Are Off in a Most Spectacu
lar Manner.
GEORGE MATTHEWS IS IN
THE SHOP MEN'S CLASS.
Gaar Scott Employe Enters
With Good Vote Prof.
Huntziker, Backed by St.
John's School Wants Prize.
With the advance made by the
3Iisses Elizabeth Sands and Elizabeth
Jashley the race for the woman teach
ers prize In" the Palladium and Sun
Telegram Jamestown exposition con
test, at present becomes a three cor
nered affair with Miss Lucile Mayr
etlll included as one of the leaders.
Miss Lashley Is a Centerville teacher
and her friends are working hard for
Jier.
Among the men teachers the event
of mpst consequence during the day
was iae entrance into the contest of
Prof. Huntziker of the St. John's Lu
theran school. It is well known that
the members of the St. John's church
are very loyal to each, other and it is
eafo to say .that Prof. Huntziker, who
is very popular will t run a good race.
Prof. Davis continue to lead the men
teachers butjhe is closely Jbllowed by
rrof. . Richter. Prof.Brunsoh "of "the
Garfield continues to add to his Tote in
B substantial way.
Harry Buntin Runs Strong.
Among the men clerks it seems that
Harry Buntin appreciates the prize at
stake better than anyone and he has
already secured ' a commanding lead.
Miss Elizabeth Hershey holds the first
place among women' clerks with ease.
.Jn this class and in the woman shop
employes race there is a splendid op
portunity for some one else to come
Jn with good chances of winning. It
may le that women are a trifle reluc
tant about taking up such a proposi
tion. They should not be in the least.
The very fact that so many estimable
women school teachers are striving
for the privilege of going on the trip
should be proof sufficient that the trip
will be properly conducted from a wo
man's standpoint.
Additional interest has been created
3n the shop men's race by the entrance
Jnto it of Geo. Matthews, of the Gaar
Scott company. In this class it prom
Jses to be a race of shop against shop.
An employe of the Hoosier Drill com
pany in the office today said that nin
rty per cent of the men at the Hoosier
Drill would work for William Itussel,
who is one of the most popular work
ing men In Richmond. George Knight
of the Starr Piano company takes the
lead over Fred Reynolds of the same i
concern.
A day brings forth many changes in
the vote. Watch the count; it's as ex
citing as a county fair race.

SURPRISE COMMITTEE
GOT ING000 WORK
Pythians Treated to Drill by
The Eagles' Team.
REFRESHMENTS SERVED.
The surprise committee of Coeur
de Lion lodge, Knights of Pythias, cer
tainly got in its work in splendid or
der Tuesday night at the close of the
regular lodge session. The Eagles'
degree team, which has quite an en
viable reputation for difficult maneu
vers, marched onto the floor and for
more than a half hour entertained the
Pythians. They were applauded time
and time again as few drills have ever
been executed on the floor of the Pyth
ian temple with more precision than
those given by the eighteen members
of the Eagles last night. Following
the drill the visitors and members of
the lodge adjourned to the first floor
where refreshments were spread. The
evening was one of the most enjoy
able in the lodge history.

WHERE THE JAMESTOWN PARTY WILL GO.
- - j '
The above cut shows in a far fromliu time of peace nor so inaccessible
adequate way what the Palladium and
Sun-Telegram Jamestown exposition
party will see. A fine expanse of
water, many costly, buildings and a
great fleet of war vessels are among
the pleasing features which the party
will enjoy without a cent of cost.
In. all this broad land from the At
lantic to the Pacific, or from Maine
to Mexico, it would be hard to find
a spot more favored by nature and
environments for a, great International
exposition. There may be other, bod-
les of water as broad and deep as
Hampton Roads, with harbors as land-
locked, but they aro not so accessible
CHANGES HIS PLEA
III CIRCUIT COURT
John Kantner Decides to
Stand Trial on Charge that
Is Made Against Him.
U S ED 1 K N I f-E ON WORK ES;
KANTNER'S CHANGE OF MIND
WAS A COMPLETE SURPRISE TO
SUPT. BAILEY AS HE HAD CON
FESSED. ' John Kantner, against whom the
grand jury has returned an indictment
charging him with assault and battery
with intent to commit a felony, was
arraigned in the circuit court and en
tered a plea of not guilty. Last week
when the man was given his prelim
inary hearing in the city court he
plead guilty to the same charge and
Chief Bailey states that he made a
full confession. Judge Fox assigned
Pauper Attorney Freeman to defend
Kantner and fixed Thursday of next
week as the date for the trial. Kant
ner is said to be a professional "yegg
man" and it is thought he has a bad
criminal record. Kantner's left arm
is amputated at the shoulder.
Story of the Case.
Last week Kantner approached Jos
eph Workes, while the latter was
standing in front of a store on North
E street and requested Workes to give
him some money. When Workes re
fused Kantner slashed at him with a
knife, ripping open the clothing but
Inflicting no wound because of the
knife blade being turned by a button
on Worke's undershirt. After this as
sault Kantner fled but was arrested
the following day in a saloon on North
D street. It is not known what de
fense Kantner will offer.

