DIDN'T ACCEPT SIDEWALK
WORK Is UNSATISFACTORY
Upon Recommendation of City Engi-
neer Board of Works Refuses to
Pay Contractor Schneider for &C.
ment Work on North Ninth.

Upon the recommendation of City
Engineer Charles. the new cement
sidewalk on North Ninth street was
not accepted by the Board of Public
Works which yesterday refused to
make a settlement with Contractor
Schneider. According TO Mr.. Charles
the walk n the East side of the
street, near the Masonic Temple. is
uneven. The Board of Works told
Mr. Schneider that under no circum-
stances would it accept the work as
it stands. but if the trouble could be
remedied, according to contract the
Board would then settle. Owing to
the fact that bad cement weather"
has arrived it is probable the changes
will not begin until next spring. Con-
tractor Schneider coubl not account
for the oversight on the part of his
workmen, in making the walk con-
trary to the specifications.

COURT DISMISSED
MRS. F|TzS|MMONS
Judge Converse Decided that
Evidence of Child Alone
Was Not Sufficient.
THE DEFENDANTS ALIBI
SHE TOLD COURT THAT SHE WAS
INSIDE HER ROOM WHEN LIT
TIE LEONA DRUIEY WAS
KNOCKED DOWN.

| Mrs. John Fitzsimmons, who faced
the city judge yesterday morning on
the charge of using some of "Lanky
Bob s. tactics upon little Miss Leona
Druley, the twelve-yeal-old daughter
of Herbert E. Druley, of North goth
street, was acquitted on the charge of
assault and battery. The evidence of
the prosecution was given mostly by
the child, who stated that as she was
passing the Fitzsimmons home last
Friday, Mrs. Fitzsimmons ran out of
the house and onto the sidewalk, strik-
ing her in the back and knocking her
to the ground The story of the child
was given in straightforward man
ner and the severe cross examinations
administered, could not shake her
story.
Mrs. FitZsimmons said that at the
time which the prosecution stated
that she rushed out onto the sidewalk
and struck the girl, she MRS. Fitz-
simmons) was about her household
duties, and did not see the Druley
girl pass. Her husband was also call
ed to the stand, and he stated that al
his wife during all of the afternoon
when the alleged assault occurred, he
stated that he would swear that his
wife had been in the house during the
whole afternoon, as she had several
household duties which she was at
tending to.
Prosecutor Jessup, in his plea to the
court, stated that it was either the
girls or the woman'S veracity that had
to be decided upon.
Attorney p. J. Freeman, who repre-
sented Mrs. Fitzsimmons, has taken
exception to the statement that the
Fitzsimmons family has a police rec
ord. According to Attorney Free
man, Mrs. Fitzsimmons has never
been called before the court before.
The notoriety secured by the family
it seems has been principally due to
the husband.

INDEPENDENT CLUBL|KELY
RICHMOND MAY GET POLO
Some of the Coliseum Directors are
ipsFavor of Having Clarence Jessup
<Organize Team to Play Indepen-
dent Organizations.

There is a possibility, and it may
also be said a probability that Rich
mond people will be afforded an OPP
portunity to see at least few roller
polo games this winter that will be
worth the name. 1t is known that
some of the directors of the Rich
mond Athletic Association favor the
organization of an independent polo
team that might play weekly games
with teams from Hamilton and other
cities and thus keep alive interest in
the sport. 1t is probable that a
pretty stiff lineup could be secured,
with Cunningham, Jr., and Houghton
as ruShers, Parry, half back, Jessup
goal and center to be chosen. Little
doubt is entertained that by another
year interest in polo will swing back
to Indiana and the sport will be re-
stored to its old time splendor with
Richmond in the fore front, for Rich
mond is the home of roller polo in the
West
The Coliseum will be opened for
skating at Thanksgivin time and
this style of amusement promises to
be very popular through the winter.
Those directors who favor the organ
iZation of a polo team are convinced
that the addition of polo game once
a week would go a long way toward
securing the patronage of those who
do not care TO skate but who would
jump at an opportunity to see a real
polo game.

CITY VISITED BY STORM
MUCH DAMAGE WAS DONE
Light and Phone Companies Suffered
While Wind Left Its Mark in Many
Places Over City-Biit Boards
Blown Down.

