MANY NATIVES WERE KILLED BY REBELS Homes and Shops Were Looted and Then Fired by the Drunken Soldiers and the Fierce Bandits. National News Association) TIEN TSIN, Nov. 21. Foreign refugees arriving in Tien Tsin today from Shen-el province told terrible stories of slaughter inflicted by revolutionary soldiers and bandits throughout the province after the fall of Singanfu, the principal city. They corroborated the stories of the He v. Mr. Sandberg and the Rev. Mr. Erickson, two Swedish missionaries who preceeded them from the scene of massacre. Not only were foreign missionaries killed, but Christianized Chinese children of tender years fell before the wrath of the rebel soldiers. Mrs. 11. Beckman, wife of a missionary of the Scandanavian-China alliance mission, and five children in her school were slain. Englishman Slain. Miss J. Beckingsdale, of the English Baptist mission, who conducted a school, was put to death after ten of her little charges had been murdered before her eyes. The rebel soldiers, drunk with blood and inflamed to frenzy against all foreigners, slaughtered right and left, deaf to all pleas for mercy. Thousands of Manchus fell in the orgy of death. Homes and shops were looted and then set afire. Cruel tortures were Inflicted upon Manchu men and women before the ywere beheaded. The rebel officers made no attempt to preserve order. Robber bands which entered the city plundered, burned and killed at will. Plans were made for protection for the mission and seminary but the revolutionary chiefs refused to carry them out. The mission and its school were organized in 1906. It had thirty-five students when the town was sacked. FIRE GUTS CITY. LONDON, Nov. 21 All of the Chinese city of Tai-Ngan in Shan-Tung province has been destroyed by fire except the mission, according to a Shanghai cablegram received today by the Buptlst missionary society. It is stated that all the foreign missionaries were safe. It further added that communication between Shangha and, Singanfu, capital of Shen-si province had been cut off and the fate of the foreigners could not be learned in Shanghai. Tai-Ngan lies at the base of TaiShan, a mountain of 5,000 feet altitude which is considered sacred by the Chinese who make pilgrimages to its ahrine in great numbers. Tai-Ngan has a population of 6,000 but due to the numerous pilgrimages, this varies. JURYMAN SMASHES AGEDCOURT RULE Albert Oler Blissfully Smokes Cigar as He Hears the Evidence. "Where Ignorance Is bliss 'tis folly to be wise." Unaware that smoking in court is contempt, Albert Oler, a retired farmer living on South Ninth street, Tuesday morning calmly smoked a cigar while seated In the jury box in the circuit court and established a precedent. He was not rebuked for his vlolaUon of court etiquette. It was just a little thing, but it promises to play its part at times. Smoking would have quieted the nerves of many a juror Monday if he bad dared to do so, but all the jurors except Oler, knew that smoking was against the rules and to do so was just the same as inviting a caustic "call down" from the court, and the probability of a fine being imposed for contempt When Albert Oler with the other eleven jurors deliberating in the case of the state against William Casey of Pittsburg charged with having given Intoxicating liquors to Ernest Weber. 17, resulting in Weber's death, retired for a five minute recess Tuesday morn lag Mr. Oler applied a torch to a "fivecenter." The jury was called back to the box and Oler carried his cigar along with him. He took an easy position in his revolving chair in the jury box, crossed his feet and hung them over the railing, and for the re- ( mainder of the morning filled the room ' with smoke and calmly listened to the testimony.

