FOURTH OF JULY WAS BEGUN EARLY BY CtLEBRATERS Couldn't Resist Temptation Fop Banging Noise of all Sorts so Started it up Last Night. BAND MUSIC GALORE AT TWO OF THE LOCAL PARKS

Fireworks of all Sorts Tomorrow But Night Displays Will Prove to be the Big Feature. Fourth of July in Richmond promises to be quiet in name only. It is Sunday, but the noise that began last evening will be continued despite the orders of the police although the real celebration wil not be on until tomorrow. It is the first time in the lives of that part of "young America" that participates in most of the noise making and surgical operations that three days have been offered to shoot firecrackers. No arrests were made last night for the . premature, observances, but the police gave hundreds of warnings and required many too early celebraters to quit and go home, or be good. No Public Observance. There was no public observance of the day planned. . No patriotic exercises of any kind will be held. Every individual Is left to do as he sees fit The time of street parade, horses and other kinds of amusements seems to have been relegated to antiquity in this city. As the consequence, hundreds of residents will seek other places for their amusement. This morning's trains to Cincinnati will be well filled by local residents. The baseball game will be one of the chief attractions. Another delegation, wjllgp jtp Cambridge City where the. local baseball team meets the Grays in the second contest of the series for county championship. The locals have pot. played. for two weeks. The public. wJH. .have, occasion to hear splendid band music today. A foreign organisation gives two concerts at the athletic park and at the some time, the pity .band .plays at the Glen. The .programs, .for. both concerts will prove of interest. It is expected that thousands of persons will visit the Glen during the course of the day. The city band is making a reputation rapidly. Plenty of Noiae. Last evening there was , plenty of" noise to be heard despite the efforts of the police. Cannon crackers were exploded in all parts of the city. Dozens of toy balloons were sent into the air. More balloons of this kind have been sent up in this city this year than at any previous time. Several of the balloons have carried a redllght and they made beautiful sights soaring through the atmosphere. Dealers reported the sale of fireworks above that of the previous year. Thousands of dollars were expended for noise and to please the eye. Dealers declared it was probable that more fancy fireworks were bought this year than has been the custom. Not so much noise and a little more splendor seems to have been the idea in vogue with the purchasers. For the most part there was general compliance on the part of the dealers with the request of the police department as to the kind of explosives sold. For this reason it is believed the physicians will have fewer cases of accident than has been customary. Toy pistols and repeating canes were barred from sale. None of the dealers tried to dispose of these articles so far as the police became aware. The dynamite cap has been restricted in its sale, also. It may be expected there will be the usual explosions on the street car rails as often this explosive Is made. It is composed of a combination of potash and sulphur. ; The north end business men gave a display of fireworks and a band concert that attracted a large crowd last evening. - The display of pyrotechnics was quite extensive. The concert by the band was well received by the large crowd. It was a shifting crowd, but the merchants were well pleased by the results their trade experienced. Today and tomorrow the woods will be filled with picnic parties. .This wuy of spending the day has become a cus tom with a large number of persons, who make an annual visit to the woods to revel close to nature. IT'S DIFFERED! HERE Nqhe Winona traction line has aband oneiMbe custom of charging extra fares of persons who ride on the Interurban cars unprovided with tickets. The road says the custom has been very unpopular and that the a complaints it has caused have been more Injurious to the road than the money made. Conductors found the extra fares hard to keep count of and be came involved in a number of difficul ties in keeping accounts straight. Nothing like that down in this part of the state. They need the money.

ANNOUNCEMENT The Palladium will not be issued Monday, July 5. All employes of the paper will be accorded a holiday on that date.

CALLING IT JOLLY Southern Democrats do Not Know Anything About Proposed Census Supervisors Washington, July 3. Southern Democrats reached the conclusion today that the talk of non-partisan or bipartisan census supervisors in the south was a pleasant "jolly." In view of the widely current impression that it is the purpose of the administration to divide the census supervisors between the Republicans and Democrats in the Southern States, the Virginia delega tion in Congress, through a committee consisting of Senators Daniels and Martin and Representative Lamb, in terviewed Supt. Durand yesterday as to whether there would be a division of supervisors between the Democrats and Republicans in Virginia, and how the selections are to eb made. - Supt. Durand diplomatically sidestepped a complete answer, but finally said that in the selection of census supervisors in Democratic states the recommendations of the Republican referees would largely guide.

