BUSY DAY FOR FRACTIONS GREAT APPLE HARVEST
INDIANA CROP PROSPECTS
Professor Troop of Purdue is Making

Orchards-crop of Apples to Equal

Lafayette, Ind, July A. (Spl)-
James Troop, professor of horticul-
ture at Purdue University and State
Entomologist, left today for Madison
with the intention of inspecting Or
chards on the site of the hospital for
the insane that is to be erected there
and then continuing his trip to other
parts of the State to make a general
inspection of orchard conditions. Be-
fore leaving he said that Indiana
probably would have a banner apple
crop this year. He thinks the crop
possibly may equal that Of 1896,
which was the humping year. Apples

be abundant, but will be Of wide va

Where the trees were protected there
will be peaches, but nowhere else in
any abundance. Pears also will be a
disappointment this year. There will
be plums, but the Japanese variety

killed the peach crop. The berry crop,
though up to the average in quantity
is below in quality, the dry weather

DECATUR JOURNAL DEAD

Republican Paper in Adams Coun-

Decatur. Ind, July 4. (Spl)-Yes

morning, evening and weekly news
paper, the only Republican county or.
gan-ceased publication. The paper
was owned and published by G. NJ
Kenyon formerly of the Redkey
times. The Journal was the Oldest
daily paper in the city, it being in it's
tenth year.
In the suspending of the weekly
edition it leaves the Republican coun-
ty forces without a paper.
The closing of the office was caus-
ed by a foreclosure of a mortgage
by Harry r. Daniel. the former owner
and publisher who is now connected
with the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
On last Friday the office was offer
ed for sale by Receiver BENJAMIN W.
Sholty, but as no bids were received
the property was not sold.
The failure is probably due to the
lack of business management. In the
late campaign for congressman in the
Eighth district the Journal fought Mr..
Cromer and as the leaders of the Re-
publican party here were for him the
Journal lost its support from the Re-
publican party.

Great Auto Driver Came Over
from Indianapolis Yester-
day in New Car.
WAS GIVING IT A TEST
MACHINE OF SEVENTY HORSE
POWER AND ATTRACTED MUCH
ATTENTION-MRD RUN IN 2
HOURS AND IS MINUTES.

Jap" Clemens. one of the most
daring auto drivers In the country
was In Richmond yesterday for a
short time. He came over from Indi
annapolis in big seventy horse pow.
er machine which he was testing for
the National Automobile Company of
Indianapolis. He made the run from
indianapolis in two hours and fifteen
minutes and when an onlooker. re-
marked as Clemens stood in front of
the Auto Inn with mis- car. that the
time was good, the man who holds
the record for thousand mile drive,
smiled and replied, do you think
so?"
Clemens went out east on the Ma
tional Road for several miles and re-
turned at supper time. He did not
stop long here on his return from
the east. The machine which Glenn
ems was driving attracted considera-
BILE attention. 1t was uncovered. the
machinery being open to view. The
auto was one of the most powerful
ever seen here. There is none in the
city which quite approaches it. Mr..
Henly's new machine is fifty horse
power which lacks twenty horse pow
er of being as strong as Clemens.

GLEN FIREWORKS
FAILED TO SPARK
Two Thousand People Gath
cred to See the Display. and
Were Disappointed.
THE DAY WAS ENJOYABLE
LARGEST CROWD OF THE SUM-
MER WAS AT THE PARK AND
LISTENED TO GOOD BAND CON-
cERTS-NO ACCIDENTS.

Over two thousand people gathered
at Glen Miller and awaited last night
to see the advertised display of fire
works, but the fireworks were never
touched off. To be real specific there
were no fireworks to touch off. and
the people who had been strenuous1y
hunting for excellent places on the
hill tops surrounding the lake, went
home sadly disappointed.
Supt. Ridge said last night that it
had been the understanding of the
authorities and employees at the park
that the street car company was to
furnish the fire works. which it was
advertised would be touched off at
the edge of the lake making a pretty
night display.
There were no more people at the
Glen yesterday than there has been
on any other day this summer. There
were three band concerts. one in the
afternoon and evening by the Hagers-
town band and another in the after
noon by the colored Odd Fellows
band of Marion. There were about
three hundred of the colored people
who formed a picnic party at the
park
The order in the Glen was excellent
and there were no accidents to mar
the day. There was much boating The
principal form of amusement was
that of sitting in the shade. and lis
tening to the band.

an innocent paper balloon yesterday
morning in front of his resi- idence at
Ninth and North A street, he was
simply providing Fourth of July ANU
sement for his little grandson. Rob-
ert Saxton, of Chicago. and he had no
way of knowing that the tissue paper
device would in a brief few minutes
cause so much excitement The bal
loon rose majestically, then toppled,
by coming in contact with a heavy
wind current, and took fire. 1t descen-
ded on the house occupied by DR..
Rusk, 20 North Ninth street and a
slight fire resulted. An alarm was
turned in from the postoffice corner
and three hose companies and the
hook and ladder department respon-
ded, but the blaze had already been
extinguished. Several hundred per-
sons were attracted to the spot by
the run of the department.

