A few Democrats are joining the Progressives and three have accepted appointments as delegates to the various conventions. ' THREE ARE PROGRESSIVES. NEW 'CASTLE, Ind., Aug. 28. Consternation was caused in Republican circles yesterday when it was learned that three candidates and possibly more on the Henry county ticket were Progressives. One candidate, when approached by an official as to the story, declared vehemently that he was a Progressive and intended to support the national and state tickets. The Republican county committee some time ago passed a resolution re quiring all officials and candidates to V Rake an oath of allegiance to Taft and Jurbln, and there is speculation as to' whether or not the several candi dates who are Progressives will be ousted from the ticket. WISH BEVERIDGE AGAIN. BROOKVILLE, Ind., Aug. 28. Progressives of Posey township, this (Franklin) county, have been called Ao meet and organize a Beveridge TClub.

Reports from Over State Show Heavy inroads on Old Parties by Progressives

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 28. The following men have resigned their places as precinct committeemen on the Republican county committee in Tipton county: John Haggerman, Frank Hays, E. W. Teter, John. Tudor, Edward Ricketts, Edward Cloud, Thomas Conley, E. P. Mitchell, Oscar Good, W. O. Beatty, David C. Wiggins, Everett Bunch, Joseph McNew, S. I. Wheatley and J. II. Beck. All of these men are reported as Joining the Progressive party. There are forty precinct committeemen in the county, and of these the fifteen named resigned in a body. It is said others will follow the fifteen Into the Progressive party. Many Tipton county Democrats are joining the Progressive party workers. From Greene county comes the report that the Progressive party is in the lead according to comprehensive polls taken by reliable men. It is announced that a poll taken in a precinct in Bloomfield, showed that 72 per cent o the 215 voters were for Roosevelt and Beveridge. The anti-Marshall sentiment among Democrats is strong in Greene county, and the Progressive party is drawing strongly from these disaffected Democrats, according to authentic reports. On a rural mail route out of Bloomington, covering twenty-three miles of roads, the carrier reports but one Republican. Roosevelt and the Progressive party predominate on this route. Work to Elect Democrats. From Bedford comes the report that Judge John M. Lewis, Republican district chairman for the Fourth district, 'b pushing a plan for the nomination of a Republican candidate for Circuit judge to make the race against L. R. Browning, who has been chosen by the Progressives. The Progressives declare that Lewis's move merely goes to prove that the Republicans of the state organization prefer to elect a Democrat rather than to permit a Progressive to be elected. Oren S. Swails of Seymour, law partner of Judge Lewis, is the Democratis judicial nominee in the district made up of Lawrence and Jackson counties. Lawrence county Progressives propose to support the Republican county ticket, which ticket they helped to nominate some time ago. They declare, however, that in return for this stand the Republicans of Lawrence county might reasonably support the Progressive nominee for judge, and refuse to join Jackson county and Lewis in the project for Republican judgeship candidate. It is urged that Lewis

Baggagemaster Also Has Troubles

"Even the baggage room has its seasons," said the baggagemaster, making himself comfortable on a trunk and pointing to a number of large trunks that had provoked his observation. "Farmers seem to believe they are the only persons whose work varies as the seasons change. An apprenticeship in a baggage room would soon convince them that we knew what the resson is by the kind of baggage we handle. "You see those large trunks standing against the wall. They belong to one of eleven jewelry drummers in the city trying to sell gold and silver trinkets to Richmond jewelers for the Christmas trade. The jewelery drummer is the forerunner of the army of drummers who make Richmond each fall. "Hardly have the jewelry drum IS PROFESSIONAL BEATER OF BILLS -Ova Blair was fined $5 and costs in court this morning. He plead guilty to the charge of defrauding Mrs. Cornelia Aldrich, of Ft. Wayne avenue, cut of a board bill amounting to about 5. This is the third offense of this rature committed by Blair, and reported to the police here. He left the Alclrich boarding house late in January and returned recently. He was arrested yesterday evening at the Robinson foundry where he was working. He was wanted for the same charge on an affidavit sworn to by a Mrs, Hattle Haycraft, 73 Ft. Wayne avenue. A boarding house keeper in West Rich mond was also victimized by the man. He left the Aldrich home and then boarded for a time with Mrs. Haycraft, leaving the city after defrauding this woman out of a board bill. A BIG BOXING CARD For Richmond Fans on Night of Labor Day. Another big boxing show will be held at the Coliseum Labor Day night. in which some of the best boxers in the state will take part. The main event of the evening will bring together Young Donnelly and Eddie Webber. These boys are consid ered the class of the welterweights in Indiana and should put up a rattling good bout. Harry Burgman of Indianapolis will box Buck Daily of Chicago 10 rounds in the semi-wind up, while Kid Evans of Anderson will meet Marty Wilson of Columbus In an eight round contest. Several good preliminaries will be arranged between local boys and altogether the fans will see close to forty rounds of milling. The card, taken as a whole, is the best yet offered Richmond fans and should draw a banner house.

