his nearest contestant. Joseph II.
Ulose and L. B. Campbell have re-entered
the race in the teacher's class
with just a margin over the required

shows that the contestants now at

Richmond is still in seconli place
and Cambridge first in the woman

has increased her total vote to over

draw occasionally either to reduce

L0SS WAS QUITE SMALL.
Hose company No. 1 was called to
the barn at the rear of Pat McKinley'o
residence . on North Eighth street to
extinguish a fire, which was rapidly
consuming a phaeton in the buggy
shed. Mr. McKinley's little five-year
old grandchild was in the shed playing
and dropped a match in a large quanti
ty of excelsior. The fire enveloped
the phaeton and soon it was a mass
of flames. Attracted by the cries of
Mrs. McKinley, several men rushed to
the scene and rolled the carriage to the
alley, where the fire was extinguished
by the department. The boy escaped
uninjured. The loss to the buggy
amounted to about $13.

Richmond probably 'Will be Included
la the state council that has been or
ganized by the Jewish women of tn
riiana. The organization was perfect
jud at Indianapolis this week.
The controller of the currency has
issued a report showing the tremen
dous growth of the national banking
business in Indiana since the present'
national banking law went into effect
on March U, 1900. Since that time
121 new national, banks have been or
ganized in -Indiana with a combined
capital of $7,025,000. Of these fifty
one have capital in excess of $50,000,
their combined capital being $3,700,000.
The remaining seventy have capital of
less than $50,000, their total capitaliza
tion being $1,825,000. In only nine
states and territories have more na
tional banks been organized than in
Indiana. They are New York, Penn
sylvania. Texas, Ohio, Illinois, Minne
sota, Iowa, Oklahoma and Indian Ter
ritory. -
In capital invested in national Lahks
since 1J00 Indiana is exceeded only
by six States New York, Pennsylva
nia, Texa. Ohio, Illinois and California.
Jessup states that the grand jury will
be called upon to investigate the
charge that Herbert assaulted his wife
and ten-year-old daughter .Tuesday
night, at wnicn time ne was arresrea
for Intoxication by Officer Golden.
The prosecutor also stated that it is
probable Mrs. Herbert will bring suit
for divorce. Herbert has twice before
been arrested and convicted, once for
assault and battery and once for
drunk. He completed serving his last
term in the county jail only two
weeks ago.
When Herbert was arraigned in the
city , court Wednesday he entered a
plea of not guilty to the charge of in
toxication. This morning he made a
long winded statement of how he had
reformed and was no longer drinking
to excess and that the day he was ar
rested he had only had a dime's worth
of whiskey and a glass of beer. Mrs.
Haywortb, who keeps the rooming
house where the Herberts live, corner j
North Nineteenth and P streets, testi
fied that Herbert was badly intoxicat
ed Tuesday night. Officer Golden
stated that when he arrived at the
Hayworth home Herbert was yelling
out of a window and when he saw
Golden, demanded that he bring his
daughter from a neighbor's home.
Wife Tells Pitiful Story.
The prosecutor then asked Herbert
if he wished to have his wife testify.
He said that he did because she
could prove that he w-as not intoxicat
ed. Mrs.. Herbert took the witness
chair and on being asked the direct
question as to whether her husband
was drunk on ' Tuesday night, she
gazed appealingly at him for a mom
ent then said: "He was under the in
fluence of liquor." The little woman
continued ' in a bitter tone that her
husband should have known better
than to place her on the stand as he
knew she would tell the truth. She
was reluctant to testify concerning his
assault ou herself and the little girl.
"The truth is you are afraid to testify
against him. Is that not so?" asked
the prosecutor. "No sir, I am not
afraid of him but I do not like to do
so. Wieri he gets under the influence
of liquor he nearly . always threatens
to commit suicide and not long ago
he told me if he was ever again sent
to jail he would kill himself, and you
know no wife, no matter how low
down her husband is, would care to
do anything which would cause him to
kill himself," replied Mrs. Herbert,
looking pitifully at the court.
She then said that she would tell
everything and the tale she told was
one to move the heart of the hardest.
She stated that her husband had
struck her" Tuesday night, not hard
enough to hurt, and that he had slap
