COAL COMBINE TO
Be MADE DEFENDANT
New Castle Dealer Plans to
Institute Proceedings
Against Dealers.
LEHIGH co. COMPLAINED OF
w. r. DINGLE, AN INDEPENDENT
DEALER, CLAIMS THAT THE
COMPANY REFUSES TO SHIP
HIM COAL WHEN ORDERED.

New Castle, Ind, Sept. 1S-That
there exists combine among the big
coal dealers seems sure, and action
against the Lehigh Coal company may
be taken in the courts. w. F. Dingle,
an independent dealer, of this city, sew
eral months ago ordered coal from this
company and was later refused the
shipment, the company stating that
they could not sell to him, as he was
an Independent dealer. Mr.. Dingle
has written three letters to the com
pany concerning the matter, none OF
which has been answered, and he is
now consulting with attorneys with
the idea of commencing action against
them.
Mr. Dingle has received letters from
dealers at Charlottesville and other
places where the same treatment has
been accorded Independent dealers,
asking for information as to his ex-
perience. In this city it is charged
that a combine exists among the coal
dealers with the result that independ-
eut dealers can not buy coal on ac-
count of the combine lodging COM
nlaints. Prices here are above those
in surrounding towns. Mr.. D1ngle
homes in some manner to file proceed
ings against the combine and is now
consulting attorneys.

NO FOOTMAN GRANTED
FOR THE WEST SIDE
Postal Department Will Not
Listen To It.

From all appearances the hair of the
younger generation residing in West
Richmond will be tinged with grey,
and that section of the city will have
grown into a city before the federal
postal officials will see fit to place a
footman west of the river. For months
and months the residents of West Rich
mond and Fairview have appealed to
Postmaster Spekenhier to use his in
fluence in securing a footman for that
section of the city. With Postmaster
Spekenhier's influence, coupled with
the forceful demands of the people, the
federal postal officials have not been
moved to compassion and the two
mounted carriers in that region west
of the Whitewater, will continue to do
duty for many more months and even
years to come.
In speaking of the matter, Postmas-
ter Spekenhier said that he supposed
since the salaries of the clerks and car
riers. as well as rural carriers were in
creased, the postal officials were ad-
verse to adding any additional expense
where the present system of things
could be continued. Expenses in all
branches are being curtailed and but
few, if any. further improvements in
the service in Richmond is expected
soon.

ing a short time on the business

Ter in social and business circles his

They Have Been Camping on
The Trail of Various
Local People.
is NO CRIMINAL INTENT.
IN MOST CASES VIOLATION OF
THE LAW HAS BEEN INADvERT-
EMILY DONE THROUGH ioNoR-
ANCE.

Federal postoffice inspectors have
been camping on the trail of several
Richmond people who have unthought-
edly used postage stamps which were
mutilated in some manner. In the
majority of such instances the per-
sons caught using such stamps were
those who could produce proofs that
their use had not been malicious or
done knowingly.
Recently a Richmond woman, resid-
ing on the south side. used stamp
which had come in contact with some
ink in the drawer where she kept
both. The stamp had but a slight
spot of ink on it but nevertheless.
that little spot was cause for Visit
of federal inspector 10 this city who
She admitted To the inspector that she
had used the stamp but said that she
did not know she was committing
crime against the postal laws. Her
story told in straightforward, but
frightened manner convinced the In
spector that she had not committed
knowingly a crime and she was shown
leniency and not arrested.
Using a mutilated stamp is punish
able by heavy fines or Imprisonment.
The penalty for using such stamps Is
from six to twelve months. imprison-
ment or from one to five hundred
dollars in fines.
Mutiiation of stamps is very easy.
One which is cut in any way that a
portion of IL is missing. is unfit for
use. In many instances the stamps
are stained by ink on the fingers OF
those who have been writing with ink.
Hundreds OF other ways are known
in which stamps can be mutilated. IL
IL much cheaper. says Postmaster
Spekenhier, to replace the mutilated
stamp with good one, than to lay
ones self liable.

