lon Or "Bridgey" Webber Shot Rosenthal.

NEW YORK, April 11. With the lives of the four Rosenthal gunmen at stake, the most remarkable legal conflict in the ' history of the state of New. York was staged here today. It was a conflict brought on by an eleventh hour appeal to secure a new trial for Dago Frank, Whltey LewiB, Lefty Louie and Gyp the Blood, the four young men sentenced to die on Monday for assassinating Herman Rosenthal. The legal battle, opening with the arrival of District Attorney Chas. S. Whitman, from Chicago, whence he had come on a fast train, to combat the plea for the gunmen before Justice Goff, before whom the condemned men were convicted and sentenced. New Evidence Shown. Immediately upon his arrival here, the district attorney dashed to his office and there conferred with his assistants and mapped out the plan of campaign to smash the plea of Attorney C. F. G. Wahle that his new evidence in the form of three affidavits entitled the prisoners to a new trial. Back of the efforts of Attorney Wahle is a plan to secure a reprieve for the four men until th3 second trial of Charles Becker, ex-lieutenant of police, is completed. The gunmen's counsel believes that during this trial evidence will be produced to show that either Harry Vallon or "Bridgey" Webber killed Rosenthal. Stomach Trouble Cured. Mrs. H. G. Cleveland, Arnold, Fa., writes, "For some time I suffered from stomach trouble. I would have sour stomach and feel bloated after eating. Nothing benefited me until I got Chamberlain's Tablets. After taking two bottles of them I was cured." For sale by all dealers. f Advertisement MAY ABOLISH P. O. AT WHITEWATER Thomas Pyle, postmaster at Whitewater, probably will resign and Whitewater will be placed on a rural route, much to the indignant feelings of the residents of that village. It seems that no one wants the postmastership, especially since it must be secured through a competitive civil service examination to be held next Saturday in Richmond. The mail is delivered to the Whitewater office by a Richmond carrier and consists of less than forty pieces a day. Postmaster Haas and Superintendent of Mails Handley favor placing both Whitewater and Bethel on rural routes. BANDITS KILL NEGRO PORTER NEW ORLEANS, April 11. Two masked men today held up a fast northbound passenger train on the Illinois Central railroad at Tangipahoa. A negro porter was killed while defending the passengers and one Pullman passenger was wounded. The bandits escaped after robbing a dozen passengers and taking some mail and express matter. The passenger who was injured became frightened when he heard several shots fired and jumped from the train while it was running at high speed. The train was finally stopped and the train crew and passengers engaged in a running revolver fight with i the bandits, who succeeded in escaping. Illinois Central officials said the ' robbers did not get any money. BLACK HAND HELD CAUSE OF BLAZE VALPARISO, Ind., April 11 That j black hand men are at work is the beS lief of police officials who are investigating the attempted assassination of P. H. Burke, whose home was set on ;fire last night by masked men who bound and gagged Burke and beat him Into insensibility. A stick of dynamite which failed to ignite was found on the doorstep of the Burke home and it is thought by the police that after the failure to wreck the house the men entered to kill him but were frightened away.

T AT JUDGE Petite Suffraget Creates Scene in Court. I LONDON, April 1L A diminutive,; petite suffraget, with the soul of an 'Amazon, was arraigned in Bow street police court today charged with smashing ten cases of Asiatic curios in the British museum, hut despite her smallness and apparent demureness she created such a commotion that her case had to be adjourned until later in the day. The girl gave her name as May Steward, and her age as 27. When led Into court, the burly policeman towered over her and the girl had to raise herself on her tiptoes to peer over the tall dock railing. As soon as the charge was read the trouble began. Miss Steward emitted an ear-piercing shriek, shouting that she would compel the judge to listen to her plea for justice. When a wardress tried to quiet the woman she picked up a bundle of legal papers and hurled it at the magistrate. Her aim was bad and the missile struck the public solicitor on the forehead causing him to stagger backward. "You first listen to me and give me justice," cried the prisoner, struggling! with all her strength. It required the j combined efforts of three big police-1 men to overpower her and lead her back to her cell. STOLE CHICKENS; GETS $10 FINE Frank McGraw, a frequent offender was fined $10 and costs and given ten days in jail today by Mayor Robbins for stealing seven chickens from Elijah Brown. The fowls were valued at $3. McGraw sold the chickens, but the police recovered them and return ed them to their owner. McGraw was arrested once for taking a horse and rig to New Paris and abandoning them there, another time ' for turning in a false fire alarm to see the department make a run, and there have been complaints made against him for ill treatment of members of his family. VAUDEVILLE KING BEGAN AS FARM BOY The late B. F. Keith, who died suddenly at Palm Beach on Thursday and whose body will be shipped to Boston for burial, was one of the most powerful figures in the theatrical world at the time of his death. He was the head of the biggest vaudeville combine In this country and was worth several millions of dollars. Mr. Keith started the battle of life as a farmer boy. He was born sixty-seven years ago in New Hampshire, and was a farm boy until he was seventeen years old. Then he went to Boston, where he caught on with a circus, doing odd jobs. He traveled to many of the large cities and acquired valuable experience in the show business. In 1883 he appeared in Boston with Alice, the midgut, whom he put on show in a little store, charging 10 cents admission.