is simply working to aid his law partner, the Democratic candidate. It Is now asserted that in the event the Republicans of Lawrence county join Jackson county and nominate a Republican candidate for judge in an effort to elect a Democrat over the Progressive nominee, this action will service as notice to Lawrence county Progressives that their help is not desired on behalf of the Lawrence county Republican ticket. This will mean a Progressive county ticket in Lawrence county. E. M. Wasmuth, of Roanoke, asks Huntington papers to say he is a Republican, and to deny recent reports that he had become a Progressive. Mr. Wasmuth served as a state representative, and is a strong and able man who is valued in hiB party. James Hoover, nominated by the Progressives of Gibson county as a candidate for county commissioner, has declin

ed to make the race. Mr. Hoover announces he will stay Vith the Republican party. Henry county Republicans were able to rally only eighteen of the forty-one precinct committeemen at their most recent organization meeting, and several of those present were on hand to tender their resignations. New Paper Proposed. ) It is reported that the Republicans agreed to change their tactics toward the Progressives, and it was planned to cease abusing the big moose and try persuasion on the Progressive workers to induce them to return to the Republican party. The New Castle Courier has been especially offensive in its attitude toward Progressives, and is blamed for much rf the bitter feeling in Henry county against Republican bossism and intolerance. It is said a Progressive newspaper is to be started in New Castle. Fulton county Republicans have offered the Progressives four places on the Republican county ticket in the event the Progressives refrain from putting a county ticket in the field. The Progressives have formally declined to place their candidates under the Republican emblem. It is the general feeling that past experience with the Republican organization men gives rise to the suspicion that the Republicans desire to place the Progressives on the ticket only to slaughter them, and at the same time to obtain Progressive support for the machine's men. No chances are to be taken in Fulton county by the Progressives. mers left Richmond before the millinery drummers arrive. It's the spring trade in woman's head gear that these chaps are looking for. "Then come the traveling men who handle men's clothes. Time was when we dreaded their arrival in town, for they came with a dozen trunks each. But tim? has changed. Twelve trunks have given way to two. Clothing merchants now order from a sample showing the style and from books containing different kinds of patterns of cloth. "The hardware drummers formerly made life a misery for us. They arrived with trunks loaded with heavy iron and steel samples of their wares. A great change has taken place here also. Now they carry only books and the merchants order from 'the plates and descriptions printed in the catalogues. A NEW METHOD FOR BRICKING STREETS A new method of building brick streets, said to be as good as the one now in use, and to have the added advantage of being much cheaper, is to be investigated by the city officials. In the new system, which is in vogue in many other cities, the cement used in the foundations is dispensed vith. A solid bed of crushed stone, well tamped, and rolled is laid for the foundation and on this the sand and brick are placed. It is said to be easier drained, and to have more resistent qualities as well as being much cheaper than the method now employed. That cement is not absolutely essential to layrng a brick street is shown by the wearing qualities displayed by Main street, which has no cement in its construction. A DEAL IN STAMPS. Tho Watchful Man Insisted on His Rights and Got Left. The man who keeps a watchful eye on the federal government bought fire postage stamps. The drug store cashier laid them down, picture side up. whereupon the customer confounded her with his knowledge of the government He unfolded a newspaper and pointed to a headline: "Stamps must be delivered gummy side up." "See that?" said he. "By layine down stanfps the way you did you are loading me up with germs. This window 6ill may be alive with germs. They will stick to the gum on the stamps, and I shall carry them home and lick them off and maybe be laid up with a spell of sickness." The girl gave the stamps another little push, and he shoved them baek. "NY hat do yon want roe to doT she asked. "Take these stamps back, he said, "and lay out five more (rummy side op as the government directs. She obeyed He folded the slip, still gum side up, and put it In bis pocket He went borne and wrote letters till bedtime and prepared to stick on the stamps.' Then he said, ELang that girl.

