AOQUT 400 WERE PBESEIIT AT THE DIG UM FEAST After the Elimination of the Savory Viands, Oratory and Cigar Smoke Filled the Large Hall. MERRYMAKERS EVEN . ATTEMPTED POETRY President John F. McCarthy " Made an Excellent Toastv master and Told of the First Banquet Held. Greater unanimity of spirit never found more general expression at any gathering In this city; than that which narked the fifteenth annual banquet of the Richmond Commercial club last evening at the Masonic temple. About 400 of the city's business men. merchants, retailers and wholesalers, rnamifacturers and public utility rep. rrssntattves, joined in making the aff tr the lnost successful of the fifteen. Every business ! line of the city. M as represented. 'AndJ'W the great body of men the sinaio purpose, .''lchmondites for Richmond" ; It was-a few minutes after 7 o'clock vhen the Richmond 400 formed in ' line" for tthe advance to ' the banquet kail. The tables were laid in the large hall on the fourth floor i Thev were decorated with cut and potted flowers. : At' eaeh plate, was a carnation. As the hord,e advanced to the tables the Richmond orchestra rendered a lively ; air. :-": ' Some Disappointment. The occasion proved to be superior in several ways to anything of a simllar nature that has been held locally. Disappointment was been when it became known that Horace Starr, of Indianapolis, Senator W, A. Klttinger, - or Anderson and Hush Th. Miller, o Columbus, had been unable to attend. ' Mr. Starr was compelled to be In another part of the- state and sent his regrets. He was notified of fthe interruption of his plans only yesterday. " Senator i Klttinger : w as7: detained " at home by illness and Gov. Miller was prevented through Illness in the family. Each of these men is an excellent after , dinner ; speaker and their inability to be present' was a matter of general regreU There was a "feast of "reason" after tthe viands' prepared by the Eastern Star had been c disposed .,- of. There were relishes of wit and humor that kept all in a jovial mooK ; And there was the fragrance' of the Havana to subdue any spirit of insurrection that nay have arisen when the hour showed 'the last street cars had gone to the barns. Burns Dinner Toast. Some hae meat what canna eat Some, hae meat that want It put we hae meat and we can eat it, And so the lord be thankll." The verse from Burns appeared on an arch in the rear of the speakers' - table sod seemed to express the sentitnent of the banqueters. Poetry was " In order several times during the evening and those who sing in rhythm were called upon for frequent quotations. There were some, who attempted a little of their, own origin and , it proved equally entertaining to the hearers It may be even moreso. The program was long but not uninteresting. Topics of local, state and national i interest were dwelt upon. One speaker crossed ' the ocean and found subject for. comparison to the United States. The recent local oition election was a butt for the Jokers. Those who knew the returns and what they Indicated only from what they had read in the newspapers took delight In making fun at the expense of the county. But the taunts .were without sting. One ? serious winded speaker found the option elecHon a cause for a dissertation on home role. The municipal election of Monday . was another topic . that was , treated repeatedly. Local " speakers laced the most significance in this, ut after approaching to the ragged edge managed to steer clear of any real political obstruction. The First Banquet . President John McCarthy, as toasttauter, called attention to the fact it ' was fifteen years ago the club held Ita first banquet He said in looking ie records ol the organisation

held February 15, 1894. Mr. Fortune addressed the meeting, which -was held at the court house and fiftythree names were subscribed as members. Of that number, there are now seventeen who' retain membership. The first board of directors consisted of John M. Westcott. I . M. Emmons, D. G. Reid. L. M. Jones. Richard Sedgwick, John Tingle, Benjamin Starr, John Nicholson. C. C. Binkley, J. E. Cathell, Isaac Kline. J. M. Hutton and Edward Illff. One of the most pleasing features of the evening was the work of the newly organized Richmond orchestra. In recognition of the appreciation of the club for the muaic and to show that the new orchestra is one deserving of public approval and organized support. Mr. Howard Dill presented a resolution in writing. It compliments the orchestra on its excellence, : The resolution was approved by alt, as expressive of the general Bentiment The resolution follows : Work is Commended. "Resolved, That the Richmond Commercial club does most heartily commend the work that has been done by the Richmond Orchestra club for the advancement of music in our city.' The club also desires hereby to thank the members of the orchestra and especially its accomplished- director Prof. Wm. Earhart for the fine musical program rendered this evening." Mr. Dill moved the resolution's adoption. "The Merchant," was the subject of the first toast of the evening, responded to by Lee B. Nusbaum, one of the leading dry goods merchants 1 of the city. After poking fun at both, himself and friends, he took a more serious vein to show the importance and necessity of the merchant "Our president is a merchant, like-wise: a large

