Gates Orchestra Lauded by

Members of Boston Lyrics Campany. A very large crowd, mostly shop men, their wives and families, attended the open house entertainment given by the Y. M. C. A. yesterday from 1 to 7 o'clock. The program was ar- .... ranged by the social work committee, Everard Knollenberg, chairman. At t! o'clock the Boston lyrics, a company of entertainers who provided music, readings and chalk sketches, j t . i : a 1 appeared in the gymnasium, and en-1 . teriained a large audience until four

A., played a' series of three volley ball games, all of which were won by the Busy Men the scores bing 111 to 7 for the first game. 21 to 15 for the second game, and 21 to l!u for the third game. After these games another short program was given by the Boston lyrics, and then a basket ball game was played between the American Seeding Mal'nme rmpariy anl l"e Marr fiatio ; company, in which the former team j i won by a score of .''.4 to 7.

M. C. A. team. A second concert by the dates orchestra and a swimming exhibition from 6 to 6:"0 closed the program for the day. Officials Pleased. The affair was considered by the of-, ficials of the institution to be one of the nio?st successful of its kind in the history of the Y. M. C. A. and they . are especially pleased with the large ; number of shop men who turned out. j The crowd was not too large to be . easiiy handled, anri ny dividing the attractions the committee was able to take care of its visitors in a very satisfactory manner. The Boston Lyrics gave excellent programs and the contests in the gymnasium and at the bowling alley were full of snap and the games were well played. The swimming exhibition especially interested many of those who had never had the privilege of seeing the swimming pool before. The dates orchestra also scored a decided success. This organization is composed of Richmond young men who are preparing for Lyceum work during the summer. They have at- i tracted much favorable comment, and j their playing yesterday was eonsid- I ered especially good. .Mr. Jordan, a member of .the Iloston Lyrics, in ! speaking of the ability of thes voting men said that they were far superior to many orchestras that he had heard in Chautauqua work. Their director. Mr. Philip Gates, has had much e perience in music work of all kinds and it is believed that these voting men will score a decided success when they appear, as they are preparing to, in i nautauqua worn next summer. The following numbers were some of those rendered by the Gates orehes - tra yesterday afternoon: Spirit of Independence... My Little Persian Hose ....

With all-day-long festivities, including a banquet, members of the United Ancient Order of Druids yesterday celebrated the beginning of another year. The annual open house of the organization held on New Year's day, was one of the most successful ever givep by the lodge. Following the banquet short talks were made by Mayor Zimmerman and Mayor-elect Robbins. Charles Graham, deputy Grand Arch, presided as toastmaster. Charles rjeider of Indianapolis, deputy Grand Treasurer of the organization, was a guest. More . th-in four hundred members were pres - . j ,i, ,!.. tut during the day.

COMMISSIONERS ASK

VIEWS OF OPPONENTS Township Official Threatens Incompetency Charge Against Dr. King. With Commissioner Linderman pledged to support him and the other two board members apparently hostile to him, County Health Officer King, it would seem is waging a losing tight for reappointment. Dr. King, however, ' 1 ...., tri ,..,(h., ..

The county commissioners will hold a special meeting Saturday afternoon to investigate the trouble that has existed between the township trustees and Dr. King for several months. Dr. King appeared before the commissioners Wednesday afternoon and gave his version of the difficulty. Invite Trustees. Believing the trustees should be permitted to give their side of the case, thf commissioners invited them to ap pear oeiore me noarq on Saturday atternoon. John Robbins will present the argument ot the trustees. Dr. King will also attend with his cttorney.

After holding a closed conference for several hours yesterday, the commissioners were unable to reach a decision in regard to the appointment of a superintendent of the infirmary. The county board of charities endorsed one candidate and each of the commissioners has a personal candidate, thus providing four to choose from. It is believed the matter will be threshed out by the time the board meets in regular session Monday, when the appointments will be announced. HONEYWELL'S JAB STIRS W, 0, FOULKE Hushes to Defense of Inteffrity of the Rev. Mr. Lightbourn. To the Editor of the Palladium: There are few, if any, of our citizens who command more general re- ' spect and esteem than Ihe Rev Mr. Lightbourn. His modestv sincerit v : and kindliness, his earnest and de- ; voted life which preaches by example quite as much as by precept, have endeared him, not only to his own congregation, by which he is universally loved, but also to very many of us i w ho are quite outside the fold of his j church. Because his conscience did not permit him to co-operate in a re- ; vival movement under the managej ment of one who was unknown to j him, he was assailed last Tuesday I evening in these words, printed in ' the Item among "Hony well Upper- , cuts: " j "Generally, the Episcopal church is all right on revivals, but once in a j while some one-horse, two-by-four preacher in the church stands up and j raises a howl." j As Mr. Lightbourn is the only Episcopal clergyman in Richmond, the ref- : erence is unmistakable. It would indeed have been more manly to have named him than thus to have left his j identity to necessary inuendo. j Is it right thus to urter words calculated to give unmerited pain and i to endeavor to hold up to the scorn ; and derision of his fellow townsmen a man of high character and spotless life merely for doing what he believes 1 l, "V ""- does this really the disciple and rep- ! resentative of Him who commanded his followers to love even their enemies, and who declared "By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples if ye have love for one another."