SENATEs GRINDING AWAY Oil TARIFF

AMID SQUABBLES "".--.-'' Senator Brown Secures Con sent to Call For Vote on Joint Resolution to Amend Constitution. LITTLE TEA PARTY WAS INAUGURATED BY ALDRICH . Independent Oil Producers Propose New Plan for Protection of Industry Shi vely Joins in Debate. , Washington, July 3. Senator Depew, of New York, reported the Porto Rican bill in the Senate this morning, substantially as it passed the House. Senator Brown, of Nebraska, was granted unanimous consent for fixing 1 o'clock next Monday as a time for voting on his joint resolution provid ing an amendment to the constitution, to enable Congress to lay and collect an income tax. Senator Aldrich then laid before the Senate the maximum and minimum provisions. Senator Daniel, of Vir ginia, contended that it was unconsti tutional in that it granted legislative powers to the executive. , Senator Daniel then offered an amendment striking out the maximum provision relating to a duty of ten cents a pound on tea. and five cents a pound on coffee. Senator Nelson of Minnesota, said he would be willing to support the maximum and minimum amendment if this feature was eliminated. Senator Root advocated striking out this feature. Senator Aldrich expressed a willingness to accept the Daniel amendment, and it was agreed to. This action prevents placing any duty on tea or coffee, even under the operation of the maximum provision of the'bill. The indeper Jent oil producers have proposed a new plan for protection to their industry by the Senate finance committee. It .is an amendment which will be offered providing for the imposition of a countervailing duty on crude petroleum eoual to one half of the duty imposed by other countries oni American oil. Under the existing law the countervailing duty is equal to the full rate imposed by other coun tries. The new amendment related only to crude petroleum, and does not affect the refined product of the byproducts. Senator Culbertson offered an amendment to the maximum and min imum provision creating a tariff com mission to be non-partisan and to consist of seven members with salaries of $7,500 each, annually. Senator Heyburn of Idaho, gave no tice of an amendment which he will offer to pay a bounty of 10 cents a pound on all the tea grown in the United States. Senator Shively, of Indiana, attack ed the maximum and minimum provision, contending that it would impose duties of 25 per cent in advance of those established as the regular rate in the tariff law. He said that in the Dingley law rates were made unnaturally high for trading purposes in order that commercial treaties might be negotiated and reductions made to the countries favoring the United States and excessive duties allowed to remain. . The same result in the way of increasing duties, he contended, would be accomplished by the adoption of the pending proposition. ARE SEARCHING FILES New Orleans, La., July 3.

CHICAGO STARTS

AT GIRL'S STORY OF HER TROUBLES Ella Gingles Makes the Old Town Sit up and Women Crowd Court Room to Hear Her Tell Episodes. MOST REMARKABLE TOLD BEFORE CHICAGO COURT Court Records Are Obliterated by Tale Young Woman Tells of Shameful Treatment at Wellington Hotel. Chicago, July 3. The long threat ened storm of sensational accusations in the Gingles case broke today when the defendant, Ella Gingles resumed the witness stand before Judge Brent and told in details the story of her al leged treatment in the Wellington ho tel by Agnes Barrett and other women and men. At the conclusion of her story. Assistant States Attorney Ben Short began a terrific eross-evamin-ation of the witness and laid the grounds for impeaching her entire tes timony. When court adjourned until Tuesday morning Mr. Short was in the midst of his cross-examination and a crowd that filled every part of the court room and consisted for the most part of women was leaning forward open mouthed and tense to catch ev ery word of the startling charges and recriminations. The most startling part of the girl's story was of the alleged attack upon her in the Wellington hotel, although her testimony was the story of her life practically from the time she came to America from Ireland. Miss Gingles in her testimony, de clared that it was she and not Miss Barrett that had been robbed and she told a story of how her room, at 474 Lasalle avenue, had been broken in to and ransacked in her absence and many valuable pieces of lace taken. She declared that the robbery was completed by Miss Barrett the same night in the Wellington hotel by taking all the money out of her purse and forcing her to walk back to her boarding house from down town In the cold of a winter's night She said that on this night she was forced to sign a confession, admitting the theft of lace for which the girl now is being tried. Her story of the attack upon her in theWellington was the most remarkable ever beard in the criminal court building, and during it there were many outbursts from the spectators. Before Mr. Short's cross-examination had proceeded ten minutes, the witness was involved In a mass of contradictions, and It was In this tangle that the adjournment came. After court adjourned, Prosecutor Short sent telegrams which were dictated by Agnes Barrett for the production of evidence next week to be used in impeaching Miss Gingle's story regarding her life in Belleville, Ontario. Miss Gingles told her awful story before a court room filled with well dressed men and women. Attorney Patrick H O'Donnell made good his declaration that the story of Miss Gingles concerning her treatment in the Wellington hotel would be told under oath from the witness chair. Step by step the lawyer led the girl. "She offered me money, and advised me to take the money, a man from Indiana offered me. whom she had brought to the room when I was helpless. She choked men, threatened me, and finally accused me of stealing, and made me sign a confession before she would permit me to leave the room." These were some of the accusations sobbed out br the lace maker. "When you went to Miss Barrett's room what happened?" asked Attorney . O'Donnell. "Miss Barrett and Mrs. Kenyon went with me, and Mrs. Kenyon whispered something into my ear. Then Mrs. Kenyon told me I had to take off my clothes. I told her I would do nothing of the sort. Then Miss Barrett and Mrs. Kenyon took off mr clothes and made me go to bed. Then Miss Barrett told me she wanted me to go to French Lick Springs, Indiana." "Did she tell you what she wanted you to go there for?asked Mr. O'Donnell Here Miss Gin gles began to cry. "Don't do that Eft Ia," said Mr. O'Donnell. The girl made revolting and unprintable charges against both Miss Barrett and Mrs. Kenyon, and the "man from Indiana." IMPOLITE QUESTI0I1 "What's the matter with Wayne county. asks the Conner vi lie News.

The latter county went far ahead of the figures made a year ago. The town of ConnersvHle renorted a Jtain about I three times as great as that made by men mono. ,- - .