ped the little girl, who was ill and of a
nervous disposition, being at one time
threatened with spinal menengitis.
She said that the child was now under
a physician's care. Mrs. Herbert
stated that she worked out to assist
in supporting the family. During Her
bert's term in jail Mrs. Herbert and
her two children will be cared for by i Net
Levi M. Jones, who has been under
Indictment for six years past for em
bezzling the funds of the state, while
justice of the peace, appeared in the
circuit court this morning and entered
a plea or guilty. uwing to extenuat
ing circumstances and on the recom
mendation of Prosecutor Jessup, Judge
Fox entered judgment against Jones
without giving sentence, then suspend-
ed judgment.
Prosecutor Jessup, in stating the
case to the court, said that a few days
ago Koss (juiDertson appeared oerore
him and asked that the case against
Jones be dismissed, but this request
was refused. Mr. Jessup stated that
he had no desire to see Mr. Jones sent
to the penitentiary, but that he tola
Mr. Culbertson that he would insist on
the case being disposed of in some le
gal manner.
Recommended Leniency.
The prosecutor further stated that
Lincoln Jones, brother of the accused.
and a sister, had been on Jones'bondJ
and that the defalcation had been a
once paid up and, that Mr. Jones had
promptly resigned his office as soon as
the charge against him had been
brought against him by Charles R. tin
thank, who at that time was sheriff.
Mr. Jessup rlso stated that he did not
altogether hoM Mr. Joi.es to blame for
he defalcation. ui h Ciyvdjm. to
be the tool of others who are now
fortunately for them, out of .reach of
the law, owing to the statute of limi
tations. When Lincoln Jones appear
ed before Mr. Jessup, the latter stated
to the court, he was ' told that Levi
Jones owed as a duty to himself, his
friends and the community, o appear
in court and answer the charge which
had been standing against him for so
lonz a time. The prosecutor recom
mended leniency.
'Conduct Has Been Good.
Judee Fox stated to Jones that cf
late years he had been in position to
observe his ctVduct and that he had
noticed that Jones had always conduct
ed himself in a proper manner, and
that so long as he continued to do so.
no steDS would be taken to sentence
him on the charge to which he had
just admitted his guilt. .
Levi M. Jones was elected justice of
the peace in WTayne township in Feb
ruary, 1S99. In the complaint against.
him it is stated that before January 1,
1901, more than fifty persons who had
been arrested and convicted in his
court, had paid fines to the amount of
$300, which money rightfully belong
ed to the school fund of the state. Ia
May, 1901, Charles B. Lockhart, deputy
state attorney general, demanded this
sum from Jones, who refused to make
a settlement. Steps were then taken
to indict him on a charge of embezzle
ment. On May 29, 1901, Jones re
signed his office.

QUAKERS DROPPED
FIRST GAME By A
VERY CLOSE SCORE
Portland Sneaks Away With a
Victory Through Wildness
Of Pitcher Millam and Betz's
Two Base Hit.
MANAGER JESSUP MEETS
WITH PAINFUL ACCIDENT.
Tears the Ligaments in His
Right Ankle After Having
Made a Pretty Hit Story
Of the Initial Contest.
The Quakers played their first game
at Portland yesterday and lost, but
that was not the distressing feature
to the game In the least for the score
was 3 to 2 and , the outcome of the
contest was not known till the last
man had been retired. The bad fea
ture to it all was that Manager Jessup
tore the ligaments in his right ankle
r nd is now hobbling about on crutches.
The accident occurred in the second
inning just after Jessup had made a
pretty hit and scored a runner. He
was rounding first base on his way to
second when his ankle twisted , in
some rough ground. Although suffer
ing much pain he continued in the
game. According to the statement of
his physician Jessup will not be able
to bear his weight on the injured leg
for two weeks. This means that the
7,000 in ten years. Much of the team will be without a regular catchet
for the time being. John Goehner or
Roy Shattel were booked to catch this
afternoon's eame. If either of them
weather and, the extreme difficulty on Uakes good he will hold down She
place Jessup gets lu the game
again. '
An Interesting Exhibition.
The game at Portland was an, inter
esting exhibition of the National
game and showed that the local team
with a little practice will be able to
keep the fans rooting throughout the
season. The Portland club had the

