R[fORMATORY HAD
NO TERROR TO LAD
Said He Didn't Care If He Was
Sent There, So He Is
Ordered Sent.
JUDGE FOX SEES WARDS
FIVE YOUTHS MAKE REPORT TO-
HIM TODAY BUT HE IS ONLY
SATISFIED WITH THE RECORD
MADE BY ONE.

In the juvenile court this morning
five boys. all under the age of twelve
years, who were on probation reported
to Judge Fox. With one of the num-
Der Judge Fox was very much pleased
but what to do with the other four has
been and still is a perplexing question.
One of this number. Paul Muhl. was
sent to the Plainfield reformatory on
his own request.
The other three including Raymond
Gehring, Albert Dadisman and George
Brown, were excused until next Sat
urday with instructions to report to
Judge Fox at that time. Ivan Toney,
the fifth member of the party who re-
ported to the court this morning had
an excellent report and he was released
from probation.
The Null boy is but ten years old
and perhaps as incorrigible as any who
have appeared in the court for severa,
months, but he is as bright as he is
reported to be bad and much interest
was taken in him by the juvenile court
officials and attorneys He was always
ready with a prompt answer to all
questions and seemed to display no
concern at being sentenced to the re-
formatory. In fact Judge Fox was TAX
en- by surprise as after he had finish
ed telling what an awful place the
home for correction was in many re-
spects. and he had asked the boy
whether he wanted to go, young Muhl
replied that The didn't care" SO he
was ordered sent there. He will be
taken away Monday.
The Gehring, Dadisman and Brown
boys were in the court because they
had entered a new house near Thistle
thwaite's pond, chiseled their initials
in conspicuous places and stole some OF
the carpenters tools. Previous to this
the first two named were In the court
for stealing wheels. The boys were
accompanied by their parents and on
the earnest pleas of the latter. Judge
Fox extended the time OF probation for
one week. If the report next Saturday
is no better than it was today, the
three will join young Null.

On Monday and Tuesday, May and
10, the committee in charge OF the
cleaning movement with members OF
the Commercial club appointed to as
sist them, went about the city in car
riages and autos on bicycles and afoot
to judge of the cleanness of the 500
yards enrolled in the competition list
for prizes.
No one privileged to examine these
yards could doubt the genuineness of
the effort made by the citizens of
Richmond during the first week in
May for cleaner city. They feel that
much has been accomplished in the
way of emulation. in educating the
public taste for we'll kept lawns and
in cultivating proper spirit for clean
Illness and neatness.
While some yards were enrolled
where good order always exists. many
not ordinarily presentable gave evil

est districts of the city, with little to
encourage to keep clean, much pride
was shown-grounds adjoining junk
shops Or nefghboring dandelion lawns
were as carefully cleaned as if their
surroundings were inspiring
Neatness was the prevailing verdict
of the awarding committee and all are
expressing great encouragement and

TALE OF Two CITIES
Fort Wayne and Terre Haute
Are Great Rivals Over
School Children.
FORMER is STILL LEADER
palladium Specially


Indianapolis, Ind, May 14.-Fort
Wayne still has more school children.
according to the enumeration made
this year, than Terre Haute. Returns
received at the office OF the State
Board OF Education indicate that Fort
Wayne's representation on the board
will not be disturbed. The city school
superintendent OF the largest three
cities in the state are made members
Of the board by law, and Fort Wayne
is one of these cities. There was a
chance for a while that she might lose
out to Terre Haute, but this danger
passed year or two ago. This year
the figures show school population
in Fort Wayne of 1862, an increase
of 342 over the enumeration OF 1909.
Terre Haute this year has an enum-
Grafton OF 1900, an increase of 1900
over last year. II this ratio of gain
continues, however, Terre Haute may
yet wrest the membership of the board
from Fort Wayne.
Another menace to the position held
by Fort Wayne is seen in the possible
combination of Hammond. Gary, Whit
ing and East Chicago into one large
city. If this scheme ever carries
through it will make city with a
population of approximately 100000
and this will be the second largest
city in the state. This would give In
dianapolis, Whithamchigary and Ev-
ansville the three memberships on the
state board and would cut out Fort
Wayne. But it does not look like this
scheme will go through.
The school enumerations for the
Lake county cities this year are as
follows: East Chicago, 1885; Gary,
2,512; Hammond, $50; Whiting,
1,52S.

sons, Edwin and Isaac, farms in this
county. The sons in turn gave mort
cages which Rev. Jay cancelled in his
will. This. with gifts of money, makes
his requests to each son total to
$l5.50O. William c. Jay the grandson
and son of William Jay deceased, was
originally provided foS, the rev. Jay

time $4,000 to his grandson and 81.

Six fine cows belonging to E. L..

mad dog Thursday morning and in all
probability the animals will now have
to be killed.
Early Thursday morning Mr.. Com

bull dog was chasing them around the
barn yard by biting them on the rear
legs and nose. The dog was shot by
Mr.. Commons's son and DR.. T. Henry
Davis, health officer, was notified of
the circumstance. Although the Ca
nine gave no outward indications of
being afflicted with the rabies, the
suggestion was made by Dr. Davis
that the dogs head be sent to Indiana

to Mrs. Reeves about a year ago, and
is also claimed to be the same dog
that killed several chickens owned by
Patrolman Henry Vogelsong In the
south end some time ago.
Mr.. Commons Is keeping a close
watch over his cows for symptoms of
hydrophobia. Four are known to be
badly bitten and at least two others
and possibly three others are thought
to have been made the victims of the

that in event settlement was not made

praisers have visited Mr. Commons
but have not placed any value on the

Commons the COWS were among the
finest in his herd and the loss win

Deadlock Over the Appoint

JACK JOHNSON INSISTS ON JACK

WILL HAVE EDDIE SMITH OR
NO FIGHT.

San Francisco, May 1.-THE cham
pionship fight between Johnson and
Jeffries is in danger OF being declared
off. A deadlock over the selection of a
referee is so tight there Is little hope
OF a compromise. johnson is stub
born as mule and wants Jack Welsh.
Jeffries' representatives want Eddie
Smith and won't bulge an inch. JEFF
fries friends favor calling off the
match. claiming that he can make a
hundred thousand dollars clear during
the next year as he would be held
blameless. Johnson's admirers also
see big benefit to be gained from
other engagements. Promoter Tex
Richard admits the seriousness of the
situation which may plunge him into
financial ruin.
