REVENGE ALLEGED 10 BE MOTIVE FOR . GUNSAULIA CHARGE r Dubois' Defense to Be that Gunsaulia Seeks Revenge on Dubois as a Result of a Love Affair. CUNSULIA BROUGHT FROM PENITENTIARY Denies That He Has Any Grievance Against Gunsul ia Trial Center of Interest in the County. . The defense for Earl Dubois of Million, who is charged with having burglarized the F. M. Jones and company general store at Milton on December 10, 1910, was disclosed in part on Friday morning in a statement to Judge Fox of the Wayne circuit court by attorney II. U. Johnson, counsel f6Y the defendant. While it has oeen intimated from the first that an effort would be made to prove an alibi, it is certain from the statements of Mr. Johnson that an attemnt will be made to show that Guy Gunsaulia, the self-confessed burglar of the utore, implicated Dubois to revenge himself for unrequiteteJ love. The affection which Gunsaulia bore for Mrs. Dubois, the defendant's wife, who before her marriage was a Miss Gordon of Conncrsville, is alleged by attorney Johnson to have been so great that after he had been Jilted by the woman, Gunsaulia made threats he would separate Dubois and his wife. Gunsaulia denied all this. As he did bo, Mrs. Dubois who sat behind her husband with some member of the Dubois family smiled and glanced significantly at her husband's, relatives. Brought From Prison. Gunsaulia, who was returned by a guard of the Michigan City penitentiary to the city jail, went on the stand on Thursday afternoon and reviewed the entire case on direct examination. He was turned over to attorney Johnson for cross examination Friday. After a lew Introductory questions, the f attorney begati-a serehlng- exnmina-'i-Hon as to the motive' which Gunsaulia may have had In implicating Dubois. An objection by attorney Shiveley assisting in the prosecution, caused attorney Johnson to state his purpose In asking the questions. The court ruled that the attorney could only direct the Inquiries by asking Gunsaulia whether such and such things were facta. Mr. Johnson explained that he would seek to prove that Gunsaulia called on Mtb. Dubois, before her marriage and that at her home in Connersville Gunsaulia made a proposal and was driven from the house by the woman, who weilded a broom handle. The attorney said that later Gunsaulia made a statement to the effect that if Dubois and the woman were ever married he would separate them. Also It was claimed by the attorney that Gunsaulia wrote Dubois a note in which he referred to Mrs. Dubois and her ister-in-law, Mae Dubois, in a disparaging manner. The attorney said that in April at the Pugh boarding house in wife. Soon afterward Gunsaulia went Dubois were living when Dubois received the letter, the two men had a falling out and Gunsaulia was told he ,lled in the letter about the defendant's . wife. Soon afterward Gunsulia went to to Indianapolis. The more Important points made in the explanation of the attorney were denied when the questions were put to Gunsaulia.

The promoters of the contest have spent considerable time In securing the route for the race, and have at last settled on a place where the contestants can show their speed without being hindered in any way. The course on which the managers decided to hold the championship is North Tenth street, between Main and A. The street there is wide enough so that there will be no danger of collisions and accidents and it is centrally located, a fact which means that a large crowd will be on hand to watch the races. The distance has been carefully measured, and the promoters are confident that the course is just the proper length. All the boys who expect to compete In the title races will meet at the Palladium office not later than half past twelve p. m. Saturday. This will give the judges time to enter all the contestants, and make the final arrangements for running the event in several heats. Every pushmobile owner in the city is invited to test his skill in the races. Entrants must be sure to have their machines and mechanicians, or pushers, with them when they enter at the Palladium office at 12: SO. At about 12:40, the contestants will form in line, and will parade on Naln street. At one o'clock, they will guMemble at the, corner of Tenth and

