THE RICHMOND PALLADIU3I AND SUXTELEGRAM, WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 20, 1911.
WITNESSES BEFORE BOARD WEDI1ESDAY 'ackson Twp. Drys Trying to Refute Charges Made by the Wets.
The situation in the Jackson township blanket remonstrance case was unchanged the second day of trial, which is going on before the board of county commissioners with which tri bunal Roy II. Fraunberg, in order to obtain a liquor license, filed challenges as to the validity of the remoni atrance. While Fraunberg and his counsel, attorneys, W. II. Kelley and O. G. Boldest of Indianapolis, have introduced &o evidence in substantiation of their charges, the "drys" so far have been able to prove i the legality of the rights f nearly all the remonstrators who .Were challenged, either because of not feeing legal voters in Jackson town ship or because they were minors. J As the burden of proof as to the validity of the remonstrance rests with the remonstrators themselves, their attorneys, including Henry U. Johnson, Wilfred Jessup, Fred White and ML R. Feemster, the latter of Cambridge city, have undertaken to prove Ills false the challenges made by FraunIberg that forty-three of the remonstrators were not legal voters and that Sour others were minors. The four 'who were challenged as being minors before the board Tuesday and seemed fto satisfy the court they were twentyone years of age at the time of signing the remonstrance. The "drys" then undertook to prove that the forty-three voters who were challenged as not being legal voters when they igned the remonstrance had a legal (Tight to remonstrate against the li(quor traffic. Use 8evsral Methods. By the employment of different toethods the remonstrators had proven by Wednesday noon that all of the Iforty-three with the exception of ten or fifteen, whose cases had not yet been taken up, were legal voters. Subsequent steps to be taken by the temperance faction will be to refute the allegations of Fraunberg that forty- ! eight names were secured to the rejmonstrance by reason of misrepresentation and fraud, and two others by tbrlbery and intimidation. It is expected that the last step to be undertaken by the "drys" will be to prove the powers of attorney were regularly and legally distributed, and that, therefore, Fraunberg can not raise the point as to the validity of the signatures of every remonstrator who signed powers of attorney cards. He has challenged the signatures of 538 remonstrators because of alleged irregularity in the powers of attorney cards. The first witness before the board i on Wednesday was George Steeple, who was followed by Harry E. Staunch. Charles Meyers, A. R. Feemster, John K. Smith, Clarence M. ; Pierce, Edward G. Jacobs, B. R. Smith, Joe Bailey and others. They were called by the "drys" to prove the 43 alleged illegal voters had resided in the township long enough to sign the remonstrance legally. The majority of these remonstra(tors were out of the jurisdiction of the court and the court had to depend ;On secondary evidence. Sheriff Steen was criticized by the attorneys and the commissioners for 'not being within hearing of the court as the law requires. One of the attorneys stated that the sheriff was allowed 2 a day in addition to his salary for attending the commissioners rcourt and he thought the sheriff .should be present when needed. !Vhen the sheriff was wanted by the , beard he was on the opposite side of the court house talking with a friend 'from Cambridge City.

decree'not filed IN JOHANNING CASE Judgment which was rendered in favor of Henry Johanning and others against the South Side Improvement association several weeks ago, in which Judge Fox decided that the high fence which has been constructed around Beallview park shall be removed because the grounds were dedicated for park and public purposes, is not in force and as a consequence the fence is still standing. The reason is that no decree has been entered. The attorneys have objetced to the form of decree which has been offered. It is probable that the case will be appealed to the appellate court before final action is taken. After the Strike.

