MILITARY DAY LUST OF FALL FESTIVAL

COMPANY DRILLS ATTR ACTJIUN d REDS This, Military Day, Is Turned Over to the Tenth Infantry. SCENE ABOUT THE CAMP. fcOLDIERS HUDDLE AROUND THE CAMP FIRES SPINNING THEIR ARMY YARNS AND LISTENING TO VETERANS OF '61. Hundreds of people were attracted to Glen Miller this morning to witness the company drills on the. big field just north i of the Chautauqua grounds, grounds, where the Tenth infantry is in camp. The companies marched to the parade grounds in battalions, then each company went to different sections of the parade ground and executed their field movements such as only the regular soldiers know how to do Just right. Never has a prettier sight been seen at the big park. The soldier boys, all looking business like in their new olive drab uniforms and carrying the latest model Bervice rifle, a dangerous look, ing weapon, went through the drills with a precision that won the admiration of the big crowd. While the four companies of one battalion would be drilling on the parade ground, the soldiers of the other two battalions hugged the camp fires fcrlghtly. burning on the company etreets."Go down to one of those camp-fire gatherings and keep your ears wide open. At each one you will find a confirmed liar spinning yarns," remarked an officer to a newspaper man. Near one of the fires 6tood a veteran of the civil war going through the manual or arms before an admiring bunch of troopers. "If the union soldiers had been armed with a rifle like this, the civil war would not have lasted half as long as it did. The old gun ve used in those days operated at both ends. Many a time I was knocked flat op my back after firing a charge."' Another bid soldier, who fought for the "lost cause," under that prince of dare-devil' cavalry leader, Gen. John Morgan, was showing to a group of interested young soldiers a book which set forth the deeds of Morgan, who spread fire and sword through-Indiana and Ohio. This afternoon at 4:30 o'clock there will be a regimental parade at Athletic park, South Twenty-third street, and it Is expected there will be an immense crowd present. ,The plan of the military committee of the fall festival to give each soldier a half pie at the noon mess yesterday fell through with, owing to the fact that the officers of the regiment refused o allow their men to eat pie. "They have a hard march ahead of them, and pie is liable to bring on indigestion," said the officers. As a result of this edict there was much growling among the enlisted men, but your regular soldier is a confirmed growler. "This is the best 4own I ever hit," confided one soldier to his bunkie this morning. "Good Lord, but I had one of those best times last night at the dance. Did you ever see a burg that had as many good-looking girls?" AUTOS WILL PARADE Machines, Probably Fifty Number, Will Be Decorated. in MILITARY BALL PLANS. T'onight there will be an automobile parade along Main street and it is expected there will be over fifty care participating. Owners of cars are requested to assemble at Fourth and Main streets at 7:30. The cars will then parade east along Main street to Glen Miller park. The machines will be prettily decorated and the pageant promises to be one of the most spectacular events of the festival. The grand march at the ball to be given in honor of the officers of the Tenth. Infantry at the coliseum this evening will start at 8:30 o'clock, pnlookers seats in the balcony and gallery will be sold at ipular price and it is expected the big building will be crowded with people. People purchasing onlookers tickets will not be permitted to dance. The dance will be one of the social events of the season and the dance floor will present a brilliant sight, the officers In their uniforms and the 'omen In beautiful evening gowns. SUIT FOR PARTITION. Nellie Gardner has entered suit In the Wayne circuit court for partition of real estate. Benjamin Gardner and William Steward are named as de fendants.

HE SERVED AS A WATERBOY ON ONE OF THE FIRST TRAINS RUNNING BETWEEN RICHMOND AND INDIANAPOLIS. After an absence from the city that continued fifty-two years, Joseph N. Schultz, returned this week to attenQ the fall festival and note the prosperity which the city has encountered during the past half century. Mr. Schultz is the guest of his nephew, John Snavely, claim agent for the Panhandle railroad. At present he is recorder at the Soldiers' Home at Marion. Words failed the grizzled veteran, when he endeavored to express his surprise at the progress Richmond has made in the past fifty-two years, and he 'remarked time and again upon the changes wrought by time. It would be hatrd to find a more interesting conversationalist. He is interesting at any time, but was especially so Tuesday afternoon. He had just seen the Tenth United States in fantry march into the city, and his heart was filled with patriotism and his mind replete with the thrilling memories recalled to him by the sight of the regular army boys. Mr. Schultz was waterboy on one of the first trains that ran between Rich mond and Indianapolis. He remem bered well the progress of the railroads through this section of the state in the early days. But best of all, he likes to talk about the days of the civil war. He is fond of recalling the stirring scenes on the battlefield of Shiloh, and as he watched the regulars pass in review he said they recalled to him the arrival of reinforcements when that battle seemed sure to be lost and following that the turn of the tide for the union forces. HUNTINGTON CAUGHT. Champion Time Server Is Arrested Again. Although he promised on his honor to leave the city by noon when arraigned in police court yesterday. Earl Huntington was found on South Tenth street about 4 o'clock In the afternoon and arrested. He was taken to the county Jail to serve eleven days.

