The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1909-01-25

pOrterS OF the sunday base Oall Dill
is that it will afford the working peo-
pie a chance to see base ball games
on Sunday who cannot go on any 9th
er day in the week. 1t is to meet this
argument that the ministers are back
ing the Saturday half holiday PROPOSE
ton. And it seems to be taking"
with some of the members. for there
is good deal of talk about it.
Let the Towns Decide.
Senator Shafer, of Grant county.
has another idea on this subject, and
that is that he would have the law
so amended as to allow each city or
town to decide for itself whether it
wishes Sunday base ball or not. He
believes that each city Or town should
have an election and let the people
vote on the subject, just the same as
they are now permitted to vote On the
question of whether they shall have
saloons or not. But he has no inten-
ton OF introducing any bill of that
kind. The house committee on cities
and towns will have meeting tonight
for the purpose of giving both sides
an opportunity to present their argu-
ments of the Sunday base ball bill It
is believed the Committee will come
in tomorrow morning with a favorable
report On the bill and that the bill will
pass the house the last of this week.
Then it will go to the senate, where it
is believed it will have hard time to
get through.

LEST WE FORGET"
Sundays Snowstorm Demonstrate:
That King Winter Still Reisns.

After making several ineffectual at
tempts at snowstorms. each of which
was washed away by a following rain
it would seem that with Sunday s
nor'ea ster winter had come to stay
and that the season had been ushered
in with all due ceremony. That the
snow would come had been the fervent
wish Of almost everybody in the city
for a month past and with the existing
conditions the wish has surely been
granted.
The storm had been brewing for sew
eral days but it was not until yester-
day morning that it succeeded in mus
terinS its forces and getting down to
business. The day opened with a high
wind which had been blowing since
soon after midnight Saturday, but
with the exception of Il few scattering
flakes the storm did not break until
about II o'clock in the forenoon. When
it did come however it developed in
mercy so rapidly that within a short
time it had assumed almost blizzard
proportions.
The wind which accompanied the
storm gave to it it's formidable feature
piling the snow into drifts in some
places and blowing it clean from the
ground in others, rendering pedestria-
ism something of an uncertainty as
well as a discomfort, but coming Sum-
day as it did the storm did not catch
many people out and the greater ma
iOrty Of Augusta citizens were spared
the Inconvenience of getting out into it,
One of the first places on which the
storm got it's grip WAS the line of the
Lewiston, Augusta &: WaterVillc Street
Railway, along which the wind piled
up the drifts in d way that bothered
the cars Il little at first. but more later
especially those on the Lewiston and
Watervillc run, which in turn DELAYED
those on the local runs. The greater
portion of the trouble was on the Lew
iston end of the run and up to O'Clock
last evening these cars had lost one
hour At that hour they We're started
again on time and maintained service
until taken off for the night.
Trains on the Maine Central also had
their troubles, although those from the
east felt the effects of the storm less
than did those eaStbOund Train II
from Boston was delayed by high wa
GER in Massachusetts. Although a
train made up in Portland went over
the line on lis time it was not until
this morning that the Boston train
came through. Other trains from the
west We're also DELAYED

Dead in His Room.

Boston. Dec. 26.-What appears to have
been a case of accidental asphyxiation by
gas and suicide following pleasant
Christmas eve festivities occurred at So
Elmo street, Dorchester, sometime be-
tween and yesterday morning.
Eric Hansen. aged 25, Swede and a
boarder at the house, was found with his
face over a gas tube, from which gas was
pouring. His sweetheart, Miss Kerstine
Flyg, q visitor, was found dying on a cot
in the room.
1t is believed by the police that the girl
tainted while in Hansens room, and he
being unable to revive her and fearing
the consequences of her being found dead
in his room. turned on the gas and COM
mitted suicide, the girl dying from the eff
fects of the gas.
That there was no other cause for the
suicide and that there was no suicide
pact, was evidenced by the fact that the
young people enjoyed themselves the
night before, gave presents to each other
and made plans for Christmas day pleas.
