FOR WIDENING STATE STREET
TANNING WALL.

A final contract between the city
and the Pan Handle Railroad Com
pany for building a viaduct at West
Second street, embodying suggestions
made at recent council meeting.

torney Rupe of the railroad
company. He will forward the con-
tract to the head Offices for the sigma
ture of the proper official
The new contract contains three
points on which there had been dis
cussions. The first is that in widen
ing State street, the same procedure
is to be followed as in improving
any other street. The parties bene-
fitted are to pay the cost, which in
this case means that the railroad
company must bear its share of the
expense. The second point is in re-
gard to building retaining wall to
protect the grade of the railroad >m-
pany The wall is to be built at the
company's expense. The third point
is in awarding the contract for the

Professor to Lecture at Chau-
tauqua Decries Prudery
and Certain Reforms.
DEFENDED MAXIM GORKY
IN ADDRESS TO CHICAGO UNlVER-
SiTY STUDENTS HE SAYS cR;-
TICS OF MRS. WARREN's PRO.
FESSiON" ARE INDECENT.

Professor Charles Zuehlip or Chi.
cage, who will lecture to the teach
ers in connection with the Richmond
Chautauqua this year has some ideas
that are peculiarly his own. In an
address to the summer students at
Chicago University this week, Prof.
Zueblin declared that American NOR
ais and Institutions need a thorough
renovation and that many popular and
supposedly righteous reform" move
ments are in reality immoral. ' In part
he said:
THE critics who have objected so
strenuously to the performance of
Bernard Shaw's Mrs. Warren's Pro.
fession' have done a great deal OF
harm," he said. Many Of. the at.
tacks in the play which have been
written are thoroughly indecent. In
reality Mrs. Warren's Profession is
a plea for morality.
One of the best proofs of the pru.
derry that Is going about is the fact
that Maxim Gorky was excluded from
certain hotels in New York, because, Ii
was said, he was not married to the
woman with him under our laws
Gorky was very much more married
than many of the people who stay reg,
ularly at the hotels from which he was
elected. Another instance of prudery
is the objection to nude paintings and
statues.
The woman's sufferage movement
is reaching the point where it will be
irresistible" he declared. THE Eng.
lish women who tried to gain the fran
chise by force were right However
vulgar they may have been, they learn.
ed 1t from the men. The right way to
do it is the brutal way"
Professor Zueblin further decried
the ''foolishness" of modern dress, de,
cried the segregation system of edu
cation in vogue at the University OF
Chicago, and declared that city people
are dirty" in addition to being "over
fed and hysterical on perfumes, thea
ters, novels and gossip"

rhaW's New Lawyer Trying
to Get Needed Documents
From Old Law Firm.
MOTHER AND SON AT ODDS
SORROW STRICKEN WOMAN
PLEADS WITH HER SON TO TAKE
BACK FIRST COUNSEL BUT HE
REFUSES TO DO so.

New York, July 1S.-Following
quickly upon a conference Of two
hours with Harry Kendall Thaw in
the Tombs, after the mother of the
young prisoner had tried to get him
to again retain Black, Olcott, Gruber
and 3cyngne, Clifford w. Hartridge
went to the supreme court building
where he began a formal fight on the
lawyers whom Mrs. Thaw has retain
ed to defend her son.
Before Justice Blanchard, in Part
III, he made application, on a petition
signed by Thaw himself, for an order
that the law firm which was first in
the case turn over to him all papers
in the case that have been signed by
Harry Thaw.
Judge Blanchard granted the order
directing that Black, Olcott, Gruber
and Boyngne be ordered to show
cause by Friday morning why they
should not turn over to Hartridge all
the papers asked for. This action is
the formal inauguration of fight be-
tween young Thaw and his mother.
Twice today she had pleaded with
him in the Tombs to dismiss Hart
ridge or rather permit the first law
firm to remain in the case. She had
also gone to Hartridge and begged
him to withdraw from the case.
Later Mrs. Thaw and her sons
wife. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, drove
AWAY together from the Tombs in the
younger woman's automobile cab.
Mrs. Thaw obtained from Hartridge
n promise that he would do what she
wished If her son agreed. But after
this interview with Mrs. Thaw. Hart
ridge said he was still Thaw's attor-
noy.
When Mr.. Hartridge was seen to-
night he said:
'The Black and Olcott firm has
been served. When Mrs. Thaw saw
Harry today she told him insanity
was his best plea. He replied that he
was not insane and would have none
of it. He told his mother | had out
lined another defense and that he
was satisfied with it and wanted me
as counsel"

DENNIS BEGINS HIS WORK
Richmond Man Enters on His Duties
as Assistant Solicitor for State
Department.

