TWO CANDIDATES ARE AFTER HIGH OFFICE

Zillmer, South Bend, and Louden, Bloomington, Would Be State Commander Parade on Program Tonight.

Inspired by the prospect of a successful encampment and cay in spite of the weather, three hundred members 8f the United Spanish War Veterans fame to Richmond today from all parts of the state to attend the seventh annual gathering of the order. Old uniforms, laid away since last year, were donned again and the headquarters Jn the Comstock building presented a war-time appearance. The convention is to last through this afternoon and evening and all day tomorrow. Preceding the first session of the encampment, the Grand Lair of the Military Order of the Serpent, the auxiliary secret society of the Spanish War .Veterans, met In the Commercial club rooms for a business session and the election of officers. Final preparations were made also for the parade and Initiation of the order to be held this evening.' The first meeting of the encampment is scheduled for 3:30 this afternoon in the circuit court room at the court house. Mayor Zimmerman is on the program to deliver the address of welcome, while Edward J. Gihon, of Boston. Mass., national commander in chief, will make reply. . Recall Old Times. All day the members of the organization have been gathering in little groups to talk again of the service they saw together in Cuba and the Philippines ten years ago. Men who had parted on transport docks or battle field years ago met here today and the encampment headquarters echoed with the evidences of renewed comradship. Much interest is being taken in the contest for the office of Department Commander. Charles F. Zillmer, of South Bend, arrived in the city last evening with a strong delegation booming him for. the place, and this afternoon Col. Louden, of Bloomington came to put forward his claims. It looks as if Zillmer win get the plum and that Fort Wayne will win the next encampment. Noted Fever Veteran. Among the many men attending the convention whose deeds of service brought them prominently before the public the figure of John R. Kissinger, of South Bend, stands out prominently. When the first regiments of the United States" army were landed in Cuba in IKS and nr, yellow fever was far mod dangerous than Mauser bullets, and northern physicians were unable to cope with the disease. The tiny mosquito was Buspected of carrying the Infection and in order to prove the charge, the Medical Corps attached to the service eaHed . for volunteers to allow themselves to be innoculated by the insects. Five were in the little group that came forward, and Kissinger Is the only one alive, the others having succumbed in a few days to the ravages of the fever that has left the one survivor physically - helpless. The story of the heroism of the five soldiers was told around the world, for as a result the doctors were able to locate the centers of infection and sooii all danger from yellow fever was eliminated. Kissinger is paralysed and unable to walk.. For some time the national organiiation of Spanish War Veterans has been trying to have Congress make a special dispensation in his case and allow him the full pension of $123 a month given to commissioned officers Buffering total disability as a result of serving their country. An early action by the National House is expected, as powerful influences are being brought to bear. Encampment Program. Following the business session this afternoon. Department Commander Prank Kibbey will give a dinner at his home in honor of the past Department Commanders, and Capt. Paul Comstock, now "Department Adjutant, will entertain the remainder of the department officers at his home. ;The program this evening includes the banquet of the Ladies' Auxiliary at the Westcott hotel at 6 o'clock, with a band concert immediately following.

WHAT'S A PARK FOR?

Is a park for the custodian, or is a

custodian for the park?

Mayor Zimmerman held in favor of the park this morning, when Chris Behring, who has charge of the South

Seventh Street grass-plot, charged into the Board of Works meeting and declared he "could do noddings mit dem poys on der grass." These hot days are not made for worry, the Mayor told him, saying at the same time that the parks belonged to the people and that grass was good to roll on. The Board granted Behring special police powers, however, but he was warned not to drag the whole south side into court for trespass on his greensward.

light breakfast gets busy with his training apparatus. He will do no more boxing after Thursday. , Hereafter all work is to be finished before noon. After Thursday Jeff will do only such things as tend to keep his

muscles supple and his joints well limbered. Road work will be reduced to a minimum. Summed up he will do just enough work to keep himself going and to stave off worry and doubt. He says that his strength has proved greater than ever before and that he feels excellent, notwithstanding the rigor of his training period. The usual good intentions of Jeffries again went awry yesterday. Wrhen he arose he walked over to the shade, stretched himself and announced that he would box. An hour later his , fishing pole was thrown over his shoulder and Jeff was on his way to the trout stream where he enjoyed life for several hours. Today he gave promise of more serious work and got down to business early.

CARD FOR COLISEUM

A STUBBORN JUROR

(American News Service) Chicago, June 27. Although almost insane from lack of sleep Juror Charles Spare today still held out against the other eleven jurors In the Browne bribery trial. Spare said he would stand firm till death, if necessary.

Of more than ordinary interest is the program of sporting events to be pulled off on Wednesday evening at the coliseum by the Richmond Athletic club, under the management of A.

