Two cornetigts, Robert Erk and Claire Reid probably will give a selection. Miss Mary Stubbs will preside as chairman of the meeting. Expect Impressive Work. The suffragists of Richmond expect to make their first suffrage day an impressive one with the citizens of Richmond, and expect dignity and order with which it will be replete to be a big point in their favor. It is understood that many business men besides other suffrage advocates will be present. Parade in Chicago. CHICAGO, May 1. Final arrangements for the suffrage parade which will be held in Michigan avenue, tomorrow afternoon, were completed today by Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout, grand marshal and general chair, and her corps of lieutenants. Suffrage leaders predict that ten thousand men and women will participate. Mrs. Trout said today that the parade would be unique in the fact that it would start on time. Mrs. Medill McCormick, who will lead the Progressive women, predicted today that more than one thousand women will march in the Progressive batallion. Police Release Globe Trotter William Stanneck, veteran globe circling pedestrian and his side partner, "Ran," a black and white fox terrier, were arraigned in police court yesterday, the master being charge with having pointed a rifle at Jesse Brown, a farmer living near Bethel, after Brown had cursed him. After the old man had entered a plea of not guilty, he was asked if he would leave the county at once if the case against him was not prosecuted, and he promised to do so. Stanneck was apparently humiliated over his arrest, and he sobbingly informed Mayor Robbins that he did not draw a rifle on Brown, and that this was the first time in all his travels along broad highways that he had ever been arrested. "I do no harm to no one. I mind my own business, and I have no enemies," he cried, and Dan, much disturbed over his friend's tears, licked his hand sympathetically. Stanneck left his cart at the place where he was arrested, fourteen miles north of town, arid he said he could walk there in about four hours, but three farmers, who had come to court to testify in behalf of Stanneck, because, as they said, they believed he had "gotten a raw deal," offered to take him to the country in an automobile. Stanneck accepted the offer, and Dan barked vigorously. CONGO NATIVES KILL PORTUGUESE SETTLERS BOMA, Congo Freestate, Apfrica, May 1.

5,672 Children Begin City's Clean-up Week

. With an enthusiasm and boundless energy which promises to. make Richmond the cleanest town on the map, 6.672 school children started to pickup, paint-up and clean-up the city early this morning. The goal toward which they are working is the large silk flag, which the committee proposes to award the school making the best record during the week. Speakers appointed by Mrs. Chrisman visited the schools yesterday morning, distributing pledges and organizing the children for the week of activity. Everywhere except at the Joseph Moore school, addresses were made and final instructions given the workers. Children Keep Records. Being a. new school and ju6t in the period of organization the Joseph Moore building was not visited, but will be enlisted in the clean-up in a day or so. Records of the work done by each child are kept by the pupil at his home, duplicates being filed with the teachers. Upon these and final reports an based the distribution of plants and the final awarding of the flag. For fifteen hours' work the pupil is allowed three thrifty, healthy plants. If the student wishes to put in three FRANK MAKES LAST STRUGGLE FOR LIFE BY LEASED WIRE ATLANTA, Ga., May 1. Solicitor Hugh M. Dorsey began his fight to baffle the move of the attorneys for Leo M. Frank, who are urging a new trial for the convicted man, when the hearing was resumed at 10 o'clock today before Judge Hill. A strong fight will be made to Judge Hill to revoke the order he gave Frank's defense, canceling the amendment which was presented last Friday, and in which Rev. Dr. Ragsdale, an obscure Baptist minister, made an affidavit to the effect that he had overheard Jim Conley, negro, confess to the murder of Mary Phagan. Ragsdale has since repudiated the affidavit in a con fession to the solicitor. It is reported that Dr. Dorsey has obtained an affidavit from Maude Carter, negress, who had made a statement to Frank's attorneys that, while in jail, Conley had made love to her and had confessed that he killed the Phagan girl. Detective W. J. Burns returned to Atlanta late last night and today vigorously denied Ragsdale's story that he (Burns) was prent when the Conley story was "drawn" from the minister. Burns reiterated his statement that he has sufficient evidence to establish Frank's innocense and Conley's guilt, and says his work in the case is nearly completed. CLOSE YEAR'S WORK Today marks the close of eleven Wayne township schools, and in almost every one of them some form of entertainment will be held tonight. Several of the county, schools will also have some program today, among them the Greensfork schools with class day exercises this afternoon and a class dance tonight, and the Hagerstnwn Rphnnls in which th hich school -alumni entertains the graduates at a banquet.

