ULSTER MEN OBTAIN TWO MACHINE GUNS Filibuster Expeditions Evade Vigilance of British Warships Patrolling North Coast of Ireland.
BY LEASED WIRE BELFAST. Ireland, May 12. Gun running operations of the Ulster Unionists have been renewed on a big scale, and twenty machine guns have been landed on the coast of County Downs during the past two nights, according to information received by the custom authorities here today. This information was reported to the admiralty, and the warships patroling the Ulster coast have been instructed to maintain a more vigilant watch for filibusters. Coast guards along the northern shore of Ireland have been instructed to watch the coast closely and report at once to the warships the presence of any mysterious craft which might prove a filibuster. The garrison at Holy rood barracks is under orders to be ready for any emergency. This indicates a general confiscation of of arms if the Ulster volunteers keep up their filiburstering. Automobiles, owned by wealthy Unionists residents of Ulster, are being used by the volunteers for the transportation of arms. The presence of a dozen automobiles making mysterious trips to the coast at night has given evidence that fresh munitions are being received secretly despite the watchfulness of the government.

MILITANT SMASHES WELLINGTON PICTURE Invades Royal Academy With Hatchet-Mauled by Angry Spectators of Outrage. BY LEASED WIRE LONDON, May 12. The famous portrait of the Duke of Wellington in the Royal academy was smashed by a militant suffragist today. She wielded a hatchet with which she battered the fram and slashed the portrait itself. The woman was beaten by angry spectators, who witnessed, the act. This is the second outrage of the kind within a short time at the Royal academy. Only recently another suffraget slashed the portrait of Henry Bales, painted by the famous American artist, John 3. Sargent. Extra guards had been placed on duty after the first outrage, but the second offender rushed by the guards, drew a hatchet from under her coat and slashed the picture, which was on exhibition in the central gallery. The woman shrieked wildly as the crowd of fashionable spectators mass ed about and mauled her. The portrait was painted by Sir Henry Von Herbomer, who died recently.

President Bavis of the board of works has a poor opinion of Main street business men who are so lacking in civic pride as to permit their employes to sweep all manner of rubbish into the gutters. "I walked down Main street yesterday right after breakfast after Main street had been cleansed by the flusher, and to my surprise and indignation I saw employes of several stores busily engaged in sweeping all sorts of trash into the gutters," he exclaimed wrathfully. "It does a lot of good for the city to try to keep the paved streets cleaned and then have them immediately littered up by thoughtless people." In the future two street sweepers are to follow the flusher for the purpose of cleaning out the gutters of dirt and rubbish driven into them by the flusher. Mr. Guy Harper, who w.as formerly with the Francis Sayles Stock company here, is in town for a few days. Mr. Harper has been directing the William Coureen Stock company, at Jamestown, New York, and has been very successful in his work. He will leave soon for the east accompanied by his family, who have been residing here. The I. U. C. club will give an dance Wednesday evening in the Pythian Temple. A number of invitations have been issued. There will be special dance music by the Mutt, Turk ana Jeff Saxophone trio.

