important for years. 1t will be the
seventy-fifth anniversary of the con-
vention and will have somewhat of the
celebrating character. One of the spe-
cial features will be an historical ad-
dress by DR.. w. T. Stott, former presi.
dent of Franklin college. This will be
given at the Wednesday morning ses-
sion.

will speak Thursday evening. Much
will be made of the religious hour at 4
o'clock each day. which will be in
charge of the Rev. H. P. Klyver. Am
pie arrangements for the entertain

WEST HAS BROUGHT
CONSPIRACY CHARGE
Creamery Concerns of Seven
States File Complaint
Against Railroads
BUSINESS WILL BE RUINED.
COMPETITORS NOT AFFECTED BY
INCREASE IN RATES-CASE OF
DISCRIMINATION PUT BEFORE
COMMISSION FOR ITS ACTION.

Washington. Oct. 5.-The railroads
of the middle west are charged with
conspiring to ruin large creamery in
terests in seven states and territories
in a complaint filed before the inter
state commerce commission today. 1t
is held that business aggregating $14,-
100000 annually, besides millions of
dollars worth of equipment will be
ruined because of the conspiracy. The
complaint also alleges that in order to
make the ruin more complete, compel
itors are not included in the new tariff
districts.
The Chief complainants are The
Fairmount Creamery company, Beat
rice Creamery company and other es-
Establishments of Iowa. Nebraska, Mis-.
souri,, Colorado, Oklahoma, Wyoming
Kansas and South Dakota. collectively
producing more than 6O,O00,OO0 pounds
of butter annually.
The complaint charges that the rail
roads agreed upon an increase of rates
for transporting cream amounting tc
from 66 to 40 per cent. This in
crease was announced to go into effect
on Sept /. The creameries obtained
an injunction in the United States cir
cult court until October 8, restraining
the roads from applying the new sched
ule. Further hearing was set for thi!
date on the question of continuing th'
restraining order until the commission
investigates the charges.

WHO HAS DOLLAR? It
CAN NOT Be LOCATED
Feared That Some Person
Spent 1t Out of Town.
SUCH WOULD PROVE CLAIM.

Not who has the button, but who
has the dollar? Have you seen it
the Palladium at home dollar?' This
justly celebrated coin that was launch
ed into the Richmond business realm
many days ago has, after an active ca
reer, disappeared and no clue has
been discovered. All efforts of trac-
ers, business men and obliging sub
scribers have been futile in their at
tempt to find the missing coin and the
worst is feared that some unscrupu-
lous person has been spending his
money with out-of-town merchants,
and as a result Richmond has lost a
dollar that should have been expend-
ed at home with local merchants. If
such is the case, no more convincing
proof is needed to demonstrate the
desirability of patronizing local mer-
chants in preference to outsiders, thus
kee ping the money in Richmond.

The President and Other Hunt
erS Arrive at Lake Prov
idence on Time.
CAMP ON TENSAS RIVER.
NATIONAL NIMRoDS WILL LIVE
IN A COUNTRY WHERE THE
WooDMAN HAS SPARED THAT
TREE."-To BE NO VISITORS,

Lake Providence. La, Oct. 5-Pres-
ident Roosevelt and his party arrived
here today and a large crowd of peo-
pie living in the surrounding country
were lined up at the railroad station
to meet him. The President, in re-
sponse to the cheering, made a short
speech.
The party, all on horseback with
guides, started from Stamboul for the
camp. 1t was raining when the hunt
ing party arrived. President Roose-
welt has barred newspaper men from
his camp. Some of them had made ar
rangements to stay as guests of some
of the Presidents hosts, but Mr..
Roosevelt gave the word and the in
vitations were recalled. The CORES
pondents that always accompany the
President on his trips were not even
allowed to come on the special train
with him.
The Camp on the Tensas.
The Presidents hunting camp in
East Carroll parish, is all in readiness.
Every preparation has been made to
add to the comfort of the party and all
day yesterday and early this morning
men were at work building drains and
arranging tents. Eleven tents have
been pitched within a stones throw
of the Tensas river and the location
is a good one.
Five of the tents will be occupied
by the white members of the party,
while two will be turned over to the
negro guides and servants. the other
tents being a kitchen, a dining tent
and canvas spread for the horses.
Squirrels are numerous about the
camp and plenty of trout can be
caught in the Tensas. The servants
left at the camp will hunt for small
game during the day and will aid in
providing for the larder Of the Presi.
| dents party.
The party will not be disturbed by
visitors as the camp is situated ten
miles from a railroad and in section
of the country that has never heard a
woodman's ak before men began work
on the camp.

represent his county in the best pos
sible manner. Ratliff also says that
he does not understand the opposition

II Is Hoped That the Home of
The Late Benjamin Starr
May Be Secured for a Gar
field School Addition.
MIGHT SOLVE PROBLEM
NOW FACING BOARD.
Both the Garfield and High
School Buildings Crowded
and More Room at the For
mer Would Help the Latter.

