LITTLE BLUE

RIBBON

PROTECTS CITIZEN IN Daniel Walters to Return to Disordered Country, i$?'earing Nothing. RECEIVED FROM PRIEST Vhat it Signifies and Secret Power it Possesses, WalIters is Unaware. On of Daniel Walters most prized possessions is a little blue ribbon of a peculiar shade. It Is just an ordi nary strip of ribbon, except for its odd coloring, and is not more than an Inch In length, but in the land where It came from, Mexico, it has almost the same mystic power as the legend- j ary magic ring. The wearer of such a ribbon commands the utmost deference from Mexicans of all stations in i life and he is safe from all molestation, even in districts where revolutionary disorders are the greatest. j Because he possesses such a magic ribbon, Walters is planning to return to Mexico next February with the utmost indifference as to what the conditions in that anarchy-ridden, American-hating country will be at that time. He is going to Zacaticas, in central Mexico, near Mexico City, where he is interested in an ore mining concern. The ribbon he will place on the lapel of his coat as soon as he enters Mexico, is the gift of the priest of a Zacaticas church, who is an American. What it signifies, what secret power it represents in the Mexican Catholic church, Walters is ignorant of. He was not told and he did not , ask. All he knows about this little ribbon of his is that so long as he wears it he is safe from indignities. Interesting Story. Walters' story of how he came into possession of this ribbon is an interesting one. "One day in Zacaticaa," he said, "I wandered into a cathedral, one of the oldest and most historic in Mexico. In the dim light I saw a priest come from behind the altar. He appeared to be an American and I asked him if he was not. He replied in the affirmative and asked me from what part of the states I came from. I told him Richmond, Ind., then remarked that I was born in Butler county, Ohio. With that he seized me and embraced me. 'I was born in old Butler county, too,' he said, almost sobbing with joy. He invited me to his quarters, where .we had refreshments and he told me how he had entered the priesthood and how he had eventually been sent to Mexico by the church. After we had talked together for over an hour about our boyhood home, he presented me with this little ribbon, telling me to always wear it in Mexico. 'After I left him I could not help noticing what great respect was paid to the ribbon I wore. It was frequently saluted and always there was a pathway open to me Ho matter how dense the crowd. Perhaps some day i will learn what the secret of the ribbon is." MANY BOYS UNDER SCHOOL AGE WORK .Truant Officer Gets Report From Principals of Variovis Schools. Looking op names of children who belong in school, George. Bishop, county truant offloer, is a bu&wlnan. The reports sent to the official from various schools in the city indicate that there are many .children in this city under the age t. sixteen years who are not in, school. Yesterday sixteen families, patrons of the Warner school, were visited by the truant officer and ordered to send their children to that school. Various causes were assigned by parents as to why the children were not attending. In some cases children are working In factories without having obtained a permit. According to principals from other schools the number of delinquents i? equally as large as at the Warner school. Some principals reported that j as many as twenty -five children be longed in schools and were not at tending. All reports of this charac ter will be investigated by the truam officer within the next two weeks.

Evolve "Rest" Dance to Use With Tango

Tango dances will be taught and danced in Richmond during the coming season if the public desires, says Mrs. Frank Crichet, a well known dancing teacher. "The tango is a beautiful dance when properly performed," says Mrs. Crichet. "It is the very embodiment of grace and the poetry of motion when the dancers do it correctly. But when the dance is mutilated it is slouchy, inartistic and sometimes shocking." Modify Tango. Mrs. Crichet believes that the tango in its present form will have to bt considerably modified before it can be come very popular. "In the first place-the dance is to fast. Only the young or the very athletic can participate in it owing to it exhaustive nature. There can be bi little amusement in dancing when leaves the dancer physically exhaus-led."

