A MERE LAD RAN AWAY
MADE TO RISE TOO EARLY
indianapolis Youngster Came to This
City Because His Mother was Cross
with Him - Father Came Here Aft
er Him.

Because as he stated, his mother had
reprimanded him for not getting up
earlier of morning, Raymond Decker,
fifteen-year-old boy of Indianapolis,
ran away from his home in that city
Monday morning and came 10 this city,
in the search of employment. On ar
irving here he was attacked with a
bad case of home sickness and posted
a card TO his folks in Indianapolis, ask
ing them to forward him S1.05 that he
might return On receiving the card
yesterday morning, the boys father tel
egraphed to the local police depart
ment and asked the officers to appre-
hend the lad. The boy again went to
the postoffice yesterday afternoon to
post another card, and he had no more
than entered the lobby than he was
nabbed by Parolman Vogelsong, after
which he was taken to headquarters,
where Supt Bailey's famous sweating
process, back of closed doors, was ad-
ministered to the boy. The lads
father arrived in the city later and ad
mitted that his wife had been cross to
the boy, but did not think that reason
why he should run a way from home.
The lad later accompanied his father
to Indianapolis.

Miss Oma HadIey Struggles
with Three Men, But is
Finally Subdued.
HER CASE is PATHETIC
HAD BEEN RETURNED FROM A
SANlTARiUM IN MICHIGAN, BUT
ON REACHING HER HOME RE-
FUSED TO ENTER.

The spectacle OF young woman
struggling with three men at the cor
ner of North Ninth and c streets late
yesterday afternoon, attracted the at
tention of the residents of that locali-
ty. There was a disposition on the
part of several members Of the crowd
that gathered, to interfere until they
understood the circumstances sur
rounding the case.
About six months ago Miss Oma
Hadley, who lives with her mother at
the intersection of the above named
thoroughfares, showed very plainly
by her actions that she was me ntally
unbalanced, and she was placed in a
sanitarium at Battle Creek, Michigan
Her mother, Mrs. Hadley Graves, re-
Gently paid a visit to this institution
and decided that her daughter was not
receiving the proper treatment At
her request, Albert Mote, a relative of
the family, went to Battle Creek and
brought the young woman home. He
had no trouble with her until she
reached this city, when she declared
that she would not enter her mothers
house.
Councilman Engelbert and DR.. Hop
kins happened to be passing along the
street at the time, and they assisted
Mr.. Mote in getting the young woman
into the house. She then became SO
violent that DIR. Hopkins telephoned
for the ambulance, intending to have
her removed to the detention depart
ment for the Home for the FriendIess,
but was informed before the arrival of
this vehicle that no insane patients
would be received at that institution
on affidavit of the sheriff AS
a result Miss Hadley is confined in a
room at the home of her mother un-
der a strong guard.

DR., FRANK BRISTOL
FAILED To COME
Large Audience at the Gennett
Theater Last Night was
Disappointed.
NO EXPLANATION GIVEN
NOTED DIVINE REMAINED AT
HOME IN WASHINGTON D. c..
WITHOUT NOTIFYING LOCAL
MANAGERS.

A large audience at the Gennett last
night sat patiently waiting for the
speaker of the evening, the Rev DR..
Frank Bristol to appear and deliver
his address on Brains" under the
auspices of the Popular Lecture
course but DIR. Bristol was in Wash
ington, D. c. with apparently no
thought of coming here.
The local managers of the lecture
course are at loss to understand why
Dr. Bristol broke his engagement.
Several days ago he wrote to Prof.
E.. p. Trueblood giving him the choice
of two subjects, and a representative
of the lyceum bureau through which
DR.. Bristol was booked was in the
city last night and said that all ar
rangements had been perfected for
his coming. He was to have spoken
at Elkhart tonight. It is known that
DR.. Bristol remained in Washington
last night for his agent called him
up over the long distance telephone
but trouble on the wires prevented
an intelligent conversation.
The lecture of Dr. Bristol was look
ed forward to with great interest. He
is one of the leading divines of the
Methodist church and was William
McKinley's pastor during the latter
years of his life. At the present time
many of the leading statesmen of the
nation attend his church

RICHMOND BAKING
COMPANY HAS FIRE
Stubborn Blaze Late Last
Night Caused a Loss of
Ten Thousand Dollars.
ORIGIN I'M CRACKER SHOP
LOSS is FULLY COVERED BY IN
SURANCE-BREAD BAKERY WAS
GRATED.