BIGGEST TRAFFIC OF YEAR
Cars Crowded Throughout the Day

to Fill Their Places.

Yesterday was record-breaking
day for the traction lines. The Dayton

mond people to Eaton. where the
towns Centennial celebration was
the attraction and hundreds also were
carried to Dayton on account of the
races and the attractions at the Sol
diers' home. The Richmond Street
& Interurban Company also had a
busy day of it. all of the cars from
early morning to late last night being
filled with Richmondites who sought
pleasure for the day at various towns
along the line II seemed that almost
as many people were brought into
the city as were carried out, for all
incoming cars on both lines were
generally filled completely.

Was Thrown Out.

L. NJ. Jones drove mis- automobile
into the 7:15 street car going north

Mr.. Jones was going west on North
A street and in turning south into
Sth street. did not see the car COM
ing in time and ran into it. Luckily
the machine was at such an angle
that only the radiator on the nose of
1t was torn away. The sudden shock
of the contact threw Mr.. Jones from
the car but did not hurt him.
This machine is the same one that
a short time ago took fire on Main

William Kramer Says His
Company Is Not Satisfied
With Fire Protection.
WEST SIDE Is AROUSED
CITIZENS THERE HAVE LONG
PLEADED FOR A HOSE HOUSE
AND THEY NOW USE TUES
DAYS FIRE AS ARGUMENT.

William Kramer in speaking yester-
day afternoon of the fire disaster to
their concern Tuesday night said that
1t was not improbable that they
should rebuild, owing to the difficulty
in getting sufficient fire protection in
The future.
I'm the first placp We have always
known that If we ever caught fire it
would mean total loss to our prop
erty and in view of this we have
made every possible safeguard
against fire. What we and the people
of West Richmond need. and many
of them spoke to me of it. is a hose
tied to fire protection as we pay city
taxes. 1t is too expensive for us to
put up another plant without some
prospect of fire e-protection. The thing
that we regret about the fire is that
1t will throw about 25 men. who have
bee faithful to us, out of employment.
Our greatest damage will come to the
$4,000 worth of uncut logs which
will have to lay for some time before
we can make arrangements for their
disposal"
Delay in Giving Alarm.
1t seems that there was some an
necessary delay Tuesday night in get
ting the alarm into the department.
The company received the alarm at
1925 and when they got there, run
of minutes and 4U seconds. the en-
tire building was beyond all possible
hope of being saved and attention
was turned to protecting the surroun-
ding property In the mill was a Wes-
tern Union alarm and telephone. The
watchman at the mill says that he
turned In the Western Union Alarm
and the office denies 1t. They say that
IL he had turned in an alram 1t would
have been recorded on ribbon The
fire was discovered about ten min
utes before an alarm was sent in to
headquarters.
Damage Between $4,000 and $s,ooo
The damage to the concern was es-
timated yesterday as being between
$4,000 and $4,000. This is partially
covered by insurance.
The people of West Richmond are
aroused and will make a strong fight
for a hose house. There are numbe,
of factories on the West Side that
need some protection from fire. 1t is
expected that in few days petition
for hose house will go the rounds of
those interested in the West Side and
the feeling now indicates that every
inhabitant of that district will attach
his name to the paper.

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
What the Educational Commission Is
Called Upon to Consider at
Its Session.

Three important questions are to be
considered by the Indiana Education.
al Commission that was appointed by
Governor Hanly at the suggestion of
the Indiana State Teachers Associa.
tion. The first will be taxation for
school purposes; second, teachers
wages. and, third, the preparation OF
teachers. This commission was ap
pointed for the purpose of investigat
ing the changes needed in the school
laws of the State to make them more
nearly perfect. The commission will
then make it's report to the Governor
who can send to the next Legislature
such recommendations as he may see
IT.

Will Not Accept.

A dispatch from Washington says
that Congressman Watson has de-
clined to accept the craftsmanship of
the commission that IS to investigate
the immigration question. Congress
man Watson declines because of the
fact that it was he who introduced
the resolution which recommended
such a commission and should he ac-
cept the craftsmanship he believes
that his motives in introducing the
matter might be misunderstood and
he would stand accused of creating
the commission for his own benefit.