Maximum 74 Minimum 59 MAN COUNTERFEITER AUTHORITIES BELIEVE Hans Schmidt Also Thought to be Connected With Other Murders. (National News Association) NEW YORK, Sept. 16 In the belief that he has committed other murders than that of Anna Aumuller, the girl whose torso was found in the Hudson river, the police today planned to put "Father" Hans Schmidt, the alleged priest who confessed to butchering the girl, through an examination intended to force him to reveal every act of his shrouded past. That Schmidt was a counterfeiter as well as a murderer, came to light today through the arrest shortly after midnight of Ernest Arthur Muret, an alleged bogus dentist, and Bertha Vech, his girl assistant. Muret today admitted that he knew both Schmidt and the murdered girl and confessed that Schmidt had been his partner in counterfeiting operations. After the arrest the police raided Muret's flat and also another flat which was rented jointly by Schmidt and Muret. In the latter was found a complete counterfeiting outfit. In the fiat where Muret lived were found surgical instruments, such as are used to perform illegal operations. The po lice believe that these instruments were used to perform an operation on the Aumuller girl, who would have soon become the mother of a child. Muret told the police today that shortly before the death of Anna Aumuller, the girl visited Central park and was blistered by poison ivy. When he asked Schmidt on September 4, three days after the murder, how the girl was, the priest replied, "O, she is in great shape. Poison ivy will never bother her again." Schmidt spent a restful night in his cell. The" horror of his crime apparently does not bother him. He ate a hearty breakfast and appeared calm and undisturbed. He still refuses to be interviewed on the ground that "reporters cannot understand the acts of great men." Police officials, the coroner and the prison warden now hold different views concerning Schmidt's insanity. The prisoner himself ridicules the idea that he is insane and declares that there has never been any Insanity in his family. VILLAGE BOOSTERS ADOPT NEW NAME Needmore Become Oklahoma Citizens Seek City Improvements. Needmore, a little village one-half mile southwest of the Wernle Orphans' Home, is obseBtfed of the "boosters" spirit. It has petitioned to change its name to Oklahoma. Its residents . are planning a town improvement association with the hope that soon electric lights and oth er conveniences will add pleasure to residence there. They also seek a flag stop on the C. & O. railroad, and hope some day to have an electric line stopping at the village. A large sign announcing that the name of the village has been ordered, and as soon as it is in place, the organization of the improvement association will take place. Oklahoma has a population of about forty persons. The appended list shows the number of persons who have signed a petition asking for the change of name from Needmore to Oklahoma: Melvin Addington, Elmer H. Ralston, James Cozad, Arthur Jenkins, Tames Adams, Isaac Adams, Joseph Rolsin, Isaac Cozad, Charles Shepard, William F. Steinbrink, John Stout and Homer Ralston. . MURRAY PROMOTED Prof. A. L. Murray, formerly head of he English department of the Richnond high school, has been appointed o take charge of the practice school f Indiana University. Mr. Murray las been head of the English departnent of the high school at Hammond. In other cities the dancing masters are evolving a new dance to be used Between tangoes to permit the lovers of the former to recuperate. "Some" Combination. The new dance will have the slowest movement yet seen on the dancing floor and will be known as the rest dance. It will be performed at the rate of 65 measures per minute and will be a combination of a one step, balance, dream, giggle and a moonlight stroll. Mrs. Crichet is afraid that the tango ill meet the same fate locally that ut the barn dance out of existence in lichmond. Owing to the vibration roduced in the building when several ere barn dancing, other owners of "e dance halls took measures to have discontinued. It is probable that e tango will be terminated in like aimer unless some method can be juad to counteract the vibration.

