DEATH'S TOLL TWO

Policemen Instructed to Protect Their Lives in Patrol Work. INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 3. Rioting broke out at 11 o'clock this morning when strikebreakers and police attempted to clear Illinois street tracks by moving a crippled car, abandoned since Saturday, onto a side street. Mike Smith, a car "inspector" was seriouBly injured by a pop bottle. Stones bricks and clubs were hurled from nearly every roof. The attempt to clear the track was abandoned. Several arrests were made. The trouble occurred after the car company had rejected offers of union men to help clear the tracks. Many of the most prominent business men in the city are among the 200 named today by Sheriff Porttens to act as special deputies during the etreet car strike. Among the first names on the list were: Fred S. Ayres, proprietor of the largest department store in the city; Carl G. Kisher, William H. Block and others. The men were sworn in and in structed at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Merchants Demand Deputies. The demand for deputies was made by the Merchants Association Sunday, and their members are among the first to receive summones. They will not be used until necessary. A report that members of Battery A, National Guard, had remained at the armory at Sixteenth street and Senate avenue, during the night and were at present in the armory, proved to be true. -However, it was stated that the assembling of men and officers had nothing to do with the strike situation. Chief of Police Hyland in instructing bis men at roll call today told them to protect their lives at any cost. The chief told his men that he had heard some of them were not doing their duly and urged them all to remember their duty as patrolmen. About 100 men were patrolling the troubled districts at 9:30 this morning and a reserve squad was held at the police station for. emergencies. The crowd began to assemble during the forenoon but was unusually quiet. Several of the strikebreakers now being quartered in the Louisiana etreet car barns were spirited from this place to the West Washington street car barns, where it is thought cars will be run if an attempt is made to take any out today. The death of Isaac Fleisher, 24, a strikebreaker, from a bullet fired by a fellow strikebreaker during an attack on the Louisiana street barn, brought the fatalities of the strike up to two.

PRESIDENT REVIEWS W, C, T. U. PROGRESS Lillian M. Stevens Also Presents Number of Recommendations. BARONESS ATTENDS Governor Leon Taylor of New Jersey Addresses Organization. BY MARY E. WOODARD. ASBURY PARK, N. J., Nov. 3. The fortieth annual convention of the National W. C. T. U. opened Friday with an attendance of 500 delegates and as many more non-delegated visitors. Among the latter were more than a score of distinguished temperance workers from all parts of the world. The feature of the opening day's program was the address of Mrs. Lil- j lian M. Stevens, of Portland, Me., j which reviewed in full the progress I of the temperance cause during the last year and closed with a number of recommendations to the Unions at large. Prohibition Is Goal. National constitutional prohibition, Mrs. Stevens said, was the goal toward which the temperance workers are striving. She devoted considerable attention to the progress made in the individual states and to the con-1 sequent educational effect upon the j general public. The Kenyon-WTebb j law was cited as the greatest national i prohibition victory ever achieved. The passage of the Mann white slave act also was mentioned as a victory for the cause. Woman suffrage was dwelt upon at some length, and Mrs. Stevens declared that wherever the ballot had been given to women it had proved a weapon in behalf of temperance. The opium traffic, polygamy, the Gothenburg system of regulation and liquor advertising all were held up by Mrs. Stevens as enemies which the temperance workers would seek to destroy. The president devoted a part of her address to the spread of temperance sentiment and mentioned the "white ribbon regime" of the national administration. She spoke also of the example of Kaiser Wilhelm and other royal temperance advocates abroad. Fights Army Canteen. She concluded her speech with the following recommendations: That the organization continue its opposition to the army canteen; that it fight against permitting the mail to be used in advertising alcoholic bev erages; that it work for a constitutional amendment prohibiting polygamy; that steamship companies be petitioned to discontinue the sale of intoxicants upon the high seas and especially to their sailors; that more attention be given to the use of posters and placards in fighting the evils of strong drink and that temperance exhibits be attractively arranged to show the relation of alcohol to crime, delinquency, degeneration and poverty. This is the fifteenth year Mrs. Stevens has served as president of the national body. Mrs. Stevens succeeded Francis E. Williard at the latter's death in 1898. On World Tour. The Baroness du Laveleys, president of the Belgium W. C. T. TJ. who is on a world tour in the interest of temperance greeted the assembly and said her visit to Asbury Park was the first visit she had ever paid to a "dry town. Saturday was devoted to hearing committee reports and letters from Unions in other parts of the world. Governor Leon R. Taylor addressed the gathering in the evening. CAT STARTS FIRE. NEW YORK, Nov. 3 A cat in some manner started a fire in the house at 110 Hoyt street, Brooklyn, today, which nearly cost the life of six-year-old George Butler, who was carried out unconscious. The boy regained consciousness on reaching the open air and begged the iremen to save bis pet cat but the cat perished.