J. Greulich. "Kid" Wiggam, the Indianapolis whirlwind, will box Charley

Ketchell, cousin of Stanley, in a ten

round exhibition "go" as the chief at

be a good wrestling bout, a battle

royal, and a four round scrap that promises to be lively, between Dwight Lane and Harry Clapp, who will weigh in at 110 pounds. Greulich assures the public that the exhibition will be on the sou are and well worth seeing. Ketchell and Wiggam are both training hard and will enter the ring at 159 pounds.

Hutchinson, Kan., June 27. Having serious doubts as to whether he really was fit to enter the priesthood of the Roman Catholic church, even after h had completed his studies at the Kenllworth seminary. J. J. O'Reilly evolved a most unusual test. Realizing that the life he was about '. to enter upon was one . of continual self sacrifice and repression, from which there could be no alternative, he determined to find out whether he was master of himself to the extent he be

lieved he should be, but the question troubled him and for weeks he was unable to meet it with an answer. At college O'Reilly took great Interest In baseball. This was at St. Benediet's college, at Atchison. Kan. Whila attending this school he met Blaine Durbin. formerly pitcher for the Chicago Nationals, and the two became friends. O'Reilly umpired many, games, and he got away good. No one ever kicked on his decisions. At Kenllworth college, St. Louis, he again became an umpire. He had a steady eye, knew the game thoroughly, and he was a student of human nature. O'Reilly finally decided that he would get into professional ball. It he could withstand the wrath of professional ball player without anger rankling in his heart surely he would be fit for the priesthood, for no person in the world has so thankless a job as the umpire. So under the name of Phillips, he applied to President Hostutler of the Kansas State league for a position on the umpiring staff. Western Kansas crowds do not hesitate to tell an umpire what they think of him when his decisions are not up to the standard. If he hears no kicks it is a sign .that he is making good. Phillips as an

umpire has been a success. The players like him and seldom object to his decisions.

(American News Service) Jonhnson's Training Camp, Reno, Nev., June 27.-With the big fight just

one week away Jack Johnson is al

ready laying plans for his future and banking on his hopes. "I will leave here the day following the fight." he says, "and go direct to New York for my vaudeville engagements. Then I am coins: to

take my automobile and cruise around

the country." "If I lose I am done with the game.

for then I will know that it is not in me to fight. If I win, however, I will continue to defend my title. As soon as I can I am going to open a business in Chicago. I may go into the Automobile business." Johnson likes the heat and yesterday did much training standing directly in the blazing, blistering sun. He also took a 6ix mile grind on the road and then took a light workout. He called for his fiddle and entertained a score of friends by. playing on a big bass viol. Jack screwed up his eyes

in a comical fashion and sawed away on the strings setting the nerves of his listeners on edge until they begged him to stop. When Johnson got up today he jumped on the scales and when the beam balanced at 210 pounds he was satisfied. He feels that in this altitude he will feel more comfortable when fighting if his weight is a little below that. He got out on the road early this morning and plowed his way through several miles of the alkali dust. He was given a rubdown and

BALLTEAMARRESTED Eaton Manager Forestalls Action of Sunday Blue Law Agitators.

GAME THEN CONTINUED

Eaton, O., June 27.For the second time the Eaton baseball team was arrested yesterday afternoon by Manager Charles A. Bennett to forestall action by a committee appointed by the Preble County Sunday School Association. Constable Chester Waggoner served the warrant immediately after the first ball had been tossed up, but the game was continued. Before Police Magistrate Joe A. Kennel later in

the afternoon a bond of $25 was given for their appearance before him on Monday afternoon. In all probability the action of Kennel in the matter will be like that of last Monday, when each member was assessed a fine of one cent and costs, which was later remitted. The Miona team, of Dayton, furnished poor opposition and the score stood 13 to 7 in favor of the Eaton nine. Hiatt, a Richmond lad, twirled an exceptionally good game for the locals. In the seventh inning Manager Bennett collided with Mills, the big right fielder, and as a result suffered a broken left collar bone.

ON LOCAL DIAMONDS

Cincinnati Muldoons, winning by the score of 12 to 1. Errors by the visitors and the hitting of the locals enabled such a score. Evans allowed Cincinnati but three hits. The Giants dropped their first game of the season at Athletic park to the Dayton Garfield club by the score of 5 to 3. The pitching was good on both sides and also several good fielding plays made. At Eldorado the Shamrocks of this city broke even in a double header. Eldorado won the first by the score of 14 to 13 but lost the second by the score of 5 to 4. Again the Y. M. I. team defeated the Light, Heat and Power team by the one-sided score of 14 to 7. The Nationals of this city lost a close game to the Hagerstown aggregation at that place by the score of 5 to 4. Boston was defeated by Williamsburg at that place by the score of 7 to 3. The Waldorf s were defeated by Winchester at that placa by the score of 16 to O.