number of the members of the club. club is represented by; a merchant" declared Mr. Nusbaum. .The co-operation of business men was -next commented upon. He declared there was too lit tle of it. The speaker then eulogislL. t A. . - eu me mercnani caning mm a puDiic servant a necessity and a martyr. He concluded with reading sixteen' verses of poetry which was very appropriate. This was one of the hits of the evening. Jesswp's Address. Co-operation Is the relation the Young Men's Business club desires to have with the Commercial club, according to the toast, "The Younger Business Man," responded to by Wilfred Jessup. - Eighteen . months ago said Mr. Jessup. the Y. M. B. C. was organized." , He referred to the suc cesses which had come to the club, also the failures. "The members of the club? are willing and anxious to lend whatever assistance they can for the uplift of the city. We have the energy, spirit, ambition, and deter mination, which are yours at com mand," concluded the speaker. Talks on Good Roads. Hon. Clarence A. Kenyon of Indianapolis,' an authority on good roads, responded to a toast on this subject, in which he declared that good roads were a matter of civilization and importance to all. In speaking of roads he referred to those in the country districts, and not city streets. Comparison was made iWith the roads in this country and those of the conntries of Europe, which are especially noted for their excellent roods. Having made : several trips ' to England, France, Germany and other Europeancountries, as a delegate to Internat ional conventions, hU statement that people in this country apparently did not care about good roads as they did In the old countries.' bore; weight. The automobile -is the destructive agent of the roads declared the speaker, and in , order to keep roads in repair,; be said, : countries of v Europe were spending five times as much now as before. Probably of greatest Interest to local citizens was the statement that the roads laws of today are antiquated, and unjust. - The road law are particularly unfair to the farmer ' as he is asked e to keep ' in repair the roads in front of his place which are destroyed by somebody else. Mr. Kenyon concluded by- reading a communication, drafted at the last meeting of the county commissioners association of , Indiana, asking Governor Marshall to Include in his message to the legislature, some reference to the need of changing the road laws. He declared that , the work was of, such importance that it most go on. and suggested the local club co-operate In the movement Kuth .Was Surprised. rout of the aty." -was the subject of an impromptu toast answered by 8tephen Kuth. of east of the city. While taken, completely by surprise, Mr. Kuth delivered a very witty response. He conceded to Indiana the honor of grcWtntT the biggest ; corn, but to Ohio the art of ralslnjr the biggest presldent He referred to the toast on "Good ds." by Mr. Kenyon, and stated at it was only too

true that the bad coadtttoa.

were in a very

years the farmers would not complain about the city people using the automobiles as the country people intended to use airships. Following Mr. Kuth an imptomplu speech was asked for from the Hon.

Isaac Jenkinson, who but recently observed his eighty-fourth birthday. He begged to be excused, however. George E. Seidel. a prominent car ri&re manufacturer of this city, re sponded i to ; a toast "The Richmond Manufacturer." He spoke of the founding of the citv in 1807 and the establishment of a distillery in 1816 Richmond's first industry. In speak' ing of the Richmond today, he said there was $73,000,000 invested in business in the city. The business done annually Is estimated at 127.000,' 000 and the annual pay roll is $384,000. The factories " came because Richmond offered what other - cities did not The giving of bonuses in order to locate factories was - called an evil. Richmond has never wanted a "bonus' factory, but the substantial kind, declared the speaker, and of this kind we can not have too many. ."These we have, have grown to be the largest in the world, and distribute their products all over the world," said the speaker. Reference was made to the ideal local labor conditions. He said Richmond never : experienced a strike of any consequences. This condition was largely due, he said, to the fact that the majority of worklngmen own their homes. ' He paid the Richmond laboring men a tribute, stating they were the most Intellectual and indus trious of any city in the world. The geographical location of the city was also discussed favorably. The speaker concluded with a toast to the Richmond business men. . "Man From Anderson." In introducing Wallace B. Campbell of Anderson, Secretary of the Indiana Federated Commercial clubs, Mr. Mc Carthy, referred to the fact that state federation was a hobby of the local club. Mr. Campbell, in response to the toast "The Federated Commercial Clubs," paid the local, club tribute for the success of the venture.:; ."The In dlana Federated Commercial. Clubs owe distinguished v toastmasteri and "the equally distinguished man, your secretary, than to any other two men, for the bringing together of the clubs of (Continued on Page Two.) TRIED GIVE BOOZE; CHASED INTO CELL Effort to Pass Whiskey to Prisoner Disastrous to Young Man. WAS LOCKED IN ALL NIGHT MOANS AND 80BS OF THE WOULD BE DONOR MADE THE NIGHT V HIDEOUS HUNTINGTON CASE IS DISCUSSED. ' An attempt to hand a prisoner at the county jail a bottle of whiskey by a young man named Cook, was fraught with disastrous consequences to Cook. His friend is Earl Huntington and last evening he called at the jail and asked to see Huntington. Permission was granted by' the turnkey. While Cook was talking to Earl through the bars. Turnkey Harris, from a place nearby, was keeping a close watch. When he saw Cook endeavor to hand over the bottle., he made a start for him. Cook ran to the upstairs section of the jail room and Harris chased him into a cell. Ho locked him in then and kept him there during the night . Cook sobbed throughout the night and his moans made it an uncomfortable night for all the prisoners. As Huntington did not secure the whiskey, there is no offense in Cook's action. Trouble Expected. With Huntington and John Dotrfia in jail . at the same time, the sheriff and turnkey expect their troubles. The two occupy the unique distinction of having spent more time In jail than any residents of the county.. Huntington has served the longest jail sentence ever Imposed in city court. Both men are on the saloon keepers blacklist but this does not in the least prevent them from securing liquor when they desire it They always can find someone who will buy it for them. Huntington's case was discussed in circuit court today. Judge Fox says all patience has been exhausted with the man. He has been shown clemen cy, and been punished severely. He has been sent out of the connty and allowed to stay here in Jail and out He has taken the Keely euro, "sworn off" and made promises to reform, hot everything has been in vam. The craving for whiskey possessed by both him and Don! la is nearer to a dlesass than

