At 12:30 O'clock Splendid Pageant, Showing the Prosperity and Wealth of the City, to Move. THOUSANDS EXPENDED FOR THE SPECTACLE Every Train and Interurban Entering the City Today Brought People to CityOrderly Crowds. INDUSTRIAL PARADE. Assemble on Main between 4th and river Thursday; parade moves east on Main to 20th, thence north on 20th to E, west on E to Ft. Wayne avenue, south on Ft Wayno avenue to 7th and disband. Even the weather man is in harmony with the spirit of the occasion and had the weather been made to order it would not have been possible to obtain more ideal conditions than now exist. When the grand industrial parade starts' at 12:30 o'clock, it is thought it will surpass anything that has ever been attempted in this regard in this section of the country. Small floats from the simplest design to gigantic structures of the most elaborate sort will be entered In the parade. For week's there has been rivalry among the business men of the city in arranging the prettiest float and some of them are magnificent specimens of workmanship and art. Large sums have been expended for the elaborate decoration of the entries and Indications point to the far greater success Df the enterprise this year than last. I i Thousands Pour In. - Every train and interurban car entering the city thlB-' morning carried hundreds of happy, care-free, humanity all eager to enter into the spirit of the occasion and witness the festivities of this colossial event. As the time for the parade approached thousands of persons were lined up on each side of Main street, waiting in breathless suspense for the coming of the gorgeous spectacle. Every available space, on which it Is possible to stand, was occupied on the principal thoroughfares. The crowd surpassed even the fondest expectations of the executive committee. The offices and business houses which line Main street, were filled to overflowing by persons who dfesired to witnesB the parade from the windows of these buildings. Never have the police seen a more orderly crowd, it Is said. The extra squad of police which was put on, apparently was not needed, except for the purpose of reminding the crowds that they must keep back behind the ropes, which were suspended along the curbing on Main street. The Denver Brown Camp of Spanish War Veterans also helped the police in keeping the crowds back and their services were greatly appreciated. N Bugles Head Parade. The bugle corps will head the parade adn will be followed by the soldiers In event they arrive in time. Miss Juliet Swayne, impersonating the poster girl, will be next In line, with her attendants, the Misses Mildred Gaar, Rose Oennett, Marie Campbell and Josephine Cates. Three sections of Smittie's band and the Y. M. B. C. band will take part in the parade and furnish ample mvV fr the occasion. The parade will probably be at least two miles long and will eclipse In grandeur any similar event ever witnessed in this "The Panic Proof City." Farmers from miles around forsook

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE WORD PALLADIUM. The Palladium what a strange name for a newspaper you say? Fifty years ago you would not have said so, for the name Palladium had a great vogue among the early American newspaper owners. And so it Is that almost invariably the name Palladium on a newspaper, when found today, stands for a long career dating from the early part of the century. (The Richmond Palladium itself was established In 1831.) Those first pioneer newspaper men. who began in the towns which were springing up on the then frontier, had a real reason for choosing the name Palladium. It has a historic background of its own. Back in the days of old Troy, when the Greeks were besieging the city (considerably before the time of Homer, who told the historic tale), the people looked to the statue of Pallas Athene in the temple for protection. Not only was she the goddess of wisdom but It was said that so long as the Palladium (her image) remained In the city the town was safe. Subsequently, the tale tells, that Ulysses the Crafty managed to steal the Palladium away and the Greeks captured the town. It Is a pretty fancy but like all fancies has a remarkable amount of truth in it A town without a newspaper is in & helpless condition. A town with a dishonest newspaper whose ideals are stolen or bought by tome modern Ulysses is in as bad a way as the -town of Troy. We are fond of that old name The Palladium the American heritage is pleasing bat particularly does the present management of the paper feel it owes to the citizens of this community the guardianship of the trust which devolves on every newspaper. We appreciate the faith of the people in the Palladium which adds force to what would otherwise be but a name of bygone newspaper days or a betrayal of trust to the citizens of Richmond The Palladium's float in this industrial parade represents the historical significance of its nam.