At a meeting of the school board
Saturday it was decided to purchase
the property of the late Mrs. Elizabeth
Starr, corner of North Ninth and B
streets, providing the property could
be secured at reasonable figure.
This property has long been desired
by the school board and now that the
Starr estate is to be sold the school,
board decided that the property
should be secured as soon as possible
before it could be disposed of to ether
parties.
Just what will be done with the
property in the event it is secured by
the city has not yet been fully con-
sidered by the school board. In all
probability an addition to the Garfield
school would be built but not for at
least year or two years.
When the Garfield school was built
several years ago it was an expert
ment which was watched with consid-
cradle interest by educational people
all over the country. This school
practically gave a five and a half
years high school course, one and a
half years at the Garfield school and
four years at the high school. This
system has proven such marked
success that one ofthe best known
educational papers in the country re-
Gently stated editorially that Rich
mond had the best high school course
in the United States.
Both Schools Crowded.
At the present time the high school
and the Garfield school are crowded
by students and it has been the opin-
ion of several local educators that the
Richmond high school training system
could be brought to an even higher
standard if the Garfield building was
enlarged. BY building an addition to
the Garfield school on the Starr prop
erty students in the IA, SB, SA grades
and high school freshman could be
provided for in the enlarged Garfield
school building, while at the high
school building the sophomore, junior
and senior high school classes could
be quartered. This plan would relieve
the congestion at each building.
1t is also known that in the event
that the Starr property is purchased
by the city the school board would in
building an annex tu the Garfield
school building provide spacious quar-
ters for the manual training depart
ment and probably an entire floor te
be used as a public art gallery anG
auditorium wherein entertainments
and lectures of public benefit could
be held. The remainder of the build
ing would, of course, be used for class
rooms. The income Of the school fund
in this city only amounts to about
$4,000 per annum and in the event
the board can secure the Starr prop
erty it would be necessary for the
board to ask the city council to auth
orize the issuance of bonds to meet
the expenses of the purchase of the
property and the erection of the new
school building

FIGHT WITH
CHAIRS, CLUBS
AND FISTS
HObOken City Convention
Turned Into HOWllng Sue
cess by Delegates.
TWO TICKETS WERE
FINALLY NOMINATED

Hoboken, N. j., Sept. 21.-The
democratic city convention developed
into fight between two factions in
which the delegates used their fists,
chairs and other objects today. The
police tried to stop the fight but were
outnumIbered. After the fight the
delegates held separate conventions
on the same stage and named two
sets of city officers. The trouble
started over efforts of the adherents
of Patrick J. Griffin, who aspires to
lbe the leader of the party In the
city, to defeat Maurice j. Stack and
his supporters.
Griffin Led Fight.
Griffin did not desert his forces In
the rough and tumble battle but led
in the fight and he hurled more than
one of his opponents to the floor.
Black eyes, bleeding noses and faces
and a general appearance of disor-
der marked the place when the row.
stopped. The Stack supporters dur
ing the early part of the convention
were vindictive in their denunciation
of the other side, and this brought
on a wordy battle, which, during the
attempt of both sides to control the
organization, resulted in the gener-
al row.
The police did not draw their
weapons, II being recognized that
such an indlscretion might provoke
murder, and the officers were rough
ly handled. The Griffin forces had
the best Of II I'm numbers, but were
worsted in the fight.

WHITE MINERS DRIVE
JAP LABORERS
FROM CAMP
II Yellow Men Put on River
Steamer and Shipped
Away.
VIOLENCE WILL SURELY
FOLLOW THEIR RETURN

Seattle, Wash, sept 21.-Seventy-
seven japanese arriving at Atlin last
night to work in the mines, were es-
corted to the river steamer Cleaner
by three hundred whites this morn
ing and started back towards Van
couver. The white miners served no.
tice upon the Japanese that If they
did not stay away from this city, vio-
lence would be shown in protecting
the camp against Asiatic labor. The
japanese are almost destitute and
will be turned loose in SkagWay,
Alaska, to shift for themselves.
Whites Aroused.
The mine owners have also been
notified by the whites that any fur
ther attempt to import the Japanese
will meet with armed resistance, and
the owners may be called upon to
suffer.
The importation of coolie labor to
Atlin will certainly cause trouble,
and none of the other camps in this
vicinity will permit them to land.
At Vancouver the situation is
strained almost to the rioting point
and not a yellow man dares stop
there for fear of being killed. The
white people at Vancouver have no
tilted the Chinese, Hindus and Jap
anese residents to attend strictly TO
their own affairs or a stronger repe-
tition Of the first riots may result.
