School Teachers in the Small
Towns About Richmond Get
Ballots From Patrons of
Their Schools.
MANY MORE CLERKS ARE
ENTERED IN THE RACE.
All Classes Filling Up and
Those Now Running Get
More Votes Miss Marie
Hodskin Jumps Into Lead.
Many of the country people who
c-ame to Richmond today had another
object in view than to trade, and that
was to deposit votes for their candi
dates in the Jamestown contest. The
Palladium and' Sun-Telegram office
was visited by many 'farmers this
morning, most of whom had votes for
school teachers to whom their children
fro to school. From the number of
votes which came in today, tho indi
cations are that this phase of the con
test is to be one of the most inter
esting. There are many new names in the
contest today, in fact so many that a
new rule must be made governing the
time of making the couut. So many
votes flood the contest manager at
noon that he cannot get them all count
ed and a statement ot them , prepared
jfnr thu evening paper. , it will befc nec
essary to have tho votes come in of
un evening in order to get them count
A for the-paper of the following day.
In other words the count of votes will
be made each morning , the first thing.
If the present increase keeps up it will
Tequire out man a 'good port ion of t he
day to count and compile the votes. It
eems that everyone who , takes the
Palladium and i Sun-Telegram is clip
ping his ballots. , The subscribers
are interested in the event and all the
candidates now have to do is to get
the votes. The race for securing the
votes is now on and it promises to be
the prettiest event of its kind ever
tried in Richmond.
Right now the people living outside
of Richmond are taking up with the
contest perhaps better than the city
jieople. Miss Marie Hodskin at Cam
bridge City Is getting votes fast. To
day she jumps into the lead in her
class taking the place of Miss Danner,
who led yesterday.

With the variable weather the con

j the attitude assumed by young Nes-

it he will kill himself.
The letter in part reads: "I cannot
help but feel that it is no more than
the most hindering element in tho
construction of the new buildings and
as the contracts call for their comple
tion before August, and the work is
only about one third completed, they
probably have room to be disgruntl-

; that when Mr. White was shot that j
it would be a heroic act on my part
er the work and on several occasions
it has been stopped for several days
;to stand by a man whose memory v considering these adve
j was to me so precious. I believed , has progressed rapi
him to be the only man that was
great, kind, good and honorable. To
me he was a king and he won my
childish affection. If he was a bad
man I-did not know it. For I was
only a child and 1 could easily have
on account of the elements. Work,
,-erse
dly.
The car shortage on the various rail
roads of the country has also interfer
ed with the work, as at times it has
been impossible to secure brick as
ifast as they could be used, although
been deceived as to his real nature.)
! in many instances the materials used
Vhat I told Jerome was all a lie. I
I lied thinking it would help the man I
thought was so good.
"After Florence, told her story on
the stand, believe me, I was with her
then heart and soul. I never intend
ed to say a word against her. 1 was
influenced by artful and designing
persons who urged ' me on to take the
stand I- did. Thy can be found in
this city, .not. fair a y either I love j
ana cnerisn riorence as any urocner
should and it breaks my heart I can
not see her. I want to see her and
tell her how sorry I am. She would
listen to me, I'm sure. I am very un
happyhave made myself sick with
worry. I do not seek to hide my
feelings. I believe you were right
and justified in doing what you did,
and you are, now, , in my estimation,
more than a hero.
"I wrote to Florence ,but she' seems
bitter toward me yet. I asked her to
let me have $100 if she could spare
it and she answered that she has no
money and so I must appeal to you.
Perhaps I was wrong in coming here,
but my parents are responsible for
that. I want money to stay here un
til I can get a position and be inde
pendent of everybody else. Won't
you help me? If you fail me I don't
know what I will do. I would rather
kill myself than have to go to certain
persons in this city for help and I
won't write home for money. I feel
like ending it all."'

Comments on Verdict.
Harry Thaw, his wife and lawj-ers
comment on, the outcome of the trial
as follows:
HARRY THAW I could hardly ex
pect anything else in view of the ev
ents of the last few days. I believe
every man on the jury possessing av
erage intelligence, except possibly Mr.
Bolton, comprehended the weight of
evidence and balanced if for acquit
tal.
MRS. EVELYN THAW I can't un
oerstand. I don t see why they
couldnt have come to some agree
ment. They ought to have acquitted
him on the evidence.
ATTORNEY HARTRIDGE I hope
that we shall have a new trial speed
ily, and that the next time it will not
be necessary for the presiding judge
to have to charge thejury that we are
living in a civilized community.

Its Greatest Prosperity.
The Hoosier Drill company is about
to enter on the period of its greatest
prosperity as the output of the factory
will be doubled and an Increase of sev
eral hundred men will be made in
the present force to properly care
for the huge business. '
The new foundry buildingIs prac
tieally. compicfe and . will . be turned
over for that purpose in the course of
the next ten days or two weeks. Op
erations will begin in It then with
a double force of moulders over those
which have been working in the old
foundry. About ninety moulders will
be employed In the new addition and
the plant will now be able to care for
this end of its business. This origi
nating department has always been
so small that it could not properly
care for the output of the plant, and
has neccesitated the company buying
its castings from other manufacturing
firms of this city and out of town con
cerns. With the increased, foundry
capacity, however, the Hoosier Drill
will not be required to make purchas
es of this nature. Where the old
cupola in the old foundry room turned
out about 8 to 10 tons of molten metal
! per hour, the new one will turn out
18 to 20 tons per hour. In order to
furnish the power for the new and
powerful blower, which will be install
ed in the new foundry room, a fifty
horse power electric engine will be
placed, the power for which will be
furnished by the municipal plant.
Old Structures Will Go.
Weather permitting, in two weeks
time the building operations will have
continued to such a degree that the
old smithing department, foundry,
grinding and cleaning rooms can be
torn down and operations will be car-

