FOR A DEBATE ACCEPTED BY
RICHMOND HIGH SCHOOL
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
And a Committee Appointed to Or
ganize an Association.

Mr.. Claude Smith of the Steele
high school at Dayton was the
bearer yesterday of a challenge to
the Richmond high school for a de-
bate to take place the latter part of
May at Dayton, and at meeting of
the boys at noon the challenge was
accepted. The boys were divided as
to the acceptance Of the challenge on
account of many other things on
hand al present. Tt is the wish of the
pupils to make the track team the
strongest thing at high school this
spring and it was thought that the
debate would interfere with that. An
other thing was the entertainment to
be given for the benefit of the ath-
letic association, which takes place
the first of May, but since this will
be composed of the publics, in part,
the performers know their lines so it
will not take up much extra time
Steele has always had regular de-
batting society and has had a team for
several years, and in this city, since
debates fell under the bane of the
school board a few years ago, high
school has had no debates. Howev-
er, there may be some good debating
material among the students and if
SO this will be brought out. 1t was
also thought that school studies and
the debate would conflict, but all OBJ
jections were overruled from lack of
money The Athletic Association is
several dollars in debt at present and
the basketball and track outfits must
be bought. On that account it was
decided to give both the entertain
ment and the debate and the chal-
lenge was accepted. The following
were appointed a committee to organ
ize a debating association and to stir
up the students: Florence Shute.
Will Keller, Karl Pierson, Lena Cof-
fin, Hilda Shute, Aubrey Hawkins.

TRAINS PULLING
ONTO CIRCUIT
Would Cut it Off-Panhandle Issues
Orders to Trainmen.
Especial to Palladium

Eaton, o., March 12.-The Dayton
& Western Traction company has
been demonstrating against the objee-
tionable delays to its cars, caused by
the locking Of the d rail by Pennsyl-
vania freight trains at Main street
crossing, and the traction company
has now sought to secure a more sat
isfactory operation of the d rail. The
traction company s ID rail is con-
trolled by electric circuits and train
pulling on to either circuit locks the
d rail and holds it until the end of
the train has crossed the ID rail, the
ends of which are marked by posts
called points of insulation. Trouble
has been caused by trains pulling on
to the circuits, cutting off and then
going for water, and also by trains
pulling over the crossing and on be-
yond the ends of the circuit and then
backing on to the circuit again. To
prevent this unnecessary locking Of
the ID rail the Pennsylvania has issued
orders for trains not to stop after
the engine has reached the point of
insulation until the rear of the train
has cleared Main street and for
trains, once having passed entirely
over both circuits. not to back on to
circuits again if ii can possibly be
avoided. This matter has caused a
great deal of Inconvenience and un-
necessary delays to the traction ears,
and it is to be hoped that the trouble
will be remedied in the future.

ANOTHER NEW
AUTO GARAGE
WILL BE BUILT IN A FEW
MONTHS BY HENRY
WILKE.
THE SCHNEIDER
CARRIAGE SHOP
On South Sixth Street Will be the
Location of the New
Garage. Is

Richmond will soon have another
automobile repair shop or garage"
than the one now being built by M. C.
Henley, on east Main street. The
new one will be operated by Henry
Wilke, who is the agent for several
well known automobiles. and will be
located in the old Schneider carriage
shop, on south sixth street. This
building has not been used for some
time, although strong and well built
one in every respect.
Mr.. Wilke said this morning that
he did not know exactly how soon
work would be commenced on the new
shop, but that in a few months at
least, the machinery will be In po-
sition, and work will be started. Mr..
Wilke intends at least, to have the
shop ready in time for the summer
trade, as this is the best time for
autos.
Richmond is becoming quite en-
thusiastic over the automobile ques-
ton, and it is probable that there
will be large number of automobilists
here this summer. The roads around
here are in fine condition, hard and
well kept, and promise the chaufeurs
many fine runs.

MEETING TO
Be Held SOON
TO MAKE A FORMAL PROTEST
AGAINST THE LIVERY BARN
TO BE ERECTED
ON NORTH TENTH ST.
The Residents of the First Square
Are Justly Indignant and
VIII Protest.

