THINGS OF VALUE
Police are Hunting for A. A.
Smith Who is Thought to
be at Dayton, O.
HE ROBBED DR.. SIMMONS
WORKED IN HIS STORE AS A
WATCH AND CLOCK SMITH AND
WAS GOOD WORKMAN, BUT HAD
LONG FINGERS.

The local police have asked the Day
ton authorities to arrest A. A. Smith,
a splendid watch and clock smith, but
one whose fingers are long. Smith
worked two days at the store of DR..
Simmons, $40 Main street and when
he left, he took along enough valu-
ables to pay for work he might have
done for several weeks.
Smith came to Richmond last week
and on Tuesday went to work for DR..
Simmons, who runs the Success Loan
in connection with it. Smith was an
expert workman, according to DR..
Simmons, and when he offered to g-,
in partnership, DIR. Simmons readily
assented to the arrangement. Smith
said that he had a number of tools in
Cincinnati which he would go after.
He left Thursday, presumably for Gin
cinnati, but after his departure, DR..
Simmons discovered that an SIS gold
ring was missing, several watches,
some watch crystals and a pair of
rubber arctics, which were nearly new
Mrs. Mack, who clerks for Dr. Sim
mons, was at Dayton Sunday and saw
Smith there. On coming home she
reported the fact to Dr. Simmons who
tried to get a warrant from Prosecut-
or Jessup on Monday, but failed to do
SO and went to Dayton without it. He
located his man, but the Dayton po-
lice would make no arrest unless they
were shown warrant for the man.
DR.. Simmons returned here and yes
terday he secured warrant for Smith
and the Dayton police were notified to
place Smith under arrest
Smith, while here, stopped at the
Phillips house, on North Sixth street,
but there he paid his bill in full.

They Depend on Lower House
of Legislature to Kill the
$1,000 License Bill.
ARE THANKFUL TO PROHIS
1T is SAID THAT THE INCREASED
LICENSE WOULD DRIVE HALF
OF THE SALOONS IN RICHMOND
OUT OF BUSINESS.

The passage by the. senate Of the
bill providing for $1,000 liquor Ii
cense, was the principal topic of con
versation among the local saloon men
yesterday, and many of them were
subjected to a ''joshing'' at the hands
of their patrons. The impression
seemed to prevail, however, that a sub.
stantial majority will be found voting
against the measure when it is called
up for passage in the house.
Il am not at all alarmed over the
situation" said q Main street liquor
dealer last evening. There is not
the slightest danger that this bill will
get through the house. The saloon men
of the state, or at least those who have
been actively engaged in the fight
against the high license agitation have
known exactly where they were at in
this matter long before the general as
sembly got together. There are
enough members of both parties in
the house pledged against this meas
ure to insure it's defeat
This liquor man admitted that of
the II saloons in Richmond, not more
than half of them would be able to
continue in business under high IL
cense. He stated that as a matter of
fact great many of them were hav-
ing rather hard time to get along
under the present law. In conclusion
he said with a laugh, that the liquor
dealers should extend the temperance
people of Indiana a vote of thanks for
the aid that they had been giving in
the fight against a high license.

TO TRY STEEL CROSST|ES
PLANS OF THE PANHANDLE
Several Hundred Will be Used on
Richmond and indianapolis Divis-
ions Of Road as Experiment-Are
Filled with Cement.

1t is very probable that the Pennsyl-
vania railroad will place steel cross
ties on. all divisions of the road, as
soon as the old wooden ties become
rotten and useless. According to the
statement of railroader in the Penn
sylvania offices yesterday, good cedar
ties are scarce and owing TO the great
demand for them at the present time
it is almost impossible for all the rail-
roads of the country to get ties enough
to keep their roads in tip top shape.
To solve the cross tie famine the
officials of the road have had 5000
steel crossties, filled with cement, con-
structed as an experiment, and in case
they fill the ideas of the officials they
will be used all over the system. 1t
is probable, according to the state
ments of the officials, that several
hundred ties will be sent TO Richmond
for use on the Richmond and Indianap-
oils divisions They will arrive here
in the course of the next few weeks

COMPLETE BLOCK SYSTEM
SOON TO BE INSTALLED
Richmond and Louisville Divisions of
the Panhandle to be Improved to
Correspond With the Rest of the
System.

