CHIEFS To QUIT
1T. Rowland, Traffic Manager,
c. B. KeaIhofer, and Proba-
bly, Leahy Will Resign.

That a general shake-up is coming in
the Offices of the Atlanta. Birmingham
and Atlantic railroad was forecast in
railroad circles today, coupled with def
mite announcements Of several changes
among the officials of that road. Ir
fact the shake-up began last week with
the coming of E. T. Lamb to take gen
eral charge Of the operation of the road.
The announcement of the resigna-
ton of Alex Bonneyman. general man
ager has already been made. This Is to
be followed within the next few days
by the announcement that j. T. Row
land traffic manager, will resign. 1t is
reported also that c. B. Kealhofer. gem
eral freight agent, will follow Mr.. Row
land.
w. Fl. Leahy, general passenger
agent, while not affected by the general
shake-up inspired by Eastern stock
holders, will leave the A., B. and A., if
he carries out his present plans to en-
ter the real estate business. Mr.. Leahy
gained an insight into the possibilities
of farm land dealing by his remarkable
A.. b. and A., and has had several OPP

real estate business with ample back

and though it has shown considerable
improvement in its gross earnings of
late, the owners Of the securities have
not believed the net profits have been
up to what they might have been. 1t
is said that they decided that too many
fancy salaries were being paid for the
business the road was doing, and made
up their minds to effect a change in
management.
E r. Lamb, a veteran railroad man,
who was president and general mana
ger Of the Norfolk Southern, was chosen
as the chief executive who would reor-
ganize the system. He was sent to At

of the operating department of the road.

to have a trained and expert railroad
operator, one who knows the game from

road, so they brought Mr. Lamb from
the Norfolk Southern to take charge.

Says Social Event Held by
the Day Students Was Not
a Dancing Party, as 1t Was
Published.
SANCTION WAS NOT
GIVEN BY FACULTY
To Any Request to Permit
Dancing, and He Denies
that This Pastime Was En-
joyed by Students.

Denying emphatically that the dance
given last evening at the Odd
Fellows hall by the Day Dodgers OF
Earlham college was given with the
permission and sanction of the faculty
President r. L. Kelly today took vigor-
GUS exception to the reports appearing
in the local morning paper, and the
Indianapolis Star. DR.. Kelly stated
that it was not the purpose of the col
lege to encourage dancing, and stated
that he had neither knowledge of
the students intentions to give a
dance, nor invitation to attend it, and
stated that Miss Snepp, dean of wo-
men at the college, had neither been
invited nor had been present at the
dance, and that the stories accrediting
her with being the chaperone Of the
party were false.
The story carried by the Indianapo-
lis Star states that the dancing party
given under sanction of the officials of
the college is regarded as an "advanc-
ed step taken by the progressives of
the Quaker church"
Prof. Kelly wishes it made plain
that such is not the case, and states
to Miss Snepp as being of an informal
nature at which luncheon and games
would be the features, and that Miss
Snepp then gave her permission to the
girls to attend.
The statement issued to the Pal
ladium by Prof r. L. Kelly, president
of Earlham College follows:
Statement by kslIy.
1t il not true, as stated in this
mornings Star 0ndianapolisl, that
the dancing party was given last night
with the approval of President r. L..
Kelly and other officials of Earlham
college.
1T is not true that Miss Snepp, dean
of women added official sanction to
the occasion by being present as a
chaperone.
''The president did not know that q
party of any kind was being given and
Miss Snepp was neither present nor in.
vited. The Richmond ladies who were
in charge of the affair, and representa-
tive students in attendance, assure
me that it was not a dancing party.
Dinner was served, games played, and
some of the students engaged in SIM
pie dances in an informal way. The
party adjourned at 10:3O.
1T should be added that the college
does not presume to interfere in the
social matters carried on by the stu
dents in the city except in an advis-
ory way. The Day Dodgers, I learn,
voluntarily asked Miss Snepp's per-
mission to hold the party, assuring
her that it would not be dancing
party, and she saw no objections. The
great mass of Earlham students in
Richmond are loyal to the college
without doubt.

