OTHER PLACES GET
R|CHMOND'S MONEY
Thousands of Dollars Spent
Elsewhere Because of No
Local Attraction.
TRAVEL WAS VERY HEAVY.
IL WOULD BE A GOOD INVEST
MENT TO PROVIDE ATTRAC-
TIoNS THAT WOULD KEEP THE
PEOPLE IN RICHMOND.

Thousands went out of Richmond
Wednesday and today, all because
surrounding towns offered something
that Richmond did not-old-fashioned
Fourth of July celebrations. Practi-
cally all of the smaller towns within a
radius of fifty miles of Richmond are
today celebrating the Fourth in the
old fashioned style. The only thing
offered to Richmond people which
will in any way resemble the old fash
ioned celebrations will be the display
of fireworks given at the Glen tonight
by the Richmond Street and Interur-
ban railway company. Those people
who remain in the city will probably
go to the Glen tonight in hundreds.
The railroads and interurbans run
ming out of Richmond Wednesday and
this morning were crowded. and par
ticularly was this true of the Penn
sylvania trains. All day "Wednesday
and this morning extra coaches were
added to the passenger trains leaving
Richmond in different directions, to
accommodate the great crowds of out
going Richmond residents. Local en-
business hasn't been so great in years
as it has been within the past two
days. The c. c. & L. railroad has
also done an extremely large business
both north and south of Richmond.
The hourly interurban cars have been
crowded. The greatest per cent of
the tickets sold from Richmond to
other points has been to Indianapolis
and Dayton. All public Transportation
companies stations have been crowd
ed for the past two days.
isn't it funny said we'll known
professional man on the street corner
why Richmond does not get busy
and get some attraction that will
hold the people in the city on public
holidays. Each year the city loses
hundreds of dollars simply because
no endeavor is made to hold people
i'm the city. They are allowed TO go
to other cities and spend their money
without the people in this city who
are in position to do things, turning
their hands to retain them here
This one mans comment on the
lack of interest shown here to retain
the people in the city on public holi-
days, was not the only wall heard
when each car and train left the city
loaded with Richmond people and
their money to be spent elsewhere.

SouthpaW TWirIer Makes Him
self Useful in Extinguish-
ing a Blaze.
OFFERED PLACE BY MILLER
AS HE is THE PROPERTY OF THE
EVANSVILLE CENTRAL LEAGUE
TEAM HE COULD NOT SIGN
UP.

VIII "Tacks'' Fisher, the southpaw
whose Marcel waved hair is at once
the delight and despair of the ladies,
played the hero act Wednesday night,
and at the risk of being shot for a
porch climber. extinguished the blaz-
ing roof of the home of Charles Tooker,
212 North Twelfth street.
Fishers feat reached the ears of
Fire Chief Miller. who Immediately Of
fered him contract to sign with the
fire department. The contract was
turned down because. he states. he
had no right to sign it, being the prop
erty of the Evansville Central League
team. Mr.. Fisher says that signing
up with Chief Miller might blacklist
him as a contract jumper.
Wednesday evening about 1870, as
Tacks was blowing out the gas in his
room at boarding house on North
Twelfth street. he noticed a toy balloon
with the oil-soaked cotton in it burn
ing brightly, drop on the kitchen roof
of the Tooker home. Fascinated. he
watched the flames surely. but slowly
spread to the shingles. Then Mr..
Fisher heard the scream of woman.
Hurriedly donning sweater and a
Prince Albert, Tacks dashed madly
from his room to the fire. He was
followed by Harry Brehm. neighbor.
When Fisher and Brehm reached the
Tooker home the roof was burning
brightly. Up to the roof Fisher
scrambled, tearing his trousers in the
ascent.
While Brehm was filling buckets of
water. Fisher began to paw the blaze
with his pitching talon. incidentally
he tapped on a window to inform the
inmates of the home that his mission
was that of volunteer fireman-not a
burglar. When Brehm secured the
water he passed the buckets to Fisher
who instantly doused the glim. He
then rang fire out" dropped to the
ground and. with Brehm. galloped
home like hose cart. 1t is needless
to say that Mr.. Fisher is the pride of
North Twelfth street. His neighbors
will be at Athletic park this afternoon
to pull for him in his attempt to ex-
tinguish the Dayton Shilohs.

