GRADUATE MANAGER HAMED ATEARLHAM Ben Graves Will Have Entire Supervision Over Athletics HARRELL NAMED CAPTAIN.

HIS SELECTION TO LEAD QUAKER SQUAD IS GOOD ONE FIRST FOOTBALL SCRIMMAGE TONIGHT. The selection of Ben Graves, a former Earlham star, as graduate manager of athletics Is an inovation at Earlham. Never before In the history of the school has there been a graduate manager of athletics and It is expected this move will be of great advantage to the institution. Graves will have entire supervision over athletics so Mr. Vail will now only have to direct his attention to the actual training of the various athletic teams. Howard Wlnslow will act as treasurer of the athletic association. The election of Harrell as captain of the tejam insures a good field leader for the Quakers. Harrell is a heady, skilfull and nervy player and last year was one of the mainstays of the team. Harrell was captain of the base ball team last spring. By the encouragement Earlham is now extending to athletics, it is shown that the officials of the college realize the importance of sports in making an Institution popular and attracting young men to the school. Wabash, a few years ago an obscure school is now one of the best known colleges in the middle west owing to the prominence it has given its athletics. Coach Vail will give his huskies their first preliminary scrimmage this afternoon. At 4 o'clock Coach Horton of the high school will sic his outfit onto the Quakers and the fun will be on. Saturday Earlham lines up against Antioch college at Reid Field and Vail is very anxious to get his men In good shape for the game. Yesterday there was no school at the college and Vail took the opportunity of giving his men a workout "both in the nrning and the afternoon. The variety and the scrubs were each run through stiff signal practice and the way they worked out was very encouraging to the coach. THEY ARE NUMEROUS Wrestlers All Over the Country Are Attracted by Richmond Bouts. WILEY'S DEFI ACCEPTED. The wrestling games which will be held in this city throughout the winter are attracting the attention of wrestlers all over the country and every day challenges for publication are received by the sporting writer of the Palladium. " Yesterday the challenge of Perry A. Wiley, the Philadelphia featherweight champion was published.' He wanted to meet any one of his class. Now comes C. W. Oel, of this city, formerly of Indianapolis, and states he will accept Wiley's challenge. Oel has participated In several wrestling matches at Indianapolis and Is said to be a good man. He asks that Wiley communicate with him. ' This morning's mail brought an open challenge from Joe La Salle of Chicago, a clever French-Canadian mat artist He wants to take on the winner of the: Busch-Turk match Friday night He will wrestle for any purse and nnder any conditions, providing that the match is catch-as-catch-can. His address is 93 Dearborn avenue, Chicago, 111. o All the Turk dropped Into the office this morning fresh from a long training run. The big fellow is in splendid condition and states he Is confident of defeating Busch Friday night All the sport lovers In the city now have the wrestling fever bad and the coliseum Friday night will probably hold a big crowd. ; V ' ' A Night of Agony. The most peculiar accident that ever cam to my notice happened to a commercial traveler In Massachusetts. He had been out late and in returning to his hotel wandered beyond the town limit and before he realized it was plowing through stubbly fields in inky darkness. Of a sudden he plunged over a bank and just managed to throw his body around sufficiently to clutch, the edge of the earth with his fingers. For hours it seemed he hung there. At last he could endure it no longer and let go. He dashed down down about six inches and then stopped. He bad been hanging all the time with hia feet almost touching the ground. In the morning they palled him out of an unfinished weiL He was crying like a baby, and his hair, that had been raven black the eight before, was white as -I'l-nor? American. Dignified. Certainly the coachman to her late majesty, Queen Victoria, had a befitting sense of the dignity and responsibility of his position. On the occasion of the jubilee of 18S7 he was risked if he was driving any of the royal and Imperial guests at that time quartered In Buckingham palace. "Xo. Kir," was his reply. "I am the iwBi nweaau. 1 non t nrfr f lffraff." - v ,-. iVater bills due Oct first. 28 lOt

