JUSTICE HANSON
UNIQUE OFFICER
Dalton Township Officials
Term Is Up But He
Still Serves.
HAS NEVER MADE REPORT
THIS BECAUSE FEES COLLECT
Ed NEVER AMOUNTED Tc
THREE TIMES As MUCH As HIS
MILEAGE WOULD De.
HAS NEVER MADE REPORT

In Zimri Hanson, Of Dalton township
Wayne county has a justice Of the
peace who probably holds the most
unique record claimed by any jusaice
in the state. He has been In ONCE
since 1895. He has been elected twice
the last time in 1903. He has held
ofice since the expiration Of his last
four year term. because of the con-
struction Of the law, which permits a
justice to retain ofhcc until his sue
cessor Is elected and qualified.
During Hanson's career as justice,
he has never made report Of the fees
he has collected. The law provides
that justice shall make a report as
soon as the fines he has assessed
amount to three times the mileage he
would be allowed. He is supposed to
make written reports II the fines have
not amounted to this much. Hanson
is said to have IS he has collected. but
as this is not three times his mileage
he has never come to the courthouse
to make a report and never has re-
turned one in writing.

Police Told They Break Up
Meetings.

Complaint has been made to the
police by men and women engaged In
mission work at the corner of Main

interrupt the meetings. Disgraceful
antics of various sorts have been re
sorted to by the boys in molesting the
worshippers. While a policeman Is on
guard the boys behave quite decently
but as soon as the copper turns his
back they begin again in their pranks
The youths, some Of whom are eigh'

bystanders who set up loud outlaws

Directors Of the Organization
Plan the Most Extensive
System of Advertising Ever
Attempted Here.
NEWS BUREAU WILL
BE A NEW FEATURE
Directors Are Considering a
N, Plan to Invite Editors Here
To Encourage Enlargement
OF the Affair.

The directors of the Richmond fall
festival, held in this city the first part
of October, have decided on q publi-
city and advertising campaign that Is
absolutely unique for this section of
the country, although it has been used
with great success by many of the en-
terprising cities west of the Missis-
sippi river.
The method employed last year of
posting bills throughout the contrib
utary territory in Eastern Indiana and
Western Ohio, and also inserting paid
advertisements In the various news
papers In these districts, will also be
employed again this year, but the new
feature of the great advertising cam
paign will be the establishment of a
news service. copied after such great
news distributing agencies as the
Hearst Service and the Associated
Press. which will distribute to the
newspapers in the fall festival belt
valuable news, of interest to the read
ers Of the various papers, concerning
Richmond. Wayne county, the fall
festival and. also, news which will be
OF special interest to newspaper pat
rons outside Of Wayne county.
VIII Draw Crowds.
This news bureau viii be operated
by three local newspaper men and the
fruits Of the articles they will write, 1t
Ii anticipated, such crowds Of out Of
town people ~ this city has never be-
fore laid eyes upon.
This new publicity system is really
the first step in the direction Of max.
Ing the annual Richmond fall festival,
not only q Richmond and Wayne coun.
ty event. but an event which the peo-
pie Of neighboring counties in Eastern
Indiana and Western Ohio can claim
as their own, AZ much as Wayne coun.
ty people can. It is argued that such
events are benefits to all the localities
referred to and that. inasmuch az
Richmond Is the largest city in the
district embraced, the logical place to
hold such festivals would be this city
With the enlarging Of the zone of the
fall festival, residents Of neighborine
counties would, Of course. be eligible
to compete In the many prizes offer
ed.
One plan the board Of directors has
under consideration Is the issuing Of
invitations to all the editors of pa
pers In the contributary territory tc
attend the fall festival one day. at the
expense Of the festival organization
BY this plan the editors could be
shown the importance Of the event
how It could, by enlargement. be di
rect benefit to the communities In
which they reside. and encourage
them to lend assistance to the move
ment.