their fields early and at the first dawn of day headed their horses in the direction of Richmond and arrived in large numbers, with their wives and families. All roads lead to Richmond today. The latch siring is out as evidenced by the enormous crowds, all anxious to pay homage to Richmond, the enchanted Quaker City of the West. The livery men experienced a land office business. The hotel and restaurant keepers also are wearing the elastic smile. Everyone feels just like shouting for the mere joy of living. The magic spell is on all, and all glory in it COLLEGE MAN CROOK Black Sheep of Prominent Family Held in the Newark, N. J. Jail. CHARGED WITH FORGERY (American News Service) Newark, .N. J., Oct. 7. Eugene Schlande, formerly a wealthy resident of St Louis, where he married Miss Schubert, who subsequently divorced him, is a prisoner in jail today charged with forgery while the police and Pinkerton detectives have started a wide investigation, tracing operations of the prisoner in various sections of the United States. Schlande, a graduate of the University of St. Louis and of Cornell, came here after squandering an inheritance of nearly $75,000 and secured work as a bookkeeper for the manufacturing firm of F. Matts. The Union National Bank complained to Mr. Matts that his account had been overdrawn and the subsequent investigation led to the forgery charge against Schlande. The technical charge is based on an alleged $300 forgery. PINCH A 8IG CHIEF Heap big Injun, Chief American Horse, obtained a quantity of fire water late last night and got just a sip too much for he became thoroughly saturated. His war whoops and pow wow dance in the vicinity of the Central House, attracted the attention of Sergeant McNally about 1 o'clock this morning and the red man was promptly pinched. Considerable difficulty was experienced by the big policeman in landing his victim without losing his scalp, but by the use of a little persuasion with the aid of the big mace, the Indian was successfully placed behind the iron bars. In the city court this morning the Indiana was fined $1 and costs and the fine was paid by his employer. American Horse is one of the three Indians playing a feature act at a local theater this week.

LIKE BIG EAGLE BUMBAUGH SOARS II HIS AIRSHIP

After His Failure of the Morninn Noted Aviator Wins Back Lost Honors by Afternoon Flight. THOUSANDS GAZED AT UNIQUE PERFORMANCE Ascension Made on South H Street Lot on Scheduler Time and Without the Slightest Trouble. Resembling a large eagle coming down from the crags to crown the "Panic Proof City," George L. Bumj baugh, in his dirigible balloon, made i a beautiful flight over the city yester day afternoon. With the airship un der perfect control and with excellent weather conditions, Captain Bumbaugh flew for fully twenty-five minutes tc the delight of 30,000 people. At exactly twenty minutes of five Captain Bumbaugh arose easily an,' slowly on the field at South H am Eighth streets. The balloon wa started south and then turned to the north toward Main street His as sistants had left him and were in ai automobile ready to follow. The larg' gas bag propelled by a four cylindei engine, started down Eighth street n a height of about four hundred feet About two blocks from the starting point, the balloon struck an air cur rent which turned it completely arounand at the same time carried it out fiv. blocks west to Whitewater river valley Hit by Strong Breeze. Here it again encountered a strong air current which made the balloon ap pear as if it was at the mercy of th winds. But Bumbaugh worked wit) the engine and the rudder and 'th balloon headed down Main street. Captain Bumbaugh said afterwar. that at such a height he was unable tell where Main street was, and turn ed south before he had intended to dt so. The word that Bumbaugh had begir his flight spread like "wild fire," an the streets and roofs of buildings wer crowded with people. Nearly ever; resident of the city, both old an. young, were out to see the wonderfu' flight Many of the old inhabitant, of Richmond who remember great discoveries and inventions admitted that they had never dreamed of the tim when it would be possible for a mar to fly and at the same time have per feet control of the machine. The flight by Bumbaugh was a rec ord breaking event for this city and fo; the Fall Festival. It will mark r milestone in the history of Richmoni. In this day and age when so much is being accomplished and such great discoveries are being made the "Panic Proof City" can count as one of its achievements, the flight of a dirigible balloon. It is all the more remarkable since the man who is doing the work is an Indianaian. The machine did not start on the ex act time owing to a broken bolt in the propeller. It was some time before suitable material could be found to hold the propeller to the rod from the engine. Finally, however, some large nails were secured and the flight be gun. PLENTY OF DANCES The dancing at the Coliseum and Pythian Temple yesterday and today under the auspices of the Fall Festival, does not in any way mean that the big fall festival dance will not be given in the Coliseum Friday night The dance Friday night has been well advertised, and a large number of tickets have been sold for it Music will be furnished by Renk's full orchestra, and it will be the dance of the Festival by all means. Tonight the Fall Festival will give a dance In the Pythian Temple as was done last night The dance last night was splendidly attended. Music was given by Runge's six piece orchestra. The same orchestra will play tonight HORSE RUNS AMUCK Much excitement was caused at Tenth and North A streets this morning at the opening of the horse show by one of the show horses performing antics which caused two runaways. The horse began to kick and Jump and backed into the Model Grocery Company, delivery -wagon, breaking the front axle. The horse then broke loose and jumped over a junk dealer's horse, hitched on A street causing that animal to run. away and breaking up the wagon. -

