MAY DAY REVELS
AGAIN PLEASING
Crowd Was Kept Down at
EarIham Last Night by
Threatening Weather.
SUM OF S75 is CLEARED
FESTIVITIES UNDER THE ELEc-
TRIO LIGHT WERE EVEN pref
TIER THAN ON LAST SATUR-
DAY.

Although the~ weather conditions
were not at all favorable for a large
crowd at the May Day revels at arl-
ham last night. those that did attend
were more than repaid.
The repeated performance was
more successful than the first in the
way of acting as the two hundred
students represented in the cast than
on last Saturday. The festivities did
not drag as they did on the first day.
The jewellers, in their colored garbs
made a picturesque scene as they
gaily tripped over the green, closing
their various drills, and winding the
May Pole.
At the close of the evenings pro
gram the gypsies told fortunes by the
light of campfires the lowd call OF
the lemonade vendors could be heard
while all those present mingled in the
crowd, enjoying the antics Of the foo
and clown. 1t Is thought that abou,
$500 was cleared on the revels last
night, all of which will be turned
over to the Carnegie Library fund
The untiring work of Prof. e. p
Trueblood in the management of the
affair, deserves high praise. He has
worked Increasingly to make the May
Day reveB the most interesting ant
artistic OF any event of similar kline
held in Richmond.

WOULD GUST THE MAYOR
TERRE HAUTE REFORMING
II Is Said That Enough councilmen
Have Pledged Their Votes to Make
Impeachment of Mayor Bidaman a
Certainty.

Richmond people are watching
with interest the attempt of large
number of good citizens at Terre
Haute to impeach Mayor Bidaman. 1t
is said that the reformers have en-
ough votes of councilmen now pledg-
ed to GUST the Mayor and that the
action will be taken tonight. Terre
Haute has been wide open town for
some time. Tragedies occurring in
bad resorts and gambling houses
caused a revolt against these places
and since that time there has been
a movement to clear Terre Hautes
skirts of some of her dirt. It is gen.
orally conceded that Mayor Bidaman
has been party to much of the wick
edness in Terre Haute and has been
a tool in the hands of brewery and
gambling interests. Efforts to remove
him before have failed but the mem
bers of the Manufacturers Club now
think they have all but accomplished
the task they started some time ago.

BUT FEW LICENSES
During the Month of May But Twenty
Five Divorce Suits.

May did not show up well in we'd
dings, and for the whole month, only
twenty-five marriage licenses were is
sued by the County Clerk. This is the
same number that was issued In April
while ordinarily there is a gain. 1t is
expected that there will be heavy
gain in June, as it is the month Of
brides.
The divorce applicants were not
idle, however, and six suits we're filed
for legal separation. Five suits were
filed in April. Eight years ago, but
two suits for divorce were filed in the
Wayne Circuit Court, during the
month of May.

Grand Jury Returns No Inaict.
ments Against Locke's Al .
legged AccompIices.
CENSURES SHERIFF SMITH
JURORS HOLD THAT, HE WAS
CARELESS IN EXERCISE OF HIS
DUTIES, BUT NOT cRiMINALLY
so.

Although the matter was Investigate
ed thoroughly and all evidence posi-
Bile secured, the grand jury. in its re
port to Judge Fox yesterday, failed to
find an indictment charging anyone
with completely in the escape of John
Locke from the County Jail, and sew
eral persons who have been held
pending the investigation of their
cases by the grand jury, were last
evening released from jail by Sheriff
Smith.
The sheriff himself, was not found
criminally negligent by the jury.
Pointed charges were made against
him and public feeling on account OF
his alleged misconduct in office, caus-
ed his case to be looked into. While
he is not held liable for Locke's es-
cape, the jury censured him in the re-
port saying that Smith did not exer,
else proper precautions.
Three Were Released.
| Charles Ludlum and Mrs. Jessie
Locke, the latter the wife of John
Locke, were released from custody.
While 1t Is proven that they secured
for Locke the chisel and reamer found
in the Jail after his escape, 1t cannot
be proven that he used these articles
when making his escape, and an in
dictment cannot be returned. The
only implement which it is absolutely
certain that he used is the steel saw,
and it is not known who's took this
tool into the jail. Henry Kroma was
also released, the jury failing to find
charge against him. He was &C
cused of having helped Mrs. Locke
get the tools.
The evidence in the case against
Joseph Jones, who was arrested fol
criminal assault and bound over tC
the grand jury, was not sufficient to
establish his identity beyond a doubt
and the jury failed to return an indict
ment.
Smith censured Again.
The practice of Sheriff Smith II
using prisoners to do mental labor
about the Jail and allowing them tt
have charge Of the Jail at times, wa:
censured. The report says tina
Smith does not hire turnkey, bu
uses the money which the county ap
propriates for the care of insane prls
oners, to pay the turnkey. The carr
of the Jail is shifted to the turnkey
who does the sheriff's work and i
paid by the county.
In conclusion the jury stated in it
report that all it's work was finished
and that it begged to be dismissed
This request was granted.
