THE RICHMOND PAWADIUM AND SUX-TEIjEGkAM, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 31, 1909
THREATENED WAR BETWEEN MIIIERS NOT SO CRITICAL American Miners and Hunyaks Have Been at Swords , Points and Pitched Battle Was Expected.
SITUATION TODAY IS VERY MUCH IMPROVED "Eight-hour-day". Will Be Celebrated Tomorrow and Trouble May Be the Outgrowth Wires Are Up. Jabonville, Ind., March pi, Everything is quiet today in the mining field. The Hunyaks who . clashed with the Americans have evidently all decamped, or are in hiding. It is expected the mines affected will be able to resume Friday with' American miners, who have been advertised for. There is still a strong anti-foreign feeling and there is some apprehension as to the developments tonight or tomorrow, which is the annual "eight-hour-day" celebration. Sheriffs of Greene and Clay counties are on the ground with large posses and the militia at Terre Haute is in readiness to assemble on a moment's notice. Two hundred American miners left Linton for Bogle mines. The telephone wires are working and situation is well in hand, should trouble break out. Unless trouble spreads to other mines In the district confidence is felt by authorities that the situation can be controlled. , Frequent Clashes for Weeks. There have been frequent clashes between the two camps in the last few weeks, many being wounded in street fights, in which fists, guns and knives were used. The trouble assumed alarming proportions Sunday night, when a mob of Hungarians invaded the camp of the Americans and began firing into all of the boarding houses and homes. The Americans, who at that time were unarmed, were forced to leave the camp, and take refuge in Jasonvllle. Angered by this attack, the Americans armed themselves and, gathering some men, from Jasonvnie, returned to the camp Monday night, determined to drive the foreign workers" from the place. A committee of the Americans was sent to the Hungarian camp ahead of the main body to attempt to get the liens to leave without the use of force. When the members of the committee came within gunshot distance of the boarding houses in which the aliens vere quartered they were met by several volleys of shots from the guns of heir opponents. One American miner was perhaps fatally hurt in this first fire. . :: ' The committee then retreated to the main body of the Americans and all began a new attack on the barricaded foreigners. More than 300 shots were fired by the two forces and eleven men were injured during the fracas. . The Americans had taken refuge in neighboring houses, and all night there was frequent firing. OWENS TO LECTURE Milk Expert Will Speak Before Commercial Club On April 19th. WILL BE OPEN MEETING 'The Real Purpose and End of the Pure Food Laws' will be the subject of an address by Deputy State Food Inspector John Owens of Terre Haute, before the Commercial club, April 19. As the lecture will be of interest to the I'UUcns at large, especially the women, the club will hold an .open meeting. The Domestic Science Club of this city was anxious for Mr. Owens to come here to discuss some phase of the work in which it is interested. It will be remembered that Mr. Ow. ens, in bis official capacity, paid a visit to the city la6t summer and fall, confining his- attention to the dairies furnishing milk to the citizens. He found much to be criticised about them. When a local dairyman was informed that Mr, Owens would be here, he answered in the American way, What that?" and in a voice not intermingled with brotherly love. He was Informed that he would be here to address the citizens, not to inspect the dairies. The dairyman then recovered his composure. COUNTY ANSWERS STATE'S APPEAL Treasurer Albertson Sends $5,000 to Capital. In answer to a request from the state treasurer, $5,000 has bctm for warded by County Treasurer Albertson. The Wayne county mite is not expect ed to show for much in the hole. The county will contribute more than $10,000 tn addition by May 1. This la all In accord with custom and : Treasurer Albertaqn never worries a bit in writ-

CONTRACTS ARE LET Supplies for the Local Post Office for a Year Are Secured. MUNICIPAL PLANT LOSER The contracts for furnishing supplies at the local postoffice during the fiscal year, commencing July 1 have been approved by the treasury;- officials. One of the most unexpected changes is that the municipal light plant was under bid by the Light, Heat & Power company: ; The municipal plant has had almost an option on the business of the office as it has held the contract for several years. Electricity is used at the post office for operating the cancelling machine and for light. The coal contract to furnish 55 tons of Pocohantas coal was let to Mather Bros." The bids for the coal were spirited and close. Owing to the fact that there is but one ice company, the contract for supplying ice was given to the Rettig-Johnson company. There were two groceries who were successful in making contracts, one the Beehive grocery and the other the Hadley Bros, grocery. D. W. Walters was given the laundry contract. The contract prices are not made public by the government. No appropriation was made this year for beautifying the grounds around the building. It was the original Intention