RICHMOND BENEFITS BY FALLFESTIVAL Thousands of Visitors Have Come to the City in the Past Three Days.

FESTIVAL NEXT YEAR. YOUNG MEN'S BUSINESS CLUB HAS BEEN SHOWERED WITH CONGRATULATIONS EXHIBITS STRONG FEATURE. It is an assured fact that another fall festival will be held in this city next year. The success of the festival which closes tonight has been such an unqualified one that every business man in the city, including those few who refused to lend assistance to the movement, is enthusiastic over the plan to make preliminary arrange ments for holding a festival next fall, and to make such arrangements with out loss of time. It is difficult to estimate the number of people who flocked to Rich mond to attend the festival, but it is estimated that on Tuesday there was about 8,000 to 10,000 out of town people in the city. Yesterday the great industrial parade proved a splendid drawing card and it is safe to estimate that between 15,000 and 18,000 came to the city. Today it is anticipated that the out of town people In the city will equal the number here on Tuesday. People who have come to Richmond have showered congratulations on the Young Men's Business club for the splendid manner in which the festival has been conducted. The several exhibits have been all that they were advertised to be. The prizes offered were way above the average prem iums and the excellent judges secured for the various shows rendered per fect satisfaction to the farmers and stock raisers who competed. Not a complaint over an award has yet been registered, which is truly remarkable. The horse show with its two hund red or more entries far exceeded any thing of Its kind ever held in Eastern Indiana and horse men state the class of horses that competed was excep tionally high. All of the places of exhibition have been crowded day and night. The merchants profited greatly by tho plan of having the exhibits scat tered about the central section of the city. The crowd was kept on the move and people thronged into the stores by the hundreds. Thousands of dollars have been left here In the hands of the business men and that is the reason they are wearing such broad smiles and saying such nice things about the festival. The crowds have been exceptionally orderly and they have been splendidly protected by the police. Dips, confidence men and holdup artists have been noticeable for by their absence. This is true of the street corner fakirs and fraud showmen. SCHOOL OOARD COMMENDS FESTIVAL Affair Has Been Conducted in Admirable Manner. "Speaking as a member of the board of education. I wish to state the Richmond Fall Festival has been conducted in a most admirable manner, and has been a credit to the city," stated Lee B. Nusbaum, this morning, to Secretary Edward H. Harris, of the Young Men's Business club. "Street carnivals and festivals generally attract immoral shows and a rowdy class of people, but the festival held her has been free of these evils, consequently the board of education allowed the school children a half holiday yesterday and a half holiday today." "BOQUET" WILTS. Oct. 8, 109S. Editor Palladium, City. Dear Sir In justice to the Richmond papers which have labored so diligently for the success of the Fall Festival, I can say positively that 10 statement has ever been given out by any of the officers of the organization relative to the efficiency or superiority of any one local newspaper. The work of the newspapers has been greatly appreciated, but as far as showing any partiality, Is without foundation. ' Every member of the festival committee has labored to give every man a "square deal," and to Ms end our energies will be consentrated. Very truly yours, E. H. HARRIS, Secretary.