The announcement has been receiv.
ed in the Richmond offices that the
Pennsylvania will soon complete the
block system upon the Richmond di-
vision, along with the unfinished por-
tions of the Louisville division. Both
divisions are tho only ones along
the entire Pennsylvania system which
do not have complete block systems,
blocks being installed at the present
time only at the most dangerous por-
tions of the road. When completed
the Pennsylvania will then have a
complete block system which will
represent the expenditure of many
thousands of dollars.
According to the statement from
the superintendent office at the sta
ton yesterday the complete block sys-
tenn will be installed just as soon as
the materials used are available
Already complete block systems
have been installed on the Indianapo-
lis and Pittsburg divisions and they
were largely responsible fer the quick
moving of trains during the recent
troubles all along the line, due TO ad-
verse weather conditions. 1t was a
noticeable fact that at that time all
trains on the Richmond division en-
tering Richmond were behind sched-
ule time.

Stand in Own Behalf.
PROTESTS HIS INNOCENCE
ATTORNEY DENoUNcES MRS.
SIMPSON AS CREATURE WHO
is UNWORTHY TO BE CALLED
WOMAN.
Publishers Press.1


New York, Feb, 5.-Dr. James w.
trial at Riverhead, l.. L., for the muir
der of his father-in-law, BARLEY L.
Horner, at their home in Northport
in 1905, today took the witness stand
in his own behalf and calmly but
Hnsq1ireeally protested his innocence
of the crime. He asserted that the
killing was accidental, denied pre-
meditation and denounced his wife
who testified against him as falsi-
fer in certain vital testimony which
she had given. His hearing through
out was that of man confident of
his case.
When court convened Lawyer Man.
ton, counsel for Simpson, moved for
the dismissal of the indictment on
the grounds that the prosecution had
procured no evidence to show that
the shooting was not accidental, that
no motive for the murder had been
shown, and no proof that the victim
had been threatened by the son-in-law
Judge Kelley denied the motion.
In his opening address for the de-
fense Mr.. Manton promised to prove
that the shooting was accidental; de-
nounced Mrs. Simpson as a creature
unworthy to be called woman and
declared that her sworn statement on
the stand that, just previous to the
shooting, Simpson looked into the
shotgun to see if it was loaded, was
absolutely false.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 5. (Spl)-
The contention of the state today in

that the company's officers-A NJ

as executive officers, and that, there

tors. The compensation each receiv-
ed as executive committeeman was
charged up to the account of en-
ployes' salaries and was so reported
to the auditor of state in the annual
statements filed by the company. The
compensation given the officers for
executive committeemen's services
was first $4,000 year; then ii was in
cluded in the salaries paid the Off
GERS as officers and was not named in
specific amounts.
1t was in this connection that it had
previously been intimated by James
W. Noel, who is conducting the exami-
walton for the state, that the officers
of the insurance company had made
false statements to the auditor The
State Life officers, however. insisted
that the duties of the executive COM

from the duties performed by the
same men as officers.
Bylaws Are Read.
The reading of the bylaws became
necessary, and it was found that these
provided that the president. for in

executive committee and preside over
its meetings; and that the secretary
should, in addition to specific duties
perform such duties as the board OF

might prescribe.

BROOKLET FOUND
WAY INTO COURT
Of Its Water, Horses Would

PEBBLES AND BUCKSHOT
FARMER DAVIS THREW THE
STONES AND FARMER STEMPLE
THREATENED TO USE THE
SHOT AND WAS FINED.

A tiny brooklet pursues its way
placidly between the farms of Charles
Stemple and Floyd Davis, two miles
southeast of the city, and when it is
not covered with a coating of ice. a
flock of ducks belonging to the form
er, spend much time in gliding about
in its clear and sparkling waters. Da-
Wis waters his horses in this stream,
and for some unaccountable reason
these animals entertain a decidedly
bitter feeling for the ducks, and abso-
lutely refuse to drink when they tres
pass on the Davis side of the stream.
At least that is what Mr.. Davis told
Judge Converse yesterday morning
when he appeared in the city court as
prosecuting witness against his neigh
Dor.
Davis said that he threw pebbles at
the ducks in order to scare them away,
and Stemple appeared on the scene
with a shot gun, threatening TO FILL
him full of buckshot"
Stemple admitted that the specta-
Gle of Davis stoning his ducks made
him very sore but he said that the
gun play" was just bluff, and that
he had no intention of shooting his
neighbor.
After hearing all the evidence the
court assessed fine of 81 and costs
