Harry New's Chance.
There has been much speculation as
to Harry New's chances for re-election
us chairman of the national commit
tee. He figured In several clashes
with Taft, members of the committee,
fcot words being indulged in in one or
two instances, and the admirers of
Jew among republican leaders in In
dianapolis predict his downfall. They
do not argue that he has overstepped
bis authority or that he has been more
persistent than a desire for fairness
would dictate, but with all that ad
mitted, he has aroused the combative
element of the Taft machine and he
has been marked for defeat, if these
radicals should have their way about
It. It is said that New stands close
to Roosevelt, however, and those who
we after his head will be held in check
ntil- the atmosphere clears up and
second sober thought prevails. It will
pertainly offend the Indiana delegatioa
It New is turned down.
Democrats Enthusiastic.
Already there is activity among local
democrats who have turned their eyes
toward Denver. It can be put down
that the crowd going from Indiana will
be small as compared with the repub
lican exoduc to Chicago, but there
iwill be plenty of enthusiasm. There
lias been no decision as yet regarding
the pushing forward of John W.
ftern for the vice presidential nomina
tion, but there is plenty of time for
that. Among labor leaders the hope
Is expressed that John Mitchell will be
pressed for the place, but this will nev
'r be accomplished with Mitchell's
onsent. The only way that the for
mer leader of the miners can be drag
ged into politics is by taking snap
Judgment on him, and for this he is
keeping his open. He has no taste
for the political game, nor does he
possess the least desire for political
honors.

MONITOR FLORIDA
IFact That Boat Was to Be
Torpedoed Did Not Worry
Them at All.
'OFFICIALS SEE THE TEST.
IT WAS DECIDEDLY THE MOST
SPECTACULAR EVER WIT
NESSED in NAVAL CI RONES OF
THIS COUNTRY.
Norfolk, Va., June 13,-Bravving tbe
dangers of possible injury of a cold
plunge In the waters of Hampton
Roads, a score of naval officials re
mained on the monitor Florida when
that vessel was torpedoed off Sewall's .
Point In Hampton Roads Saturday.
Bending an immense column of water
hurling 25 feet in the air a war torpedo
carefully aimed by Lieutenant J. V.
Babcock, commanding the torpedo
boat Morris, exploded with terrific
force against the Florida's side.
I The Florida, although her bulkheads
"were not pierced, settled gradually in,
Shortly before noon she was towed
back to the Norfolk navy yards
where she will be placed in dry dock,
and it is expected will be pumped dry
immediately. A careful examination
will then be made to determine the
xact extent of the damage.
The test was witnessed by Secretary
. of War Taft, Secretary of the Navy
Sletcalf and the postmaster general,
who came down on the ' president's
yacht, the Mayflower. Immediately
after the explosion they went on board
the Florida to look around and see
rhat the extent of the damage was.
Secretary Metcalf was gratified with
the test so far as he knew and declared
that no further power tests of a similar
nature would be made. Never was
uch a spectacular sight witnessed in
Hampton Roads. The other torpedo
fcoats were gathered in a semi-circle
back of the torpedo boat Morris, which
marked the danger line. As the prep
arations for the firing were completed
everyone literally raised himself on
the tiptoe of expectancy. With cool
fceroism, the party on board the Flori
da got under cover in the rear cabin
find awaited the result. There was a
snoraent of silence while the Florida
signalled that all was ready. One
moment of suspense, then Chief Gun
ner's mate Chas. Balliwan pulled the
trigger. Leaving a trembling wake of
white that showed clearly its progress,
the torpedo went straight to the Flor
ida's hull. There was a deep detona
tion and a cloud of water and smoke
rose skyward. For a moment the
Florida was hidden. Pieces of her
Bull and bits of the torpedo rained
down for several minutes, covering an
area of 1.000 yards. "The Florida set
tled slowly. The water was discolor
ed and the air had an ammoniated
emell. In a few seconds the test was
over and the official party scattered.

CONSIDER ADVISABILITY
OF REPEATING PLAY
Farce on Merchant Made De
cided Hit.
The Seniors cf the high school are
considering the advisability of repeat
ing their class play, which scored a
success at the high school last Wed
nesday morninig. The play was a farce
on the Merchant of Venice and made
quite a hit. If the play is repeated
it will be for the benefit of the other
high school students who did not get
to attend at the first performance. The
members of the cast have also been
asked by schools in several neighbor
ing towns, to repeat the play. It is
considered best by the class that the
play should not be given out of Rich
mond.
If possible, the seniors will give
their play next week for the benefit
oi their friends who failed to see it-

