Hospitality of the Richmond high echocl students and citizens has been wasted on only one of the ninety-one visiting basketball players attending the tournament. That one Is Victor Lawson, pampered pride and joy of New Castle. Lawson coming from New Castle, a town of some 12,000 population, is not satisfied with the ac commodations furnished by Richmond students who are entertaining the visitors in their homes. Lawson voiced his displeasure by calling Richmond a "cheap, skate town." He wanted to be lodged in a hotel. To show hit rejection of Richmond's home which had been thrown open, Lawson takes his spite out on the town by declaring his Intention of paying his own expenses at a hotel. Richmond welcomes ninety players of the visiting teams. Ninety-one made the trip.

PRESIDENT KELLY SPEAKS

AGAIHS

BEFORE

Following 'an address delivered by Prof. William Trueblood, venerable head of the English department of Earlham college, before the students at chapel exercises Thursday, in advocary of a strong navy and an army of not less than a half million men, President Robert L. Kelly spoke to the students at chapel exercises today denouncing "preparedness." Prefacing his remarks President Kelly said that he was in Indianapolis at the time Prof. Trueblood spoke and that he did hot know that Prof. Trueblood intended to champion increased preparations for national defense. Prof. Trueblood's remarks made a deep impression on the members of the Friend's church in this city because strong opposition to militarism in any form is one of the cardinal points in the creed of the sect. Denies Making Reply. President Kelly in his address today intimated that Prof. Trueblood would not have discussed "preparedness" had he known of the aged educator's intentions. After his chapel speech President Kelly stated that his remarks were not to be construed as a "reply to Prof. Trueblood." He said he had some time ago planned to address the students in denunciation of plans for increasing the naval and militay establishments. "I do not think Prof. Trueblood's views on this question reflect those of the American Friends," he added. "If the United States is not properly protected who can tell us how we should go about protecting the country?" President Kelly said today. He then declared that the foreign affairs committee of the house had learned, through an extended investigation, that our coasts are well defended. He then said it would be folly to attempt to improve the navy until the lessons of the European war had been thoroughly learned. He said that at the present time no one knew what kind of a navy should be constructed, a fact which, he said, the navy board had admitted. Kelly Scouts Theory. President Kelly scouted the theory that Germany or Japan could successfuJly invade this country. He said he did not take England into consideration because there was no danger of an attack from that source. He said the American navy was equal to any in the world with the exILLINS LEADS IN "Y" MEET A. M. Roach, physical director at the Y. M. C.

ception of the English fleet. Germany,, he said, in attacking the United States, would have to fight 3.000 miles from its base, Japan 6,000 miles and that it would be impossible for either country to employ its entire naval strength against the United States, as each country would have to keep a powerful fleet in its home waters. President Kelly asserted that an adequate fleet of submarines and a large supply of mines would be all that is necessary to protect our coasts, a fact revealed by the European war.

DEMOCRATS VOTE REDUCED ABOUT FIFTY CENT No Party Satisfied With Results Shown by Strange Outcome of First Primary in County.

LEADERS WONDER WHY No Satisfactory Solution Offered for Attitude of Voters Toward Candidates on AllTickets. Neither Democratic nor Republican politicians can gain much solace from the results of Tuesday's primary elect. Ion. In the .Republican congressional contest there was only a gain of 1885 votes over the votes cast for the Republican candidate In 1914, although there were 3,767 Progressive votes, cast for the Progressive candidate In 1914, to draw upon. A total of 1,811 votes was cast In the Democratic congressional contest last Tuesday against 3,292 cast n 1914, a loss of ,1481. There were 3,227 voters who cast ballots for congressional candidates in 1914 who remained away from the polls last Tuesday. This non-participating vote of last Tuesday almost equaled the vote cast for Gray in 1914. Carter, the Progressive congressional candidate for congress this year, received only 136 votes in Wayne county. It is estimated that at least half of the large number of voters who failed to participate in the primary were affiliated with the Progressives in 1914. This would mean that 1.800 former Progressives remained away from the pells last Tuesday. It is also estimated that the big majority of the remaining 1,800 nonparticipating voters were Democrats and Republicans who absented them selves from the polls as a protest against the primary law, against which there is bitter opposition in Wayne county because it requires a voter to declare his political affilia tions before receiving a ballot. Help G. O. P. Cause. A part of the heavy Democratic loss, almost fifty per cent less than polled in 1914, is accounted for by the participation of Democratic voters in the Republican primary. Many Democrats participated in. the Republican primary to vote for personal friends who were candidates for nominations as county officers. A large number of Democrats took part in the Republican primary for the sole purpose of casting ballots for P. J. Lynch, a candidate for congress, and for either Clem Carr or Oscar Mashmeyer, two "liberal" candidates for sheriff. "If arrests vere to be made of every voter, Democrats included, who violated that provision of the law requiring voters to participate in the primary of the party which they supported at the last general election, the jail would be pretty comfortably filled today," an election official remarked today. In the sixth precinct, First ward, only twenty-eight Democratic ballots were cast although there are over eighty Democratic voters in that precinct. Practically the full voting strength of that precinct was polled, nevertheless. Republican leaders are disappointed because the G. O. P. did not draw as much support from former Progressives as had been anticipated. FLAMES GUT MINE LEXINGTON, Ky., March 10. Fire broke out in the mine of the Consolidated Coal company in Letcher county early today and the whole colliery is burning.
