ious That One Be Again Next Year. Held DID MUCH TO REVIVE BUSINESS IN RICHMOND Hundreds of People Who Did Not Appreciate City as a Shopping Center Were Brought Here. "We regard the fall festival as a means of reviving the activities of the Individual and community. It brought many people from more distant localities to the city and impressed them with' the beauty of Richmond and advantages offered by the general liberal and superior stocks of merchandise carried by Richmond merchants, and their purchases added materially to the sales of every dealer. The Young Men's Business club deserves credit and en couragement for its efforts and success ful management of this affair and,' we trust, of future affairs." The above statement was made this morning by George II. Knollenberg, president of the George H, Knollenberg Xry Goods company, and one of Rich mond's most prominent business men Mr, Knollenberg in hi3 statement reflects the opinion of every business man in the city. "An unqualified success" was the en thusiastic statement made by every merchant in the city seen this morning by a Palladium representative. There is an insistant demand that the fall festival be made a permanent affair, and some merchants favor holding a spring festival. The suggestion that a county fair held In this city would ben eflt the business men more than a fall festival is rejected by all merchants, who unanimously state the plan of keeping the crowds in the business sections of the city would be more beneficial than concentrating the crowds at a fair grounds. All Records Broken. Many or the business houses on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday broke all their respective sales records. Those merchants who were not directly benefitted by trade on these three days realize that the advertising they receiv ed and the city at large received will be of the utmost beneiit. The fall festival was a bid to the farmers for their patronage. The farmers were shown that Richmond is a splendid trading plao, and that they are as anxious to buy their produce from them as they are to sell their stocks to them. The following statements were made this morning to a Palladium represen tative: ; Frank I. Reed "The fall festival was the best thing ever held in this city. Those merchants not actually bene fitted by trade during the three days fceneflteed by the advertising they re ceived." Gilbert T. Dunham "The fall festival brought the farmers into the city and gave us a chance to show them what we had. It also promoted good feeling between the farmers and the business men of the city and adver Used the town." Clem Thlstlethwaite "The fall festi val was a magnificent success. Those who did not feel its benefits this week will In the future." Will Jamison "The festival surely was a grand success. Business at the Model Clothing company was good The farmers got a better Impression of Richmond than they ever had be fore." J Frank Meyers "I did a splendid business and I think the festival did the town a whole lot of good. Trade ap' peared to be excellent everywhere." Lee B. Nusbaum I went to a considerable expense in arranging for the festival, as the public knows, and is testified to by the fact that I won first prizes for window display and Indus trial parade float, but the business the store did the three days more than twice exceeded this expense. H. C.-Hasemeier "The festival was a pronounced success. Business was good and the benefits will be felt for a long time to come. Harlan Simmons-'The fall festival was the best possible scheme for ad vertislng the city. I sell throughout the county and nearly every one of my out-of-town customers visited me. want the rail festival made a perman ent affair." W. A. Johnson "The fall festival " was the grandest thing ever held In this city and should be continued. F. F. Haisley "The fall festival was a rousing success. It beats a fair and thould be made an annual event. Samuel Gaar The fall festival was more successful than I anticipated and should not be substituted by a fair. A street festival benefits the merchants more and Is less expensive than a fair. . Charles Feltman 'The festival was the best thing that ever happened to this town. We had more business than we could care for and next year I will double jnjjwbscrlptlon.' El-'oo !vMorri-"I think, you will

Is a very unique pro ceeding, for a party to attempt to se cure a divorce without appearing in court I think I will deny the decree. If the interested parties do not deem it of enough importance to grace the court with their presence I don't see why their family disturbances should be aired here." Mrs. Sothern is seeking a separation from her husband on allegations of desertion and failure to provide. WATSON SPEAKS TWICE IIIC01TY Richmond and Cambridge City Are Towns That Will Be Favored.

Samuel Fred "The fall festival was very satisfactory and I would like to see two such affairs, one in the spring and one in the fall of each year." Edward Spencer "The festival was a splendid affair and I hope we will have another one next year.

How Soldiers of Company H Came to be Richest of Tenth Infantry

Few persons who witnessed the members of the Tenth Regiment about their meals while in camn at Glen Miller Park, understood the real significance. The majority of the spectators believed Uncle Sam supplied all the provisions including tomatoes, rice pudding, baked beans, etc. The mistake is a common one, but the "extras" on the soldier's bill of fare are paid for out of the company fund. This is raised In various ways, usually by contributions of each member of the company. In some instances this contribution is $1 per month. Company H's fund has been raised In two hemispheres and three zones. While on post duty in the United States, while in service in Cuba and the Philippine Islands and while on post duty In Alaska. Money proved more plentiful in Alaska and there is where the company's fund grew the fastest. It now amounts to more than. $3,000. Besides their monthly ( contributions the soldiers have manlaged to raise money in other ways for their fund. In Alaska minstrel shows

Estimated That Between 10,000 and 12,000 Were Present to Witness Dress Drills of the Regiment.

