ALLISON CAPTAIN ALL-STAR ELEVEN Heze Clark Names R. H. I Leader to Pilot Picked I Indiana Team. S. HE MAY NAME TWO OTHERS FULLBACK HAAS AND TACKLE FERLING MAY ALSO BE GIVEN PLACES ON THE TEAM ALL MADE FINE RECORDS. Carl Allison, captain and quarter on this year's local high school foot ball team, which won the state championship, has been chosen by Heze Clark, former Indiana star and expert high school loot ball critic, for the captaincy and quarter back position on the all-Indiana high school eleven. Clarence Ferling and Carlos Haas, tackl-; and full back on the high school eleven will also probably receive places on the All-Indiana team. There was . no question about Allison with Mr. Clark. Allison directed his team in a most superb manner and his individual efforts has won many a game. Haas and Ferling in their respective positions, did not shine lik Allison, but were not given as much credit as was due them, in all probability. Had these tvo been playing on a team without Allison, the credit that is Allison's would be theirs. Their selection by Mr. Clark for the All-Indiana team remains somewhat problematical because there are a number of other excellent players in these respective positions in the state. Always on the Job. Allison and Haai never fell down during the entire season, whether called upon to carry the ball or to punt in safe territory. In the latter respect both are excellent kickers in all of its branches. Allison did much of the punting and drop kicking while Haas did the place kicking. Both played nn excellent defensive game. As a field general. Alll3on was in a class by himself. To the untrained eye, Ferling's efforts did not show off like his other two team mates. His forte was that of defense and breaking up the oppo nent's offense. Much credit is due him for the team's showing this year: These three have played on the high school team the past four years and from the first, they have been stars. However, not until this year were they picked as All-Indiana stars. Their development into All-Indiana men this year is largely due to the efforts of James Calahan. a former Michigan varsity man. who coached them until in the middle of the season.

Rev. Dr. Cathell Gives Praise at Revival Service to D. G. Reid
At the union evangelistic meeting held in Reid Memorial church last night, the Rev. J. Everest Cathell. former rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church, In the course of his sermon paid a beautiful and an unusual tribute to Daniel G. Reid. He spoke as follows: Several congregations of Christian people of Richmond are representatively assembled here tonight for purposes of renewal and increase of spiritual life and power, in all the churches. We are met in one of the most complete and beautiful houses of God in the whole land, erected by the personal generosity of a well known man in loving memory of the piety of his Christian parents. In the holy Gospels It Is said of a man "He loveth our nation and hath built us a synagogue.. It may be said of Daniel G. Reid, "He loveth our city, and has given us a worshipful house of prayer," Doubtless, Richmond people all appreciate, In various estimates, this Reid Memorial church, i Doubtless, all Christian people are grateful for such filial testimony to parental piety.