DESIRE TO HAVE
NEW RATE MADE
Thought Fire Insurance In
spection Bureau Has Done
The City Injustice.
COMMITTEE MAKES APPEAL
DESIRED THAT MANUFACTURING
CONCERNS AND BUSINESS MEN
FURNISH DATA ON WHICH AC
TION CAN BE TAKEN.
In an efort to have the manufactur
ing- and mercantile establishments of
this city re-rated by the Indiana Fire
Insurance Inspection Bureau, the spe
cial committee on fire insurance, re
cently appointed by President John F.
McCarthy of the Commercial club, has
appealed to the local business men to
assist in this movement by supplying
the committee with data on the form
er insurance rates on their establish
ments, the rate they now have to pay
and the amount of insurance they car
ry. By securing these figures the com
mittee will be in a position to work
with a thorough understanding on the
task that it has assumed. As local
business men are vitally interested in
securing a reduction of fire insurance
rates in this city, it is expected that
they will respond to the appeal of the
Commercial club committee.
Letter Sent Out.
The committee has addressed letters
to the business men of the city. This
letter is in part as follows
"The City of Richmond has recently
been inspected by the Indiana Inspec
tion Bureau, and it is the understand
ing of the committee that there have
been many increases in the rate on
manufacturing establishments. We
are informed that the new Dean sched
ule only applies to mercantile risks and
therefore, of course, does not. apply to
manufacturing establishments. There
are also large increases reported in
mercantile houses.
"In order that this committee may
possibly do some work with intelli
gence, we would be glad, indeed, if you
would immediately address E. M.
Haas, secretary of the Commercial
club, giving him the rate on your es
tablishment prior to the recent
change, and also give him the present
rate and also advise Mr. Haas of the
amount of insurance you carry.
"When this information is received
and tabulated, the committee hopes to
take some action that may possibly
cause this city to be re-rated. And
any information, detailed or otherwise
that you can give to this committee, in
reference to the insurance on your
plant or any other plant, or any com
parisons, will be greatly appreciated.
"E. M. HAAS, Secretary."

ELECTRICITY CUTS ANTICS.
Preceded by a single flash of light

broke over the city at about 5 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The intensity of
the lightning discharge was felt
strongest in West Richmond. Many
persons who were outdoors at the time
received slight shocks. Iron poles and
hitching posts sparked with red and
blue fire and all electric wires vibrat

damage was done, however.
The wind hurled great clouds of dust
about the streets of the city and for

intermittently until near t o'clock.
The sky cleared and gave indications
of good weather. The government pre

stated the rain will be beneficial to

Reports to Wayne County Hor

SOME FRUITS A FAILURE.
THIS IS LARGELY DUE TO THE
COLD IN EARLY SPRING SOCIE
TY WILL PICNIC WITH COMMER
CIAL CLUB.
The crops and fruits of Wayne coun
ty are at the present time in excellent
condition and this year promises to be
a banner one from an agricultural
standpoint in this county.
This pleasing state of affairs was
announced yesterday afternoon at a
meeting held by the Wayne County
Horticultural society. It wrr stated
that all crops, especially wheat, corn
and hay, were in prime condition and
that the harvest next fall would
bring thousands of dollars into the
pockets of the Wayne county farmers.
The fruit conditions are highly sat
isfactory. Every class of fruit, except
apples and cherries, will yield a full
erop. Apples this year are a failure.
They suffered greatly from the cold
spell in the early spring and are rapid
ly dropping off the trees. . There is
only about a half a crop of cherries
but what cherries there are on the
trees, are in good condition. The loss
of half the cherry crop is also due to
the cold weather of the early spring.
At the afternoon session of the so
ciety an invitation from the Rich
mond Commercial club, inviting the
members of the society to attend a
picnic which will be given by the
Commercial club- next month, was
read and accepted. The picnic will
he held at Glen Miller park.
Mrs. Mattie King addressed the
members of the society and spoke in

It will be strictly a meeting for the
purpose of paying tribute to the de

its error of omission. The committee

FOR GOOD ROADS
Good Roads Congress Desires
To Send a Speaker to
This County.
COMMISSIONERS TO ACT.
The board of county commission
ers has been notified by a represen
tative of the Good Roads congress,
that it would like to send a represen
tative to this county for the purpose
of delivering a public address. The
commissioners are appealed to as the
proper authority to support such a
move owing to their familiarity with
the road conditions in the county. It
is probable the board will accept the
offer and make arrangements for the
meeting.
The Good Roads congress takes this
method of informing the general pub
lic of the country in regard to what
is to be gained by good roads through
out the country. It Is a campaign of
education. ' The many advantages of
good roads will be emrmerated and
the speaker will endeavor to con
vince his hearers that every township,
county and state will derive beneficial
results by keeping its public high
ways in condition. As the rule the
roads in Europe are far in advance of
those in America. It is claimed by
authorities on the subiect that the
American system of road improve
ment is to blame for the poor roads.
It is claimed the proper methods are
not employed and repairs often work
to the disadvantage of the perpetuity
of the roads.
