DETACHED TICKETS
 CAUSE TROUBLE

St Joseph, Mo-, October 5.--The police force of the city was called out tonight to quell a riot at Fifth and Edmond streets, which arose over an order issued to street car conductors not to accept tickets detached from books. For two hours the corner was jammed by persons who were trying to ride on street cars and pay their fare with detached tickets. The conductors, aided by extra help,
 were ejecting the patrons whenever they refused to get off. The police did not interfere until fighting started when they arrested all concerned. More than {. dozen arrests were made. c. l.. McPhale of Leavenworth was seriously injured when a conductor threw him from q car. His head struck the pavement Po- lice cleared the streets and the crowd dispersed. The company then rescinded Its order. The trouble arose over the fact that newsboys were selling the street car tickets with papers. To break up the vending the company issued an order that the tickets would only be ec- cepted when not detached from the books.

WHITMAN SETS TRAP;
 CATCH BRIBETAKERS

New York, October 5.-District Attor- ney Whitman would neither affirm nor deny report circulated here tonight that he had set trap to catch several mem bers of the state legislature who, it was charged. had offered to sell their votes in favor of the Gittins racing bill for $1OO0 each. The Gittens bill repeals the law making directors of racing asso- citations personally liable for gambling done on their premises. Is does not ap- pear that the racing interests had any knowledge of the alleged negotiations.
 Three of the assemblymen described in the report were said to be republicans and three democrats. The men are said according to the report, to have entered into negotiations with alleged represen- tatives of the racing interests, but later became alarmed when they apparently heard that the district attorney was set ting trap for them and declined to consumnate the transaction
 Mr. Whitman said tonight he had told nobody of the story and that it had not been given out from the district attor- ney's office

CHAL0NER MAKES
 UGLY CHARGES Says Relatives "RailrOaded" Him to the Insane
 Asylum

Charlottesville, W. Va, October D. members of his own family, the Chal- oners of New York, today marked the continuation of John Armstrong Chal- oner's deposition in his suit for the re- covery of s1,50oO00 held for him by a courts committee in New York on the ground that he is insane.
 Chaloner declared that his relatives had him committed to Bloomingdale asylum because they had learned that he had ignored his brothers and sisters in his will and because he had in his possession facts that would be very damaging to Lewis Morris Rutherford and others. He said he had made q criminal charge against Rutherford telling him he would watch him and Eff he is caught we will land him in Sing Sing" Describing how he was en- trapped, Chaloner said he was taken to New York by the late Stanford White on the pretext that he was to have rest and recreation and treatment by an oculist The "oculist," he declared turned out to be pr. Moses A. Star, an alienist. Henry Lewis Morris, former lawyer and manager of the Chaloner estate, was a director of the Blooming dale asylum. So, he said, packing him off to Bloomingdaie was easy. Under the so-called insanity laws of New York;" Chaloner stated. too, that Morris was "so situated that his (Chal- oner's) confinement was very conven- ient."
 Chaloner will next go into his ex- periences at Blooming gdale and escape from the asylum to Virginia. Ii prob ably will take two or three days long CT to complete his story. He is anx- ious to have his case ready as soon as possible as it is expected to be reached on the docke. of the United States circuit court for southern New York not later than January l.

W0man's Department

WOman's Department 1 The woman's department on the second floor of the main building is veritable blower of beauty" The several booths are tastefullys arranged and artistically decorated. Each one is filled with beau | tiful specimens of woman's art and skill and industry The individual booths truly represent the work of mothers hands. brodery fruit, choice cooking, fancy em- broidery and plain sewing all are elo- quent testimonials of the skill and in- dustry of the hand that rules the world.
 The minuture bazaars of the church so- cietes are also testimonials to the untir- of the church.
 The art exhibit and the splendid ex- hibits Of the Birmingham and Bessemer public schools make the woman's depart ment one of the best, most interesting and instructive exhibits in the fair. To Mrs. John B. Reid, superintendent of this department is due full measure of praise for she has worked unceasingly for weeks to get the exhibit together and 
 completed before the gates of the fair were opened.
 The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company has a splendid exhibit, it is ,he best of it's kind ever shown in the south, huge blocks of iron ore, limestone, coal and coke represent the raw material that is so abundant in the state while samples of semi-finished and finished pro- ducts are shown by ingot, billet, slab, bar rod and rail.
 The individual exhibits are of the fin est character and represent every branch of the industrial and business world. Each one is fully worthy of mention and could well be explained in detail.
 The live stock exhibit and model dairy barn are attracting much attention both from the splendid quality, and large num- Der of prize winning stock on exhibition some of the finest birds in the south.
 The free attractions are not only the most numerous, but are the best that has eyer been shown in the south Four teen free acts, every one a feature, are shown twice daily in front of the grand stand where large stage and two rings have been constructed for the perform ance.
 Gus Henderson is the official announcer and in addition does turn himself that is unique and amusing. The attend ance last last night was an evidence that the interest in the State Fair is greater than ever and that all records for attend ance will be smashed

Today is "woman's day" at the Ala day. Atlanta day. Pensacola day, and Chattanooga day.
 The finishing touches have been ap- piled and the fair is ready for the throngs of pleasure. seekers who are in the city.
 The opening day was all that could have been desired, the opening exer- cises were in keeping with the occa- sion and long before the noon hour the throngs had began to arrive.
 The main buildings and booths pres ent an attractive appearance, being gaily decorated in national colors and flags and bunting galore. The grounds are kept well sprink1ed and the wei fare of patrons given due consider atiop.
 The refreshment stands are numer- ous and all kinds of tempting viands are offered to appease the appetite, from the home cooking of the lunch counters of the several church societies
 
 lunch stand. Candy booths, ice cream gardens, dope" stands, peanut and popcorn machines are in evidence ev- anywhere and souvenir and novelty counters are in every nook and cor ner
 The midway or plaza" consists of 27 high class shows that line both sides of the driveway beyond the main exhibit hall.
 The aggregation is known as the Greater United shows and are consid- cred the very best on the fair circuit. They will be open from l o'clock to II with a short intermission for sup per. The plaza is the place for fun and frolic and genuine enjoyment.
 In the agricultural building there is an astounding array of products of the soil of Alabama, from the rich fertile valley of the er Tennessee to the lonely shores of Baldwin county; from the Chattahoochee to the border line Of Mississippi. Diversity is marked in ev- cry county exhibit. While there are some excellent specimens of individual crops, the spectator is visibly impressed with the great diversity of the crops of the state To enumerate them hero or elsewhere would be an enormous task.

SPORT NOTES

California legislators are turning
their attention to boxing once more
and an effort is being made to kill
the sport along the Coast. The lead
ing sporting writer's of the coast
have taken up the question and are
submitting some much needed re-
forms in an effort to placate those
who are attacking the sport. 1t is
suggested that all bouts be limited
to twenty rounds; that the size of
the gloves be increased from five
ounces to seven ounces; and that all
rings be padded to a depth Of three
inches. These are suggestions which
will carry considerable weight with
the Legislators and it will not be sur
prising to find that instead of con.
demning the game the Legislature will
pass a bill enforcing these conditions,
as we'll as others which are now
under discussion.