JORDAN REQUESTS LOWER SALARIES

Treasurer of School Board Asks Council to Reduce Wages of Members. LOWER BONDS CAUSE Whitacre and Taylor Refused Increases When Council Passes Ordinance. Explaining that the bonds of members of the city board of education had been lowered, Charles W. Jordan, treasurer of that body, appeared before city council last evening and asked that the salaries of the board members be reduced. Council refused to lower the salaries but will investigate and the matter will be discussed further at the next meeting. The council previously increased the salaries to take effect August 1, 1913. This action was taken because the I amount of bonds required of each member had been raised. The salaries of the members of the board was formerly $100 a year each. Of this amount, the secretary and pres- j Ident paid $91 for a bond while the treasurer's bond was $275. It was to correct this system that the council took action some time ago. Mr. Jordan explained that when the members of the board had filed their bonds for the coming year, Auditor Bowman had lowered them, the treasurer paying $155 and the other two members about $50 each on the bond rate of $1 a thousand. By the new bond arrangement, the salary of the treasurer amounted to $125 a year more than the council had anticipated. Gives Report Voluntarily. Although the school board is not accountable to council, the annual school report was voluntarily given and Mr. Jordan extended an invitation to council to visit the high school and other buildings in a body. He explained that additions to the teaching staff and new equipment in some of the schools had nrpvunteH t Vi 1 hnapH frnm Inu-ortrKF . 1 1 , a 1 1 a; . 1 1 im; bciiuui lax as uau oeen anucipaiea. Pass Salary Bill. The salary ordinance, effective from January 1, 1914, until January 1, 1918, was passed without discussion. No increase in salary was allowed for Su perintendent Whitacre of the crematory nor to John Taylor, sealer of weights and measures. The salaries remain at $720 a year, each. Follow Regular Form. The bills for ordinances creating offices of a board of works and city controller and conferring upon the board of works, the duties of the board of safety, were passed, and signed on a motion of Councilman Williams to suspend the rules. The improvement of an alley west of South Seventh street between G and H streets, was ordered in an ordinance by the council after the body had inspected the place and found the improvement badly needed. The board of works will advertise for bids for the construction of a cement alley. The bill for an ordinance authorizing the board of works to pave South G street from Sixth to Seventh streets, was held over to next meeting as th3 improvement is an expensive one and the burden of the payment will be on the same persons who pay for the cement alley. Council adopted a resolution empowering the city clerk to order blank poll books printed and delivered to the inspectors, in voting precincts. The books will be paid for out of the fund appropriated last year for election purposes. COURSE IN SEWING NOW COMPULSORY Towels, aprons and work bags will be made by the children of township schools Nos. 1, 3, 5, 9, 10 and 11. The material for the sewing course was received at the office of the trustee this morning and distributed among the students. The vocational law makes it necessary for sewing to be taught in the township schools. The cooking courses promise to be as popular as any other phase of the work, according to the trustee. GLEN MILLER BEARS DANCE " TANGO BEAR !) Object Strenuously to the "Canned" Music on the "Flying Dutchman." Bears do not take favorably to the modern amusement appliances, according to Ed Hollarn, superintendent of parks. Mr. Hollarn did not realize this Sunday morning when he "was taking Nellie and Boscoe, the Glen Park bears out for a walk. He tried to entertain the animals by giving them a round on the "Flying Dutchman." Boscoe being the more tractable, was placed on the machine first and tied in a seat. Then the signal was given and the merry-go-round started. For just two seconds, as the automatic "band" inside the device started a lively tune, the bear stood on its haunches bewildered. Then it made a mad scramble and bounded oft the now swiftly turning merry-go-round, turning over and over on the grass. It disappeared almost as soon as it regained its feet. A search revealed that the bear had returned to the cage for protection against the "infernal machine." Nellie was placed on the "Flying Dutchman" and tied to a seat. The animal remained motionless until the "band" struck up a "bear," when Nellie Btarted to negotiate a few of the latest dance steps. Whether the bear was actually trying to demonstrate the "bear" with a touch of realism or not, he park superintendent has cot deeded, but so violent were her motions hat it was feared she would damage he apparatus. The merry-go-round was stopped and the bear was taken off.

