The City Polo league season was nried onen last evening with much eclat and the two games were wit nessed by quite a good sized crowd. In the first game the Grays defeated the Smiths by a score of 2 to 0. In the second game the Carmans upset the dope bucket by making it a runaway Tictory from the Greeks, score 8 to 4. The first game was somewhat sluggish on the offensive, but .the defense offered by both teams was good, Geyer and Weist for the Smiths being particularly effective. No count was made In the first: period but shortly after the opening of the second period Nolan slipped one into the Smith cage. This trick was repeated in the third period by ClarK or tne urays.

The first annual cross country run between the yellows and whites was pulled off by the athletes at Earlham college last evening over two courses, one being the four miles and the other two miles in length. The men securing the first ten places were awarded points thus enabling the Yellows to step out ahead with a total of 146 points to the Whites 122. There were many surprising features about the run. The grand stand was filled with the pretty coeds of the college. Mote, the ex-high school lad, blew In across the tape first. In the two mile race, by a lead of fifty yards. Brown was his nearest opponent J. .Furnas walked away with the four mile run with a lead of almost an eighth, of a mile. The time for the events was: Four miles. 22:57 minutes and for the two mile was 13:20 minutes. "Is your collector honest r asked Mrs. Downtown of ber milliner, merely as a matter of curiosity.

Affairs of the Sporting World

By Gerald. Judging from the little mud eruption last evening our little history of the Wise Brothers must have hit somebody -where he wasn't feeling well. We were forced to send the suit we were wearing, when the eruption was pulled off, to a dry cleaning establishment, but hopes are entertained for its recovery. It has been generally rumored that a series of wrestling games have been pulled off In this community of late. Rumor also has It that there will be another one at the coliseum tomorrow night and about the only vacant chairs will be three or four in pew one, north side of the ring. It Is settled that the Detroit champions will train at San Antonio, Tex., next spring. The Cleveland club has secured FLEMING SECURED TO ACT AS REFEREE Promoter Charlson Secures Services of Authority at Wrestling Game. 0LS0N-DEMETRAL CONTEST BOTH MEN CONFIDENT OF VICTORY, THE INDIANAPOLIS BOY BEING ESPECIALLY SO LARGE CROWD EXPECTED. ... By Tort. Tomorrow evening at the Coliseum, William Demetral and Charles Olson will fight it out for the English light heavyweight championship belt Olson has put up $500 against this belt and he is confident that with a fair referee he will be able tp defeat the Greek. On. tJagM hand, Demetral has not the slightest fear of losing his be'L as he has a well defined opinion tikl J has it on the Indianapolis star. Promoter Charlson states that he has secured Dick Fleming," the celebrated Chygp wrestling referee, to off iciate 3 J2 ring. He is an expert and knows &tl points of the wrestling game. This guarantees that there will be no more Joe LaSalle tactics. Olson has wrestled in this city six or seven times and has only been defeated once, thal-ick being turned by Demetral last reek. Olson has won a host of friends here try iiis clever work, and they will be on hand tomorrow night to cheer him on in the most Important match he has had this year In Richmond or outside of Richmond. Glassy as the Indianapolis lad Is, he has in his opponent tomorrow night, a man every bit as clever at the mat game. Quick as a cat, powerful, and with a complete knowledge of all the holds and defenses of the game. The hue and cry that has been raised by a bunch of confirmed knockers that the wrestling matches here are crooked, has failed to make any great impression on the public The sporting department of the Palladium has every reason to believe that the local matchns Yislva hAAn rrmriiirfori folrlv nnrl squarely. The Palladium has never given any cause for Its readers to believe it would sanction dishonest methods in sports or anything else, and if the Palladium had the slightest reason for believing the local wrestling game was crooked. It would promptly expose the fact. Richmond lovers of clean sport have the opportunity of rebuking those who seize every chance of giving local sporting events a black eye, by attending the match at the coliseum tomorrow night The Indications are that the usual large crowd will be on hand. JOHNSON MAKES 7 AND 10 SPLIT Unusual Feat of Bowler. Richmond In the Business Men's bowling lea gue last evening, the D's took two games out of three from the B's. The D's took the first two games with ease but the B's rallied in the last game and succeeded in taking it with some 21 pins to spare.1 The high scores were made by Hodge 184; King 1S3; Markley 184 and Beck 179. Scores of the match are: D's 747 783 779 Total 2.3S9. B's 723 714 800 Total 2,237. There will be no game at the alleys this evening. Tomorrow evening the game in the City league will probably be between the Richmonds and Carmans. One of the greatest features that has ever been pulled off at the city bowling alleys, was that of last evening, when Sam Johnson, a member of the fast Richmond quintet, made the 7 and 10 split on two diferent occasions. This is a split that has been called impossible and this is the first time in the history of the local alleys that this play has been made. Johnson used a small ball and by hitting the 7 pin in a certain manner it refjOrjfy VT on every 25c

Charles En right from the Sacramento outlaw team. Bill Bradley's record for two seasons shows him to be the most expert banter in the American league. Catcher Criger is quoted as saying that "Cy" Young hopes to retire after the 1909 season. According to the averages of big James, the Columbia recruit ought to be a great catcher for Boston.