City Officials Attend Banquet and Partake of Good Cheer.

BY W. R. POUNDSTONE. At least. 175 members of -the Entre Nous club, twenty invited guests, including the principal officers of the outgoing and incoming city administrations, and a newspaper man. yesterday celebrated the advent of the new year and the birthday of Al Morel, the prominent schnitzelbaum chorus director, and Walter Vossler, weather man, orator and water works engineer. This celebration included, as a side line, a banquet and other things. It was a typical appetizing and well pre pared Kntre Nous banquet, the fame! of which has penetrated even to the wilds of Muncie, according to Alfred Bavis. Director Peck Scores. to make the splendid feast of the new year a complete success Roy "Peck directed a small army of volunteer waiters costumed in rural route garbs in a most mas'erly manner. Mayor Zimmerman presided as toastinaster and handled the job in fancy manner, due to his long training in controlling obstreperous councilmen. At his right sat Mayor-elect W. J. Robbins, and in between them little Billy Zimmerman, who is an honorary member of the club, which honor h shares with 'Squire Luther C. Abbott, who filled his usual seat at the head of the table. About these ditrnitaries, on either ! hand, were gathered various outgoing I and ingoing city officials, Jack McMinn, V. A. Bond. Alfred Bavis. I. A. Gormon, Krastus Stover, Will Eversman and Ed. Miller. Charles Must Speak.

CITY REQUESTS C. & O. TO MAKE CHANGES

West Siders to Carry Contention to New Board and Council. Raising the C. & O. bridge over Main street and paving the hill is the only present solution to the grade problem . connected with the Main street bridge I and grade. This was the opinion formed by the board of public works today after a conference with G. K. Jeffries of Indianapolis and A. Gor-; don. local superintendent of the T. H.

Presenting the attitude and needs of the tiaction company Mr. Jeffries: said the roads modern equipment required a clearance of sixteen feet un- j der the bridge. In reply to the sug-1 gestion that the traction cars enter ! the citv over the Doran bridge, he said that would mean ten minutes ad-i d.'d to the schedule between here and Indianapolis. The company is trying j at Dresent to decrease the running time between the two cities as much as possible. If the C. & O. raised its bridge I eighteen inches, Mr. Jeffries said the . . ... . f,s., i ii,,, interurban cars would have a sufficient clearance. This would also do away with the necessity of removing the trolly when the cars pass under ! the street to the car tracks. I I That the utilities commission might j have authority to order the railroad company to raise the bridge was the opinion of City Attorney Bond. Mr. Jeffries said he believed from his experience, the commission would have power to order such action as it tion City Engineer Charles, following the ', board's order, took the matter of raisjn!T the c rossing up with Superinten i in rtpr the bridge was objected to by I p0stmaster Haas, who attended the board meeting. Memhers or tne ooara and Mr. Jeffries were of the opinion that, because of the narrowness of the passage under the bridge, traffic was safer with the present location of the tracks, than if they were in the center of the street. The roadway is wide enough for cars and wagons, while the passage on would not iClIl'l ..... f (ho lracks ' . , , the centor. The West Richmond improvement association plans for eliminating the grade and raising the Main street bridge, compelling the C. & O. to go under the street, was considered impracticable. The board looked upon a grade crossing as out of the question entirely. Further action will be taken when the West Richmond association appears before the board at the final hearing on the paving of Main street hill Monday morning. DR. GROSVENOR REPLIES. West Siders Will Not Change Their Stand Regarding Bridge. "The action of the board of works does not alter our stand on the question of the Main street bridge at all." said Dr. E. R Grosvenor, president of the West Richmond Improvement association, today. "We do not want the C. & O. railroad to raise its bridge. We want the railroad tracks to go under the street. We want the street leveled and widened to full width." The improvement association will take no legal action to prevent the city from making the improvement with brick paving he said. The present board of works, however, he continued, will soon be out of power, and the association will go before the next board and present Its plans. They will ask the county commis sioners tomorrow to nave engineers i prenare blueprints and figures accordjn to tne association s uieas. - - - - t.--.-.

In the meantime no collections villi be taken at the services. "The collections have not been so large as to create surprise, nor yet so small as to create disappointment" S. Edgar Nicholson, chairman of the committee of one hundred, said. e Pointed out that many people have determined to giv a lump sum toward the expenses of the meeting! and so may not hand in their contri-i butions until near the end of the raone' raising period.

