THIEF TAKES HORSE TO REACH CHICKENS HE WAUTS TO GET Police Arrest John Ellis on Suspicion After Chase by Armed Farmers Aroused . by Cackles. ' Somebody stole a horse to steal some chickens. . John Ellis, colored, alias John Mitchell, was arrested today on suspicion. He is suspected of taking a horse and buggy belonging to Everett Gilmer, colored, 612 South Twelfth street, and sixteen ohickens from Harry Chamberlain, manager of the O. E. Fulghum farm on tho National road, half way between Richmond and Centerville. The thief made a successful escape

after being pursued by Chamberlain his two sons and' J. A. Jenkins, a neighbor, in an automobile, but the police believe they have in Ellis the man who figured in the affair. Ellis served eleven years in the reformatory for chicken stealing, and he re sided with Patrick Taylor, colored, bit South Thirteenth street, close to the Gilmer home. The notice aBsert that after Ellis broke Into the Gilmer barn last night and took the horse and buggy he drove to the Fulghum farm. After he had filled one coop with chickens and had begun to fill the second coop the fowls began to raise a chorus ot protest which awakened Chamberlttn. The thief becoming alarmed, did not fnish the job of looting the chicken yard but jumped into the buggy and drove rapidly toward Richmond. Chamberlain got out his automobile, summoned his two sons and Mr. Jenkins and took up the chase. All the men were armed. At the corner of West Seventh and Main streets the stolen horse and the fugitive chicken thief fell and the man at once took to his heels, succeeding in eluding his pursuers by cutting across lots. When the police were notified of the affair they at once suspected Ellis. When an officer called at the Taylor home Ellis met him, but asserted he had not been out of the house. A woman living in the neighborhood told the officer she had seen Ellis enter (he Taylor home about 4:30 a. m., and be was at once placed under arrest. The horse was not badly hurt by its fall. All the stolen chickens were recovered.

There will be no change In the attitude or the movements of the Constitutionalists because of the resignation of Huerta and the accession of Francisco Carbajal to the provisional presidency. The only possibility of a change in Constitutionalist plans, according to both Carranza and Villa, depends on the unconditional surrender of the Mexican forces under the new provisional president. General Blanquet says that there is absolutely no reason to believe that such a surrender will be made by Carbajal.

GRAVEL ROAD LAW PUZZLEJO BOARD Action of Property Owners j in Remonstrating Worries i County Body. . -The county commissioners want advice. -. .- , ; v : Their question is: What Is the real attitude of the people toward the three-mile-gravel-road law and when does the public want Improvement which It knows it must pay for? I The . commissioners are the butt of complaints regarding every improvement which has ever been made through them.- In the case of the three-mile-road law, they cannot, how ever, use their own judgment in ordering improvements but "on petition of fifty resident freeholders, the county commissioners must order the said Improvement" to use the word of the law. r Singularly, the commissioners find that the ones who complain the most before the improvement is made are loudest in its praise after it Is paid for and the advantages are seen. In the case of a resident of Twenty-third

street however, it is found that one of the petitioners is also a remonstrator. File Remonstrance. The remonstrance which was filed against the Twenty-third street improvement, petitioned for two weeks ago, is unusual. . Not only do many residents express their disfavor of the Improvement in question, but they remonstrate against all future improvements until the present Improvements are paid for. Such an unusual attitude on the part of the. public is what puzzles the commissioners. Unless the remonstrance is stronger than the petition, they '.must order -the improvement. The commissioners went over the two papers today. The commissioners, Linderman, Anderson and Doddridge are practically firm in their decision that paving in the future will be brick unless the con crete roads which are under construction prove very satisfactory. If a way could be found in reason, the commissioners in their discussion of the question today expressed their favor of leaving the matter to a vote of the entire township but as no such plan could be made practicable, such will not be attempted. DEMOCRATS REFUSE TO ACCEPT JONES WASHINGTON, July 18. That a caucus would not be able to force the nomination of Thomas D. Jones, as a member of the federal reserve board, became evident when a number of Democratic senators declared they would not enter such a caucus. Senator Reed, of Missouri, who is opposed to Jones, said: "I am not a rebel against my party, but I have never heard of making a confirmation the subject of caucus action. Always in both parties, confirmations have been considered as matter of conscience and this nomination should be considered in that category. Senator Kern, Democrat, of Indiana, said that there would be no conference today and that he did not know when one would be held, if ever. Kern appeared more than a little nettled over the Increasing publicity which the Jones case is attaining. MACK ASKS CANVASS OF FARM BODY Harry B. Maoy, at an informal meeting of the Better Farming board nrged the necessity of making a thorough canvass of the different townships to secure new member of the association. He suggested to the directors that they pledge five dollars for each township, the money to be raised by new memberships. Mr. Macy spoke of the necessity for keeping the members interested in the work the association is trying to accomplish. WRECK KILLS TWO NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 18.

