BLIND TIGER RAID BRINGS LIQOOR LAW OFFENDER $75 FINE (Mayor Robbins Gives Colored "Bartender" Stiff Assessment for Selling Beer Without Liquor License.

(POOL ROOM OWNER ALSO IN LAW'S TOILS ' Executive Demands That Minors Be Kept Out of Billiard Halls Will Enforce Law Strictly. Selling liquor without license and permitting juveniles to loaf in poolrooms is going to be very unprofitable ! business so long as Mayor Robbins presides over police court, as Frank Simmons, a white man, and Roscoe Clayburn, a colored man, are willing !to testify. Simmons, proprietor of a cigar store I and poolroom on North Eighth street, , near E, and Clayburn, "bartender" at ) a resort for colored people on North Fourteenth street, were each lined $75 and cost this morning by the mayor. Both entered pleas of not guilty to a charge 'of selling without a license. ; Olavburn will serve out his sentence In the bastile. "Under the affidavits filed against the men, it was impossible for me to ' give them jail sentences as well as ; fines," Mayor Robbins said after court , adjourned. "If it had been possible ' to substantiate 'blind tiger' charges I r would have given them the limit." Mayor Explains Stand. 1 In court, after he had assessed the fines Mayor Robbins announced that , the illegal selling of liquor and the practice of permitting minors to loaf in poolrooms were two offenses he ' would not tolerate, and that viofators ' of this edict could expect no mercy ' from him. To newspaper men the mayor stated that there had been several complaints about minors being permitted to congregate in certain pool rooms, and he was pleased that he had had an opportunity to make an example of one of the proprietors. Some of the poolrooms where boys are permitted to loaf, the mayor said, were also "blind tigers." "Some people imagine because Rich- , raond voted wet, liquor law violations I will be tolerated," said the mayor. r "These people are Badly mistaken. Illegal sales of liquor will not be tolerj ated by the public, by the saloon "keepers or by myself." Clayburn's Romance. Clayburn recited to the court an interesting romance of love and jealousy as his defense. He denied selling John Cheatum, colored, a pint bottle of beer Sunday, and said Cheatum was "sore" at him because he had taken Cheatum's "gal" away from him. "He wouldn't fight it out, y' honor, no sah! Helawed me. He's jest naturally sore agin me cause he thought I took his gal away from him. Right's right, y' honor." Cheatum testified that he entered the North Fourteenth street resort, the proprietor of which is John Poison, after knocking on the back door. He said he paid Clayburn 15 cents for a pint of beer. Clayburn's testimony that he placed a bottle of beer on the table, but never offered to. give" it to Cheatum was refuted by another witness, who said he had seen Clayburn hand the bottle of beer to Cheatum. Clayburn denied receiving any money ; for the beer, but expressed the hope that if Cheatum intended to pay for it he would do so soon. Officer Lawler testified he entered i the Poison place and found six people in it. Cheatum hid a bottle of beer under his coat. There were several empty bottles found back of the stove. Simmons was convicted of selling ; a half-pint of whisky Saturday night to Thurman Mitchell, 21; Howard King, 16, and William Moss, 16. The Mitchell and King boys testified they entered the cigar store, paid 35 cents for a half-pint, and that Simmons placed it on a pool table. They drank from it on the basement steps. Simmons made no statement in his own behalf, notwithstanding the fact he pleaded not guilty. Officers Bundy and Menke testified they saw the three boys enter the Simmons place, saw Mitchell hand Simmons something, and then saw Simmons go upstairs, returning in a fw minutes and placing a bottle on the pool table. i

Jerry, the Office Boy, Discourses on Waste of His Foot Power

Jerry, the office boy, was on the job early today and after a few- perfunctory flirts of the good-as-new feather duster, he settled down to peruse the Sunday paper before his employer, or Myrtle, the stenographer, broke in on him. As he turned over the pages his eyes caught an interesting headline. It told how Dr. E. H. Arnold in St. I-ouis, Mo., had informed a gathering of business men that "the average office boy, through lack of control over the muscles of his legs, wastes as much energy in walking about the office each day as it would take to shovel fifteen tons of coal." The doctor said" other things, too, to the same effect. All of which Jerry read interestedly. Finally he dropped the paper ttnd addressed the waste basket. "Well, waddaye think of that?" asked Jerry. "No control, eh? So I got control and speed, too. This 'doo' says an office boy dragging his feet instead of swinging 'em forward of their own let's see, m-o-m-e n t-u-m well, whatever the doc said, makes the mus cleg lift twenty pounds. He says this wastes enough energy to shovel fifteen tons of coal a day. I'll have to I keep this from the boss, if I don't I can see myself hoisting the anthracite into tbe boss' cellar next season,

MAYOR WANTS BAH Oil STREET FAKIRS Robbins Will Refuse license to Quacks if .Law .Gives Him Power.