PEOPLE IN GRAND STAND IN A PANIC. Feared That Structure Would Collapse Under Heavy BurdenSoldiers Made an Imposing Sight. A surging, tossing sea of humanity gathered at Athletic park yesterday afternoon to see the Tenth United States infantry go' through dress pa rade. It is estimate! that the number of people who were present was betwppn nine to twelve thousand. It was probably the biggest crowd ovpr assembled within an lnciosea field in this city. The maneuvers of the regiment were scheduled for 4:30 o'clock but by 2 o'clock the bleachers and grand stand were filled to over flowing, while the roof of the grand stand was lined with men and boys About 4 o'clock this roof with its bur den of humanity began to sway dan gerously and in a short space of time it was depopulated. There was also a wild exodus from the grand stana, people fearing that the roof was about to fall on them. However the stana. was rapidly filled again as soon as ev ervone had gotten off the roof. Hundreds of people in solid banks occupied the space between the en trance and the diamond lnneia, around which there were several hun dred men. women and children, who, not knowing the exact size of a regi ment thought that , it would go throiierh its drill on the base ball dia mond. Firmly believing this and happy in their ignorance the crowd kindlv refrained from invading the intieia. They thought it only fair that the sol diers should have some room to stand on. The tops of the north and east fences were black with men and boys, The policing of the grounds was mis erable ann the crowd was permitted to swarm all over the lot until the ar rival of the advance guard of the regi ment ' These soldiers immediately took charge of the situation and drove the crowd back so that there was enough space in left field for the regi ment to maneuver in. Several times the crowd tried to sweep this thin line of sentries off their feet, but the soldiers held firm and kept the sight seers at bay. When the regimental band pierced its way through the crowd their were shouts of admiration and delight which continued as the three battal Ions of the organization marched on the field. " After the regiment in beau liful order lined up and was inspect ed by Col. Green there was a fanfare of trumpets then the band struck up the most beautiful air in the world, "The Star Spangled Banner" and the regiment in column of fours paraded about Col. Greene and his staff, the stars and . stripes floating proudly above the center of the second battalion, and In perfect line aid step the outfit filed out of the park, back to its camp at Glen Miller. As soon as the regiment had made Its exit there was a wild scramble by the crowd to get out of the park. At the gate, men, women and children frantically shoved and jostled in their mad efforts to get to the street and it is Temarkable that no one was injured. Prior to the regimental drill at Athletic park there was guard mounting at the camp and it was witnessed by four or five thousand people who did (Continued on Page Seven.) and other entertainments were given. The quality of the show made no difference as to the price of admission charged, which one of the lieutenants says always was "plenty high." While in Alaska the company established a laundry and operated It out of the fund. Every soldier sent his clothes to the laundry and had them washed instead of having to do the stunt himself. The contributions for the main tenance of the laundry amounted to more In the aggregate than the expense of operation and the excess went into the fund. While on their- practice march of 200 miles through Indiana, the soldier boys have enjoyed many things they would not have secured had it not been from this company fund. Uncle Sam issues the bread, meat and other specified provisions, but the soldiers tire of the monotony and the provisions supplied by the fund fill the void. When In service these luxuries are dispensed with and the haversack of each soldier carries three days ra tions, which consist of hardtack and bacon

TENTH INFANTRY MARCHES AWAY Outfit Departs for Liberty This Morning Before Sun Rise. MANY A LASSIE IS SAD. SOLDIERS WERE AN ORDERLY BUNCH OF YOUNG FELLOWS AND MADE GOOD IMPRESSION ON CITIZENS. To the rattle of a drum and. the ocasional blare of a trumpet the Tenth infantry, who for three days have been the guests of the city, moved out of town this morning about 6 o'clock bound for Liberty. It was a sleepylooking bunch of men that paraded through the city. The officers danced until the wee hours this morning and the greater part of the enlisted men were down town last evening bidding farewell to the many friends they bad made here, and getting their last fill of good Richmond beer. ' Incideatally It may be stated that today there la many a lonesome girl In Richmond who will have to make diplomatic overtures to her disgruntled civilian lover, who sb temporarily discarded, womanlike, for a dashing soldier boy. Reveille sounded this morning at ths Glen Miller camp at 4:45. ' Immediately there was a bustle of excitement in the brown city of soldiery, but it was orderly excitement While the company cooks were preparing the morning mess soldiers worked like' beavers striking their tents, loading the eighteen baggage wagons and loading their kits. By 6 o'clock Glen Miller was without any signs that a regiment of regular had ever camped there, and the command, route step, was baking it for the Liberty pike. The soldiers made an excellent Impression on the citizens of Richmond. They were a quiet well behaved bunch of sturdy-looking young men, who gaily entered into the festival spirit but gave offense to no one. True, but few of the enlisted men were temperance advocates and several . of them took on board m heavy cargo of booze, but they were always aMe to find their way back to camp and gave no offense to people they met on the streets.
