Cart r BAUD CONCERTS AT GLEII MILLER PARK Proposed That, a Public Sub scription Be Taken To Make Them Possible. SENTIMENT IS FAVORABLE. BUT THERE IS NO LAW THAT WILL PERMIT THE CITY COUN CIL TO VOTE MONEY FOR THIS PURPOSE. - Members o the board of public works want a public subscription tak en up to meet part of the expense of giving band concerts the coming sum mer at Glen Miller park on Sundays and one other day each week. About $500 would be required to secure these band concerts and members of the board are of the opinion that half this expense would be met by the street car company, as it would be directly benefitted. It was thought for a time that the city would appropriate its share of the expense in giving these band concerts, but President Merrill now states that the ciiy has no authority to appropriate money for such purposes. Sentiment Big Factor. It is a sentiment among a large number of local people that the city could help maintain a band, notwith standing the fact that there is no law on the state statute-books legal izing the appropriatipn of money for such a purpose. It is pointed out that last year an effort was madd to block the appropriation of $100 for the bene fit of the Richmond Art Association's exhibit because there was no law le galizing such an act on the part of council, but that at this juncture City Attorney A. M. Gardner stated to council that the will of the people was mightier than any law. After this speech the money for the art exhibit was appropriated. Majority Are Favorable. There is no doubt that a majority of the people are in favor of public band concerts, Richmond being known all over this part of the country as a musical center. It is the opinion of many' that if council would take the same action in appropriating money for band concerts as it did in appro priating money for the art exhibit, the city fathers would find that they had made a very popular move.

Home Phone 445 Despite the fact that the board of public works has turned down the pe tition of the members of the fire de partment to nave tneir salaries in creased from $60 to $70 per month be f-cause of the present financial condi tion of the city, the firemen are not discouraged because it is not improb able that at the next meeting of the city council an ordinance increasing the salaries of the members of the fire department will be introduced. If such action is taken it is regarded as almost a certainty that the ordinance will be passed when brought up for final action. Councilmen who have been approached by the firemen have stated that in their opinion the fire fighters deserve larger salaries than they are now receiving. Under the present scale of wages it is extremely hard to secure suitable men for the fire department and it is realized that to attact such men to the service it will be necessary to ad vance the salaries. Council objected to the advancement of the salaries of the members of the police department but it had no authority to interfere with the action of the police commis sioners. Councilmen are of the opin ion that the fire laddies are as deserv ing of increased salaries as the po licemen and for this reason it is re garded as probable that council will order the firemen's salaries boosted. Homer Broyles of Delaware county, whom an Insanity commission but re cently declared demented, was brought to this city Saturday' by Sher iff Perdiue of Muncie, and was taken to Easthaven. According to the state ment of Sheriff Perdiue, the condition of young Broyles has been of a most violent nature, and it has been neces sary to keep him under guard as precaution against his killing or maim me persons surrounding mm. It is understood that the physicians who pronounced the jroung man Insane have been unable to determine the cause of his mental derangement Having found two things which might have produced it, in going into the his tory of Broyle's case, the doctors are undetermined which was the direct cause of his derangement. Injured at Football. Two years ago, while the star of the champion Alexandria high school foot ball team, and in one of the big games of the season, he received an injury that might have led to his insanity. The more pronounced cause however, was discovered when the doctors after an investigation, found that Broyles lost his mind after he had failed to pass the examinations which would have gaduated him from the Alexan dria school with his class. The young man is said to have wor ried continually over his failure to pass, which eventually led to hi3 be coming, mentally unbalanced. The case is one of the most pitiful the Easthaven authorities have had to deal with recently, as Broyles is both handsome and of good physique. He at times appreciates his condition and is peaceaoie out is more -otten vio lent. Hopes for his ultimate recovery are few. It is reported that Broyles was in jurea Dy a Kicnmona man, in tne game between the high school of this city and Alexandria, but the report cannot be verified. Phone your want ads to tne Palladi um.

T Own OF MARKLE IS DESTROYED BY FIRE ; Indiana Village Suffers a Loss Of .$50,000. ENTIRE CENTER SWEPT. CONDITION IN INDIANA MAY BE SOMEWHAT RELIEVED BY THE COMPLETION OF TWO NEW INSTITUTIONS. Sheriff Meredith is making every ef fort to place John Thorman in the Easthaven insane hospital. The unfor tunate man has been confined at the county jail for some time and it is stated, his mind is a total blank. For days Thorman made night hideous at the jail by yelling at the top of his voice. His vocal organs have now al most given out by this strain but he still continues to keep the inmates of the jail awake of nights by clapping his hands. Special mittens will prob ably be made to prevent the man from creating this racket. Of late Thorman has shown vicious ness and causes his keepers considera ble trouble whenever they enter the cell in which he is kept in close con finement. A few dayB ago one of the prisoners was reading a story in a magazine while seated in front of the cell occupied by Thorman. After awhile the prisoner plac he maga zine on a chair and xtc'x. elsewhere. During his absence Thorman secured the magazine by stretching his arm through the bars. After securing the magazine his first act was to eat the pages on which the story that was be ing read by the prisoner was printed. As soon as the new southeastern in sane hospital and the epileptic village at New Castle are completed it is thought the Easthaven insane hospital will not be as crowded as it now is and that there will not be as much trouble in securing the admittance of the Wayne county insane to Easthaven. If there had been a million crickets on Main street Saturday night, all cry ing for a prize to be given for the loud est croak, the din could not have been greater than that from the thousands of "crack" buttons given out by the Light, Heat and Power company at its offices on Main street. The buttons are so . constructed as to make a clicking noise, not vastly dissimilar to that made by crickets. If the experience of Terre Haute is repeated in Richmond, all the boys will have the buttons at Sunday school and church, and more than one teacher will be forced to col lect them. Hundreds of people went to the of fice Saturday night where they were served with baked ice cream. It was no joke, for the ice cream was placed in the red hot ovens, and when it emerged was covered with a beautiful brown frosting. That it was delicious as well as palatable, was evidenced by the easy manner in which several de voured many dishes.