Romance of Business Culminates at Altar

A charming little romance of real life, had its culmination Sunday in Chicago, when Henry Goldfinger, proprietor of the Palais Royal, married Mrs. N". Polletz, manager of the store. The wedding followed an acquaintanceship of several years, beginning before Mr. Goldfinger purchased the : Richmond store and placed Mrs. Pol letz in charge. Mr. Goldfinger owns another ladles furnishing store at Decatur 111. When it was announced a few weeks ago that he intended to come to Richmond to reside permanently, no one suspectLOCAL POST OFFICE BUSINESS INCREASES Receipts Last Year Amount to Approximately $90,000 Says Handley. DOUBLE IN NUMBER Comparison in W eights Show Office Here Handles More Magazines. Increasing two fold in the last twelve years the business of the local post office has grown more rapidly than the population of the city, which has increased from 19,000 in 1900 to 25,000 according to the latest census.

The receipts twelve years ago said j mighty may aid her in her dire disAssistant Postmaster Lawrence Hand- i tress. ley amounted to approximately $40,- j Six illy nourished, poorly clad chil000. Last year this sum was more than ; dren huddle together in the four-room

doubled, the receipts being approxi- j mately $90,000. To handle the increas-' ing business the force of clerks and ; carriers was increased from time to time, until the postoffice now employs j fifty men. j Growth Steady. This steady growth Handley believes is proof that Richmond is a "panic ' proof" city, since two of the companies ( which used to send more pieces ; through the mail than any thers, have i quit mailing through the local office, When the Gaar-Scott plant was bought by the M. Rumely Company and the International Harvester Company contracted for the Hoosier Drill company's products, the thousands of letters and circulars which formerly went through the local office were handled j at the home offices of the companies. Had not this change been made Assistant Handley believes the receipts for the postoffice would have reached $100,000 two or three years ago. Pieces Double. The number of pieces of mail handled is more than double that of twelve years ago. Each week more than 400,000 pieces of matter are distributed and mailed ! out by the office. The city carriers deliver an average of 100,000 pieces each week, the rural carriers 15.000 pieces, while about 10,000 pass through the boxes and general delivery window. The number of pieces which pass through the canceling machine each week going to other points is 250,000. A comparison of weights shows that the Richmond postoffice handles more magazines than any other city its size in the country. OIL ASSESSMENTS PEEVE TAX PAYERS'! Property Owners Believe Higher Rents May Result Next Year. Dissatisfaction is expressed by approximately sixty-five per cent of the tax payers who are paying street oiling assessments at the office of the countv treasurer. The assessments be. county treasurer. The assessments be come delinquent after November 1. It is contended by property owners who rent their property that the rent will be raised s the result of the high taxes and oiling assessments. The sprinkling assessments were paid by the lessees, though the oiling assessments have been taken against the property owners. LOSES LITTLE WARD Patrolman Vogelsong Unable to Keep Young Girl. Little Lula Griffy, five years old. for nine months the special ward in the home of Patrolman Vogelsong. was ordered to White's Institute today. The patrolman accepted the child after its parents separated. The girl is the daughter of Mrs. Albert Griffy who was arrested after she had given beer to her fourteen-year-old daughter. Patrolman Vogelsong had planned to give the little girl an education, but the court's order precluded the execution of the wish. BOYS GIVEN SHOES; NOW ATTEND SCHOOL Because their parents were unable to buy proper wearing apparel, two boys residing in the south part of the city, were unable to attend school. The matter was reported to the trustee, who furnished them with shoes aad stockiaga.

ed that romance rather than business was at the bottom of the proposed change in location. It was given out that Mr. Goldfinger would arrive in Richmond the first of the present week to take personal charge of the store. On Sunday morn

