"The delegations from the eight counties of the Sixth district to the Progressive state convention, to be held at Indianapolis, April 18, will cast their votes for A. J. Beveridge as the candidate for United States senator, notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Beveridge recently announced he was not a candidate for the senatorial nomination," said Clifford Price, chairman of the Wayne county Progressive committee, who returned today from ConnersviUe, where he met with Progressive District chairman Roberts of Greenfield, and the other county chairmen of the district. The sentiment for Mr. Beveridge as the senatorial candidate is overwhelming in the Sixth district," continued Chairman Price, "and the chairmen told me the Progressive voters in their counties, as well as many Republicans and Democrats demanded his selection. They will not take seriously any refusal on his part." Rushvllle Chosen. At the ConnersviUe meeting it was decided to hold the district conven

Mr. Pickell also will introduce the teachers' advisory plan in the Richmond high school in September, according to which each teacher in the school is given twenty-five minils to

Prof. Russell's announcement of his candidacy has been favorably received throughout the district and party workers in all the counties have informed me that they regard him as the ideal candidate for congress," said Jlr. Price. Prof. Russell is one of the most prominent educators in the state, and was elected a member of the city or uncil on the Progressive ticket last fall. District Chairman Roberts at the ConnersviUe meeting received very optimistic reports from the county

chairmen, and he said the Progressive organization in the Sixth district was the best in the state. Confidence was expressed by all the party leaders that the big Democratic majority in the district two years ago would be overcome by the Progressives this year, and that Prof. Russell would succeed Finly Gray of ConnersviUe in congress by a substantial plurality.

This photograph was taken during the recent free-for-all fight that occurred between a detail of New York police and a mob of Industrial Workers of the World. The "Workers" were marching to Rutger's Square, where they planned to hold an ooen-air meeting. The I. W. W.'s have been rather active and troublesome in New York of late, and the police have been exceptionally vigilant in watching for expected outbreaks of violence. When the line of marchers had been increased to several hundred, two detectives stopped the leader, Joseph O'Carroll, and told him no parade could be continued without a permit. O'Carroll protested in fiery oratory, which incited his followers to begin a demonstration. The dedectives placed O'Carroll under arrest and a free-for-all fight followed. The surging mass was charged by the police, who waded in slashing right and left with their stocks. They were reinforced for twelve mounted officers, who charged the crowd at full speed, and caused the rioters to disappear in a most marvelous manner. Twelve arrests were made, but many heads were cracked.

rarn company at a meeting tonight in the Commercial club rooms. The meeting was postponed from last night because of the absence of Ray Robinson, president of the association. Definite plans will be made at a special meeting which will be held later, but the general plan of the opening will be outlined tonight. The directors also will discuss the improvement of the park, including the gardening, the making of the roads and the cleaning out of the upper portion of the bottom of the lake. The opening will be held about the third week in May, although no date has been set. The directors expect to wake it a big affair, as it represents the culmination of about five years' work. Together with planning the program, they will arrange to advertise it extensively and expect to draw many persons from surrounding cities. '

That the poor of Richmond were hard hit by the extremely cold weather last winter is shown by the report submitted to the county commissioners today by Trustee James Howarth. It sets out the money he paid out for poor relief during January, February

A total of S2.529.98. al

most double the expense of the first quarter of 1913, and by far the largest

amount ever spent in a quarter, represents what was given to 248 families, thrown on charity for partial support. Normally, on the Wayne township books, there are thirty-five families, mostly without children, in many cases it is an aged man and his wife, who are able to partially support themselves but cannot earn enough to pay all bills. It is estimated that twelve times as many persons were given support in the first quarter of this year, than in other years. Hopes to Reduce. Trustee Howarth expects to reduce his poor account to about $500, as normal conditions are almost restored. Of the $2,500 disposed of, $800 went for coal, and $300 was used to keep the children of the indigent families in school, either by furnishing school books, shoes and clothing. In six months, in Richmond and Wayne township alone, $3,708.32 has been spent for poor relief, undoubtedly the record, Mr. Howarth asserts. In other townships the poor relief expenditures were about average and Boston township trustee made no expenditure whatever. Others are Clay, $33.70; Abington, $10; Jefferson, $50; Webster, no report; Jackson (Cambridge City), $492.81; Greene, $28.50; Harrison, $2; Dalton. $15; Washing-

WithGoat in Tow Train Pulls Out

HAMMOND, Ind., April 8. John M,adden, so the police were told, stole his neighbor's, Peter Panolich's goat. Mrs. Madden had complained that the odor from the goat's home in the rear yard had made her 111. "I will take the goat out for an airing," Madden said to his wife. He took the animal down to the railroad track and tied him to the caboose of a freight train which was about to pull out. The goat kept up with the train for more than a mile before his cries attracted trainmen, who released him. A warrant charging cruelty to animals was issued for Madden's arrest.

It is also shown in this list that

four other improvement contracts, which will cost the city $5,900, will be let this month. Deferred Improvements. Six important improvements have been proposed, but the board has deferred action on them. If ordered

i made they would cost the city $26,-

325. They include the paving of Neff street, the paving of North Seventh street, from A to Fort Wayne avenue, the paving of Main street from Fourth to the bridge, and the paving of two blocks of North Tenth street, north of the railroad; a sewer system in North Twelfth street from the river ta J street, and cement walks on North West Fourth street. The lat ter improvement has been referred to council. In his letter Mr. Bavis shows that the improvements made this year, contracted for, and to be contracted for before the end of the month, will exceed the public improvement appropriation for 1914 by $2,600. However, by economies and justified fund transfers this indebtedness has been satisfactorily cared for. It is broadly hinted that if the important improvements contemplated are contracted for the city would have to negotiate loans. The councilmen

are Informed that these improvements can be carried over until next year without any inconvenience.

Hopes that Easter Sunday would be a fitting occasion on which to display new clothes received a crushing blow today when Richmond women

arose and found the temperature had dropped to the freezing point over night, that the ground was frozen and dull threatening clouds covered the

sky. The mercury fell from 53 degrees yesterday to 30 degrees today. After the warm rains and the bright days of the first week of the month and the last few days of March, the return of cold was not welcome: Easter toggery today made the hearts of owners leaden, as they wondered if the perverse weather man would give rains for the coming-out day.

NEW YORK, April 8. A conven

tion to revise the constitution of New York will be held next April. Returns from all the counties of the state, although unofficial, show that the voters at yesterday's special election decided in favor of the convention by a majority estimated at thirty thousand. Complete official returns are expected to show that the total vote of about 290.000 was cast. Of this total New York city cast 104,210, the af

firmative vote being 79,978, and the negative 24,232. The upstate voters opposed the convention, but the majority of 55,746 for the plan in this city was sufficient to overcome the vote cast outside of the metropolis. Democratic leaders were elated today over the result of the election, as the calling of the convention had been made a party issue. Delegates to the convention will be chosen at
