Beginning Early This Morning Every Train and Traction Car Entering This City, From Every Direction, Was Loaded to the Guards With Happy, Care-free Merrymakers, and the Streets of the "Panic Proof City" Were Congested Throughout the DayExhibits Big Attraction

CROWDS A SAMPLE OF HUNDREDS TO COME TOMORROW Besides the Exhibits and the Agricultural Parade, Various Stores Were Magnets For the Throngs. HOLIDAY SPIRIT WAS GENERALLY PREVALENT At Noon Hour, Hungry Visitors Made Wild Dash on Restaurants and Hotels, Almost "Swamping" Them. Richmond is thronged with happy thousands today. These visitors have been drawn to the Festival City from all sections of eastern Indiana and western Ohio. The advance guard began to arrive yesterday afternoon. However the real Invasion started this morning, bright and early. Trains and lnterurban cars from ever direction, arrived in the city, "loaded to the guards." In ever section of the cltr the welcomed invaders held forth. Exhibits were Inspected by thousands and the principal streets were congested. To give an idea of the great crowd that swarmed into the city, when the hour for the airship ascension arrived the South. H street grounds were packed by thousands and at the same time Main street and North. E street were so congested that it was difficult for one to make his way through the crowds. '' ' Stores Are Attractive. ., To hundreds of the visitors the stores in the various parts of the city, especially on Main ' street and in the north end, were magnets. And, be it eald in favor of these enterprising merchants, their establishments were so attractively decorated and the stocks they had to offer so desirable and reasonable in price, that it took a woman with great will power to resist their bandishments. The crowd that swarmed about the city today is just a faint hint of the thousands that will flock into the city Thursday and Friday. The impression lias gone forth among the residents of the' surrounding country that these two days will be the "big ones" of the Festival and they have made all arrangements to help their Richmond neighbors celebrate this carnival of fall on those dates. V i An Interesting 8ight. It was an interesting , sight to parade through the business districts of the city at noon today. Barkers in raucous voices s&ng their wares; good natured hundreds pushed and shoved, to the time of blood-tingling band music, to get into the various restaurants and hotels for their meals. In every eating place standing room, even, was. at a premium. Proprietors of . restaurants had made every arrangement to handle the big crowds, but despite these arranents they were virtually "swept off their feet." One thing that pleased the Richmond people was the way people from the surrounding small towns and country districts informed visitors from more distant points that this -was their fall festival." They spoke truthfully, for Richmond's neighbors have done almost as much to make the celebration a success as have the residents of this city. Tonight the entire police force and the members of the local camp, United Spanish War Veterans, will be on duty to protect the crowds during the monster automobile parade. This event will be one of the most attractive and spectacular of the entire festival. It is estimated that it will be seen by forty thousand people. ROAD IS INSPECTED G. L. Peck, general manager of the Pennsylvania and his party of railroad officials passed through this city today on their general annual inspection trip. The officials stated that they were much pleased with the result of the Inspection thus far and the road bed and general appearance of the right-of-way was very satisfactory. The party' left for Chicago from this city and . will return east via the Northwest system.

KING'S THRONE SHAKES (American News Service) London, Oct. 6. The situation in Spain today is alarming, accredited to advices received through diplomatic channels. The continual drafting of men for the conquest of the Riff coast is driving the people frantic, and they declare that the occasional announcements of victory , are only sops to keep them from attacking the monarchy. A crisis may bring about the overthrow of King Alfonso. The real truth of the situation in Spain is studiously concealed, but as to its gravity there is no doubt here. The Spanish government has taken entire control of all means of communication and no dispatch can be sent out of the country that has. been inspected and authorized by the military censor. Authentic news has, however, reached here that conditions in Spain are more nearly revolutionary than in the days of the Barcelona uprising. King Alfonso maintains a bold front but it is understood that all arrangements have been made for a precipitate departure of the royal family when the storm breaks.

WALSH. MOST HAVE OR WILL Associated Charities Insists That It Have $2,000 Working Fund. HELD MEETING TUESDAY ALREADY THERE IS SUFFERING AMONG THE POOR REPORTED AND WINTER WILL INCREASE THE DISTRESS. Unless $2,000 is raised by the flnan cial committee of the board of asso ciated charities, that worthy organization will disband as it was decided yesterday at a meeting of the board that it would be useless to conduct the work until that sum had been se cured for the purpose. The financial committee consist of Benjamin John son, Samuel Gaar, George Knollen berg and Walter Doan. assisted by Timothy Nicholson and Rev. Parker, The committee has been untiring in its efforts to secure the necessary amount but thus far only about $1,000 in contributions has been secured. There is considerable suffering among the poor and needy of the city at present. The Associated Charities receive daily appeals for aid but cannot begin the charitable work for the winter until $2,000 has been raised. A particularly 'pitiful rase is that of a man by the name of Elmer Smith who resides in a tent at the extreme end of South Fifth street. The man Is seriously ill and is confined to his bed and suffering from lack of proper food and nourishment. His wife Is forced to work in the corn field to provide for her husband and their two small children who are sadly in need of clothing. The Associated Charities deserves the hearty co-operation of the citizens of. the city at this critical time, which means the success or failure of the organization.

LOUIS TO DELIVER LECTURE Tells Palladium Reporter That When He Reached Top of World Experienced the Tired Feeling. The real, original Dr. Fredorlck A. Cook, not merely a counterpart of the noted man. whose name has been on the lips of every man. woman and child in this great and. practically In every other portion of the world, for the past month the man who braved the terrors of the frozen North, and who was the first living man to wrap the stars and stripes around the much sought North Pule passed through Richmond at 8:10 o'clock this morning on train No. 27 enroute from New York to St. Louis. Only a few iwrsons of the mere handful at the Pennsylvania depot were aware of the fact that the fam ous discoverer was on the train with his wife and family, but the news soon spread like wild fire and It was with difficulty that the clamoring crowd was kept back until after the train pulled out of the station. Picture of Health. Dr. Cook appeared the picture of health. He Is greatly tanned and bronzed from the rough exposure and hardships endured In his long, successful journey of 50,000 miles and Is probably the happiest man alive. In an interview with a Palladium reporter, Dr. Cook was literally bubbling; over with enthusiasm. When asked what his feelings were when he finally realized that he had been successful In his mission and planted Old Glory In the field of Ice at the top of the world. Dr. Cook smiled and said that he was really too tired at the time to remember Just what kind of sensation he experienced. "My heart grew warm vhen I saw the flag fly In the wind, mv spirits were high and I shouted for joy, while the astonished Eskimos looaed at one another in surprise at my gayety," he saldf "How does the North Pole look? was asked. Describes the "Pole." , A broad smile spread over the features of the famous explorer as he answered, "like twenty-five cent piece. There was nothing to see but Ice, Ice. ice and still more Ice. "Did I regrr to leave the spot, did you say? I most certainly did bat at the same time I was anxious to make known my discovery to the world. "Of course I expected to be called a fakir by the moro skeptically Inclined. My whole expedition Is called s humbug by many people who declare that my note book and dally observations were manufactured on board the ship on the return journey. "The only thing I can put up against this Is what the York Eskimos told Knud Rasmussen. Let the skeptics who disbelieve my story go to the north pole. Thers they will find s small brass tube which I, myself, buried under the flaj. That tube eontains a short statement about my trip. I could not leave my visiting card because I did not happen to have on with me."
