TRIBUTE PAID TO BELOVED PRELATE Join to Pay Honor to Cardinal Gibbons. (National News Association) BALTIMORE, Oct. 16. From every corner of the United States there is gathered here today archbishops, dignitaries of the Catholic church and distinguished churchmen and laymen of every denomination, to take part in the culmination of the golden jubilee of James, Cardinal Gibbons, and the silver jubilee of His Eminence's elevation to the cardinalate. On June 9, this year, the cardinal was given a reception at which President Taft, Vice President Sherman and Former President Roosevelt, in their addresses, paid high tribute to the man who is one of the most revered civilians of this country. The ladder of good wishes even reached to the Pontiflcial throne. The prince of the Roman Catholic church today was honored by protestant, Jew and Catholic, and in fact by men professing no creed. It was the love of the man, his dignity, his diplomacy, his philanthropy and his good will toward all mankind that drew 35,000 persons into a procession that took two hours to pass a given point. Jew and Gentile marched side by side. One of the most conspicuous features of the parade was the presence in line of more than 1,000 women, representing various churches. . Societies marched with almost military precision, never faltering in the long march.

DIVORCE COURT TO ALTER SHORT STEP Time in Marrying Again After Her Divorce. Within a few hours after appearing on the stand in the Wayne circuit court and alleging the cruel wrongs of George Matheus, which won for her a decree of separation. Anna Eva Matheus, accompanied by Frank Krleg of Cincinnati appeared at the mar riage license window in the office of Country clerk George Matthews and received a license to wed. She wore a shawl about her head and at frequent intervals in her testimony tears came to her eyes as she related the wrongs of her second husband George Matheus. Her first husband died several years ago. She had the sympathy of the court attaches and they declared they thought she deserved a divorce if any woman ever did. However, later, in the clerk's office, the sombre, careworn look of the woman was gone, replaced with a smile of a bride. She was showily dressed and anyone who had seen her as she was attired in the court hardly recognized her when she appeared at the court house .on the second visit of the day. She gave her age as 36 and occupation that of housekeeper. Frank Krieg, the groom, is a farmer, living near Cincinnati. The discarded husband, George Matheus, was arrested several weeks ago on a serious charge, but afterwards released on the plea of his wife. She subsequently withdrew her divorce petition which she had filed. The second divorce proceedings, were instituted a few weeks ago. IIEFF MDCHJLEASED With Work at High School First Month. The most successful opening in the history of the school is the opinion of Isaac E. Neff, principal of the local high school, after examining the reports of the several teachers for the first month of school, which ended last Friday afternoon. Little complaint has been registered regarding the quality of work done by the students, and the pupils, as a whi!e, have been regular in both attendance and preparation of their lessons. The report shows an enrollment in the school of 546, a noticeable increase over last year. The per cent of attendance every day during the month was 98.6 per cent, which breaks all records in Richmond schools, and almost equals the best' in the state. There has been but little, sickness so far, and truancies and other avoidable absences are about at a minimum. Principal Neff is elated over the showing made in the class rooms this fall. The pupils are getting down to work, and hardly any complaint of poor preparation of lessons has been noted.