Prison Tell on Him.

Friends of ]. ID. Reid. warden of the
Indiana state prison. are convinced
that his present physical condition is
largely the result of mental worry in

the state courts in inflicting the death
penalty.
In the six years that Warden Reid
has served as the head of the Michigan
City penal institution he has been COM
PEELED to put thirteen men to death.

ers. torpedoes and other explosives.

lice Bailey warned the people OF the

Juan HILL The din was terrific
Revolvers and pistols and crackers OF
huge sic were all used in ushering in
the national birthday celebration. To-
day, however, the streets of Richmond
truly were deserted. but the early
morning was marked by some enthusi-
Esm.
Today the Glen was filled with picnic
parties. while several hundred people
attended the picnic of the Lutheran
churches at Rocky HILL" the Geo. II.
Knollenberg farm, south of town. In
fact. ricnics seemed to be the chief
amusement. The livery stables were
completely cleaned out by the demand
for rigs. Many people journeyed to

pie went to the Park this morning.
The baseball game at Athletic park
this afternoon is expected to draw a
the record breaking crowd of the sea-
son. Factories, shops. Offices and
stores throughout Richmond were
closed that the employees might OBJ
serve the great national holiday.
About the only two places where
business proceeded unmolested, SIM
ply because those getting vacation
demanded it were the railroad and
interurban ticket Offices and the news
papers.
The Fourth in Richmond can be
said to be only partially successful.
The old fashioned, rip-roaring, side
splitting cracker-shooting, cannon
booming, tin-horn-tooting, celebration

and people take the event in a more
matter of course style than ever be-
fore.

Motions to Strike Out Evidence
Will Be Submitted
BY the State.
VIOLENCE WAS COUNSELED
DETECTIVES, THE WITNESSES
STATE, ADVISED THIS COURSE
WOMAN TOLD OF PERSECU-
TiON BY MINERS.

Boise. Idaho, July AT the adjourn
ment of the Haywood trial Wednesday
the prosecution served notice of it's in
tention to submit series of motions
to strike out evidence of the defense
unless the connecting-up testimony
that has been promised is forthcoming
Clarence Darrow. for the defense, had
previously announced that his side
might be able to rest by Saturday
evening, although it might be neces-
sary to let the calling of Haywood and
Meyer go over until Monday. and fol-
lowing an informal conference with
counsel. Judge Wood directed the
prosecution to be ready on Monday
with its case in rebuttal
James H. Hawley, senior counsel for
the state, said in reply that it was the
intention of himself and his assistants
to present a series of motions dealing
with the evidence presented by the
defense. Messrs. Darrow and Richard
son were on their feet instantly to say
together that the defense also would
have some motions to make, so that by
the end of the week or the early part
of next. the taking of testimony will
probably be interrupted for an extend
ed argument on the admissibility of a
mass of evidence already in the rec
ord.
The Days Evidence.
The defense operated "Wednesday
along nearly all of its lines. There
were attacks on Orchards testimony
at several points: there was showing
that union miners had been abused by
the niue owners and militia at Cripple
Creek and Telluride; that Pinkerton
agents had advised violence and en-
deavored to prolong a strike: woman
who served with the Relief Committee
that looked after families of the de-
ported miners at Cripple Greek swore
that she had been twice arrested and
twice warned that if she persisted in
her work she would be deported. and
another woman located Orchard with
Detectives Scott and Sterling the night
of the second attempt to wreck the
Florence and Cripple Greek Railway
train.

new BRIDGE
SAYS BURR

At a meeting Of the mayor, board
of works and councilmen, called for
o'clock, Prof William H. Burr,
the New York bridge expert, will
submit verbal report on Monroe
st. bridge. He will recommend .
new bridge with reinforced con-
crete as the best material. Asked
this morning If he would give out
any information on what his re-
port might be, he said he would not
make it public until submitted this
afternoon.
Meanwhile Pres. Pratt, of the
council, declares that as far as his
influence goes no new bridge will
be built unless the w. w. P. Co. is
willing to pay half the cost. He be-
lieves that the majority Of the
council will take the same attitude.
The Central Labor unions letter
to the council and mayor, asking
that the w. w. P. Co. be required
to bear a fair share of the cost If a
new bridge is built, was read in
the council meeting last night and
placed on file. In addition to the
attitude of labor in regard to the
bridge matter, many business and
professional men who have inves-
tigated the subject are opposed to
the plan to expend the entire bond
issue for one bridge. which will
practically become the property of
the power monopoly without cost to
that institution.
1t is now a case of a new bridge
if the w. w. p Co. will pay it's
share. Otherwise the city can
maintain the old bridge for wagon
and foot traffic as it is and compel
the company to keep cars off Of it.

