15 years preceding. From the benefits of the trust were excluded institutions supported by state or colonial government and schools under sectarian control. Mr. Pritchett last night made public Mr. Carnegie's letter promising the further gift and a statement regarding the action of the National Association of State Universities.