ing. Mrs. Polletz caught an early train to Chicago, where they were quietly married. During her managership of the Palais Royal Mrs. Goldfinger has won a wide circle of friends in Richmond. Mr. Goldfinger is a successful business man and will be a decided acquisition for the city. PITIFUL IS TALE OF DESTITUTE FAMILY Six Small Children of Mrs. Ida Inman Hungry and Need Clothes. ELDEST SON IS ILL Rent Now Seven Months in Arrears Mother Works in Factory. With three of her six small children sick with whooping cough, all of them ragged and hungry, and her rent bill seven months in arrears, Mrs. Ida Inman, 819 South Sixth street, works hard every day in the week at a Rich mond factory, and prays that the Al cottage on the South Side, waiting quietly but tearfully for the time when 1 the needle-pricked fingers of their mother can no longer earn money to buy them food, or a patient landlord shall turn them into the street. The eldest son has been sick and unable to work. For a time Cora, the 13-year-old daughter worked out and her mother stayed at home with the other children. But the mother was able to earn a dollar more on the week, so Cora is staying at home now while her mother works in the factory. That extra dollar means much to a family of eight. "What do you think will become of you?" cora was asked. Alma, aged 10, cried when she heard this question. Alma has speut part of her life in an orphans' home, and shudders at the thought of returning to it. The father, according to the children, has spent but little of his life with his wife and children. Girl Badly Crippled. The children at home are Hazel, 16, who is badly crippled as the result of hoimr Gtmr-if hv an mitnmnhiia winter, Cora, 13. Alma, 10, Wanda, 7. Ruth. 5. and Morris, the babv, who is 2 vears old.

She is particularly solicitous for the baby. If the others go, she cannot keep him, for there will be no one left at home to care for him. She thinks that if she gives away the smaller children, the rest of them win be able to work and make a living.

SPRING GROVE MAY PUT INJIOEWALKS Brick Road Through District Has Proved Popular Improvement.

RAISE SCHOOLING TAX Large Number of Children Attending City Schools Caused Increase. Sidewalks through Spring Grove to the corporation line is one of the projects the officials will take up as soon as the land about the new brick road is in condition. This was announced at the regular meeting of the town board last evening. The sidewalks will not be made be1fit- llvAl un til UIU IU i"vrt ! tary Woodward. It is believed that all residents of Spring Grove are desirous of having the sidewalks made as the brick road through the district has proved a popular improvement. Contrary to what was anticipated, it was only necessary to raise the school tax five cents per $100. The large number of children attending school In Richmond, the expense of which is incurred by the corporation, made the 1 increase necessary. The school tax ' rate now stands at eleven cents per! $100, having formerly been six cents. No increase was made in any of the other taxes. The sum of $2 annually is paid for every grade scholar who attends schools in Richmond and $4 for every high school student. HOLLARN TO WAR AGAINST "SPOONERS I! Wants Sixty Additional Park Lights in Order to Abate the Nuisance. The necessity of sixty additional lights in Glen Miller park will be presented to the board of works by Supt. Hollarn. There are parts of the Glen in which it Is Impossible to distinguish objects even on the lightest nights at a close distance. Mr. Hollarn does not want the park to be come a haven for "spooners." One of the best places for "spooners" is behind Honeysuckle hill, according to the superintendent, another is on the picnic grounds In the rear of the park, while the spot used for Chautauqua is almost as bad. this place being lighted only during the Chautauqua assemblies.

Offers New Sewerage Plan for East Side

The cheapest way to reach a satisfactory solution of the inadequate sewerage system of the east end. according to Street Commissioner Genn. has been submitted to the city officials by him. While this system, which drains a thickly populated section east of Sixteenth street and north of Main street to the railroad, is considered the most inadequate in the city, less complaint is beard from it than from residents of other parts of the city, the officials say. This territory, comprising almost a square mile, is drained by a sewage system built a quarter of a century ago. when Nineteenth street was the edge of the city. It has been lengthened and spurs have been added to it, but the diameter of the trunk sewer has never been increased. The trunk of this line is a thirty inch tile Into which drain two fifteen inch subtrunks and more than twenty small sewers. At Sixteenth and North E streets it ends, meeting another sewer to form the E street sewer, which is feet in diameter. The E street sewer is inadequate, because it recerves the sewage from the east end sewer, which being on a hillide, fills to capacity at the smallest shower. Proposes Enlargement. The street commissioner believes the city could dispose of the problem efficiently by making the east end sewer a five foot sewer from Twentieth and C streets, where it is Joined by the second of its fifteen Inch branch sewers. From Twentieth street, the sewer runs down C street to Sixteenth mtrmmt jhflM it ncelTea piost ot itft