SNOW IS FLYING THROUGHOUT EAST Started With a Vengeance in Pittsburg, Then Turned 'o a Drizzle. HEAVY FALL AT BUFFALO IN NEW YORK THE FIRST REAL SNOW STORM OF THE YEAR IS REPORTED THE WEATHER IS QUITE WINTER LIKE. (Palladium Special) Pittsburg, Nov. 19. A real oldfashioned snow storm with the temperature slightly higher than yesterday greeted Pittsburgers when they arose this morning. The snow continued until after 9 o'clock when it ceased and turned into a spring-like drizzle of rain. BUFFALO IS COVERED. Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 19. A heavy fall of snow which began about midnight gave Buffalo a blanket of the "beautiful" nearly three inches in depth within two hours. There was little wind and the snow settled down evenly. The snowfall was so heavy and came so suddenly that street cars were run with difficulty. In the railroad yards no trouble was reported. FIRST SNOW FALL. New York, Nov. 19. The first real snow of the season fell here today when the storm which has swept from the west hit Gotham. For a day the weather has been cold but the flakes did not begin to fly till today. SERVED HANOUET Veterans Last Evening Entertained Commissioners And Others. SEVERAL INFORMAL TOASTS The reception tendered last night by the Sol Meredith Post, G. A. R., In honor of the county commissioners, for giving the post tl'e privilege of occu pying a room in the court house, was an entire success being attended by all of the G. A. R. members and a large number of visitors. It is estimated that altogether 250 persons were pres ent. A banquet was sered at 7 o'clock, following which informal toasts of a patriotic nature were responded to by John L. Rupe, John F. Robbins, Hon Isaac Jenkinson, C. W. Jordan, Frank C. Kibbey, Thomas R. Jessup, Mrs Delia Phenis, of the Ladies Auxiliary Mrs. Nancy Haseltine, of the Woman's Relief Corps; Rev. J. M. Townsend, pastor of one of the local colored churches, and former minister to Haytl, and Judge Henry C. Fox. Several musical numbers of a patriotic character were rendered in a pleasing manner. The closing number was "Aulif Lang Syne," rendered by those present. Reece Marlatt, post commander, atcted as toastmaster. The hall and corridors of the court house, through which the guests passed to reach the post quarters, were prettily decorated with American flags. Those present voted the reception one of the most pleasing they ever had the pleasure of attending. FOB THE CITY The Pennsylvania railroad company through its attorney, John L. Rupe, has paid $500 to county clerk Harry E. Penny on account, for the city, for1 a strip of land, just north of the Glen Miller lake. it may be wondered if such appreciation and gratitude ever takes the form of supplication for God's blessing upon the benefactor. Mr. Reid was a well known Richmond boy and man. His diligence and integrity in business gave him pre-eminence in this city. While he lived here he always gave liberally and generally to the cause of religion. His transfer to the crowded metropolis, the larger world to which his surpassing abilities have summoned and engaged him have increased alike his opportunities ani responsibilities. If the Christian folk of this city do not remember such a man in their prayers and godly faith, it is not likely any body else will ever think of him in such connection. His needs of such pious sympathy may be greater than we can understand. He deserves a place alike in gratitude and the intercessions of the Christian people of this city. AVhen a man of such talents in the secular world is brought into the Kingdom of Heaven, the accession is significant beyond estimation. If he comes in on the wings of friendly interest, his service to God and to men will be incalculable.

COLLECTOR LOEB
MAKES CLEANING FOLLOWING PROBE Deputy Collector of the Port, James F. Vail, and Eighteen Other Custom Officers A.e Given the "Can.'r IS CONNECTED WITH SUGAR TRUST FRAUD It Is Generally Believed the Shakeup Made Today Is a Forerunner of Wholesale House Cleaning. New York, Nov. 19. Collector of the Port Loeb today caused one cf the biggest shakeups that ever occurred in the customs department, when he announced the discharge from the service of James F. Vail, deputy collector of the port, and eighteen other customs officers. The shakeup is the result of investigations into the weighing department, in connection with the Sugar Trust fraud. Those discharged besides Vail were George E. Bedell, an inspector, formerly chief clerk of the weighing department; James P. Shiland and Joseph O. Carrol, ex-foreman of weighing districts; ten assistant weighers, three inspectors, formerly assistant weighers; one inspector and one assistant gauger. Came as Surprise. The dismissal of Vail came as a big surprise. His name was mentioned by witnesses at the trial of Antonio and Phillip Musica, charged with bribing government inspectors, but nothing that would directly implicate him in the alleged bribery was told. Vail was promoted to the office of deputy collector from that of deputy surveyor of the port and his salary was raised five thousand dollars. Collector Loeb in telling of Vail'3 dismissal makes it clear that no proof that he was guilty of any corruption had been found. Around the customs department today it was generally believed that this shake up, by which nineteen men lost their jobs, is only the forerunner of a greater house cleaning. CRAIG ON THE HEWS Kenneth Craig, for the past two years a reporter on the Evening Item, has resigned his position to take a similar position with the Indianapolis News. He will go to Indianapolis to assume his duties a week from Monday. CASE IS POSTPONED The trial of Earl Doddridge of Milton, indicted for dynamiting fish in a stream south of Milton, has been postponed from next Wednesday until December 3. Doddridge will be tried by the petit jury in the circuit court. Camels. Camels can easily carry enough crater in their bodies to last them about a week.