SAYS He WAS
/. KICKED IN JAIL

Ben Clamp, 1926 Ide av., has a
big kick on the police department.
He was arrested Monday for rid
ing on the sidewalk and fined a to-
tai of Sc Tuesday. He was kept at
the Jail, as he had no money to
pay the fine. At o'clock that aft
ernoon he says his employer, A. O..
Loomis, came and paid the fine, but
was told Clamp had been released
when as matter of fact he was
still in Jail.
Clamp says he approached the
jail door while a prisoner was be-
ing brought in to ask when he
could get out and was knocked
down and kicked by the jailer. At
8 O'Clock his father, Sam Clamp,
appeared and paid his fine a Sec
ond time. Then he got out.
Chief Rice says that Clamp was
I'M the court anteroOm when
Loomis came to pay the fine,
which is why he couldn't be found
in. Jail. He issued an order today
to return the fine paid by LOOMS.

SCRAP ON OVER
OLIVE ST.

A lively scrap developed last
night between councilmen from the
east and west sides over the E..
Olive st. bridge scheme. Charles
Liftchild and associates want the
bridge in order to build a business
district In the vicinity and draw
the farmers trade.
But the councilmen who repre-
sent the western portion of the
city insist there shall be no bridge
at Olive st. or any other street un-
til the Monroe ST. bridge SQUAD
BILE Is settled.
Engineer Mcintyre last night
submitted plans of the proposed e.
Olive st. bridge and they were re-
ferred back to the committee for
a definite proposition as to just
how much of the cost would be

To ELECTR|FY
NEW RAILROAD

PORTLAND, Oct. 16.-With the
intention of Harvesting the tremen-
dous waste energy Of the Columbia
river, steps have been taken by the
filing of a water right at Stevenson,
the county seat of Skamania
county, Wash, claiming the use OF
water of the Columbia at the upper
Cascades. The project contem-
plates the completion of an electric
power plant that will grind out 3d.
100 horsepower.
H. C. Eckenberger, general
freight agent at Portland for the
New York Central lines, appears
in the project and made the filing.
The only explanation given local
ly is that the power project is back
ed by the builders of the Portland
& Seattle railway and that the in
tention is to eleetrify the road as
soon as power generators are COM
pleted. The plan outlined contem-
plates the construction of a fiume
along the river bank over two
miles in length.

DENNIS SCHEME GETS
HARD RAP FROM BOARD

G. B. Dennis oft repeated propo-
sition to the city that his company
be paid $4,000 to build fill where
the dilapidated E. Sprague trestle
now stands, was knocked in the
head last night by Commissioner
J. T. O'Brien, who announced that
the board of works, to whom the
proposition was referred, would
report adversely.
The eagerness of Mr.. Dennis in
the matter has caused a closer in
quiry into the scheme. 1t develops
that the Dennis company owns
several blocks of now worthless
cliffs in the vicinity, and to build
the warehouse district proposed
there it will be necessary to move
this rock at great expense. If the
Dennis company were allowed to
make the fill these rocks would be
used and when the fill was COM
pleted would greatly increase the
value of the realty.
Recently d. c. Corbin offered the
city so cents cubic yard to take
away a cliff on the right of way of
the Spokane & International. If
Dennis would offer to pay for the
removal of his cliffs, the city could
put the rock in the fill and greatly
reduce the cost to the public. City
Engineer Mcintyre estimates that
the entire cost would be $4,000.
The Washington Water Power Co.
and the Inland Empire system
would be equally benefited, and
each should pay a third. This
would make the city's cost far be-
low the $4,000 asked by Dennis.
Notwithstanding Inc fact that
Corporation Counsel Hamblen
three weeks ago submitted an opin-
ion that it was illegal to give Den
