TRAMPS MADE TROUBLE
Wanted to Sleep at Richmond Manu-
featuring Company But the
Watchman Said No.

Two knights of the Ancient mad
Independent Order of Weary Willies
tried to gain access to the warmth
of the Richmond Manufacturing Co.
last night, in order to finish the night
in blissful sleep but the watchman
at the factory noticed their attempts
to gain entrance to the factory and
they were told to move on. The
tramps became very abusive and
threatened the watchman but the
watchman finally proved to them
that the Richmond Manufacturing
company was no hostelry but if they
wanted work they could get it the
next day. At the mention of the
word work, the tramps turned and
hastily and ran down the railroad
track, while the watchman resumed
his lonesome beat unmolested.

Money to Be Appropriated for
the Purpose by County
Council Today.
CASE PENDING LONG TIME
FOUNTAIN CITY WANTS TO RE-
COVER FEES ALLEGED TO BE
DUE HIM FOR SERvIcNS AS A
TAX FERRET.

The Wayne County council will be
preparation to defray the expenses OF
the county's defense in the suit in
stituted by Major NJ NJ. Lacey for
$4,000 fees which Lacey ayers are
due him for his services in the capac-
ity of tax ferret. The case has been
pending several years and is now on
the docket of the Randolph county
circuit court having been sent to that
county on change of venue. There
is no question that Major Lacey had
contract with Wayne county to 10
cate sequestered taxable property
but it is alleged that by the terms of
the contract he was to have devoted
himself to the looking up of such
property outside of the county which
should be listed here. However. Ma
jor Lacey turned up certain property
in the form of stock in a foreign cor
poration. held by Richmond resi-
dents. He listed the property and af-
ter a legal battle to determine wheth-
er it should be taxable here or in the
state where the corporation was list
ed, it was decided that it should be
placed on the Wayne county dupli-
cate. Payment was refused Lacey
on the ground that under the con-
tract he was not entitled to fees for
listing property which he had found
in Wayne county. Lacey brought
suit and contends that the county de-
rived the benefit of his services and
accepted for taxation the property
which he uncovered. He believes
that the county is indebted to him for
the work performed.

STAMPS HER FOOT
IN GREAT ANGER
Mrs. WaIthOur Pleads with
Husband to Quit the Six
Day Bicycle Race.
HER EFFORTS ALL IN VAIN
DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY
WERE PENALlZED A LAP. WAL
THOUR AND BEDELI FIGHT
HARD TO WIN.
Publishers Press. j

tPuDIiSIleTS fFeSS-J
New York, Dec 13.-Stamping her
foot with rage, Mrs. Walthour, wife
of the famous bicycle rider, begged
and pleaded with her husband this
afternoon to stop riding in the six
day contest in Madison Square Garden.
Walthour's final attempt to gain the
ner from the leaders in the race, which
was absolutely successful, but was
not allowed by the management be-
cause of a trifling accident to another
rider, has so enraged both men that
they may retire at any hour. Wal
thour. however, was deaf to his wife's
pleadings, saying that he only
thought it right to continue, as so
many friends had bet on him to win
the contest.
This was only one of several Incl
dents during the day. Earlier in the
day Samuelson's partner, Hollister,
of the Mormon team, received a bad
spill, which incapacitated him from
the race and as Vanoni, the Italian,
who had been doing good work all the
@ceh, dlSo ItSSif0u "iii>h
compelled him to retire, Samuelson
and Breton formed new team, and
were therefore, according to the rules,
penalized a lap which placed them on
even terms with Walthour and Bedell.
Desperate Fighting.
Desperately fighting to regain the
lap which they were penalized, Wal
thour and Bedell today gave the spec
tators several exhibitions of the fast
est sprinting ever witnessed in an
indoor long distance race at Madison
Square Garden. They forced the 9th.
er riders to work their hardest to keep
the favorites from tapping them, and
but for hard luck would undoubtedly
have captured first place. Their won
derfuI sprintfng resulted in pushing
Calvin and Wiley, the farmer mes
senger boy team back to last place,
three laps behind the leaders.
Calvin and Wiley are the two young
est riders in the race and the terrible
strain of the succession of sprints
told on them so much that they were
compelled to slow up in the last one
and were passed three times by the
bunch in less than mile.
On the face of what has happened.
it appears that the management real
ICES that Walthour and Bedell are the
big men on the card, arli that if they
keep them a lap behind the crowds
will continue to pay to get into the
Garden to see them sprint This is
the most successful six day race ever
held. 1t was necessary tonight to
call out the police reserves to control
the crowd that tried to get into the
garden RioSng was in order and
never in the history of six day racing
has the interest been so pronounced.
1t is estimated tonight that the man
agement will clear $4,000 on the
week.

[. S. BOWMAN ON
use OF CEMENT"
Jefferson Township Trustee
Reads Interesting Paper
on the Subject.
SOME HISTORIC FACTS
SHOWN THAT THE ANClENTS AS
WELL AS MODERNS USED
HIGHLY VALUABLE MATERIAL
TO AN ADVANTAGE.

L. S. Bowman. trustee of Jefferson
township, read a most entertaining
paper before the trustees of the coun-
ty at the meeting held yesterday in
this city, his subject being The Use
of Cement
Trustee Bowman showed that he
had made a very thorough study of
his subject, both as to the ancient
and modern use of cement and he
rather startled some of his hearers
by presenting unquestioned authority
for the statement that in the days of
ancient Rome some of the most mag
nificent structures which have sur
vived centuries, were composed in
part or in whole of material which
probably was very much like the con-
crete structures of modern days. Mr..
Bowman traced the builditg evolu-
ton to show that ii has only been in
very recent years that cement has
become generally used and be pre-
sented statistics to show that during
the present years construction work
over LHe eHILTe COuHlTs, pfODdDls ten
times more cement was used than
the year previous.
In local application of his subject.
Mr. Bowman showed the good re-
suits that have followed the use of
cement for culvert and bridge con
struction in Wayne county and he
advocated its general use. In the dis
cussion. in which most of the trus-
tees participated. it was shown that
the same high regard which Mr. Bow
man has for the use Of cement was
unanimously shared by the township
officers and many of the speakers
told of their experiences in this sort
of construction.

TO CONTINUE LECTURES
Friends of the University Extension
Course Had Good Meeting Last
Night.

The more enthusiastic members OF
the committee who have the arrange
ment of the University Extension
course in their control met last night
at Supt Motifs office in the Garfield
school, to determine whether or not
the course should be offered this year.
1t was decided that Walter Luring.

tn course by selling tickets, should
again start the work of getting sub
scriptions for the course TO be offered

pie will respond literally to the ven
ture.

cided upon the speaker, but as stated
in a recent issue of the Palladium,
Prof. j. H Raymond of Chicago, who
gave the course last year, will proba-
bly, be called upon TO deliver his Sc

said to be gems of their kind.
In case DR.. Raymond is selected. the
