But the race is not for him.

FATHER PUT ON STAND
John Moon Testifies in the
Lewis Case.

The trial of Jack Lewis Brandon
charged with assault on Edith Moon,
was continued this forenoon. Edith
Moon, John Moon, her father. and Har-
ry Gennett, vice president of the Starr
Piano company, were placed on the
stand today. The court adjourned at
noon until Monday.
Edith Moon and her father contra
dicted their own testimony of the pre-
vious trial. The girl made statements
which slightly contradicted the testi-
mony Of Chief Gormon. Moon said
that his daughter never told him of
the attempted assault until the affi-
davit had been filed against Lewis.
More than thirty jurors were exam
ined before a jury was procured. One
of the features of the examination of
the jurymen was that Harry Town
send was accepted after he had told
the court he had listened to the testi-
mony of the witnesses during the first
trial of the actor and had heard the
closing arguments Of the state and de-
PENDANTS attorney. The jury is COM
posed of Alvin E. Gully, Oscar Mash
meyer, Harry Townsend, Nathan Col
vim, T. w. Druley, w. c. Gates, ]. F.

trict in Chicago, Andrew Donovan,

ARE AGAIN IN COURT
Green Parks and Clara Saun-
ders Face Charges.

The case of Green Parks, colored
charged with malicious trespass, was
heard in police court this morning
A second hearing has been called for
Monday morning when more evidence
can be obtained which it is believed
may develop three other cases.
Eta and James Saunders, colored,
who filed the affidavit against Parks,
stated in court this morning that they
had repeatedly told Parks to stay
away from their home on John street
where he had been paying attention
to their daughter, Clara Saunders,
and that he insisted on returning, US
ually in an intoxicated condition.
while testifying, Saunders, who is
blind, became angered as he related
the alleged manner in which Parks
had annoyed them and struck at
Parks
In attempting to establish an alibi,
Parks disclosed circumstances which
led to the arrest Of the Saunders girl.
This gave grounds for three other
cases, the prosecutor says. Parks and
the girl were two Of the witnesses at
the Whalen murder case and are well
known in police circles.
The case will be continued in police
court on Monday morning.

Commercial Club Notes
By c. w. J.

Parcels Post will soon be establish,
ed and just in this connection let us
express the hope that our citizens
will use it for the betterment and not
to the injury of our city.
Before you decide to use it to buy
Of the Mail Order Houses in Chicago,
consider carefully whether it is best
for you to patronize the mail order
house or not.
No one can justly criticise another
for wishing to buy where it is the
cheapest, but do you buy cheaper of
the Mail Order House?
The writer bought an article of a To-
cal retail merchant for SIPS, a friend
sent to Chicago for a similar article
and paid S1.55 plus the freight and the
friend admits that his goods is much
inferior in quality to the article
bought here. Moreover the friend
bought his article sight and unseen
and waited two weeks for its arrival
while the writer made his choice from
an assortment and it was in his home
in 80 minutes afterward.
Again, is it cheaper to send your
money out of the city or buy goods so
that a part at least Of the money re-
mains with us?
Again. persons buying Of Mil Or
der Houses often buy In larger guam
titles, especially in groceries. Try your
local grocer on the same quantity and
you will find he will be willing TO
make a reduced price.
Again, in estimating the price we
pay our local merchants we should
deduct the amount they give to our
churches, Y. NJ c. A, schools, charity
lodges, and the score of
other movements for the good of the
community to which they are gener-
ously donating. We do not call on the
Mail Order Houses for any help in
these local affairs.
We believe a fair consideration of
this matter will convince you that it
is better to trade at home.

ROAD MATTERS ARE
DISCUSSED TO-DAY

City Engineer Charles recommended
that National avenue from Fifth street
to west line Of the corporation line be
accepted by the county commissioners
at their meeting this afternoon. The
road is being made under the three
mile road law. There are 1857 feet
OF roadway which was treated with a
coating of tarvia. The cost of apply
ing the tarvia was 81 per foot. The
road inside the corporation was ac-
cepte.
The cost will be $50, 900. The entire
road extends from Fifth street to the
west boundary line of Wayne town
ship
The asylum road will probably be
accepted by the commissioners though
a reserve will be held on the improve
ment.
The recommendation that improve
mcnts in the plumbing be made at the
county Jail and the County Infirmarv
were favorably received and granted
by the officials.
Samuel Mather residing on North
Tenth street north of the city request
ed that the commissioners make al
lowances for the cut which is being
made in front of his property which
extends 200 feet along the road front
Mr., Mather stated that the stations
and the stakes placed by the engineers
did not agree.