Mayor Robbins today threatened to bar from the city a certain class of fakirs who have for years done a thriving business with that class of citizens known to the flim-flamming fraternity as "suckers." The fakirs Mayor Robbins has taken a stand against are those who invade the city during the spring and summer and sell "cure-alls" and trinkets of various kinds on the street corners. "These fellows are, almost without exception, cheats and they engage in unfair competition with responsible local dealers," said the mayor today. "The street corner quacks sell concoctions which are of no benefit to their victims and which frequently are harmful to them. The old fashioned street corner 'medicine show' is no longer tolerated in Richmond, and there is no reason why the quacks Bhould be permitted to ply their trade here. To see a bunch of these frauds holding forth on various street corners gives the town a 'jay' appearance." Quacks and other street fakirs have been permitted to operate in Richmond in the past if they took out a license. In the future they will be denied licenses if the mayor finds he has : authority to take such action. If, however, such action would be in conflict to an ordinance he will ask council to amend it satisfactorily. At Anderson, Ind., the mayor recently put the ban on street fakirs and his action has been commended by the press all over the northern part of the state. It is understood the mayor of j Anderson ruled against them on the 'ground they were public nuisances. FIX TWENTY MILES OF COUNTY'S ROADS W. O. Jones and Assistants Hope to Cover All Highways Once Before First of May. $21,500 FOR REPAIRS Washouts on Liberty and Straight Line Pikes - Call for Several Hundred Dollars' Repair Work. Twenty miles of the National road through Wayne county are now completed by the road department, at an average cost of $17 a mile. The road is in the condition of a new one, and will be kept in that condition. W. O. Jones, highway commissioner, supervised the work. The road has been graded and rolled with the steam roller. The old material, which had been forced by travel to the sides of the road, was utilized, and with the grader scraped to the crown of the highway. No new material was used. By May 1 every mile of the 240 constituting Wayne's county's free gravel and macadam roads, will have been gone over with the graders, some parts twice. The work is progressing rapidly, the assistant superintendents being able to secure plenty of help. After the first grading the roads will be kept in good condition continually. The roads department will have about $21,000 to spend during the year. Mr. Jones expects to leave $8,000 at j the close of this year with which to I start next year's work, but sees a place to spend all ot tne remainaer or me $26,000 expected. One of the big repair jobs the department will undertake is that on the liberty pike near Beeler's hill. There was a $500 washout on the road while it was under construction by Contractor Hipskind, and through a court case, the county must pay for the repair. There will be a fill on the Straight Line pike costing $200, and another on the centerville and Abington pike costing almost as much. At the end of the summer all county roads will begraveled for the winter. This is expected to be as big an expenditure as the spring road working. "I guess the doc never saw me winging it along to the movies. "I'll bet there was 20 pounds behind that kick I gave the pooch when I came out of the movies in today's paper. Speed? "This doc says an office boy takes 1,500 steps a day. That's an awful lot of steps. The doc says they train boy3 and girls wrong in schools. I wonder if Myrtle was trained that way. With that new dress of hers she doesn't take over half a step at a time." Jerry paused and reflected. "At that," he said at last, "the doc has it pegged almost right in spots. He says 'the power to hold the hands and feet still is of more value than the development - of big muscles.' If that's right, I'm Frank Gotch. Holding the hands and feet still is my dish. I wonder if the boss knows that?" Just then, down the room, sounded the pltter patter of feminine feet. "Good morning, Miss Myrtle," said the cub. "Down bright and early this morning, eh?" "Yes, isn't it a splendid morning, Mr. Cub,' spoke Myrtle as the doorknob turned. "I feel as if I'm walking on air these Spring mornings." And Jerry leaped from his bench and began swinging bis legs forward of their own m-o-m-e-n-t-u-m well, what the doctor said.

