CRIMINALS AND THE
POLICEJCEPT BUSY
Figures on Indiana for the
Past Year.
GAIN IN THE PRISONERS.
Criminals did a flourishing business
In Indiana in 1906 and so did the po
lice. In each profession there was
preater activity than in 1903. Miss
Mary Stubbs 'says that 1906 found
2,000 more prisoners in the state's
Jails thau in the preceding year.
In lier capacity as state statistican
observations. The total number of
people in the jails of the state during
the year was 31.632.-In 1905 the to
tal number was 29.342. This was 637
fewer than in 1904, the number that
ear being 29,979. In 1903 the total
number of jail prisoners in the state
was 29.060 and in 1902 the number
was 26.093. The year 1901 showed, to
tal of 23.9S7. while 1900 showed 21.oi0.
The per cent of increase in 1906, with"
the exception of that of 1903, has been
greater than in any year previous.
Of the 31.632 prisoners in jail In
3906 26.040 were white men and 1,693
were white women. There were 3.
214 colored men and 653 colored wo
men in jail during the year.

WORK OF LITTLE GIRLS.
SEVERAL WANT HIS PLACE,
Hagerstown, Ind.. April 30 Prof. O.
I. Voris. superintendent of the Hag
erstown schools, tendered his resigna
tion to the School Board Monday
tnorning. He has received an invita
tion to superintend the schools of a
larger place where the salary is con
6V, ably, larger ami the opportunities
broader. A number of applicants have
already appeared for the place made
vacant by the resignation of Prof.
Vori.s, but no action has as yet been
taken by the school board.
The Bon Ton orchestra, which gave
a concert last night at the South
Eighth Street Friends church for the
benefit of the Y. M. C. A. fund, is not
connected with the church in ques
tion or any other institution, but is a
private voluntary orchestra club of
little girls who were granted the use
of the church by the South Eighth
Street Friends in view of the worthy
object to which the proceeds of the
evening will be devoted. The enter
prise is being managed entirely by the
members of the orchestra and the en
tire proceeds will be given to the Y.
M. C. A. building fund.
A STRIKE IS ON AT
THE WAYNE WORKS
Twenty-one Men in Cutting
Room Go Out.
NOT A SERIOUS AFFAIR.
FORTY CANDIDATES
FOR THE WOODMEN
The Modern Woodmen adjourned
their regular meeting early Monday
night that the drill team might get
practice for its work next Monday
night on the large class of candidates.
Thirty-six have already passed the ex
amination and it is thought at least
four more will, making a total of forty
candidates.
Because the management of the
Wayne works, refused to grant the
request of a few of the older men in
the cutting room, asking the removal
of Andrew Warner, the foreman, twenty-one
men in the room are now out on
a strike, and the manufacturing con
cern Is materially handicapped in that
all wood work for the machines manu
factured at the concern, originates in
the cutting room. At present the
erecting rooms in which the machines
are put together, are handicapped in
that tney have no bodies to erect.
According to the strikers" statement
the superintendent of the ' plant has
agreed to take the majority of the
strikers back into the fold as soon as
they are willing to go to work.' and it
is probable that a few of them will re
turn to work by Wednesday. Ring
leaders in the strike will under no cir
cumstances be employed, it is said.
STREET CAR STRIKE SET- -TLED
BY INTERVENTION.

street car strike was settled today by
intervention of citizens who got a ten
per -ent increase for the men for two