GA U

TAR PARTY RESULT OF JEALOUS WOMEN

Trial of Young Woman's Assailants May Be Very Sensational One. (National News Association) LINCOLN CENTER, Kan.. Nov. 21. If a half a dozen or more of the most prominent citizens of Shady Bend go to prison for tarring Miss Mary Chamberlain, the beautiful young school teacher, the wives, sisters and sweethearts of these men must assume the blame. While it is generally known that the plot to drive Miss Chamberlain out of Shady Bend waB conceived by a number of women of the village, and this has been hinted at in the evidence, the defendants are making desperate efforts to keep the names of the women plotters out of the trial. The four men who have already confessed to being members of the "tar party," did so, it is now declared, rather than have their wives names dragged into the scandalous affair. One of the wives of a confessed member of the "tar party," over whose head hangs a prison sentence, has threatened to tell her part in the conspiracy, and if she does bo the trial may be filled with many new sensations. Miss Chamberlain came to Shady Bend to clerk in a store after the school at Beverly, where she was teaching, had closed. Her appearance as clerk at the store of L. V. Green immediately caused a noticeable increase in the number of male customers. One of these customers, a married man, was at the store so much that his wife became jealous. She quickly aroused the jealousy of other married men and at a "mothers' meeting" a few days later the plan to have the pretty school teacher tarred and feathered was conceived. Ed Ricord, village barber, and the decoy, who led Miss Chamberlain to the tar party, resumed the stand this morning. He gave graphic details of how the men covered Miss Chamberlain's lower limbs with tar. Edward Ricord, the barber who decoyed Mary Chamberlain to the scene of the "tarring" testified today on cross examination he did not know the girl was to be tarred, having been told that the "gang merely wished to play a joke on her." This statement caused a sensation in court. Ricord alco claimed he had been threatened by the sheriff if he gave certain testimony. BEATTIE PRAYINGr HIS SNEERS GONE With Haggard Face Young Murderer Waits for Day of Execution. (Nationul News Association) RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 21. Henry Clay Beattie, Jr.. the young wife murderer, who will die in the electric chair, Friday, unless unexpected intervention comes, has at last broken through the stoic veil of his indifference, and is seeking the consolation of religion. Young Beattie, who has been pictured since his arrest as a man who would go to his death with a sneer on his lips, now prays daily, not once but several times, in the solitude of his cell in murderer's row, according to the Presbyterian minister. The Rev. Mr. Dennison visited Beattie in his cell today as he has done daily for a week or more. "The young man has given himself up to prayer," said the clergyman to those who questioned Beattie's sincerity. "The boy prays many times daily. It is not right to picture him as indifferent to his fate. What has passed between us is sacred." Beattie's face has grown haggard. He is no longer the dandy who sat in the prisoner's dock beside Judge Watson when he was on trial for his life. But two more days of life lie before the young Virginian. Reports have become current that Beattie has confided to the Rev. Dr. Dennison, not in order to gain the respite promised by Gov. Mann, but to clear his conscience. The clergyman refuses to answer question on this subject, reiterating his relations with Beattie are those of spiritual advisor and sacred confessor. MANY CONVERTS BY REVIVAL MEETINGS The revival meetings now being conducted by the First Christian church will continue throughout the week. Sunday was a great day, there being eight additions. Monday night there were two more, making twentysix in all. Evangelist Brown preached last night on Rahab's faith, although he chose to call his subject, "Saved by a String." The Richard Family Quartet furnished the special music. Tuesday night Mr. Brown will employ the subject, "The Man Who Came to Himself," and will be a discussion of the normal and abnormal man. JOHNSON ESTATE The estate of the late William H. Johnson who died on November 14, has been filed for probate. Mrs. Josie Johnson being given papers of administration. The personal property of the decedent was of the value of f 400.

CHARGES OF GRAFT STIRS COUflCILMEN AT THEIR MEETING

Some Busy Writer, Whose Identity He Keeps Well Concealed, Sends Out a Deluge of His Charges. MAYOR WAS ALLEGED TO USE CITY CORN Committee to Investigate Hears Testimony and Is Then Discharged - Complaint by Chief Miller. Grafting by the city officials is implied in letters and postcards which have been received by various city officials during the past few days, and which were read in council meeting last evening. A committee, composed of Councilmen Bartel, King and Kauffman, was appointed to investigate the charges, but after considerable argument, and the testimony of the mayor, under, oath, that he was not guilty of buying 100 bushels of corn raised on the city ground at Glen Miller park at eight cents less than the market price, the committee was officially discharged. One of the numerous communications was receive by Councilman Bartel. This was the one which caused the biggest "stir" in council. It follows: Charges of "Corn Graft." "On last Monday at the board of works meeting the board sold to Mayor Zimmerman 100 bushels of corn for fifty cents a bushel, or forty-three cents if he would husk it himself. Now 1 think you ought to get the market price for it, which is fifty-eight cents on market, and the fire department has to have corn to feed ten or twelve horses. No doubt you think this ought to be looked after and I think you ought to look after that $100 for the art association before you let it go. I understand it is a private exhibition and is only rented to the art association. Hoping you will give this a little attention, I am, Yours truly, (Signed) B. C. Little." Baltz Bescher, city clerk also took the oath to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Bescher testified before council that he did not know whether Supt. Hollern sold any corn to the mayor or whether the mayor purchased any corn from the superintendent of parks. He said that he heard the conversation between the two at the board meeting Monday when Mayor Zimmerman said in a joking way that he would like to purchase some corn. As for the appropriation for the art association council decided to pass the ordinance. Mayor Zimmerman read a post card which he received, and which was unsigned. The writer said that the firemen did not need a raise in salary and that it would not be doing right to give it to them. Other city officials were "rapped" by the writer. Before the regular routine of council was taken up Fire Chief Miller, in a talk to the council, declared that there should be an ordinance passed to prohibit persons from standing in the rear of the auditoriums of five-cent theaters. He said that it is very dangerous, for in the event of a fire, persons conld not get out of the theater quickly. He says that the managements of the local five-cent theaters allow persons to crowd into the rear of the theater instead of forcing them to wait until the show is over and the theater emptied. To be Investigated. City Attorney Gardner will look into this matter and if there is no state law providing a remedy a city ordinance will be drafted. A resolution presented by Councilman Weishaupt, urging the Terre Haqfe, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction company to extend its line from Milton to Connersville was unanimously adopted by the council. The resolution read as follows: "To the T. H. I. & E. Traction Company Ten miles of interurban line between Milton and Connersville would give better shipping facilities and conveniences of travel for the people of Richmond. The city council urges you to consider th-a advisability of constructing such a line." Ordinances were passed for the transfer of $1,000 from the account of pay roll of street department to the account of crushed stone; $300 from the account of pay roll street department to the account of miscellaneous expenses; $3,000 from the account of painting and repairing bridges to the account of parks, streets and alleys; $200 from the account of stokers to the account of meters for the Municipal light plant; and $125 from the account of stokers to the account of transformers, for the city light plant. Workmen Ask Viaduct. Councilman Von Pein reported that the employes of the Starr Piano factory were desirous of obtaining a viaduct under the C. & O. railroad tracks at South First and B streets. He related an incident which occurred last week in his argument for the construction of the viaduct. He said that a freight train was "stalled" and that the employes of the factory were ob(Continued on Pace Six)

