COSMOPOLITAN CLUB INVITES GUESTS BUT POLICE SPOIL PARTY era Capture 15 Colored Men and Confiscate Liquor and Rifle and Two Big Knives. Formal opening of the "New Cosmopolitan Club," 724 North D street, Yesterday morning was not a gala occasion. In fact, It proved to be a most distressing event for those who participated in it. A few hours after the "blow-off a arge automobile with "Richmond Polce Department" inscribed upon it, backed in front of the building and a Careless doorkeeper provided an entrance for three blue-clad visitors. , Of course, the crude work of the doorkeeper rendered the carefully arranged "buzzer" signal system useless, fcnd the club "president," custodian of (the "kitty" and general manager, ClarEnce Brooks, colored, had only time nough to shout one warning. Hide Gambling Evidence. It was sufficient, however, to warn the other club members and when the police squad, composed of Officers fv"ogelss;j. Lawler and Wenger, reachted the aveond floor room there was no

evidence of gambling. There was, however, sufficient booze to float a battleship, so Brooks and his fourteen associates were gathered in and transerred to the city jail. The police car lad to make three trips. No charge was preferred against any tnember of the Cosmopolitan club except Brooks. He was charged with a Violation of the blind tiger law and In city court this morning entered a Slea of guilty. He sighed heavily when tayor Robbins fined him $100 and costs and sentenced him to imprisontnent for sixty days in the county jail. Wenger Tackles Fugitive. The only spectacular feature of the carefully arranged raid was the attempt of Jesse Clapp to make his escape while being escorted to the police machine. Jesse bolted with the speed of a greyhound, but Officer Wenger was hot on his heels, and after a short sprint pulled off one of his spectacular football dive tackles, bringing his quarry to the pavement with a reverberating grunt. About three months ago the Cosmopolitan club was raided and a large collection of crap shooters gathered in. This broke up the club. A few days ago Brooks decided to re-organize it. He elected himself president, appointed the other officers, several not being notified of the honor bestowed upon them, and announced the grand opening for Sunday morning. Ready for Raiders. Following the raid yesterday eighteen dozen bottles of beer, three quarts of whiskey and two quarts of gin were found in the building. There were also a loaded rifle and two large knives in places where they could be conveniently seized In the event the alarm to repel invaders was sounded. No effort was made to use these weapons, however, the club members being too thoroughly demoralized. Brooks was arrested last Thursday on a warrant sent from Dayton charging wife desertion. He was able to patch up his domestic troubles and then returned to Richmond. Besides Brooks those arrested in the raid were: George Hill, Clarence Coleman, Lon James, James Anderson, James Crafton, Jesse Clapp, Cecil Rhodes, Pomp Hill, Charles Parks, Ben Saunders, Wilbur Ware, Jesse Rickman, Aubrey Austin and Alfred Moore.

GIFTS TO CHURCH Rev. R. C. Leonard Instructs Central Congregation on "Christian Giving." After outlining the financial system of the Central Christian church, Rev. R. C. Leonard preached on "Christian Giving" yesterday morning. The pastor said that to the present time no rigid method of caring for the church's expenses had been in operation, because the free will offerings had met all expenditures. In the last analysis everything belongs to God, Rev. Mr. Leonard said, and men are but the caretakers of what He has intrusted to them. Jewish laws compelled them to give a tenth of their earnings to the support of their religion. Now, according to Rev. Mr. Leonard, there are no laws which require that persons give certain amounts except the law of love. This love, said Rev. Leonard, should at least equal the amount given by the Jews. Not only is the giver rewarded in eternity, but he is also rewarded here in proportion to the sacrifice required in giving.

Howard Attracts Very Large

Crowd and Many Stand Through Program. The services at the First Methodist church yesterday were exceptionally well attended. The pastor preached at the morning service on' Paul's Mars' Hill sermon. A pleasant feature of the service was the- baptism of the children of two families recently re

ceived into the church. There was one accession to the church at this

service. In the evening every seat in the auditorium and gallery was filled, a large number stood throughout the service and scores were turned away for lack of room. The concert rendered by the choir was of a high order and. reflected much credit upon those who took part as well as upon the director, Prof.' C. F. Hutchins, who had given much thought and effort to Insure the success- of the concert. Mr. Howard played three numbers. The special collection was given to him to aid in carrying forward his work in Boston.

SHORT ADDRESSES COSTJU $2,000 Beck Announces Order Requiring Specific Directions on Return Envelopes. Careless addressing of mail costs the postoffice over $2,000 each year. Because so many persons are not specific enough in their addresses on letters or the return addresses, two men are empolyed who do nothing else except to correct these blunders. Postmaster Beck today received an order from the department at at Washington that he is to accept no more orders for stamped envelopes from

firms which have return instructions printed on them by the government, unless specific addresses are given. The name of the firm followed by "Richmond, Indiana" is not sufficient under this order, but the return must

also give the name of the block or a definite street address. Postmaster Beck intends to insist that all return envelopes, whether printed by the government for firms

or individuals shall be specific regarding the street address, giving the

street and number, or the block and

number of the apartments. He will

also try to educate the public to give

complete addresses on mail which they send out, rather than simply putting "Joe Doe, New Castle, Indiana." Mail will be delivered quicker or returned more quickly if undelivered if these instructions are carried out. A little more carefulness on the part of persons using the postoffice would mean a great increase in efficiency and a lowering of operating costs, said Postmaster Beck.