MEAT INSPECTION
BY GOVERNMENT
SEEMS
ASSURED
The City Council Has Passed
The Ordinance That Puts
The Matter Up to the Na
tional Authorities for Action.
HEALTH OFFICER BOND
WILL GO TO WASHINGTON
No Material Change Made in
The Ordinance and It Was
Passed by Unanimous Vote
At Special Meeting.
NEW YORK RUMOR
PUTS OII HEW FACE
Dispatch from That City Says
Home Telephone Interests
Transferred to Bell.
Dr. C. S. Bond, city health officer,
will leave within the next few days for
Washington, D. C, where he will ap
pear before tbe secretary of agricul
ture and make a formal application
for the appointment of government
meat inspectors for the city of Rich
mond. Dr. Bond announced Monday even
ing that he would take this trip after
council in special session had passed
under; suspension of the rules the
meat inspection ordinance drawn up
by City Attorney Study and a special
committee. This ordinance was intro
duced in council about a month ago.
Changes Not Material
After the ordinance had been first,
introduced it was referred to the or
dinance committee, which reported it
Monday evening without material
change. The only important cjiange
made makes the ordinance read that
the inspection of meat shall be made
on a floor or floors conforming to gov
ernment standards. The ordinance
was originally worded that the inspec
tion should be made on one butchering
floor. The ordinance will go into ef
fect after publication, as required by
law. , Councilman Leftwich, before fi
nal action was taken on the ordinance,
asked if it would not be better to de
lay putting the ordinance into effect,
stating that it would take the butchers
some time to make the required
changes and that it might be some j telephone companies.
MEETS WITH ACCIDENT
Chas. J. Buntell Sprained Ankle
At East Liverpool.
Charles J. Buntell, who left the cits
Sunday night on a four weeks trip
for the New York house that he rep
resents, met with an accident at East
Liverpool, O., on Monday, spraining
his ankle. He was compelled to re
turn home and will be unable to re
sume his duties for a considerable
time. Mrs. Buntell and son, Eugene,
left Monday to spend two weeks at
Wabash, Ind., with relatives, but have
returned home. -

City Baseball League Is Not
Probable in Richmond.
Owing to the fact that none of the
representatives of the various base
ball organizations were present Mon
day night at the call meeting, at which
the city league was to have been or
ganized, no step of that nature was ta
ken. It is very probable that no league
will be placed on the base ball map of
Richmond during the summer. The
lack of interest is responsible.

time before the government appointed
inspectors for this city. City Attorney
Study 'stated that it would not be ne
cessary to enforce the ordinance tin
til the butchers had been given ample
time to make the required changes.
Councilmen agreed with Mr. Study.
Read by Sections.
The city attorney read the ordin
ance by sections and there was con
siderable debate over each section
but no opposition developed. The old
question as to whether this ordinance
would affect dealers in nearby towns
in this county who ship meat into
the city that is not inspected, was
raised. It was explained that under
the terms of the ordinance only meat
inspected in the manner provided by
the ordinance could be offered for
sale here. The city has no authority
to compel the dealers in neighboring
towns not affected by the interstate
meat inspection law to inspect their
meat, but that the city could regulate
the kind of meat to be sold here. This
provision In the ordinance guarantees
the local butchers protection from
butchers outside the city.
Dr. Waggoner, government inspect
or at the Richmond Abattoir company,
was present and he answered numer
ous questions. He informed Mr.
Study that tanks to be used as recep
tacles for offal could not be located
on the butchering floors. The ordin
ance reads that such tanks shall be
connected with such floors and the
city attorney argued that this did not
necessarily mean that the tanks
should be located on the floors. This
part of the ordinance was allowed to
stand as originally drafted.
Little Delay Expected.
At the present time local butchers
have all offal hauled away from their
plants as there has been an ordinance
in effect for some time prohibiting
them from the use of tanks. It is
probable that two or more floors will
be built by local butchers and Dr.
Waggoner expressed an opinion that
there would be but little delay on the
part of the government in naming lo
cal inspectors, if the ordinance Dr.
Bond takes with him to Washington
proves satisfactory. The ordinance
reads that inspectors shall be appoint
ed by the city, it was explained to
council by City Attorney Study that
whoever were appointed local in
spectors by the government would be
appointed by the city. The govern
ment pays the salaries of these offi
cials. The only expense the local
butchers will be put to is in remodel
ing their plants to meet the require
ments of the ordinance.