Jefferies in City Today, Gives Out Optimistic Statements. COMPANY HAS STOCK That car line to Morton lake will be considered by officials of the T. H.. I. and E. traction company immediately, is the statement of C K. Jefferies. ; presi(lent of tne T H j and f: trap tjon company, under which the Ricli mond city lines are operated. The matter of extending the car line into the park entrance before the concrete is laid on Nineteenth street, was broached to Mr. Jefferies today by K. M. Haas, chairman of the public improvements committee of the Commercial club, when Mr. Jeffries came to whs cuv regarding other improve ment by which the company will be affected. Mr. Jefferies agreed that the com pany could not afford the expense necessary if the construction of a car line to the pr.rk were delayed until after the concrete street had been completed. It is probable the concrete work on the portion of the street over which the proposed line will run, will not start until late in the spring, giving the company enough time to make arrangements and have the track laid. Holds $5,000 of Stock. The proposed extension, which was promised by the traction company when the dam was under construction will start at Nineteenth and K streets. going directly north on Nineteenth street to the lake. Two squares of the street, from J to G streets is included in the Haas concrete road which begins at Tenth and North J streets and continues for two miles around the lake. The traction company holds $5,000 worth of stock in the lake and park company and expects to furnish good service to the park at all times. Officials of the company said they expected the line to be a paying one and Mr. Jefferies said he could see no reason why there should be delay in taking immediate action. Only a short extension will be made at present, but at the time the company purchased the stock, it was agreed that car lines would be extended to any part of the park necessary. WANT FARM JOBS Many Men Seek Information of County Agent. Applicants for positions on farms are very much in evidence nowadays at the office of County Agent Cobb who is conducting an employment bureau for the benefit of Wayne county farmers. During the month of August and September there were many applications for laborers, but the office n-as able to furnish only a few. Now conditions are reversed and there are half a dozen applicants for available places. A few farmers are offering to give their board and lodging for work done during tho winter months.

VILLA ORDERS DEATH OF HUERTA GENERALS

Constitutionalists Sweep City With Artillery FireBurn Custom House. BULLETIN. LAREDO. Tex., Jan. 2. General Pablo Gonzales, commander of the rebels attacking Neuvo .Laredo, pent an orderly early today to the Federals there demanding surrender. The demand wks rejected and the rebel fores moved forward under cover of their artillery. The Federals rallied sharply and the second day of the battle, "which had already resulted in the death or injury of more than 350 soldiers, waa on. During the night hundreds crossed the Rio Grande into this city. Women and children were given prompt attention whll the men who fled includ ing a number of Federal troops were taken into custody by American troops. United States soldiers lined the river bank all night and maintained their position today, to inforce a demand that lives on this side of the border must not be endangered. FEDERALS FALL BACK. Rebels Press Closely on Ojinaga, Doomed To Fall. EL PASO. Tex. Jan. 2. Over a pinpie telegraph wire that was out of commission nine-tnths of the time there trickled Into El Paso today enough details of the battle of Ojinaga to show that the bloody conflict was still raging, with Federal defenders' position continually becoming weaker because of havoc wrought by the artillery of General Ortegas' Constitutionalist forces. The meager dispatches, constantly interrupted, indicate that th cones'had settled down to an artillery duel to which there could be only one end a rebel triumph, he Federal artillery was admittedly inferior when the battle began and several of tbe'r best :uns were put out of ronimi;sion by the rebel artillerymen sooa after tl.:attack began. Federals Defeated. TreEches and buildings from which the Federals fought have been destroyed by exploding shells and even at the Mexican consulate in this city it was admitted today that only a miracle could prevent the defeat of President Huerta's soldiers. During the night the rebel troops drew closer about the Mexican town, as their artillery, directed by Col. Alcade. poured shells into the building that sheltered the federals. The custom house racked by the ladn hail, finally burst Into flames and tho ton defenders were unable to use its ruins for protection because of the intense hat. (Jen. Orozco and Gen. Salazar are literally fighting for their lives, as they have been sentenced to death by Gen. Villa. They will not surrender under any circumstances, but will fle across the Rio Grand into the United States to escape capture. PROTESTS ACTION OF U. S. KIj t'ASO. Tex. Jan. The action of American troops at Presidio in dinarming Federal deserters from Ojinaga and sending them back across the Rio Grande was denounced as "inhuman" today by Pedro Serrano, the Mexican consul here, ami ho made formal protest to the I'nited States government. PERMITTED TO ISSUE SIX MORE LICENSES Commissioners Receive But One Application for New Liquor License. Six applications for liquor licenses, all save one coming from men engaged in the retail business at" the present, will be submitted to the county commissioners at their meeting ' Monday. The new applicant is Z. B. , Pyle. who asks to open a saloon al 424 Main street. Those who are asking for a reissuance of licenses are Charlea E. Merrick. Cambridge City; A. J. Vosmeier. Richmond; Frank B. Sowers. Fast Germantown; Simeon Crockett. Cambridge City, and Harry B. Torbeck, Richmond. Should no more applications be filed and should the applicants be isued licenses, there will still be legal room for six more saloons In Wayne county, as the county commissioners are privileged to issue that many more, under the provisions of an act of the last legislature WOUND IN COOK'S BRAIN WAS HEALED An autopsy on the brain of Richard Cook who was stabbed by Donald Nestor with a pair of scissors discloses the fact that the wound had healed perfectly, before his death. It I thought that the attorneys for the defense will lay great stress upon thU fact in presenting their case. It is probable that a strong galaxy of medical authorities will be summoned by both isides to thresh out this point. Should the defense be successful in showing that the wound did not cause the death of Cook, they will be able to secure an acquittal, it is argued tj lawyers.