"WHITE SLAVERS" SOUGHT BY GORMON Tennessee Fugitives Reported to Be Hiding in Wayne County. Chief of Police Gormon made a fruitless effort yesterday to locate Na than Blakely of Johnson City, Tenn., j wanted on a white slave charge. The chief does not believe Blakely nor the woman he eloped with are in this locality. Saturday evening police headquarters received a message from United States Marshal Williams at Johnson City, stating that Blakely and a woman had fled to Wayne county, that a man named Dave Weaver working on a farm near Boston, Ind., could probably furnish some information concerning the fugitives, and that they should be arrested immediately on a white slave charge because Mrs. Blakely was pursuing her erring spouse and his affinity with the avowed intention of killing her rival for Blakely's affections. Sunday Chief Gormon located Weaver on the Druley "farm near Boston, but Weaver said he had not seen Blakely and his affinity and did not believe they would come to this part of the county. Weaver said he formerly lived at Johnson City and knew Blakely well. He said Blakely had a family consisting of his wife and eight children, and that if Mrs. Blakely had threatened to kyi the woman with whom her husband ran off he believed her capable of carrying out her therat in the event she ever met the woman. Weaver also stated that he did not know what made the Tennessee authorities believe Blakely and his affinity would come to Wayne county. Chief Gormon notified Marshal Williams Sunday afternoon that no trace of Blakely could be obtained. TIMOTHY NICHOLSON OBSERVES BIRTHDAY Natal Day Quietly Celebrated by Children in Jhe Home Circle. Surrounded by members of his family and immediate friends, Timothy Nicholson yesterday celebrated his eighty-fifth birthday. There was no attempt at a formal celebration of the day. There was a family dinner at the Nicholson home on South Ninth street attended by his children, John Nicholson, Tom Nicholson, Mrs. John H. Johnson and their families and Mrs. William Coffin of Wnittier, Cal., and her two children. Eighteen in all sat down to the birthday dinner. In the afternoon between fifty and seventy five members of the Friends church with which Mr. Nicholson has been so long identified called at his home to offer him the congratulations of the day. Following the morning services at the East Main street meeting house the members of the Sunday school and the Christian Endeavor presented him with a beautiful bouquet of chrysanthemums. The flowers were presented by Folger P. Wilson after paying a fitting tribute to Mr. Nicholson for the good he has done his city and his church. ! After the services Mr. Nicholson was ! compelled to hold an impromptu re- j ception as the members of the congregation filed past and extended him j their congratulations and best wishes. TOOTH LODGES IN CHILD'S WINDPIPE OWENSBORO, Ky.. Nov. 3. A slip of the dentist's forceps caused a tooth j to lodge in the windpipe of five-year-; old Cynthia Haynes. The child had I ceased to breathe when a physician ! made an incision in her windpipe with ! a knife. The tooth dropped out and the child is recovering. j

The board of works and Mr. Dill are anxious for the Utilities Commission to act on the case, that specific rules may be made governing extension of mains and hydrant rentals. To avoid condemnation proceedings of a strip of land belonging to the Starr Piano company an agreement was ratified by the board, by which the city assumed the responsibility for the sewer crossing the property to the Whitewater river. The board had instituted proceedings to condemn the land as an ex tension of Johnson street, getting the' ; privilege of using it for sewer purposes. The responsibility assumed by the city. Attorney Bond said, was only that which it was legally bound to assume when creating a public nuisance of any kind. Strip Given City. Frank Bussen, administrator for the 1 estate of John Bussen, dedicated an ' eight and a half foot tract of land on I Southwest Ninth from Southwest A to Main street to the public to make the street fifty feet in width. Howard Dill reported that a private agreement had been made with the Kingsbury and Fletcher company to furnish water for adequate fire protection of the window shade factory which will be operated in the building of the old chandelier plant.

