WIDOWERS SUFFER FROM TIMIDITY IN LOVEMAKING IVIrs. Pittsford Says That Mr. Vaughan Must Have Been Timid or He Would Not Have Appealed for Help.

fcANGER OF A RETRIAL OF CASE HAS PASSED. 0udge Henry C. Fox This Morning Sustained Motion Of Plaintiff's Attorneys to Change Complaint. By the action of Judge H C. Fox of 4he Wayne Circuit court in sustaining tne motion of the counsel for t he plainttiff in the Smith-Vaughan breach of promise case, (lie necessity for a re4 rial was obviated. The judge permitted the complaint to be amended. I'poti the motion of the defendant's nounstl. a separation of the complaint into paragraphs was required and thereupon the ueiendant filed demur-j-ers to the separate paragraphs and took exceptions to the rulings. The hearing of the case was brought lo a temporary close yesterday afternoon, an hour earlier than the regular closing time. The attorneys for the plaintiff asked permission to amend their complaint and the attorneys for the defendant opposed. The court stated he would like to consult the authorities in regard to the powers of the plaintiff, to amend a complaint and court was adjourned. The plaintiff's counsel stated at the time that all of their evidence had been presented, so far ,as they knew at the time. They reserved the right, to present further evidence on the resumption of court, Monday. Complaint to Evidence. The argument on the motion of Messrs. Robbins and .Johnson for the jilaintiff took place this morning. They claimed they wished to amend the complaiut so as to conform to the evidence. They desired to si ipuiate ' specifically the date the alleged contract, of marriage between plaintitf and defendant "was made. In the original complaint it was stated the agreement was consummated in March or April or subsequent thereto. Kvidence was introduced to show the date had been in June. i:nm. The defendant claimed the issues of the case were made up on the complaint as it was drawn originally. The allegations in the complaint named March or April as the months and the case had been contested partially on that understanding. Mr. Study, fcpeaking for the defendant, urged that ten entire new paragraph be added to the complaint rather than permit an lamendment. After an examination of the demurrers, Judg Fox sustained them. This throws out of the case any bearing that jnay have been had by the marriage contract of 1!4, and will permit only subsequent contracts to figure. Under the statutes of Indiana, unless a contract be put in writing, it becomes oid one year after the time it is confcnimated. In reviewing the matter Judge Fox plated that he had examined into the history of the case and would have had wious doubts of the soundness of the Complaint had it been demurred to loriginally. He said he could not see fwhat harm could come from an amendment and it looks like a hardship to refuse the amendment and require that Jhe case be retried from the start, inRsmuch as so much evidence has been presented and the case progressed -so (far.

FAVOeS INSPECTION

Ivan C. Weld Thinks Increase In Cost of Milk Is a Little Item. A GENERAL DISCUSSION. Ivan C. Weld. an attache of the dairy division of the bureau cf animal industry at Washington, D. C, gave a stereopticon Illustrated lecture last evening before the Wayne County Anti-Tuberculosis society. It was a most interesting lalk and was a thorough exposition of the evils resulting from impure milk. Mr. Weld advocated systematic inspection of all milk and showed by his stereopicon views the ideal dairy. He said that milk inspection would necessarily increase the price of milk, but he thought that in return for the safeguard of health offered by milk inspection all classes of milk consumers would be willing to meet this increase in price, which he thought would be slight. He also stated that from contact with the better class of dairymen all over the country he found that all of them were ready for a reform in milk inspection. LONGING FOR HOME LEO TO CAPTURE Worley Osborn, Slayer of Kokomo Girl Captured at Logansport. CONFESSES TO THE CRIME. SAYS FAIRY McCLAIN CURSED HIM AND HE BECAME ANGERED AND FIRED THE FATAL SHOTTAKEN BACK TO KOKOMO. Ixigansport, Tnd., April IS. Worley Osborn, wanted at Kokomo for the murder of his sweetheart. Fairy JlcClain. near midnight of April 7, was arrested in the Panhandle yards here last night and made a complete confession of his crime. It was Osborn's desire to return to his home that caused his capture. He told of his journey to Canada and declared he was about to take a train for Greentown. On his person were found the revolver with which he killed his sweetheart and a Canadian bill. Once ir jail. Osborn made a confession rel; ing with vividness his crime and tracing his course until he was captured. 'Osborn's version of the affair was different from the story told by Mrs. Nay: He declared last night that he went to the Nay home to see Mrs. Nay anil did not know that his sweetheart was there. His victim, he declared, ! cursed him and it was this that angereil hint and caused him to fire the J fatal shot. He told of his escape, ! clearing tip a mystery which has com-! pletely mystified the police. He told , how he had walked from the house j after the crime; concealed himself in j a barn; how the next day he had gone to his home in Greentown, where ho learned that he had killed his sweetheart. From Greentown he fled to Wabash, and from there to Detroit and thence across the border to Canada. "Some damnable thing." he said, took hold of him and caused him to return to America from Canada. He crossed again to Michigan and it was in Detroit when he was siezed with an uncontrollable desire to return to his home and to the scene of his crime. He had planned to visit once more the familiar scenes and then escape to the Facific coast. Sheriff Lindley arrived last night from Kokomo to get the prisoner.

