COUIICIL OPPOSED : TO THE PURCHASE OF ANY MACHINES

It Is Believed that Late Today the Council Will Vote to Strike Appropriation Off Budget. (Continued from Pago One.) due before the first of the year $3,225 In Interest. Will Reduce Balance. This will reduce the present balance to less than $5,000. But the fall Installment of taxes will bring in ap- ' proximately $8,000 and the first of next year will find the bond fund with about $13,000. Approximately $17,000 will have to be raised by taxation therefore next year. The present levy 'la 7 cents. This year the new appraisement of real estate has raised the total valuation of the county to $34,'000,000. Making allowance for a liberal percentage of delinquencies and any possible errors in the abstract as compiled, the basis on which the rate 'can with safety be made is $33,500,000. A levy of 6 cents will produce ! $21,000 for the bond fund and leave balance for the year following. This kla a net decrease of 1 cent from the ' present year's bond levy. I Taking up the county fund there Wnust be eliminated from the estimate it $180,000 the following: $30,200 for nds and Interest payment which is taken care ot by the special bond levy; $8,500 for care of the township r. which sum is paid back to the county by the special levy in each .township, and $21,000 for voting mawhines. The latter item is included in the budget of the commissioners. In event the council votes against the purchase of the machines the item cannot be considered at all. In the ievent council votes in favor of their purchase It is certain that no payments thereon will be made during the year 1912. The net amount, therefore, which must be provided for during next year for strictly county purposes will be $120,000 to which must be added any expenditure to be made idurlng next year which have not been Anticipated in the estimates. Based ton former year's record such emerIgency appropriations will not go beyond $25,000, thus giving a total of j$145,800 for the coming fiscal year. fTbere must be taken into account the fact that there will be a comfortable balance in the county fund on Janluary 1, next and a conservative estimate Is $50,000. This reduces the amount to be raised by taxation to $95,000. Taking the valuation of $33,'600,000 a levy ot 30 cents will prove taufflcient. The state's levy carries Iwith It a fractional rate of 17-20 of a cent and In order that the aggregate .state and county rates may be free from such fraction the county provides the missing fraction of 3-20 of a cent to make up the whole. A rate for county purposes of 30 3-20 cents would be a net reduction of 4 cents as compared with the present rate. Will Increase Levy. The board of county commissioners Hxes the levy for free gravel roads and the council has nothing to conalder there. The commissioners have announced their determination to in- ' crease this levy from 3 cents to 5 in order that beginning with next year more attention can be given to the turnpikes of the county. Even with this Increase, however, the council by reducing the levy on the bond fund 1 cent and on the county levy 4 cents, will And a net saving ot 3 cents on the levy as compared with this year. This means a saving of $10,000 to the taxpayers. The county is under moral obligation to build a bridge over the .Whitewater river as promised several years ago when the bridge fund is sufficient and another year with the present .rate ot 1 cent should bring the total within striking distance of realisation. One year with an Increased rate for this purpose would enable the county to build the structure long ago promised without crippling the treasury a particle. At to the bonded debt of the county there are now outstanding $75,000 of court house bonds, the last coming due . December 1, 1913. In addition there are $60,000 refunding bonds due In series ot $20,000 annually beginning with 1914. The court house bonds bear interest at the rate of 5 per cent per annum; refunding bonds 4 per cent. Very respectfully, DEMAS S. COE, , Auditor Wayne County. SUNDAY SCHOOL IS AFTER NEW MEMBERS

The campaign for new members which the Sunday School of the First Methodist Episcopal rhurch has just Inaugurated la already showing signs of being successful. Work in the contest was somewhat hindered by the v fact that the Chautauqua attracted a large part of the members of the school away from church on the last two Sundays, but even with this nandicap the work progressed. Last Sunday one girl on the team captained by J. E. Perry scored a total of eight points without help. So far Mr. Perry's side is quite a little in advance of Its rival. The other team, headed by Mr. Beckman, has a good chance of having to pay the loser's penalty of furnishing an entertainment for the entire school. The Sunday School Board ot the First M. E. church will meet next Thursday evening to complete their plans for a rally day.

