People Clamor for War in Legislative Halls Where Assembly Is Held to Discuss Matters. PROTEST OF PORTE DISPATCHED BY TURKEY.

Doubt Expressed as to Success of International ConferenceAustria' Ready for Conflict. Belgrade. Servia, Oct. 10. Even official circles now believe that war Is unavoidable. M. Paslcs, minister of War, says the situation is critical and hostilities are hardly avoidable. A big mass meeting was held today after which the demonstrators marched to the legislative hall, clamoring for war. An extra session Is assembling amid great excitement, to deal With the crisis. ' Two Austrian flags were burned by ft mob in the public square today and the sentiment of the delegates Is decidedly warlike. TURKEY'S PROTEST. Constantinople, Oct. 10. The protest of the porte concerning the annexation by Austria-Hungary of Bosnia and Herzegovina has been dispatched to the powers. It Is practically identical with the protest against the Bul garian declaration of Independence. It Bays: . "The Ottoman government, Mtffing weighed with all the attention they deserve the considerations of AustriaHungary, is in duty bound to declare that it cannot accept the views of the imperial and ' royal government. In fact, the administration of Bosnia in Its present form Is based upon article ?9 of the treaty of Berlin as well as the convention of Constantinople .f 1879, -which was Its sequel. "The diplomatic acts clearly define the nature of Austria's occupation and administration of these provinces and the maintenance of the Ottoman sov ereign rights, and no derogation to "any of these acts can' be effected without the unanimous consent of Turkey, the sovereign of these countries, and the other high contracting powers. "The Ottoman government must, therefore, of necessity reserve all rights which result in Its favor from the International treaties and' must protest against the violation of these acts by the imperial and royal govern ment" . Doubt regarding the success of the proposed international conference persists In Constantinople. It is declared here that Austria-Hungary, Is" willing to participate to the extent of dls cussion of Bulgarian Independence, put Insists that all debate on the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovlnia be excluded. AUSTRIA GUARDS FRONTIER. Vienna, Oct 10. The fears of a war with Servia are noticeably less. The morning papers, however, warn Servia not to play with fire, as AustriaHungary will not stand any nonsense. .The military preparations are so complete that should It be found nec essary, 150,000 men could be thrown across the Servian frontier in twen ty-four hours. There are 10,000 men In garrison near the Drina river, be tween Bosnia and Servia. The foreign office is not greatly dis turbed over the situation In Servia. "We are not alarmed at Servia's at titude," said a high official today. "We will neither challenge nor be in tlmidated. As to Servia's protest, this cannot be taken seriously,: as she is not a signatory of the Berlin treaty which gave her her indepen dence." GERMANY WAITS ON OTHERS. Berlin, Oct. 10. The German gov ernment is taking no steps in the di rection of ' conference, awaiting pro posals from other powers. In regard to the recognition of Bulgaria's inde pendence, Germany means first to await the settlement of the Orient railway question. Germany informed all the powers it had admonished Serla to be quiet CRETANS TAKE OATH. Canea. Island of Crete, Oct 10. Official information received here today from Candia is to the effect that the militia has taken the oath of fidelity to Greece and that the authorities have stopped the movement of villag ers to the towns of the Island. ; MYSTERY SOLVED. & . skeleton Found Belonged to Physlelan. The mystery regarding a certain skeleton that has been bothering the police has been solved. It has been learned the skeleton was the property of a local physician and left in the house he formerly occupied. There Is no . suggestion of anything illegal found in the details of the affair and the police iaveatigatton will cease.

