those who gave and for those who re-

menced gathering at the children Is
playground, at the corner of Smith and
Beretania street, where already there
were busy workers unpacking boxes,
setting up tables, decorating a real
Christmas tree and otherwise prepar-
ing for the deluge. The Hawaiian band,
led by Captain Berger, alternated in
supplying music with Kaai s combined
orchestra, the numbers of the latter
grouped about the glistening Christmas
tree. Forty Boy Scouts, headed by
Commissioner Wilder, busted themselves
in guarding the lines drawn to hold
back spectators and in taking charge
of the children as they streamed into
the grounds and lining these up in
great serpentine rows the length of the
field, and it was no easy task to keep
the excited children in check when they
could see waiting for them the twelve
tables piled high with all the samples
from Santa Claus warehouse.
Overhead, from a clear blue sky, the
y Christmas sun smiled kindly, bringing
out to the best advantage the glitter
of the tinsels on the Tree, Frightening
the soft white of the gowns worn by

pleasure in the event of which they
had a part; rejecting the joys of anti

of happy little faces; and adding its
part to the riot of color throughout the

FINISH PROGRAM
FOR CHAUTAUQUA
1t Will Be One of the Most
Complete Ever Given
in This City.

Programs for the tenth annual Rich
in Glen Miller park, August % to
September 1, have been received by
the management and are being mailed
to the patrons. The program this
year is exceptional, consisting of
many of the best known Chautauqua
lecturers and entertainers. The pro-
gram committee, of which Charles w.
Jordan is chairman, has been careful
in its selection of speakers, and as a
result it presents to the public a pro-
gram unequaled in quality and versa
tility
In connection with the Chautauqua
the Wayne County teachers institute
will be held August $3.50. The Or
ganization is planning to have a most
successful session with the well
known lecturers who have been Sc
cured to lecture on different phases of
school life.
The Chautauqua management has
secured the services of Dr. Wilbur L.
Davidson as platform manager. DR..
/ Davidson is an eloquent speaker and
, it is predicted that he will be one of
the favorites before the ten days pro-
gram is concluded. The first speaker
of note to snpear will be Ex-Governor
A. c. Shallenberger. of Nebraska, who
will speak on Sunday afternoon He
is a close student Of current events
and is thought he will be one of the
big drawing cards. Perhaps one of
the biggest drawing cards will be Miss
Virginia Brooks, of West Hammond,
ILL.,. VINO speaks on Tuesday evening.
1t was Miss Brooks who exposed the
political crooks and tricksters in this
+, Illinois city. Miss Brooks succeeded
in putting the political machine that

TO HELP THIS CITY
Commercial Club to Join u
S. Chamber of Commerce.

At the regular meeting of the board
of directors of the Richmond Com
mereial Club, it was decided to petit
ton the United States Chamber of
Commerce for membership. The
Commercial club has grown until it is
now one of the potent factors in Rich
mond's commercial activities and be-
cause of its many and varied activi-
ties, it is thought its association with
merce will assist in making it a more
complete and influential instrument in
assisting Richmond to become a big
ger and greater industrial center. Sec
retary Charles Jordan was Instructed
to take immediate steps in presenting
the Richmond Clubs application for
membership.

EXECUTIVE BOARD
NOW BADLY SPLIT
Eight of Its Twelve Members
Will Retire with Chairman
Robbins and Secretary
Brooks, on Saturday.

By resorting to the draft the Wayne
County Republican Central committee
yesterday after several strenuous hours
succeeded in placing in the field full
county delegation to the state con-
vention, which opened in Indianapolis
today. County Chairman Will Robbins,
who will tender his resignation Sat
urday, gave the state convention dele
cation blank appointments to secure
six delegates for the nine townships
which failed to hold meetings Satur-
day afternoon, and the few remaining
party leaders in the second and eighth
wards where no meetings were held
Friday night, appointed delegates to
represent those wards. Precinct Com
mitteeman, Ben Hill, of the eighth
ward filed certified certificates of the
election of a delegate and alternate
in his ward, Notwithstanding the fact
that no meeting was held in that ward
at the time specified in the call.
Saturday afternoon it is expected
that at least one-half the members of
the Republican County Central Com
mittee will tender their designations
Those who elect to remain with the
Republican party will have to decide
On the proper method to employ in
electing a new chairman and secre-
tary and for filling the vacancies on
the committee.
Confronted by Problem.
Ordinarily the executive commit
tee of the central committee per-
forms the duty of filling vacancies
in the central committee, but accord
ing to precedent when chairman re-
signs the men he has appointed to the
executive committee retire from the
committee with him, and it is almost
certain this course will be pursued.
There are twelve members of the exc
cutive committee, eight appointed by
the chairman. AS Mr.. Robbins and
Secretary Howard Brooks are to re-
sign, and the eight appointees of Mr..
Robbins will go out with him, the
membership of the executive commit
tee will be reduced to two. Vice Chair
man Paul Comstock, and Treasurer
Sanford Henning.
1t is regarded doubtful if Mr.. Com
stock and Mr.. Henning will shoulder
the responsibility of filling vacancies
on the coInty central committee, so
itsis probable that those who elect to
retain their seats in the central COM
mittee will appoint a new executive
committee, which, in turn, will fill
the vacancies in the central commit
tee. The reorganized central commit
tee will then elect a chairman, vice
chairman and secretary. 1t is probable
Mr.. Comstock, the present vice chair
man, will be elected to succeed Mr..
Robbins. 1t is not known who will
be named vice chairman or secre-
tary.