At the meeting of the building com
mittee of the Earlham board of trus
tees, held Friday at the college, plans
for the new heating plant for all the
college buildings were discussed, but
no definite arrangements were made.
The plans of Architect W. S. Kauf
mann, which call for an outlay of be
tween ?J.,X0 and $30,000 for both, a
complete lighting and ' heating plant,
were considered, but the committee de
cided to; postpone; the, matter until It
could be ascertained just how much it
would cost and how much they could
raise for the purpose. That the col
lege needs a new heating plant, goes
without saying, as the present accom
modations are very crude and unsat
isfactory. Trouble has always result
ed in heating Earlham and Lindlcy
halls, and it Is the plan of the commit
tee to erect such a modern plant that It
will meet the needs of the college for
years to come.
Plant for All Buildings.
According to this plan, the new
plant will be located to the rear of
Earlham hall and will furnish heat
for Perry, Earlham and Lindley halls
in addition to the new boys dormitory
and the library. The gymnasium
will also be heated by the plamt. After
a time a complete electric lighting
plant will be installed in the build
ing occupied by the heating plant. This
however, will come later, when more
funds than are at present in sight, can
be raised. With the construction of j
the new heating plant and the newi
dormitory and library, Earlham col-J
lege will have spent about SIOO.OOO on;
new buildings.
The committee also expressed its
willingness to connect with the new
west side sewer when it is completed.
This will be a very easy matter as a
branch will be run to this point. The
Earlham authorities await the actio.i
of the city in regard to the sewer proposition.
FIRST TO SERVE
ALL ITS READERS
The Palladium and Sun-Telegram yesterday
demonstrated the efficiency of its news service and
mechanical equipment by serving all its readers with
the Thaw jury's verdict FIRST. Twenty minutes
after the first flash came over the wire that the
Thaw jury had disagreed the Palladium and Sun
Telegram carrier boys were receiving the regular
evening edition of the paper to be served to all their
subscribers. This too, in spite of the fact that the
.entire first page was rearranged and three cuts of
principals in the trial placed on it. The paper which
the Palladium and Sun-Telegram put out was no slip
shod extra to be served to a few people who hap
pened to be down town. It was a complete evening
edition well printed and well illustrated.
For Completeness and Speed
The Palladium and Sun
Telegram Always.
Richmond Is in the throes of one or
the worst car shortages la the history
of the city, according to the state
ments of local manufacturers. The
car shortage on the Pennsylvania ha
affected local manufacturing concerns
to suck an extent that they have lost
thousands of dollars during the past
few weeks, because they could not t-e-cure
enough car from the railroads tJ
ship their products on schedule time.
Special orders have flooded the local
seeding machine and other manufac
turing concerns In the city, and after
the products have been completed and
ready for shipment on the Kpeclfled
date, given in tho contracts, the rail
roads have not been able to furnish
cars for transportation,- hence the or
ders have had to be cancelled. It ia
. . 1 ii.. 1 HI. r 1 f
(Manually iDipinsiui lur iifuni vuu
cerns to secure enough cars for th
transportation of their products and
as a result they have been compelled
to cancel hundreds of common orders
In the past two 111 on t lib. -,
How One Concern Lott.
One local concern, which handles
farm machinery, has been .severely
handicapped. The seeding season In
the north and northwest ia on and dur
ing the warm weather of March tho
farmers in those regions became anx
ious to secure their machinery that
they might plant early. Orders came
to the local manufacturing concern In
hundreds. The machinery was ready,
but the company could not secure cars
to ship It. When this prediciment fac
ed the manufacturers they cancelled
thousands of dollars worth of orders.
Other planters who contemplated buy
ing of the local concern turned their
eyes In other directions when they
found that their wants could not bo
accommodated. The present cold
weather has stopped the orders for
spring seeding machinery to a consid
erable extent but nevertheless the lo
cal company, has had to turn down or
der after order through its inability to
ship and consequently at a loss which
amounts well up in the thousand of
dollars. The whole loss Is blamed to
the railroads for bad they given tho
proper accommodations to the local
concern, or had. been In position to do
so, the local company would not have
been required to cancel such a groat
number of orders.
Another manufacturer In speaking
of the matter said "Sometimes we get
cars, sometimes we don't, but the lat
ter statement holds good the most of
the timo." According to his state
ment there has been no time in the
past three months that his company
has been able to secure enoucii cars to
ship the output of the plant, and meet
the orders which have come into the
offices of the company.
Freight Station Too Small.
One manufacturer took exception tv .
the smallness of the local Pennsyl
vania freight station, saying tlrat whf.n
j goods are delivered there the station
j i3 so small that it can not bf handl
j ed properly. So far as handlln? the
j local freight Is concerned, he said, the
condftSons are worse than nothing.
Every load of freight going to the
station, according to his statement,
requires a much longer time to unload
than It should.
One local concern basis its gros
loss this spring due to the car short
age at $25,0w. This is the greatest
however, while the other factories
place their losses at from a few hun
dred to several thousand dollars. The
whole will run to about $50,000 or
$73,000 fn Richmond alone. "
Railroads Blame Shippers.
The railroads claim that the ship
pers are as much to blame as the
railroads and state that they have
figures to show that the greater per
cent of delay fn the movement of cars
throughout the west and In Richmond,
Is due to the delinquency of shippers
In loading and unloading cars. They
also state that they cannot help them
selves, owing to the gr-at commer
cial development In the past two
years. The Pennsylvania, now has
about fifteen thousand cars of their
own on other roads, which they can
not bring back or Rcir. lxvaus-1''