The order will become effective April 16, and is in lines with the company's recently announced retrenchment policy. The new time table for the Richmond Dayton division is as follows: West bound cars 37 and 41 will be annulled. Train 39 will run to West Alexandria. East bound trains 40 and 42 will be annulled. Trains 32 and 36 will run to West Alexandria. TOWN LOSIS OFFICE Whitewater Will Become Rural Route. The notice of the discontinuance of the Whitewater postoff ice April 30, was received late this afternoon by Postmaster Haas from Postmaster General Burleson. Whitewater, one of the oldest towns in the county, and one of the first postoffices, will lose its identity to the world, and will be known after April 30 as Rural Route 4, Richmond, Ind. This is an important change, according to Mr. Haas, but is in accordance with the policy of the new administration to abolish small postoffices not on railroads or electric lines. Arrangements will be made at once to serve the - town by rural route. There is small chance of Whitewater regaining its office, Mr. Haas says. ALLIANCE MEETS The local branch of the German Alliance will hold a meeting tomorrow for the purpose of deciding a date for the mass meeting, which will be held some time the latter part of May. It is the purpose of the organization to take steps in the forming of a Liberal League and tomorrow's meeting will be for completing the preliminary steps of the league. TWO SMALL FIRES The fire companies were called out yesterday by two small blazes, the first a roof fire at the Excelsior Machine company factory, North Sixteenth and F streets, the other at a residence on South Seventh street between B and C streets, caused by a defective electric fixture. The losses at both places were insignificant

SQUIRE RUDE DIES AT LIBERTY, IND. i 1 Many local friends of Squire B. ! Rude, a veteran manufacturer at Libl erty, Ind., were shocked to learn of ; his death early this morning at his home in Liberty. Mr. Rude was eighty ; years old . and one of the most promin- ! r nt business men in eastern Indiana, j He was the founder and president of ' the Rude Agriculture Implement Manufacturinf company, of Liberty, the principal industry of that town, and one of the largest plants of its kind in the state. He is survived by his wife an dhls son Frank Rude, secretary and general manager of the company. The funeral will be held Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. In a recent lecture before the Royal i Institute in London, Professor Arthur j Keith, in an anthropological study, gaveit as his opion that Shakespeare was a descendant of the bronze age invaders, the true or round head people. This was a remarkable fact, the professor added, for it was this same short-headed stock, spread abroad in central Europe, throughout Germany France and Italy, which has produced the world's finest artists. Burns, he said, on the contrary was a good representative of the long-headed type of man. His skull was very broad and of excessive length and it appeared to b closely set to the neck. It represented an ancient type.

That branch libraries be established wherever possible in city and township schools and that. If feasible, book deposits be made in a few factories or stores where the people do not appear to be as well served as In other parts of the community. ' To Interest Worker. That bulletins be posted in factories giving lists of books of interest to factory men and hearty Invitations to them to make better use of the library plant. We also suggest .that it may be possible to inaugurate a bulletin service for the various clubs of the city. We recommend that, as ' far as is consistent with the judgment of those in charge of its administration, the closed shelf system be abolished and all the shelves, as may be practicable, be open to the public. We believe that if 6,000 or 6,000 books are taken into the reference room and other changes - hereinafter recommended be made of the opeli shelf system, will be an improvement over the present system. Better Phone Service. We recommend the installation of a more useful telephone service and means to make it known to all possible patrons of the library how they may use the phone to secure information or other services. We recommend that the counter, grill work and curtains be removed,

wnich now, extends across the main stack room in order that the library may present a more hospitable appearance and that the books be more accessible to the public. We believe it is possible to move the. book clerk's desk about, to the east side of the room 'and that a few stacks could be built in the space how occupied thereby. Segregate Children. We recommend that if the present work room and the reference room immediately adjacent to the south can be thrown together to give sufficient space, the children's library be moved downstairs to the main floor, this would give a separate entrance to the children on A street and would do away with their running to and fro past the reference room, thus disturbing students 'and readers. We recommend that the books be i loaned for two weeks instead of three, with the privilege of renewal for two I weeks and a fine of two cents per j day; also that a postal card reservation ' system be installed whereby ' those who have asked for a book will ! be notified when it is available. We believe the library can be made more popular, more widely used, by

MEXICO CITY, April 11. Another announcement of a federal victory over' General Villa's forces was issued by the war' department today. This stated that the federal troops had cooped up Villa in Torreon and that federal artillery was being mounted on the surrounding hills to bombard the city., ' That President Huerta's prompt apology for the arrest of American marines, by Federal troops at Tampt co ..would prevent any crisis In the relations between the United States and Mexico was the general belief in official and diplomatic circles here today. Gen. Blanquet, minister of war, refused to credit the report that Rear Admiral Mayo had issued an ultimatum .that the Mexican troops at the port city must salute the American flag." "Gen. Zaragoza, the commander at Tampico, has been Instructed to investigate the affair thoroughly," said Gen. Blanquet. "Col. Hinojosa, who is said to have made the arrests, has

J.C.BAYER ON FEDERAL JURY John C. Bayer, owner of the Bayer cake and bread factories, has been drawn for the petit jury of the May term of Federal court at Indianapolis. The venire was drawn today.

He has never served on a feleral jury before. Bayer s name was the only one from Richmond which appeared on the jury list.