FALLS FROM
CAR--LOSES
RIGHT LIMB

Homer Stanley, 35, of 812 North
Eighth street, was seriously and per-
haps fatally injured this morning,
when he fell from repair car on the
traction line near Earlham college
and was run over by city car No. 302.
The wheels passed over his right leg,
and partly over his left leg below the
knee. He was also cut and bruised by
contact with the brake rigging and in
ternal injuries may develop. His head
is badly cut and bruised. He was
taken to the hospital, conscious,
where his injuries were attended to.
The attending physician states his
right leg will have to be amputated.
Amputation of the left leg is not
thought necessary.
City car No. 302, in charge of Motor
man Earl Savage and Conductor
Black, was engaged in pushing a re-
pair car over the tracks near Earl
ham about II o'clock when the acci-
dent occurred. The repair car jump
ed the track, throwing Stanley, who
was standing on the rear of the car,
backwards and in front Of the city
car.
Stanley fell almost beneath the front
trucks of the city car, but Motorman
Savage, by superhuman efforts, STOP
ped his car before the front wheels
had passed over Stanley's body. One
leg was almost severed. The unfortu-
nate man was covered with blood
when dragged from the embrace OF
the rigging on the brake beams. He
was rushed to the hospital.
Motorman Savage is held blameless,
having no time to stop his car. 1t is
said a piece of iron fell from the top
of the repair car on the rail, causing
the repair car to jump the track and
jostle Stanley off the platform.
Savage was sickened by the tragedy
and is at his home, unable to con,
tinue work. The Rev. Black, conductor
on the car, suffered dislocated shoul
der in turning the trolly shortly after
wards, and is confined to his bed al
home,

well known smile. and he waved his
hand in a cordial invitation. whereup-
on the drum corps members stepped

Welt shook their hands. Then while

CHICAGO, Aug. e.-All business
was halted at the national Progressive
convention this afternoon while ten
thousand delegates and spectators
cheered for Col. Roosevelt. The DEM
onstration was the longest and most
remarkable ever witnessed at a politi-
cal convention in the United States.
1t was remarkable not only for the en-
thusiasm displayed but also for the
prominent part women played In 1t.
Mrs. Ferdinand White of Chicago
was carried past the speakers stand
by two stalwart Progressives and in
front of the ex-president, shouting,
I'VE want Teddy" and various wo-
men suffrage leaders, including Miss
Jane Addams of Chicago and Mrs. b.
Sunderland of Los Angeles were lift
ed to the platform and there welcom-
ed by the Colonel. Other women dele
gates followed and received the same
hearty greeting.
The demonstration for Col. Roose-
velt broke all records for duration;
lasting fully 55 minutes; or ten min
utes longer than the famous reception
accorded William Jennings Bryan at
Denver several years ago.
Following the long demonstration
Col Roosevelt started to address the
conventian at 1:52 p. m. The former
president began by christening the
new party the National Progressive
party. 1t was the first time the name
of the organization had been mention
ed and was greeted with cheers.
Roosevelt in his address outlined
the things for which the new party
stood; attacking the old parties as
mere husks" boss-controlled and in.
terest-ridden."
! Before Roosevelt had completed the
! first paragraph of his speech 1t was
evident he did not intend to stick very
close to the text. He said it was fitting
that the convention should open with
the flies and drums of the last great
| fight for American progress.
"A few minutes ago two men came
to this platform and said to me, One
of us is a Johnny and the other is a
Yank. but we are both Americans and
Progressives as all honest Americans
are
That is the spirit-the only spirit
that will save US in the present crisis
The first reference to President Taft
brought Kisses from the galleries. The
next brought a laugh from everybody
Roosevelt referred sarcasticaliy tc
-ho cd Tof,
and then switched to Wilson. "A few
are still true to Taft-under Difficult
ties" he said.
