EXERCISES WERE HELD IN THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH BECAUSE TRUSTEE PARKS WAS REFUSED USE CF METHODIST STRUCTURE There is considerable feeling; exist ing between , Trustee A. B. Parks of Boston township and the trustees of the Boston Methodist church. The trouble originated over the commence ment exercises of the Boston township schools which were held Thursday ev ening at the Christian church. There has been considerable agita tion in Boston of late favoring the placing of cement sidewalks on all the streets of the village. Mr. Parks, be sides being township trustee, is also one of the trustees of the Methodist church, which has the largest seating capacity of any building in the town. He desired to have the commence ment exercises held at the Methodist church and as it had been decided to establish a new precedent by charging a ten cent admission to these exer cises Mr. Parks made a proposition to his brother trustees that part of the proceeds derived from the commence ment exercises would be turned ' over to the church to help meet its assess ment for the cement walks. Was Refused the Keys. The trustees were pleased with the proposition and accepted it. Thurs day morning Mr. Parks went to the Methodist church for the purpose of decorating it but the janitor refused to give him the keys. When pressed for a reason by Mr. Parks the janitor stated that the trustees had ordered him not to allow Mr. Parks the use of the church for . the commencement exercises. In high dudgeon Mr. Parks-immediately went to the. trustees of the Christian church, which is quite a small edifice, and made them the same proposition that he had the trustees of the Methodist church. The proposi tion was accepted and Thursday night the small building was simply pack ed, the accommodations being entire ly insufficient. The action of the Methodist church trustees in turn ing down Mr. Parks' proposition after once accepting it remains unex plained. The Incident has created considerable talk in Boston township.

NELSON SAYS THE MEN ARE IN THE ATTITUDE OF STRIKING AGAINST THEMSELVES AS THE -CONCERN JSwC-QpijRAIA The following St. Louis dispatch will be of Interest In Wayne county, owing to what Mr. Nelson has done for Dublin: One hundred machinists employed at the co-operative village of Leclalre, near Edwardsville, 111., founded by N. O. Nelson, president of the N. O. Nel son Manufacturing Company of St. Louis, declared a walkout yesterday afternoon. According to Mr. Nelson, who de parted for Kansas City last night, the men are in the position of striking against themselves, as each is a stock holder in the Leclalre company, and directly interested in the business. The striking machinists are in the brass shop and in the- machine shops, but while their union affiliations are separate they are united in the pres ent demand for a 10 per cent, increase In wages. Mr. Nelson, in a speech to the men yesterday, blamed the international union for the dissatisfaction manifest, and advised them not to act hastily. Each union held a meeting yesterday morning and gave the management until 2 o'clock to accede to the de mands. The men quit at the appoint ed hour. Leclalre is a suburb of Edwardsville and partly Inside the city limits. It was founded several years ago by Mr. Nelson, to put into effect his philan thropic ideas of a co-operative town. Nelson Addresses the Men. In his speech to the striking work men yesterday, Mr. Nelson said: "The international unions are not familiar with the Leclaire idea- and cannot pass on Leclalre conditions of employment or know what demands are reasonable. Unionism is impor tant and useful for certain purposes, but in our case it has never in any manner benefited our employes, for the reason that Leclaire was establish ed and has been conducted entirely for the benefit of the employes, and whatever the management can afford to do is done without compulsion. "The employes and customers now own a large portion of the company and in three or four years will own practically all. By actual figures we are paying higher wages than the ma jority of the shops making similar goods. . "My interests are chiefly in behalf of the shops and the men receiving lower pay. ; The Nelson employes, not only in Leclaire, but In Bessemer,, St. Louis and elsewhere, are absolutely self-employing. No trouble of any kind has ever arisen between us or ever can except by command of for eign authorities, the International un ions." CONDUCTOR HAYES IS IN CRITICAL CONDITION. J. J. Hayes, the conductor who was Injured last Sunday in a G. R. & I. wreck near Colletts is critically ill at his home in Ft. Wayne.

GAME SLOW THROUGH VISITORS' WEAKNESS. Large Week Day Crowd Saw The Opener and Liked Play Of Richmond Aggregation Rodenbach Looks Good. SUMMARY OF THE GAME. Richmond defeated the All Ken- tuckians 12 to 2. Game was slow and one-sided. The Colonels could do nothing with Rodenbach. Errors, bases on balls and good hitting helped the locals to win. Bud Lally umpired the game. Mayor Schillinger pitched the first ball. . It's all over but the shouting. The' baseball season in Richmond was for-; mally opened Thursday afternoon at' Athletic park In the presence of diver city and county officials, prominent business men, society leaders and sev eral hundred of mere populace. Tha season was opened with the usual time-honored ceremonies but best of all it was opened with a victory for the locals, who trounced the All-Ker.-tuckians 12 to 2. , It was a lop-sided, affair and as slow as a funeral march, but nevertheless the Quakers won about six hundred happy homes - by their work. - Everything was ideal for the open ing of the season, except, of course, tho seating arrangements. The big week day crowd of about six hundred an-I several hundred kids, was strewn on three sides of the diamond. Back of an ancient 'wire backstop, two hun dred men held down a dinky little UaaU v The. remainder , of .tie crowd . sprawled 'on the grassy sward or an chored themselves to camp stools pro vided by ground ' keeper "Doc" En field and a corps of polite and gentle maply assistants. Under the circum stances ; the crowd was well handled and comfortable. Sassy Grey Scenery. After the Quakers had taken their warm up, dressed in their sassy grey coming out gowns, the diamond was cleared, and Judge H. C. Fox; of the circuit court, marched toward home plate, followed by his suite of county and city officials and stockholders la the Richmond 'Amusement company. A dense silence fell as the judge clear ed his throat. . Then in the midst ot some more silence His Honor said: 'T did not expect to come here this aft ernoon, but Sheriff Meredith came aft er me with his handcuffs and mace and compelled me to be among those present." Judge Fox then told what a great, game our national pastime Is; how the Richmond Amusement com pany had shown worthy enterprise In putting a fast team in the field an I that the company should be7 given en couragement In its venture. He wound up by stating that work would be Btarted immediately on a large, commodious grandstand and that tfca diamond would be put in the best con dition. Judge Fox's remarks wera greeted with enthusiastic cheers. While the large noise was still in progress His Honor, the Mayor, Dr. R. S.

His Honor, the mayor, slings from the starboard side and has a motion like a windmill. Keller for the enemy, swung at the ball, which he could have hit had he been perched on a step ladder. This little stunt concluded, Manager Jessup, who held down the bench, owing to an extremv Iy fat leg, "sicked" his pennant chas ers afield and Mr. Keller with a large wagon-tongue, again stepped to his po sition in the batter's box.