SUPREME COURT IS STOUTLY DEFENDED BY THE PRESIDENT

Defies Any Critic to Come Forward and State Any Decision that Should Really Be Condemned. BRYAN REPLIED TO IN HEATED MANNER Says He Will Stand by Railroads as Long as They Obey the Law and Remain Out of Politics. (National News Association) PECATELLO. Idaho, Oct. 6. In the most vigorous speech he has delivered on this trip the President today defied those who attacked his course with respect to corporations to come forward with facts and discredit him. The President ruled against muckraking and insisted that the time has come when men ought to get down to sober reasoning. He stoutly defended the supreme court against criticism by W. J. Bryan in the Standard Oil and Tobacco Trust cases, saying that the court has performed a distinct service to the country. He vehemently defied Bryan and others who have picked faults with the supreme court to come out in the open and particularize, rather than to indulge in generalities. The President's speech, delivered with all the fever at his command, was taken by the throng that heard it as an open challenge to critics of his administration to bring a definite bill of particulars against him by Bryan in the Commoner, the Nebraskan intimating that when the President appointed justices to the supreme court he was aware that they leaned toward the corporations. Speaking of the administration's attitude toward the railroads Mr. Taft declared that he preferred to stand by them when they maintained a course of strict obedience to the law and "kept out of politics." "They are entitled to be be con sidered, the arterial circulation of this country and we ought to protect them in their rights and save them from the attacks of demagogues or the man who would seek by the position of his victim to climb over their shoulders into popular esteem," exclaimed Mr. Taft. The President outlined the decisions of the supreme court in the Standard Oil and Tobacco Trust cases and reverting to the attack made upon the decisions, went on: "Now I challenge and have challenged one of those publicists or jurists to state to me a case that any reason able man would say ought to be condemned under the law, which, would not be condemned under the rule of construction that the supreme court has laid down. It is time to come down to facts." GEO. WESTINGHQUSE SIXTY-FIVE YEARS OLD (National News Association) PITTSBURG, Pa., Oct. 6. George Westinghouse, the celebrated inventor of the airbrake and numerous important electrical devices, received the congratulations of many friends and business associates today on the occasion of his sixty-fifth birthday anniversary. Mr. Westinghouse was born in Schoharie county, New York, in 1846, and gave evidence of his genius at the early age of fifteen by inventing a practical rotary engine. Race Will be on N. Tenth St. Main streets and the races will commence. One of the rules of the International Pushmobile Association, under which the event is being held, states that all mechanicians must be under 18 years of age, and this order will be strictly enforced. The coming contest for supremacy in the pushmobile field promises to be one of the most speedy events of its kind ever held. Richmond lads have been planning for the affair for several weeks, and many have even been training so as to be in good condition. Much interest is being evidenced in the whole city, and a large crowd is certain to be present to cheer the champion. The organization of the Richmond branch of the International Pushmobile Association will be inaugurated on Saturday. This association already has a large membership in other parts of the country, and it is hoped that lo cal boys will support the institution ine officers to be chosen are presi dent, vice-president, secretary and treasurer. In addition to these, a board or directors composed of four members, is to be selected, and an advisory board of five. Nominations for candidates to 111 these offices will start Monday, and the boys are advised to begin to think who they want to head the- organisation. All owners of pushmobiles, and all boys who are -working for them, will be eligible to become members.

