SOCIALIST PARTY'S . VOTE TO BE LARGE mJS GEORGE LANE Candidate For Council in Second Ward Enthusias- ,;" tic Over Prospects.

HAS STEADY GROWTH Democrats and Republicans Have Done Nothing Up to the Present Time. George II. Lane, Socialist candidate for council from the Second ward, is of the opinion that the Socialist vote cast at the municipal election in Richmond next November will surprise even the Socialists themselves. "Last fall, at the national elections, over 700 votes were cast for the Socialist ticket in this city, more than the Republicans polled," Mr. Lane stated. "Since that time the party in Richmond has made splendid strides forward and I would not be the least surprised to see a thousand or more votes cast for the Socialist city ticket. You know a Sociialiet never splits his ticket. He votes straight, so there will be no danger of the members of our party lining up behind the candidates of the other parties." t Expect Large Vote. Leaders of other parties are expecting the Socialists to poll a big vote for their ticket next fall and they are busy trying to figure out what other party is to suffer most by the Socialists inltiaf entry into municipal politics. The Progressive committee is confident that party will not lose any of its strength to the Socialists, but the Democratic and Republican leaders are not so confident. Farwlg Only Democrat. No definite action has yet been taken by the local Democrats in setting k. date for holding a convention to nominate a city ticket, but it is quite probable this convention will be held in September, probably after the Republican primary election, September 9. Henry Farwig is still the only one to announce his candidacy for the Democratic mayoralty nomination. It is now a foregone conclusion that no cne will contest with Dr. Zimmerman for the Republican mayoralty nomination and the G. O. P. city committee is industriously working trying to secure candidates for the other places on the ticket. It has proved hard work so far. PREMIUM LIST ON STOCKjS REVISED Festival Committee Wants More Local Men to Enter Live Stock. The Fall Festival committee on livestock, of whichiyroer G. Whelan is chatonan, revised the premium lists for the horse and hog show last night, and prepared to present them to the executive committee next Tuesday evening. When the executive body decided that the cattle and ' sheep shows did not arouse enough local men to enter to make them really worth while, it cut the appropriation for the livestock exhibit accordingly. Mr. Whelan states that with the present conditions and the expense necessary to house the show properly, the appropriation made his committee is not sufficient. Mr. Whelan expects to get the funds straightened out so that increased prizes may be awarded, and the horse show held under a large tent DYNAMITED A HOUSE 5 Persons in Building Were , ' c Uninjured.

To Send Letter To Every Farmer

County Agent Cobb is planning an educational campaign and a series of meeting dealing with the preparation of the soil for the wheat crop. He is preparing some special articles on the subject which he expects to publish soon. In addition he is writing a circular letter which will be sent to all the farmers in the county.

FILED jYJOMPANY Richmond Light, Heat and Power Company Complies With Contract. PLANS IMPROVEMENTS The Richmond Light, Heat and Power company complied with its contract today by filing a bond for $25,000 with the city clerk for the faithful performance of the provisions of the contract with the city, the contract being assigned to the local company by the Allegheny Gas company. J. B. Wharton of the local company stated today that hia company had accepted the contract at a price less than it could afford to sell gas, but it is its intention to try to increase the consumption to a point that it will show a profit on the total. Mr. Wharton stated that the company is now making plans to repair and reconstruct the distributing system, and that the company would expend about $100,000 in making improvements.

Mr. and Mrs. ChatfieldTaylor divided their mansion so that half the house belongs to Mrs. Chat-Held-Taylor. She is constantly surrounded by nurses and her own especially selected servants. Mr. ChatleldTajior retained the other half of the house and he meets social and busi ness friends there- Mrs. Chatfield- ; Taylor's condition is not considered ! serious.

