When the police picked up a 16-year-old white girl whom they found culling refuse on the levee, she refused to give them her name or tell them where she lived. She was turned over to the matron, who after two weeks induced the girl to talk about herself. The girl said she had a brother 13 years old and a sister 9 years old, whom she left in a shanty boat several miles up the river. The authorities investigated and after a long search with the aid of a motorboat, located the house boat. The two children ran like deer through the undergrowth of Devil's island, where their floating home was anchored. They were finally captured and brought to the city. They will stay at juvenile court until they can be better provided for by the matron. AMERICAN MARINE RUINS UNION JACK TOKYO, Sept. 5. For having made a United States marine drunk on the Fourth of July at the Grand Hotel, Yokohama, and them dared hjm to pull the Union Jack down from the wall and dance on it which the marine did a German named Herrmann Wohlers has been ordered deported from Japan by -the Japanese authorities. Other actions detrimental to the Allied Powers are alleged against Wohlers but the Fourth of July incident is the principal. He is a bachelor and has lived in Yokohama for three years. He followed no definite occupation. The incident of the Union Jack caused a sensation in the Grand Hotel at the time it occurred, which -was in the middle of a Fourth of July Ball, but everyone recognized it for a drunken lapse and nothing was said about it. The marine was arrested and is now at Shanghai awaiting trial by court-martial.

JOHNSON LEADS SCRIBES MERRY CHASE SATURDAY

INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. 5. This is to laugh. The laugh is not to " be caused by the question which this story may excite but rather by the antics of Nimrod Johnson of the Richmond -gas company at the state capitol shortly after noon Saturday. Johnson strolled up the capltol walk to the Washington street entrance shortly after coon. Fates had decreed the newspaper men stationed at the capitol should be delayed that day and shortly after noon or just about the time of Johnson's stroll, the newspaper men emerged from the Washington street entrance. Johnson almost stumbled into them but apparently did not notice them. With the newspaper men it was a different story. '.'.- They noticed Johnson and became inquisitive for it was the second time that Johnson had appeared at the capitol just at the noon hour when there was every possibility of the newspaper men being absent. His reason for selecting this peculiar hour and the cause of his first and last appearance are not known. But anyway, the commission is just now considering the question of fixing a rate for Johnson's gas company. Reporters Jeep Watch. But here is the laugh. Johnson strolled on and almost to the steps of the capitol. Then for some reason which he may explain, he elected not to enter but to stroll on through the capitol grounds to Senate, avenue at the west side of the capitol. And just for the fun of the thing or because the fact that Johnson did not enter' caused some question, the newspaper men assumed a point of vantage and watched. Johnson strolled on for about three minutes. He was well past the capitol steps at Washington street, when he stopped. He seemed to be thinking, probably of something, he had forgotten, and then he turned around, retraced his steps and entered the Washington street entrance. The newspaper men saw but Johnson did not see them. The moment Johnson turned around and started back to the Washington street entrance, the newspaper men cut across lawns to the Capitol avenue entrance or the east side of the capitol. Visitors to the capitol from the east side or Capitol avenue and from the south side or Washington street, invariably meet at the elevator when their business exists on the second or third floor of the capitol. Reporters Wait for Him. So continued the story. Johnson hustled to the elevator and perhaps to his surprise for they had hustled too, the newspaper men were there waiting for him. But Johnson got to the elevator first and hustled up to the third floor. The newspaper men got the next flight of the elevator. As the newspaper men got off the elevator on the third floor, Johnson was seen to pass the private secretary of the chairman of the commission who had been writing the gas order. The next moment, he was seen going down the two flights of steps for the newspaper men were standing at the elevator. Down and down went Johnson until he reached the first floor. His passage this time had lost his hustling at titude and deliberately and calmly j with his hands clasped behind him,; went Jonnson. On across tne first floor and out the east entrance, into the busy world with only a moment of hesitation at the steps to think again. It was the second time he had visited the capitol at the peculiar hour of noon and the second time he had met newspapermen and missed the com missioners. For Chairman Duncan happened to be at his home in Princeton Saturday while on the first visit, he refused to stop on the street and discuss anything with Johnson. OND'S WORK LAUDED Many complimentary words were spoken for Recruiting Sergeant Bond by Lieutenant Coppock when he was here inspecting the recruiting station yesterday. "August was the first month that Richmond has ever produced the largest number of recruits of any town in the state," the Lieutenant said. "Recruiting for the National Guard is like pulling teeth," said Lieutenant Coppock." Since the law went in effect permitting the regular army recruiting stations to accept men for the national guard, not one has been secured for this service in Richmond." PALAIS ROYAL ADDS LARGE SKY LIGHTS Improvements recently completed at the Palais Royal make it, among other things, the only absolute day light store in the city. New sky lights have been put in and the entire room is naturally lighted. A mosaic floor has been laid in the shirt waist department. The entire store has been re-carpeted with green carpet. The walls have been covered with lincrusta. New fixtures have been added and the woodwork throughout has been refinished in white enamel. On September 7 the Palais Royal will celebrate its sixth anniversary by beginning an anniversary sale. Two years ago the proprietors, who had been tenants, bought the building and added an addition to the rear of the store. MRS. HORINE GRANTED DIVORCE EATON, O., Sept. 5. Divorce and alimony in the sum of $300 were granted Ruth Horine, who sued Harrison L. Horlne In common pleas court. She advanced charges of wilful absence. The couple were married September 14, 1909, in West Manchester. The defendant is said to be living in Darke county. , -. , , . PALLADIUM WANT ADS PAY