FALL FESTIVAL IS
an ASSURED Event
Y. M. G.. A. Directors to Com
ply With Wishes of Lo-
cal Business Men,

- "wen ilave.a feaH festival In 1912.
was the optimistic announcement
made by directors of the Young Mems
Business Club, after their monthly
dinner-meeting in the Westcott hotel,
last night. There they unanimously
passed resolution favoring the hold
ing of this event next autumn. After
discussion of plans for improving the
festival over former years, and an
nouncement by Secretary Raymond
B. Mather that IS percent of the mer-
chants of the city had stated they
wanted another festival, the directors
determined to present the matter for
final consideration at the fall festival
meeting" of the club members next
week.
As most Of the small number of COM
plants made by business men were
Based on the fact that this is campaign
year, the directors suggested that one
day of the festival be set aside as
political day According to the direc-
tors scheme, prominent political ora
tors representing both Republicans
and Democrats would be secured to
speak on this occasion.
Although the directors were not en-
powered to settle definitely any part of
the festival arrangemeints, they rec
commended that the event be held three
days, the latter part of next Septem.
ber
All the entertainments this year will
be given in the heart of the city, most
ly out of doors. In accordance with this
suggestion, they will abolish the hip
podrome and will make the musical
program a much more prominent fea-
ture than it has been in the past. The
directors were unanimous in the opin-
ion that the city should "let the farm
ers do more in the festival" One of the
leading attractions therefore in 1912,
will be an agricultural parade.
Farmers will also be asked to pro-
vide stock show.
Following the consideration of the
fall festival, the directors decided to
recommend to the club members that
the annual club banquet be held at the
Westcott Hotel the latter part of this
month. | =.

rectors last night, when they decided

NEARLY TWO CENTS
ADVANCE FOR MILK
Local Dealers at Meeting
Boost Price from 6N
to 8 Cents OF.

Mill. -not%to~ b laft hahipd. in tha
general scramble for the top OF the lad
der in high prices for food stuffs. last
night jumped from 6A to 3 cents per
quart, on a decision made by the retail
association, held in the city
building. Increased prices for food for
the cows, and labor prices are given
as the reasons .+
Thirteen retailers and eighteen
wholesalers last night decided on this
raise. as being necessary to the busi-
ness to give profit, the additional
costs to the producer through feed and
labor bills forcing this decision, they
stated.
On the frst of May when the pas
turage of herds is possible again, and
the dairymen are relieved from the
necessity of buying forage for the cat
tie, they will lower the price to seven
cents a quart, the price to be raised
again on the first of November to eight
cents.
Practically every dealer who retails
or WHOLESALERS the Tactic fluid in this
city was present at the meeting last
night, and agreed to the raise in price.
What effect this raise will have on the
consumption of milk in the city was
not discussed, but it is thought by
those .versed in this study, that the
poor of the city. who are under the
necessity of paying exhorbitant prices
for the necessities of life will cease to
buy the natural product, and will rely
on the canned milk and cream for their
needs.
Reynolds Presided.
At the meeting last evening at which
w. C. Reynolds presided, number Of
the dairymen suggested that the price
be fixed at seven cents the year around
while others suggested that the price
be raised to seven cents now and then
raised to eight cents after November l.
But it was finally decided to make the
raise to eight cents at the present and
to place the increased price into effect
Monday, believing that all consumers
can be notified before Monday of the
change.
According to Charles Flock, dairy in
spector, there are 1 1,05O gallons of milk
consumed daily in this city. The in
crease in price will amount to about
$75 per day, making the total amount
paid by Richmond milk consumers per
day about $3.50.
. Whether the increase will have any
effect upon the quantity of milk con-
sumed here or not is not known
Some club women have stated, that
the increase in the price will compel
many to resort to the use Of condensed
milk and cream for both cooking and
table use They declare that everyone
cannot afford to pay eight cents per
quart for milk and that . great number
will be forced to resort 70 the CON
densed milk for economical reasomG.
