f PARTY TO ATTEMPT TO DRIVE MACHINES ' OVER EATON'S TRACK

(Novel Method of Advertising Decided Upon by Eastern Boosters. (DISTRIBUTE PAMPHLET (Farmers Along Route and Townspeople Welcome Richmond Men. Two automobile cavalcades of RichI mond boosters, intent upon advertising thoroughly in Wayne and adjacent counties the magnitude of the Fall Festival, left this city today. One party headed for the west, the other to- : ward the east. When they return this evening, residents within a radius of twenty-five miles of Richmond will have been informed of the object of the visit of gaily decorated automobiles and their loads of enthusiastic occupants. The day was ideal for the purpose, and when the 126 boosters in thirtytwo machines, decorated with banners and streamers in Fall Festival colors, headed by bugle corps, left the Commercial Club at 9 o'clock this morning, all the elements for a successful trip were present. Roads Good. The roads were excellent for the greater part of the way, although stretches of bad highway now and then militated against complete comfort in the cars. George Ballinger and Theodore Hill were leaders of the tour to the west. Eighteen machines and fifty-six passengers were in the party. Ed. Hasemeier and C. F. McKee had charge of ' the party which headed for the east. Every booster carried an insignia of the Fall Festival, while the cars . were loaded with books, pamphlets and literature telling of the great attraction which Richmond has prepared for its visitors next week. Residents along the country roads and in the towns were showered with literature. Much interest was aroused over the enterprise of the Palladium in printing a special edition for the trip, and the papers were eagerly seized by farmers and townspeople. . Lewlsburg Greeting. As the boosters on the eastern trip approached the town of Lewlsburg they were met by eight automobiles. carrying the mayor of the town, G. N. i Cummer, and twenty-five enthusiastic members of the Commercial club of that place. Mayor Cummer and Wynn Hoerner, president of the Commercial club, made- short talks in which they declared jfwt the Richmond Fall Festival men nad the good wishes of Lewlsburg. Bills and pamphlets, advertising the big three days' event were distributed throughout the streets of New MadlBoh, where the party made a short stop, and at West Manchester and Eldorado. Every farm house was supplied with literature about the festival. Try Novel-Stunt. Decision to attempt a novelty in the way of advertising the festival was made by the party while at lunch at Lewlsburg, and as a result an effort will be made to secure permission from the Preble county fair authorities to drive the automobiles around theTaee track at Eaton when that town Is reached late this afternoon. A tire on car No. 13 was punctured near New Madison but the damage was easily repaired and no delay was encountered. Western Party. When the western party reached Williamsburg at noon, it had covered ; sixty-four miles and recorded an enthusiastic reception at all towns visited. Three punctures and a hot box were the only untoward features of the trip. Crowds turned out at all places to greet the boosters. When the cavalcade reached a town, its members scattered bills and literature in stores and residences. Personal interviews were held with many residents and attention was called to the advantage of the Fall Festival to Wayne county in general. The reception accorded the boosters caused them to believe at noon today that the attendance from the western part of the county would be much greater than at former affairs of this kind in Richmond. The itinerary included the following places: Centerville, East Germantown, Milton, Cambridge City, Dublin, Hagerstown, Greensfork, Economy, Williamsburg, Fountain City, Lynn. Winchester, Union City, Bethel, 'Whitewater and Chester. The party will stop for dinner at the rlly Inn in Williamsburg. M. E. BROTHERHOOD ISSUES YEAR BOOK The year book of the .