When the resolution asking for $180,000 appropriation for a new Main street bridge was presented to the county council this afternoon, was expected to precipitate a warm discussion. The county councllmen are for the most part in favor of repairing the present structure at an approximate cost of $25,000, and will try to get the commissioners to replace their bill asking for a new bridge with one asking for appropriations for repairing the present bridge. Want New Span Built. Commissioners, however, are of the firm opinion that no money should be expended for repairing the old structure. The county council can refuse to appropriate the necessary $180,000 for a new bridge, but cannot appropriate the money necessary for its VICE PRESIDENT TO OPEN DRIVE FOR HIS PARTY Opening gun of the Democratic 1916 drive will be fired September 22, when Thomas R. Marshall, vice-president of the United States, and candidate for the re-election, w'll be here to lead the Richmond, Wayne county and Sixth district forces in a huge rally to be held in all probability at the Coliseum. At a meeting of committeemen to be held at the local Democratic headquarters some time the last of the week further arrangements for the campaign and Marshall rally will be formulated. W. O. Lewis, county Democratic chairman, was out of the city today, presumably to arrange for meetings to be held here later in the month and no announcements from the local headquarters were forthcoming. CHICAGO GIRL DRIVES BIG AUTO TO RACES "Not so bad for the female of the species," lisped Miss Marie Johnson of Chicago, driver of a roadster which had negotiated the some seventy odd miles from Cincinnati to Richmond last night in the remarkably fast time of two hours and fifteen minutes. Miss Reba Wilson, Miss Johnson's company, verified the authenticity of the time. The young women stopped here for a few minutes before resuming their drive for Indianapolis, where they hoped to spend the night Miss Johnson and Miss Wilson had been to Cincinnati to attend the Speedway races and were emulating the deeds of one Mr. Aitken, of Indianapolis. GERMAN WASP SUNK AMSTERDAM, Sept. 5. The body of a sailor of a German submarine was found floating off the Zeeland coast today, indicating that a submarine had been sunk in that region. Zeeland is a province of Holland bordering on the North sea. BLAMES ACCIDENTS ON DEFECTIVE TIRES A. E. Llnd, representing the Lind puncture plugger, attributes many auto accidents to blow outs. He asks drivers if they ever stopped to think how many accidents have been caused by a blow-out while a machine was running at a high rate of speed. He cites the fact that a large percentage of accidents at race courses are caused by tires going bad. The plugger, he asserts is not only a tire, but a life insurance. Louis Chevrolet, designer of the car bearing his name, uses the plugger. The Cole company also uses large quantities of the 'plugger. The Lind puncture plugger has opened a service station near the Standard Oil filling station. The local branch is ready to make demonstrations.