Young Men's Business club of this city. Main street, with its decorations of yellow and white, together with the electric lights spanning the street, gave the appearance of a triumphant arch through which a portion of the prosperity of the "Panic Proof City" passed. Superb Decorations. The parade was significent and interesting because of the variety of the decorations. From a large battleship to a floral display the automobile owners did not only do Justice to themselves but pleased the visitors by their appearance. Probably the mo&t attractive design was that of the McConaha company. On their large Premier car-they erected a miniature battleship and "sailed" The Palladium and The World's Series Every baseball fan in Richmond knows' that tomorrow marks the beginning"of the world's baseball championship series, to be played off by, the Detroit Tigers, champions of the American League, and the Pittsburg Pirates, champions of the National league.'' .

down Main street caluting the throngs by the "firing" of six inch guns. The exhibit was the work of Elmer McConaha and with out doubt the most unique in the parade. The other machines to attract especial notice were those of Dr. F. S. Anderson, William H. Kelly, 8. E. Swayne, Ed Cates and R. G. Leeds. A vast majority - of the crowd on Main street went to the Warner school, on North Seventh street after the parade and watched the fire works display. Everyone present was pleased with the celebration. Several hundred dollars had been spent on this event alone and the pyrotechnics ended an eventful day. All the forms and creations of the Chinese world of fire works were consumed and the large crowds witnessed the greatest exhibit of this kind ever given in this city.

I AWARD

IN FLIGHT

BUMBAUGH BREAKS A WORLD'S RECORD Stays in Air Longer Than Any Other 12,000 Cubic Foot Dirigible. AVIATOR GIVEN OVATION PERFORMANCE 18 INTERESTING, SHOWING THE PUBLIC AND EXPERTS POSSIBILITIES OF AERIAL NAVIGATION. Captain George I Bumbaugh, the Indianapolis aviator, broke the world's record in his flight in the afternoon, by staying in the air over 20 minute3. While much longer flights in respect to time spent in the air have been made by large dirigible balloons.', yet never before has a 12,000 cubic feet dirigible been in the air so long. Captain Bumbaugh was cheered and cheered when he made bis descent, and the timers announced that the world's record had been broken. The feat is remarkable, not - bo much . because of the exhibition, but because every additional moment spent In the air shows both the public, and more particular the experimentors with air travel, that the dirigible balloon will some day be perfected so that it can be used as a common means of transportation. SMITTIE HAPPY MAII It was with an effort that Bandmaster Smittie, of the celebrated Smittie's band which is playing In this city during the Fall Festival, tore himself away from Cincinnati, for on Tuesday night the stork hovered over the Smittie homestead in the Queen City and presented the happy parents with a twelve pound baby boy. To say Mr. Smittie is happy would be putting It mildly indeed. His enthusiasm on the prospect of returning home tomorrow night where he may love and fondle the new baby to his heart's content, is unconfined. Perhaps this fact has added impetus to ' the efforts of the famous leader to please the thousands who daily congregate to enjoy the sweet music of his excellent band.

