Diegle Immediately made an appiica-
ton for stay of execution, which was
granted by Judge Kinkead and he will
not be compelled to begin his term be-

A HEAVY SCHEDULE
FOR EARLHAM TEAM
Will Meet Four Best Second
airy Schools of State
and u. of G.. !,

Earlham football prospects for the
approaching season are the brightest
they have been for several seasons,
is the prediction of Coach Thistle
thwaite and others connected with the
college athletics.
With practically all of last years
line back in the harness and several
big huskies in addition, it is certain
that the forward positions will be we'll
filled. Reagan, the speedy quarter
back and basketball captain, will be
in his old place, but he will probably
be the only one of last years backs
in the field.
Coach Thistlethwaite> and Captain
Highlands are highly elated over the
fact that Guyer, the old Richmond star
and half-back in '06 and 'O7, will re-
turn. Guyer was one of the strongest
line buckers in the state those two
years and his return means much to
the local team.
OF the others entering the most
promising are Bogue the Whittier star
of last year and one of the best play
ers of lower California, and Brownell
these men are strongly built and
speedy. Each has run the hundred
yards under ten and two-fifths, and
can boot the oval over sixty yards.
This gives Earlham three crack
punters.
The football schedule is the hardest
that has been attempted for several
years. All the first class colleges of
the state will be met besides three of
the Ohio institutions.
One of the features of the season
will be the initial appearance of Gin
cinnati university on the local grid
| iron. Butler will be the other leading
attraction.
Coach Thistlethwaite made every ef-
| fort possible to get Wabash to come to
Richmond, but their management
would play the game at no other place
! than Charlottesville, so rather than
that place.
| AS Earlham opens a week later than
the other colleges of the state she
will be somewhat handicapped in the
early season. Despite this fact Earl
ham students are predicting a cham
| pionship team.
| Earlham Schedule:
| Oct. 7-Moores Hill at Richmond.
| Oct 14-Cincinnati University at
Richmond.
Oct. 21-Rose Poly at Terre Haute.
| Oct. 2S-Wilmington at Wilmington
| Nov. Wabash at Charlottesville.

PLAN IMPROVEMENT
OF LOCAL BRIDGE

Bridge Engineer Jack Mueller has
been ordered by the board of county
commissioners to make a careful in
5pection of the Main street bridge and
if necessary employ an expert consult
ing engineer. The bridge is in such a

condemned, though not now regarded
as dangerous. In order to repaid
whatever damage there may be, the
commissioners are going to have a
careful examination made and upon re-
port of Engineer Mueller will deter
mine it's improvement.
Plans will be made by the engineer
Tor the south side bridge. There are
several proposed locations and plans
md specifications will be made of
each in order to determine which will

Administration Republicans
Believe that a Progressive
Should Be on the National
Ticket in 1912.
RECORD AS SENATOR
MADE HIM POPULAR
AS He Is a Defender of Reel
procity, He and Taft, Par
tvs First Choice, Would
Make Good Campaign.
(National News Association

WASHINGTON, Sept. s.-Adminis-
tration Republicans who long ago de-
cided it would be good politics to
nominate a Progressive Republican
for vice president are considering the
name of ex-senator Beveridge. Here
tofore the prize has been dangled be-
fore Senator Cummins and Senator
Borah, both Progressives. But the
hostile attitude of these senators to-
ward Canadian reciprocity raised a
question as to their availability in a
campaign in which Canadian reciproc-
jty will be an issue, and must be de-
tended
Senator Norris Brown of Nebras-
ka is another name mentioned. Many
inquiries have been propounded to In
diana friends of Beveridge in this city
in the last few days as to whether he
would probably consider such sug-
gestion. No one is prepared to speak
for him in his absence.
Reciprocity an Issue.
Beveridge was one of the earliest
advocates of Canadian reciprocity and
has been one of it's sturdiest defend
ers. He could have no apologies to
make on the stump as a candidate
for vice president. His attitude has
been consistent and in campaign in
which the ticket would be Taft and
Beveridge, the former senator from
Indiana could appeal to the people tC
uphold Canadian reciprocity. The
nominee for vice president on the
ticket with Taft must be a man capa
BILE of making powerful popular
speech-making campaign before the
people.
No man, it is conceded here, is Bev
eridge's superior in his capacity tc
make such campaign and he has
few equals. Just how the former In
diana senator will view the latest
manifestations Of the political Greeks
bearing gifts" remains to be seen
His arrival here is awaited with inter
est as it is expected it will shed ligh
on many things.

MONDAY LAST DAY
FOR VEHICLE TAX

Beginning Monday, all vehicle own
ers who appear on the streets without
their horse or conveyance properly
tagged will be arrested. The police
were so instructed today by Mayor
Zimmerman. Furthermore the mayor
promises that no one will have his
fine RENTED, no matter what his ex-
cuse may be nor how good it may ap-
pear. The city needs the revenue de-
rived from this special tax, and the
administration proposes to collect it.
The vehicle owners are not coming
across this year as they did last year.
There does not seem to be any con-
certed action against paying the tax.
but nevertheless, even If the vehicle
owners are not organized, the city d
not getting the revenue which it
should, the officials declare.