CONFUSION CAUSED IN MAIL SERVICE New Sunday Mail Methods Required Under the New Post Office Bill.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 28. Plans were perfected by Postmaster General Hitchcock whereby the administration of the new law prohibiting the delivery of mall on Sundays will have no serious effect upon the handling of important mail matter. Holders of lock boxes at first and second class postoffices will have access to them as usual, although no mail deliveries will be made by carriers on the street or at postoffice windows. Mail for hotel gueBts and newspapers will be delivered to them through their lock boxes by a simple arrangement of having that mail sorted on the rail way mail cars before it reaches its destination. Such mail will be regarded 83 "transit matter" and will be distributed immediately upon Its arrival at the offices of destination, thus, practically, insuring a speedier deliv ery to the addressees than heretofore has been the case. The distribution will require a minimum of Sunday work and the distribution of other mail received on Sunday will be made after midnight of Sunday so that it may be delivered by the carriers on their first tour on Monday. Explains New System. After all-day conferences with the experts of his department, Postmaster General Hitchcock tonight issued a statement explanatory of his administration of the new law. His assurance is that there will be no embarrassment to the business public and that, through the arrangements he outlines, urgent mail matter will reach its destination promptly. Orders necessary to carry Mr. Hitchcock's plans into effect will be issued Immediately. The postmaster general's statement follows: "There seems to be some misapprehension as regards the provision in the postal bill relating to the delivery of mail on Sundays. This provision does not require the closing of postoffices on Sundays which would be quite impossible, owing to the fact that the transit mail has to be sorted, and also the mail collected in cities for dispatch to other destinations. To stop the movement of this mail would mean a serious clogging of the whole system of mail transportation and consequent inconvenience to the public. Available to Box Holders. "At present, most of the' mail received on Sunday for delivery by carrier Monday morning is worked after midnight on Sunday and, therefore, the law will not affect this mail. It will be delivered as promptly as hitherto. Mail received up to midnight on Saturday for lock boxes will be distributed to the boxes and will be available to box holders on Sunday, as usual. "There is at present no street delivery of mail by letter carriers on Sunday and therefore the law makes no change in this regard. In 6hoft the only mall that will be affected under a reasonable construction of the new law is that received at the postofflces on Sunday and hitherto sorted on that day for distribution to lock boxes. "As the purpose of the law, which was clearly enacted in the Interest of employes, is to reduce as far as practicable the amount of Sunday mail to lock boxes will be limited to certain classes of mail that can not be held until Monday morning without serious inconvenience to the addresses. The mail will include that for newspapers and hotel guests. The latter is peculiarly transient in character and should not be delayed. Sorted On Mail Cars. "This mail, like the special delivery mail, will be sorted out at the offices of dispatch and on the railway mail trains in order to simplify the work of distributing it in the postoffices on Sunday. "As practically all business houses are now closed on Sunday, they do not object to the plan, which has been in force for a year, of holding their mall until Monday morning, realizing the benefit thus conferred on postal employes, who are thereby relieved from Sunday labor. "In order to give the new provision" as liberal a construction as possible, postmasters will be instructed on application to have their employes sort out in emergency cases on Sunday letters of special importance. This will supplement the present privilege of having all mail delivered on Sunday that carries a special delivery stamp. "By the proposed changes in the method of putting up mail in the offices of origin and in its handling on the railway mail trains it Is believed that a satisfactory distribution can be made in postoffices on Sundays with far less work than is now required. Thus the law can be made to confer great benellts on postal employes without inconvenience to the public." No Intent to Restrict Minority Leader Mann of the House, author of the provision prohibiting the delivery to the general public of mail on Sunday, discussed the subject today with postal officials. He said there was no intent upon the part of Con gress so to restrict the activities of the Postoffice Department as to incon venience seriously the business pub lic. It is absurd." he declared, "for any body to assume that Congress meant to close postoffices as tight as a wedge on Sunday. We simply required that there should be no delivery of mail to the 'general public on Sunday, in order that letter carriers and postoffice clerks might enjov a reasonable respite from their labors. Such work as is necessary for the distribution and transmission of the mails naturally must be done, otherwise business of the country might be seriously iaeon-enieneed."

"No. I didn't." replied the rural Innocent "The room was all right and the bed was pretty good, but I couldn't pleep very much, for I was afraid some one would want to take a bath, and the only door to it was through my room."

