JILTED LOVER HITS SUCCESSFUL RIVAL

Lewis L. Heller, traveling agent in i the animal husbandry division of the j department of animal Industry, made ! rii excellent impression on members ! ol' the old and new board of township j trustees which met today to talk over ; the county agent work. Mr. Heller, appearing before the! members of the board for the first ; time, expressed his satisfaction with j conditions here as viewed superficially, lie will not become an applicant ! for the position however, until the ; matter of salary is settled. Old Trustees Active. It was learned today that the retir-1 ing trustees who leave office in nine 1 days will take matters in their own hands and do the hiring or rejecting I of Mr. Heller themselves. C. O. Wil- ' liams, county superintendent, who has ; been engineering the county agent in- i vestigations personally said today that the voice of the new trustees will be i considered as paramount, however, j Mr. Heller is twenty-eight years old ! and unmarried. He is dissatisfied ' with the roving commission he has ; with the government. He has been 1 attached to the department for two years. He has a good personality and is said to be a wizard in farm work. ; He created attention for himself by his work on the ninety-seven acre j farm he and his brother own near ; Marietta, O., where he was reared. For seven years previous to his en- ' trance in college he managed the farm nnd made enough money to complete the four years' agricultural course at , '.he Ohio State University in Columbus. Specializes on Animals. While his primary knowledge of j terming is from general farm work, he aas been specializing on animal bus-: bandry for some time. His govern- : ment assignments of late have been in j iho sheep business. The amount of I Stock in this county and the fact that ! Mr. Heller advocates the building up rf live stock with farmers' money rather than other investments for farmers was considered by the trustees and impressed them favorably. Mr. Heller went into the question j of salary today along with other mat-, ters vital in the office. What salary he will demand is not known. If he, becomes an applicant for the position. : he indicated today, it will be with a. perfect understanding of the use of his j expense money as well as with the scope of his powers in administering j his office affairs. j Whether the farmers' mass meeting! will lie held Wednesday depends oi the outcome of the meeting with Mr. Heller this afternoon. If the farmers' mass meeting is announced, it is practically certain that Mr. Heller will be employed as far as the members of the county board of education are con-, rented. Definite Action Sure. No action will he taken otvthe candidate until Wednesday, when another meeting oi'he county beard of education, new and old trustees, will be held. It. is certain, however, that the matter will be del'imtoiv settled in the meeting held this afternoon. Tomorrow Mr. Heller will be taken rrver the county as far as the weather permits. He has seen only the country surrounding the railroads as he entered and left Richmond. He said the bottom lands here are of the same nature as those of his home and there is less hilly country in this county than In Washington county, 'Ohio. where his farm is located. Mr. Holler told the trustees that he expected to become a farmer on a large scale himself at some time. If he comes to Wayne county, he said, be would settle in Richmond where he can start, the affairs of his office moving. If he is employed, it is understood with the trustees that he will give his department in the government two weeks notice of his resignation and after that period of time will be ready to take active charge of the office here.

The members of the No. 2 hose company, city hall, yesterday were the hosts at the annual Christmas spread ! at which Mayor liobbins, the members . of the Hoard of Works, and various j other city officers were guests of lionor. On the second floor, in the quar- i ters of the company members, a ta-' ble laden with all the good things of; this particular season, including a twenty-pound roasted turkey, was "attended to" with a great show of efficiency by the assembled guests. There was nothing lacking to make the annual feast one of much pleasure to all concerned, the fire boys with j true graciousness refusing to partake of the repast until they had seen that each and every guest had been provided for and then some.

TO MANAGE MISSION

Edlin Afraid to Remain in Jail With Bones of Henry Dayton. Robert Edlin, colored, when arraigned in city court today charged

with stealing two hundred pounds of coal, valued at 50 cents, from the Union Ice & Fuel company, entered a plea of not guilty and it was arranged that his case should be heard tomorrow morning. That meant a day and a night in the city jail for Edlin, who also knew that bo was the only occupant of the city bastile and that he would have to keep company with the

bones of jienry Dayton, murdered; two years ago. Edlin then decided to! plead guilty. j "Are you changing your plea be-; cause you are guilty or because you j do not w ant to stay in city jail until ' tomorrow?" asked Prosecutor Keller.; "I tell you Mr. Keller, I'm changin'j my plea cause-1 don't want to stay in that place; its too lonesome. I didn't steal that coal," replied Edlin nervous-j iy. j "We cannot accept your plea under j such circumstances. You are entitled ' to a fair trial and will have it," replied the prosecutor and Edlin was ledd off I

to jail, protesting vigorously.

