GO TO CONVENTION.

V. B. Watson and Howard "Brooks, delegates ot the Moose convention at MooHehart, Indiana, left Richmond last night and will spend the . entire week at the convention. Candidates will be initiated at the meeting of Wayne Lodge of Moose tonight.

A meteorite weighing twenty tons Is reported to have fallen recently in Bezerros, in the state of Braril.

Infant mortality In Wayne county is increasing at an alarming rate. This was announced this morning by John service bureau, after he had examined the statistics of this and former years carefully. "This presents a greater problem than that of fighting tuberculosis," Mr. Melpolder said. "Last year In this county 71 children - under one year of age died while there were only CO deaths due to tuberculosis. Besides this, twenty children between the age of one and five died in this county. "The Social service bureau is at present conducting a hard campaign to save the babies of 'this county," Mr. Melpolder said today. "It is the most serious proposition which has come up for years. The hot weather is making the fight all the harder and the co-operation of the citizens and physicians is absolutely necessary."

Driverless Electric Stops Against Tree

.Stephen O. Yates, architect, 322 North Sixteenth,, street, got a run for his money when his electric, which has heretofore been highly respectable and reliable ran amuck this morning about 6:30 o'clock, and after feading Yates on a hot chae, ended its checkered career by dashing into a tree in front of the residence of P. W. Smith. Yates, who is supervising the building a house for Mrs. Henry Swift at 2014 Main street, drove up to work this morning, put on his brakes and forgot to shut off the motor. A short time later the electric took fire, from the friction of the motor. Yates siezed a bucket of water and did an impromptu fire department act. In his enthusiasm in putting out the fire, he reached the break, and as the motor as still running, the car dashed up Main street. Casting his bucket to the winds, Yates, gathering his coat tails for a mad sprint, and started after it. Up the hill went the electric. Near Twenty-second street, the electric suddenly veered, turned south and ran up

J the curb. Then it came down the

sidewalk, running as straight as if Yates were at the helm. It bumped down and up the gutters at Twenty-first street, and seemed to be going to follow the sidewalk right on down, but something caught the wheels and the car crashed into a tree before the P. W. Smith resi

dence. The glass on the right side of the electric" was broken, and the front wheels and springs were torn off. The tree was badly skinned.

EDGERTON EXPECTED TO CUT TAX RATE

CHURCH FINANCES IMPROVE RAPIDLY

"Richmond churches are in the best financial condition that they have ever been." This was a statement made today by Rev. L. E. Murray. He said that the bankers are speaking about how the churches have paid old outstanding debts during the last two or three years. Jt used to be that all the churches were heavily burden

ed with debts, but now most of them have small credi accounts, the bankers are quoted as having said.

J. O. Edgerton, trustee of Wayne township; announoed today that he believed it would be possible to reduce the tax rate of this township two cents this year. Last year it was reduced one cent. He gives as his reason the fact that there have been no new school buildings this year and that few repairs have been needed. However, the first bond of the school buildings which were built last year falls due soon and this will prevent the rate from being lowered as much as it might have been, Mr. Edgerton said.

STATEMENT I

S ISSUED

Editor Palladium: I have never heretofore carded a newspaper in my own defense, no difference how erroneous or damaging to myself the nature of the matter therein published concerning me. Indeed, it lias always been my custom 1o preserve silence under such provocation and to leave to the other party to my difficulty a monopoly of the rress in the airing of grievances and the justification of conduct. Perhaps I could, with propriety, have departed from this custom when you published, on the day of its occurrence, an account of the difficulty between Frank J-I. Taylor and myself, which was grossly Incorrect and in which you represented me as having gone to the First National bank and there, without provocation or excuse, asfailed with profane language and attacked with a knife a peaceable and vnoffensive gentleman whose whole nergy was then and there entirely

devoted to the necessary defense of

the question as to what lawyer should be employed to take my place and she finally decided upon Benjamin F. Harris, and said she would employ him, which she subsequently did. Now, the evidence in the case against myself in the city court upon a charge of assault and battery upon Taylor was all concluded by 11:30 in the forenoon of Saturday. I had testified in the case to all of the above facts. Not a single witness had testified to the contrary. I take it that you did not go to press with your paper until several hours later in that day and yet, when the paper appeared, it contained this erroneous statement to which I have called attention. Assuming that there was no actual purpose 'to do me any wrong in this statement, I nevertheless insist that there was very great carelessness in thus publishing it in your newspaper. The last sentence in this statement is also so worded as to constitute an unjust reflection upon myself, but I

The following appropriations amounting to $8,590 will be asked for by t the county commissioners at the

meeting of the county council which

Wanted to Run Over Fresh

Car

Cement

When a stranger within the city's gates, driving an automobile, proceeded east in the first alley south of Main street, between Eighth and Ninth streets, he became greatly peeved because street paving men on Ninth street refused to permit him to operate his car over some freshly laid concrete, which is to be the foundation for an asphalt paving. The motorist summoned the police. Officer Westenberg responded. "These men won't let me drive onNinth street," stormed the stranger. "I don't blame them," said the officer. "Back your machine onto Eighth street." "I don't want to back out. I want to go on!"

"Either back out or stay where you are," replied Westenberg, departing as the stranger heaped maledictions upon the city, ; its police department and street paving contractors. ',

I know who it was that inspired this Recount, so I passed it by without comment. In your issue of last Satiirday, however, in repeating the pro. t ress of th cane bofore the city judge ' iii which I vas being tried for assault nd battery upon this kindly and mildtempered bunk official, you came at me ag.iin with the following false statement: "It was brought out In lhe evidence that after Johnson's trouble with Taylor Mrs. Miller dispensed with his services and employed

Another attorney, It was stated that the Agreed to the proposed sole and Ihe other nttorncy at onc secured a -al? order from the court," It is quit? evident that in and by this statement you intended to convey to the public the idea that Mre. Miller t:a4 discharged me as her attorney In the administration of Mr, Miller's estate because of my disagreement and trouble with this man Taylor, Such is not tb fact, Itere la the truth of the matter, ' On the day of my encounter with Taylor, and After its occurrence, I telephctted Mrs, Miller and asked her to come to my office, A day or two thereafter she came to see me, where upon I informed her of the encounter end Its cause and said to her that if Taylor would resign as co-administrator I would be willing to serve as her attorney in th administration of her hucband'g estate, but that I knew him well eaough to know that he would not do this, and that I therefore, wished to retire as attorney and thus avoid further contact with him. She at first seemed reluctant to accede to my wish, but, upon my saying that I was grateful to her for her kindness in employing me and felt that it was my duty to her to voluntarily step aside and thus relieve her from pH embarrassment, she eoaeented that I might do so, but renuested that I continue as the attorney In the claim 'against-the railway eonvi