KAPPAS TO ATTEND NATIONAL MEETING

.Several members of the local chapter of the Kappa Alpha Phi fraternity

are planning to attend the annual convention of the society to be held at Logansport, August 26-28 inclusive. The 1914 session promises to eclipse in social features all former conventions. One of the main functions will be the dance in the Elks hall, music for which will be furnished by Benson's orchestra of Chicago. A large delegation is planning to attend from Detroit with the view of securing the 1915 convention for that city.

DIRECTORS TO MEET Reports of committees and other routine matters will come before the directors of the Chautauqua and the Morton lake and park company officials at meetings which will be held the last of this week. This will be the last meeting of the park company directors before the annual election which will be held at a meeting of the stockholders, Monday, August 3.

WHEAT CROP HEAVY. With a wheat crop of more than 30,000 bushels that will be sold to the locai elevator, New Garden township farmers are in a happy frame of mind these days. More than 25,000 bushels have been received here, and it is believed that in two or three days farmers will have completed hauling grain to the elevator. Seventy-three cents was the prevailing price at the close ot the week. The amount of wheat received at

the ocal elevator is about the same as last year. Oats have exceeded expectations. Two farmers report a yield of between 31 and 32 bushels an acre, while a third reports 49 bushels an acre. PARKER LOOKS FOR FORD. Jesse Parker did not realize that it took patience to see Henry Ford of Detroit. Mr. Parker regards the automobile king as one of the leading personages in the United States. "For a solid week I chased that man all around Detroit. I looked for him at his home, office and farm," said Mr. Parker. "The nearest I got on his trail was within half hour of where he had been seen last. His private secretary told me where I might find him, but I never did." Mr. Parker was impressed with the speed with which machines are assembled. in the big factory. On the Ford farm, Mr. Parker'found Jack Shoemaker, formerly of this place, who was making $2.50 a day for shocking wheat. HOME PRODUCT SELLS. Home-made ice cream proved a drawing card of a crowd that permitted members of the Friends church to net $23 for the Sunday school treasury at a festival held last Saturday.

bershlp which has been marked in the Grace Methodist church during the last few months, eight persons united

RICHMOND

, Charles J. Phillips, graduate of the Newport (Ky.) high r school and a freshman ' at Cincinnati university, frankly informed. Mayor Robbins that if he is . poorer financially he Is richer in experience at the present time, and that he will never again go chasing the rainbow In quest of Dame Fortune. Not for him.' It's to be home with mother and sister and hard work for him in the future. Phillips Is a bright looking young chap, and has a naive way of , expressing himself, his stuttering making him all the more interesting. Without a nickel in the pockets of his khaki trousers, and his feet swollen from long walking, he limped Into the city building Saturday evening, seeking" an audience with the mayor. After he had told of being robbed by his "hiking" companion, and his desire to return to his home, he frankly confessed that he would not be the least Insulted if the mayor would "set him up" to a square meal. "I haven't h-h-had n-n-nothing to eat for f-f-forty-eight hours except t-t-threo green apples," stuttered the youngster, and with, a hearty laugh Mayor Robbins arranged for him to have a meal at a nearby restaurant He ate like a famished wolf. His mother, Mrs. Virginia Phillips,

was notified by telegraph that her repentant runaway son was in Richmond, and she wired transportation home for him. Then Charles shed tears of joy. He left for Newport Sunday morning. While his auditors grinned with amusement young Phillips related the story of his experiences. He said six months ago he met a young man In Newport named A. C. Lightfoot, a Texan. They arranged a tramp to San Francisco, and ten days ago he ran away from his home without telling his mother or sister where he was going. Arriving at a point near Indianapolis the two young men went In swimming. Lightfoot left the water first and extracted all of his com

panion's money from his trousers about 2S. Phillips did not miss the money when he dressed. "We had a council of war after oar bath, and we decided t abandon our transcontinental trip," explained Phillips, "and walked to Richmond to secure jobs. Our original plan was to go to Chicago and there enter Into arrangements with different firms to carry advertisements during our hike to 'Frisco. Lightfoot had told me we could make $10,000 In four months by carrying out this plan, and it listened, awfully good to me. But the hard walk to Indianapolis knocked all the ambition ont of me, and I decided it would be better to go to Richmond and obtain employment. My feet were too sore to have walked to Chicago If I could have made $50,000 by doing so. "After deciding to go to Richmond we slept at the side of a road, and when I woke up I found both Lightfoot and my money missing. I was too tired to look for the dirty scoundrel, so I continued on my way to Richmond." Phillips says that on nearly every road he met people walking to San Francisco. One was on stilts, another was walking backward, and a third was progressing one full stride ahead and a half stride backward. Phillips says his father was a physician In Newport, and bis siBter is a teacher in the public schools there. "She is the most practical woman 1 ever met. She can do anything, honest, she can," he exclaimed. "Well, In that case, you put yourself under her supervision and settle down to hard work to help her and your mother," said the mayor.