Thinks Salvation of Town Depends Upon Conversion of "Bat" Nelson

Chicago, III., Sept. 30. Rev. S. A. Dennis, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church of Hegewisch, has startled the Temperance Committee of the Rock River Conference by saying that the salvation of Hegewisch must be achieved through the conversion of "Battling" Nelson, champion lightweight pugilist of the world, who owns the place, body, soul and boots: Pastor Dennis says "The Battler" is in the habit of tossing hundred-dollar bills into the saloons as he passes, Affairs of the By New York splitting even on a double header with Philadelphia yesterday while the Cubs were spanking the Reds. Chicago is today in first place by a margin of one point. Small as the lead is, the Giants will have to go some to overcome itDetroit, Cleveland, . Chicago and St. Louis, the four American league leaders, each won a double-header yesterday and the position in the American league remain unchanged. Donlin and Bresnahan of the Giants have suffered sprained ankles and there is a possibility that these two great players will be out of the game a day or two. Their loss will severely cripple New York. McGraw Is In the depths of dispair. There Is no doubting the fact that the aquisition of Ownie Bush made Detroit a contender for the pennant He stopped up the hole at shortstop caused by the shifting of Germant Schaefer to third base. The kid has been playing a whirlwind game and all the girls In Tlgertown are foolish in their Merry Widows about him. "With the prospects of having 130 men as candidates for the varsity team when college opens. Dartmouth certainly looka formidable, especially when it is remembered the wealth of material left over from last year. "Tad" Jones pays Tibbott, the Princeton halfback, the compliment of saying that he was one of the best backs developed last season. Vic Willis of the Pirates pitched a total of sixty innings against New York this year, allowing the Giants all told only thirteen runs and thirtyfive hits. He won three games, lost two and tied one, and in only one event did he give the Giants more than two runs. . According to the season's list of football officials, Fred Crolius, the old Dartmouth player, who later was a member of the Boston National league base ball team, will again coach VIIlanova, although he will officiate a good deal for the general board.

Economy Ministers Is Economy, Ind., Sept. SO.This little town boasts of an athletic minister and from all reports he is a star, although his years and dignity of profession may make that expression slightly inapropos. Those devout worshipers who have listened attentively to his sermons would be surprised to see their pastor madly dashing across the lime lines, hugging tightly the oval pigskin and knocking and push

so that his friends may celebrate. "If 'Battling Nelson were to become a Methodist," he declared, "every man, woman and child in the place would forthwith join the church. I have prayed unremittingly for the conversion of "The Battler." I believe he is the most decent fellow that ever was in the prize-fighting business." Mr. Dennis pointed out that if Nelson joined the church, with his remarkable tenacity of opinion and effort, he would be one of the most tremendous fighters in Its ranks.

Mike "Twin" Sullivan, who still claims the welterweight championship title because ha secured a decision over Jimmy Gardner in a twenty-five-round battle at Jim Jeffries' club at Los Angeles, Cal., a few months ago, says that he will gladly take on Harry Lewis for the. title if any of the big clubs in the west will offer enough money for them to battle for. The Armory A. A. of Boston may get the match. Eddie Smith, the popular referee of California, who judged the recent Gans-Nelson fight at Colma, Cal., will be the third man in the ring when Owen Moran, the English featherweight, and Eddie Hanlon the San Francisco lightweight, fight their 20 round battle in 'Frisco' tonight. Smith was selected as the referee at a meeting held between the club officials, Charley Harvey, manager of Moran, and Hanlon. SHOWS PLANNED FOeFESTIVL Fish and Dogs May Be Seen During Big. Event Next Week. DECORATORS START FRIDAY MAIN AND NORTH E STREETS WILL BE BEDECKED WITH SIGNS AND ' PENNANTS PRESENTING ATTRACTIVE SCENE. The executive committee of the fall festival has decided to have a fish show, and Is contemplating holding a dog show. It is a little known fact that some of the finest species of fish native to the waters in this Bectlon of the country, are bred In Wayne county. One of the fish breeding firms has already signified its intention of exhibiting during the fall festival. This firm, Noff and Mine, who conduct a gold fish hatchery on the farm of Harry Meek, near the city, are said to have the finest hatchery of its kind in the country. Every kind of specijnen of gold fish is bred by them, so their exhibition will be one of unusual merit Other fish, experts in this section of the country are also expected to be represented by an exhibit. Milton Elrode is contemplating holding a dog show, but as yet he has formulated no definite plan. There would be considerable work in connection with holding a dog show and it would be necessary for him to arrange for a premium list, so it is doubtful if the dog fanciers of the county will have an opportunity of exhibiting their prospective prize winners. s On Friday the active work of decorating the city for the fall festival will commence. This work is In the hands of an Indianapolis firm and it will send experts to the city. This firm will place arches on Main street, decorative signs and pennants on the iron trolley polS and wire trolley supports. When the work is completed. Main street and North E street in the neighborhood of the depot will present a most attractive scene.