The wind storm which swept over
the city and county yesterday after
noon, was the worst that has occurred
in several years, and much damage
was done
All the telephone, telegraph and
light wires OF the city Were damaged
TO small extent No serious losses
are reported from this source, al
though the damage done caused some
trouble and embarrassment to the
companies operating them.
In addition to the grandstand acct
dent at Earlham, which involved a
loss of probably three hundred dollars.
the large bill board near Eleventh on
the south side of Main street. was
blown over in the sidewalk and had
it not been that there were few pedes-
trianS walking during the terrific
downpour of rain, some person proba-
bly, would have met with injury
The farmers coming into the city
last night, stated that great damage
had been done TO the fences in their
various localities. The rail or old
fashioned worm" fences were laid to
the ground. Those farmers who are
still husking corn, will also be delay
ed in their work, owing to the fact
that in the district visited by the
wind, the stalks are laid to the
ground.
Although coming at the season of
the year when it could not cause great
financial loss to the farmers, it will
mean much work

PREPARING PLANS FOR
THE WEST SIDE SEWER

The city engineers are at the pres
ent time preparing the plans for the
new west side sewer system, which
will be installed next Spring. The
plans are just practically begun and il
will require several weeks before they
can be completed.
Owing TO the large territory which
the system will cover. the work is
about the most difficult that the engi-
neers have encountered for some time.
As the authorities at Earlham College
have not as yet expressed their viii
lingness to install a system which will
be connected with the city line, plans
for this section of the sewer will not
be drawn by the city engineer.

STORM DESTROYS
T. {. GRANDSTAND
Wind Totally Wrecks Big Pa
Wilton on Reid Field at Qua
ker Institution.
YOUNGSTER HURT BY IT
CHARLES HARRIS IN THE STAND
WHEN CRASH CAME-THREE
OTHERS WITH HIM ESCAPED
WITHOUT INJURY.

Charles Harris the young son of
Granville Harris, of 135 Chestnut
street. was very painfully injured yes
terday afternoon at Earlham College,
and is suffering with three broken
ribs and dislocated shoulder. 1t is
feared that he is internally injured.
All was caused by the total destruc-
ton of the grand stand on Reid Field,
by the terrific wind storm which
swept over the city about one O'Clock
yesteray afternoon.
Young Harris and three other boys
had been hunting in the woods, about
a mile south of the college and were
returning to their homes " the way
of Earlham. when the wind and rain
storm caught them unawares. AS
they had done many times before,
when caught in the rain at the col
lege they took refuge under the large
grandstand which sat on the north
side of Reid Field They had been
under this shelter but a short time,
when a terrific gust of wind swept
the grandstand to the ground causing
a total ruin, and pinning young Har-
ris under it. How the three other
boys accompanying Harris escaped,
is not known, and after the accident
occurred they could hardly tell how
it happened.
Construction Helped Wind.
OwiIg to the peculiar manner in
which the grandstand was construct
ed it was a very easy matter for the
wind 2, completely wreck it. One of
the boys stated after the accident
that they were standing near an en-
trance under the grand stand when
a huge gust Of wind came along and
the building began to creak and snap.
and just at that time when the build
ing was under its worst strain, an
other heavier gale struck it and the
building went crashing to the ground
falling north of the fence, which sur
rounds the athletic field.
Wild rumors were circulated among
the students when the news first
reached their ears that the grand
stand was a wreck 1t was reported
on all sides that boy had been kill
ed in the accident. and even though
told the collegians who came rushing
to the rescue, that there were no
more boys in the crowd, they set to
work among the heavy timbers and
lighter debris in order to rescue the
injured. The pleas of the boys final
ly had its effect, upon the frightened
Earlhamites and they ceased in
their search. When matters had
once more assumed their even tenor.
many of the boys and young ladies of
the college went about gathering up
pieces of wood that they might keep
souvenirs of the old grandstand. in
which they had set many times to
cheer the Quaker teams to victory,
and around which hung so many al
most sacred associations
When new, the grandstand cost the
Quaker school in the neighborhood OF
five hundred dollars, but thexloss fix
ed, is smaller than that amount. ow-
ing to the age of the STRUCTURE. IT
was built when Daniel Reid who
donated the athletic feldto the col
iege.

its worldwide Importance. They are doing

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful il is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Costs Nothing TO Try.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disinfect-
ant and purifier In nature, but few realize
its value when taken into the human sys-
TEN for the same cleansing purpose
Charcoal is a remedy that the more Won
take of it the better; it is not a drug at
all but simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purities always present in the stomach ana
intestines and carries them out of the
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok-
ing, drinking or after eating onions or
other odorous vegetables
Charcoal effectually clears and inproves
the complexion, it whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which col
lect in the stomach and bowels; II disin-
fects the mouth and throat from the poi-
son of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best char

The daily use OF these lozenges will anon

it is, that no possible harm can result from
their continued use, but on the contrary