MOTHER FROM LYNN WANTED TO ENTER BABY IN CONTEST

Interest Is Increasing daily in the Wayne county perfect baby contest. Sixteen registrations have been made. Today Miss Kennedy received application for the registration of a baby from Lynn, but was unable to accept it because Lynn Is in Randolph county.

3S WARM DISPUTE

repairs without the recommendation of the county commissioners. A. C. Lindemuth announced this morning that he would appear before the county council and ask it to delay the appropriations for the Main street bridge until an expert consulting engineer was brought here to investigate the situation thoroughly. Since the commissioners favor the granting of the appropriations for the South G street bridge and the Main street bridge at the same time, the bridge committee of the South Side Improvement association which has been present at all sessions today contested the delay.

ILIFF WRITES ARTICLE " I OfJMICMJ SITUATION

Of all the books on Mexico none Is more enlightening than Mrs. Edith O'Shaughnessy's "A Diplomat's Wife in Mexico." Mrs. O'Sbaughnessy. is the wife of Nelson O'Shaushnessy, who took charge of United States affairs when President Wilson recalled our very worthy ambassador, Henry Lane Wilson. This recall of this trustworthy public servant, one who was eminently fitted for the place and the occasion, was the greatest blunder in Woodrow Wilson's Mexican policy. Napoleon once said, speaking of a general's act, "It is worse than a crime it is a blunder!" This blunder of President Wilson's has cost the lives of a hundred thousand men, the death and suffering of thousands of women and children and the loss of over $500,000,000 of property. While the murders went on and the homes and property of American citizens were destroyed by the wholesale, the people of the United States, for the most part, looked on with amazement, and blandly said, "Oh, what a beautiful president! He is keeping us out of war!" To those who appealed to this government for help, President Wilson and Mr. Bryan replied that "our policy does not cover the protection of American business Interests in Mexico." These two "statesmen" advised all Americans to leave the county. They 6aid, "they went there of their own accord, they took the risk and they must put up with the consequences." What a vivid illustration of the weakness of the national spirit in the United States! It was a common remark on American streets that the Mexicans should be left to fight it out and that they should be allowed to buy arms freely so that the end might come soon! President Wilson under this pressure did lift the embargo on arms and subjected our own citizens to the murderous warfare of Villa and his advisor Carranza. He put the innocent Mexican populace and the thousands of Americans In Mexico between the upper and nether stones and there they were crushed while the President was insisting that Huerta should salute the American flag! Hamelton Fyfe, special correspondent of the London Times, in his book, "The Real Mexico," relates this: An official of the United States Immigration Department was arrested by four soldiers without any warrant. He was marched off to the hills to be shot. He ran away and was shot through the stomach. He managed to crawl to the Civil Police Post where they let him lie for twenty-four hours unattended. He was taken by a British Consul and released upon the oath of the Consul that he was a British subject! "I asked him," says Mr. Fyfe, "what his government had done about it." "Done! Done nothing but send John Lind down to make an Inquiry. I tell you," said the American officer, "that the people of my country, so long MISS WICKEMEYER JOINS SCHOOL CORPS Principal Pickell of the high school this morning announced three changes j in the high school faculty for the coming term. Thirty-three of the thirtyelv in otrnotftrc n'i 1 1 Vn ho rr no-din Miss Mary Jlemmersbaugh of Lo gansport, a graduate of Indiana uni versity, who will succeed Miss Mor ris in the department of English; Mis9: Margaret Wickeraeyer, new director of girls' physical training, and a manual training instructor, yet unnamed, will be the new faces in the school faculty. Miss Wickemeyer succeeds Miss Com-j stock, who becomes a member of the Earlham college faculty this fall.

Traveling men invaded the city in groups today. Many motor enthusiasts who attended the Speedway classic at Cincinnati yesterday passed through Richmond enroute to their home last night.

as they get enough to eat and can go to the picture shows at night, don't care what happens. There Isn't as much red blood in the American people as there used to be." This is only one of the hundreds of instances 'of this kind related by Mr. Fyfe at the expense and to the shame and humiliation of our government. Mrs. O'Shaughnessy in her book of Mexican tragedies relates that the British officer. Commander Tweedie, found a miserable, hungry, thirsty, worn out American party fleeing from the hordes of Villas, Zapatas and Carranzas. To Be Continued.