CAMPAIGN WEATHER CAUSES INTEREST

Local Republicans Show More Enthusiasm Over Politics. GARFIELD THURSDAY NIGHT JUDGE BARNARD'S ITINERARY THROUGH WAYNE COUNTY WILL BE ARRANGED THURSDAY BY COUNTY COMMITTEE. With the arrival of "campaign weather" interest in politics has experienced a decided boom. From the national committee down to the precinct committeemen an activity is now apparent that was not manifest before the mercury dropped. With the decreased temperature came a corresponding increase in enthusiasm especially among local republicans, that augurs well for the result of the vote on November 3. Indications point to a somewhat different audience at the coliseum Thursday evening, compared with that which heard the opening of the campaign by the Hon. Edgar Dean Crumpacker, last week. There will be no hot weather and outlandish noises to contend with, in the first place, and besides there will be a somewhat clarified political atmosphere, that will permit of a more concentrated atten tion on the Issues of the national campaign. In the address of the Hon. James R. Garfield, secretary of the interior in the cabinet of President Roosevelt, local republicans anticipate an inspir ation that will hpve its influence throughout the entire month continu ing until and through the deciding day. Mr. Garfield comes prepared to present Roosevelt doctrines In a manner surpassed by none in the nation with the possible exception of Candidate William Howard Taft. He is not a spellbinder, but just a stralght-from-the shoulder talker, who always has before him and at his command an irresistable array of facts, that will appeal especially to the republicans of this city and county. Following Mr. Garfield, the coming of Seth Low, ex-mayor of New York, former president of Columbia university, and close friend of President Roosevelt; Senior Senator Albert J. Beveridge, of Indiana; John L. Griffiths, United States consul to Liverpool, England and others of comparative ability promise to keep things going for a while, at least Later in the campaign Congressman James E. Watson, candidate for governor ' on the republican ticket and Judge William O. Barnard, . candidate for congress from the Sixth district, to succeed Mr. Watson, will appear here. Judge Barnard's itinerary through the county, the week of October 26, will be arranged at the meeting of the Wayne county republican central com mittee, on Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Other township rallies will be arranged at this meeting. The pre cinct committeemen will meet with the committee and in addition to receiving Instructions and the books for taking the thirty day poll, the last and most important work of the kind for the present campaign, will listen to a few suggestions from the Hon. Jack Gowdy, of Rushville, former state chairman and one of the ablest organizers the party ever knew in In diana. BRYAN RESENTS CHARGE RE IS WITH TRUSTS (Continued from Page One) knowledge or information tht could in remotest way connect me with any trust, monopoly or "law-defying corporation. My record is sufficient answer to your insinuation. I have lived in vain if your accusations have lost me a single friend. I challenged you to name a trust official who is support ing me, and after searching the coun try, you produce one man, not a trust official, but a local attorney of a trust. Without inquiring whether he votes for me because of his connection with a trust, or in spite of it. or because of his fear of "business adversity" un der Mr. Taft, you accept his statement that he will rote for me as conclusive proof that I am in league with the trusts, although you admit that trust officials are supporting the republican ticket. You compliment me when you measure by a higher standard than you do your political associates, for you Insist that Mr. Rockefeller's contribution to Governor Hughes' campaign fund was no reflection upon him, and I take it for granted that you do not criticise Jadge Taffs reecommendation of a Standard Oil attorney to the federal bench, a place where the judge might have to pass upon charges against the very trust for which he has been attorney. While the trust attorney to whom you refer is not an official of a trust, I will warn him, and through him his clients, that if I am elected I will not only -vigorously enforce against all offenders the laws which we hope to have enacted in compliance with the remocratic policies, but that I will also vigorously enforce existing laws against any and all who violate them, and that I will enforce them, not spasmodically and intermittently, but peristenUy and consistently; they will

not be suspended even for the protection of Cabinet officers. ' ; You say "the attitude of many men 1 of large financial interests" warrants you In expressing the belief that those ' trust magnates whose fear of being