STIffi DEBATE THE UELSOfl INCIDENT To Defcide if Admission of Talesmen Is Grounds ; for His Excuse. (Katlonal News Association) L08 ANdELES, Oct. 16. When the fourth' day's session of the McNamara trial opened today interest still centered io vthe legal fight that has been waged-btver the fitness of Talesman Z. T. Nelson to occupy a place in the jury box. After a day and a half of argument over a question that even the attorney1 for the defense and for the state thought at first would be brief and. unimportant, the light had not been completed and further argument over the qualifications of jurors as set forth in the criminal code of California, the constitutional of the state and of the.lJ. S. still waited to greet the eara at Judge Walter Bordwell. The twelve men selected temporarily to fill the jury box were absent. Judge Bordwell had ordered them kept in their' quarters on the floor above the cdurt room while the arguments were in'-progress. Attorney Joseph Scott, of counsel for James B. McNamara on trial for the murder of Charles Haggerty, one of the 'nineteen men killed in the Los Angefts-Times building was destroyed hy.' a euloelon,.. was ready to carry oeen to una or ecott. JUDGE TAKES NOTES. Judge Bordwell, who listened with the utmost care to the argument and who has taken copious notes, has spent much of the time since Saturday's adjournment in - going over the contentions of the attorneys. It was believed by lawyers on both sides that he had spent so much time on the question that he would be able to hand down his ruling soon after Scott had finished. That the argument has assumed a vital importance to the trial and that Judge Bordwell's opinion will decide whether the jury can be selected with comparative ease, or whether it may be made almost an impossibility was admitted both by the state and the defense. The state, which has argued the right of Nelson to serve In spite df the fact that he has expressed a belief that the building was destroyed by an intentional explosion of dynamite has not concealed the fact that should the ruling be in their favor they might be caught in their own trap. Both sides, it is known, have carefully investigated the record of the veniremen now awaiting examination and it is asserted that some of these men have definite opinions which would favor the defense. Should the ruling allow Nelson to serve, it would also allow some of the men who leau in the other direction to take their places in the jury box. The result would not be the speedy exhaustion of the peremptory challenges of both sides and would allow the final completion of the jury in much shorter time than is contemplated by either side. To Be Stubborn Fight. Attorneys for both sides and Judge Bordwell himself, are anxious that the case be pushed ahead with all possible speed as the clash over the Nelson incident has demonstrated that every point is to be fought out with a stubborness and persistency almost unheard of in legal proceed ure. Attorneys for the prosecution today asserted that Mrs. Ortie McManigal's suit for divorce begun in Chicago, would have no bearing on the case. It is known, however, that they had arranged to have a copy of the complaint forwarded to them at once in order that they might ascertain whether any of the cruelty charges referred to matters connected with the confession McManigal has made. That the suit means that Mrs. McManigal will not in any case be a witness for the state and that this is the final victory of the battle fought by attorneys for McNamara to keep her from aiding the prosecution is admitted by counsel for the defense. CASE DISMISSED The affidavit filed by Mary Campbell against Ralph Hilbert, charging bastardy, was dismissed this morning. Hilbert was arrested early yesterday morning by Patrolmen Edwards, Hirschfleld and Cully.

HOUSE IS ROBBED AND THEN BURNED BY BOLD THIEVES Centerville Was the Scene of a Daring Crime Early Sunday Morning No Clues Are Obtained. STINSON HOME WAS COMPLETELY GUTTED Members of the Family Were Visiting in Liberty and Had Left Rear Door of the House Unlocked. (Palladium Special) CENTERVILLE, lnd.. Oct. 16. Af ter ransacking tne house of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Stinson, East Main street, robbers fired the structure and it was burned to a shell early on Sunday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Stinson and their child were visiting in Liberty, and as is the general custom here, had failed to lock their back door, which afforded an entrance for the burglars. The affair has been reported to the county authorities and Richmond police, but so far as is known the fire destroyed whatever clues the incendiaries may have left. The briskly burning blaze was discovered about 2 o'clock in the morning by neighbors who were awakened by the crackling of the flames. The entire roof and interior were aflame when the fire alarm call was sounded and great apprehension for the Stinsons was manifested by the neighbors, as few knew the members of the family were not at home. Ladders were quickly brought to the scene and several entered the burning bed room to rescue the family. Mr. and Mrs. Stinson did not learn of the robbery of their home and its subsequent firing until late Sunday morning. On Saturday morning, the Stinsons went to Liberty to visit Mrs. Stinson's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dale. The house was left in order and there were no fires left in the stoves or grates. No Clues Obtained. No one was seen loitering about the residence and the suspicion of the neighbors and authorities, so far as is known, is not direct at any one living secured the several valuables'. Twenty dollars which Mr. Stinson had left in his trousers' pockets in the bed room, where the fire was the briskest when discovered is missing. The extent of the robbery, further than this is not known. In the belief of some the incendiary was intentional and for the purpose of covering up evidence of the robbery. Others think the burglars in going from room to room and ransacking about the house dropped a lighted match either in the northwest bed room or on the stairs leading to the sleeping apartment. Just the shell of the house Is left standing. The structure is an old brick house with walls fifteen or eighteen inches thick. 'it was a small house, of about six rooms. As the flames had progressed to the extent that it was practically impossible to put them out, the neighbors exerted their effort Ta removing furniture from the two down stairs front rooms, while the volunteer firemen played a stream of water, pumped by a fire engine, and the bucket brigade worked over time in dumping water on the blazing structure. The loss possibly will be $1,500 partially covered by insurance. PROGRESSIVES MEET Conference Is Being Held in Chicago Today. (National News Association) CHICAGO, 111., Oct. 16. The Progressive Republican conference in this city promises to be the big event of the week in the world of politics. Already a number of the progressive leaders have arrived in town and by tomorrow morning it is expected that there will be a great showing of Republicans from all sections ready to join in the movement to defeat President Taft for renomination. A number of governors, senators and representatives are scheduled to participate. The ostensible purpose of the conference is to guage the extent of the progressive movement and to lay plans for the future of the organization, but as virtually all of the active spirits in the round-up are intimate friends and supporters of La Follette it is surmised that the real object of the gathering is to give an impetus for the boom of the Wisconsin senator for the Republican Presidential nomination. RED MEN HERE GO TO STATE MEETING. The Richmond delegation of Red Men to attend the state councils of the body at Indianapolis this week went to the state capital on Monday morning. There were twelve delegates. The Richmond lodges are taking much interest in some of the matters which will be before the state organization.