WOMAN'S BODY IS FOUNDJN BEACH Police Unable to Determine Whether It is Case of Murder. (National News Association) BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 7. The partly dressed body of a young woman was found on the beach at Point of Pines, Revere, Mass., today. At first the police were unable to say whether the case is one of murder or suicide. The underclothing bears the name Ruth M. Woodworth. On the young woman's fingers were a plain gold band ring and a diamond solitaire ring. The police could not explain the absence of. the dress, hat and shoes. They thought the young woman may have been thrown overboard from some boat. The body was later identified as that of Mrs. Ruth Smiley, wife of Allen T. Smiley of Maiden. Mrs. Smiley, who has been suffering from a nervous breakdown had been missing from her home since early yesterday afternoon. IS AT DIGGS TRIAL More Than 300 Persons Unable to Hear "White Slave" Case. (National News Association) SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 7. More than 300 persons were unable to force their way into the crowded court room of Federal Judge Van Fleet today when the trial of. Maury P. Diggs, accused of "white slavery," was called. It was expected that testimony would begin today. Marshal WarYington and Lola Norris, the Sacramento high school girls who were taken to Reno, Nev., for immoral purposes by Diggs and Drew Caminetti, son of the United States Cnnrrussioner of Immigration, accord ing to the government's charges, were ready to take the stand against Diggs. Caminetti appeared at the court room early and went into consultation with Diggs and the attorneys of the defense. One juror who was discharged after the twelve had , been accepted yesterday was to be replaced, at the opening of today's sesion of the trial, and attorneys for both sides announced that they were ready to proceed as soon as the twelfth man was finally accepted. The dislike Diggs has shown in the matter of his being snapped by newspaper photographers nearly caused him serious injury at the end of the court session last evening. He dodged three camera men and leaped upon a rapidly moving street car. His foot slipped and he was dragged fifty feet before he gained a foothold on the car step. One of the photographers caught the car and when he was aiming his camera at Diggs, the former state architect displayed remarkable athletic ability by leaping the gate of the car while it was speeding, and catching another going in the other direction in the middle of a block. POSTPONE CASE The case of Elizabeth Moore against Ora Ware, an attachment suit, whicb was to have been heard in the court of Justice of Peace Morgan at 9 o'clock, this morning, has been postponed until 7:30 Friday niht.

FAMOUS AVIATOR MET

DEATH Col. S. F. Cody, Relative of "Buffalo Bill" Cody, Killed While Testing a New Aeroplane. (National News Association) ALDERSHOT, Eng., Aug. 7. Col. Samuel F. Codv. a former citizen of the United States and one of the most j famous aviators in the world and a passenger were killed here today while testing a new aeroplane over the military aerdrome. These two fatalities bring the aviation death list up to 305. Col. Cody was one of the pioneer airmen and was commissioned by the British government to build up the aviation corps of the imperial army, which he fulfilled to the perfect satisfaction of the war office. Cody was a relative of William F. (Buffalo Bill) Cody and in appearance he resembled the famous American. The name of the passenger who was killed with Col. Cody was Evans. The aviator protested against any one accompanying him saying that he was going to try out a new machine and the risk would be great. Evans was insistent and finally Cody relented. Plane Had Buckled. After a "grass cutting" circuit Cbdy shot the machine upward and soon the car was 1,000 feet in the air. Spectators on the field saw the machine be-

With a thudding crash the machine struck the earth and the petrol tank burst scattering the fuel over the bodies of the two men. Cody and Evans were picked up and rushed to a hospital in the Cantonments but the spark of life had already been extinguished The manner in which Cody got his title of "Colonel" is interesting. Shortly after King George ascended the throne he wrote a note of congratulation to Cody for some air feats he had performed and called him "colonel" Cody, evidently confusing him with "Buffalo Bill." The aviator seized the opportunity to acquire a title and ver since then styled himself Col. Cody. Former American. Last August Cody won the BriUsh army flvine tests, taking $25,000 in ' prizes. Col.