of the department to have a landscape gardner plant different specimens of shrubery on the plot south of the building. Another contract will be let by the treasury department for the placing of awnings at the southeast and west windows of the building. These will be opened April 2. BUILDING ACTIVITY Report for March Shows Total Amount Permits Reach $34,790. TWENTY-SEVEN PERMITS The total cost of property to be erected In the city during March was $34,790 according to the values given on the building permits. But these values are far from correct The owners merely estimate the probable cost and are not required to say how near it is to the actual amount that will be spent. , Some times buildings do not cost as much as tfe permit states but far more often the eost is in excess. There was a total of twenty-seven permits issued during the month. The four permits issued last were: Timothy Harrington, North G and Tenth streets, frame, $1,400. f Bernardino Pardieck, 122 South Fifth, frame. $1,250. William L. Boyd, South West Third street, frame, $1,200. H. M. Kendrick, Linden avenue and West Fifth street, frame, $650. Although the ancients knew the aloe of canals, they failed to hit on the simple device of the lock, which was not discovered till the fourteenth century. To this day the dispute has never been settled as to which country, Italy or Hollaed, is entitled to the credit of the invention.
SIXTY-FIVE ARE JAILED . Ill MARCH ' CSftnSSnnBmSS ' V " This Record, Police State, Is About the Average for The Month.
MAJORITY WERE DRUNKS MOST 8ERIOUS CHARGE WAS ASSAULT AND BATTERY WITH INTENT TO COMMIT MURDER AND BURGLARY. The records of the police department for the month show C5 arrests were made. This is about the monthly average. . Nearly every cause was represented, but public intoxication led, with more than half of the total. The causes and number were: Drunk, 33; assault and -battery 7; held for superintendent 8; jumping moving trains 2; trespass 1, passing fraudulent check 1; carrying concealed weapons 1; suspicion 3; burglary and grand larceny 1 ; association 2; prostitution 1; vagrancy 1 ; false pretense, 1 ; assault and battery with intent to rob 2; assault and battery with intent to murder 1; petit larceny 1; runaway boy 1; purchasing junk from minor 1; adultery 2; beating board bill 1. Most Serious Charge. The most serious charges were those of assault and battery with intent to murder, and burglary and grand larceny. Both of these were placed against Indianapolis negros who were arrested here and returned to the capital city for trial. Edward Barraud was taken up on the burglary charge and Robert Burnett on that of intended murder. This class of negroes has been giving the Indianapolis police a great deal of trouble and suspicious looking characters are taken up quickly in the smaller cities of the state. The Indianapolis authorities are communicated with before the strangers are released, if no charge is placed locally. During February, only twenty-four arrests were made. INTEREST TAKEN LODGE DRILL Several Degree Teams Entered in Contest. The competitive contest between drill teams of several of the secret and fraternal organizations of the city, to be given April 28 at the coliseum is attracting considerable interest There will be several teams in the contest in all probability, including those from the Knights of Pythias lodges, the Eagles, Modern Woodmen and probably the Druids. At the meeting of Couer de Lion lodge K. of P. last evening, the team practiced until a late hour. The prizes to be given the best teams in the city are: $50 for first; $30 for second and $20 for third. WILL INVESTIGATE OFFICER'S RECORD Police Board to Hold a Meeting Friday Night. The police board will bold a meeting Friday evening. An investigation of the past record of one of the officers will probably be made by the board. Other matters coming before the board include routine and new business. One of the matters for consideration will be the advisability of shifting the officers to new beats every three months. This prac tice has been in vogue for some time and has caused considerable dissatis faction among certain citizens. The police themselves are not in all instances in perfect harmony with quar terly shifts. , Under the new regime In the Turkish empire the restrictions on electrical apparatus, of all classes, have been removed. The government is planning to establish a telephone service similar to the telegraph service. This is a very interesting illustration Of the ad vance of the Turkish government, which heretofore has had a particular dread of electricity, owing to its con nection with the word dynamo, which obviously must have something to do with dynamite. A New York photographer recent ly learned, to his sorrow, that the gas mantle emits a ray. He had stored away a large number of plates In a dark place and inadvertently left gas mantle near the plates. They re mained in the place for a month, and when the photographer took his plates out he found them all fogged. The mantle contained thorium, a rad lo active substance that penetrates a cardboard plate box as easily as it goes ' through glass. The man didn't know thlB. but now he knows better that to leave gas mantles near his plates. : .