TAFT MEETS HITCHCOCK. CONFER AS TO BEST METHODS OF RUNNING THE CAMPAIGN FROM THIS TIME ON NEW YORK DOUBTFUL. Chicago, Oct. 8. William H. Taft and Frank II. Hitchcock talked over campaign plans and decided that the field for action from now until election day is in the east, Indiana and Ohio being included and New York being emphasized. Mr. Taft, for some reason or other, wished to attack the solid south. It may have been his idea that an assault on the democratic stronghold might keep the enemy busy at home for a while, or it may have been that he wished to accede to the requests of many southern republicans. The reason for his wish to go south is not explained and the wish Itself is not likely to be realized to any great extent. He will speak in Louisville and probably Tennessee if a meeting can be arranged in that state. His time from now on until election is to be given chiefly to New York, Indiana and Ohio. James Sherman, the vice presidential candidate, will spend most of the remaining time in the east, where the republican forces will be concentrated. Senator A. J. Beve ridge, as soon as he has finished his western trip, will be placed in Indiana. Three States Hold The Key. The action of the reDublican managers Indicates their belief that the contest has narrowed down to three states New York, Ohio and Indiana and these three states will receive the full attention of the party. Mr. Taft's schedule has not been arranged in detail, but after his talk with Mr. Hitchcock it was announced that he would speak at various places In his own state next Monday and Tuesday, that Wednesday Snd Thursday probably would be spent in Indi ana and that the last two days of the week might be devoted to the southern trip which the candidate desires to make. It is almost certain th-t he will speak in Louisville and possible that he will go into Tennessee. At least one week and possibly two will be given to New York. The candidate will finish the campaign there with the aid of Mr. Sherman and possibly with that of Hughes. Hitchcock's Attention on New York. With the heavy oratorical workers centered in New York, Mr. Hitchcock expects to give mobt of his time to that state. It seems to be regarded by the republican managers a3 the battlefield of the campaign. They are dubious about Indiana, but they are concerned chiefly with New York. Wealthy men of that state who have contributed heavily in other campaigns to republican funds have withdrawn their aid this time and the republican managers fear that they are supporting Bryan. Republican managements have been accustomed to plenty of money In campaigning and this time they find themselves running

BRYAN

MEET AT Laugh and Joke With One An other at Affair Tendered By "Lakes-to-the-Gulf Association. BOTH ASPIRANTS FORGET POLITICAL FIGHT. They Deliver Impartial Speech es Which Abound With Wit And Wisdom Shake Hands Cordially. Chicago, III., Oct. 8.-Villiam How ard Taft, Republican nominee for pres ident of the United States, and Wil Ham Jennings Bryan, Democratic aspir ant for that highest gift within the power of the American people, shook hands with each other last night in Chicago and smiled. As honored guests of the Association of Commerce at a banquet tendered the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Water Way association at the Auditorium, "Bill" Taft and "Bill" Bryan sat together in the lime light, smiling, chatting and joking while 1,300 men looked on and cheered. It was a spectacle in American his tory that has seldom been witnessed and an illustration of good fellowship for the glory of Chicago that will live long in the romantic and commercial history of the city. Forget Political Fight. The aspirants for the presidency, forgetting for the few hours their political differences, all the things they have said about each other's economic principles from coast to coast, oblivious to the ugly political skeletons dug out of their respective party closets by their campaign managers, met at the festive board as man to man. They shook hands as cordially as when two long parted brothers come together. They wrote their names In each other's souvenir programs as enthusiastically as two boys would have done at the inauguration of either one. They dodged in front and behind President R. C. Hall of the Association of Commerce, the toastmaster, who sat between them, to joke and chat, and to ask of each other: "How is your voice holding out?" "How are you standing the grind?" and "Don't you wish it wa3 over?" Have a Great Time. Mr. Taft and Mr. Bryan, to put it briefly and certainly, had the "bulllest" time of any one of the 1,300 fortunate American citizens who partook of the dinner and witnessed the meeting of the men who will lead the two great political parties of the United States on election day, one of tneni to victory, the other to defeat. Mr. Bryan was the first to speak, he being introduced by President Hall, presiding over the banquet: Cheers and laughter followed the humorous touches that characterized Mr. Bryan's opening remarks as follows: Mr. Chairman, Judge and Gentlemen I appreciate the honor of being present on this occasion. I appreciate the generous words of the chairman in presenting me to you. I think it is a good omen when we can lay aside partisan feeling on an occasion like this and, forgetting the things that separate us, remember the things that are more numerous and more more important that unite us in the bonds of common citizenship. I think I can see signs of progress in politics. When I first began to run for president there were no occasions of this kind. I think I note a larger charity, a broader liberality and a more kindly feeling than has some times prevailed in the past. Here the chairmen of the representative committees meet, willing, even in the heat of the campaign, to pause for a moment in the giving out of estimates. Here the treasurers of the respective committees suspend for a moment the investigation of the business condi tions of those who send in checks And here "two distinguished" citizens at large meet, both uncertain as to which will be confirmed. We shall carry away delightful recollections of this occasion, for whatever the elec tion may show we may remember one occasion when we were treated with equal consideration. Taft an Able Adversary. I am glad to meet at this board one who has been honored by his party with leadership in a great campaign. I am glad to testify to my appreciation of his abilities and his virtues. If I am successful the victory will be the greater to have won from such, and (Continued on Page Three.), THE WEATHER PROPHET. INDIANA Fair Thursday night and Friday; light to fresh variable winds.

