PAGE THREE. SHALL CITY TAKE OVER HOSPITAL? BALLOTS SECURED County Clerk Penny Now Has 15,543 to Be Used in This County. This Is Question That Is Being Discussed by Councilmen. ELECTORS ARE NAMED.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1908.

MEETING ON MONDAY NIGHT

MEMBERS OF BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF INSTITUTION AND CITY OFFICIALS TO HOLD CONFERENCE TO DECIDE QUESTION. It is probable tho fat of the Reid Memorial hospital will bo decided Monday night when the trustees of the Institution; meet with the council members and other city officers. This meeting has been arranged by the hospital authorities and will be held at the Commercial club rooms. The question of whether the hospital shall remain as it now is, a private institution, or be transferred to the control of the city government, will be thoroughly discussed and, probably some definite action taken. There is no doubt the councilmen would favor the project of turning the Institution over to, the control of the city government, providing they could be convinced the hospital would not be a white elephant on the hands of the city. , "Would it be cheaper for the city to continue to appropriate $4,000 a year for the maintenance of the hospital than it would bo for the city to assume entire control of the institution?" asked Councilman Will Bartel this morning. Other councilmen have been aski ing themselves and their constituents the same question. The annual running expenses of the bospital amount to more than what the city has been asked to contribute for next year, $4,000, because the Institution has other sources of income. Councilmen are confronted with the question aa to whether these other sources of income would be shut off should the hospital be absorbed by the city. If they were, the councilmen reason, the maintenance of the hospital would be B heavy expense to the municipality. Councilmen have been brought to realize that If the hospital ia to continue in operation, one of two plans must be decided on and carried out. One is to continue the present policy of making an annual appropriation to assist in maintaining the istitutkm. The other plan is for the city to absorb the hospital and meet the entire expense of Its maintenance. Council does not approve of one of the plans suggested by Mayor Schillinger, that tho city pay so much for each, r city charity patient cared for annually at the hospital. If this plan was decided on, the hospital would receive, : probably, about onef ourtb of tho amount it now receives from the city, and it would be impossible to keep the institution in operation. MERCHANTS BUY CONTINGENT UPON TUFT'S ELECTION (Continued from Page One) upon the subject, ask the saloon men themselves. Those schools of instructions for voters have not stopped, although publicity has been given them through the newspapers. Mayor Rigdon, of Warsaw, controls a large number of the billboards in that town. ' He refused to permit the use of his boards to display the posters sent out by the Terre Haute brewers purporting to set forth the evu effects of prohibition and county local option. The brewers said they would bring suit against the Indiana Bill Posters and Distributers association if the bills were not posted. Mayor Rigdon has written to the secretary of the association as follows: " Yours received and was glad to hear from you with regard to the brewers' paper. Now, am so closely identified with what I consider , the only party that I will not do anything to cause any harm. I am also in favor of prohibition and was elected as mayor on the strength of my belief, and for a few dollars I do not care to enow to my constituents that I sold myself. I can not conscientiously post such paper, as many who are following in my footsteps may think I ! am reflecting my belief and think it ; rkht I do not want to do anything j thftt will reflect on the Indiana State BUI Posters association, but I think j if I am permitted to go before the board that the members will conscientiously excuse me for doing what I think is right." MRS.. BOSER GETS .HIGH iODGE OFFICE Local Woman Chosen Great Prophetess of Pocahontas. At the fifteenth annual Great Coun cil of Pocohontas now meeting in In dianapolis Mrs. Lida Roser of this city was nominated and elected Great Prophetess, Mrs. Jesse E. Cornell, Hartford City, Great Pocahontas, Mrs. Lu lu Beech. Elwood, Great Wenonan, Mrs. Nannie Dlgg, Winchester, Great Minnehaha. About six hundred and thirty mem bers were In attendance yesterday. The session was expected to close

County Clerk Penny was at Indianapolis yesterday and received from the state election commission the custody of 15,543 state and national ballots which will be used in this county at the coming election. It required five large boxes for shipment of the ballots. The county pays the express amount" ing to $8.19. The ballots weigh about 1,500 pounds. Next week will be a busy one about the clerk's office. The ballots for the different parties in the county and townships will have to bo prepared as well as those for the state. All of this work is vested in the clerk. The various electors-at-large on the separate tickets and tho electors for the Sixth district are as follows: . Democratic. , Adam Heimberger, New Albany, elector-aWarge. David W. Andre, Con-

nersvllle, elector. Republican. Winfleld T. Durbin, Anderson, elec-tor-at-large. Edwin P. Thayer, Greenfield, elector. Prohibitionist. Mercer Brown, Spiceland, elector-at-large. William S.