A SENSATION IS
EXPLODED TODAY
Charges Against Andrew N.
Hoover, Well Known Farm
er, Are Dismissed.
PROSECUTOR HAS DOUBTS
HE BELIEVES PRosEcUTiNG WIT
NESS, IDA GLEASON, HAD An
ULTERioR MOTIVE IN FILING
THE CHARGES.
PROSECUTOR HAS DOUBTS

Upon the motion of the prosecuting
attorney, the case Of the state ex rel
Ida Gleason VS.. Andrew NJ. Hoover.
was dismissed In circuit court this
morning. This brings to an end one
of the most sensational cases of its
kind that has been fled in local courts
In recent years. The woman charged
Hoover. who is a prominent farmer res
siding north of the city, with being
the father OF an unborn child. In his
motion to dismiss the case. the prose
cutor states the relatrix has refused to
verify statement she had previously
made to him and that he does not now
believe her condition to be such as she
represented.
The states attorney has intimated
he believes the woman had an ulterio1
motive In bringing her proceedings
At first the prosecutor believed the
story, but he has now repudiated the
woman's claims and removes from
Hoover all charges of an odious nature
He says there is no material evidence
now to be had to prove the facts SCI
forth in the original complaint.
What She Represented.
When the case was filed, the Gleason
woman represented to the prosecutor
she was in serious condition as the
result of too intimate relations with
Hoover. The matter was taken into
a Justices court and settlement at
tempted. Hoover refused to meet the
woman's terms, although it is alleged
he at one time made her an offer oi
money. The matter then was brough,
to the attention of the circuit court.
It was but short time following
the disclosures in the case. Hoover's
wife sued him for divorce. She charg
ed him with misconduct and the name
Of the Gleason woman was used as :
paramour. It was claimed he was in
discreet in his expenditure of money
which was wasted in excesses. But &
short time afterward, the Hoovers be-
came reconciled The divorce com,
plant was withdrawn and the couple
took up married life again. The pro
secutor affects to be disgusted with
the termination of the case.

Invitation to Speak at the
Event Has Been Extended
Herbert Moniger, Cincin-
natl, a Noted Worker.

The Wayne county Sunday School
Association will not have the big rally
one day during the local Chautauqua.
as proposed. Plans for holding a Cd
gantic picnic preceded by an immense
parade through the business districts
of the city, have been abandoned.
Inasmuch as the Methodists OF
Wayne county will celebrate the os0-
tennial anniversary of the establish
ment of the creed In this county, dur
ing the same week that 1t was propos-
ed to have the big Sunday school rally.
the Chautauqua ohicisls were Of the
opinion that it would not be q wise
policy to hold two big religious gather
ings SO close together, SO 1t was sug-
gested that Sunday school feature and
the Methodist centennial celebration
both be held on the same day.
To Secure Speaker.
This decision made It necessary for
the Sunday School Association ofncers
to abandon all plans for making the
rally an elaborate event. 1t is now
planned to devote one hour. on the
morning Of August 10, at the Chautau.
qua grounds. to the interests Of the
Sunday schools Of the county. This
hour will be practically taken up by an
address by some prominent Sunday
school worker, probably Herbert Moni'
ger Of Cincinnati, editor of the Chris
tian Publishing company.
The speakers committee Of the Sun.
day School Association met last even
ing and decided to invite Mr. Monigel
to speak here. This morning q com
munication was sent to him, but up tc
the present time no word has been re
ceived from him
The Rev. T. ]. Graham, president oi
the Association. stated this morning
that all the Sunday school children ir
the county would be invited to attend
the rally, but that he did not antici.
pate a very large crowd. owing to ths
fact that there was not enough induce
ments offered to bring the children tt
the city. The young children would
not care much to sit for one hour and
listen to an address on Sunday schoo
work." he remarked.

pany as. strenuously - they say they
will. 1t Is quite probable that the re-
suit OF the fight win be the replacing