An exhibit of the work of the sewing classes has been transferred from County Superintendent Williams' office to be shown at the school. At the Webster school commencement exercises last night seven students were given diplomas, one from the high school and six from the common schools. The presentation was made by Mr. Williams. Rev. Charles Whitman gave the address to the class and a crowded hall. The musical program of the Philip Gates orchestra of this city, was greatly appreciated.

more hoars the extra time counts on the flag winning. At the close of the contest the school making the best record and winning the right to display the large silk flag in its building during the next year will be entertained by the high school. The pupils will march to the building in a body Friday, May 3, where Principal Pickell will have a program of music and short talks. Some person who has taken a prominent part in the clean-up will make the speech of presentation. Want Civic Pride. That cleaning week may have a lasting effect and generate among the young people a civic pride which will prompt them to keep the city clean the year round Is the hope of the workers. The schools are placing emphasis on this idea, pursuing a general campaign of education. As one of the steps toward this end Mrs. L. H. Monarch is planning to place small plots of ground at the disposal of children, teach them to keep them clean and to cultivate garden produce. This work is to be conducted among children who do not have yards and gardens of their own. Mrs. Monarch intends to ask citizens for ground lying idle, and put it to that use this summer.

MAY CHANGE PLAN OF STREET REPAIR The new street flusher o fthe Richmond street department, purchased at an expense of $1,300 from a South Bend company, was put in operation last night and this morning on paved streets in various parts of the city, and the effective manner in which it cleansed the paving met with the approval of all citizens who saw it working. President Bavis of the board of public works, stated today that the work of street cleaning and repairing was progressing satisfactorily and at much less expense than last year. He said the pay roll of the street department for Aprilwould be approximately $5,000. "The pay roll for last month could have been $3,000 more, and the total expenditures in that department for the first four months of this year would still be less than the expenditures for the corresponding four months of last year, and just as much work has been done," he said. Mr. Bavis said today that he had a proposition to N. H. Johnson, the new manager of the Light, Heat and Power company, to have the city repair all streets damaged by the company, providing the company would pay the city for the work. He said that Mr. Johnson informed him that he would take the matter under consideration and reach a decision within a short time. Mr. Johnson, who was formerly superintendent of the municipal plant, assumed his new position today. He takes the place of J. B. Wharton, who recently applied to the holding company to be transferred elsewhere on account of his health. Mr. Wharton will remain in this city two .or three weeks to assist Mr. Johnson in mastering his new duties. SWATS STEPFATHER Clester Harsh today drew a fine of $10 and costs for assaulting his crippled stepfather, Thomas Deever. Harsh told Mayor Robbins that he was provoked into striking Deever, whom, he asserted, had not drawn a ! sober breath for several weeks. Harsh said that while at home yesterday afternoon he had occasion to rebuke one of his young stepbrothers for misbehavior. He said this action was resented by Deever, who hit him with a crutch. Harsh said he then lost his temper and struck his stepfather. It is said the old man's jaw is fractured. Deever and his two sons both testified that Deever did no strike Harsh.