CNDEAN fcxr LOOPED THE LOOP IN AN AUTOMOBILE But Three Richmond Men Escaped Without Either Receiving a Scratch. CAR WAS NOT DEMOLISHED ONLY DAMAGE WAS A BROKEN WIND SHIELD BIG MACHINE DASHED OFF THE ROAD AND THEN TURNED OVER. To be the occupants of an automobile which jumped off a ten foot embankment, turned completely over and buried Its passengers underneath, is the experience which befell F. M. Jones, Everett McConaha and Omer Jones of this city, near College Corner. Wednesday night. Strange to relate, none of the riders were injured. Just about dusk the party left College Corner for Richmond in Mr. McConaha's big automobile. When just this side of College Corner, Mr. Jones endeavored to light the front lamps, but the generator had frozen and there was nothing doing. The side lamps were then lighted 2nd the ride continued In the dim illumination. The machine was traveling at the rate of perhaps eight or ten miles an hour when the rear wheels skidded on some grass, just as the car was passing over a small bridge, the hub caught on an obstruction on the bridge and the automobile dashed over the embankment, apparently to the instant death of its occupants. Landed in Stream. In its leap the machine turned completely over and landed in the bed of a stream which, fortunately, had very little water in it. The occupants of the car were pinned underneath and the fact that they were not even scratched is regarded as the most remarkable. Another curious incident in connection with the accident is the fact that the car was not demolished. The wind shield alone was broken and badly bent. Frank Jones was running the automobile at the time of the accident. When the trio had crawled out from underneath the car and congratulated each other on their narrow escape from death or serious injury, a telephone call was sent in to College Corner and another automobile was immediately dispatched to the scene of the near catastrophe. The machine was raised yesterday by means of a block and tackle, the engine was started at the first crank and the car was run to this city. A BRIEF VACATION Hilariously "soused" with the "Oh be joyful" and rambling as wildly as a ship without a rudder, Irvin Devers, aged 62 years, was gathered up by Patrolman Westenberg on North Ninth and D streets this morning just an hour after the man had been released from the county jail where he had been a boarder for the past eleven days, for intoxication. In the city court this afternoon the old man put up a pitiful tale. He stated that his home was in Shelbyville and that if released he would leave Richmond Im mediately. Devers request was granted by Judge Converse and the man was put on the first interurban out

TRACTIONS AFTER
IHCREASEJN RATES Think Their Compensation for Carrying Mails Is Not Large Enough. DIFFERENCE OF OPINION YOUR UNCLE SAM IS INQUIRING AROUND TO LEARN IF HE IS NOT PAYING OUT TOO MUCH TO THESE ROADS. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Ind.f Nov. 11). The in terurban railroads of Indiana declare that they are not receiving sufficient compensation for the carrying of the United States mails and they are seek ing to' get a better rate from the gov ernment. And right on the heels of this announcement comes the state ment from Washington that the post office department is starting an in vestigation to find out of the govern ment is not paying an exorbitant price to railroads of all kinds for carrying the mails. So there seems to be two sides to the question. The Central Electric Railway association met here yesterday. The membership is made up of high officials of electric railways of the central states, and they meet several times a year to discuss electric railway mat ters. One of the subjects under dis cussion yesterday, was that of the rate for carrying the mall. What Speakers Said. Several speakers declared that the rate was too low, and some of them ad vocated the cancellation of the present contracts which the roads have with the government. They said they be lieved a concerted action along that line on the part of the electric railways would bring the government to time in the matter of rates. A committee has the matter in hand, and it will make further investigations and re port at the next meeting. Another matter under discussion was that of adopting a standard kind of draw bar for use on interurban cars, It was pointed out that there has grown up a great interchange of bus! ness among interurbans and that there is a large amount of through travel. passengers changing from one road to another. It is the belief of the offi cials of these roads that this class of business will grow and increase until it will be necessary to run through cars over two or more roads in order to accommodate through passengers. This will necessitate the adoption of stand ard cars or standard couplings, so that a car from one road may be coupled on to a car on another road, just as cars on steam roads are now coupled to cars of the other road. To adopt such a standard coupler would cost the interurabn roads a large amount of money, but the asso ciation appointed a committee to in vestigate the matter and report at the next meeting on some device for that purpose. The electric railway men realize that they will be required to do this some day by law passed either by the federal government or by the separate states, and some of the speakers on the subject yesterday said that the sooner they do It the better off they will be. Electric railway men were . present yesterday from practically every elec tric road in Indiana, Illinois, Michigan.
Ohio and Kentucky.

A PITIFUL TALE THE WOMAN TOLD
Officer Finds Mrs. Duncan and Two Children in Starving Condition. TAKES UP A COLLECTION HER HUSBAND ILL AT MARTINSVILLE AND SHE WAS TRYING TO GET BACK TO HER HOME AT PIQUA. OHIO.

Trom Martinsville, whore she had been attending h-r t-ick husband until lack of funds forced her to return home. When found the woman was cryin pitifully.