BOTH REPUBLICANS AND DEMO CRATS REFUSE TO DIVULGE RE SULTS OTHER THAN SAY ALL IS SATISFACTORY. Indianapolis, Oct 10. The effect of the passage of the county local option law at the recent special session of the legislature has made Itself evident in the thirty day poll throughout the state according to reports received at the Btate headquarters of the two prin cipal political parties. There has been delay in taking the poll in some precincts, but the majority of the county organizations have reported to the state committees. Fred A. Sims, acting chairman of the republican state committee and James P. Goodrich, republican state chairman, are more . optimistic than ever regarding republican success since the thirty-day poll reports have been received. Stokes Jackson demo cratic state chairman, says the demo cratic poll is very satisfactory. The county local option law was passed two weeks ago today, after the sixty day poll had been taken, and be fore the thirty day poll was begun. The leaders of both parties figure that the thirty day poll, therefore, gives a more accurate line on the way the votes will be cast on election day. Republican eladers believe the pas sage of - the county local option law means a gain to the republicans of from 20.000 to 35,000 votes. The democratic estimates on the democra tic gain because of the passage of the county local option law run from 20,000 to 40,000. Neither side Is giving any figures relative to the poll, but it is known that some republicans who gained in side Information on the poll rushed out and swept the boards of most of the Marshall money that had been posted in some of the local centers. Estimated Vote is 779,384. The poll taking has been carried on with more care this year than it was two years ago. - It is estimated that a total of 779.3S4 votes will be cast at the coming election. The total vote as estimated before the election two years ago was 737,114. The total vote for secretary of state in 1906 was 5S9.244. - , To gain 40,000 votes the democrats would have to gain an average of twelve and four-fifteenths votes to the precinct, as there are now 3,250 precincts in the e state. To gain 35,000 the republicans -will have to gain ten and two-thirds votes to the precinct MILLION TO BE STAKED ON TAFT. Memphis, Tenn., Oct. -10. Claiming that he represented a syndicate with unlimited money to bet on the Presidential race, G. Howard Denby, of New York, plunged into this section, publicly offering to bet any part of $1,000,000 at odds of $500 to $200 on Taft Denby found a few small betters here. He says he will visit every city In the United States before election day to register bets. He claims to have placed over $100,-. 000 already on the result

Unfriendly Feeling Existed Be

tween Former Manager and A Few Members of Board Of Directors. MANAGEMENT PLACED IN HANDS OF Y. M. C. A. Net Receipts for Last Session Double Those of Last Year Affiliation With Chautauqua Alliance. In accordance with the prediction made by the Palladium last month just after the close of the Chautauqua, that James E. Shaw would not again be retained as manager of . the local Chautauqua, the board of directors of the Richmond Chautauqua met yester day afternoon and voted to place the management of the Chautauqua next year in the hands of the Richmond Y. M. C. A. There was an uproar of denials at that time. Mr. Shaw was turned down for, two reasons, towit: His share of the receipts -was too great and he was persona non grata with some of the directors. Mr. Shaw had always been a most efficient manager and the success of the Richmond Chautauqua was in a great measure due to his excellent work, but this virtue was offset by the two reasons above specified. The Chautauqua held last August was the most successful one ever held here. Secretary E. K. Shera reported that the net receipts amounted to $1,172.19, which is over twice the .amount of the net receipts for the Chautauqua held the previous year. In the efforts to increase the popu larity of the Richmond organization it was also decided to affiliate with the International Chautauqua Alliance which has charge of some of the largest and best known associations in the country. ; Some of ; those that are associated with it are: Old, Mothers Chautauqua of New' York, Winona, Miami Valley and many others. At the meeting yesterday all the di rectors were present with the excep tion of Mr. Shaw. For various rea sons he was unable to attend. It wpuld hfivve been impossible to hold the meeting next week as scheduled, as Mr. Shera will be at Chicago and Mr. Sedgwick and several other mem bers will be out of the city. Some reports state that Mr. Shaw did not know of the meeting but this is denied by the local officials. Of the $1,172.19 the city will get about $575 whic his almost double that amount of last year, which was $300. The to tal receipts amounted to $600. All the financial business will be finished at a meeting which is to be held in about two weeks, when Mr. Shaw will be in the city. The directors before consenting to have the Y. M. C. A. take charge required that the organization should furnish a certain number of men to do the work that Mr. Shaw had done heretofore. This was agreed to by the committee from the Y. M. C. A. and so the directors turned over the management to the Y. M. C. A. for the year of 1909. It is stated that the main reason for the change is that the directors prefer that the entire proceeds of the enterprise remain in Richmond. With Mr. Shaw as the manager this is impossible. The of ficers recognize that In severing connections with Mr. Shaw they are los ing a valuable worker. The program will be better next year than this year by being affiliated with the International Alliance of which men like Dr. George E. Vincent, of Nen York; Dr. Sol G. Dickey, of In diana; F. Gillum Gromer, of Ohio; Rev. W. J. Carr, of Iowa,, and .Henry Durst, of Kansas, all leading Chautauqua workers, compose the executive committee. Excellent programs for each assembly is guaranteed. E. K. Shera was selected as the delegate to the Tenth annual session which is to meet in Chi cago, Oct 14 and 13, at the Great Northern hotel. The purpose at this meeting will be to organize and maintain a booking de partment which shall effect economics in the dating, routing and railroad fares of talent The plan is to ask all talent to figure on the basis of a given amount of time from two or eight weeks of consecutive dates. They will make figures for the proposed engage ments based on the payment of all their own expenses, except railroad transportation. All the standard at tractions will be booked such as na tional speakers, bands, orchestras, jub ilee singers, quartets and other feat ures. In this way Richmond will be able to secure a much higher class of attractoins than they have in previous years. .Other than the changing of the man agement the Chautauqua will be con ducted on the same plans as last year. The guarantors will elect the directors and the directors the other officers. A meeting of the guarantor will not be called untITafter'he next meeting of the present board of directors. i ! At the next meeting: otHh directors It will be necessary to make arrar masts with, air. -Shwr tor paxe2u&

Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 10. Clifford

Swift, aged 19, was killed, and Charles Bell, aged 18, was badly injured in an explosion of a fifteen-gallon chocolate candy kettle at the Dilllng Candy com pany's plant this morning. Two hundred girls were thrown into a panic, but all succeeded in getting out safely. The sudden turning on of steam which was used to cook the candy caused the explosion. CHANGES IN CITY C0URTPB0GRAM Will Convene in Afternoon In stead of Morning as Heretofore. THE JUDGE GIVES REASONS NEW HOUR IS EXPECTED TO BE MORE CONVENIENT TO ATTOR NEYS AND MEMBERS OF NIGHT POLICE FORCE. Announcement was made by Judge William C. Converse, of the city court, this morning that beginning Monday, his court will be called at 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon. Ever since the establishment of the city court the hour for the opening of court had been 8 o'clock a. m. Even in the day a of the mayor's court, which preceded the city court, this hour had been adopted. The experimental stage has been placed at two weeks and if the afternoon sessions prove more convenient the hour will be adopted formally. A number of reasons are cited by the judge, which he believes make the af ternoon hour preferable. Principal among them are convenience to attor neys and members tifbe 'pulley furct; who are on night duty, and conven ience to the other court officials. It often happens that attorneys, who are retained by clients in trouble, have no opportunity to examine into the mer Its of the case before it comes to trial and consequently have to ask for a continuance. It has happened, also, that the police have not collected all the evidence desired by the state in the short time between that of the arrest and the calling of court and conse quently the prosecutor has had to ask for a continuance. The early hour of court is harder upon the night police force than any other group of attaches. The men are kept from their sleep while awaiting the calling of the cases in which they made arrests and are to be used as witnesses. It has happened often that a night man had to attend court during the entire day and secured no deep at all. This meant he had to ko back on duty in the evening fatigued and too sleepy to be in proper condition. It rarely happens that court is called ex acOy on time and this has been the source of further delay. Upon the request of the prosecutor another change will be instituted. The officer making the arrest will be ex pected to make out the affidavit against the defendant Instead of leaving this to the patrol driver, sergeant or super intendent WOMAN FILES SUIT. Resists Probate of Will of Late Prof Hodgin. Laura H. Fleming has entered suit in the Wayne circuit court against the Dickinson Trust Co. as executor of the last will and testament of Cyrus W. Hodgin, deceased, and Vera C Fleming to resist the probate of the wilt his share of the chairs used at the Chautauqua and other property . of which he is a part owner. The fact that Mr. Shaw is not retain ed for the manager next year is not much of a surprise to many of the local patrons of the Richmond Chautauqua. Although it has been denied that there is not the best feeling between Mr. Shaw and some of the directors, It is the general belief that trouble exists. It Is stated that the trouble originated in the'arranging of the program this year. , Mr. Shera said this morning, "We recognize that Mr. Shaw was always a hard worker and helped make the Chautauqua a success. He was manager for six years and last year he was en gaged to serve another year. There is no Ill-feeling that I know of between Mr. Shaw and the directors.

inough in Treasury to Meet Expenses Officers of the Young Men's Business Club Report.

