MARX IMPROVES JITNEY SERVICE, ADDINGJJUSES Purple Lights at Night Will Signal Approach of New Transportation System Machines; Two more jitney buses have been added to the system started by G. M. Marx. Schedules for regular trips by the three machines were announced today by Mr. Marx, who has equipped the automobiles to give quick, comfortable service. To safeguard the lives and persons of his passengers, Mr. Marx has insured the buses against injuries by collision or accident to passengers and pedestrians. In the day time the buses can be distinguished by the large signs at the front and rear, but at night purple sidelights and purple crescents on the dimmers for the headlights will set them apart from other machines on the streets. Schedules Announced. Two of the jitneys will operate, according to Mr. Marx, on Main street between Earlham and Glen Miller park. From the park they will go west to West Fifth street, south on West Fifth street to National avenue, and west to Earlham. Returning they will run east from Earlham to West Third street, north to Main and east to Glen Miller. , The round trip will require twenty minutes. With two machines running there will be a bus in either direction every ten minutes. The buses will start from the end of the lines on the hour. Another bus will run from Eighth and Main streets to Reid Memorial hospital, leaving each hour, from 8 until 6 o'clock during the day.

JOLIET, 111.. June 21. A bloodstained collar was found today in the closet in the room in the Joliet penitentiary where Mrs. Odette Allen, wife of Warden Allen, was slain and her body partially burned. The collar bore the initials of "Chicken Joe" Campbell, a negro convict, the chief suspect, held for the crime. He admitted the collar was his and stammered the explanation that it had become stained when he cut his chin whle shaving. His chin showed no mark of any cut. Allen today made this statement: 'If it is true that this crime was the work of a trusty then the honor system 4s a failure, and my faith in men is undermined." Seventeen hundred convicts- at a given signal at noon today made a rush in an effort to drag "Chicken Joe" from his cell and lynch him. The guards drove the convicts back, using their clubs freely.

RICH MAY SHAVE AFTER 9 YEARS

Howard Rich, owner of four barber shops, who never patronizes his own places of business, probably will get his first shave in nine years, if the persuasion of his friends is sufficient to win his consent. His face is now covered with a thick growth of red beard. Rich is contemplating a visit to the San Francisco exposition, and before he departs is expected to visit either his own or one of his friend's tonsorial parlors. A casual glance at Rich would Li-tag the opinion that he was hardly more than a tramp. Instead he owns a sixty-acre farm, real estate in New York city and other properties. It is estimated that his wealth will some day reach $150,000. He is a graduate of Earlham college and attended another school in the east. Rich offers no reason for his eccentricities. On occasions when he visits in Chicago, Cincinnati or any other large city, he adorns himself in the most fashionable clothes. LOCAL MAENNERCHOR COMES TO RICHMOND AFTER SAENGERFEST Approximately seventy-five Richmond persons attended he fifth annual Saengerfest of the South Ohio and Kentucky district, which was held inWiedemann's ball part at Newport, Ky., yesterday. Included in this number was the Maennerchor, which was one of the societies participating in the singing program. The majority of the Richmond delegation left the city in a special car attached to the 5:50 o'clock train Sunday morning, but some went to Cincinnati over the C. and O. The visitors were met at the station by a committee from Newport. The Richmond delegation returned last night. Albert Blaesser, Richmond delegate to the annual convention of the District Singing society probably will return this evening. The convention was held this afternoon in Sandhas' hall. Officers were elected and the place of the next annual meeting was chosen. REV. MOTLEY LAUDS CNILDREN'S SERVICE A Children's Day service with songs, instrumental music, recitations and drills, was held at the First Christian cnurch Sunday evening and attended by approximately seven hundred peo ple. The church was decorated with plants and flowers for the occasion. The program was in charge of Mrs. Coffman, Mrs. Hanley, Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. Longfellow and Miss Lucile Motley. Rev. W. R. Motley, the pastor said that in his fifteen years as minister he never witnessed a children's day service of higher order. The offering made at the service was given to foreign missions. POOR RECEIVE HELP ONLY AS REQUIRED Professional poors are not preying on the good offices of charity this summer so they can live more comfortably next winter. It has been the case in former years that poor who do not need help in the summer ask for it and store goods away for harder times. "I have only one doubtful family, and I am now investigating it," said Secretary Melpolder of the central charity bureau. "I have heard a number of complaints that people were storing stuff away. Last w?ek a woman came to me and said her neighbor was getting orders from the central bureau and putting the stuff in the cel! lar. I investigated and found that there was no cellar under the house, and no other place to hide anything in quantities where it could not have been found." FOULKE COMES BACK FROM PHILADELPHIA William Dudley Foulke has returned to Richmond after attending the meeting of the "League to Enforce Peace, American branch," in Philadelphia in which he toon a prominent part. Mr. Foulke was chosen one of the honorary vice-presidents of the league. The committee reported favorably upon his amendment to the first article of the league which in effect will leave to the nations in the league the option to place in the treaties they sign, the specific things they declare shall be justificiable or non-justificia-ble. Only the phraseology of the amendment, Mr. Foulke submitted, was changed. RECEIVE BEQUESTS FROM TWO ESTATES Mrs. Clara B. Brown, widow of Francis Asbury Brown, deceased, and Mrs. Martha McConaha, sister of Mrs. Lucinda Crimes, deceased, were the only benefactors by the two estates, according to inheritance tax reports filed today.