CONTRACT IS LET TO MAKEJURVEYS Indianapolis Concern Engaged by the R. & E. I. Traction Company. An order to start the survey for the new Richmond and Eastern Indiana traction company within the next ten days was given by Charles W. Jordan and Judge Comstock Monday afternoon at Indianapolis, to the firm of Jeup and Moore, the engineering concern that has just been awarded the contract for the preliminary work on the proposed line. Messrs. Jordan and Comstock went to the state capital Monday after being delegated at the last meeting of the directors of the R. & E. I., as a committee to consider some changes in the proposition offered by the engineers, and as a consequence of the day spent discussing the situation with them, a contract was finally signed. B. J. T. Jeup, head of the firm, will come to Richmond this week to make some preliminary arrangements, and look up some records with regard to the survey. He has already made a thorough investigation of the proposed road and knows the situation confronting his experts. If he completes his arrangements this week, as contemplated, Jeup will send a full force of men over next Monday to commence the actual field work. No time limit was assigned to the engineers for finishing the survey, but it is understood they will have finished the field work before the first of next year . During the winter months drawings of plans for bridges, power houses, sub stations, and similar edifices along the line will be made, and it is expected the construction of the road will be started early next spring. The first work will be done on the northern line, as there are no complicated situations to be met there, and it is believed that the entire route from Richmond to Portland will be staked before work on the suthern line is started. Officials of the new north and south road are enthusiastic over the outlook, and can see no obstacles in the way of having cars running within a year.

VAN PELT IS FOUND GUILTY JMWUROER Says He Shot to Protect His Wife's Name and He Is Not Disgraced. (National News Association) SHELBYVILLE, Ind., Nov. 21. Charles E. Vanpelt, 61, who shot and killed Attorney Charles H. Tindall, 40, August 25 last, was found guilty of manslaughter by a jury in the circuit court this morning, the verdict being found after the jury had been out since 9 o'clock last evening. The jury found that the defendant was of sound mind when the shooting occurred. Vanpelt showed extreme nervousness as the verdict was read, but did not break down. As he was being taken to the jail he said to Sheriff Moore, "it might have been worse." He was sentenced from 2 to 21 years in the state prison. "Boys, I am going to the state prison, but I do not feel that I am going disgraced. I did it for my wife's sake. When you have a good woman stick to her and protect her." NOT WHITER RESORT Mayor to Banish Many Jail "Boarders." The choice of taking a hundred and forty days in jail or five hours in which to get out of town, was offered James Kidwell. an old offender Tuesday morning by Mayor Zimmerman. Kidwell replied, T11 jump at the chance" and was so eager to take advantage of the opportunity to shake Quaker City dust from his feet that he almost forgot his wordly effects, which the kindly arresting officer had removed from him Monday and taken into the office for safe keeping. The effects were one pocket knife. Kidwell is a weezened, grayheaded little follow of apparently sixty years. On Monday he had been imbibing so frdequenUy that the patrolman could not dodge him. He plead guilty to the offense of public intoxication when before the mayor and the mayor after debating the question decided to give Kidwell a chance to pester some other city administration. If he was found in town after 3 o'clock he was 'to be arrested and put in jail for a hundred and forty days the court declared. The mayor is determined to break up the "winter jail habit" among the old offender. They are doing everything they can to break into the baa tile, the mayor says, and he declares that since some are succeeding and can not be prosecuted for housebreaking, he will fire them from the town. The old offenders are not going to have warm quarters at the expense of the county if the mayor can help it He promised himself that this moraine

