IS GENEROUS SOUL Cambridge City Man Presses His Wealth on County Clerk Penny. NEAR ARREST BY SHERIFF County Clerk Harry E. Penny came into possession of a valuable watch this afternoon in a peculiar way. Ward Parsons of Cambridge City, who, it was evident, was under the influence of liquor called upon the county clerk and asked for him to pass judgment on an article which he claimed reDresented the views of the Spiritualists and the Christian Science. He also gave Mr. Penny ten cents. About ten minutes later, he returned and asked for the loan of 25 cents, and put his watch on the counter. The loan was refused, Mr. Penny de claring that Parsons had money, as the latter had showed him thirty-five cents on his first visit. Parsons explained that he gave a man twentyfive cents to get out of the court house. It was finally necessary for the county clerk to call upon the sheriff but before that official arrived, Parsons had disappeared and left the watch. ARE TO TAKE EXAMS Pupils of the seven month district schools of the county, who will finish the graded sections this year will take examinations Saturday, which, if they pass, will entitle them to admittance to the high school of the township in which the pupils live. County Superintendent Jordan estimates that there are about two hundred pupils in the county who will take this examination. AUTOS MINUS TAGS According to Patrolman Staubach, the policeman stationed' at the coiner of Eighth and Main street, there are many automobiles being driven in Richmond without license number tags. The owners will probably be given notice by Chief of Police Gormon to secure numbers or suffer the consequences. io seuTpIrty Esther J. Buffkin has been appointed guardian of the estate of Miss Marjorie Buffkin, aged 19, in probate court proceedings. The guardian gave bond for $1,200 and asked to sell real esr tate which Miss Buffkin would inherit when she becomes of age. as in the guardian's judgment the property may be disposed of at very good advantage at the present time. MOOSE WILL CHANGE At the meeting of the Moose lodge last evening, it was decided to change the meeting place of the lodge on May 1, at which time the lease on the club rooms in the Colonial building ex pires. It is probable arrangements will be made with the management of the Pythian temple for the Moose to meet there. New by-laws were also adopted at last evening's meeting. A large percentage of the membership, which numbers 347, was present at the meeting. HACKETT A SPEAKER Norman Hackett, the well known actor, who appears at the Gennett this evening in "Classmates," lectured this afternoon at the high school on Shakespeare. His address was a most instructive one, as Mr. Hackett is one of the best Shakespearean students on the American stage. Nearly all the students at the high school heard the address. -

HE SOLD TO

Bartender William Isenhower Enters Plea of Guilty to Charge. William Isenhower, the bar keeper in William Green's saloon on North Eighth street, entered a plea of guilty in the city court this morning to the charge of selling liquor to minors. Two separate cases were filed against him, and he pleaded guilty to both. In the case of Paul Selby, a minor to whom liquor was sold, Isenhower drew the minimum fine of $20 and costs. His fine was stayed by Ben Bowing, the Main street saloon keeper. The other case against Isenhower is that of Guy Northern. Although the bar tender pleaded guilty to selling to j Northern, the decision was withheld until it is proved that Northern is a minor. It is said that the parents of the two boys registered the complaint with the police, which resulted in Isenhower's arrest. PREPARE FOR OLYMPICS. Athletes on Other Side Ready to Send Teams to Athenian Games. The Olympic games are to be held at Athens this 'spring despite the re ports to the contrary, and not a few of the athletes on the other side of the water are making preparations to be there. Last fall the English Amateur Athletic association decided not to send a team, and now It Is said it has not changed Its policy, but has announced that if the athletes care to go they are at liberty to do so at their own expense. The first country to make a definite move for the Athenian games is Australia, and the antipodes will send Wood and Sime for the Marathon race. Except President Taft might order a team to be mustered here, there is hardly any possibility that America will be represented. Professor Sloane of Columbia university is the American representative of the international Olympic committee, and it is not known what his views are about sending an American team to Athens. The Amateur Athletic union could muster a team, and so could the Intercollegiate association, but any foreign mixtures around April or May would interfere with the dual college meets and the championship, so that the college man would be out of it for Athens. In 1906, when America sent a team, the men were not the best in the land, but nevertheless they won the point of honors, and.no doubt as good a team if not better could be mustered now. Only recently President Taft recommended congress to make a grant of 550,000 to send the athletes to the Vienna exposition games next summer. The trip to Vienna for about forty men would not use up half of the sum, and there would be plenty of money to send the boys down to Athens. They could go to the Grecian capital first and take in Vienna and all other games worth attending on their way home. NATIONAL GOLF TOURNEYS. Philadelphia, Brookline, Mass., and Flossmore, III., Awarded Fixtures. At a meeting of the executive committee of the United States Golf association in New York recently dates for the three national championships were assigned as follows: The open at the Philadelphia Cricket club. June 17 and IS; the amateur at the Country club of Erookline, Mass.. Sept. 12 to 17, and the women's at the Homewood Country club of Flossmore. 111.. Oct. 10 to 13. An enthusiast in Sydney, Australia, writes Secretary Wilson that he contemplates bringing a team of six amateur golfers and four lawn tennis play ers to this country next year. His idea Is to start in the spring in southern California and close at Boston or Newport In August. Included in the tennis team would be Brooks and Wilding. Hold Big Athletic Meet in Philadelphia. It was decided at the annual meeting of the Intercollegiate association recently that the intercollegiate track and field meet will be held this year on Franklin field, Philadelphia, and that the 1911 meet be held in Syracuse, the Syracuse university baring extended an invitation to hold the 1911 meet in that city. Colgate and Wesleyan were admitted to membership in the association by a unanimous rote.