A fierce and stubborn nre OF mys-
plant of the Richmond Baking COM
pany on South Fifth street at late
hour last night. w. H. Quigg, the
secretary and treasurer of the compa-
ny stated that the loss would be be-
tween eight and ten thousand dollars,
which was fully covered by insurance
The fire originated in the cracker
shop of the plant, which is located on
the second floor, and it is thought that
hours before finding their way to an
elevator shaft, thence into the attic
and out through the roof Patrolman
Henry Westenberg noticed smoke is
suing from the plant and after an in
veStigation saw that the factory was
afire and alarms were sent to all the
hose houses of the city. The rear
portion of the building in the neigh
borhood of the cracker shop was soon
mass of flames and when the win
dOws and doors were opened to the
building, the fire gained rapid head
way. 1t was thought for time that
the entire plant would be destroyed
with that of the Richmond Cream cem-
pany.
The bread shop of the plant was pro-
tected against the flames by a brick
partition, and suffered practically no
loss, but the cracker shop was gutted,
more than five hundred barrels of flour
being destroyed in addition to the dam
age done to the machinery on the Sec
ond floor. The stock in the packing
room, also on the second floor, was par
TALLY destroyed by fire, while those
portions not touched by the flames
were entirely ruined by the water and
smoke. The fancy packed goods on
the first floor were also ruined by the
water.
Bread baking will continue as usual
as the bake shop was unharmed.

TO COLLECT DATA
FOR AN ORDINANCE
Public Health Committee to
Commence at Once on I'M
portant Labors.
VIEWS OF COMMITTEEMAN
AVAIL ITSELF OF GOVERNMENT
INSPECTION WHICH COULD BE
SECURED GRATIS.

The committee on public health, to
which was referred the matter of the
discovery that meat from the carcass
es of diseased cattle was being sold
in the city of Richmond, as the result
of incomplete local inspection, will be
gin it's tour of the slaughter houses at
make a report at the next meeting of
the municipal lawmakers. One of the
members of this committee, in speak
ing of the matter said:
In framing an ordinance to furnish
a more adequate inspection of meat in
the city this committee intends to
protect the local butchers against farm
ers and butchers in nearby towns who
bring uninspected meat products to
the city TO compete with the local
dealers. Not all of the meat stuff
brought into Richmond is unhealth-
full, but a certain portion of it is.
Preservatives and coloring are used
to a great extent, two ingredients
which the government inspectors will
not permit. 1t will be the purpose OF
this committee to legislate against
these dangers.
Government Inspection.
I'VE believe that the simplest way
in which to protect the local butchers
and at the same time fully assure the
public that what they eat is pure, is to
have government inspection. In 9th
er cities the government has furnished
inspection free to cities which have
provided a central slaughtering place.
In all cases the slaughtering has not
been confined to one abattoir, but oft
en- to several slaughtering houses To-
Gated in certain district which the
city council has designated
When the slaughtering is all done
under the direction of the government
dealers to handle meat products which
bear the government stamp. This
done, farmers and small town butch
ers will be effectually prevented from
competing with pure meat. Every ef-
fort will be made to protect Richmond
butchers under the new inspection or
dinance. The trust meat which
come to Richmond in large quantities
from Chicago is healthful, for it is
government inspected, but it is not al
ways of good grade. Every effort
is now being made by the Chicago
packers to gain the local field. Many
butchers who take Chicago meat, say
that they can get it for less than
they can buy butchered meat in this
city. Some say that they can buy it
for much less than they could buy the
cattle on foot and prepare it.
Richmond bids fair to do a good
sized and Independent meat business
in the next few years, and the council
will do everything possible to build it
up"

When the case of Frank Hurshfield

wise he will have to stand trial on
charge of public indecency and the
police say that they have enough evil
dence against him to insure his in