A dispatch to the indianapolis
News from Washington last night
said
William c. Dennis. of Richmond,
has entered on his duties as Assist
ant Solicitor for the State Depart
ment. He refuses to discuss Repre-
sentative Watsons question as to
who he is. He says he has permitted
Watson's question to go unanswered
as he came here for work and does
not propose to participate in politics.
Mr.. Dennis was graduated fr/n Earl
ham College, did college work in Illi-
nois and later took a course at Colum-
bia, while Mr.. Scott. who is now So
licitor for the Department. was pro-
fessor of law in the university. The
friendship established there led to
Mr.. Dennis's appointment as Assist
ant Solicitor without consulting Rep
resentative Watson or any other poll
tician In Indiana"

WHEAT CROP HERE
MAY Be A BUMPER
One Hundred and Two Thous-
and Bushels of Grain Al
ready Received in City,.
PROSPECTS OVER STATE
FIGURES GATHERED FROM DIF-
FERENT COUNTIES NOW INDI.
CATE THAT THERE WILL BE
CROP OF 100000 BUSHELS.

The wheat reports from the mills
and elevators of Wayne county show
a return of 100000 bushels of grain
which have been sold by the farmers
direct from the machine so far this
season. This, however. does not show
the exact amount already threshed as
many farmers in the country are
holding back their crops for higher
prices. In fact this is general over
the country. Many of them say seven
ty cents is not enough for the excel
lent quality of grain raised this year.
AS the threshing in this county is
one of the largest wheat crops in the
history of old Wayne. One Richmond
miller estimated that the entire crop
of the county would be at least two
hundred and twenty five thousand
bushels and would probably run to
two hundred and seventy Eve thous-
and.
Joseph H. Stubbs. chief Of the state
Bureau of Satisfies estimates that
there will be in the neighborhood of
forty million bushels of wheat raised
in Indiana this year with the probab-
ility of equalling the crop of 1899
when fifty one million bushels were
raised. This acreage in the state this
year is not as large as in many other
years, but the quality is unusually
fine and is weighing out in the neigh
borhood of sixty and sixty one pounds
to the bushel

TOWN IS RUINED
BY AN EARTHQUAKE
SoCrorro in Texas a Mass of
Ruins as Result of Over
fifty Shocks.
PEOPLE FLEE IN TERROR
TINCT VOLCANO EIGHT MILES
FROM THE TOWN-WATER IN
SPRINGS VERY HOT.

Ell Paso, Texas, July 1S.-Earth-
quake shocks numbering between fifty
and sixty have practically made a ruin
of the town of Socrorro, 100 miles
North Of this place. The Court house
is a mass of ruins and practically all
of the houses in the town have been
damaged. None of the quakes were
of a violent nature, and according to
the reports which have been received
here, there is no loss of life. The
damage has been wrought by the
continuation of slight quakes which
have caused the walls of structures
already cracked to tumble to the
earth.
E. NJ. Fink. a cattle buyer who came
in from Socorro today, declares he
was sitting at dinner at the Winckler
Hotel on Monday when the entire
side wall of the dinning room fell
in and that guests and all the walters
scattered in every direction.
There is the crater of what is
thought to be an extinct volcano not
more than eight miles from Socorro
and the inhabitants think that per-
haps the volcano has something to
do with the remarkable series of
shocks.
Water in the hot springs at Socorro
has increased over ten degrees in tenn
perature.
The National Railroad is sending
box cars into the town to take the
people away, so great is their ter
ror.

BIG BUSINESS EXPECTED
Prospects are for a Great Yield OF
Wheat in the Northwest Which
Means Much to Gaar's.

rhe Gaar, Scott Company is max
ing preparations to do the largest
business in it's history in the wheat
districts of the northwest. 1t is said
that the largest crop in the history
of the country will be harvested in
that country this year. Owing to the
fact that the harvest in the northwest
is about thirty days later than harvest
here, there is a chance of the crop
being injured by rust but as things
stand now everything points to a rec
ord breaking yield.

was that of Mr.. Gartsides which was
raised $500 making it $4,000. Mr..

worth $4,000 and intimates that he
will not be satisfied with a less sum
for damages. Attorney Thomas J..
Study appeared in behalf of Gartside
and served notice that his client
would appeal from the assessment of
the Board to the Circuit Court.
The board continued the matter un-
til the American Seeding Company
and the Pennsylvania railroad pay
their benefit money to the City which
in turn will allot the assessed dam
ages. If the persons affected accept
their assessments for damages then
the street will be closed and the work
of erecting the new factory will be
begun. In case that they do not, then

taken by Gartside. who will appeal
the case to the courts.