VELASCO OUTWITS VILLA III RETREAT FROM JALLEN CITY Federal Leaders Gets Main Army Out of Torreon While Rear Guard Stubbornly Fights Rebels. -

CITIZENS GET OUT IN ARMY RETREAT Rebel General Finds Federal Armies Advancing and Fears to Pursue Vanquished Division of Huerta. TORREON, Mex., April 6 That General Refugio Velasco, the Federal commander, who, for twelve days fought off the attacks of Constitutionalist soldiers upon Torreon, had outwitted General Villa at the final moment of the conflict and had succeedj ed in leading from the doomed city the greater part of his army became known today for the first time when Indian runners dispatched by General Benavides and General Hernandez, arrived here with an urgent plea that more troops be sent to aid the rebel forces that are pursuing the Huerta troops. These couriers brought word that the cavalry of General Hernandez had ascertained that Velasco was in command of several thousand men, instead of the pitiful remnant that the Federals had left in Torreon. Following Velasco's army is a long train of civilians who fled with the Federals rather than remain in the city after it had been captured by the rebels. Villa has been placed in a peculiar predicament by the advices from his two generals. His greatest desire is to destroy utterly Velasco's army, but with fresh Federal armies marching from two directions, he is afraid to waken the troops now holding Torreon, since the flight of Velasco. Civilians Flee. The flight of the civilians from Torreon began on the night that Villa captured Gomez Pallacio, General Velasco, himself wounded in the fighting at Gomez Palacio, recognized that he would be unable to hold out long, and stealthily began the withdrawal of his troops from the city, leaving a . merely haffdful at strategic points. While these soldiers fought to their death, Velasco conducted the main body of his army to safety. Before their retreat the Federals buried large stores of ammunition at various points but these hiding places have been betrayed to Villa, and he has recovered the stores. The rebel commander today reiterated his order that 600 Spaniards sus'pected of giving aid to the Huerta government 6hould be deported. THUGS BLOW SAFE, STEALING $20,000 Night Guards Bound and Gagged Watch While the Cracksmen Loot Store. BOSTON, April 6. Three armed men bound and gagged two night watchmen in the- department store of Timothy Smith & Co., at Roxbury, early today, blew the safe and escaped with checks and cash estimated at $20,000. Every available policeman in Boston is hunting for the robbers. The car lines, railroad stations and parkways are covered in the hope of trapping the cracksmen before they can escape from the city. After knocking one watchman senseless the burglars waited an hour for the second watchman to appear and then bound and gagged both. Leaving them tied to posts the robbers blew open the safe with four charges of nitroglycerine. PROBE INTO WRECK THAT JCILLS THREE Wabash Officials Seek to Place Blame for Smashup At Attica, Ind. ATTICA. April 6. Investigation to place the blame for the collapse of a Wabash railroad bridge, which caused the deaths of three persons, the fatal Injury of another and more or less serious injuries to thirty-five more passengers on Wabash limited train No. 4, was started today. Three cars and the engine of the fast train plunged through the wrecked bridge into the Wabash river. The fact that the day coach, which alighted with one end in the water, was of steel construction, saved the lives of many passengers. The steel mail car saved the six clerks who were on duty when it took the plunge. SHOOTS PLAYMATE SHOWING HIM HOW NEW ALBANY, Ind., April 6.

110 STREET OILING BY CITYiCOHTRACT Board of Works to Permit Private Contractors to Do Work This Year.

The board of , public works practically has decided not to have street oiling done this year under the direct supervision of the city. Next year, however, the board hopes it will be possible for the city to do all the oiling. "The board is considering a plan to have all streets oiled this year under private contract, the parties circulating the petition to be responsible to the contractors for payments," said Mr. McMinnoday. "Under this plan the city wo. .OTOiri3t streets before! ;yV,4-WtFli would be a great. saving to itl ormtractors and in appreciatKi jOf ywhich the contractors waul jMCfct&tft oil all street interie v-b wltnont cost to the city or property owners. fBoard Must Act. "No streets can be oiled until a petition is presented to the board and favorably acted upon. Petitions for the oiling of North Fifteenth street and Richmond avenue have been filed and I understand a petition is being circulated among property owners on North Ninth street." The annual "house cleaning" work of the street department is now in progress. The alleys have been cleared of all ashes and in a short time the streets will be cleaned. The paved streets will be thoroughly scoured as soon as the street flusher arrives. Resolutions were confirmed today for cement walks on North J street, from Tenth to Twelfth cement curbs, gutters and walks on South G from Eighth to Thirteenth, with a gravel roadway from Ninth to Thirteenth.