ELOQUENT APPEAL

REGISTERED FOR GOOD COOPERATION Mrs. F. W. Stephens of Aftermath Club Sets Forth Reasons Why Richmond People Should Clean Yards. NOVEL MOVE ON PART OF WEST RICHMONDITES. Will Gather on Ma "iM-t Bridge and Later c ii-e Probable Site of RiveisV Park.

The action of the loci. , endorsing "yard cloanin, . .' movement was inaugurateu v.Hies of the Tuesday Afterniati, c1 . has attracted Hie attention of people all over the slate and it is probable ihatvsimilar movements will be stalled in other Indiana cities. Mrs. F. W. Stephens, chairman of the civic ; P'-ovenient committee of ihe Af'terni 4 ' club, today made the following lament : "The movement in Kichmoi 'i yard cleaning day, recently ii '. ed by the ladies of the Afiei 4 ... . meeting with universal approval. "The officials of the city warmly encourage the undertaking. The mayor will issue a proclamation that three hours on the afternoon of May 1st be devoted to that purpose. All the clubs and improvement associations are to unite their efforts to make the day a note-worthy one perhaps establishing an annual custom to thus observe May day. "Other cities all over the land are trying yard cleaning to their great advantage, indeed, city-making is the pressing question of the present, day. A revival of municipal improvement is sweeping the country, tl effect of which is of greater importance than might at first appear. "Kvery successful effort to adorn a city lot has a valuable influence lflmn the community in which it. is sitini."i Kvery successful attempt to ihe beauty of the home groii only adds to their attractiveness i '. contributes greatly to the happic -and material success of the residents.

"A weed patch, a dump for rubbish and ashes, and a tidy, well kept lot, alike proclaim the character of the one who owns or rents it. The commonest back yard can be transformed into a thing of beauty, the ' ' desert made to blossom as ti. ,. longer uninviting premises. ..; rear views, but evenly cut grass, lowers and vines to comrort. cheer and bless. Richmond may v eil be clothed in matchless beauty, but such a condition requires intelligent, attentions. Her citizens are urged to cultivate a commendable civic pride. May 1st is a splendid opportunity to unite in a concerted action for better appearance and more wholesome sanitary surroundings. The appeal is for all to join the movement, combining a little cheerful toil with a rake and a broom, and thus add to and preserve the beauty nature has already so aboundingly bestowed upon our city. larger, more pretentious plans for our future adornment may follow, in fact may develop into an annual beautifying Mayday festival." West Richmond residents will clean their yards the day before, however, and on moving day "donate their services to the city. On that day tEe male residents will be expected to gather at. the Main street bridge. They are to go armed with rakes, hoes. axes, spades, sickles and tree trimmers. All will unite in working north from the bridge through the s.Ite or the proposed Riverside park and clean out all the weeds and underbrush and rubbish. It is proposed to permit the general public to see just what are . - bilities of the part of the !s.z.d? " . . a park. During th" . .

Mr. Foulke demanded the rignt rn free speech for any and ail persons on any and all subjects, so long athey did not incite to assassination murder or violence. Hp advocated a law which would make the man or woman who incited to murder, tJthe: by written argument, or spoken ap peal, guilty of murder along with tht murderer himself. But h xtret.t. tisly insisted that all of th int -ru dutc ' ar-auments between anarchy, at one extreme, and socialism at th other, should be freely and fully h at.l be fore tinal judgment is ma-.i i.y h- , American people. Mr. Koulke's subject was 'Th Kight. of Free Speech," and h: ad dress was listener! to with rapt attention by city club members. j Because anarchists, some of them I do violate th law and are guilty o very grat crimes, this hardly Justifies j the supporter of lw and order and thos who are in favor of pr unf! of sweetness and light In a enmtnuni- ' ty to propose to maintain these by the violation of law," said Mr. Fo-tilke "And that is what it seems to me the Chicago police did. 1 "I believe that, a highly dveopd I social existence without government is. in the present condition of human ' nature, the wildest and craziest hu- ' man imrtosslbility which it ban -ever ' entered into the heart of man to con- ! ceive. 1 Hat Right to Speak. ! "My proposition Is that no matter how wild the theory, any man has a right to advocate It by argument which comes short of instigating mn to crimf. The Federal Constitution declares that Congress shall make no laws abridging freedom of speech or of th press. I think the laws might profitably b amended, made more strict in som particulars. I believe it ought to b a crime for one man to 1 persuade another to murder, whether I the murder actually is attemptM in I pursuance of that persuasion or not."