It was 12 o'clock when I reached the office, and I had an important appointment for 10 o'clock too." "Why, I called you at 7:30. Johnr "Was the clock right?" "Yes; I set it last night when you came home. You remember I called downstairs when you came in and asked you what time it was, and you said 10:30. The clock in my room said 1:45, so I turned it back to agree with your watch, and, of course, I called you by the correct time this morning." Buffalo Express. The Mule's Error. One one occasion, writes Attorney Earl B. Smith of Somerton. Yuma county, Ariz., I was obliged to remain at a primitive southern Arizona ranch over night, and at about dusk I was given a quilt a clean sheet and a pillow and told to take them to the top of a twenty foot alfalfa stack and make up my bed. Knowing the conditions of the country, I did not murmur and climbed the pole ladder to spend the night I never enjoyed a better night's rest at any hotel. At early dawn I raised my head and saw two yearling mule colts feeding at the edge of the stack. We exchanged glances for a few moments, while the mules ears showed keen astonishment. Suddenly I rose to my feet, and in doing so the white sheet clung to my shoulders, whereupon the colts "lit out" down the lane as if the Angel Gabriel were descending to take them to celestial pasturage. While at the breakfast table I related the incident, which was much enjoyed, but no remarks were made at the time. As one of the ranch hands was passing out of the door lie said in a subdued but distinctly audible voire that it was the first time he had eve heard of a lawyer being mistaken for an angel, and nobody but a mule would have made such an error. Casa and Comment A Sight Unseen. Mr. Heyburn of Idaho sometimes" has trouble in getting a large audience of his fellows when he speaks, on the floor of the senate. One day last July he rose to make a speech, and, seeing that there were only three men besides himselfla their places, he moved to adjourn. This was prevented by the assembling of a quorum of senators who had been sitting In the cloakrooms. In beginning his delayed speech he said: "I do not understand the conducx of senators. I have seen them under all phases. I have seen a senator leave this chamber when be should stay here to receive good advice. I have seen him leave this chamber when by remaining he could have given good advice. The only thing I never saw a senator do was to back out of the door In the middle of his own speech." The Foot Astray. William F. Cody was once relating a story which concerned an Indian who had met with an accident In a Buffalo Bill show. It was necessary to amputate the Indian's . leg, and in the description of this operation Cody wai Interrupted frequently by a young doctor who injected technical and medical terms into the straight vernacular of the scout He was Irritated, but ignored the doctor. "A few days after the operation," continued the narrator, "the Indian learned that his leg had been buried. With a whoop be leaped from his bed and jumped upon the doctor with both feet." "Jumped with both feet after an operation?" shouted the doctor, .exulting in his exposure of the great scout's absurd story. "I said upon the 'doctor with both feet" explained Cody.

CENSUS OMIEGROES And Mulattoes Prepared by the U. S. Government. (National News Association)

WASHINGTON. D. C. Aug. 2S. A preliminary statement showing by states and geographic divisions the number and proportion of mulattoes among the negroes enumerated at the Thirteenth Decennial Census of the United States, taken April 15. 1910. was issued today by Director Durand of the Bureau of the Census. Department of Commerce and Labor. The statistics were prepared under the di rection of William C. Hunt, chief sta tistician for population in the Bureau of the Census, and are subject to revision. The statement gives comparative figures for 1S70 and 1890. no data being available for 1SS0 or 1900. The term "mulatto," as used in the census of 1910 includes all persons, not full-blooded negroes, who have 6ome proportion or perceptible trace of negro blood. The Bureau of the Census does not regard the returns as being beyond question since the classification of negroes as full-bloods or mulattoes was necessarily to a considerable degree dependent upon the personal opinion and conscientiousness of the enumerators. The results, however, are believed to approximate the facts for the country as a whole and for large aggregates. In 1910 there were in continental United States as a whole, 9.827.763 negroes, of whom 2,050,686. or 20.9 per cent, were reported as mulattoes. In 1890 there were 1,132.060 mulattoes reported, or 15.2 per cent of all the negroes, and in 1870 a total of 584.049, or 12 per cent. Thus, the figures taken at their face value show that about one-fifth of all the negroes in 1910 had some admixture of white blood, as against about one-eighth in 1870. It may be noted, however, that an increase in the mulatto element does not necessarily imply increasing Intermixture with the whites, since the children born of marriages between blacks and mulattoes would be mulattoes according to the census definition. The percentage of mulattoes reported varies widely in different Btates and different sections of the country. In Kew England and in the East, North, Central and. Pacific divisions about one-third of the negro population were reported as mulattoes, while in each of the three southern divisions is only about one-fifth. In the Middle Atlantic division for some reason the percentage is not higher than it is In the southern divisions. This may possibly be due to the rapid growth of negro population in that division through immigration from the south. BASEBALL RESULTS NATIONAL LEAGUE.
