ANTICIPATE HEAVY
DEMAND FOR HELP
Charitable Organizations Are
Alive to the Situation
Confronting Them.
MONEY is BADLY NEEDED.
THERE SEEMS TO BE A GENERAL
APATHY ON THE PART OF THE
PUeLlC-FEW UNWORTHY POOR
ABLE TO SECURE AID.

Charitable organizations of Rich
mond. which make it their duty to
care for such families as are not able
to subsist during the winter months
without aid. fear there will be more
families in the city during the COM
ing winter in distress, than in several
years. This belief is based on busi-
ness conditions resulting from the
furry in New York recently.
About twenty families are now und-
er the care of these charitable organ
iZations, as was reported at the Coun-
Gil of Associated Charities, Tuesday.
The organizations represented there
were the Penny club Woman's Relief
corps. County Board Of Charities, AS
sociated Charities and the township
trustee
There are not many unworthy Door
in Richmond who have been cared for
IN the past two months. Only a few
Implications have been made. People
seeking aid now are those who de-
serve it.
In years past it has been the habit
of the lazy and indolent. those who
need charity in way. but who are
too shiftless to work for living, have
in turn appeared before various char
liable organizations for aid. making a
pitiful plea. These generally secured
what they wished, but by consultation
IN the council of charities. these dupli-
cations are almost entirely done away
with.
Funds through which the associated
charities hores TO carry on the work
during the winter are as yet small. due
to the general apathy of the citizens
of the city towards charitable work

Woman Is Arraigned on the
Charge of Numbering Ex-
Senator Brown.
WORKING ON THE JURY.
1T HAS DEVELOPED THAT PUB
LIC SENTIMENT IN WASHING
TON is GREATLY FAVORABLE
TO THE ACCUSED.

Washington, Nov. 13.-Many were
turned away from the criminal court
today when the trial of Mrs. Annie NJ.
Bradley, charged with the murder Of
ex-senator Brown, of Utah, began.
Judge Stafford is presiding. Exami-
nation of the talesmen began at once.
The prisoner took a keen interest in
the proceedings and will no doubt have
something to say in the selection of
men on the jury. 1t has developed
that public sentiment in Washington is
favorable to Mrs. Bradley. -Four
men were challenged, two being ne
groes. Ten men remained in the jury
box to be examined when the court
recessed at one o'clock.

Warrant Was Served on Him
Tuesday Evening While
He Was in Bed.
THE FINE HAD BEEN STAID.
JUST AND THAT HE WOULD
NEVER PAY 1T, BUT CHANGED
HIS MIND.

William B. Golden. formerly a mem
Der of the Richmond police force, was
arrested Tuesday evening at his home
for failure TO pay a fine of 500 and
costs. amounting to $50, which was
, "staid" for ninety days by William S.
Clendenen. Golden was in bed at the
time of his arrest, and when told what
the charge was against him, he stated
that he would not pay it and started
to get dressed to accompany the Off
Ger 10 the city Jail. Before complet-
ing his toilet. Golden reconsidered his
determination and paid to the officer
the amount Of his fine.
On August ., last. Golden was ar
! rested on two charges of having sold
! liquor to minors. Prosecutor Jessup,
after consultation with Golden's at
! torney, Henry L. Johnson. dismissed
one of the cases against Golden and
heSthen entered a plea Of guilty to the
second charge. Judge Converse as
sessed a fine of $50 and costs.
Golden stated that he did not have
the money to pay this fine and he
went to Mr. Clendenin and asked him
to stay it for ninety days. AS a favor
Mr.. Clendenen agreed to do SO and
went to police headquarters where he
signed paper guaranteeing that Gold
en- would pay the amount of his fine
within ninety days. When this time
expired. November =. the fine had not
been paid and the police went to Mr..
Clendenen and informed him of the
fact. Mr.. Clendenen stated that Gold
en- had never paid him one cent on the
fine and that he did not desire to pay
it until the police had exhausted every
means to force Golden to meet the OBJ
/ legation. A wanrrant for Golden'S ar
rest was then sworn out. Had Golden
not paid the fine he would have been
sent TO the county jail to serve it out,
and Mr.. Clendenen would have been
forced to pay out the $50 he stood good
for.
/ At police headquarters Monday last.
.hief Bailey states that he asked Gold
en- TO pay the fine. but that he refused
to do so. He said that the fine was
unjust and that he would never pay it.
Every person convicted in city court
whose fine is staid must meet the OBJ
| legation within the required length of
! time or serve out his fine in the coun-
| ty Jail. l hope the arrest OF Golden
will be an object lesson" stated Judge
Converse

