TO MAKE PHILLIPS EAT HEWS WHIG STATES LIGHTFOOT

Pedestrian Accused of Bobbing Companion Near Capital Starts to Cincinnati to Get Satisfaction. "I see a piece in your paper where Charles J. Phillips says that while he was walking with me on a transcontinental tour I stole $25 from him at a place near Indianapolis. Well, you can put another piece in the paper saying that when I meet him soon at Cincinnati or Newport, Ky., I am going to make him put this clipping of that article in his mouth and swallow it. Believe me, he will do It." So spoke A. C. Lightfoot In a soft Texan drawl, when he entered the Palladium office today. He was accompanied by Carl Mosbaugh of Cambridge City, son of former County Recorder Frank Mosbaugh and an Earlham student. Young Mosbaugh is said to be a victim of tuberculosis and is

accompanying Lightfoot on a twentyday hike. "When he gets through with the open-air treatment I give him be won't have any tuberculosis. This boy is now getting the only cure for that disease and I know how to give It," remarked Lightfoot. Toung Phillips, who started out with Lightfoot from Cincinnati about two weeks ago, walked into Richmond from Indianapolis last Saturday night, and after having told of being robbed and deserted by his companion, was staked to a square meal at a restaurant by Mayor Robbins. The boy returned to his home the next morning after transportation had been wired to him by his mother. Gives References. "I am one of the best known pedestrians in the world, for I have walked nearly all over it. I am in the employ of some of the largest cncerns in the country, which I advertise in the lectures I give In the small towns, and I bave a clean record, so it makes me

pretty sore for a brat like Phillips to

call me a crook," said Lightroot. The young Texan, bronzed, clear

eyed and straight as a ramrod, is joyfully anticipating his next meeting

with Phillips. He says he outfitted the boy for his journey with money furnished him by a large Cincinnati yeast company and during their brief trip divided with him the receipts from every lecture he delivered. "He left me near Indianapolis while we were talking to some girl walkers driving a dog. He started to cry and said he was homesick, and with that he up and left me. I spoke in Cambridge City last night and I noticed the crowd regarded me kind of suspiciously. Later I discovered this was due to the article Phillips had put in the Palladium about me. Oh, won't I make him swallow that piece without chewing it."

INEXPERIENCE HELD CAUSE OF ACCIDENT Coroner Pierce Assigns Bayer's ; Inexperience Reason for Fatal Smash.

"The Inexperience of George Bayer in driving an automobile," is the verdict of Coroner Pierce relative to the

automobile accident west of the city on the night of July 3, in which Miss Ada Kelly, of this city, was instantly killed and Miss Imogene Smith, of New Castle, was fatally injured, dying two days later. The verdict was filed with the county clerk this morning. The testimony of the occupants of the car and other witnesses vary to a great extent in estimating the speed of the auto. Joseph Peltz, whose car was passed by the Bayer car, about a half mile west of the accident, estimates the speed of Omar Murray's car at fifty miles an hour and Bayer passed the Murray car about 200 yards ahead of Peltz. Murray's Estimate 25 Miles. Murray estimates his speed at the time Bayer passed him at from 20 to 25 miles per hour. The speed esti

mates of the occupants of the Bayer car who survived the accident, range

from 25 to 35 miles per hour. Bayer believes the cause of the accident was skidding, due to one of tne front wheels striking a rock or rut in the road. He testified that in attempting to stop the skidding, he threw off the power and applied the emergency brake. He said he did this to prevent the car being hurled over the embankment south of the road. Those who testified before the coroner were Grace Kelly, George Bayer, Frank Wissler, William Milligari, of Muncie, Clarence Jackson, of Newcastle, O. G. Murray, Dr. J. A. Conkey and Joseph Peltz.

GRAY TAKES PLEDGE TO AVOID TROUBLE V Young: Man Accused of Theft Reforms in Police Court Today. ' :, Standing with his right hand above his head ' and facing Mayor Robbins, Ed Gray . solemnly swore this morning: : -

"I take my oath . that I will never again enter a saloon nor will I ever again take a drink." , Having taken that oath the mayor withheld judgment against the young man, who was charged with having stolen an old overcoat from John Carson. He had denied this charge, saying he had taken the coat from the Carson home in the belief it was his own and had sent it to the home of a sister near New Castle. Prosecutor Reller said he did not believe Gray

was altogether to blame and recommended leniency. He also advised that Gray take "the pledge" so he would not get into trouble again. The young man's aged mother wept with joy when he swore to abstain from intoxicants in the future. His younger sister, Mrs. Otto Phillips of New Castle smiled with happiness. This young woman had walked five miles from New Castle to her elder sister's home, carrying her infant in her arms, and after securing Carson's overcoat walked back with it and the baby to her home in , New Castle. Then she took a train to Richmond and turned over the troublesome overcoat, which had cost $12 when purchased three years ago, to the police. Carson appeared to be much gratified when the coat was returned to him.

LOCAL MAN SAVES DROWNING WOMAN

Word reached here today that Scott Markiey, who is spending his vacation at Orchard Island, assisted in the rescue of a woman who was drowning in the lake during a violent storm. Mr. Markiey and several companions were in a sail-boat when they noticed that a rowboat had capsized. They succeeded in reaching the occupants in time to rescue a woman and a man. The lake surrounding Orchard Island kicks up violent gales, and even experienced sailors fear the stretch of water near the island.

WbiJe the cabinet was in session it was learned that the Austrian government had notified the British foreign office that no further consideration would be given to the proposal for an ambassadorial conference. This was the sharpest rebuff that British diplomacy had ever received in its relations with other European powers. It will not lessen England's efforts to avert a catastrophe, however. Conversations will be continued with the purpose of localizing the Balkan conflict. Cancellation of the world's peace congress, which was to have been held in Vienna in September, indicates a belief on the part of the Austrian officers who had the arrangements in charge that their country will be at war at that time. Peace leaders here ewre astounded by the action taken at Vienna.

The success of the work of Road Supervisor Jones in improving the gravel roads of the county, is believed by County Auditor Bowman to be one

of the reasons for a lull in the number

of road petitions submitted to the county commissioners this summer. According to the commissioners, the people of the county are beginning to learn that many of the old roads can be improved so that they are practically as good as new ones, without the great expense of constructing new roads. The roads of the county are in better condition now than they have been for several years and the feeling is general throughout the county that if a little more care is exercised in keeping up the road, it will be unnecessary to construct new ones.

The United States is this year spend ing $40,000,000 for new church buildings.
