FEW INJURIES MAR FOURTH CELEBRATION

Groves and Parks Draw Crowds From Richmond to Pass Day. A safer, saner Fourth of July celebration than Richmond had Saturday, has never been known in the city. In spite of. the hundreds who left the city, the streets were not depopulated. Only the free and careless shooting of fireworks on Main Btreet Saturday night and the use of revolvers marred the record of the day. Picnic parties for the city people and a day in the city for the country people was the rule. Olen Miller park was the popular place in the afternoon when the Richmond Band played. Morton park drew a crowd in the evening when a big public Ireworks display and canoe carnival was held. One of the biggest picnics held in eastern Indiana was the joint picnic of the congregations of First, Second and Trinity Lutheran churches. Automobiles, carriages and a special train carried 800 church members to Olive Hill at 10 o'clock Saturday morning. A majority of the members of the St. John's Lutheran church attended a picnic held in Beallview park. Presentation exercises held in connection with raising a flag over Lincoln tablet in Glen Miller park by the ladies of the G. A. R. were witnessed by hundreds. Jackson's park and the groves of the county could hardly hold the picnic parties which left every town and hamlet for the day. CEWTllSFfARTY - Mr. and Mrs. Loid Hill Entertain for Daughter.

WANTS 25CHOOL LOT Thomas Declares Township Building Abandoned. To 'obtain possession of one of New Garden township's old district school houses and the ground upon which it is located, Stephen Thomas has filed a quiet title petition in circuit court against the township and school township. The school house was abandonedeight or ten years ago because there was a daily attendance of less than twelve. Seven years ago Judge Fox held that the school was only temporarily abandoned. Thomas believes he can show now that the neighborhood cannot furnish enough children to keep up the minimum daily attendance of twelve, since last year a petition of the citizens of the district to have the school re-opened failed to show the properly number of pupils, and was refused. Thomas holds a deed for the ground by which it reverts to him when it ceases to be used as school ground.

House of Tragedy

COOK FOR CARMANS EXPOSES FRAME-UP Woman Testifies to Signing Affidavit That No One Had Passed Kitchen. NEW YORK, July 6. A new sensation developed today in the mystery surrounding the assassination of Mrs. Louise Bailey in the office of Dr. Edwin Carman at Freeport, L. I., when Cecelia Coleman, cook in the physician's home, testified at the inquest that Mr. Carman's lawyers had talked to her on the morning after the murder in reference to the testimony she would give at the inquiry. When the Coleman woman took the stand she made several replies of "I don't know" or "I forget'to (jnestions put to her by District Attorney Smith, until he had to warn her of perjury. Then he switched to her conversation with Attorney Levy, Mrs. Carman's counsel. In a few inquiries the district attorney forced an admission that the cook had signed an affidavit without know ing its contents. This affidavit declared that the cook had seen no one pass through the kitchen. She gave testimony to the same effect today, b'jt admitted that she had' not been in her kitchen all the time. While the inquest was going on, P. W. Haff, Jr., of Linbrook reported to Sheriff Pettit that a man had tried to shoot him while he was returning from an automobile ride about one o'clock this morning. Mr. Haff bears a close resemblance to Dr. Carman. HOERTA'S ELECTION CHAGRINS OFFICIALS WASHINGTON, July 6. News of the "victory" at the polls of President Huerta of Mexico, caused much chagrin in official circles in the capital today. There was not so much disappointment over the election of Huerta as in the fact that he permitted his name to be used in the balloting. In view of Huerta's proffer to resign from the presidency, the administration believes that he would lay before the people the name of Pedro Lascurain whom the mediators had recommended as the logical compromise provisional president. It was expected that Huerta would then lend his support to Lascurain, and after the election of his candidate would step down. Now it is believed the dictator will use the "vote of confidence" he received as an argument against his retirement and will make few if any concession to the Constitutionalists. WILSON APPOINTEE WASHINGTON, July 6. Thomas B. Jones, the Chicago banker, nominated by President Wilson for the federal reserve bank board, today before the senate banking and currency committee admitted that he had accepted the nomination to the reserve board at the suggestion of P. H. McCormick, head of the harvester trust. Mr. Jones' connection with the zinc trust as well as his active interests in the harvester trust was gone into by the committee. Members of the committee were inclined to the belief that Jones' admission concerning McCormick would crystalize the' opposition to- him. Mr. Jones denied reports that he intended to withdraw because of the opposition to his nomination. KILLED BY SHOCK SHELBYVILLE, Ind., July 6. Alonzo Young, aged 30, a lineman employed on the Indianapolis and Cincinnati traction company, was electrocuted on a pole today when he touched a live wire and fell a distance of 25 feet to the ground. He was dead when other