The rurales will for a time, act independently of the federal army. That President Madero is determined to employ the methods of his stern predecessors President Diaz and crush out the rebellion with the mailed fist was nade evident today by the widespread activities which he set in motion and also by a proclamation which he issued terminating the insurrectos "bandits" and calling upon all good citizens to remain loyal to the government. MRS, PATTERSON IS MADE OLD III DAY Question as to Whether Jury Would Hang Her Breaks Her Spirit. (National News Association) DENVER, Col., Nov. 21. Beautiful winsome Gertrude Gibson Patterson, on trial for the murder of her husband, Charles A. Patterson, of Chicago, has been made an old woman in a day. Haggard and drawn was her face, tear-stained and sleepless her eyes, and even her great head of hair, always so carefully dressed, showed a bit of carelessness or haste, as she came into court today for the second day of her trail. The demand for her life as punishment for her crime is the blow which has broken down J he high spirited little woman. When Prosecutor Benson asked the first talesman who was examined today whether he objected tot sentencing a woman to death, the prisoner fairly shook with fear and emotion. This never ended until the question of the prosecutor, who hard, cold, emotionless demanded of each juror whether he would vote to hang a woman, has torn the nerves of Mrs. Patterson fairly to shreds. One reply seemed even a harder blow to the woman. "Well we let women vote here; they are our equals in almost everything. They ought to be our equals in murder trials," said the talesman. The pretty prisoner covered her face with her hands and sobbed. The whole courtroom was stirred. ONE MAN IS KILLED AND FOUR INJURED Nat tonal News Association) SYRACUSE, N. Y., Nov. 21.

WHISKEY DID NOT KILL YODNG WEBER So the Defense Charges It Alleges the Young Man Was Suffocated.

Admitting the guilt of William Ca sey of Pittsburg on the charge of giv ing whiskey to Ernest Weber, IT. but ; denying that the liquor was the cause : of the boy's death, as alleged by the J state, me aeiense tuesuay assunieu i the burden of proving that Weber died as the result of suffocation on the afternoon of October 2 in the baru of Charles Zuttermeister near Tenth and North G streets. Casey is charged with involuntary manslaughter; as are also his two companions. Charles Codrington and Frank Burns, both in the county jail still awaiting trial, and all employed before their arrest with the construc tion gang at work on the C. & O. at j t) ' . Thn r- . . I " Ik V 11 . 1 1-11 tl il C been endeavoring to prove through witnesses including experts that as a result of drinking the liquor given him by Casey and his companions, Weber died. Partly Substantiated. To a degree the contention of the defense that suffocation was the cause of death was substantiated. Zuttermeister told how he went to the barn between 3:30 and 4 o'clock on Monday afternoon, October 2, and saw lying in the buggy shed a pile of blankets, tarpaulin, buggyrobes and other articles which were out of their place. He started to investigate and not until he had removed some of the covering did he discover that Weber was sleeping on a pile of buggy seats with the blankets and other things thrown over him. He was then dead, the defendant alleges, suffocation having been the cause. In his own defense Casey testified that when Weber, Elzie Ribkee and Lecel Hale gave Codrington, himself and Burns a lift on October 2, that he had about two-thirds of a quart of whiskey and his companions three quarts. But he said that only one quart was consumed by the party of six and the defense maintains that none in the party drank sufficient whisky to, in itsself, cause the death of any one. The defense has estimated that each member of the party, each drinking about the same amount, as it has been agreed by all witnesses they did, reduced the liquor in the quart bottle about one and a quarter inches. Casey admits being a heavy drinker and frequently has gotten drunk. Hale Was Anxious. He said that when they gave the boys liquor, tecel Hale, who was the youngest and the smallest in the party, seemed most anxious to taste the liquor. He said Hale and the other two boys, who looked older and were larger, assured them that they drank whiskey every day. Casey declares, however, that he and his two companions refused to indulge further with the lads after a quart had been consumed. He said the three men all told the boys they would have to go careful or it would make them drunk. Casey, while a rough sort of character, so far as appearances are concerned, is deeply concerned, and regrets the affair very deeply. Several times when on the stand he wiped a tear from his eye. In support of the suffocation theory Prof. Kelly of the nigh school faculty, testified as to the temperature records taken by him on October 2. Other witnesses included undertakers Dan McManus and Theodore Hunt. They substantiated Coroner Pierce, who admitted the autopsy was incomplete. PLANS ABOUT READY For the New Hawkins Park and Lake. That hydraulic engineer Miller, of New Castle, who has had charge of the work on the plans for the park to be built on the Hawkins property, will submit his plans for consideration by the directors of the Richmond Lake and Park company some time the latter part of this week, was the announcement given out Tuesday by Charles W. Jordan, secretary of the company. Engineer Miller has given most of his attention recently to the Richmond project. It is thought that the plans as presented by the New Castle expert will show fully how the new park is to be improved, and if they are approved by the directors, everything will be ready to begin the construction of the municipal play ground. The directors will meet the first of next week to consider the plans as submitted by Miller. It is not probable that, even if the plans are accepted, work will be commenced before next spring. THE WEATHER STATE Fair tonight and Wednesday; rising temperature. LOCAL Fair tonight and Wednesday, warmer tonight.