AMERICAN GASBAG 0R0PSJR0M RACE Other Balloons Are Headed Toward Canada and Are Now Over Minnesota. (National News Association) WANSAS CITY, Oct. 6. Reports from the balloons that started yesterday in the international race for the James Gordon Bennett trophy, and for the Lahm cup for the long distance record, made by an American balloon last year, the American II., has already landed and reports indicate that the others are still in the air and are believed to be over Minnesota on the way over the international border. Few reports of the craft have been received here up to 10 o'clock by the officials of the Aerial club. Two of the balloons passed over Tarkie last night. One passed over lrkee. Mo., three over Savannah, Mo., and two over St. Joseph. At Tarkie voices in the basket could be heard. The aeronauts were discussing Canada, and from the fragments of the conversation heard it is believed they were considering a landing point there. The American II., landed near Emmetsburg, la., yesterday. GRIM RECORD MADE Seven Suicides in the Past Three Months. The seventh suicide in the comparatively short period of less than three months was that of Will Fetta, who early on Thursday morning killed himself by shooting himself with a revolver, while in bed at his home, 1902 East Main street, where he lived alone. Despondency over ill health was attributed as the cause and it has been noticed for several days he was suffering from mental depression. The deceased was 52 years old. For several months he has lived in this city, and since five weeks ago has liv ed alone in the very large house, which is one of the oldest in the city. Before taking up his residence here he had been employed as a machinist in Denver, Colorado, but gave up his position because of his ill health. On Thursday when his neighbors did not notice him about the place and especially working about the garden, as was his daily custom, they made an investigation, trying the different doors and windows in an effort to get in and calling his name but receiving no response. At noon the police were informed and with Patrolman Vogelsong, Superintendent I. A. Gormon, forced his way into the. house on Thursday afternoon finding the man's body lying on the bed. A bullet bole in the roof of his mouth, the bullet penetrating the brain, and the 32 calibre revolver lying at one side explained the cause of death. No note was found which shed light as to the motive, though his neighbors have no doubt it was despondency over his health. He is survived by a brother, Dan Fetta of Winchester, two sisters, Mrs. Florence Strawbridge and Mrs. H. L Ottenjehn, both of Cincinnati.

ITALIAN COLONY MDCHJNTERESTED Members Greedily Read the Latest News Concerning the War. , Among the most interested patrons of the Palladium these days are the members of the large Italian colony Those who can read English purchase the paper every evening, and they are immediately surrounded by their fel low countrymen who do not have this accomplishment. The readers translate the war news into their soft na tive tongue and the auditors follow every word with intense interest and flashing eyes. Occasionally there are interruptions a chorus of "bTavas,' and then a hush and the readers continue to give the latest "news from the front." Members of the Italian colony are ready to return to the Fatherland whenever a call comes, but as long as the Italian government only has the Turks to deal with the local expatriates do not anticipate such a call. They tell you contemptiously that the Italian army and navy is already large enough to sack Constantinople and drive tb,e Turks into Arabia, "where they should be." Did you know, Mr. Reader, that there is quite a good sized colony of natives of the pugnacious Balkan states in Richmond and other parts of the county? Well, there is. They are mostly employed by the Pennsylvania railroad. They are Albanians (a Christian province of European Turkey), Servians, Bulgarians and a few Roumanians. So far as is known there are no Montenegrians, which country is the smallest kingdom in the world, but so hardy and warlike are its people that they have maintained their , independence for years. This little local Balkan colony is as excited over the Italian-Turkish war as are the members of the Italian colonp. The common enemy of the Bal kan states is Turkey. They hate a Turk as a cat loathes a dog, and the European powers are in a tremble for fear the Balkans will go on the warpath and break in Turkey's back door and overrun the Sultain's domain. Members of the local Balkan colony hope this will happen, and they fiercely tell you that if such a thing comes to pass nothing could hold them in this country. MEMBERSHIP GAIN MADE BYY.M. C. A. Twenty-nine new members were added to the roll of the local Y. M. C. A. during the month of September just past. With this large addition, the membership in the association has passed the six hundred mark for the second time in its existence, and has shown well that it is past the temporary slump that always comes to .such an organization the first years of itf existence. The boy's membership still tips the list of the several departments, but the seniors made the biggest gain last month, and have almost caught up with the boys. From the present outlook, the membership will break all past records before the month of October is far adranced. ' The detailed list by departments now is: Seniors 223, increase over September, 13; sustaining members, W, no increase; limited 113, increase, 6; boys, 229, increase, 10. The total membership is now 61S, and the total ItncrcMQ for the month ia. 23. -
