RUSSELL PREDICTS VICTORY FOR BULL MOOSERSJ SIXTH Nominee Believes Wilson's ' Bossism Means Progressive Congressman Sure From Sixth District.

Among the most enthusiastic and

optimistic party leaders who attended the conference at Indianapolis yesterday of Progressive state committeemen," sub . committeemen, candidates tor congress and state offices and the senatorial nominee, A. J. Beveridge, were two representatives from the Sixth district, H. T. Roberts of Greeneld. district chairman, and Elbert Russell of Richmond, candidate for congress. Reports received yesterday showed that the prospects of the Progressive party in every district were extremely encouraging -and a sweeping Bull Moose victory at the November elections was- freely predicted. District Chairman Roberts announced that there were full Progressive tickets in every coynty in the sixth district and' that township tickets had been nominated in eighty per cent of the townshtju. Rjksell Confident. Mr. Roberts concluded his report by saying that the election of Prof. Russell congress had already been assured. Prof. Russell said he had made a careful canvass of the district and he had found conditions to be very satisfactory. He also expressed confidence In his election. He concluded by saying that reliable Republican leaders had frankly informed him that James E. Watson's recent demonstration that he still controlled the Republican party of the Sixth district would mean a gain to the Progressives ol a thousand or more Republican votes in Wayne county alone. Today a conference of men who are to conduct tho speaking campaign over- the state was held Beveridge Speaks. Beveridge addressed the conference for an hour last night on organization matters. He went right at the heart of the subject, relating his own experiences and urging the party leaders to provide for a compact organization In every county. He suggested that a supplemental organization consisting of the nominees on the state ticket and the candidates for Congress be formed to do organization work u nder the direction of the state chairman. This suggestion was adopted and tbe candidates will take up organization problems and work until assignments from Chairman Toner until election day. The attendance at the conference was larger last night than it was yesterday. In Line With District Work. The meeting was in line with the splendid series of district organization conferences held throughout the state recently by Beveridge land Chairman Toner, It was called largely fo! the purpose of considering ideas developed at the district conference and to decide upon some definite organization plan. The reports that were made covered every part of the state. The substance of the statements made by the party leaders was: 1. That the Republicans are not making the serious inroads on the Progressive party that they are alleging. 2. That the Progressive party is in excellent condition in a majority of the counties. 3. That arrangements have been made for the nomination of tickets in every county and that there is to be no fusion with the Republicans. 4. That the candidates for Congress almost without exception are confident of being elected. 5. That no time is to be lost increasing the efficiency of the organization. 6. ' That the Progressives are gaining thousands of recruits from the Democrats.

YOUTH CONFESSES TO TWO OFFENSES

Another youthful kleptomaniac has been arrested by the local police .and is now held at the Home for the Friendless pending a more thorough investigation of his case. - The boy is Donald Leigh tan, fourteen years old last month, the son of Elmer Lelghton, 122 South Twelfth street. He was arrested on a charge of stealing $1.26 and cigarettes from the coat pocket of William Pittman, who has been working at the Garfield school, South Twelfth street, r The boy, following his arrest, boastfully asserted that-over a year ago he stole twenty dollars from a house on South Eleventh street he had broken into. He is also known to have been guilty of thefts at the Y. M. C. A. Last week a fifteen-year-old boy, who had committed several bold daylight robberies, and was arrested just after stealing one dollar from a home on South Thirteenth street, was sent to the Plainfield reform school.

county was 9,635, only 1,680 less than the year before, showing that the results of vaccination are sti.l not all that could be desired. The value of the hogs lo'st from the disease totaled 968,024. The number of livestock on the farms of the county remains about the same as before, although the value of dairy cattle and dairy products is placed at a higher figure. $7,000,000 in Crops. The selling value of all crops, and IJve stock produced during the year, and sold during the year, or held on farms January 1, 1914, reaches a grand total of $7,131,949, or $600,691 more than the total production of 1912. According to the figures in this report the average yields per acre for the various crops were as follows: Wheat, IS. 5 bu.; corn, 42 bu.; oats, 1:6.8 bu.; rye, 13.8 bu. On January 1, 1914, there were on Wayne county farms, 860,535 horses and colts, 42,705 mules, 471,876 cattle, 424,893 hogs, 20,018 sheep, and 44,645 laying hens,

to the necessity of the improvement of Sheridan and other streets of the community. I admit that the portion north of the Indianapolis division of the P., C, C. & St. L. railroad has not been given its share of improvements with other sections of the city. "As far as Fairview is now concerned, the board of works has its hands absolutely tied. Until the first of the year, when Richmond became a third-class city, improvements cpuld be made irrespeetive of the assessed value of the adjacent property, but now the assessed valuation of the property must be twice the value of the improvement before the board of works can order it made. The paring of Sheridan street would exceed in cost the entire value of some of the property adjacent, and with its narrowed latitude the. board of works pan not order such an improvement. "The method left under the circumstances in this community is under the three-mile road law. A permanent improvement which will last thirty-five or. forty years can be made and the portion of cost to the adjacent property owners will be within the legal limit se the board can order it made. Much Money Wasted. "The city has wasted thousands of dollars, or at least has not gotten near the worth of its money, by not starting sooner to make permanent -improvements. I have not found a farmer in the township who is not perfectly satisfied with the improvement of streets in the city under the threemile road law, even though the cost would be on the entire township. "Between the Indianapolis and Chicago divisions of the Pennsylvania railroad lies ground which will develop into the future manufacturing center of the city. Past this ground runs Center street. Xhe . improvement . of Center street has been proposed. Why not make this improvement at ' the same time the Sheridan street improvement is made?" Mr. Jessup continued to explain the method of bringing such a matter to the attention of the county commissioners. A petition of fifty resident freeholders is required. Since a remonstrance can be signed by voters as well as freeholders. Mr. Jessup advised the Fairview residents to secure as many names as possible to the petition. The committee which was appointed to . look further into the matter will meet tonight to organize and to acquaint the members with the provisions of the law so that it can be explained to those not attending the meeting. The entire body of the improvement association will meet in about a week to take up plans the committee has made.

PLAN FOR RIVERSIDE PARK BEFORE BOARD West Side Committee to Ask . City Help Large Boulevard Plan.

The proposed - riverside park and playground to replace the West Rich" mond dump will be presented to the board of works tomorrow by the executive .committee "as the opening wedge for a grand boulevard system to extend south from the Doran bridge to South L street and it possible North to Morton park along high river bluffs. . The executive committee, held a meeting last night and decided to appear in response to President Bavis of the board, at the . board's regular session tomorrow. The city will be asked to condemn the smoking, ill smelling ground, have it appraised and buy it. Without appraisement, the ground would cost $12,000 and if this Is considered a reasonable figure, no official appraisers will be asked by the West Siders. Members of the executive committee believe Richmond has a spendid opportunity before it to build one of the most beautiful boulevards in the state. Such a boulevard , to be built under the three mile road law has been proposed for several years but each time has fallen through. ' The improvement of the Whitewater Valley through the course of the proposed boulevard is included in the scheme. It is believed a natural garden spot could be made out of the present unsightly gorge and that the improvement would not be a great expense. L. & N. SHOWS BIG EARNING INCREASE