"Neatness is essential on the links,' said H. J. Wigham, the golfer, at a dinner in Chicago. "At Shinnecock Hills one day I played behind two youn g and pretty girls. Overtaking them, I heard the younger say: 'How many holes on this couse, Aileen ? 'Nineteendear, said Aileen, 'including the one in your stocking.' " Cape Colony, South Africa, has a deficit of $9,500,000, accumulated during the last four years, and which, says Mr. Merriman, the Premier, will likely be $12,000,000 by the end of 1908. The unpaid Government rail way debt brings the present deficit up to about $15,000,000. COHFERENCL IS HELD Murder of Wm. Thornton Discussed by Police Chief And Prosecutor. CORONER INVESTIGATES. Coroner Bramkamp has not completed his investigation of the murder of William Thornton, colored, and his reports being delayed for that reason. The coroner will make a very extensive investigation. The testimony he secures will be placed at tho disposal of the prosecuting attorney. Coroner Bramkamp, Prosecutor Jessup, Superintendent Bailey, and Sergeant McManua were in conference this morning. The details of the affair as described to them were gone over. The clothes Thornton wore at tho time he was shot by Sherman Keller, another negro, are in the possession of the police. Judging from the mark3 on Thornton's coat, a scuffle must have preceded th firing of the two fatal shots. The left sleeves of the coat shows a torn and burnt place on the under side. This would indicate Thornton had his right arm raised across his face, when the first shot was fired. This is believed to have been the bullet that went wild, grazing Thornton's chin. The other two bullets penetrated the abdomen. ARROW CUMCOtHMM QtMOTTft tttt COLLARS They neither shrink, scratch, saw nor stretch 1 CenttI tor Cents CtMtt, Feabody Co.. Troy. ST. T. 0

President Himself May Attempt to Produce "Great American Play"

Washington, D. C, Oct. 23. Presi dent Roosevelt may yet appear as a playwright before the American peo ple. He admitted his great interest in the stage when Frederic Thompson and Mabel Talliaferro, his wife, called. Mr. Roosevelt gave them a hearty greeting and expressed his satisfaction with Mr. Thompson's play, which he witnessed Monday night. He sug THREE GIRLS KILLED Gasoline Held in Hands , Boarding House Keeper Explodes. of TWO OTHERS ARE INJURED. Lincolnville. Okla., Oct. 23.

"DO NOT DIE" SAID WOMAN WHO SHOT MAN Wealthy Italian Fatally jured.in Chicago. InChicago, Oct. 23. A crowd of more than 100 people Thursday afternoon saw Rose Albert! shoot and probably fatally wound Zito Frappanipino, a. rich Italian, and then fall screaming upon the man's unconscious form, kissing his lips and forehead and begging him "not to die." The shooting occurred in the street near the side door of the saloon belonging to the woman's husband, Joseph Albert!, at the northeast corner of Clin ton and Polks streets. At the hospital it is said that the wounded man has little chance to live. The trouble grew out of financial matters, it is stated. Frappanipino has a bakery in the basement of the building in which is the Albert! saloon, and part of Frappanipino's retail trade was carried on in Alberti's place. There have been bickerings over this arrangement which brought on the bloodshed. The American Society of Naturalists will celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of Charles Darwin, in cooperation with the American Association for the Advancement of Science on the occasion of their meetings in Baltimore. Louisiana has seven million acres of swamp land, which are at present totally useless. The Irrigated districts of Egypt comprise 5,340,000 acres and support 10,000,000 persons.

The President grinned broadly, and as he dismissed Mr. Thompson to grasp the hand of the next visitor in the line, he said: "Well, perhaps that may be so." HOPE NOT GIVEN UP Y. M. C. A. Officials Desire to Open New Building Some Time Next Month. HEAVY DEMAND FOR ROOMS Hope for the opening of the new Y. M. C. A. building at the time set, early next month has not been abandoned by Secretary Goodwin and the other officials.

The board fence that has been about the site of the building ever since the first work began, is being torn down. Permission has been given the association to lay cement sidewalks and this work will be undertaken in the near future. The floors are being scraped and the dormitory roms being placed In condition for occupancy. There has been a strong demand for rooms by men as an ideal home with all modern conveniences are provided. JONES WISHES TO RECOVER PROPERTY Whitewater Doctor Takes Appeal to Circuit Court..

FIRE LOSSES ARE REPORTED EROM ALL OVER COUNTY (Continued From Page One) past few days there have been threatening blazes on the farms of John Manning, William Foutz, Dick Smith, Joe Lantz, George Barnard, George Mlkesell and Frank Converse. These fires destroyed considerable amount of clover, corn and timber. The total loss will probably exceed $4,000. The railroad company has already settled with Mr. Barnard for $550. Economy also reports that there have been dangerous fires southeast of Williamsburg, north and south of Carlos City and north and south of Losantsville. Recently there havo been two bad fires near Fountain City, one south west of town and one north, of town. The loss was considerable but no estimate is given. Several bad fires have started along the Pennsylvania railroad in tho vicinity of Hagerstown, corn, timber and clover going up in smoke. It is impossible to estimate the loss la this locality. Centerville reports that there have been no fires in that vicinity since a field fire two weeks ago threatened to iestroy the Dunbar Bros. lumber yard. The extreme watchfulness employed by tho farmers along tho railroad in the vicinity of Milton has prevented any serious fires, although several threatening blazes havo started. In this locality the fire danger has been increased by the frost, which has loosened the corn blades, causing them to fall. The fields, are now completely covered with them and they are as dry as tinder. TUESDAY EVENING COTILLION . CLUB. The Tuesday Evening Cotillion Club will have their first meeting next Tuesday eve., I. O. O. F. hall. The club will have the same membership as last season.
