NEW LAWS ARE A FARCE
w. P. O'NEEL'S STATEMEN7 I
Councilman From Sixth Ward says
That Richmond City Fathers Were
Not Consulted When the Laws
Were Voted On.

Councilman O'Neal at council last
evening, denounced the Indiana Mu.
nicipal laws passed at the last session
of the legislature as farce. He stat
ed that city and town councils were
given no powers to appropriate money
for minor purposes and that endless
confusion would result as long as
these laws were in force. He stated
that the city council had asked Rep
resentatiye Veneer and Senator Kirk
man to consult with them before they
voted on these laws, but that their re
quest had been turned down. He
also stated that it was a great mistake
to take the management of the munic
ipal light plant out Of the hands o1
the light plant committee and place il
in the hands of the board of public
works.

Merchant Says That Scheme
Stranger Presented Was
an Attempted Fraud.
PROPOSITION LOOKS GOOD
SOLICITOR TOLD MERCHANTS
THAT HE WAS SELLING ADVER-
TIsING SPACE ON SCHOOL RE.
PORT CARDS.

An advertising scheme that looks
good on the face of it, but which does
not bear deep investigation, is being
tried in Richmond and one Main
street merchant complained yesterday
afternoon and asked that the affair
be investigated. The merchant said
that man by the name of Kruse and
representing himself to be of the firm
of Kruse and Malloy, called on him
and displayed an advertising scheme
which he thinks is a fraud.
The plan is to present to the coun
try and city school authorities, re
port cards that can be filed out once
every month and sent home to the pa
rents. Besides the blank spaces left
for the reports, the card was to have
been large enough to include several
advertisements at SO much per line
The whole thing, if properly filled out
at the rates quoted, would net the
stranger between $3.50 and 5000.
Called Several Places.
He called at several business hous
es and his plan proved popular. He
secured orders and armed with these
was prepared to take more. The in
ducement was that the cards would be
taken. into. over. 10000. homes. il
Wayne county, and would be reat
once a month. A space was quoted
at from S. to $40.
One merchant who was familiar
with the school systems asked tn,
stranger what authority he had fol
making his assertions about the gen
eral circulation of the cards owe: tn,
county. The agent then drew out
card of Prof. Charles w. Jordan
County Superintendent, and talked o
his interview with Mr.. Jordan. H
said that he was to furnish the month
! ly report cards and was SO glib in hi
manners that he kept on getting OF
ders.
This merchant was suspicious an
went to see Mr.. Jordan. The count
superintendent then gave his opinion
of the card in decided terms and sal,
that he had not guaranteed the strar
ger that a single trustee would us
them. In Richmond, Supt Mott ha
not even been consulted, although hi
name is alleged to have been used b.
the agent in getting orders.

SENATOR GORMAN DEAD
Maryiand's Noted Stateman Succumbs
to an Illness Extending Over
Five Months.
Publishers Press1

Washington, June 4.-Senator Ar
thur p. German, of Maryland, died at
his residence in this city at 9:05
o'clock this morning, after an illness
of many weeks.
The end came suddenly, as the Sen
ator had been improving lately Heart
trouble was the cause.
Up to the moment of death Senator
German was conscious.
Senator Germans serious illness ex-
tended over period of five months.
He had not left his house since Janu-
ary 16. He suffered, in addition to
his heart affection, with more or less
stomach trouble. A week ago last
Saturday he was seized with a heart
attack and it was thought then that
he could not survive, but he rallied d
and seemed to get very much better.

NO ACCOUNT SUBMITTED
Sheriff Smith Did Not Ask Commits
sioners to Remit Expenses for
John Locke's Return.

No itemiZed statement of the ex-
penses of the Deputy Sheriff who
went to California to secure Lock. the
fugitive, was submitted yesterday to
the County Commissioners and 1t is
asserted upon good authority that the
Sheriff will withdraw his claim and
allow the matter to stand as it has.
The claim was for s115. and al
though the commissioners had not
agreed to pay all of it, they conceded
a sum of about $50 to the sheriff.
Sheriff Smith stated last night that he
was as yet undecided as to what
course to take.

UNDERHILL COMPLAINING
He Says That He Has Taken Down
His Barb Wire Fences and
Wants Others 20 Do So.

Alfred Underhill, residing in the
northeast part of the city, appealed
to council last evening to have the
barb wired fences of his neighbors ta-
ken down. He stated that he had been
forced to take down his barb wire
fences some time ago. He also asked
council to allow him damages for a
colt of his which was injured by
running onto barb wire fence be-
longing to one of his neighbors. The
matter was referred to the claims com
mittee.

WILL VISIT HOSPITAL
MORE MONEY is NEEDED
City Council Will Go to the Reid
Memorial Hospital Sunday-Trus.
tees Will Show City Legislators
How Badly Money is Needed.