No more must the alluring and coy look of the girl be cast carelessly upon whom and what she pleases and where and when she pleases. It's harmful declares Dr. U. B. G. Ewlng, but he offers no substitute, save that girls should walk stately and serenely along with eyes directed straight before them. "The constant change of adjustment" he says, "is hurtful because there are sixteen muscles in the eyes which should not be strained. If a girl flirts with her eyes a great deal it will create trouble in time, probably. And boys are not immune or adults either. I have never had any applicants who wanted treatment because of this, but perhaps it is because neither boy or girl would ever acknowledge that he or she had flirted excessively or at all."

(National Ntw Association) CHICAGO, Aug. 7 Further criticism of the Empire voting machine waa voiced before the Legislative Investigating .Committee by Prof. O. A. Leutwller. of the University of Illinois. "Fraud can be committed on the Empire machine." declared Prof. Leut wiler. His testimony was similar to that of Prof. C E. Du Puy and G-orge A. Olson, that the machine for which the Chicago Election Board has agreed to pay $1,000,000 could be "fixed." Mr. Olson told the commission that he had worked with Prof. Du Puy and Prof. Leutwiler in the examination and testing of the machine.

PLANS TO BEAUTIFY GLEN MILLER PARK Landscape Gardener May Be Employed By "LookOut" Committee. WATCHING INTERESTS General plans for the beautificatlon of Glen Miller park are being made by the members of the "Lookout committee, the committee appointed two years ago at an indignation mass meeting in the East Main Street Friends' church for the purpose of securing the removal of the interurban tracks from the park. Clayton Hunt, treasurer of the com mittee obtained the promise of the board of works recenUy to the effect that, should the cut left by the removal of the tracks, interfere with the plan of beautificat'on, no road should be run through It as was originally planned. Although there has been no distinct plan formed for the work, it is thought that a landscape gardener will be employed and a portion of the park laid off in driveways. Should the plan be successful, much shrubbery will also be added in certain parts. By a recent resolution, it was decided to perpetuate the committee to watch the citizens' interests in the Glen. The present committee 'is as follows: Dr. L. F. Ross, president; Mrs. M. F. Johnston, secretary; C. B. Hunt, treasurer; Dr. D. W. Stevenson and Timothy Nicholson, honorary members; Mrs. Esther Wallace, George Shute, Frank Clark. The committee entered two suits In the court to secure the removal of the interurban tracks from the park. Although the first was unsuccessful, the second one, venued to Winchester, resulted In a verdict in favor of the committee. CENTERVILLE BOARD TO MEET0FF1CIALS T. H., I. & E. Traction Company Wants the Lighting Contract. The town board of Centerville will meet tonight in conference with representatives of the Terre Haute, In dianapolis & Eastern Traction company for the purpose of hearing the company's proposition toward making a contract to furnish the town with electricity, but opposition will be given it by John Nixon and other leading citizens. The remonstrabprs declare the town can do better by contracting with another corporation as the company can only agree to furnish the electricity for nineteen out of twenty-four hours each day. The company maintains that its service will be steady and adequate as the current will be taken from the high-tension wires instead of from the trolley wire, if the contract is entered j Into. Persons favoring the contract with the traction company say that the Richmond Light, Heat and Power company can not sell Its electricity product because it provides this city with its maximum supply. Because It will require more money than Centerville has in its treasury and more than it is permitted to secure through a loan, that town can not build and maintain Its own plant.

Huerta's announcement Is considered the boldest stand yet taken by him. Unmistakable Terms. A delegation will wait upon Mr. Lind upon his arrival In this city and the attitude of the Mexican government will be outlined in unmistakable terms. To some extent, the action of President Huerta has the approval of the Americans here, because it establishes plainly the position of the American. Otherwise, the suspense attending the coming of Mr. Lind and the conseauences which mar follows, would only be prolonged. In addition to coming as special investigator. Mr. Lind is commissioned to act as peacemaker between the various revolutionary factions.