T;lo.ve India,", says Miss Rosa Lee Oxer, a missionary to India who has been staying with her cousin Mrs. J. A. Walls, 21 South Tenth street during the last summer. "I would rather be there than any other country on earth. Things are so much more natural and unconventional there. The people are loving and lovable. There is something about the atmosphere of the country which once experienced can never be forgotten. , Miss Oxer, accompanied by ' Miss Elsie H. Gordon, a fellow missionary, left India more than a year ago and after visiting Miss Gordon's brother in London came to America to spend the remainder of their furlough. Long Indian Service. Miss Oxer has been in the mission field in India for the last twenty years while Miss Gordon was born there. Her grandfather was a missionary and held an office under the Indian government. Their work has been under the direction of the board of missions of the Christian church. The two women are planning to return to India but will probably go back under the direction of some other society. Their future plans have not yet been definitely determined. The missionaries say that political conditions in India are different from what would be expected. The natives in the interior generally are peaceful and satisfied with British control. Most of the dissatisfaction is found among the student element in the larger cities. It was for this reason that the capital was recently moved from Calcutta to Delhi. Overseers Home. Miss Oxer has been in charge of a woman's home at Kiiltahar in the United province. Miss Gordon has been superintendent of a school for girls at Deoghar, in the province of Bengal. Miss Gordon will leave in a few days to visit a brother in Louisville. Miss Oxer leaves at the same time to visit her sister, Mrs. J. P. Deardorf at Greenfield. The missionaries say the work in India is accompanied by none of the dangers that are experienced in Turkey and other fields owing to the strong arm of Great Britian which is able to keep "the country In a state of profound peace.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Sept. 23. Temperance versus total abstinence likely will become the vital factor in the election of a new president of the Indiana State Federation of Labor when the delegates are lined up for voting Thursday. The initial session of the annual convention opened today with Acting President Charles Fox, presiding. Mr. Fox, who became acting president of the State Federation by virtue of his position as first vicepresident when Edgar A. Perkins resigned last June to accept an appointment in the state government service, is a resident of Terre Haute, holds the position of secretary-treasurer of the Indiana Mine Workers, and entertains rigid opposition to men who drink, even moderately, filling positions in organized labor bodies. Many believe that Fox lost the presidency at the last convention . through the opposition of the bar-tenders and cigar-mak-ers' delegates. Running against Fox will be Philip j K. Reinbold, president of the Terre Haute Central Labor Union, a cigar-! maker; Henry Fried of Indianapolis, I and Edward Burns, Logan sport The annual report of ex-President Perkins deals exclusively with efforts to accomplish legislation favorable to organized and other laborers at the recent session . of the Indiana legislature. The defeat of the romDensation measures, the shotfirers bill and other i measures are explained in full.

The Central Labor council was resented by three members today at the twenty-ninth annual convention of the Indiana Federation of Labor. Ot - to Beissman represented the Central Labor council of Richmond as a delegate and the cigar makers union, while Charles Graham and William Hartman attended in behalf of the bartenders' union. The Richmond delegates were not given specific instructions as to the stand to take on any questions, but will be allowed to act on their own initiative largely.

Judge Herrick arose and said: "We now appear generally for the respondant, the same counsel appearing generally as had appeared specially and in that connection permit me to say that when these articles of impeachment were first presented the governor was advised that inasmuch as there was some doubt as to the legality of the, impeachment that it was his duty not to surrender the functions of his office until th;it point had been determined.

After articles one. two and six had been read by Attorney Marshall, Judge Herrick launched his brief, saying in part: !This is a government of laws and not of men.

RECOGH1T10H SOUGHT ' IN PIE DISTRIBUTION Colored Voters of G. O. P. Want Political Services Rewarded. SEE PERSONAL BENEFIT Richardson Says Only Two Colored Persons on the City's Pay Roll. C. R. Richardson, an attorney, and president of the recently organized Colored Men's Republican club, today issued a statement assigning his rea sons why the colored voters of the city should support Dr. Zimmerman ! for re-election as mayor. i His two principal arguments are: ; That it is the colored voters' duty to assist In the re-organization of the ' Party to which their race owes a debt ' of gratitude, and that the general sup- j H of tfae colonfd voter8 tQ Rp. v.1l ..m , pUbllCaD t,cket 111 win m political recognition for members of the race. "We do not think the past Zimmerman administrations have been failures, nor do we believe they have Jbeen howling successes," said Mr. Richardson. "Dr. Zimmerman has made mistakes, but we believe his candidacy deserves the support of the colored voters of Richmond, . because with the men who are on the ticket with him will be, able to give the city a good administration. "The colored voters now have been thoroughly organized for the campaign and through this, organization and a display of our strength we anticipate we will be able to secure more recog nition for our services to the party in i the event Dr. Zimmerman is re-elected. nly two colored men now hold city offlces. Patrolman Groville Bundy a,nd isa.a5, N Y.,?bu' Janltor of the city building. We think we are enl tied to more recognition than thi i fJ'L lhe bave not received more recognition in the past Is because we have never demanded it." Attorney Richardson also declared it was the duty of the colored voters everywhere to assist in the re-organization of the Republican party. "We want to bring back the large number of colored men who left the Republican fold and wandered into the ranks of the Bull Moosers." he said. See Personal Benefit. He said some time ago a meeting was held by some of the leading colored men and the question of whether colored voters should support the Republican or Progressive city tickets was brought up, and it was decided their race was not only duty bound to line up with the Republicans, but it was to their interests to do so. The officers of the Colored Men's Republican club are: C. R. Richardson, president; Dr. W. W. Anderson, vice president; H. R. Bass, secretary; , Silas Jones, assistant secretary, and ! Charles Skillens, treasurer. The club will hold regular meetings during the campaign and will organize a drum corps. COAL PRICB STEADY Dealers Expect Raise Soon, However.