A GROUP OF STARS

IN WORLD'S SERIES A group of Giants who will partici pate in the World's Championship ser ies with the Athletics. Reading from top to bottom are, Devore, left field; Wilson, catcher; Wiltse, pitcher; Mey ers, catcher; Merkle, first base, and Hartley, catcher. World's Series Is Sole Topic of Conversation. If the interest shown by hundreds of local baseball fans in the world's championship series between the New York Nationals and the Philadelphia Americans can be taken as a criterion the fans of New York and Philadelphia must be raving maniacs. Saturday hundreds surrounded the tickers in this city, gazed at the Palladium score board and kept the telephones of this office hot with inquiries on the latest results of the first game, and the Palladium baseball edition, with a full account of the game, on the streets twenty minutes after the last play in the ninth inning, sold like hot cakes. The quick service given by the Palladium Saturday, and which will be continued until the series is concluded, was made possible by the fact that this paper receives its report on a wire that leads directly into Shibe park at Philadelphia and the Polo grounds in New York. Accounts of the game are wired play by play. If you doubt the statement made that hundreds of Richmond people are intensely interested in the World's se ries, harken to this frank confession of a sedate business man, made to a Palladium reporter: "I favored New York in the first game but I was afraid to bet on the Giants until the day before the game. That day was Friday the Thirteenth. On my way to work a black cat followed me and sat in front of the store. A superstitious clerk chased the cat but it always came back. At noon I went home and discovered the new hired girl had red hair and was cross-eyed Can you beat such a combination of hoodoes? When I went down town in the afternoon I decided I had all the luck necessary, and I bet $10 on the Giants, and the Giants won the next day. Say, who do you think will pitch for the AthleUcs today?' . CHOATE CELEBRATES Diplomat and Wife Have a Golden Wedding. (National News Association) LENOX, Mass., Oct. 16. Joseph H. Choate. the former ambassador to Great Britain and Mrs. Choate today celebrated their golden wedding anniversary at Naumkeag, their country place in the Berkshires, surrounded by a large party of their relatives and friends from New York and other cities.

STATE HEEDS MONEY

Calls on County for Prompt j Settlement. 1

Demand has been made on County ' Treasurer Albert Albertson by Auditor - of State, W. H. O'Brien, to pay into the state treasury twenty-five per cent of all the amount of taxes collected for state funds, which is on band' In ' the county treasury on October 25. The settlement ordinarily is not due until ifi November, but owing to the depleted finances of the state ' it is necessary that all counties make: settlement earlier than ordinarily. The taxes which are being collected, on the second Installment, and which are now due, are being paid very slqwly, according to Treasurer Albertson. He believes that unless the tax, payers get busy soon the rush at the end of the season, which is up on November C. will be the greatest in years. Owing to the new system of bookkeeping, installed by order of the state board of accounts, requiring more time for each tax payment, he urges that the taxpayers call at the office and settle as quickly as possible. 'By doing so delay will be avoided. Toe first large tax settlement made by a corporation was that of the Richmond City Water Works company. Its fall assessment amounted to ,z , 166.34.
