This City in the Past Has Been Particularly Free From Scandals Growing Out of Election Frauds.

The city election next Tuesday promises to be the best regulated, the quietest and freest from fraud ever held in this city. Of two things the residents may rest assured, and that is that the election will be free from underhanded action and well regulated, as a fund of over $2,000 has bee.n promised by influential citizens, in subscriptions, which is to be used to prosecute any one attempting fraudulent methods. The resolution and signers to the petition are as follows: Honest Election Fund. The undersigned citizens and taxpayers of Richmond, believing that honest elections are essential to good government, hereby subscribe the sum of twenty-five (f 25.00) dollars each, to be used as a fund to assist in the prosecution and conviction of any person voting illegally, attempting to vote illegally, or attempting to procure others to vote illegally at the city election to be held Tuesday, November 2, 1!K.

At each of the previous city elections, a fund has been raised for the prosecution of persons who attempt to vote illegally, or endeavored to secure others to vote illegally. The fact that the money thus raised, was never drawn upon, speaks well for Richmond. The subscribers to the fund are as safe from being called upon to spend their money as are others who were not called upon to contribute. The honest election fund meets with the entire approval of the various candidates and especially Dr. W. W. Zimmerman, the republican nominee, and Pettis A. Reid, the democratic nominee for mayor. HE EVEN EXCEEDS NOTORIOUS HOCH Infamy of Mueller Disclosed by Discovery of a Number Of Letters. HAD MANY WOMEN VICTIMS EPISTLES, WHICH HAVE NOW BEEN TRANSLATED REVEAL WHOLESALE OPERATIONS IN CRIME THAT ASTOUND ALL. (American News Service) New York, Oct. 29. A mass of letters from women victims written to Otto Mueller, alias Frederick Gebhardt, prove that his career eclipses In infamy and brutality that of Johann Hock the Chicago Bluebeard. The translation of these letters, most of which are in German, was completed today. These epistles, say the police complete the story which has slowly been constructed from the facts known about the confessed murderers terrible life. They were found in the home where he lived with the wife he was planning to kill, according to her story. Coroner Wm. B. Savage of IsHp, L. I., discovered a pile of them, and the work of translation was immediately given over to an, expert Police Are Astounded. They reveal wholesale operations in crlmo that are astounding, the authorities declare. "The case of no other known professional wife slayer can compare with that of the prisoner." Coroner Savage said today, "judging from the letters. They show him to be an arch-bigamist and we think that they will prove a series of murders against him that will be greater than that we have suspected. He had reduced the mulcting and killing of women to a science." Hoch, whose case is a criterion in the history of bigamist-murderers, which supposed to have married fourmn women. He was convicted of

MOORS ARE TO QUIT (American News Service) Madrid, Oct. 29. Starvation and lack of ammunition probably will bring the Moroccan war to a swift close. Reports from Melilla today de clare that the Moors were in a pitiable plight, their forces scattered by numerous defeats, their ammunition at low ebb, and their supplies cut off by the vigilance of the Spanish authorities against smuggling. Floods have caused enormous damage, drowning thousands of the cattle on which the tribesmen depended for food. Some of the ruffians have already made overtures for peace and it is expected that the Moors will soon make a similar move.

Boni And Princess Anna Are Deprived of Their Three Sons

Paris, Oct. 20. The three delicate children of Anna Gould, now the Princess de Sagan, and Count Boni Castellane, her first husband, in the nobility, must no longer remain in the custody of either the American princess or her divorced spouse. No excuses of delicate health, are to prevent the offspring of the disastrous marriage from being placed In school under the direct guardianship of an officer of the courts. This was decided by the court which has had under advisement the case of the Count de Castellane against his former wife, growing out of the differences as to how their two eldest sons should be educated. By the decision, a former verdict, which ordered the children placed in the Lycee of Janson, is enforced to the letter and the parents are to have but little to say about the education of the children in the future. The court rebuked both the count and the princess . for their disagreement in the matter of schooling their children and ordered the judgment of May 27 last, put into Immediate effect. Thlsearlier judgment provided that, in the event of a disagreement in the matter between the parents, the boys be sent as resident pupils to the Lycee of Janson, where the court said they would be certain to find proper medical attention. The petition of the count that the defendant be penalized $100 daily for each child so long as she failed to obey the order wm rejected and the costs

A MORNING AFTER THE NIGHT BEFORE Earlham Faculty Reception Last Night Followed by Doings Today. ONE CUSS WORD IS HEARD THIS FORENOON AND THEN THE FRESHMEN HUNG OUT A BANNER AND THE NAUGHTY SOPHOMORES PROMPTLY BURNED IT. "And the morning after the night before,' was never more fittingly applied than to the students and faculty of Earlham college this morning. Last evening the faculty was invited to the opening faculty reception at tlie home of Professor A. M. diaries and this morning those who could not teach their classes, gave examinations. One professor spoke of the conversation of two men after an accident and used a cuss word. The freshmen in order to add to the excitement placed a small banner with '13 in black letters, in the front of Bundy hall and a crowd of sophomores burned the banner. The boy students of the college have not as a rule visited the day student room on the first floor of Lindley hall. This morning a sign was placed on the wall stating that all boys "were "welcome" and the name of a girl student signed at the bottom. COUNT BONI. -LV emu Tf Jt mm j of the case were divided between the two parties. Following the Judgment of last May the princess has deferred placing the children in the school as directed on the grounds that their health was such as to make that course impracticable. On last Friday the count instituted an action praying for an enforcement of the court's instructions. -

Entrences to And all this happened the "morning after the night before." Two Honorary Guests. At the reception last evening every faculty member was present and honorary guests including Dr. and Mrs. W. L. Bryan of Indiana university and C. H. Keyes of Hartford, Conn., the superintendent of the Hartford public schools. On the way to this city last evening, it is asserted by one member of the faculty, that a certain other member who has an automobile, could not make his machine go as fact as the other vehicles. This was denied by a certain other member. It no doubt led to the first "break" by the faculty this morning. In a certain class this morning a professor was telling his students of a certain railroad accident. "One man viewed the train," he said, "and said that it was an act of Providence, that none of the travelers were ' injured. Another man came up and viewed the same scene and said 'what a damn lucky accident." Of course the students laughed and the class continued. Oh You Freshmen! Before the majority of the students awoke in Bundy dormitory, this morning the freshmen had placed a white banner with '13 painted on the same in front of the boys "dorm.' It had been placed "high and dry" on the cornice. The sophomores were then as active as the former and a number of them, despite the protests of the ! aigninea seniors tore down tne emblem, built a small fire and hurled the freshmen banner in the flames. A large crowd finally collected but the affair was carried no farther. This is the first class "scrap" which has taken place at the college for a number of years, other than on class day. At this time the freshmen generally wear their colors to the breakfast table and the sophomores try to