ABSO-
At the meeting of the tents and
grounds committee of the Chautauqua,
held Tuesday night in the rooms of the
Commercial club, several bids by dif
ferent companies were submitted, but
none of them was decided upon and
will not be for some time. The only
thing of importance considered was
the changing of the locations of sev
eral streets, but this will be left en
tirely to the judgment of the city civil
engineer. The Chautauqua plot will
not be enlarged this year, as last year
there was space for about one hundred
tents which was unoccupied, and it is
not thought advisable to take in more
ground.
Tent Question Up.
In connection with the consideration
of tents, a communication was read
from Secretary Shaw stating that he
knew where the committee could get a
better proposition than it had last
year. As the freight on the tents fig
ures largely in the cost, it is hoped to
secure them from a firr close to Rich
mond. Tho auditorium tent proved the
source of much trouble last year be
cause it would not turn water, and
the committee will endeavor to secure
a tent this year which will be abso
lutely water-proof. ''
Notice of Appointment.
Cambridge City, Ind., April 17 T.
E. Frazier received a communication
last night from Presiding Elder T. M.
Guild, of the Logansport conference,
which was held recently, stating that
Rev. T. P. Walter, late of the Cincin
nati conference, has been assigned to
the M. E. pastorate in this city. Mr.!
Walter comes Mahly recommended, j
not far from here, and not far from
here or from either of them is Appo
mattox, where the strife that centered
in those two cities reached its climax
and its close.
As for buildings there are more than
one hundred at the exposition, not In
cluding those of the "War Path" and
they range in size from the smaller
special exhibit buildings to the mam
moth States' Exhibit Palace of the
Manufacturers and Liberal Arts struc
ture." The lofty columns of the D-nic-Corinthian
combination of architec
ture present an aspect of stateliness
and solidity, and form a beautiful pic
ture of a magnificent Colonial city.
MANUFACTURERS TO
REGISTER PROTEST
Not Pleased With Plan for
Brick Paying on North E
Street, 10th to-16th.
CLAIM IS TOO expensive:
ALSO THAT MACADAM WILL
PROVE FAR BETTER INTEND
TO SEND A COMMUNICATION
TO COUNCIL.
Manufacturers of North E, between
Tenth and Sixteenth, are displeased
over the attitude taken recently in
council in regard to improving the
condition of that street and state that
under no circumstances will they
pcacfully submit to the city placing a
brick street with cement sidewalks
and gutters In this territory. The
manufacturers state , that it is the
height of nonsense, as & brick street
and cement sidewalks and gutters,
are not what they want nor what they
need but that a macademlzed pave
ment, such as other streets of the
city have at the present time, is most
desirable. Brick, according to the
statement of one 'of the prominent fac -
tory owners will be objectionable be
cause of the increased assessment ov
er a macademlzed street and will be
exceedingly dangerous to their horses
during the winter months, when heavy
loads are hauled in the factory dis
trict. Views Are Stated.
In speaking of the matter one of
the men interested said: "It is a rank
Injustice to us. who are among the
largest tax payers of the city. The
city should accede to our wishes in the
matter. It is generally known that in
factory territories, cement sidewalks
and gutters are not needed. We have
good brick sidewalks at present and
these are good enough for factory ter
ritories such as the one our plant3 are
located in. Furthermore the cement
sidewalks and gutters would not last
with the heavy loads daily passing ov
er them. They would be cut to pieces
in a short time. The condition of E
street, between Tenth and Sixteenth is
bad; we know it needs remedying, but
why go to a great expense for an im
provement which will be absolutely
worthless to us? We do not want the
brick. We do not want the cement
sidewalks and gutters and we intend
to make the warmest fight of our lives
to prevent such action. We do want a
good macadam street"
A petition will be drawn soon and
signed by the factory owners In the
affected district and probably will be
presented to the city council at the
next meeting.