HACK" METTLED BY THE SPORT CRITIC'S Wants Another Match with Gotch, Who Is Willing To Post $5,000. CHICAGO, Sept. 5. Nettled by the biting criticisms of the sporting writ ers, George Hackenschmidt offered to post $5,000 for a return match with Frank Gotch as soon as his knee heals. The champion signified his willingness. WAS AN IGNOMINIOUS DEFEAT. (National News Association) CHICAGO, Sept. 5. With George Hackenschmidt, one-time "Russian Lion" on the verge of a nervous breakdown, as a result of his overwhelming defeat Frank Gotch, champion wrestler of the world, the victor, surrounded by his family, today celebrated the victory and deplored the foresightedness which led him to demand a fixed price for his work. As a result of this, Gotch collected only $21,000, while Hack's share of the balance of the net receipts amounted to $43,437. Of this, however, the Russian got only $13,500, as he had sold his interest to Jack Curley, his manager, for that amount. Nevertheless, the twenty minutes in the ring made big money for both men. For his work Gotch dreg just $1,050 a minute while he was in the ring and Hack drew $670 a minute. Wrestling experts today agreed that Hackenschmidt was a "bloomer" in the worst sense of the word. He developed a yellow ".streak about four feet wide all the way down, and according to many writers, was beaten the imnute he entered the ring. The quick finish of the falls was a surprise, however, as the Russian was expected to stay an hour or more at the least. The fact that he had it on Gotch in weight and strength only added ignominy to his defeat. William Muldoon. the New York sporting authority, declared that Hack lacked courage and the concensus of opinion was that Hack was about as vicious as a tame white rabbit. Ed. W. Smith, sporting editor of the Chicago Evening American, who refereed the match, today declared that Gotch has demonstrated that he is the greatest living wrestler and that should he wish to continue in the game it will take twenty years to defeat him. Meantime the champion and his family are staying at the Morrison hotel preparatory to returning to Humboldt, Iowa. The hotel was besieged with well wishers for the champion. A delegation of Humboldt fans crowded the lobby and cheered loudly every time the champion's name was mentioned. As for Hack, he pleaded today that he had gone into the ring with an injured ankle and that this was the reason for his easy defeat. The proudest and happiest woman in Chicago today is Mrs. Gotch, the champion's bride. She sat near the

A Midsummer's Day

ringside and urged her huge husband on to victory. Hack is down and out as a.wrestler and likely never will be matched in this country again, acording to the promoters. The big winner of the day was Jack Curley, Hack's manager, who cleaned up $29,973 from his purchase of Hack's end of the purse. NO ASSIGNMENT OF TEACHERS IS MADE Teachers who have been engaged for the coming year in the Richmond public schools, will not be assigned to their regular posts until some time next week, according to a statement made this morning by Superintendent Mott of the school board. Mr. Mott says that It is hardly worth while to try to give out definite positions to the instructors until just before the opening of the school year, as several unlooked for resignations ,are always apt to be handed in. Mr. Mott is pleased with the manner in which affairs at the school headquarters are running. The staff of teachers remains intact, and all the instructors say they are ready to put in a good year's work. Fifteen men are working hard getting the buildings in shape for the opening on the eighteenth of this month. Mr. Mott purposely postponed the work of giving the edifices their final cleaning as long as he could. In this way the buildings will not have time to accumulate dust and dirt before the children move in. CONRAD SHOWN IN MOVING PICTURES V Thn Vnnvifur nirtnrpa talipn at thf Pittsburg national A. A. U. track and field meet held on June 30 and July 1, which are being shown in all the theaters and moving picture shows throughout the country, show distinctly Capt. Conrad, the Earlham star sprinter. Conrad ran for the Chicago Athletic Club. He broke the national junior broad jump record at a distance of 22 feet, 10 inches. He won nis heat in the 100-yard dash and also annexed the semi-finals, but was nosed out by a few inches in the finals. The pictures show Conrad in both the broad jump and in the heat of the 100, which he won. The pictures are so distinct that they not only show the features of the sprinter as he crosses the tape, but reproduce all his characteristic motions, and particularly the toss of the head which he always uses when breasting the tape. TO MEET TONIGHT The meeting of the board of directors of the Commercial club which was regularly scheduled for last night, will occur this evening in the rooms of the club in the Masonic Temple. The postponement of the session was thought advisable on account of yesterday being a holiday. Reports from all the standing committees of the organization will be the principal part of the evening's work, and discussion of the regular business of the club will complete the program.

