OPEIIIIIG COUCERT OF MAY FESTIVAL TOR THIS EVENING

Attractive Program Greets Richmond Music Lovers at the Beginning of Two Days' Treat at the Coliseum. CHILDREN'S CANTATA A FEATURE TONIGHT Chorus of Three Hundred and Forty Voices Will Render Benoit's "Into the World," Directed by Mr. Earhart. Weeks of conscientious preparation will have their fulfillment this evening, when the first numbers of the May Musical Festival will be rendered In the coliseum before what promises to be the largest audience that ever attended a similar affair in Richmond. The soloists who have been engaged to take part have arrived in the city and Director Will Earhart has held last rehearsals of his orchestra and choruses. The evening entertainment begins at 8:15 o'clock. The May Festival this year differs from those which have been held in the past In that the chief features are the great choruses composed of local people. Heretofore famous orchestras have been brought here, and while eminently successful from a musical standpoint, Jt was believed that the benefit to be derived is largely proportionate to the amount of local participation in the prrams. This year, therefore, famous soloists have been substituted , for an out-of-town orchestra, whose place on the program will be taken by the Richmond Orchestral club. Concert This Evening.

SHIPS COLLIDED; EIGHTEEN PEOPLE Port Huron, Mich., Today Hears of Terrible Tragedy Which Occurred Yesterday During a Dense Fog. . SAILORS ARE HURLED INTO THE HATCHWAYS And Were So Badly Injured That They Could Not Escape From Sinking Vessel Only Four Escaped. (American News Service) Port Huron, Mich., Mas' 24. Eighteen persons, members of the crew of the big lake steamer, "Frank Goodyear" perished as result of a collision, off Point-Aux-Barques, thirty miles from here, on Lake Huron, between that vessel and the steamer "James Wood" in a dense fog. The latter steamer arrived here this morning Captain Havenrich of the "Frank Goodyear," the steward, the steward's mother and the wheel man. the only persons who survived the sinking of the "Frank Goodyear." The "wood" rammed squarely into the "Goodyear," tearing a great hole through which the water poured , In a great volume and soon covered the decks. Many of' the crew succeeded In getting life preservers on but fell into the hatches, receiving serious injuries which prevented their jumping over board from the sinking ship. The "Wood" put out small boats but the "Goodyear" sank so rapidly that little attempt at rescue could be made. The "Wood" cruised about the scene of the disaster eight hours, hoping to recover others, either dead or alive but was un successful. The cook of the "Good year" had his baby knocked out of his arms by a falling beam and the body was swept into the lake, despite des perate efforts to save the infant. The collision occurred Monday but the news reached here only today on the arrival of the steamer "Wood." The "Goodyear" was owned in Cleveland and the "Wood" belongs in this city.

REMONSTRANCE IS CIRCULATED NOW ill JACKSOII TWP.

"Wet" and "Dry" War Starts and the Latter Faction Is Confident of Eliminating the Saloons. SOME OPPOSITION IS SHOWN TO MOVEMENT Remonstrance Circulators Expect to Present Petition to Commissioners at the June Meeting. Jackson township Is now in the throes of a blanket remonstrance campaign. The "drys' believing that Cambridge City, the largest town In the township, has gained a very unfavorable reputation as a result of the weekly visits of suit case brigades from the adjoining "dry" territory, started a petition about five days ago. It was announced today by one of the leaders that the petition would be fited with the county auditor within the next week. The county commissioners will be asked to pass on the petition at the June meeting. Wilfred Jessup has been secured by the "drys" to engineer the campaign To Insure success it will be necessary for the "drys" to have 590 signatures to the petition, which is one over a majority of halt the voters of the township. Some of those citizens who are opposing the remonstrance plan are declaring that they are doing so because of the belief that Wayne county, hav ing taken the stand at the local . option election in the spring of 1900, there should be no remonstrance measures undertaken at this time. It is also asserted that the fight will have its effect In the coming political campaign. The temperance leaders, however, do not propose to wait for an other local option election and declare It to be their purpose to continue the fight to the finish along the remonstrance plan. , Cambridge City is the .only "wet" spot in Jackson township. Dublin and East Germantown are said to be con ceded to the "drys" as is also that part of the township outside the towns. In Cambridge there are five saloons that have been in operation since the days of the prairie schooner. In recent years, it is generally conceded the liq uor dealers have observed the law bet ter than ever before. WANTS MAIDEN NAME. Mrs. Vista V. Raylay, who was granted a divorce yesterday morning filed a petition this morning, in the circuit court to have her maiden name of Vista V. Brown restored.

