PROSECUTED UNDER "JOY RIDING" ACT

Probably First Case of Its Kind in State Heard in the City Court. 0r taking tbe horse and buggy of Orla Roberts, 909 North Sixteenth street from the carnival grounds Thursday night, Frank McGrath, a railroad employe, was prosecuted this morning under the new "joyriders act." Roberts recovered his horse and buggy at New Paris, late yesterday. McGrath was fined $25 and costs and sentenced to 30 days in jail. McGrath followed Roberts Monday night and entered into conversation with him after Roberts hitched his horse opposite the carnival grounds. The two entered the grounds together and McGrath introduced himself. He then left Roberts and going outside, drove the horse to New Paris. He left it standing unhitched on the street and walked back. Tip From Phone Girls. Telephone girls who heard the local department officers talking to the New Paris constable regarding the stolen outfit, were the first to discover it and they notified the police here. No damage had been done to the horse and rig and six bottles of beer, packed in ice in the buggy, had not been touched. McGrath was questioned yesterday morning and denied having seen the outfit. Chief Gormon was told by Roberts that McGrath had been with him a short time before the theft. The man has been in trouble before. The chief later secured a confession from him. lie stated that he was in toxicated and thought it would be a joke to take a ride and make Roberts belleve the horse had been stolen. McGrath did the same thing a year ago but was not prosecuted then. The action of the authorities in charging McGrath with unlawful possession of a vehicle Instead of horse stealing saved him from a penitentiary sentence. This Is the first prosecution made under the new law in this county. The purpose of the act was to make the prosecution of "joy riders" possible. Formerly the practice of taking automobiles and other vehicles to take short rides was only punishable with a light sentence. It is believed the case of McGrath for "joy riding" in a buggy is the first of its kind in the state. ELECTION NOTICE The annual election of the Richmond Loan and Saving Asociation will be j held at the office of the association on Wednesday evening, September 17, 1913, at 8 o'clock. GEJORGE BISHOP, Pres. WM. F. PIEHL, Secretary, (sep 6 13 17) FAVOR CEMENT ROADS Commissioners Impressed by Detroit Display. m ty Commissioner Beeson stated morning that the commissioners v ere contemplating paving with cement the New Paris highway, which improvement has been petitioned for under the three-mile road law. The commissioners returned yesterday afternoon from Detroit, Mich,, where they Investigated the condition of the roads now being constructed in Michigan. The road officials and county officers highly approved of the cement roads and recommended that roads in this community be built as Michigan roads are being constructed. It was stated that the highways now being constructed would not last six years and would have to be readjusted and worked over four years after they had been completed. Many of the new roads are macadamized and are proving unsatisfactory. On one of the main thoroughfares out of Detroit a cement road built six years ago, was in excellent condition. The road had not cost the county more than $i00 for repairs since its construction, according to Mr. Beeson. The cement roads cost approximately $3,000 more per mile than macadam roads. HUBBY WAS BRUTAL; SHE GETS DIVORCE Luella Kortright was granted a divorce decree from John Kortright this morning by Judge Fox after the plaintiff had related to the court the treatment to which she had been subjected by the defendant. The divorce was granted on the grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment. Kortright was sentenced to jail for a long term last winter for assaulting his wife with a knife. He has made repeated threats against her life, she said. LAW IS NOT JUST, BUT IT IS VALID County Attorney Fred White stated today that the three-mile road law could not be invalidated. The matter was brought up this morning in the commissioners court. The law is conil, though perhaps unjust, i te stated. i i.v law imposes hardships and necessitates the taxation of property in Richmond and other parts of Wayne county for roads being built in the rural districts. special train service via. t. h., i & e. traction company, Wednesday and Thursday, 8eptember 10 and 11. see ad in this issue.