THEY MUST STOP IT Chief Gormon Says Boys Must Quit Playing Baseball on Streets. MANY COMPLAINTS MADE "Unless baseball playing in the streets is stopped soon, there is going to be a bunch of frightened youngsters lined up here for a mighty stiff lecture within the next few days," said Superintendent of Police Gormon, and the earnestness with which the big chief punctuated his remark by pounding his fist on the desk, showed that lie meant just what he said, too unier uormon stated that com plaints were coming in thick and fast at police headquarters and were invariably the same. "Just give a small boy a baseball bat and a ball and he can" do more damage than a gattling rr..M I t Ailn.ifl K..t . V sun, uc ucnaicu, uui it uao ui w uc oiujjpcu auu uuicss me eyui i ttu , oe mauigea in on me stxeei, it win have to be cut out altogether." In this manner Chief Gormon placed the stamp of disapproval on the practice and cast somewhat of a damper on i the baseball season in Richmond. Frequent reports of runaways, broken window panes tand injured pedestrians caused by playing baseball In the streets have been sent in to headquarters until the police assert that they are not going to "monkey" with the youngsters any longer and the blue coats have been instructed to "pinch" the small violators if necessary.

GUARDIAN FOR HORII Frank Unthank was appointed guardian of Josea Horn this morning, by Judge Fox.

WOMEN TAKE ARMS

They Insist That Alleys Be Cleaned of the Deposits of Winter. GENN IS WORKING HARD The annual alarm of the alleys being congested by the deposit of the win ter's trash, and protests on their un sightly condition is being sounded and iu West Richmond particularly, the women, according to their husbands, who have made no personal complaint to the authorities, are preparing for battle. Street Commissioner (lenn and his force of workmen, as well as the board of works, the councilmen and possibly even the janitor of the city building, will have "their eye scratched out. unless the alley are cleaned, so say the male residents of that district. Mr. Genn stated that there had been many complaints registered, but that the 6treet departmen was attending to them as rapidly as possible. The colcctiou of trash during the winter alvays makes the spring work very arduous and requires considerable time before the work can be finished. The schedule of the trash collecting wagons is interfered with and it is often that a week or so elapses before the trash boxes can be emptied at this time of i he year. The work on scraping the alleys and streets will not be commenced until it is certain that the bad weather is past. Then the force will be increased and within a short time after the work is commenced the city will have put on its summer clothes. The work of keeping the streets and alleys clean will not be neglected. CHILD BREAKS ABM Stella, the ten year old daughter of Oliver T.