Such was the wording of a telegram,

s Attorney A.
C. Lindemuth, who is now president
of the Indiana Independent interests,
is out of the city, the rumor could not
be verified from that source. N. H.
Hutton, manager of the BelL Interests
here, stated that he had not been ap
prised of any intention on the part of
the company to absorb the Home In
terests, in Richmond but might not
know until the deal was consummated
between the two interested parties.
According to his statement the Bell
company never takes its managers in
to confidence along this line and it is
thus that he is unaware if such a
transaction has been made. j
New Bell Equipment.
An interesting feature of the local
situation, is the fact that the Bell
company now has purchased and on
the way to this city a large number
of Western Electric No. 1 multiple
sw-itch boards, which were to have
been used in the new building on
North Tenth street. New Bell equip
ment is arriving daily and it is said
that the Bell company will begin work
on a new building, as soon as it can
secure underground privileges but this
is not confirmed. With new equip
ment constantly finding its way to
the Richmond station, and plans under
way for the erection of a most modern
telephone plant, the situation does not
by any means suggest a merger of
the two concerns.

PRESIDENT ESTRADA
INJURED BY BOMB
Washington, April GO. An official
cablegram received by the Latin-
American diplomat in this city today, j
Monday evening after the special
council meeting had been adjourned
Councilman Ogborn stated that he had
a petition concerning the Y. M. C. A.
which he wished to introduce. Mayor
Schillinger stated that the council had
been called to consider only the meat
inspection ordinance, and that Mr. Og-
born's petition would not be in order.
While the councilmen were dispers
ing E. J. Humpe took the floor and
asked the privilege of being heard.
Mayor Schillinger then called the coun
cilmen back to their Keats and had
City Clerk Taggart call the body into
another special session. Mr. Humpe
stated that the outlook for the Y. M. C.
A. movement was very dark and that it
had occurred to -him as a member of
the chautauqua committee to appeal to
the city, which is financially interested
in the chautauqua, to come to the as
sistance of the Y. M. C. A.
Mr. Humpe suggested that at the
chautauqua, which will be held next
August, a day be set aside for the bene
fit of the Y. M. C. A. He stated that
half of the proceeds of the Chautauqua
go to Mr. Shaw and the other half goes
to the city. Mr. Humpe said that it
would be a great boon to the Y. M. C.
A. movement if council would order
its share of the proceeds on Y. M. C. A.
day to be turned over to the Y. M. C.
A. fund. After Mr. Humpe had made
his plea a motion to donate the city's
share of one day's receipts at the chau
tauqua, was made and passed without
a dissenting vote.
For Xhct Y. M. C. A. big meeting at
the coliseum tonight, the doors will bo
opened at 7:30 o'clock and the exer
cises will begin at 8 o'clock. Tho pub
lic generally is invited. There will bra
music by the city band, financial re
ports and short talks.
No financial report is made today
because it is the intention to complete
all such tonight. Hard work is going
forward in the effort to secure tuffl
cient subscriptions to make success of
the project certain.
Managers of the campaign say they
have "nothing up their sleeves" in the
way of large subscriptions and that
the hardest kind of work will bo ne
cessary to bring the total to what It
must be to clinch'the conditional sub
scriptions. However, they are hoping
that when tonight's meeting comes to
a close, not only $S5,000 will have
been secured, but the full $100,000
that it was the original intention to
secure, and which other cities the size
of Richmond have secured, will be
forthcoming. They are relying on
public pride pride that will not allow
Richmond to fall behind what other
cities of the same size have done
to help them.

IVIeat Inspection Ordinance

Meredith' Matthews has returned from
a brief trip to the Jamestown exposi
tion where he went to attend the open
ing Mr. Matthews was highly pleas
ed with what he saw at the fair. He
says that it is of such proportion
that the" workmen have not been able
jto complete it by this time. By the
(latter part of May he thinks every
thing will be in readiness for one cf
the grandest shows of the kind ever
held In America. The battleships, the
ocean and the historic places of inter
erst are. according to Mr. Matthew,
points which make the exposition p.
ticularly attractive to "land lubber''
of Indiana.