New Castle 8; Richmond 3. The locals played like amateurs again at New Castle last evening and were easily defeated. Nolan, first rush for the New Caetle team, was the star and the locals defeat was largely due to the efforts of the former, Richmond boy. In fact the locals were kept on the defensive throughout the contest. Houghton was not in the game, Bulla and Sharp doing the rushing. The locals were guyed re peatedly throughout the contest by Tom Ritter and his bunch of rooters. Summary: Goals Nolan 4, Quigley 2, DeWitt 2, Sharp 2, SIpe 1. Rushes Sharp 6, Nolan 8.

A mechanical marvel is the white silk balloon In which Miss Alice Yorke,. the prima donna, ascends from the stage and makes a complete circuit of theatmospheric space of the auditorium. .... North Brothers. In using "John Jasper's Wife,"' for the opening bill at the Gcnnett theater, week April 4-12, the North Bros, will be presenting a play that has never been played here and this fact, together with the prominence of the play itself leaves every reason to blieve that The North, Bros., - will be welcomed with a packed house Monday night. Mr. North's bigbclass performances of past seasons,, has left such an Impression on local theatergoers that there can be little doubt about the success of his engagement here. : Mr. North's offers are unusual, and coming now with his great record of past seasons, should be appreciated by the lovers of good comedy and music, as they are aware that there has never been any better productions given in this city, even by high price attractions. All the plays that the company will put on there are new and the only popular price company playing them. You will not only see a first class play but a vaudeville show besides. The company carries six big vaudeville acts and you will get more for your money than you ever have before. On Mon day night two ladies will be admitted for SO cents. At the Arcade. Wednesday and Thursday "And a little child shall lead them," a beautiful dramatization of the beautiful song of the same title. It needs no explanation for it is a truism well known. The other picture "Deception." is as fine a picture of love's self sacrifice as could be conceived of. Shows 0 wife's devotion and how it is appreciated by the "worse half." The New Phillips. Hamlin and Lyle are far from being poor. Oh, no, they do not claim to have a big roll on them all of the time, but they do have a heavy role on them and in its manipulation in their hands is what is far from being poor. They sing and talk and what they have not originated in that line they have brought directly from " Manhattan, hence its quality. Unita and Paul are very nice people, are cultured and . refined and have made every effort to give the vaude ville public a clean, wholesome line and they have succeeded. Their aero-1 batic feats are set off with rings and; ropes, and the little woman performs on these in a way which gets her the! commendation.

At Migeta. German East Africa,
a native, who. like all those belonging to the tribe of the Walugura. regarded snake flesh as an especial 'delicacy, found a huge boa constrictor lying in the middle of a field. He confided the discovery to one or two others, and arranged with them to kill it during the hours of darkness, so that they might enjoy the delicacy together. Toward nightfall the man, armed with a stick, attacked the huge serpent. the boa constrictor, arousca rrom its apparent torpor, suddenly seised the unhappy negro and slowly crushed him to a pulp, and then gradually swallowed him. "Rabbits are the greatest pest that the Australian paatorallst has to contend against. If these rodents are at all numerous on a station property, they do enormous damage to ' the grass. " In summer, when any water that might have been lying about has been dried up by evaporation and the grass has become dry, rabbits swarm toward the tanks, dams or other water holes that have been sunk. Every evening, after the cattle have taken their last drink, a strip of wire net ting is run around the tank or dam. Outside this netting fence holes are dug in the ground and filled with poisoned water, and these in turn are inclosed b? another strand of netting, pegged down to within a few inches