HYDRANTS

Progressive Again Declares He Has Promised No. Appointments.

Mayor Zimmerman, at the meeting of the board of public woras this morning, made a brief political address, as follows: I wish to declare that I will be j Later in the forenoon Mayor Zimmerman appeard in the news room of the Palladium and announced that any report which might be circulated that h had u-if h,tr:i iv n f rom th racff i was absolutely false and no credence should be placed in it. "1 wish to state that I will be elected mayor again by a substantial majority, no matter what any one may say to the contrary. I am in the race to say and the next mayor will be the Doctor,'' said Dr. Zimmerman. Shortly before noon five hundred handbills prepared by the Republican city committee came off the press minus the union label. When this was discovered thoe bills which had not been distributed were tossed into the political discard. Iater, bills with the union label were distributed. Contain Denial. The following is a copy of one of the bills: I am informed that Attorney William H. Kelley is circulating the false report that I am about to withdraw from the race. I am' stronger than ever. I will win this fight. I di not appoint Kelley city attorney for reasons sufficient to myself. Any one who knows me also knows that I never pull down my flag, but fight to a finish. Rudolph Leeds asked me to explain my good administration. I will. I took the city four years ago with a debt of $20,000 left over from the Schillinger administration. Thev had $125,000 over and above the taxes. They spent it. The taxes were the same as now $1.10 no higher now than then. I paid the $20,000 debt and lived through the last administration without any debt hanging over us. There Is no debt. There Is no Increase in taxes. During my administrations there have come through my personal efforts these good things to Richmond : A new Pennsylvania depot; two new fire houses; remodeled the East End hose house; removed the telegraph poles from Main street; street car tracks removed from Glen Miller; four miles of brick streets made; motor fire truck added; Glen Miller put in excellent shape; best macadam streets in Indiana; miles of cement side walks and gutters; a good government building; the Municipal Light Plant, the best In the state. The wages of street labor were $1.50 per day now $2.00. There is better order, better police administration, and less drunkenness than ever. I have been Mayor for the people and not for any one man or any man who wants to be a political boss. I am for the whole people and not for Rudolph Leeds' dictation. The statements of the Palladium have been purposely misleading during this campaign. Yet, in boosting Richmond for the Fall Festival, Rudolph Leeds said in the Palladium: "The Panic Proof City, The Best City In the West, The Best City Government." If that was true then if Is true now, and must be due to efficient citv government. W. W. ZIMMERMAN. Is. H. Kelley Makes Denial. "Dr. Zimerman has misconstrued my motives in regard to my opposition to his re-election," said Mr. Kelley this afternoon. I regard Dr. Zimmerman as a political hog and an incompetent. I earnestly want to see the Republican party reorganized, but I know such a thing is impossible in Richmond so long as it is handicapped by Zimmerman. "I have never advocated withdrawal of Republican support from Dr. Zimmerman in favor of Farwig. I believe such action would most certainly elect Mr. Robbins. It would be a political trick too easily seen through by the voters of Richmond. "Dr. Zimmerman's charge that I am opposed to him because I was not appointed city attorney is false. I have a copy of a letter in my possession in which I declined that office because Dr. Zimmerman required all his appointees to present to him undated resignations. I would not serve any administration which required such action." Another Report Out. It was reported today that before evening handbills would be distribut- J ed charging that both Robbins and Progressive Chairman Brooks had offered appointments to men in return for their support of the Progressive ticket. "I have stated over my own signature In the public press that I have offered no one a political appointment." Mr. Robbins remarked when asked about this report. "Any last minute charge that sought to influence voters with patronage offers brands itself as false." FARMER IS INJURED ALIGHTING FROM CAR In alighting from a belt car before it stopped Saturday evening at Twentieth and Main streets, Lawrence Hiatt. a farmer living near Whitewater, was buried violently to the street, sustaining a badly sprained back and suffering painful bruises. He was carried to the home of George Reid. and Dr. Colburn was summoned to attend his injuries. Later In the evening he was taken to his home. His injuries,' although painful, are not serious.