WANT PERSONS TO
| use PAROLES POST
New System, Effective jan
uary 1, Has Numer-
Gus Oddities.

The distance from Richmond to Gin
cinnati and to indianapolis is approx
mately the same. If you try to send d
package to either city under the par
cells post system, which begins opera
tons on January !, you will fnd that
Cincinnati is nearer to Richmond than
is Indianapolis.
Cincinnati Is in the first zone, and
the parcels post rate per pound Is six
cents. indianapolis is in the second
zone and the rate per pound is, proper
tionally higher.
The unit in which Richmond is To-
Gated Is numbered 1919 on the par
GELS post map. The greater part Of this
unit is in Hreble county. To determine
the boundaries of the units, the pos
tai authorities at Washington divided
the parallels and meridians running
through the United States. The re-
sulting blocks were numbered and al
towns and cities in the oblong belong
to the unit number which it bears.
The rate from Richmond to Terre
Haute is the same as the rate to Indi-
annapolis, as Terre Haute in in the
same zone in which indianapolis is
found.
One of the freak things noticed on
the map is that the state Of Kentucky
is in five zones, the only state having
this distinction, according to the clerk
in the local post office.
The local postal authorities are anx-
iously awaiting the opening of the SER
vice. They say that they want persons
that the clerks may see how the new
department works.

JACK JOHNSON HAS
THEM ALL WORRIED
(National News Association

National News Association
CHICAGO. Dec. 2S.-The advertis-
ed sale of the Judson G. Sherman prop
erty at Lake Geneva on which Jack
Johnson, the negro prizefighter has an
option will not take place in the rooms
of the Chicago Real Estate Board as
advertised. The board asserted the
sale looked queer" and refused to per-
nit it in the board rooms.
Johnson announced vigorously that
he intended TO make his sumemr home
at Lake Geneva, Chicago millionaire
colony, and that he intended to pro-
mote a negro pleasure club in the
property. The millionaires protested.
Then the sale was advertised so the
millionaires might bid in the property
if they didn't want the negroes to
have it.
Members of the Lake Geneva colony
also own property adjoining the Sher-
man place asserted they would not bid
for it even if an auction was arrang-
ed.

264 BUILDING PERMITS
Issued During Year-Build-
ing Cost $425,OOO.

I Although the total cost of building
in Richmond for the year has not
equalled that of 1911, the building per
nit records in the office of City Con-
troller McMahan show that a large
amount of building was done during
1912
The records show that 1926 69 was
placed in the construction of new
residences, factories or office build
ings and in the improvement of old
buildings. Last year the amount spent
in this manner. as shown by the re-
cords was more than 100000.
1t is believed that a larger number
of residence buildings were built this
year than last and that fewer building
permits were issued for office build
ings or factories.
The total number of permits issued
by Controller McMahan was 264. The
largest permit was issued for the new
ST Andrews school building. This was
for $4,000. Several were issued for
from $4,000 to $4,000.

Sending Wedding Gifts,

A gift to a prospective bride must
always be sent to her individually,
whether she is personally known to
where the bridegroom is a friend. but
the girl he is to marry not known. If
there is silver and 1t is marked II
should be with the name or initials
of the bride to be. Table or bed linen,
an embroidered centerpiece or any
thing that has the name must be In
her name.
There is a reason for these laws.
The old saying of many a slip 'twixt
the cup and the lip" applies. Some
thing may happen to prevent the mar
riage. Death or even a misunderstand-
ing that cannot be Strengthened may
mean that the marriage will never
take place. Then would come the diff
fculty of the bride elect having as
sumed beforehand a name that is not
legiimately hers.
In sending a gift the donors card
without any writing at all is inclosed
with the present: if sent after mar
riage, a short note of congratulations
may accompany the same. Husband
and wife may send a gift jointly: then
the calling card must have Mr.. and
Mrs" on it. but always the gift is
sent to the bride TO be.
OF course in a note of congratula-
ton The maine of the bridegroom must
be included, aud the more simple and
friendly such notes are the better.