SHOCKED BESIDEI1TS OF CAMBRIDGE CITY Richard Cannon and Earl Gaar Who Were With Two Women Are Arrested. BOTH MEN PLEAD GUILTY ENTIRE PARTY STOPS IN FRONT OF SALOON WHERE DRINKS ARE SERVED CLEVERLY ES CAPE FROM MARSHAL. Earl Gaar, of this city and Richard Cannon, of Danville, 111., appeared in city court Wednesday afternoon and entered pleas of guilty to the respective charges of public intoxication and violating the motor vehicle laws, Oaar is a well known young man of the city and Cannon is the nephew of Joseph Cannon, speaker of the nation al house of representatives. Gaar was fined for intoxication and Cannon for both offenses. Each fine was l and costs. The two men, in company with two women became involved in trouble with the authorities at Cambridge City, last Saturday night following an automobile trip to that place in Cannon's car. The people of Cambridge City claim the party violated all rules of respectability. The town marshal attempted to arrest one member of the party but he eluded a trip to the caliboose by a piece of strategy and before the marshal! could recover his poise and get wise to the fact he had been the butt of a shrewd move, the party was speeding out of town. A member of the town council of Cambridge City gives the following version of the affair: "The party came in there in the machine and stopped in front of a saloon. They acted like they might have been drinking on the way over, but must have got dry in a hurry. No, I don't know the names of the wouien. but I am told they are a couple of married women of Richmond. "They kept ordering drinks and pouring them down with the machine standing there on the street. A big crowd began to gather and I guess there were 100 persons watching the snow. Tne marshal, hesitated to make an arrest, and I was telephoned to. I came down town and directed that arrests be made. By this time things were getting highly Interesting about the auto. The saloon owner or dered his bartender not to sell any more drinks. One of the fellows went into a mer cantile store and came out carrying a bundle. He had a couple of stook caps, like little boys wear and gave them to the women. He carried an other package and one of the women asked what was In that He said he would not telL The woman said she wanted to know and reached for the package. The fellow told her. if she wanted to see, he would show it to her and unwrapped some woman's wearing apparel which was displayed to the crowd amid shouts of glee by the occupants of the car and a num ber of spectators. The , marshall told Cannon he would have to arrest him and the two passed out of the crowd a short dis tance. The fellow told the marshal he wanted to go back to the car and Me. that the women would be taken home and the marshall let him go. He Jumped in the car and started It

oft at fall-speed."

The Turkish government has ordered four warships to the Island ef Samoa, a Greek1 island which pays annual tribute to Turkey and this action by Turkey Is taken to indicate she will not accept the proclamation of union between the island of Crete and Greece without retaliation. The Greek minister presented the porte today with an official no-! tice that Crete had spontaneously proclaimed a union with Greece. A breach of relations between Greece and Turkey now is feared although Greece has disclaimed the responsibility for Crete's action. BULLETIN. Vienna, Oct. 8. The report Is still current here that Prince Constantino of Greece and the king of 8ervla have been assassinated, but the rumors can be neither verified nor denied. Canea. Island of Crete. Oct. 8. The Island of Crete yesterday proclaimed its union with Greece and after one of the most dramatic days in the his tory of this country since ancient times, the cities and towns lay last night surging restlessly beneath a su perficial stir of supreme satisfaction. The situation is rendered dangerous by the action of French, soldiers in refusing to recognize the proclamation of union and the pulling down ; by them of Greek flags and unfurling of the abandoned Cretan banners. All day the streets were crowded with people and the buildings were gayly bedecked. Great throngs surged hither and thither, good naturedly pulling down the Cretan banners and unfurling those of Greece. The first trouble experienced was that with the French soldiers at the fortress. It seemed for a time as if a riot and possibly a pitched battle would be fought, but the leaders of the populace succeeded in restoring quiet. Cretan History Tumultuous. The history of Crete since its conquest In 1669 by the Turks is a record ; of frequently recurring insurrections. In 1898 the powers set up there an autonomous government under the nominal suzerainty of Turkey and Prince George of Greece was appointed high commissioner. The Prince, later was superceded by M. Zalmis. formerly Prime Minister of Greece. A large proportion of the Island's population of 300,000 is Christian. The people of Crete hare time and again voiced their desire for onion with. Greece, to which country the is-! land commercially and geographically belongs, i . , . The last time was In 1903, when, through a provisional national assembly, the union of Crete with Greece was proclaimed and the powers were Implored not to support the existing autocratic regime. The powers would not acquiesce, and foreign troops were sent to the island to put down the movement. This was done successfully, and In May of that year the last Greek Hags were removed from" Crete by international troops. '.- SERVIA STILL TALKS WAR. Belgrade, Servia, Oct. 8.