GRAND JURY IS TO REPORT THURSDAY
Reports of the grand jury will be made Thursday afternoon, according to the announcement which was made by prosecuting attorney Ladd. Several indictments will be returned, it is understood. The most serious will be that of first degree murder. It is believed, against Mike La Penna, the Italian who killed his cousin, Tony, I at the fence factory several weeks ago. The impression has gone forth that other indictments which are expected will be against violators of the liquor and gambling laws and possibly others for assault and battery. Inspection of the county institutions will be made by the jury before it returns its i report. A Status That Never Was Built. Mount Athos In Turkey was the spot contemplated by a sculptor for the most imposing monument that man had ever had. The sculptor. Dinocrates. offered to cut the huge mountain mass into the form of a statue of Alexander which should hold a city in the left hand and in the right a basin to receive all the waters that flowed from the mountain. Alexander was much taken by the plan, but rejected it for the practical reason that there was not food enough in the district to feed the inhabitants of the proposed town. So Abe canal cut by Xerxes to enable the ships to escape sailing round the mountain remained the greatest enterprise ever achieved there.

A reception to show the appreciation for work he has done for Richmond, will be given at the Westcott Hotel December twenty-eighth in honor of Nettleton Neff, who is about to leave the city permanently.

McCullough, who comes to Richmond to succeed Mr. Neff will be the guests ol honor. E. M. Haas has been delegated to draw up a resolution on behalf of the Commercial Club, expressing regret over Mr. NefTs departure from Richmond. An Unlucky Showman. Punch and Judy originated in China about 1.000 years before Christ. The Emperor Mir of the Chow dynasty was one day making a tour through the empire when an entertainer named Tien Shi was brought Into his presence to amuse the ladles of his court During toe performance the poppets cast such significant glances toward the ladies that the angered emperor ordered the originator of the "poppet play to be executed.

BEVERIDGE IS TO
SPEAK HERE ALSO Ex-Senator Will Accompany Senator La Follette to Richmond. Word was received here today by the officers of the Hoosler State Progressive League that Senator La Follette would speak in Richmond on the evening of January tittk and that his Itinerary is now complete. He will speak at Indianapolis at a noon day meeting on January 6th and then come direct to Richmond for the night meeting. Word was also received here that Albert J. Beveridge would introduce Senator La Follette at the Indianapolis meeting and then accompany him to Richmond. The introductory speech In Richmond will be made by one of the officers of the Hoosier State Progressive League. While the committee felt disappointed that Senator La Follette could not come to Richmond on December 23d, as planned, they now believe they will be more than repaid for the delay by the news that ex-Senator Beveridge will also come, and that more people will have an opportunity to hear the speeches on progressive principles. The committee today made application to the management for the use of the Coliseum on that night as they realize that it is the only place that will come anywhere near accommodating the crowd which will want to hear La Follette and Beveridge. Skating had been arranged for that night, and the committee is awaiting the decision of the Coliseum management for a cancellation of the skating program. Senator Lu Follette will probably come to Richmond by traction as his campaign will be an economical one. The money for the hall rent in Richmond will be raised by popular sub scription among the shop men. The Bawbee. Englishmen are familiar with the name "bawbee," applied to the Scotch halfpenny, but to few does It bring the association of a baby queen and a loyal people. It appears that the first attempt at the portraiture of the unfortunate Mary, queen of Scots, was made In her Infancy, and her small face was engraved upon the Scottish halfpennies at the time of her coronation in 1543, when she was but nine months old. A number of these small coins are still preserved, and it will be easily understood how the name "bawbee," or baby, came to be given to the coin bearing the effigy of the baby. The halfpenny of Scotland is still comttmnly called the bawbee, although the baby face no longer appears on it. Pearson'sj? t, The Wise Brids. "Yes. the girls gave the bride a commiseration shower." "What in the world Is that?" "Why, they all told her how sorry they were she was going to marry such a man as the coming bridegroom." "That must have hurt her feelings." "No. it didn't. She knew there wasn't a girl there who wouldn't have given her eyes to get him!" Cleveland Plain Dealer. Mixed Metaphors. A well known bishop, speaking in the upper house of Canterbury convocation on prayer book revision, rather startled some of his Episcopal brethren by declaring, according to the Church Family Newspaper, "We are not writing on a clean slate; there is a good deal of grit under the door."