prosecuted under the law by Mr. Taft is greater than their fear of general business adversity" under me. will support me rather than Mr. Taft. Calls Statement Ingenious. You have attempted to word that statement in such a way as to claim the support of all the trust magnates, and yet put it on the ground that they are supporting your party for patriotic reasons rather than for the promotion of selfish interests. j This is ingenious, but is not sound. The trust magnates are supporting the Republican party and the Bible offers an explanation: "The ox knoweth his owner and the ass his master's crib." You admit that you gave permission to the Steel Trust to absorb a rival, and thus increase its control of the output of steel and iron products. I will leave the American people to pass judgment upon that act and compare your position on the trust question with mine. You refer to our campaign fund of 1S96 and accuse us of allowing two men to contribute largely to the small fund with which the committee con ducted the campaign. I am not sure about the figures, because I have not seen an authentic statement of the contributions, but I was informed that the largest of the two sums which you mention was not all contributed by the man to whom it was credited, but included contribu tions from others as well as that which he gave himself. But if you want to be fair, why did you not give the amount of the Republican campaign fund that year and the sources of it? I am willing to have both funds published. Are you? If some of those who contributed to our fund of less than $300,000 had a pecuniary interest in the result of the election, how will you explain the enormous contributions made to the Republican fund? If you will remember, the Democratic platform candidly declared the party's purpoee. If the carrying out of that policy would have been of ad vantage to any one, the whole public had knowledge and the publication of the contributions would not have affected the result. Object to Publicity. Publicity as to campaign funds is not needed to make known that which is disclosed by the platform, but to direct attention to secret agreements, expressed or implied, which would otherwise be concealed from the public. You certainly pay more attention to the mote than the beam when you find fault with our national campaign fund In 1S96 and ignore the significance of a fond almost as large, which, at your request, was collected from a few persons in 1904 and was used In one state and was only a small item in the fund collected that year. But your' letter presents a defense of our party's position and an accu sation against the voters which em phasize an issue already prominent. You are the first conspicuous mem ber of your party to attempt an expla nation of the party's opposition to publicity before the election, and the admission which you make will embarrass your party associates. Your position is that the publication before election of the contributions made to your campaign fund would furnish your political opponents an opportun ity "to give a false impression" as to the fitness of the candidates. You cite as illustrations the contributions made to Governor Hughes' campaign fund, the contribution collected by Mr. Harriman and the contributions which are now being collected for Mr. Taft's campaign fund. . You charge, in effect that the people are so lacking In intelligence that they might condemn an Improper contribution which you declare to be proper. If the voters differ from you on this question, are they necessarily ignorant and wrong? Must the members of the party organization act as self appoint ed guardians of the people and conceal from them what is going on, lest the people be misled as to the purpose and effect of large contributions? Is this your explanation of the action of the republican leaders In the national con ventlon in voting down a publicity plank? Explanation In Holy Writ. If you will pardon the suggestion, I believe that a better explanation can be found in Holy Writ, for do we not read of men loving darkness rather than light, because their deeds are evil? You attempt to make a personal question of it and ask whether any one will accuse such men as you, Governor Hughes and Mr. Taft of being influenced by contributions. That Is not the question. If It Is found that a party to a suit has given a sum of money to one of the Jurors, the court does not stop to inquire whether or not the Juror Is an incorruptible man or whether, in accepting the money, he explicitly stated that It was accepted with the understanding that be was under no obligation- to consider it in making up his verdict The court would hold that the giving of the money by an interested party or the receiving of money was a contempt of court and an interference with the- administration of justice. Public officials occupy much the same position as Jurors. They are constantly called upon to decide questions between the favor-seeking corporations on the one hand and the people on the other and there is a very general "impression that officials of these favor-seeking corporations do not put up large sums of money for purely patriotic motives. Mr. Havemeyer testified before a senate committee some years ago that the Sugar trust made it a business to contribute to campaign funds, and that it was its custom to give to the party in power In the state. I do not mean to say that Mr. Hughes was influenced by the contri butions made to him by the trust mag nates whose names were given In the after-election report; I do not mean

to say that you were Influenced by the contributions collected by Mr. Harriman; neither do I mean to say that Mr. Taft will be influenced by the contributions that are being made to his fund by the trust magnates; but I do mean to say that the American people have a right to know what contributions are being made that they may Judge for themselves the motive of the givers and the obligation Imposed upon those who receive. Calls Reflection Unworthy. The reflection upon the people involved in your charge that they would misuse the knowledge which publicity would give, is unworthy of one who has been elevated to so high an office by. the votes of the people, and I. venture the assertion that you can not procure from Mr. Taft an indorsement of your defense. He is now before the people; he is offering himself as a candidate for the presidency; he dare not tell the people to whom he appeals that they have not sense enough to form a just and correct opinion as to the purpoee which leads parties interested in special legislation to make big contributions. You fear that we would misrepresent the motives of those who are contributing to the republican cam paign fund and cast an unjust sus picion upon republican candidates if the names and amounts were made known before the election. Your argument. If sound, would prevent publication after the election, for why should an unjust suspicion be cast upon officials after the election any more than before? Does not the secrecy before the election increase this suspicion? We are going to give you an opportunity to misrepresent the motives of