Jake Stahl's job with Boston is not secure, Judging from the club's efforts to land another first baseman. Johnny Evers, the Chicago second baseman, is said to be slated for the managership of the Cubs should Frank Chance balk. Murphy thinks now that Evers is the brains of his team. v BRIAN TAKES SLAP AT THE PRESIDENT Stands by Pulitzer in His Fight Against Roosevelt In Commoner. POLICY IS DANGEROUS. NEBRASKAN CLAIMS PANAMA CANAL MATTER SHOULD yE IN VESTIGATED AND THE PRESS NOT ANTAGONIZED. Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 17. Commenting on the trouble between President Roosevelt aud Joseph Pulitzer of the New York World, William J. Bryan comes out strongly on the side of the latter and warns the president that he cannot muzzle the press. Under the heading, "President Oversteps the Lim it," Bryan will say in his Commoner: "President Roosevelt has sent to con gress a message which announces rew and danaarous doctrine. It is the duty of every publisher and every be liever in free speech and a free press ta resent the president's attempt to use the government to terrorize those who would criticise the action of pub 11c officials. No official can claim exemption from criticism merely because he .is an official, and no act of gojrnment is so sacred that the hum blest citizen may not express an ad verse opinion upon it. "It is a matter of little consequiHice whether the charges made by the New York World are true or false that can be determined by a suit at law in the ordinary way but it is a matter of great importance that every editor and every other individual shall be free to express his opinion on any subject con nected with public affairs. Thinks Inquiry Best Course. "The World demands an Investiga tion of the Panama purchase, and it is for congress to determine whether the investigation shall be made. The fact that the president thinks no investiga tion is necessary is immaterial. "But his proposition that the govern ment can institute libel proceedings against an individual or paper for crit icism of the government's action Is not new, doctrIne an .F?6 objectionable one. , If any Individual has been libeled he has action at law, If the individual concerned does not see fit to prosecute his remedy the government cannot become his champion "The Panama purchase was made by the administration in pursuance of an act of congress. If any Improper in fluence was brought to bear upon the senators or members to secure the passage of the purchase act, the public has the right to know It and any sen ator or congressman wrongfully charg ed with being improperly Influenced can resort to the court to enforce his legal remedies. "Whatever offense the World has committed if it has committed an of fenseis not against the government but against the individuals who have temporarily acted for the government or against the individuals who are ac cused of bringing improper Influence to bear upon any officials. Mr. Puliazer is on solid ground when he resists the president's attempt to convert newspaper criticism of offi cials into criticism against the gov ernment Itself. The president's mes sage Is Indefensible in so far as it asserts the right of the government to prosecute the World or Mr. Pulitzer, and he will find he has overstepped the limits of his authority If he attempts to use the attorney general's office in the way that he has proposed. The president is not the government: a criticism cf him is not a criticism of the government." bounded, knocking the 10 pin down. Next Tuesday evening the employes of the superintendent's office and the members of the engineer maintainence of way of the Pennsylvania railroad will battle at the ydty alleys. The members of the two teams have been practicing for some time and it is expected that quite an interesting contest will result. Musical Fish. Many fish can produce musical sounds. The trigla can produce long drawn notes ranging over nearly an octave. Others, notably two species In particular, hare sound producing apparatus, consisting of small movable bones, which can be made to produce a sharp rattle.

"DEAD" FORGER IS '