Two rivals for the heart and hand of Miss Bessie Richardson, a pretty restaurant waitress, have been James Tull and Taylor Green. Today Green filed a charge of assault and battery against his rival. Something had come in contact with his face with such violence that not only his eyes but his front teeth were black. Tull will probably be arraigned in city court tomorrow morning. Prosecutor Reller says that Green informed him that Tull for some time kept company with Miss Richardson but she finally jilted him. Then Green began to show her attentions, to Tull's great indignation and anguish. He says Tull warned both Green and Miss Richardson not to keep company with each other but they ignored his instructions. Saturday night Tull met Green and the young woman, whereupon he gave free vent to his jealousy and planted a large fist squarely in Green's countenance. Whether he then carried off the object of his unreciprocated affections is not chronicled.

Association Considers Taking ; Work Started by Mrs. Candler.

GIVES SHORT WEIGHT.

A meeting of the Ministerial association to consider a proposition to take over the Fourteenth street mis-; sion, was held at the Y. M. C. A. this! morning. The mission work which has been carried on by Mrs. Elizabeth Candler, city missionary, has proved burdensome since; Mrs. Candler has been active in the work of the Central Char-, ity Bureau, and it has been suggested j that the Ministerial association could well dhrry on the work as one of its ! special activities. There wer.e not enough members present to take official action. All the; ministers of the Friends churches of I the city were present and several other pastors. The matter will be take., up for final settlement at the regular meeting of ; the association next Monday.

Thomas Decker, a farmer, drew a fine of $10 and costs, the minimum, in city court Saturday afternoon for selling a chicken which did not weigh what he represented its weight to be, lour pounds. Inspector McKinley found the chicken to weigh only three pounds and six ounces. Decker pleaded guilty.

A meeting of the Richmond Polo League officials will be held tonight at 7:30 o'clock at the Coliseum to go over something of importance to the league. All are requested to be on band.

The '"handwriting on the wait" has been seen by post office clerks and carriers in the dismissal from the Chicago and Washington offices of aged, decrepit and inefficient employes without protection against their future support. As a result the fight of the National Association of Post Office Clerks and Carriers and other civil service organizations has been intensified and the movement is gaining strength through the stronger support by the locals of the National organizations. The Richmond post, office employes are backing the movement strongly. Employes Want Pension. The employes want, as a Ir.dy an outright pension of half their salaries after they are unable to keep up their work. Individually many of the Richmond employes are willing to have their salaries cut slightly and the money saved for them. The Chicago Federation of Labor started another movement last night to strengthen the support, of pension bills now in congress and the organizations represented in Richmond have joined with the light. Superintendent of Mails I'andley said today that the employes are fighting to have the government start what big corporations liav been doing for some time. After men spend the'r working years in the service at salaries enabling them to support fam-

; ilies comfortably but no' to save, they : consider that, it is the duty of the employers to provide a permanent in- : come. Handley Cites Example. Last year during the Christmas rush, Joseph .Marchant. who was in his twenty-fifth year in the service, died from illness contracted on duty, lie was unmarried and lived poorly. After his death it was found that he i had accumulated $17,on by investing ' his savings. Marchant was retained in the service because of his fpithfulness and his work was lightened at the expense of the younger and more, vigorous employes.

"This is an unfair example way." .Mr. Handley said. "It ! trat.es, though, the methods we

, use for old employes. "We gave Marchant a light route and gradually put more onto the routes bordering on his. He wiis paid the same salary as if he had been among the most efficient. It. is very rarely, though, that a man with a family can save enough to invest as Marchant did"