The estate of Cuntfiis Minerva Routh, deceased, was divided between a daughter, Cora R. Calloway, who received $3,100, and a grandson, Edwin Calloway, who received $2,600. Hindoos venerate the common merigold and frequently adorn their idols with wreats of its golden flowers.

MAN WITH "PUNCH" EXCITES ADMIRATION OF MODERN WORLD Rev. W. O. Stovall Cites Ex- . ample of Great Ty Cobb and Issues Call to Richmond Citizens. The world admires the man with ' punch" who does things in a straightforward manly way said the Rev. W. O. Stovall at the First Baptist church yesterday. Rev. Mr. Stovall said in part: I do not think that the expression has yet been accepted as correct English, but there is no more concise and clear description of a man of virile, ro

bust and direct effectiveness than to hear men say he has "punch." They mean by that that there is something about his personality and Way of doing things that defeats opposition and gets results. . He is not thinking of the grandstand ' or the picture machine, but of striking the decisive blow. "See a man like Ty Cobb play base ball. It is not merely a ball game. It is the energy, the skill, the alertness, the mental power of one who is fit. It is every faculty of a thoroughbred ready for quick response to every demand of the game. Y. M. I.

PAINTING SUGGESTED

A report ' from the board of state charities on Wayne county penal institutions, which was recently' forwarded by Chairman C. B. Beck of the county board of charities, has been re-' turned. The report recommends paint for the interior of the county jail and new plumbing for the women's jail. ' Both ' institutions met the approval of the visiting board. The county commissioners are expected to take up the report at the next meeting and take action accordingly. CHARITY TO DIRECT NEW SOCIAL MOVE The social service program adopted Friday night by the Central Bureau board of directors, effects every agency of any kind in the municipal government and in the school city, according to Secretary Melpolder. "There will be some tearing down of old customs, habits, institutions and conditions," said Mr. Melpolder. "This work I will leave to the proper authorities and confine my own efforts to constructive work. "In the north end, I do not propose to suggest that any conditions be removed by the bureau. Instead I intend to establish a social center and I have already conferred with Superintendent Giles who will refer the matter to the school board. I will start work with the boys and young me nand gradually broaden the scope of the social center to include everyone. Later we will try to have speakers, motion pictures and entertainments. "I offered my services free to the school board as city attendance officer and I will try to enforce the at tendance laws. I believe it can be done in the county and city as cheaply as cne man did the work before." Cut Glass Specials SEE OUR WINDOW. Richmond Art Store 829 Main Street.

Dan McGee, who pleaded not guilty to a charge of public intoxication Saturday, was arraigned in city court this morning, refused to make a statement and was fined $5 and costs. -' McGee came here from Dayton to see his child, who lives with his divorced wife, who is now the wife of C. O. Minnick. He talked with the child over the telephone, Mrs. Minnick stated, and was quite profane. He also threatened to "get" Minnick the first time he met him when the child told him that he "liked his new papa." Later McGee acted very offensively at the Pennsylvania station and was arrested. He was told that any time in the future he wanted to see his son he would have to arrange to meet him at police headquarters. While intoxicated Saturday night, Leslie Miller, colored, mistook a neighbor's home for his own and when he tried to get in a lively scene ensued. He was fined $1 and costs this morning.