THE MERRY HUNTING SEASON ON NEULL BLAST

Hunting dogs are at a premium
Anyone not nimrod. who possesses a
canine which reSem 5les even in the
slightest degree Il setter or d pointer
is besieged by hunters for the loan II
said dog. One farmer has reported
that Monday last there were about fifty
hunters in his ten-acre corn field and
mat from sun rise to sun set the at
mosphere was absolutely laden with
bird shot. The intelligent rabbit
these days, on climbing out of his bed
of a morning eats a hasty breakfast
and then starts to run an maintains
this pace until the shades Of evening
have fallen.
Hunters report that quail are decid-
edly scarce. One nimrod has located
bob white in a corn field south OF
town and Is now organizing a gattling
gun squad to ambush it. Game of the
hog. sheep and cattle variety are still
Plentiful, but are being well guarded
by the farmers.

The woods. corn fielos and thickets
of old Wane county these clear, frosty
days, are alive with hunters armed
with various assortments of weapons
from revolutionary war fiintlCcks
down to air rifles Over five hundred
citizens have secured hunting licenses
and the demand foI the same still con-
tinues with unabated fury. Monday
of this week County Clerk Penny ex-
hausted his supply of licenses and the
famine continued until Il fresh supply
was received from State Game War

Up-to-date our nimrods have massa-
cred over one thousand rabbits and a
conductor on city car standing near
the city limits, has been shot in the
back. Up-to-date the only hunter that
has not been seduced by the call Of the

chel. of Cambridge City-his prey still
remains the festive automobile.

GET THE BETTER OF HIM
GETS WORK AT ONCE.

In the city court this morning Ed

capable workman, signed an agree
ment before Judge Converse to quit

have his pay each week turned over
to his wife. Judge Converse told
chance to make a man of himself for
his own sake and for the sake OF his
wife and two children who are depen-
dent upon him for living. Hiatt was
then informed by the court that he
must either sign an agreement TO quit
strong drink and to have his wife
made the custodian of his weekly
wages, or serve time in the county
Jail.
Hiatt stated that he would have TO
take time to think the proposition ov-
er. You will get no time to think 1t

the agreement was drawn up and he
attached his signature to it.

a man capable of earning in the neigh

when he has proven to the court and

NEW YORK CONCERN AGREED
TO FLOAT BONDS WORTH $780,
ooo-PRESENT CONDITIONS NOT
FAVORABLE.

Promoters of the Richmond and

say the proposition is far from dead.
Affairs are moving along slowly for
the reason, they say, they want every
thing in first class condition before
an ounce of dirt is turned toward the
lines construction.
4 big New York bonding company
has agreed TO finance the line to the
extent of s1,20O,OOO, and has furtner-
more made the statement that the
bonds will be forthcoming as soon as
the present financial furry has entire
ly disappeared and affairs generally
resume their normal condition. It is
feared, however, that the presidential

presidential election will Telay the
bond issue. In years past, such cleo
tiOns have always had an effect upon
financial conditions, tightening the
money market almost a year before

Should the money market ease in the
least before election local promoters
of the Richmond line feel
confident that the bonds for the i'm
mense amount required will then be
freely issued by the New York COM
pany.
Can't Set a Date.
The proposition is gaining a more
tangible form day by day the local
men directly interested say They.
however refuse to set date as to
when actual construction work will be-

this week consulting with Richmond

thusiastic over the prospects for an
