It "Will be noted in tho vote that a few names have been dropped from the list. This was done at the request of the persons, themselves, and those who have been voting for them, should not send in any more ballots unless they see tho persons, whose names have been taken off the list. The Pal ladium and Sun-Telegram does not "want- to keep anyone in the contest who does not desire his name in it. There Is hardly anyone who would not accept the privilegs of "making the journey to Jamestown as planned by this paper, but many have not the time orthe inclination:'' to tryfor-the prize. It will bo considered a favor by the contest manager if candidates who do not care for. their name to appear will notify the office of this fact.

Tho Palladium and Sun-Telegram does jiot want to make the contest objec tionable to anyone. ' : Time of Making Count.

IT IS PROBABLE THE CASE WILL BE TURNED OVER TO THE JURY BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. The case of Mrs. Sarah M. Harvey, who is suing the Big Four railroad for $3,000 damages, still occupies the attention of the circuit court. This is the third day of the trial and it is expected that arguments in the case will be heard tomorrow morning. It is probable that the case will be turned over the the jury Thursday. Mrs. Harvey was injured a year ago last January at Mooreland, Ind., ten miles east of New Castle, while walk ing up tho steps of the station one dark night. Mrs. Harvey testifies that there were no lights displayed on the station platform and as a re sult of this negligence she tripped on a step and fell, breaking her knee cap and suffering other injuries. Mrs. Harvey appears in court each day and uses a cane to assist her in walking. She has a pronounced limp. To show the extent of the injuries. Mrs. Harvey sustained, X-ray photo graphs of her broken knee cap have been introduced in the case. These photographs were taken shortly after the accident and clearly show the broken knee bones. This is one of the-few cases ever tried in the circuit court in which X-ray photographs have been introduced and admitted as exhibits. They were the objects of much attention from the jurymen.

PIRATE GREW BOARDS jNEW STATE LAWS STEAM ROAD ROLLER! diit mm ccccpt West Side Lads Planned a Cruise, But the Machine Was Out of Gear and Wouldn't Go. A gang of youthful west side pirates made a desperate attempt a few days ago to capture the big city steam rol ler, as she lay at anchor on Kinsey street. The bold attempt was made at the noon hour.-when Captain OHie Staub and Jake Cutter, the crew, were on shore leave, partaking of their mid-day meals. When Staub and Cutter forsook the steam roller they left the fire under the boiler banked. When the pi rates boarded the craft, they immedi ately raided the coal box. heaped fuel on the fire and soon had it roaring at a merry rate. After they had got up steam the leader of the piratical gang announced that everything was ready for a cruise and suiting his ac tions to the words, pulled the throt tle wide open. SLEPT III THE OPEN; HAD NO COMPLAINT Mr. and Mrs. John Bradley Spent the Night on North Tenth Street Lot. NOT A NEW EXPERIENCE. COUPLE CAME HERE FROM DUB LIN AND HUSBAND HAS FOUND WORK THEY HAVE NOW SE CURED A HOME. Earlyr this morning some person liv ing in the north part of the city tele phoned to police headquarters and stated that there was an old couple camping in a vacant lot on North Tenth street, opposite the tobacco factory, and that they were buffering from exposure. Sergeant McManus atonce""dls patched Officer Edwards to investi gate the case. About 9 o'clock Ed wards returned to police headquarters and stated that he had found the cou ple, but that they were not aged, nor were they suffering from exposure. They were Mr. and Mrs. John Bradley, late of Dublin, Ind., and were making the vacant lot their home because they had been unable to find suitable lodg ings. It was bitter cold Tuesday night and Mr. and Mrs. Bradley slept on the cold ground with nothing over them but a small blanket and a tarpaulin. When the police officer arrived they were found eating a substantial, breakfast, which consisted of coffee, bacon, eggs and bread. Neither .of them seemed any the worse for their night in the open, with no roof but the cold star ry skies in fact, they seemed to be enjoying most excellent health and spirits. Bradley informed the officer that he and his wife, had just recently arrived in Richmond. He had come from his Dublin home in search of work and had found employment hustling freight at the Panhandle freight sta tion. Being unable to find lodgings they had gone into temporary quar ters in the vacant lot. Mrs. Bradley was clad in a calico dress and wore a man's shoes. "I was raised in the country and I have traveled about a good deal," said Mrs. Bradley, so sleeping in the open is no new experi ence for me. I have slept out lots colder nights than last night and have had no more protection." She is a bright-eyed little woman and looks the picture of good health. About noon today Bradley found a home for himself and wife which is provided with four walls and a roof. ASSAULT- IUHE CHARGE Earl Blue of Centerville, Was Placed Under Arrest.