der in cash. The sum of $5,799 in cash has been collected, and the committee reported rfnly $815.48 in outstanding pledges, many of which will be paid soon. It is expected there will be $6,000 or more on hands when the Commercial club rooms close tonight. A few prominent merchants have failed to respond to the solicitation for funds and another effort will be made to secure pledges from them. The committeemen say that all outstanding pledges will be paid by the last week in September. As much as $300 is expected from concessions. Lodges Will Parade. A suggestion to offer awards to the lodge or fraternal organization makin,? the best impression in the industrial parade, was offered by Demas S. Coe, chairman of the committee on fraternal organizations. Through Mr. , Coe jt was 'earned that the American Federation of Labor had voted to turn out for the parade in full force The lodges will not be heard from until next week. The advertising committee reported that more than 500 miles of country roads and almost 90 small towns had been covered with streamers, posters and cards. Newspapers in smaller towns have published articles on the festival and display advertising will be run in several of them next week. It is planned to advertise the festival in the larges cities next week. The following advertising was put out: 2,500 large three colored posters; 10,000 four page heralds; 1,000 muslin banners; 1,000 large size tack cards; 7,000 award books. For the booster committee George O. Ballinger reported that automobile trips would be made to neighboring ! to round out the work of the advertising committee and create additional interest. The boosters will work the j larger of the towns during the weeks j of September 17 or 24. Plan Street Decorations. In the absence of George H. Eggemeyer of the decorating committee, Secretary Charles Jordan of the Commercial club stated that a number of r mis would submit plans and bids for tite decoration of the streets. The contracts, he said, would be awarded September 10. Seven firms have expressed their intention of bidding for the work. In add.. ion, the decorators will bring with them material which the merchants may arrange to use for private decorations. The total appropriation Mr. Coe said, was approximately $6,100, or about $1,000 under the amount subscribed, leaving a surplus for emergencies. The only change made in the list of appropriations published sometime ago I was in the case of the live stock com mittee which was granted an increase of $300. The total funds at the disposal of this committee, the greater part of which is expected to be awarded as prizes, is now $900. Ready For Parades. No definite plans for handling the parades have been made, according to Lawrence Handley. Mr. Handley rei ported his committee would be ready to marshal the parades as soon as it j had an idea of the number of entries, ! and the nature of the floats. For this j information, he said, the committee is relying on the industrial and mercantile committees. Frank M. Jones was appointed chairman of a special committee to boost the automobile parade on the third day of the Festival. Mr. Jones is anxious to have every automobile in Richmond decorated and in the parade. If a suf- ( ficient number enter to warrant it, the j Commercial club win open negotiations with a moving picture firm for pictures of the automobile parade and other features. Movies of Richmond. Edward H. Harris stated that it might be possible to arrange with the Pathe company to display moving pic

Bartel is the head. The flights will be made either from Eleventh street and Main or from the court house yard in a Wright aeroplane. Admission will be charged to see the machine while in the hanger and this is expected to be one of the big money making resources of the festival. A carnival company has been secured, bringing with it a "wild west"

They are taking up with the churches a proposition to serve lunch for the three days. Silver Trophy Awards. Thirty-six cups as well as many cash prizes have been secured by .the awards committee. F. J. Bartel. the chairman, reported the following disposition of the cups which are valued at an average of $35: "Made in Richmond" display, ten cups, for firsts and seconds; miscellaneous, one first and one second; industrial parade, twelve cups, a first and second for each of the six divisions; decorations, three firsts and three seconds; horse show, ' five cups to be awarded to the best lady driver, the best lady rider, finest i draft horse, finest Belgium and the ' best light harness driver. j Mrs. Frank Land reported satisfactory progress on the part of the com ' mittee on the domestic science exhibit which is expected to be one of the feature attractions. It will be held in the high school building. There will be many valuable articles on display and for this reason, a night watchman will be on duty. Want Fair Judges. Members of the committees feel that there should be disinterested judges and these should be chosen by a disinterested person. S. E. Swayne, president oJ the Commercial club, was suggested as he is not a member of any of the festival committees. The domestic science committee was given permission to pick its own judges. The transportation committee has arranged for special transportation facilities during the three festival days, so E. M. Haas, the chairman reported. The work of the industrial committee was reported by its chairman, Atwood Jenkins, to be progressing. The i be visited personally in regard to disI plays. Concessions Granted. L. S. Bowman said that concessions had been granted which would yield $150, and that contracts were pending to the amount of $100. Other concessions he thought would be asked for and allowed later. He estimated that the sale of privileges would bring a revenue of $400. The historical committee of which Secretary Jordan is chairman, is preparing an exhibit of relics and antiques to be placed in one of the rooms of the library. J. F. Hasemeier of the auditing committee requested that, his commit tee be increased indefinitely that an accurate account might be kept of the proceeds of all the amusements from i which the Festival is to receive a per cent of the receipts. Mr. Bailey Appointed. William M. Bailey was appointed to have charge of the wiring for the "Made in Richmond" tent, the horse show tent, and the special wiring that would have to be done on the streets. To determine the distinction between he exhibitor and a concession1st, the committee ruled that any one competing for a prize was an exhibitor nd would be allowed free space. This would not prevent them from selling and taking orders for their goods, but, according to the ruling, delivery is not to be made until after the Festival is over. Two tents have been contracted for, both 290 feet long and 40 feet wide, j These and others to be secured later wi" e used fo the "Made mond" exhibit. in Rich Lost Ice book, No. 13.6S9-B. turn to 223 North Nineteenth st.

BOARD REFUSES TO ACCEPnHIS ROAD Hipskind Claims The Floods Ruined Liberty Pike After Its Completion.