Dream

v ON THEJPEEO LAWS Were Given Today as He Sat as Judge Over the Municipal Court. If Mayor W. W. Zimmerman could have his way regarding the speed at which motor vehicles should be allow ed to travel, the Indiana laws would be entirely different from what they now are, according to a statement he made today while presiding in the city court, and in passing sentence on Richard Simpson and Louis Mans field, testers for the Westcott Motor Car company who were charged with "burning up" North Tenth and North E streets on Monday. Instead of a law which provides that a driver of a motor vehicle can not go more rapidly than so many miles an hour, the mayor said that he would make the rate of speed discertlonary with the owner of the machine. But so the public might be safeguarded every onwer of a motor vehicle would have to give a bond of at least $10,000 which would be forfeited or paid out for damages in case the owner or his driver was reckless and the safety of the public was in actual danger. The mayor believes that with such a statute there would not be very many cases where the automobillst or motorcyclist would forfeit his bond, or pay damages, simply because a bond of such an amount would lead the drivers to drive with utmost caution. Illustrating his point he said that Dr. David Dennis of Earlham college when he first purchased a machine crept along the streets very cautiously, but that now he has the speed mania, because Dr. Zimmerman declared he had seen him breaking the speed laws. Yet he said the public was not endangered because Dr. Dennis still drives with the utmost caution and in respect for the public safety. Speaking directly to the testers he declared that if they , did not care to respect the laws, that the city would pass an ordinance which prihibit all of their kind from using the city streets. Then, he said they would have to test their cars in the country or else get a course of their own. Complaints have been made to him by the various factory managements and particularly by the officials of the Westcott Motor Car company, he said, that the police were "laying for" their testers. Mayor Zimmerman denied this, declaring the police were only doing their duty. He said, however, that the Westcott test ers seemed to drive a little bit faster than the testers of the other auto companies. Because the two testers who were before him were not tae only ones who had violated the speed law Mon day, Mayor Zimmerman suspended sentence on Simpson and Mansfield. They were promised a heavy fine and possibly jail sentence if ever before him again. They were told to warn the other testers of the promise of the court, as it applies to the others as well as them, Mayor Zimmerman de clared. Pearls cost three times as much as

STARRS Will GAME

AT CO II II E RSVILLE Hit Hard at Opportune Times. and Wilcoxen Held the Enemy at Bay. i (Palladium Special) CONNERSVILLE, Ind Sept. 5. Before a small crowd here yesterday Richmond played an exceptionally strong game, excepting in the eighth inning, when the loads scored twice, but won by the score of 3 to 2. Wilcoxen, who has occupied tho box ft great deal of the time this season, pitched an exceptional game for the visitors and allowed but two hits, the runs being scored on him being unearned and due to a Richmond blowup which for a time looked as though, it would be "all day" for the visitors. The lads from the Panic Proof town did not have it easy. Kerlin. the Cambridge City slabman, pitched good ball, though hit hard at times, and allowed only one run in each ot three Innings. The batting ot Cor bett, though his fielding was erratic, two grandstand catches by Huffer and the fielding of Martin featured the Quaker lads' play, while the fine work of Pfeister at first for the locals had a lustre about It which likewise pleased. The scoring started in the third, when Martin tripled and scored on Rheinhart's muff of Feigert's return to third. In the fourth Boll singled and came over on Corbett's three sacker. At the opening of the eighth Chance singled, was safe on an attempted steal, as Stem dropped the ball, was sacrificed to third by Boll and scored on Corbett's third hit, a single. The locals' half of the eighth was a weird exhibition so far as the visitors were concerned. Berte tapped to Me Grew, who erred, the bounder going to Corbett who duplicated the error by throwing over Boll's head. With Berte on second, Kerlitl hit to Corbett who fumbled, Berte taking third. Dan's single scored Berte. The sec-; ond run came when Kerlin' scored on Rheinhart's out, Wilcoxen to Boll. Score and summary:

The city of Gloucester, in England, annually presents the kiag with a pie. : Almost from time Immemorial Glouces- f ter until the year 1834 followed the y custom of expressing lt loyalty to the throne by sending to the sovereign a t lamprey pie. In 1834 the custom was , suspended, but It was revived in 1803 and has since continued. It was felt that the year of the diamond Jubilee required some special ef- ; fort, and therefore the 1897 pie. which was in May dispatched to Balmoral ' upon a gold dish, was of a more than usually elaborate character. This pie " weighed twenty pounds and was ' adorned with truffles, fine prawns on gold skewers and aspic Jelly. On the top was a representation of the royal crown and cushion, with a scepter to which were attached streamers of royal blue, and at the base were four golden ' lions. ' By the survival of an ancient custom the town of Yarmouth is bound to furnish to the sheriffs of Norwich annually a hundred herrings baked in twenty-four pies, which are then sent 4 to the lord of the maaor of East Clare- ; ton, who conveys them to the king.