many of the players had worked to
gether on Portland's fast team last
year. Despite this the Richmond
team held up its side of the diamond
argument In good shape. Jessup's in
jury may have served to make Pitcher
Millam, an Indianapolis twirler who
officiated, a trifle unsteady for he
gave a number of bases at critical
times. Whatever the effect on Millam
the injury did not servo to affect Jes
sup's playing as he stuck nervi'y to
the game and did not make a wobble
which was costly. Jessup's remark
able grit was the talk of spectators
and players as well.
Richmond Scored First.
The first scoring done was by Rich
mond in the second inning, when Kel
ley scored on Jessup's hit. The next
time Richmond bothered the score
keeper was in the sixth. Cunningham
was the tally maker and the way he
did was sensational to the extreme.
He was on first when Jessup sacrific

The improvements at the Wayne

city, has given employment to every
man engaged in the building business
and many are coming here from vari
ous parts of the country to accept em
ployment. Places Are in Demand.
J These men who have come to the
city to accept employment in various
business concerns which are annually
expanding have found it almost im
possible to secure homes to locate
their families and they have experi
enced almost as much difficulty in se
curing rooms at tne numerous board
ing houses about the city. Two young
men came to the Palladium office to
day and asked if they could be directed
to some boarding house where they
could secure rooms. They stated that
they had made a fairly good canvass
of J.he city, but found that all rooms in
desirable places were engaged.
There will be a large number of new
dwellings for rental purposes complet
ed by the early fall, but nearly all of
these have been spoken for. In some

With prospects never brighter the
Richmond base baH season was wr.hcr
ed in today. Old Sol shone as he was
wont to do In the balmy June Entire
Nous days and the palms of the fans
fairly itched for a chance to applaud
the offorts of "OUR TEAM". Music
by the band, a street parade in which
city officials, directors of the base ball
association and the players took nart
were features of the opening day.
Everyone down town seemed to be
interested in seeing the season get
properly started.
The parade of open hacks contain
ing the base ball celebraties started
at the Westcott hotel, went north ou
Tenth street to E, downE to Port
Wayne avenue and up the avenue to
Main street then out to the Athletic
park. Following it was a number of
juveniles whose principal occupation
during the summer will be fence
climbing.
Park Was Not Ready.
Although the park didn't present a
much more appropriate appearanco
than did the Jamestown exposition
last week, there were no knockers.
All were contented to drop down ciost
any place just as long as there was a
chance of seeing the sport. The pane
was scheduled to start at 3:30 o'clock.
This will probably be the time for
starting all week day games in otdpr
to give business men a chance to Bee
them.
Anticipation of what 13 coming was
indulged in by most of those who
gathered at the Athletic park tbU af
ternoon. Many went so far as to pic
ture the diamond and grandstand .,
they will look when put in shape for
the season. No matter how strong the
imagination it is doubtful if any
planned a more up-to-date base ball
park than Richmond will have. Next,
week the work on building the fence,
grandstand and bleachers and grading
the diamond will begin. A part of the
fence formerly used at the Driving
park has been bought and will be put
up on the east side of the park. The
remainder of the fence will be built
of new materiaL The grandstand,
plans for which have already been
drawn, will be a model of Its kind. It
will be built in the general shape of ;