.EVADED BLUE LAWS
At AKRON HOTEL
Police Awake to Fact That a
Resort Has Been in
Operation Here.
UNCOVERED BY ARRESTS.
ONE WOMAN PLEAD GUILTY TO
CHARGE OF VISITING A HOUSE
OF ILL FAME-oTHER CASES
PENDING.

Despite the fact that the police have
iabored under the impression for the
past two years that Richmond is a
model city, governed by the blue laws
laid down by Governor Hanly and en-
forced by the police under orders OF
the police board, it has just been dls-
covered that for some time past the
Akron hotel on North Tenth street
Just few yards north of the Penn
sylvania railroad tracks, has been
notorious resort frequented by men
and women of bad regulations.
The police discovered that this an
cient building was more or less OF a
resort by a drunken hrawl which took
place there last Sunday afternoon,
the victim of which, Frank Smith,
custodian of the building, nearly lost
his life. William Bolland was arrest
ed on the charge of having assaulted
Smith. Mrs. Bolland, who was help,
lessly drunk, was arrested on the
charge of intoxication and Chief Bal
ley states it is probable that she will
be charged with another offense, the
police being of the opinion that she
is not legally married to Bolland.
Moll Lewis was arrested the same
afternoon at the Akron hotel on
charge of visiting a house of i'll fame
and the woman plead guilty to the
charge John Sebastian was arrested
Sunday, charged with associating with
the Lewis woman and he plead guilty
to the charge.
Tuesday a woman by the name ol
Rosa Fort, who has been living at the
Akron hotel was arrested and, CHIEF
Bailey states, she will in all probab
ility be charged with prostitution
Her case will be given a hearing in
the city court Thursday morning. The
police do not state as to whether
there will be ANY more arrests made
as result of the investigation of the
Akron hotel.

Appears Voters of Oklahoma
Take This Action by
Large Majority.
lit MEANS PROHIBITION.
THE DEMOCRATS HAVE ELECTED
THEIR TICKET AND ALSO GET
THREE OF THE FIVE CONGRESS-
MEN.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Sept. 1S.-Re-
turns received from the larger cities
and counties of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory indicate that the constitution
of the proposed new state has been
adopted by a large majority; that the
prohibition clause of the constitution,
which was voted on separately, has al
so been ratified, and that the demo-
cratic state ticket, headed by c. n. Has
kell for governor, has been elected by
probably 10000 majority over the re-
publican state ticket, headed by Frank
Frantz. the present territorial COVER
nor of Oklahoma. The voting was
very heavy Several days will elapse
before complete returns are in.
Republicans Carry Two Districts.
The new state elects five congress
men. In the First and Second dis
tricts the republicans probably elect
ed delegates to congress. The Third.
Fourth and Fifth districts have been
conceded to the democrats.
The convention that framed the state
constitution was heavily democratic
and the constitution as completed was
obnoxious to the republicans. Secre-
tary Taft. speaking recently at Okla
homa City, advised republicans to vote
against the constitution, because of the
strong desire for statehood. However.
the republican party did not attempt
to defeat the constitution.
The new state must await the const1-
tution's Endorsement by President
Roosevelt, who will either confirm or
reject it upon his judgment as to
whether or not it conforms to the en-
abling act of congress and the constitu-
ton of the United States.
In the enabling act Congress provid-
ed for prohibition in the Indian Terri
tory for twenty-one years from Jan. l,
1906. The prohibition clause voted on
applies the same provision to the Okla
homa side of the new state. If it has
carried. as seems possible, state wide
prohibition will be part of the con-
stitution for twenty-one years and at
the end of that period will remain in
force Indefinitely unless repealed.

HAVE YOU MISSED ANY?
Weeds Said to Be ScarCer
About the City.

That there are fewer weeds in Rich
mond at this time than In past years
is the belief of City Street CommIs-
sioner Dye. The weeds on commons
have been cut at the city's expense,
while the property owners after being
instructed to do SO, have cut the
weeds adjacent and on their proper
ties at their own expense. However,
the rapid growing weather has given
the second crop an impetus and it is
hardly probable that these will be cut
before cold weather.