FOUND AFTER A TWO YEAR'S SEARCH (Continued From Page One.) - not much longer carry on the heavy criminal deals that were plunging him deeper and deeper into ruin and the ruin of all those associated with him. Story of Supposed Drowning. On the morninig of Jan. 23, 1907, Agar left here with some repairs for his boat,' the Lafayette, with which he was picking up corn on the Wabash for the Princeton Elevator company. of which he was manager and treasurer. . Agar accompanied the boat six Jiiles up the river and. It is claimed, delayed its return until nightfall. The night was dark and stormy, the river a flooded torrent. A short distance above the Mount Carmel elevator, according to the story of Capt Harrington, Agar walked out on the forward barge. No one else was In sight the deck hands all' being under cover. Suddenly from the pilot house, the captain says, he saw a man he later knew to be Agar, stumble over a bag of corn and plunge from the barge In to the river with a cry of "Help!" The captain quickly called for reversal of the engines and gave the man over board a cry, but in the swift current the boat could not back up, and it was several minutes before the boats were out on the water. Floating Hat All That Was Found. A floating hat was all that was found, and fiie boat put Into port. For days the river was dynamited and dragged, with the promise of large re wards for the body as the incentive. In the meantime, the body not being found, obsequies for the supposed dead had been held at the home here, the Presbyterian minister, of which church Agar was an active member, preaching the sermon. The attendance was large, including the membership of numerous lodges, to which Agar be longed. Then came the revelations of the great shortages, growing day by day. H. D. McGary and W. M. Ford of New Harmony, were found to be on paper for nearly $7u,000, and they claimed much of this was forgery. Loss after loss came in, many of the losers being farmers who had stored grain. The elevators had been practically stripped -and the big string of them throughout Southern Indiana and Illinois closed. J. H. Miller was appointed receiver for the elevator companyand Samuel A. Stewart was nam ed as administrator for the Agar estate, settlements finally being made by those Agar had left in the lurch. Beginning of Insurance Fight. Then came the insurance suits. An attempt was made to prove Capt. Harrington an accomplice In the alleged fraud, but nothing was proved in this except that Harrington Had received a $100 check from Houston, Tex., from a Frank Williams, which he admitted he couldn't quite explain, it is claimed. Harrington is now supposed to be in Gary, Ind. Several of the insurance cases were appealed. The Uniwn Central of Cincinnati, paid its $3,000 policy and the Reserve Loan Life of Indianapolis and the Intermediate of Evansville placed theirs in trust to be paid to the widow after a certain length of time if Agar did not appear. The policies in full were: A. P. A., $5,000; Ben Hur, $2,400; Modern Woodmen, $3,000; Bankers' Life of Des Moines, la., $6,000; Court of Honor, $2,000; Reserve Loan Life of Indianapolis, $5,000; Union Central of Cincinnati, $3,000; Intermediate of Evansville, $1,000. No suspicion attaches to Mrs. Agar having any knowledge that her husband is not dead, but his return to Princeton will create some serious complications in the Insurance matter. BUT LITTLE DONE IN CIRCUIT COURT No Business During Remainder of Week. Judge Fox was not on the bench in the Wayne circuit court today. No cases were set for trial anHi none is docketed for Friday or Saturday. The expected rush of court business this week was brought to a sudden close by the change of plea by the murderer Keller and the end of his trial.y SALT LAKE CITY GETS ENCAMPMENT G. A.

Peonage System Thrives in v Workmen Are Kept in Stockade Under Guard of Sentinals

Prices for Chicago, Dec. 17. Peonage indictments will be asked by District Attorney Sims' from the federal grand jury against a corporation operating at Summit, 111. The case involves an alleged fifteen-foot stockade, practical imprisonment of laborers under a sys tem calculated to keep them in debt j to the owners of the stockade, armed guards and escapes by tunneling. The story which, if It Is substantiated will take rank with any charged against the turpentine camps of the South, became public when subpoenas were issued to compel the attendance before the grand jury of thirty witnesses, who are said to have lived within the stockade. Summit is situated about thirty miles from Chicago. There, it is said, a manufacturing company Is spending millions in the erection of a manufacturing city. The laborers, it is alleged, are furnished and maintained by a St. Louis concern.

824 MAIN STREET. Necessities By Company Em tell a remarkable story. Most of them say they were hired at fl.5 a day and found themselves at the start in debt to the extent of f'2 commission to the agency which gave them their jobs and for overalls and other goods which they viere compelled to purchase before beginning work. According to these witnesses they were charged 25 cents for a shave, 50 cents for a pair of socks worth 5 cents, and $5 for board, worth much less than that. Workmen Describe Stockade. They paid, they assert. 4 cents monthly to a hospital fund, when there was no hospital in the stockade, and were taken to public hospitals when injured. The main point of the story as told is that they are not permitted to leave the stockade while in debt to their employers, wliile getting

hying Them, . out of debt was a difficult matter, owing to the high tariffs covering everything purchased within the stockade. The high, tight plank fence, they bay. is surmounted by a barbed wire and guarded by armed sentries. A number of laborers are said to . have escaped by tunneling under it, and a few by braving the guards and scaling it. George E. Chamberlain, who has general supervision of the building of the plant near Sum mitt, put the stockade in a different light when informed of the Impending grand Jury probe. He declared that malicious reports concerning the place bad been made before and had been found untrue by inspectors from the State Boar of Health and by the state food and factory inspectors. INVITED