DR. ZIMMERMAN THIRD

Fight for Mayor's Office Overshadows Councilmanic Contests. Tonight brings to a clos a very hotly contested municipal campaign and a most unusual one for Richmond because four political parties have entered tickets in the contest, tha Progressive, Republican, Democratic and Socialist. lp until the last citv . elUo.n' in 1909- il omary for oniy me Kepubltcan and Democratic parties to dispute the control of tha city government, but since that tim the Progressive party has been born and has become the dominating political organization of Richmond, and the Socialist party has increased so much in strength that it must now be considered a factor in any political contest. Tonight when the last eleventh hour argument has echoed and died away the municipal campaign of 1913 will pass into the political history of Richmond with another unique record to its credit; not a red light has been burned, not a drum corps has paraded th streets and only one political rally has been held. Augurs New Spirit. The total absence or this old time campaign procedure is augured as a significant recognition of the fact that the voter today is a new type of citizen who thinks for Himself, votes for principles, not parties, and considers the merits of candidates on facts alone. Early in the contest campaign managers for Dr. Zimmerman considered having a street parade with the usual torch lights, red fire and drum corps, but after sober consideration, it was decided to abandon this plan and hold a political rally, which was attendeu by less than 200 people. Immediately plans for holding other Republican rallies were abandoned. There was Just one ghost of former political campaigns to enter the arena this fall. It was witnessed Sunday at a local hotel when a former resident of this city, who for several years controlled the political destinies of Richmond and Wayne county, held court in the foyer. He was waited upon by several of his old lieutenants, who are now supporting Mayor Zimmerman's candidacy for re-election. Robbins Shows Strength. The outcome of the battle of ballots tomorrow was the 'principal topic of discussion today and it appeared to be the general opinon that AVI 11 J. Robbins, the Progressive mayoralty candidate, would be victorious. Well informed men of various political faiths have been estimating Robbins plurality today anywhere from 300 to 600. Henry Farwig. the Democratic mayoralty candidate. Is generally conceded second place and Dr. Zimmerman is favored by the majority for third place, although there have been a number of men who Have expressed tne opinion that Charles Sehl. the Socialist candidate, will finish in third place. All parties have taken precautions to get out a large vote and it Is expected that between 5,300 and 5,500 out of an estimated voting strength of 6,000. will visit the polls. In the clerk's race, in which a great deal of interest is being taken. It Is generally predicted that the successful candidate will be Baits A. Bescher. the Progressive nominee. Isaac Burns, the Democratic candidate for clerk, has been making a good race, and will probably finish second. Result Problematical. It is difficult to forcast the political complexion of the next council for there will be less of a party vote cast for the various councllmanic candidates. It is believed, however, that the majority of the new councilmen will be Progressives. All today there were rumors afloat that a political coup would be sprung by this or that party late this afternoon. "It is a foregone conclusion that any eleventh hour story which might be launched in the hopes of bringing disaster upon some condidate. Is unworthy of consideration. It is nearlv always the case that political rumors set in circulation the last hours of the campaign are purposely held off until that time to prevent contradiction," was the comment of a political leader today. VOCATIONAL TRAINING WILL BEJISCUSSED Purpose of New Course in Schools to be Talked on by Teachers. The purpose of vocational training in the schools will be discussed in the morning program of the third session of the town and township teachers Institute which will be held next Saturday in the high school. Each of the five sections of the InetW tute will hear a discussion on "Object of Teaching Agriculture," and "Purpose of Teaching Cooking." The usual subject. "Everyday Problems In Teaching" will also be discussed before each section. -Modern Social Problems." as outlined by the state educational department, will form the topic of discussion for the teachers in the afternoon,