Weakness of students in spelling the King's English nas been apparent at the institution for many years, and the Anglican club has started a movement to remedy the evil.

UNDERWOOD FIGHTS TO DEFEAT HOBSON IN STATE PRIMARY

Alabama in Throes of Hottest Political Fight Waged Since Civil War to Elect Senator. UNDERWOOD BACKED BY PARTY LEADERS Prohibition Forces Oppose 4S; v on Liquor Problem.. .....,. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., April 6. Lines of voters began forming at all the voting places in Alabama this morning more than a hour before time for the polls to open. During the morning in Birmingham several hundred persons waited at every polling place to cast their ballots the first popular vote on United States senator. Boosters of Congressman Underwood and for Congressman Hobson were equally confident. It was believed that Underwood's majority would not be nearly so large as had been predicted. The primary election is furnishing the most bitter and spirited political fight over waged in this state. It will decide the Democratic nominations for governor. United States senators (one for a long and one for a short term), congressional representatives and minor state officials. Alabama being overwhelmingly Democratic, a nomination is equivalent to an election. The real fight in the primaries centers around the nomination for the long term senatorship, with Oscar Underwood, Democratic floor leader of the house, and Representative Richmond P. Hobson as the contesting candidates. Senatorial Fight Hot. Seldom, if ever, has a senatorial contest furnished such a bitter fight and and aroused so much interest, both within and outside the state. This is due to the prominence of both candidates, and the issues involved. This is the first primary held in Alabama under the new direct election of senators law. National party leaders and even the Democratic administration have been assisting Underwood in his campaign. His defeat would mean the repudiation of the tariff law, of which he was tbe author, by the people of his own state. - Underwood has been making his campaign chiefly on his past record in congress, drawing particular attention of his tariff work. Hobson has made his stand almost entirely on the prohibition question with a side issue of attacks on Underwood, charging that the latter was "a tool of the liquor interests and an emissary of Wall street," and directing attention to the contribution of Thos. F. Ryan to Underwood's campaign fund, when Underwood was seeking the presidential nomination in 1912. Should Hobson be able to control the entire prohibition sentiment in the state, according to close students of Alabama politics, he would have an easy majority, as fifty nine out of the sixty-seven counties are dfy under the local option law. LOOK FOR ADVERSE REPORTJW REPEAL Administration Forces Expect to Win Despite Senate Committee. WASHINGTON, April 6 Consideration of the bill repealing the free tolls clause of the Panama Canal act will begin tomorrow before the Senate committee on interoceanic canals. Indications are today that consideration of this measure will far exceed one week to which Senator Owen, leader of the administration forces, wants it limited. Representatives of commercial interests in New Orleans, Los Angeles, and other cities will demand a hearing before the committee in order to present objections to the repeal and if all the requests are granted it is expected that final action in the committee will not be taken until some time in May. Administration leaders make no secret of the fact that they expect the committee to make an adverse report and they declare they will be able to win when the measure reaches Senate floor. DENIES REPORT.

Young Rockefeller Says Holdings Are Not Majority of Stock. WASHINGTON. April 6. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., today denied before a sub-committee of the house on mines and mining that the Rockefeller holdings in the Colorado Fuel and Iron company constituted a majority control. He admitted that he was merely a "dummy" director representing his father's interest in tbe company. It had been charged that the oil king's control of this concern was the chief factor in the Colorado coal strike. Rockefeller said that he was only so much of a stockholder as would qualify him as a director. He said that the company paid no dividends for many wears until in 1913 it had accumulated about 75 per cent of which 35 per cent was paid to'the stockholders at that time.