ELLIS MAY BRING SLANDER CHARGE IN COUNTY COORT

Mrs. Conkle's Friends Deny Charge That Church Jury Acquitted Her on Promise to Withdraw. Charges made by friends of George Ellis today that Mrs. Ina Conkle, acquitted yesterday morning of a malicious slander charge, preferred by Ellis and heard before a church tribunal at the Third M. E. church, was found not guilty with the understanding that she and her husband, Charles H. Conkle, and the two children withdraw their memberships in the church, were not substantiated by Dr. D. W. Stevenson, who was foreman of the jury. "The verdict was decided strictly on the merits of the case and without any agreement that Mrs. Conkle would be acquitted provided she and other members of her family withdrew their church memberships. They did not withdraw from the church until after the verdict had been read," declared Dr. Stevenson. May File Suit. Mr. Ellis when asked today if it was his intention to prefer charges of malicious slander against Mrs. Conkle in the civil courts, stated he had reached no decision on that question. "My attorney is not in the city today and I will consult him before I reach a decision. I may issue a public statement in a day or two," he said. Further details of the proceedings in the first church trial held in Richmond in a quarter of a century were learned today. According to a man who attended the hearing the Rev. B. E. Parker, pastor of the First M. E. church, who assisted in the defense of Mrs. Con kle, addresed the jury and urged that a verdict of not guilty be returned, saying that the only thing she could be found guilty of was what she had confesed to, which was that she had gossiped about the neighborhood that it was thought Ellis had some connection with the assault on Wicks. The Rev. Parker then concluded by expresing the hope that Mrs. Conkle and Ellis would agree to forget their differences and shake hands, obviating the necessity of a verdict in the case. Try to Make Peace. When the jury retired the members sent for the Rev. Parker and told him that his suggestion of a reconciliation between Ellis and Mrs. Conkle was an excellent idea, whereupon the Rev. Parker and the Rev. Williams, of Pendleton, who acted as prosecutor, urged the two parties in the case to renew friendly relations, but without success. Then two jurymen tried to act as peacemakers but their efforts also met with failure. Finally the tired and sleepy jurymen re-convened and decided a verdict was necessary. They then voted unanimously to acquit Mrs. Conkle. It is stated that when the Rev. Sylvester Bilheimer, pastor of the church, heard of the verdict, he exclaimed. "This means more trouble for me," but the Rev. Parker quickly informed him that it would not, because Mrs. Conkle and other members of her family intended to withdraw their church memberships. It is stated that the Rev. Mr. Parker then prepared the withdrawal notices which were signed by the members of the Conkle family. Mr. Ellis today asserted that the Conkles formally withdrew from the church before the verdict was ren dered. The formality of asking for letters was waived by the members of the Conkle family.

CRAWFORD REFUSES TO RUNJI TICKET Former Democrat and Enemy of Taggart Machine Progressive in Principle.

It was learned today that Earl T. Crawford has reluctantly decided not to be a candidate for the Progressive nomination of joint representative from Wayne and Fayette counties. It is reported in political circles that Mr. Crawford's decision was the result of his wife's opposition to him re-entering public life again. Mr. Crawford publicly admits he is heartily in sympathy with Progressive principles and says he is no longer affiliated with the Democratic party and that in. the future he intends to vote for men and not political parties. Earl T. Crawford is a resident of Washington township, Wayne county, and last year represented Wayne and Fayette counties in the lower house of the legislature, being elected on the Democratic ticket. In the assembly he conducted a vigorous warfare against the Taggart machine and was at swords points practically all the time with Speaker Cook. Because of his actions he won the undying hatred of the machine and the word went forth this year that he must, under no consideration, be re-nominated. Consequently a candidate was brought out against him, Lawrence Bertsch, of Cambridge City, although it is customary to re-nominate a member of the legislature for second term without apposition. Crawford then announced that he would not be a candidate but intended to take the stump against any machine candidate for the legislature. He has addressed a public letter to Dr. C. I. Stotelmyer, Democratic candidate for senator, and Robert Boren, Democratic candidate for representative, asking them if they stand for machine rule, and has resigned from the Democratic club in western Wayne county.