They state that be fore abandoning the craft it was thrown out of gear. This was all that prevented the boys from taking a cruise about the streets of West Rich mond. NOTHING TO GAIN IN SMALL BUILDING Figures Compiled Show It Is Better to Have Large Y. M. C. A. Structure. WILL MAKE IT SUSTAINING. FALSE IDEA HAS HINDERED THE CANVASS GREATLY STANDING OF THE SQUADS AMONG THE YOUNG MEN. ' Last Report $66,427.50 Reported today 860.00 . $67,287.50 The above includes the conditional t offers. - The various-members- of the com-. mittees working for the realization of a Y. M. C. A. In this city have encoun tered men who have said that the fund is large enough for a building in- this city, and if a larger building is erected, it will cost more to maintain it than it would to properly run a smaller building. This has hinder ed the canvass a great deal and sev eral men have made this their excuse for not giving more. The truth of the whole matter is that a smaller as sociation costs more to maintain than does a large one, in that the chances for income on the large buildings are greater than with a smaller structure.! The expense of maintaining smaller Y. M. C. A.'s each year above the re ceipts, In towns of Richmond's size, by far exceeds the cos where build ings have been erected at an expense of $100.X)0 or more. In the probablo figures compiled as to Richmond's Y. M. C. A., it is shown that the costs of maintaining the institution over and above the actual receipts, will only be .$2SO per year, making it practical ly on a paying basis. These figures are based on an $S."XV building. The standing of the young men's committees up-to-date, fo.lows: Geo. Bartel How ard Dill . . L. C. Peacock W. S.

I U I 111 I U L1ILUI By PROCLAMAT Work of the Last Legislature ..From This Time On Will Be Directly Impressed on the Public Mind. 2-CENT BILL IS ONE OF THE MOST PROMINENT. Transportation and Shipping Are Affected Much for the Good of the Schools Was Notable Assembly. Indianapolis. April lo.-Ry pfflxln.!? his signature to a proclamation pre pared last week. Governor Hanly to day put into effect the acts of the last legislature. This Is the earliest date that the laws were ever proclaimed. In former years the laws were pro claimed in June. Then the time was reduced to May. Two years ttgo re ceipts for published copies were re ceived from all county clerks in tho state by April .15. The gain of five days this year is due to the tireless en ergy and diligence of Frank Grubbs, assistant secretary of state. Two-Cent Law Prominent. Prominent among the new laws I the one establishing '2 cents as th maximum rate that may be charged by steam railroads. This law is in keeping with similar acts passed Su Ohio, Pennsylvania, Nebraska, Vir-ginia,- Minnesota and other states. When cash is paid on trains, conduc tors may charge 2Vi cents a mile, but the excess must be covered by a rebate slip redeemable at any office of tho company. This concession was mado in order to place a reward upon tho purchasing of tickets at the regular offices of the carriers. . It is inter esting to note that the railroads liaa tentatively announced that the new law will not effect interstate rates al ready in existence. The Interstate Commerce Commission probably will be '"called upon to force the roads to put their through rates on the 2-ceiit basis, inasmuch as that body has al ready declared that Interstate rat shall not exceed tho sum of tho local rates between Intermediate points. Transportation and Shipping. Various laws affecting the transpor tation and shipping interests of ths state are among thoe now proclaim ed. Foremost in this lift is the so called shippers act, which was sign ed by the governor In substantially the same form in which it was intro duced, except that the section provid ing that shippers be pwld for return ing cars ahead of time was omitted. Other important provisions of thl act Include a feet ion relative to tho proper pro-rating of cars in case cf shortage; one that freight go forward at an average speed of at least fifty miles a day; another penalizing car riers for not furnishing cars prompt ly when asked to do so by a shipper; and another authorizing the railroad, commission to apply to court for a temporary receiver to operate a road whose officers may ignore or refti-H? to obey the orders and rules of the commission. A law reinforcing tho act creating the railroad coaunlssio! is another transportation measure. It provides heavy penalties for viola tions of clauses.' doing away with prus-ent- day railroad evils. Tapn to gether, the shippers act and the rail road commission act, form a law which declare that the state of Indi ana is greater and more powerful than any corporation operating within in boundaries.
