pany would agree to furnish the gas at
a reasonable figure. The promoter as
sured the president of the board that
the price would not be more than forty
five cents per 1000 feet and probably
would be less. At the prices quoted

CIVIC UNION IS
TO Be ORGANIZED
Leaders Say that There Is
Need of Social and Moral
Reform in Richmond.

The Richmond Civic union, an organ
ization for the reforming of social and
moral conditions Of this city, is being
formed in this city under the super
vision of D. B. Johnson, Of Indianapo-
lis, state superintendent Of the Indi-
ana Civic union.
Last spring Mr.. Johnson spoke be-
fore large gathering of citizens of
Richmond in the Commercial club
which paved the way for the organiza-
ton. The need of the organization, ac-
cording to citizens of the city who will
act as directors Of the organization
is very great. The fact that many
young girls are seen on the streets at
late hours and that public dances of
a shady repute are being held, has
actuated citizens to demand reform.
These conditions as we'll as the
health conditions of the city will be
remedied by the union if possible.
Anything which is for the good of the
people of the city morally or physically
will be instituted" said DR.. A. J..
Bramkamp, a prominent member of
the organization committee
The organization committee met
later this afternoon for the purpose of
outlining plans and discussing the
plans of the society. All the work will
be separate from the work of the state
organization, though the organization
will be closely affiliated. The organi-
cation committee is composed of Dr.
A. l.. Bramkamp, Alfred Bavis, B. B.
Johnson, H. S. Weed, Charles W. Jor-
dan, President Kelly. of Earlham col
lege, and Timothy Nicholson.
A general mass meeting of the citi-
zens will be held Sunday afternoon in
the Commercial club rooms where
speeches will be given by Mr.. John
son and prominent members of the So
ciety.

ACCUSED SENATOR
PLACED ON TRIAL

Characters of States
Witnesses.
(Sational News Association

(National News Association)
COLUMBUS, O, Nov. 2s-Attempt
ing to impugn the character of state
witnesses attorneys for the defense in
the trial of George X. Cetone, the
Montgomery county senator, charged
with having accepted bribe in the
last assembly, today questioned Detec-
tive Frank H. Smiley regarding an in.
dictment returned against him several
years ago at Chicago, which charged
the detective with having embezzled
s12, 900 while in the employ of the
Chicago Forge & Bolt company. Smiley
admitted the Indictment, saving that
it was later dismissed. Little was
brought out by the defense in cross
examining Smiley who testified that
he had given the $500 bribe money to
Cetone- He admitted that in his con
versation with Cetone at the Chitten-
den hotel at the time of the alleged
bribery the defendant told him that as
author of the bill he intended to do all
he could for il anyhow
The defense attorneys stirred up the
counsel on the other side when they
made the implication that the Ohio au.
thorities had paid Smiley for coming
here TO testify against Cetone. This
vigorously denied by Prosecutor Tur-
ner. who stated that he himself would
pay Mmiley in behalf of the county
just as he would pay any other wit

NEED is APPARENT

The following letter, issued by the
sponsors of the Richmond Guest
House which it is proposed to estab-
lish in this city for self-supporting wo-
men, will interest the general public
as well as the clubs and organizations
to which it has been directly sent
The plans of this institution have
before been made public through the
newspapers and their character is
more or less understood. No doubt a
prompt and generous response will be
made. The text of the letter reads:
In order to avoid the evil results,
both social and moral, that gradually
develop with the growth of city, on
account of the lack Of proper surround
ings for girls and women women who
are dependent upon their own exer-
tlons for livelihood, a plan has been
formed by which comfortable Chris
tian home, surrounded by healthful in
fluences, may be provided at as low a
rate as the cost of maintenance will
permit.
All those familiar with conditions in
large cities know the need amongst
self-supporting women for a suitable
place where they may entertain their
friends, have profitable amusements
and sanitary surroundings.
In view of establishing such an in
stitution corporation has been form
ed composed of Miss Rose Dougan,
Miss Eleanora H. Robinson, Miss
Clara M. Sweitzer, Miss Edith S.
Moore, Miss Sarah A. Hill, Mrs. E. P.
Trueblood, Mrs. Edwin S. Jay, Miss
Aa Bartel and Miss E. Annie Wilson.
The object of this organization is to
cooperate with the people of Rich
mond in providing such a home, Chris
tian but non-sectarian, with an audi
torium and club room where lectures
and other entertainments may be CIV
en-, also gymnasium and general din
ing room; all Of which to be open to

in the Richmond Guest House" by
which name this place is to be called.
1t shall be under the management
Of persons who are in it purely for
their interest in the physical, mental
and spiritual benefit of women and
therefore of humanity.
There are places for the aged, the
sick, and the destitute; there are plac-
es of instruction and recreation woth
congenial surroundings, for the man
with limited income, but what about
the woman similarly situated?
knowing that you as club women,
business men and Christian workers
are interested in promoting the larger
interests of our already clean and
beautiful city, we request you to ap-
point from your number, one or more
representatives, either men or women,
who in the aggregate, shall constitute
an auxiliary board, which shall act in
conjunction with the board of directors
already named to formulate plans for
establishing such a home.
Cooperation of the people of Rich
mond can accomplish anything. We are
asking you to follow the motto of the

confessed. Announcement of the con-
fession was made today by District At
torney Dudley, who also stated that
Hickey had confessed to the killing of
little Michael Kruck, in Central park,
New York City, nearly ten years ago.
Hickey's confession clearing up these
two mysterious crimes did not surprise

overwhelming evidence against him.
Hickey spent Thanksgiving Day
alone in his cell, except for brief con-
versation with the district attorney
He grew nervous and asked that a
minister be sent to him. Later in the
day the district attorney was summon
ed to Hickey's cell. The activity about
the mans cell continued until late in
the night and the county officials adj
mitted that the prisoner had again
asked for a minister.
Hickey was indicted by the Erie
county grand jury following his arri-
val at an inebriate farm in New Jer-
sey, but before he was brought into
this state. The prisoner will be ar
raigned Monday.

GERMAN EVENING
WAS BIG SUCCESS
German Alliance Is Encour-
aged by Many Impartial
Compliments.

No single achievement of the Ger.
mans in this city has attracted SO
much attention and been prolific of SO
many complimentary commentaries as
the German Evening" which the Ger
man Alliance gave at ST. Johns hall
Wednesday evening.
1t was the first time that the Ger.
mans of this city have united in pre-
senting to the public the native musi.
cal and histrionic ability of the race.
The program was so well received and
the comment of many Americans has
been so excessively flattering that the
Alliance is tempted to repeat the per.
formance.
Germans point with pride to the
fact that the innate musical ability OF
the race was able to present a musical
program which has called forth un-
stinted praise from critics who were
not actuated by racial considerations
to pass Complimentary judgment on
the rendition of German Lieder
The gathering was social in essence
and purpose. Its leaders purposed to
bring the German families of the city
to the concert, and hence they invited
mothers to bring their children. and
asked the German schools to insist
that their pupils attend.
It's object was to acquaint the Ger
mans with the high value of German
music, and incidentally through the
addresses of the speakers to show the
beauty of perpetuating as far as pos
sible under the varying conditions of
American civilization the literary and
artistic achievements of the race.

presented soon. Although the ordin-
ance provided for the inspection of the
slaughtering of animals it did not
specify directly what powers the in
spector has over the wagons In which
meats are delivered in the city.
The proposed clause will give the
inspector power TO insist that wagons
be sanitary. The inspector, under the
new clause. will have the right TO in
spect wagons on the streets. and if
they are not in clean condition action
can be taken against the owners.