Chairman Payne Was Ordered

To Take This Action at the Direction of the Ways and Means Committee. . SENATOR D0LLIVER CAUSES SENSATION Taunted by Aldrich, a Bad Blunder, the Iowa Statesman Rises Up and Delivers A Brilliant Speech. Washington. May 5. The ways and means committee today concluded the consideration of the Aldrich tariff bill and directed Chairman Payne to submit it to the house. . Nothing has - deranged the serene subconsciousness of the United States senate in a long time so completely as the speech which sinator Dolliver of Iowa delivered yesterday. In it he voiced the western demands for lower rates, took the hide off of Senator Aldrich, the New .England apostle of . "high protection, and incidentally exposed not one but half a dozen jokers which it had been intended to reenact into the new law. The Iowa senator had been provoked by taunts made by Senator Aldrich that Mr. Dolliver had departed from the conservative course pursued by the late Senator Allison. The result was one of the most extraordinary speeches heard in the senate for many a long day. It was full of biting sarcasam, which, of course, is a cheap commodity, but it was fortified by facts and figures which unquestionably will have a great, effect in the determination of the tariff bill as it is to be finally passed. : Greatest Speech of Debate. OFjlUyer's , effort Js . .recog nised generally as much the strongest Speech, delivered during- the present debate and it seems to have more influence because it . comes from an avowed protectionist who sat ; with Gov. Dingley in the ways and means committee when the , present ; tariff law was . framed, and whose acquaintance with the technicalities of the subject . is not surpassed by that of any other man, not excepting even the great Senator Aldrich himself. It was a blunder on the Dart of Mr. Aldrich to attack Dolliver,' because the Iowa senator in past years had voted for the same schedules which are now under consideration., The only result of such bad tactics was to provoke Mr. Dolliver, and be retorted in a crushing way, having had access to letters and correspondence of Gov. Dingley, which showed conclusively that the Main statesman was not in sympathy with the effort made by Mr. Aldrich In 1897 to increase the rates on cotton and wool manufactures. Mr. - Dolliver reviewed in scathing terms the history of the principal schedules in the present law, showing they were framed in the first place by the manufacturers themselves, and that they had been expanded In their atrocity ever since. Not only did Mr. Dolliver expose the little joker which had been worked on the sheep growers themselves at the instance of a New England manufacturer but he went on -to detail some of the incon sistencies and incongruities and injustices of the present tariff law in a way which created a positive sensation in the ' senate.' - . To Reveal Cotton Joker. Mr. Dolliver Is ,"not through. He proposes to go ahead and dissect the cotton schedule, giving the result of his discovery of an effort made in the present congress, : first in - the ways and means committee and then in the nnance commiw.ee, to introduce an other joker which practically would have prohibited the Importation of all cotton cloths where they are not al ready under the ban. In making his attack on the woolen and cotton schedules reported by Mr. Aiaiten, Senator Dolliver was particular to put himself on record as a consistent protectionist : who, however, represents the Idem which Is general Uk the Mississippi valley, ; that the rates on. clothing and inlr snanufsctmred articles ought to be reduced In the interest of the consumer.

V.N. Q RETURNS SHOW A TOUIISHIP LOSS Decrease in Number of School Children in Wayne CITY BENEFITS BY LOSS PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORING RURAL DISTRICTS TOOK CHILDREN FROM COUNTY SCHOOLS THE LAST YEAR. . The returns from the enumerators of school children in Wayne township, show a loss of seventy-five over last year. ; The city of Richmond made a large gain, but evidence is to the effect it was at the expense of the township. ; Persons residing in the rural districts near, the city, withdrew their children from the country schools and moved to the city, where other advantages were to be obtained. Delton township returns have been made to the county superintendent and a loss of three is reported When the totals are footed up. It is probable the county outside of Richmond, will show a very' small gain or a distinct loss. THE WEATHER PROPHET. INDIANA Tomorrow, fair. COUNCI LM EN-AT-LARGE.