INAL BUSINESS ALMOST COMPLETED lommercial Club President Congratulates Y. M. B. C. One Contest on Exhibit Business Transacted. 'The expenses of the fall festival will not be more or $oO less than the amount the chairman of the finance committee has on hand. This means that the fall festival was a complete success in every feature," stated E. H, Harris, secretary of the Young Men's Business club, this morning. "I have about $5,000 in the expense fund and the expenses of the fall festi val will not exceed this. It is probable that when all the bills are paid there will be a small amount remaining, stated Nimrod Johnson, chairman of the finance committee. Mr. Johnson said that ?3,854 of the expense fund was raised by popular subscription. About $000 was raised by the sign advertisements on the Main street trolley poles. The dance for the enlisted men and the dance for the officers of the Tenth infantry netted about $100, and the remainder of the money came in from various sources. At the meeting of the executive com mittee last night, a Cincinnati man named Kramer, who conducted an al leged merry-go-round at. Tenth and Main ' streets was given his expense money to and from Cincinnati and told to move out of town as rapidly as pos sible. This was the one frost of the festival. 4 Kramer made $8 the-three days he was here and this money was given to him so he and his men could get something to eat, which they had not done for two days. John F. McCarthy, president of the Commercial club, attended the meeting and stated the fall festival had been the greatest success of any public en terprise, ever attempted in this city Mr. McCarthy was loud in his praise of the efficient manner in which Secretary Ed. Harris had performed his arduous duties. A farmer who was directed to exhibit his egg display at the court house In stead of the poultry show, contested the decision of the judges in awarding the prize for the heaviest dozen eggs to another competitor. The contestor insisted his dozen eggs were the heav iest The dispute will be further exam ined by the committee. The committee decided to award Miss Ruby Brehm a premium for her imper sonation of a poster girl in the indus trial parade. Hearty appreciation of the generosity of the Light, Heat and Power company and the Municipal Lighting plant in respectively placing street corner arches and trolley pole lamps was expressed. This work com bined with the current furnished by the two plants cost each of them 9a. the neighborhood of $500. Herbert Green, who was awarded a $35 prize for having the largest exhibit in the Industrial parade refused to take the money, stating he was working for the interest of the city as much as any one else. Stephen Kuth, the well known fruit grower, living east of the city, refused to take his awards for the same reason advanced by Mr. Green. Samuel Dunlap, the swine judge, refused to accept $5 payment for his work. HAS ELOPED WITH . VANDERBILT WHIP MRS. HARRY BRENCHLEY. Mrs. Brenchley was formerly the wife of Alfred S.

With the first rays of the morning sun. a crowd massed In lines averaging a block long, and converging on the various ticket windows were 5.U0O Detroit and Michigan baseball rooters In tent on seeing the first act of that notable drama, the "Bengal and the Ursine." In the main It was enthusiastic crowd of Tiger supporters. Sprinkled through the throng were a lot of enthusiastic Chicago rooters. Not less than 200 Clevelanders were on hand, disappointed at their failure to pull off an event of this kind in their own city, but Intent on seeing the big show, and Just as enthusiastic aa others though they were about evenly divided In their preferences. Along about 8 o'clock there was a salve of cheers at the Main entrance and with a whoop the advance guard of the real Chicago phalanx dropped into line. This delegation had come In on a monster special train, carrying 2,000 Cub fans and showed considerable wear and tear for most of them evidently had been up all night Shortly before 10:30 the gates were opened and the crowd began to shift In the big first base pavilion which contained most desirable of the seats. This filled up rapidly and at the same time the crowd began to drift into f 1 circus seats which fringed the outfield, according a surprisingly fine view of the field. A finer day for the opening game for the series could not be Imagined. The crowd has set a new record for the park. At 11 o'clock there were easily 10,000 persons Inside the gates and the lines outside were lengthening steadily. The National baseball commission this afternoon announced the rotation of umpires which will be maintained throughout the series. But two of the four officials selected to officiate will be seen in any game. In each American league city an American League umpire will be behind bat with a National league umpire in field. Sheridan and Oday were selected for today's game.

Interest Intense. Never has interest been keyed up to such a pitch in baseball history of this city as it Is today. There Is more -betting on the result of series than has ever been done before. Most of the wagers are placed at even money. The cubs cleaned up the Tigers In very easy fashion last season. They feel confident that they will be able to repeat In the present series. However, Manager Jennings and all his band are just as sure they will not be beaten by Windy City talent. The Tigers are much fresher than the Cubs as they have had a rest since last Tuesday. The Tigers will have no excuse to make this year as they had last, when they laid the loss of the games to the fact that their catchers had to play with broken fingers. Both teams are in the finest possfble shape for battle. Neither is handicapped by absence of Continued on .Sag Eight) , '