L LIVELY TIME L Councilman Waidele Submits Report, Engelbert Charges Knocking, and Dr. Wampler Makes Retort. MAYOR ASKS ORDER SERGEANT OBLIGES "Crank" and "Derned Fool" Hurled About with Abandon Waidele and Wampler Get Best of Tilt. Councilmen and others present at the meeting of the city council last evening believed for a while that they would have the opportunity of witnessing a good bout between one of the councilmen and a prominent physician. Henry H. Engelbert, representing the third ward, and Dr. J. M. Wampler, were the prospective principals. However, after the argument between the two had become heated, over a report on the local hospital, the mayor rapped for order but Wampler and Engelbert argued on and finally the mayor believing pugilism was a possibility, excitedly yelled to Sergeant-at-arms McNally to make the belligerents sit down and stop talking or to escort them from the council chamber. The sergeant arose and said in a deep bass voice: "Sit down there and shut up," and quiet ensued. Start of the Trouble. The trouble Btarted over the reading of a report submitted by Councilman Waidele, of the seventh ward. The report touched upon the conditions at the Reld Memorial hospital, comparing the local institution with hospitals in other cities, showing where the Reid hospital is being operated rather loosely. As soon as the report was read, Engelbert arose and looking to the rear of the council chamber where Or. Wampler was aitting, he asked what the report meant and .if it . was a ' knock" at the hospital. He said that he did not believe Waidele . compiled the report alone and that he was sure someone who formerly "pulled" .for the hospital and "who is knocking it now," helped prepare the report. Councilman , Waidele was the first to answer Engelbert, saying that the report was made because Engelbert had told him at a budget meeting sometime ago, when he (Waidele) opposed a motion for a large appropriation for the hospital, to "investigate before you make a howl." Waidele said that he submitted the report in good faith and not with the idea of "knocking" the hospital. Makes Hot Coms-Back. Dr. Wampler then addressed the mayor and asked permission to speak which was granted. "I want to reply to the councilman and ask him if he can name a party who has 'nagged' the hospital?" he said, looking at Engelbert. "I have worked for the institution and I did a great deal of work in soliciting funds for its erection. I well remember the man who would not give anything towards it, and the man who ignored his brother when he was confined to the hospital " "That's it, I'm glad you mentioned my name " " interrupted Engelbert. "Now bis speech was not called for," Wampler continued ignoring the interruption ,"If Engelbert would spend some time in looking up these things, he would find the same conditions other people have. I helped on that report, but it was not with the idea of criticizing the hospital. As a rule hospital boards are failures. At Indianapolis the cost of operating a hospital was cut down thirty per cent when the management was placed in the bands of physicians. At the Reid hospital three men practically run it by their own admissions, too." Then Engelbert Replies. Engelbert was on his feet in a moment after Wampler had left the floor. "I remember the second year I was in council," he said. "Dr. Wampler came to me and asked me to work for an appropriation for the hospital. Shortly after Wampler had some trouble at the hospital. Now they tell me he's a crank and, by golly, he is a crank, and I repeat it he's a derned crank. He has picked men in council to do his dirty work. He's nothing but a crank. Waidele then said that he was chairman of the contracts and franchise committee, which at the present time is the most important committee in council, and that he is unable to work things out for himself, but confers with others to get his facts. He said that Engelbert had told him that he was a crank and made other personal remarks. "I could tell other things," Engelbert said, glancing at Waidele. "Go ahead mad tell tfcetn, it you have anything to -say, traa.tfJdele's retort, 'V (Continued on Page Eight)