CHARLES MARLATT IS FAVORITE FOR DEMOCRATIC RACE

T. J. Study, Party Dictator, Ignores Mumbower and . Declares for Marlatt. ATTACKS ZIMMERMAN Study Reads Mayor's Pedigree Delegates to Convention are Elected. MEETING BY WARDS j . i Attendance Small, but Much Enthusiasm Councilme Were Nominated. COUNCILME I THAT DEMOCRATS NAMED. first Ward jeph Walternian. Second Ward Frank Hramcamp. Third Ward-Hen Rush. Fourth Ward Harry Steinbrink. Fifth Ward James Porter. Sixth Ward Charles Harland. Seventh Ward Hans Koll. Eighth Ward-Kd. Wilkina. Delegates and alternates to the Democratic city convention were chosen at ward meetings held last night, and if T. J. Study, who for years dominated the local Democratic party, has his way the mayoralty candidate of the party will be Charles Marlatt. At the fifth ward meeting last night Mr. Study bluntly declared for Mr. Marlatt. At the same meeting was A. A. Mumbower, busily informing thot In attendance that his mayoralty randidacy "was In the hands of hfa friends" and that he would accept the nomination if tendered to him. Mr. Mum bower's candidacy was ignored by Mr. Study, however, and in an address following the selection of delegates and alternates. Mr. Study said he had been informed that Mr. Mumbower had withdrawn from the race; that he did not think Henry Farwig qualified to lead his party to victory, and that the logical man to place at the head of the ticket was Charles Marlatt. No comment was made by Mr. Mumbower when he was declared out of the running by Mr. Study, but he will probably accept his fate without protest and accept the nomination as one of the councilmen-at-large. Goes After Zimmerman. Mr. Study, after disposing of the Mumbower candidacy, paid bis respects to Dr. Zimmerman. Republican mayoralty candidate. "Dr. Zimmerman has no qualifications for the office he now holds." said Mr. Study, "and It is to the nest interests of the city that he be defeated. Doc is merely a political billy goat and is absolutely unable to handle any important Issue brought before him. This was aptly illustrated In the case of the water works contract He was not intelligent enough to understand this matter, lie was absolutely at a loss to know what course to pursue and Heaven alone knows how long he would have permitted it to drift had it not been taken out of his hands by the state commission. It is also a fact that Zimmerman knowB no more about the duties of his office today than he did when elected the first time. There will never be a change in Doc. unless It Is a change for the worse, and I believe he can be easily defeated by the Democrats providea tney pit against him a corapo . tent man like Charles Marlatt. I know of a large number of Republicans who j would support Mr. Marlatt. for they i are sick and" tired of Zimmermanlsm." j His Estimate of Bobbins. water. This sewer and two others are laid in Sixteenth street. By the street commissioner's plan, two of the Sixteenth street sewers would then be turned into the proposed five foot east end sewer. Instead of this pipe emptying into the E street sewer, it would continue along the line of one of the small present Sixteenth street sewers to the river, where It would end. Offers Relief. This plan would relieve the east end situation and the inadequate condition of the E street sewer, holds the street commissioner. The present small size of this sewer, which drains the cellars of the business houses along E street, and in- the surrounding territory in dr f-W-oda and fills tbem with water in Twny periods, may cause the city law suits. Mr. Genn avers that a ten foot sewer will be required for E street Immediately unless the change be suggests is made. The ten foot sewer he says, will ultimately be required to replace the present four and one-half foot Be we., but this enormous expense can be conveniently deferred for fifteen or twenty years, while the properties drained by the sewer will Ind the arrangement satisfactory. Street Commissioner Genn Is now working out plans for relieving the South C street condition. This will be even more difficult to dispose of than the east end matter, because there is no place where the water can be disposed of except through the one sewer. It is probable that the only solution of the problem is the entire re-construction of the system in thai,, lection. J v w ir