King CamivaVs Edict Wherefore it having been brought to my august attention that all Richmond will join in a Mardl Gras celebration on Friday night, the closing evening of the Fall Festival, And wherefore this night is to be one in which everybody has a gloriously good time. And wherefore this Is to bo fantastic night, and as no one can bs fantastic in their ordinary street clotties, I therefore order and decree that NO MAN, WOMAN Oft CHILD

appear on the streets- of Richmond ed, and masked. This order and decree must bo

will be subject to arrest, imprisonment and fins in my court. Such order is given under my vested authority to nils this nlfiM of frivolity, and is officially stamped by my great seal of fun. .. . Signed, T KING. CARNIVAL.

LAW ENFORCEMENT COIIVEIITIOII WAS HOI BIG SUCCESS

Various Meetings, Conducted By the Anti-saloon League, Attended by Not More Than a Hundred People. ADDRESSES MADE WERE A REDEEMING FEATURE It Is Also a Fact That Those Who Attended Were Among Strongest Characters in the State of Indiana. (Palladium Special? Indianapolis. Ind October 7. The law enforcement conference which was held in this city under the auspices of the' anti-saloon league this week:, was attended by only about 100 persons. Five sessions were held and the attendance did not run above that figure at any time. So far as numbers was eon. vriucu iuo cuotcrence was a iaiiure. out the character of the men present and the character and strength of the addresses and papers read at the conference more than made up for the lack of a crowd to hear them. The conference, as was stated Ions ago, was called by the anti-saloon league, although It was given out that the conference would not be devoted exclusively to the saloon problem. When the addresses were made how. ever, and the papers were read. It was found that every one of them wait based on the one q u estion the violation of the liquor laws. From All Standpoints. The question was considered from every standpoint. There was a congressman, a judge, two or three prosecutors, two or three mayors of cities, one or two chiefs of police and some state officers on the program, and they mil tank. & whirl t W 1,lMr-l tmm enforcement. It was expected In advance that tha conference would be attended by several hundred delegates from all ovet the state. Invitations had been cent to all of the church organisations as well as to civic leagues, commercial bodies and other similar ornnixations and It had been the hone of the nnmoL era that the response would be largSo, when the small crowd turned out. It was a disappointment. Most of those present, outside of the speakers, were persons from Indianapolis. Gave a Local Color. This gave the conference rather a local color, and this had led the anti-saloon league people to the conclusions that such conferences can be held la all of the dry counties of the state. They figure that If a conference of this kind can be pulled off In Marlon county It can bo done also In other counties and that much good will come of them. The anti-saloon league people realise that there Is much for them to do even In the dry conn ties, where they find blind tigers flourishing la many places and officials failing to do their duty in enforcing the laws. For this reason they hope, by means of these law enforcement conferences, to stir up Interest In the subject and arouse the people to a point where they will compel the enforcement of the laws. No plans have been mads yet for these conferences, but It Is expected that the league officers wfll bogin making the dates witaia a short time. The Oral Argument, , The oral argument of the ease bofore the supreme court la which the constitutionality of the county local option law Is attacked, was originally set for yesterday, but It was postponed until November 3. the day after the city elections throughout the stats. It Is said that there was no political significance In the change in the date, although It is the general opinion that It was a good Idea to postpone the argument until after the heat of the local campaigns had died away.
