i AERIAL ADS WILL BE VERY UNIQUE FEATURE

Ut Meeting of Executive Committee Last Evening Locations of Most of Displays Decided Upon. Aviator Bumbaugh will make bis daily ascensions, during the Full Festival, October 6-7-8, from some point in the south part of Richmond, according to the decision reached at the meeting of the executive committee of the Fail Festival association last evening. Mr Bumbaugh was expected over from Indianapolis this afternoon and he, with members of the committee, were to visIt different points of advantage in the south part of the city, from where he might make his daily flights. The south side gets the big attraction of the festival because it is due them Last year the merchants of that part of the city contributed freely to the as eociation and did not receive a cent of benefit from the festival, because there were no attractions in that part of the city. Not a word of complaint was registered this year by the South End merchants. when they contributed liberally, and they did not ask for any attractions either. The executive committee was much pleased with the spirit of these merchants ami decided to reward them in the best possible way. vThe street car company wanted the attraction at Glen Miller parkw - Other Aerial Features. - Other aerial features of the festival were considered.. Advertising banners, as well as a large Fall Festival announcement, will be sent a thousand or more feet in the air, from which point they may be seen for a distance of ten to fifteen miles, it is believed. The banners will be very large. At night the search light will be turned on them at intervals and the banners may be read then as well as in the day time. It is probable that Mr. Bumbaugh will bring a gas balloon with him on which he will put a large banner. Box kites will be used from which to suspend the banners. The location of the different displays have been partially decided on. The flower show will be held at the Pythian temple; the cattle display at Eleventh and Main streets; dogs and poultry, at 824 Main street; corn, vegetables, fruits, grains and the like at the South A street market house and hogs at South Fifth and A streets. It may be necessary to change the location of some of these displays later. 8cure Good Judges. V The question of securing judges for the different displays was considered. Talent, equal to that employed by the state fair association, will be secured. Prof. O. I. Christie of Purdue University, who Is head of the corn department and last year conducted the Sixth District corn school at Centerville, will be present, in all probability. He will Judge the corn and possibly some off the other displays. W. W. Coles, of Kokomo has been engaged to act as judge of the amateur and professional exhibits at the flower show. Other Judges will be announced as soon as the pending arrangements with them are completed. v The cattle and hog displays will rival those of the state fair in excellence while possibly not so large in numbers. Many a fine dairy herd, or the best specimens of the herds, will be sent by farmers living within a radius of 36 to 40 miles of the city. Last year Shorthorn cattle and one or two Jerseys - were the only classes exhibited, but this year nearly every variety known will be shown. The display of porkers .at South Fifth and A street will be very large and possibly additional space will have to be secured for their display, according to present indications. ;,- Hard to Secure Quarter. Thomas Butler, chairman of the committee in charge of the horses is experiencing the same difficulty as last year in the securing of suitable quarters for the horse. The large livery barn on Main street and the east end market lot will be used for horse stables, but even this large space promises to be Insufficient. The horse will ' be displayed on the street, the mnojrlty.on North Tenth street, between Main and A streets, as last year. A number of novelties, such as canes, toy balloons, feather dusters, masques, come-back balls, ticklers and the like, which will be of particular value on Mardl Gras night, will be sold by the association. A to Decorations. The matter of decorations was considered last evening and the plana for the decoration of the coliseum for the press banquet, and the decoration of the streets, was reviewed. The street decorations will be practically the same as last year. However, the coliseum will look like a millionaire's wife Continued on Page Eight

MILWAUKEE GIVES CHIEF EXECUTIVE A BIG RECEPTION Arrives in the Cream C'rty at 5 O'clock This Morning -and at 7:30 Committee Takes Him In Tow. IS SHOWN SIGHTS OF THE BEAUTIFUL, CITY Last Evening the President Made an Address at Chicago and Was Greeted by a Monster Audience. (American News Service) Milwaukee, Sept. 17. President Taft arrived here at five thismoTnng and at seven thirty o'clock a committee headed by Mayor Rose, took him in tow for a sightseeing tour of the city. He spoke to an immense gathering on the postal savings banks, which he warmly advocated. He leaves here this afternoon for 'Winona, Minn., where he will deliver the second address of the day. ADDRESS AT CHICAGO. Chicago, Sept. 17. President Taffs keynote speech on the tariff, currency and corporations will be delfivered somewhere out in the throbbing west. His keynote speech for Chicago dealt almost exclusively with labor and the courts. His only reference to the tariff In the Orchestra hall speech last night was th? statement that it was out of the way, and there was no reason now why capital and labor and all hands should not get together and' make the prosperity of the country the greatest in its history. By inference , President Taft said-' that the tariff was a closed incidentfor the time being, although he promised to say something about it elsewhere on the 13,000 mile tour. Of currency he said nothing. Roosevelt Policies in Mind. Of corporations he only said that some of Mr. Roosevelt's policies should be kept In mind and that the new conditions in this country required new regulatory measures in dealing with great combinations of capital. On one point the president was specific and forceful and irrevocably committed to a reform at the next sesion of congress. That was the in(Continued on Page Seven.)