220 Trams Passing Each Day r Make City Railroad Center

Richmond is the largest railroad center in the Middle WeBt in proportion o the population of the city. Statistics compiled from the figures in the railroad officials show that a larger number of passenger and freight trains arrive and depart from the local station than any city of like size in the entire Middle West. Although a large number of the trains have been taken off the Pennsylvania during the summer months, due to the business depression . which is general throughout the country, there still pass through Richmond an average of 70 passenger trains and about 150 freight trains a day over the Pennsylvania and the C. & O. railroads. Station Master Mayhew estimates that 6,000 persons are transferred through 'the Richmond depot every day. He also estimates the number of persons passing through the city, including the number transferred from one division of the road to another, at over 10,000. This is more than onethird the entire population of the city. 400 Transfer Here. There are four divisions ot the Pennsylvania centered about Richmond, which accounts for the large number of travelers that are required to come through Richmond enroute to their destinations. Besides these divisions, the C. & O.. which is a direct route to the southern Btates, brings many people through the city. It is estimi ted that about 400 persons are transferred from the C. & O. to the Pennsylvania and likewise from the Pennsylvania to the C. & O. each day. These figures, accprdlng to Station Master Mayhew are conservative and based on the business which the railroad is handling at the present time. In autumn and spring a much larger business is done and these figures would have to be greatly augmented. The G. R. & I. division of the Pennsylvania is handling the greatest COFFIN SELLS 186 ACRES FOR $17,500 Real estate transfers this week were a little increased over last week in general. One unusual sale was recorded. It was the transfer of the 186-acre farm of William H. Coffin to Mattie C. Myers for $17,500. The big farm is located in Clay township. Mr. Coffin has not been operating it himself but lives in Spiceland. The transfers for the week follow. War. Deed Dickinson Trust Co. to Jennie Myers $198. Lot 33 Highland Terrace, Richmond. War.

amount of transportation business at the present time in proportion to the other divisions' regular amount of traffic. This is due to the fact that the G. R. I. is the only direct route to the resorts of Northern Michigan' to which thousands of tourists so every summer. Tourists from the Indianapolis and the Cincinnati divisions are all transferred at Richmond to the G. R. ft I. division for the northern lakes and every day during the summer months hundreds of vacationists pass through the city en--route to their summer homes. Freight on Increase. The freight traffic is beginning to increase steadily and a marked difference in the number of trains passing through this city has been noticed the past week. At the present time, a larger number of trains are going west than east, taking empty freight cars to be filled with the western crops and sent back again to the eastern markets. Because of the pivotal position of Richmond a large amount of freight transferring is done. The C. & O. railroad also has a large freight business through Richmond, but most of .the trains are through freights enroute from the southern states to Chicago and then to the west, where they will be loaded and sent back. The freight business on the C.

& O. through Richmond is much larger in proportion to the passenger traffic. According to Pennsylvania railroad officials business is gradually picking up again after a slump of several months and it is probable that in the early fall several additional trains will be put on the divisions out of Richmond. The freight department is beginning to feel the effects of the immense crops of the west, although the bulk of this business will not be done until the middle of August. War. Deed Russel M.