In all probability meeting will be
held soon of the residents of the first
square of north tenth street. The
purpose of the meeting will be to see
what can be done in regard to a
thing which will spoil the first square
entirely for resident purposes-the
erection of livery barn on the north
side of the alley on the west side of
the street, opposite DR.. Hamilton S
office. a#Ia S.
When the lot was sold and it was
announced that a livery stable would
be built on it storm of protest arose
from those living in that square, since
the erection of such building would
cause the price of lots to fall con
siderably.
A meeting of some of the residents
was held Thursday evening, but, with
the exception Of strengthening the
determination to fight the barn to the
finish, nothing was done. A meeting
Of all the residents will be held the
early part of next week, however, and
it is almost certain that a formal
protest will be drawn up and filed
with the proper authorities. Tenth
street has always been considered one
of the best resident streets in this
city and the erection Of livery barn,
which, no matter how clean it may be
kept, will always be the source of
bad odors, and should not be thought
of by any one, and it should be pro-
tested against strongly. Moreover,
the protests will be upheld by all just
and fair minded persons.

A FORMER
RICHMOND MAN
BODY OF JOHN SHOVE, WHO
WAS DROWNED IN WHITE
RIVER, FOUND
He AND WIFE LIVED HERE
He Was Said to Have $1,000 on His
Person, But it Was Not
Found.

The body of John Shove, formerly
of this city, who was drowned few
weeks ago in the Indianapolis food,
was discovered yesterday, near West
Newton, with the chain with which his
attempted rescuer had tied him to
the boat still fastened to him. The
body was found lodged in mass of
driftwood some distance from the
edge of the White river, where it had
been left by the receding water. The
body was in a partial state of de-
composition and search of the body
did not reveal the 1000 which he
was said to have had. as only a rusty
monkey wrench was discovered.
Shove is the man who lived In a
houseboat on the White river and
whose boat was crushed in the ice
jam the latter part of January. He
and his wife formerly lived in this
city, and many people here knew
them.

ings, large audience listened with
close attention to a splendid sermon
on "Relations-Th Church Divine
Relation.
Mr.. Legg said, in the course of his
sermon, that while a man might be
just as good outside of the church
as many who were inside, yet Christ
offers terms of pardon only to those
who have entered His divine insti-
tuition, the church. In other words,
while man may live good, clean
life outside of Christ s church, he can
lay no claim to salvation.
Mr.. Legg's subject tonight will be

quite a bad accident last night at

to the floor, bruising his head and
shoulders. A small artery, above the
ear was severed.

The METHODIST
and The QUAKER
EARLHAM WINS OVER DEPAUW
IN DEBATE LAST NIGHT
uNDLEY HALL CROWDED
To Hear Debate on the Merits Of
the 18th Amendment.

A large and appreciative audience
assembled last night in Lindley Hall,
Earlham college to hear the intercol-
lepiate debate between representa-
tives of DePauw University and Earl
ham College. The question for the
evening was:
Resolved, That the 18th Amend
ment to the Constitution of the
United States has not been Justified.
Earlham.
Negative -DePauw.
The presiding officer for the even
ING was DR.. S. r. Lyons, pastor OF
the United Presbyterian church.
The Judges were John w. Kern,
indianapolis; Charles n. Kendall,
superintendent of the Indianapolis
public schools; w f. Henry, state
librarian. The judges decided unani-
mouslv in favor of the Earlham rep
resentatives.
The entire evenings entertainment
was characterized by enthusiasm on
the part of both speakers and audi
ence. The stage was tastefully deco
rated with the class colors of both
institutions with the cold Flag for
a BACKGROUND. Each speaker was al
lowed 15 minutes for his first speech
and four minutes for his rebuttal
speech. The speakers on each side
were:
Affirmative-Jesse I. Phillips, VIII
liam z. Lear, Jr., Raymond Wehr-
ley.
Negative Ovid F. Mark, George
P. Michel. Edwin H. Gibson.
The affirmative held that the right
of suffrage was a thrust Of power on
the negro. He received and exercised
the right but to his detriment. He
had no mind of his own and was so
cially only a beast of burden. He
was raised to power when he was not
IN condition to exercise it. The mega
tive held that Congress could not
withhold the right of suffrage until
they were qualified. It would be like
compelling person to learn TO swim
before entering the water. To de-
prive the negro from voting would be
Ieeislating in favor Of classes and
therefore contrary to the general
provisions of the constitution.
The negative also showed that the
negro had improved in education and
in material prosperity and was justi-
fed in having the ballot.
The above statements indicate the
general trend of the discussion. Six
wears ago De Pauw held the state
championship but Earlham took it
from that institution and has held it
ever since. Earlham has defeated
DePauw three times during the pres
ent year-in oratory, basketball and
debate. EaIjham has now the undis-
puted claim to the championship of
the state. When the decision of the
Judges was rendered the Earlham
bows rushed forward and bore the
victors from the stage on their shoul-
ders. The college yell was not alb
sent and the close of the evening was
overfowing with college spirit. While
the decision was given to Earlham,
there was a general feeling that the
home debaters had contestants
worthy of their steel.'