To the Citizens of Richmond The enlarged plans of the Festival this year and the air-ship as the special attraction has increased the expenditures to such an extent that the subscriptions must average double what they were last year. The Committee has prepared the following estimate of expenditures in order that the public may realize the magnitude of the 1909 Festival: Prizes and Premiums .$2,500.00 Exhibit Expenses 1,500.00 Air-Ship ...... ........... 1,200.00 - Advertising ..W..... ....... ....... 1.000.00 Music .... ........ 1,000.00 Decorations 800.00 Miscellaneous 200.00

$8,200.00 The subscriptions last year amounted to $4,000.00 and the Young Men's Business Club made up the deficit which amounted to $488.00. The increase in expenditures this year Is due to the fact that entertainment and amusement must be provided for one ' extra day and It was necessary to have one central attraction to take the place of the soldiers last year, r The Executive Committee Is using every effort to bold down the expenses to the point necessary to give the events promised and provide proper entertainment for the visitors. Very respectfully, September IT, 1909. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

i BOARD ORDERS 1 MDDnumniT rr IVir nUf LIYILH I ltJi Citv Officials This Morni Again Act on Eighth Street Case. 1 4. "BIG DOINGS" EXPECTED WAR BETWEEN PROPERTY OWNERS OVER PROPOSITION OF BRICK OR ASPHALT PAVING IS QUITE PROBABLE. The board ofi works at its regular meeting this inorning confirmed the resolution f ok? the improvement of Eighth streetlrrom North A to South A streets, Tfpday was the day of the hearing set 1y the board for the resident propetftjr owners along that section of the jttreet, but only three were present at jbe meeting, John J. Harrington, EtJ. Vaughan and Richard Van Zantf, It is not thought there will be any attempt to remonstrate against th& improvement by the property owners, although t remonstrance blank wai secured from the board the other day - by one of the residents. They arenow given ten days in which ta.femonstrate and at the expiration pi' that time if no action is taken bids I will be advertised for and the kind of; improvement that" is to be made will 'be desiguated by the board. Expect "Big Doings." It is at '.this point in the proceedings that there is expected to be "big doings." The property owners are given ten days in which to remonstrate against the kind ipf improvement and in view of the facjgthat it is practically certain that 'the board will order a brick street and the majority of the property owners favored asphalt at the adoption of the former resolution, which was thrown out, the proposition is apt to again assume rather interesting proportions. The whole matter has apparently resolved itself into a war between the residents of North and South Eighth street. Those north of Main are said to favor the brick street while those south of Main are urging that an asphalt pavement be made. WILL ENFORCE LAW It Is said that the proprietors of local cigar stores and pool rooms are again becoming lenient in regard to allowing minors to loiter behind the forbidden doors. The police assert that the law Is still effective and such practice will not be tolerated. Unless the habit is broken up, a strenuous campaign such as was waged several years ago in this particular will be started again, it is declared.

Lantz told the Cook county clerk the way to win a wife was to get 4 cense and that the girl would theL rush to the altar. He represents himself as a traveling salesman for sf coffin factory. Made Her Peevish. A Chicago dispatch says that Lantz appeared at the county clerk's office Tuesday and secured a license to marry Miss Williams. She noticed her name as a prospective bride in the city statistics column of a daily paper the next morning, and hardly before she had finished reading it. i Lantz came up to her telephone booth in the Hotel Mayer and showed her the license, telling her to come on and have the knot tied. Miss Williams was very much angered and called the hotel authorities who had Lantz ejected. Miss Williams went to the county clerk and told him the next time any one came and wanted to take out a license to marry her that he should not grant it. She promised that she would get her own license and not depend on fickle man. Lantz unabashed appeared at the clerk's office Wednesday afternoon and asked to get another license. This time it was to marry a rich heiress. Miss Miriam Evans, who was stopping at the same hotel as he. He was questioned by the clerk, but the latter finally gave him a license. He told the clerk he did not know the heiress, hut that all a man had to do to win a oman. was to get a license. So far as known, he has not presented himself to Miss Evans as yet with his proposal of marriage. r v : Assaulted His Mother.