DEMOCRATS HERE

AND QUITE READY FOR COillTIOIl Sixth District Party Leaders Gather in Richmond for the Purpose of Nominating a Candidate for Congressman KUHN, MULL AND GRAY MAKE STRONGEST BIDS Most Delegates Come Pledged to One or Another of the Five Aspirants,, and Hard Race Is Expected. ; The flower of Sixth district de mocracy came to town today and politics is buzzing loud in hotel lobbies and around the street corners. The serious business of the convention that opens tomorrow morning In the Murray theater is the nomination of one of 'their party leaders to make the race against Judge Barnard for a seat in the National house, and present symptoms point to the most active democratic district convention in the state. Five avowed candidates have -set up headquarters, and it is scarcely possible to indicate which has the , best chance of victory on the morrow. In the hope of catching the "float ers" the unpledged delegates from Shelby. Decatur. Franklin and Hancock counties the Mull. Gray and Kuhn men were busy all day booming their candidates and ribbons announc ing the loyal ones floated in the breeze as the campaigners scurried about. The three leaders are making the hardest fight, as Chambers. - of New Castle.' and Fetterman, of Brookville, apparently control only the delegates from their own counties. - Kuhn May Win on Second. . The discussion today only seems to emphasize what was stated in the Palladium yesterday that- -Kuhn, the Wayne county man, must win on the secona oaiioi or not ai aii. neaaeo ny Judge Morris, of Rushville, the men who are backing Lon Mull, of Manilla. Rush county, declare they will not withdraw their candidate's name, and Finly Gray, of Connersville, is also in the race to stay. Therefore, if Kuhn would win, his campaigners must hold the Wayne delegation solid and also be able to swing at least forty addi tional votes. - Many believe he will not be able to do this and that the Wayne delegation will break on the ' third ballot. There is little talk of presenting the name of a 'dark horse! in the conven-. tion, although it was admitted that ' this might be done in case of a dead lock. John M. Lontx, of Richmond. told the Palladium yesterday that he was assuredly not a candidate for the nomination, and that his friends un derstood this facL Mull is Formidable, v In case Mull should win the nomination. Rush county would have - Its share of names on 4he state and dis- . trict democratic ticket. The party candidate for lieutenant governor, as well as one of the candidates for a seat on the supreme court bench are from Rush, and . this, fact may work against the Manilla man. His strength at home and in Shelby county Is not to be discounted, however, and eonservative democrats . consider him as more than a possibility. . The convention will be called at 19 o'clock, but routine business will prevent the nominations from being made . until afternoon. GO TO TERRE HAUTE ' ' . . ; Will Reller and Lawrtnca Handley Are After tha G. A. R. Encampment, i MANY VETERANS TO HELP Lawrence Handley and Will W. Reller went to Terre Haute this afternoon to , attend the state encampment of the G. A. R. which Is being held in that city this week. The local men will exert every Influence in bringing the encampment to Richmond next year and will be aided In accomplishinng this by a large delegation of veterans from this city. The local delegates will have In their possession a large number of badges bearing the slogan, "On to Richmond 191L" They have also prepared a number of maps with the principal cities marked. A large hand is shown in the center of the map with the finger pointing to Richmond and on which Is the Inscription, "All roads lead to Richmond."