BALD JACK" ROSE TELLS OF BECKER'S DEATH PLOT
BY LEASED WIRE NEW YORK, May 12. "Bald Jack" Rose, a typical figure of the underworld took the stand in the murder trial of Ex-Police Lieutenant Charles Becker today and told a story upon which District Attorney Charles S. Whitman relies to send Becker to the death chair for the murder of Herman Rosenthal. Well-dressed, furtive-eyed and sharp-witted, Rose sat in the witness chair with the impassive face of a gambler calmly answering questions when not prevented by the storm of objections raised by Becker's lawyers. Rose has a dead, yellow complexion and his head is utterly devoid of hair but the most remarkable feature of his appearance is the eyes, which shift furtively or gleam with rat-like cupidity. Tells of First Meeting. After giving his occupation as "lecturer," and answering a few preliminary questions, as to age, name and residence, Rose told how he first met Becker in a gambling house that had been raided in this city in October, 1911. "We went to a nearby saloon where I gave Becker $200 to dispose of two warrants he had against me," said the witness in an emotionless voice. Rose then went on with his story as to how Becker and he had formed an agreement. Rose was to act as collector for Becker and to watch Becker's interest in a gambling house operated by Herman Rosenthal, but in which Becker, then a lieutenant of police, was a silent partner. Becker put $1,500 in the business, secured by a chattel mortgage, and he was to get 25 per cent of the profits. Business Poor. "I used to see Becker nearly every day after he went in with Rosenthal," said Rose. Becker used to ask me how business was but I could not give him much encouragement for it was slow. But I told him it probably would pick up as the house was new and not very well known." Rose then told of the friendship that existed between Rosenthal and Becker at that time, detailing one incidetnt which occurred in the Elks club when Rosenthal, in the presence of Mrs. Rosenthal, threw his arm affectionately over the police lieutenants shoulder, saying: "You need no worry any more; Charley is my friend and everything is all right now." A few months after the Beckerwanted to withdraw and demanded his $1,500 but Rosenthal said he could not JONES WILL HEAD HIGHWAYMEETING Wayne County Commissioner's Plan for District Gathering Becomes State-Wide. The idea of Highway Commissioner Jones for a district meeting of the eight highway superintendents of the Sixth district has been extended and Jones now finds himself the leader for a state meeting. The meeting will not be held in Richmond as first planned, but will take place in Indianapolis, May 28 and 29. While at Indianapolis Saturday, Mr. Jones discussed his plan to organize the highway commissioners of the Sixth district. Others from various parts of the state urged him to abandon the idea and make a state meeting of it. There are ninety-one superintendents in the state, one county being without a superintendent of roads. Each commissioner will be asked to attend and bring with them any expert road men or members of the board of county commissioners to attend the two days' session. No speakers have yet been arranged for and probably much of the time will be taken in discussing the road laws. The present road laws, including the amendments passed in 1913, are not in favor with county commissioners and highway commissioners over the state. It is said many vital details were neglected in making the law and there is much room for extension. The weight of personal baggage allowed on English railmays free of charge for each ordinary first class passenger is 150 pounds, and for each ordinary third class pasenger is one hundred pounds.
pay it. This started a breach of ill feeling and Becker became insistent. Crowd Spellbound. The big crowd in the court room listened breathlessly to Rose's recital. Becker, with one hand cupped behind his ear, kept his eyes on Rose's face, but occasionally he leaned over and whispered a suggestion to his lawyers. "In some way," said Rose, "they learned at police headquarters that Becker was mixed up with a gambling house. Becker then went to Rosenthal and suggested that his 'strong arm squad' pull off a friendly raid to quiet these reports. Rosenthal said, " 'That guy must think I'm crazy.' " Then Rose tried to persuade Rosenthal to stand for the raid, saying he could take out his costly gambling paraphernalia and put in old stuff, but Rosenthal was obdurate. When Becker was told this he flew into a rage and swore he would raid the place no matter if he did lose his $1,500. Then Rose told of angry messages he carried back and forth between Becker and Rosenthal. The raid was made and Becker took care that it
was a spectacular one with plenty of furniture smashing by his "strong arm squad." Rosenthal's rage knew no bounds, for he felt that Becker was not "treating him on the level." Enters Murder Plot. Rose then calmly went into the plot which ended in the assassination of Rosenthal at most under the glaring lights of Broadway. Rosenthal, in order to get revenge, started to expose the alliance which existed between Becker and the city outlaws of the underworld. Urged by anger and fear, Becker determined, according to the debonair witness, that Ros enthal must be "croaked." i The jurors leaned forward in their seats listening intently to the tale of crime and intrigue as the witness coolly unfolded it. Apparently the thoughts of buying a murder did not rub very hard against the moral conscience of the witness whose manhood had been spent among the creatures of darkness. Rose was the third witness of the day, the first being a doctor who had i been called to the scene of the assass- j ination after Rosenthal was shot and i the second William Shapiro, who j drove tne rour muraerous gunmen to the scene of the killing. Shapiro had hurt Becker's case by saying that the gunmen told him that Becker had everything fixed up and that there was no danger of the cops. STOCKS DECLINE ON NEW YORKEXCHANGE Steel Common Shows Slight Gain, But Loses in Sympathy With Other Stocks. BY LEASED WIRE NEW YORK, May 12. The stock market developed a dragging tendency shortly after the opening today and a number of standard issues which had begun with fractional gains shaded their best. There was a continuation of intermittent pressure against Missouri Pacific, which after opening at 17 for a gain of Y. declined to 16. Union Pacific began at 156 for a gain of , reacted at the end of twenty minutes to last night's level. United States Steel common began at 59 for a gain of Y. but immediately afterward lost part of this gain. Among the other stocks which began with gains were: Texas Company ; Reading Yt Amalgamated Copper ; Anaconda Copper Canadian Pacific ; Chesapeake and Ohio Y. ; St. Paul , and Erie Reading soon lost its fractional gain and Canadian Pacific lost the greater part of its advance within twenty minutes after the opening. During the late forenoon recessions were noted in many of the leading issues. International Harvester of New Jersey, however, continue in brisk demand, moving up over one point to 109. Canadian Pacific declined Union Pacific ; Reading , and U. S. Steel common ; Missouri Pacific lost lVa to 16. Call money loaned at 1. Missouri Pacific sold up to 17 In the last hour, but for the most part changes were slight resulting from trading that was wholly professional. International Harvester sold around 10S after touching 109 earlier in the session. Steel and Amalgamated Copper were under their opening price.
