Some of the Young People Are
Interested in Chautau-
qua'S Attitude.
MRS. MAVERICK is SECURED
DATE FOR DAVID STARR JORDAN
HAS BEEN CANCELLED 6Y HIS
MANAGEMENT AND sToNEKINo
SUBSTITUTED.

Many of the younger campers VINO
last year played cards greater por-
tion Of the time In their tents on the
chautauqua grounds. are wondering
just what action will be taken by the
chautauqua management this year in
regard TO card playing. Last year tho
rumor was circulated that there was
gambling going on on the grounds on
a small scale. and the police author
tiles were appealed To with the result
that card playing of any kind what
ever was prohibited. Many of the
young people claimed this ruling was
unjust.
Last year during such sessions as
were of no particular interest to the
younger people. the latter would as
semble in their tents and pass the
time by playing cards.
The chautauqua management Is ST.
lent on the matter and will say moth
ing other than the matter will not he
dealt with until occasion demands.
An announcement probably will be
made the opening day of the sessions
and il is not thought card playing will
be tolerated.
Mrs. Maybrick Coming.
The program committee, which has
been in correspondence with Secre-
tary Shaw for several days, have TAX
en- his advice and secured the servi-
ces of Mrs. Florence Maybrick for the
last Sunday program. Mrs. Maybrick
was sentenced for life to the London
prison for the murder OF her husband.
She served fifteen years. during which
time her attorneys made constant
fight for her release. After many
years i'm prison IL was finally proven
beyond all possibility OF doubt that
she was innocent OF the crime for
which she was convicted and she was
released. broken in spirit and body.
Since that time however, she has
gained much of her old time health.
Her confinement in the English pri-
son gave her ample time for the study
of prison conditions and she will deal
with these as compared with those
of America.
Although the chautauuua program
committee is jubiant that 1t has Sc
cured the services OF Mrs Maybricx
there is a feeling of regret over the
cancellation of the David Starr Jordan
date by his management. A telegram
has been received stating that IL will
be impossible for him to be here for
various reasons. In his stead John
A. Stoneking has been secured and
he will explain the mysteries OF the
wireless telegraph. He will have a
complete apparatus and this lecture
gives promise of attracting wide-
spread interest. owing to the great
developments that have been made
in the past few years in this peculiar
and remarkable field OF electrical
communication.

that in Prof Mendenhall they have a
man who can avoid anything of this
nature.

Claimed Programs Rendered
Are Not as Long as They
Ought to Be.
MANAGER DEUKER DENIES.
SAYS THE PROGRAMS ARE LONG,

THAT THEY ARE GIVEN FOR
MUCH LESS MONEY.

Since the Inauguration of band con
certs at Glen Miller on Sunday after.
noon there have been numerous COM
plants registered as 10 the shortness
of the programs given by the Rich
mond City band. The excellence,
however, has never bean questioned.
Manager Lawrence Deuker stated .hat
the band was giving a concert longer
than those given in other parks over
the country and at the same time is
furnishing ten of the latest and most
up-to-date musical selections obtain
able, while the bands in other cities
where park concerts are given, play
but eight and the remuneration they
receive for the same is about three
times as large as that the City band
receives.
The local band receives $40 for each
afternoons play and this is being
turned into the uniform purchase
fund. In the coruse of the next two
weeks the band will blossom out in
handsome new uniforms which are in
tended to completely dazzle the pop
ulace.
Music is Popular.
Manager Deuker states that of the
entire selection of new pieces played
each week, only one is of classical
order, as the people demand selections
Of popular nature. The band has this
season spent nearly 500 for new nu-
sic. the majority of that purchased
being of popular strain. Much of the
music now being played is popular in
the Eastern cities and has not come
far west Much of it will find its way
westward with the advent of the win

The band concerts at the Glen ere
proving very popular, and each Sun
day witnesses a larger crowd than on
the occasion of the proceeding con-

Fugitive Will Not Be Taken
Back to the Springfield
Masonic Home.
A PURSE RAISED FOR HIM.
R1EEN-YEAR-OLD LAD WILL
CONTINUE HIS JOURNEY TO
MISSOURI GIVEN TRANSPORT
TATION

Claude Hickson. the fourteen-year-
old fugitive from the Masonic orpii-
ans home at Springfield, O., who was
arrested in this city Wednesday night,
is the happiest boy in the United
States; at least he says he is. From
the depths of gloom Thursday morn
ing he was lifted to the seventh heav-
en- of bliss Thursday afternoon, all on
account of message received from
Superintendent Parsons of the Mason
ic home.
Chief Bailey Thursday afternoon
telephoned to Mr.. Parsons and inform
ed him that the youthful fugitive was
being held here. Mr.. Parsons stated
that if the boy did not want TO return
to the home to give him his liberty.
He said that Claude is much older
than his years and well able to care
for himself and he also stated that
Claude is a good boy. Mr.. Parsons
held nothing against Claude for TAX
ing French leave OF the institution.
Hckson Delighted.
When this information was given to
young Hickson his delight knew no
bounds and he said that he wanted to
start Immediately on his long journey
to Dallas county, Missouri, where he
expects to join his two brothers. An
empty purse and no transportation ex-
cept a badly dilapidated bicycle held
no terrors for him. He stated hat he
was sorry he lied to Chief Bailey when
he was first accused of being a run
away but that he did so to avoid being
sent back to the Masonic home. About
$500 was raised among the policemen
and reporters, who took a keen liking
to the bright youngster, and Chief
Bailey secured transportation for him
on the traction line from here to In
dianapolis. He stated that nc woGld
not stop off at Indianapolis but would
use part of the money given MIN to
buy transportation from Indianapolis
to Terre Haute. Accompanied by his
faithful bicycle, young Hick3on set
forth on his journey at late hoI;r in
the afternoon. He also bore with him
a letter from Chief Bailey to bs used
in case he is taken into custody IN
any of the towns through which he
will pass.

In the main Office here the officials

poor success.