Representing tbe firm of Philip Hipskind fc Sons, contractors', John Hipskind appeared before the county commissioners today and asked that the Liberty pike improvement be accepted. Hipskind alleges that the roadway was completed according to the specifications or his contract and that the March floods which washed out the road and damaged it to the extent of approximately $s,0'0 occurred after his work had been completed. The road had not been accepted by the commissioners and it is contended by the county officials that the road was only partially completed. liipskin's attorney argued the case and presented it to the officials, asking that the road be accepted in its present condition. Commissioner Anderson said the commissiouers would "stand pat" on their decision not to accept the road. Residents along the highway will be called to testify as to whether the road was completed before the floods. County Attorney White will be the final judge in the case and will render a decision at a future date. A PRISONERESCAPES From Sheriff While Enroute to Prison. MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., Sept. 6. William Chumley, a forger, convicted in Parke county, escaped from Sheriff Edward Nicholas of Rockville while on his way to the state prison with his charge last night. The fugitive has not been found. The sheriff left Rockville with Chumley on the Vandalia railroad. Arriving In South Bend the sheriff and his prosiner went to the South Shore interurban station and boarded a train for Michigan City. Before the departure from South Bend the sheriff removed the handcuffs from the pris oner while the latter ate his lunch. When they boarded the South Shore traction the sheriff did not handcuff the prisoner. After their arrival Sheriff Nicholas walked a block with his prosiners, still without handcuffs. Chumley darted down a dark alley and Nichola could not get within shooting distance of him. Chumley is 39 years old and a Kentuckian. He worked on a farm near Rockville where he committed a $200 forgery. City Statistics Marriage Licenses. Lloyd C. Farquhar, 25, mechanical engineer.

The mat ter seems verv simple, just s did to the Jews, until we perceive that "od's I.uw, represented in the Ten Commandments, hss a depth of meaning that cannot Ik? seen ou the surface. flat red inripimi muriier. Apparently the full meaning of this Law was seen by none until Jesus "magnified the Law and made it honorable.'' He says that hatred toward a brother is incipient murder, and that adulterous desire In the heart is a violation of the Seventh Commandment. This throws a light on the whole matter, and explains why no one has been able to keep this Law. except Jesus, since Adam's fall. The great Teacher also explains that the first table of the Law, appertaining to man's duties toward his Creator, means much more than merely to avoid image worship and profanity. It means that the true God shall have the first place in the human heart. Any division of heart, strength, mind or soul violates this commandment. God's Original Law to Man. God's I.aw to man was not originally given at Mt. Sinai. Indeed, the Mt. Sinai statement of the I-aw was given to the Jewish nation alone as the terms upon which they might become God's Itoyal Priesthood for the blessing of all nations. God's original Law to man was given in Eden, written upon Adam's heart. In that he was created In the Divine image with attributes of mind and heart fully in accord with his Creator. He loved righteousness, and would have hated sin, had there been any to hate. But up to that time there was none. After Adam's fall, the work of degeneracy progressed so rapidly that Adam's first born son became a murderer. Doubtless the chagrin of Mother Eve in the loss of Eden and in battling with the thorns and the thistles of the earth under the curse embittered her mind, arousing anger and resentment, which marked her child. From then till now the course has been generally downward, with occasionally a well-born child less seriously marked by sin less depraved. Still the Scriptures inform us that "There is none righteous, no. not one." Hope For tho Future. Mankind's experience for six thousand years forbid us to expect that any could commenl himself to God upon the terms of human perfection, ability and willingness to keep the Divine Law. Jesus alone has kept that Law, and lie because begotten miraculously. He was "holy, harmless, un defined, separate from sinners." God refuses to grant everlasting life to any except the perfect who will keep Ills Law willingly and gladly. What hope then is there for our race? r,:V:;r:o .::K7"r,;r pull uuuiiiei XKfi iiiv v-iiuiu, tiiaiiLaieu at Pentecost. Tbe world's hope Is in the Messianic Kingdom of 1,X0 years, whose rulers and judges will be God's Itoyal Priesthood the glorified Church, Head and Hody. God's Messianic Kingdom will depose Satan, binding him for a thousand years, speedily t, '"tf fff'A C the Iniquities of earth will be set aside, and the 7 l V '. of Iron" will bet gin. Everything opposed to righteousness will be "Thou thalt have no other gods." will be encour- i aged by blessings.

All wilfully rebellious, all lovers of sin. will have been cut off in the Second Death "everlasting destruction." The Church and the Law. The Church of Christ is selected from arnonjrst mankind, who were lMru in sin. The memlers are not un- ; der the Law of Sinai in tbe sense, of being required to keep it perfectly In I 'if i i f.cri riri uni inr tiiuous 1 C..14.' Nevertheless, tbe Law is Tery precious to the Church: for its spirit reveals to her how far short of perfection she is in the flesh, and to what extent the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ covers her fleshly imperfections. Thus, the Apostle declares, "the ricuteousness of tbe Law is fulfilled in us. who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." I MASONIC CALENDAR Tuesday. Sept. 9. Richmond Lodge No. 1S6. F. & A.