Indications are that expenditures of the county during March were the heaviest of the last year and although the county commissioners have prepared no figures on the bills, they spent the afternoon in going over and allowing the claims for the month. Twelve resident freeholders of Washington township petitioned the commissioners, through an attorney, for a change in the course oi the road coming into Milton from Cambridge City. Three viewers on the change will be appointed by the commissioners soon. The present road, which curves along the river was washed out by the flood a year ago and no road has been bftilt there since. It is proposed to straighten the road away from the river and raise its level - five feet, which would be above the 1913 high water mark. If the improvement is made it will be paid for out of the balance of the flood fund appropriated last year. Two liquor licenses were renewed and one transferred. In addition to that liquor business, the commission ers granted the license of George Sowers, who died sixty days ago, to John Seidel, of East Germantown. The estate of Sowers will be refunded the balance on the unexpired license. Seidel will conduct a saloon in the same location as the Sowers saloon in East Germantown. PENHSY TAKES TWO TRAINS OFF SUNDAY Retrenchment Policy Causes Patrons Some Trouble in Leaving the City. Many patrons of the Pennsylvania railroad who were not well informed as to tbe changes which have been made in the time schedule within the last week, were surprised . upon being unable to leave and enter the city yesterday at times when they thought the trains ran. In all, three trains came off the Richmond division of the Penney lines. An accommodation. No. 43, due in Richmond at 12:40 p. m. from Cincinnati, was discontinued as a Sunday train. Nos. 6 and 12. from tbe east and west respectively, were also removed from the schedules. The removing of the trains Is said to be a part of the recently adopted retrenchment policy of the Pennsylvania railroad pending the settlement of the 5 per oent freight rata increase.

' Spectacular Bet by Informingt House bf Lcssof Dia . mond Wallet: - ; .. i f ;-rrjj A v. " " '"":- :-; i V i ; ' A' bet tit $100 to $1. offered at th Westcott hotel by J. Rogers, salesman, for a New York diamond company,, that a certain swell "lobster palace" in Giddy Gotham was located at the corner of Forty-ninth street and Broadway, and lost when investigation show ed the cafe was located at Forty-eighth and Broadway, financially crippled the sporty Mr. Rogers, and the Pinkerton detective agency Is now attempting to ascertain his whereabouts. The Pinkertons got on his trail after Rogers wired his company, following the loss of his -long shot" bet. that he became separated from a case of diamonds on a Pennsylvania train, somewhere between Hamilton and Richmond. Rogers' charge that he had lost a number ofvaluabIe gems is not believed by the local police, who say that while he was in this city he displayed a collection of sparklers worth thousands of dollars. Backs His Statement. Rogers made his spectacular wager la6t Friday night, apparently for the purpose of impressing several traveling men and Richmond youths with his precise knowledge of the gay white way. A local young man, however, disputed with Rogers as to the location of a "famous "lobster palace. whereupon the diamond salesman, after displaying a case of diamonds which blinded several people assembled in the poolroom, haughtily offered to bet $100 to $1 that his disputant was wrong. Producing a dollar bill, with the remark that he would risk "eight bits' on the short end of a 100-to-l shot, even if he knew he would lose, the Richmond youth covered the bet. A New York newspaper was found, and an advertisement in It showed that Rogers' location of the cafe was incorrect, whereupon he told the stakeholder, in a most unconcerned manner, to "cash" to the winner. Wires Robbery. Apparently, however, the unconcern displayed by Rogers In parting with his roll was feigned, for he lost no time in wiring his firm that he had lost a case of gems. The next morning, early, the local police say. he called on a local jeweler, told him he had lost $100, needed the money badly and would sell him any diamonds he had at actual cost. The jeweler was suspicious, however, and refused to accept the tempting offer. When the Pinkerton agency telephoned Chief Goodwin Saturday morning to locate Rogers, the chief went, at once to the Westcott hotel and found Rogers had checked out, and has presumably left the city for the east Whether the Pinkertons hsve, yet been able to locate aim th chief ' does not know. -; EDOCATE THE YOUNG, SAYS DIFFEIIDORFERi Speaker At M. E. Church Suggests Remedy for Institution's Failure to Function More personal work and a wider educational policy would do much to remedy some of the defects of the church which cause it to fail to function properly. Ralph E. Diff endorfer. ; of New York, told the congregation of, the First Methodist church yesterday morning. Mr. Diffendorfer occupied the pulpit in the absence of Rev. B. E. Parker, who Is attending the conference of Northern Indiana Methodist churchesTwo chief resason why the church does not do the good it could do, he said, are that it is broken up by Internal factions, and that the religjpn is not vital enough, it is considered too much in terms of theology instead of life. To become a force in the community, he said, the church should take advantage of the opportunity to educate the young, for upon their early training depends the character of their life. The Sunday school should have special emphasis. More personal work was advocated, the speaker saying the results of the past meetings in the city depended entirely on tbe efforts of the individuals tn the months and years to come. With its high ideals, Mr. Diffendorfer said tbe church should be made the social center of the community, thus becoming a community force. WEATHER FORECAST I FOR INDIANA Rain tonight.