MAYOR STARTS WAR ON STREET FAKIRS Robbins Instructs Bond and Bavis to Stop Public Nuisances.
Mayor Robbins today instructed President Bavis, of the board of public works, to consult with City Attorney Bond to see if some plan cannot be devised to rid Richmond of the street "fakir" nusiance. "I am sick and tired of seeing these frauds holding forth on the principal corners of the city, collecting crowds which block the sidewalks and half of the streets," Mayor Robbins said today. "The stuff they sell is, as a rule, worthless and besides their presence on Main street gives the city a "rube' appearance. Other cities have found a remedy for this nuisance and I want one applied here." The action taken by the mayor today was the result of witnessing two or three hundred people assembled about a wagon last night, shoving each other right and left in their efforts to purchase bottles, guaranteed to cure everything from prickly heat to old age, at "only 25 cents a bottle, gentlemen, three fer the small sum of fifty cents, a half of a dollar the chance of your life time." One street fakir secured a right to dispose of his "cure-all" from the county clerk under a state statute, because he was a veteran of the Spanish-American war. Even though the state in some instances permits war veterans to engage in such business the mayor thinks that they can be prevented from working on street corners if they are a public nusiance. NICH0LS0N TALKS Richmond Man Addresses Muncie Meeting. (BY LEASED WIRE.) MUNCIE, Ind.. May 12 S. Edgar Nicholson, of Richmond, editor of the American Friend, the publication of the Society of Friends, was the principal speaker at yesterday's session of the Ninth Triennial Conference of the Woman's Missionary society of the Friends. In his address he told of the importance of a church publication, saying that it was a paper for all members to become interested in. "Prior to the last session of the Five Years Meeting the American Friend was a private enterprise but at that time it was absorbed by the churchmen and now is the representative publication of the Society of Friends," said Mr. Nicholson. The sessions of the conference are being held in the Friends Memorial church and ninety delegates from all parts of the United States are assembled. The conference will close this afternoon. HANSON TO COME FOR CONFERENCE Secretary Learner of the Y. W. C. A. has been informed that Assistant State Y. M. C. A. Secretary Hanson will attend the Religious Workers Conference to be held at the local association building, Friday and Saturday. Mr. Hanson made a short talk at the Father an Son banquet some time ago. Drs. Barber and Latshaw, who will be the principal speakers of the program will arrive in the city Thursday. Aunt Sally's Advice To Beauty Seekers Lydia says: "I've tried most everything for my freckles, but can't lose them. What do you suggest?" See answer to "Stella." The treatment suggested I've never known to fail in any case where freckles or other cutaneous blemish. P. J. K. asks: "Is there anything better than massage to remove wrinkles?" Too much massaging may aggravate a wrinkled condition, tending to soften the tissue. I advise bathing the face in an astringent lotion made by dissolving an ounce of powdered saxolite in a half pine witch hazel. This is remarkably effective. Stella writes: "My complexion is horribly muddy. What shall I do for it?" Get an ounce of mercolized wax at your druggist's. Aply this nightly like you'd use cold cream, washing it off mornings. This will cause the offensive cuticle gradually to make way by a process of gentle absorption, for the clear, velvety, healthy-hued skin underneath. Women's Realm. Advertisement)
RAIN STOPS CORN PLANTING,
MAKING
FARMERS
For the last week, enough rain has fallen to prevent farmers from completing their corn planting and many Lof them are showing anxiety over the delay. Not only will the planting run too late into the season, but the advantages of the good spring showers are not being had in many fields. With fair weather predominating, it is believed the corn can be in almost all over the county by a week from Saturday although it may be Decoration day before some farmers finish their planting. The rains are making the ground too heavy to work conveniently, but even this will not stop the farmers if the weather does not clear soon. Except for the delay in the corn planting there is nothing to make farmers pessimistic over the prospects for a big year. In every part of this county, excellent stands of wheat are the rule and unless there is some unusual blight later, there will be a big wheat crop at harvest time which will augment the winter's prosperity. However the wheat acreage the last

Through news columns and editorial page, an Indianapolis newspaper gives Indianapolis credit for being the "pioneer city" in advanced postoffice system. The two-division plan and the plan of delivering mail to carriers in outlying districts, calls for the praise which is said to isue from Postmaster General Burleson.

Richmond has been employing the same plan for years, possibly before the Indianapolis postolTice adopted it. The Richmond office is divided into the division of mails and the divion of finance, lawrenee Handley is superintendent of mails and Henry Deuker is head of the finance department. A letter was received today from the postoffice department at Washington, advising this office to adopt the plan, although it has been in use here for years. Whether Richmond was the pioneer office or not is not known, but the ideas as they are now carried out here are at least original with this office. Delivery to Foreigners. Another plan which is used to simplify matters, is the more efficient plan of delivery to foreigners. Instead of delivery to foreigners. In stead of attempting to decipher some of the initials and names, foreigners come to the general delivery window for their mail. They are handed a packet of all foreign mail, which they sort themselves, taking out only what is theirs.