1t is understood that at the next
session of the city council an appeal
will be made by the trustees of the
Reid Memorial Hospital for financial
aid. The magnificent institution is in
a bad financial condition at the pres
ent time and unless the city comes to
it's assistance the trustees will be
placed in an embarrassing predica-
ment. At the present time there are
eight charity patients at the hospital
and there is scarcely enough money
to pay for their medicine. Last even
ing at council that body was invited
to visit the institution next Sunday
and the invitation was accepted. 1t
is probable that at that time the coun-
cilmen will be shown by the trustees
what condition the institution is in
The invitation which was sent to the
council reads as follows:
ITO the Mayor and city council
Gentlemen-The board of trustees
of the Reid Memorial Hospital cor.
daily invites you to visit the hospital
next Sunday afternoon, June 10. We
are just entering upon a new admin
istration with Miss Alice Ashby as
superintendent and Miss G. V. Nifel
as assistant superintendent and would
be glad to have you meet them and
inspect the hospital. Conveyances
tel at o'clock to convey you to the
hospital.
Sincerely yours,

Four students were dismissed at!
Earlham yesterday and more headsi
may fall today on account of tho
kidnapping of Hadleigh Marsh and
Cecil Calvert, two Sophomores, Fri.
day night by band of Freshmen.
The boys were not expelled" accord
ing to the authorities version of the
matter, yet President Kelly said last
night that they would not be allowed
to take their examinations and this
means that they will not get theirl
credits for this term. All four of
the boys left for their homes yester-l
day afternoon, taking their belong
ings with them. All were unani.
nous in saying that they would not re-
turn to the school next year even lie
the authorities granted them that
right
Kelly Gives Reasons.
President Kelly says that the stu
dents were dismissed because they
took part in kidnapping students and
further. because they violated an
agreement which they entered into
| last term, when they said they would
always live up to the rules laid down
by the school. The trouble last term
arose over the "ducking' of Sidney
Hutton, connected with which there
was what the authorities termed mu-
tiny and riot Governor Hadley, of
the dormitory, at that time was re-
sisted by the students, and the door
to the nursery in which Hutton was
hiding, broken in. There were TWEEN
4 Of re- an In hut off Nv.
who promised that always after dur.
ing their college career at Earlham,
they would obey the laws of the dor
mitory, no matter what they might be.
What the Students Thought.
The students thought that President
Kelly and Governor Hadley would
take no hand in the present affair on
account of the term being SO near
over. President Kelly has taken a
stand for law and order at the institu-
ton, however, and in this he is back
ed by the trustees. For that reason,
1t is said that he felt the disorder
could not be overlooked. Last night
he would not say that further dis
missals will follow nor would he deny
that there was possibility of such
action. All he would say was that the
matter was to be looked into further
by himself and Governor Hadley
There are several more students at
the college who are as much in the
wrong as those who were sent away
yesterday, and the student body looks
for them to suffer.
Lose Two Fine Athletes.
The students who left yesterday
were leaders in affairs at the college.
Carey was particularly fine track
athlete and Mendenhall played quarter
on the football team last fall In the
recent track meet held by the l. c. A.
L., Carey was Earlham's heaviest
point winner.
There is much dissatisfaction
among the students at what occurred
yesterday They say that the au.
thorities are treating them as Esh
school students and are imposing re
strictions on them that robs their life
, at Earlham of college atmosphere
If it were not SO near the end of the
school term, there is little doubt but
. that there would be some sort of q
, sympathetic move on the part of many
of the boys. Fear of losing tt,eil
grades keeps many of the students in
, check now. Many declare that they
will not return to school again next
! year.

Councilman Deuker made a motion
that "Mr. Nusbaum" be elected a

SPEECH BY SHAW
Secretary of Treasury Earn
estIy Urges People Not to
Grow Restless.
TASK OF TARIFF REVISION
SAYS THAT NEXT REPUBLICAN
NATIONAL CONVENTION WILL
DECLARE ITSELF IN FAVOR OF
MODIFICATION.
Publishers PreSS1

Sioux Falls, S. D., June 4.-Hon
ury, delivered ringing stand pat"
tariff speech today before the South
Dakota Republican state convention
He expressed the belief that the next
Republican national convention would
declare for revision, and intimated
that in that case the work would be
begun at an extraordinary session i'm
mediately after inauguration. He
spoke in part as follows:
THE American people are some
what alike in their religion and in
their politics, When on their deathbed
physically they remember the teach
ings of their childhood; when on their
deathbed financially they remember
the Republican party; but when in
good health and prosperous they are
prone to forget both.
Some Are Now Restless.
81 have no desire to disguise the
fact that in a few localities there is
now some restlessness on the tariff
question. The American people are
restless under prosperity, and well
night desperate under adversely. A
friend said in my Office the other day
that we were sure Of victory this year
and two years from now If prosperity
continued, for, said he, the American
people have never gone back on pros
perity. How short his memory. Our
G,et onI oroatoct dpfeat was tracpa-
BILE solely to the universal prosperity
existing in the early nineties. Wheth-
er we are sufficiently prosperous now
to work our undoing, am not certain.
We were never so prosperous before
and my hope is high that we can stani
few more years of it. If it continues
however, if the price of farm products
shall advance yet higher. il wages
shall advance correspondingly, ii
new factories are built, if business
thrives, if deposits in the bank in
crease, if men get rich, then so GER
tain as history repeats itself. the i'm
preston will prevail that the inequal-
tiles of life are occasioned by Repub-
lican politics and the American peo-
pie Will again seek u DIIlS dil W Ilo
same standard by the Endorsement of
the principles of our political oppo-
| nents. sf
Finht of the Democrats.
"The Democrat leaders propose to
wage the forthcoming congressional
campaign upon the issues presented
by the Republican revisionists, and
they are certain to quote the utter
ances of every leading Republican
who has urged revision.
do not misunderstood me. I will
not cali into question the republican
ism nor criticise the good faith of any
member of my party, however much
we may differ as to the time when
the tariff shall be readjusted. | dc
wish to emphasize the fact, however
that the party as an organization, Is
standing pat, and that the party, as
an organization, will revise the tariff
at the appropriate time. The stand
patter of today will be the revisionis'
when revision is had
1T does not lie with me to say
when the task of revision shall be un
dertaken. If / were to say that in my
Judgment it should be done immedi
ately following the next inaugura
ton"