LAW'S ACTION MAY
END FAMOUS CASE
OF J..WJEORELL
The Court at Bluffton Refused
To Hear a Plea in Abate
ment Filed by the Defense's
Lawyers.
JUDGE WILL COME
HERE TO INVESTIGATE.
Personal Visit Will Be Made to
The Easthaven Hospital to
Determine Condition of the
Murderer.
Bluffton. Ind.. April 17. Juflge R. K.
Erwin, of Docaturt sitting as special
judge in the celebrated John W. Ter
rell murder case Tuesday, refused in
hear the ilea in abatment filed by tho
defense, or hear any other motions lu
the case until the defendant became of
sound mind and able to appear in
court in person. Tho judge said ho
would make a visit In person to the
hospital at Richmond to ascertain
whether or not Terrell Is in his opin
ion, in a fit condition mentally to bo
placed on trial or to conduct the de
fense of his case.
Case is Ended.
Under this ruling of special Juffgt
Erwin nothing further can b done in
the Terrell case, unless Terrell him
self should become sane and able to
personally appear In court. It has
been said that Terrell has only been
feigning insanity and should Judge Er
win become convinced that, such I the
case when he visits him, he will or
der the state to make an arrest and
will then resume action in the case.
He based his ruling upon the only
similar, case in the United States,
State of New York vs. Freeman.
-" S""' T" State Interfere:
- , . . -
When the motion was hrought tip
before Judge Erwin, the state, through'
Prosecuting Attorney Emshweiler, and
Attorney E. C. Vaughn, filed a motion
to require the attorneys appearing in
behalf of Terrell, to show their author
ity for acting in the case. One made
affidavit that their authority was em
ployed by relatives of Terrell. Tho
prosecuting attorney also made a
showing that no arrest of Terrell had
been made and he was not. therefore,
in the jurisdiction of the court.
Court Explains Why.
The court. In refusing to rule on 1h
motions, Kald that it had come to tho
attention of the court -that the defend
ant was Insane and that it could sub
serve none of his Interests, by taking
.action In the case when he was unable
to go on trial. As to the plea of Rbat
ment, he said that the question of jeo
pardy could only be raised after the
defendant was arraigned, and then it
might be shown that he had been
placed in jeopardy, but that th plea
would not go as to the indictment. He
said that the second Indictment might
not have been legally returned, as con-
1 tended, but there would be no use of
ruling on that at the prenent time.
The attorneys for Terrell said that
they were not ready to Ftate what the
next step In the case would be.
W00LF0RD GETS AH

DISFRANCHISED BYMISTAKE
Willlam Wool ford, against whom
there is a grand jury indictment,
charging him with bringing stolei

the circuit court and entered a plea of
guilty to the charge. Wbolford and
a companion stole two bicycles at
Bradford, O., and Woolford waa ar
rested in- the local Panhandle j-ards
while-asleep in a box car. His com
panion made his escape. The two
stolen wheels were found In the car.
Judgvj Fox asked the young fellow,
who is only l'J years of age, why be
stole the wheels. "I wanted to el
them I needed the money," was
Woolford's indifferent reply. "What
did you want the money for?" asked
Judge Fox." "To buy shoes, said
Woolford.
Judge Fox then sentenced him to
one to fourteen years in the Jefferson
ville reformatory, fined him $10 and
disfranchised him for a year. "Un
der the law he Is disfranchised for tho