Judgment of $300 half the amount asked for, was granted Mrs. Ida Wads worth by Judge Fox this morning, when he made his ruling in the case of the state ex rel Ida G. Wadsworth against John Wadsworth. Mrs. Wadsworth sued her husband for $600, alleging that he married her in order to prevent bastardy proceed ings. The ultimate result of the case has not as yet occurred. Suit for di vorce will be filed in all probability by Mrs. Wadsworth and will probably be granted. She will recieve the custody of their only child. An appeal from Judge Fox's decision will probably be taken by Shiveley and Shiveley, attorneys for the defendant Judge Fox allowed the attorneys 90 days in which to take such action. Henry U. Johnson, who represented Mrs. Wadsworth in the case, asked that the judgment be paid at once or Wadsworth committed to jaiL In stead the matter was settled with the judgment being replevined. In cit ing his contention that the judgment should be paid or else Wadsworth sent to jail.

He gave his residence as Richmond, Ind. With him was Jesse Taggart, who Klrkman told the authorities was also from Richmond, but this morning he abridged his confession saying that he was from Dayton 'and Taggart was from Indianapolis. 'Late last evening. Conductor Owen, of West Alexandria, had an exciting encounte on a Dayton and Western car, with Harry Morris, of Dayton and G. K. Morgan of Coshocton, Ohio, who boarded the car at this place and attempted to pick the pockets of some of the passengers. Owen succeeded in locking them in the smoker and turned them over to the Dayton police. Klrkman and Taggart started on a purse-plucking tour in the afternoon. and visited five residences. As they entered the home of Lee Mann, a prom inent farmer, they were met by Mann who carried a shotgun. Mann commanded them to stop, but Taggart got away.

Taft Was Center of Interest

To 30,000 fans Who Urged Him to Cheer for Victory Over the Giants. HE REFUSES PEANUTS BUT TAKES LEMONADE' Executive Jokes About Chicago Exaggeration on the Size Of Crowd He: Develops Into a Rooter. Chicago, Sept 17. President TaXV with .000 fellow 'Tans,: watched tha Cubs go down to defeat at the hands of the Giants to the tune of 2 to 1 yesterday. It was Taft day at the West Side bail park, and the big president who helped "pull' In vain for a Chicago victory, was the center of it alL He got peanut shells In his hair and -became almost stoop-shouldered from sitting in the jammed grand stand, but he was happy happy as the hamlest youngster who was perched In the Dieacners away out there In the field, and who will tell his children's children or the day when he attended a ball game with the president But It wasn't a glorious victory. It Is bad enough to lose at any time In a heart-breaking pennant race, but to lose when the president is looking on is the bitterest woe of all. But victory or defeat, the president had the jolliest kind of an afternoon. He had the choicest seat In the big. overflowing stands not In & royal box but three rows back of the boxes, right at first base, where he could see everything, and pretty nearly everybody could see him. President' Seen First . There was little doubt that the crowd was the first of all to see the president He arrived a few minutes after 330 o'clock, and after 30,000 throats hal proclaimed their welcome from the flay draped stands he held a reception to the ball teams down on the diamond. Another struggle and he got back into his seat and the game was on. It took ten minutes more before th president could see the game. A battery of photographers planted themselves along the range of vision and let their machines click until the president shouted: "Sit down. I want to see the game.! Then the fans knew he was a real man. and they cheered him a welcome to their neighborhood. Every few minutes, however, someone would make his way to a place near the president and he would be shaking hands again. "Pop" Anson was among the first of these and there was some good natured chafing. President Heydler of the national league soon took a seat near the president as a sort of technical adviser. ' August Herrmann, chairman of the national commission, with Major John Galvia of Cincinnati, followed suit and bad a chat with the president On one side of the president sat Secretary of War Dickinson; who is some Tan" himself. On the other was Governor Deneen. but the latter, much as he seemed to enjoy the game, never got into any real arguments as to the fighting. Secretary Dickinson did. Hamiltonians Near Taft' Next to Secretary Dickinson was Captain Archibald Walllngfrled Butt. U. S. A., tbe president's aid. and on Governor Deneen's left was President George W. Dixon of the Hamilton dab President Taffs host at the game Nearby were grouped about 2,000 Hamlltonians, including Congressman William W. Wilson. Fred Londln, George E. Foss and James R. Mann. Congressman Wilson got the first rise out of tbe president when the latter suggested a query as to the slae of the crowd. , - "Oh, 40,000,' said Congressman Wilson, with the alertness of an election forecaster. President Taft turned in President Heydler. I want an expert opinion, not a Chicago guess," he said, and Heydler guessed 27.000. A little later the official figures wars reported at 30.13C J -I wasn't so far out 1 of- the way," commented Congressman Wilson. "No. not for a Oricagoan. admitted the president "Only WfiOO. or about 25 per cent That's pretty close for a Chlcagoan. " He talked about college players with Secretary Dickinson and the ages of the players with President Heydler. Now and then he let his feelings babble into words when a good ptar or a bad one brought the fans to their feet At first they thought he was a little cold. Some one cried up to him to cheer ap. I am from Cincinnati." he snooted back "and I've got a cold."
