GLEN MILLER BEARS
DANCE TANGO BEAR"
Object Strenuously to the
Canned" Music on the
Flying Dutchman."

Bears do not take favorably to the
modern amusement appliances, accord
ing to Ed Hollarn, superintendent of
parks.
Mr.. Hollarn did not realize this Sun
day morning when he was taking Mel
lie and Boscoe, the Glen Park bears
out for walk. He tried to entertain
the animals by giving them a round on
the Flying Dutchman."
Boscoe being the more tractable, was
placed on the machine first and tied in
a seat. Then the signal was given and
the merry-go-round started. For just
two seconds, as the automatic band"
inside the device started lively tune,
the bear stood on its launches bewil-
dered. Then it made mad scramble
and bounded off the now swiftly turn
ing merrygo-round, turning over and
over on the grass 1t disappeared al
most as soon as it regained its feet A
search revealed that the bear had re-
turned TO the cage for projection
against the internal machine
Nellie was placed on the Flying
Outchman" and tied to a seat The ami
NAL remained motionless until the
band" struck up bear" when Nell
lie started to negotiate a few of the
latest dance steps. Whether the bear
was actually trying TO demonstrate the
bear" with touch of realism or not,
he park superintendent has not de-
2ided, but so violent were her motions
hat it was feared she would damage
he apparatus The merry-go-round was
stopped and the bear was taken OF,

SPRING GROVE MAY
PUT IN SIDEWALKS
Brick Road Through District
Has Proved Popular
Improvement.
RAISE SCHOOLING TAX
Large Number of Children
Attending City Schools
Caused Increase.
RAISE SCHOOLING TAX

Sidewalks through Spring Grove to
the corporation line is one of the pro-
jects the officials will take up as soon
as the land about the new brick road
is in condition. This was announced
at the regular meeting of the town
board last evening.
The sidewalks will not be made be-
fore next spring. according TO Secre-
tary Woodward. II is believed that
all residents of Spring Grove are desir-
Gus of having the sidewalks made as
the brick road through the district has
proved a popular Improvement
Contrary to what was anticipated. il
was only necessary to raise the school
tax five cents per 500. The large
number of children attending schools
in Richmond. the expense of which is
incurred by the corporation. made the
increase necessary. The school tax
rate now stands at eleven cents per
500. having formerly been six cents.
No increase was made in any OF the
other taxes.
The sum of 81 annually is paid for
every grade scholar who attends
schools in Richmond and 81 for every
high school student.

MAN COUNTERFE|TER
AUTHORITIES BELIEVE
Hans Schmidt Also Thought
to be Connected With
Other Murders.
(National News Association

NEW YORK, Sept 16-In the be-
lief that he has committed other muir
ders than that of Anna Aumuller, the
girl whose torso was found in the
Hudson river, the police today plan
ned to put Father" Hans Schmidt,
the alleged priest who confessed to
butchering the girl, through an exam
ination intended to force him to re-
veal every act of his shrouded past.
That Schmidt was a counterfeiter as
well as a murderer, came to light to-
day through the arrest shortly after
midnight of Ernest Arthur Muret, an
alleged bogus dentist, and Bertha
Vech, his girl assistant.
Muret today admitted that he knew
both Schmidt and the murdered girl
and confessed that Schmidt had been
his partner in counterfeiting opera
tons.
After the arrest the police raided
Muret's fiat and also another fat
which was rented jointly by Schmidt
and Muret. In the latter was found
complete counterfeiting outfit. In the
fiat where Muret lived were found sur
gical instruments, such as are used to
perform illegal operations. The po-
lice believe that these instruments
were used to perform an operation on
the Aumuller girl, who would have
soon become the mother of a child
Muret told the police today that
shortly before the death of Anna
Aumuller, the girl visited Central park
and was blistered by poison ivy. When
he asked Schmidt on September a.,
three days after the murder, how the
girl was, the priest replied, 80, she is
in great shape, Poison ivy will never
bother her again"
Schmidt spent restful night in his
cell. The horror of his crime appar-
emily does not bother him. He ate a
hearty breakfast and appeared calm
and undisturbed. He still refuses to
be interviewed on the ground that
reporters cannot understand the acts
of great men,"
Police officials, the coroner and the
prison warden now hold different
views concerning Schmfdt's insanity.
The prisoner himself ridicules the
idea that he is insane and declares
that there has never been any insan-
ity in his family.

LOCAL POST OFFICE
BUSINESS INCREASES
Receipts Last Year Amount
to Approximately 100000
Says Handley.
DOUBLE IN NUMBER
Comparison in Weights Show
Office Here Handles
More Magazines.
DOUBLE IN NUMBER

Increasing two fold in the last
twelve years the business of the local
post office has grown more rapidly
than the population of the city, which
has increased from 10000 in 1900 to
$4,000 according to the latest census.
The receipts twelve years ago said
Assistant Postmaster Lawrence Hand
ley amounted to approximately $40,-
600. Last year this sum was more than
doubled, the receipts being approx
mately $4,000. To handle the increas-
carriers was increased from time to
time. until the postoffice now employs
fifty men.
Growth Steady.
This steady growth Handley believes
is proof that Richmond is a panic
proof" city, since two of the companies
which used to send more pieces
through the mail than any theirs, have
quit mailing through the local office.
When the Gaar-Scott plant was bought
by the NJ. Rumely Company and the
International Harvester Company con-
tracted for the Hoosier Drill com
pany's products, the thousands of let
through the local office were handled
at the home offices of the companies.
Had not this change been made AS
sistant Handley believes the receipts
for the postOffice would have reached
100000 two or three years ago.
Pieces Double.
The number of pieces of mail han
died Is more than double that of twelve
years ago.
Each week more than 100000 pieces
Of matter are distributed and mailed
out by the office. The city carriers de.
liver an average of 100000 pieces
each week, the rural carriers $4,000
pieces, while about 10000 pass through
the boxes and general delivery win
dow. The number of pieces which pass
through the canceling machine each
week going to other points is 250.000.
A comparison of weights shows
that the Richmond postofice handles
more magazines than any other city
its size in the country.

Delegates and alternates to the
Democratic city convention were cho-
sen at ward meetings held last night.
and if T. ], Study. who for years dom
mated the local Democratic party. has
his way the mayoralty candidate OF
the party will be Charles Marlatt.
At the fifth ward meeting last night
Mr.. Study bluntly declared for Mr..
Marlatt. AT the same meeting was A.
4. Mumbower. husily informing those
in attendance that his mayoralty can
didacy was in the hands OF his
friends" and that he would accept the
nomination il rendered to him. Mr..
Mumbower's candidacy was ignored
by Mr.. Study. however, and in an ad-
dress following the selection of dele
gates and alternates. Mr.. Study said
he had been informed that Mr.. Num-
bower had withdrawn from the race;
that he did not think Henry Farwig
qualified TO lead his party to victory.
and that the logical man TO place at
the head of the ticket was Charles
Marlatt. No comment was made by
Mr.. Mumbower when he was declared
out of the running by Mr.. Study. but
he will probably accept his fate with
as one of the councilmen-at-large.
Goes After Zimmerman.
Mr.. Study, after disposing OF the
Mumbower candidacy. paid his re-
spects to DR. Zimmerman. Republican
mayoralty candidate. "Dr. Zimmerman
has no qualifications for the Office he
now holds" said Mr.. Study. land il is
to the best interests of the city that

litical billy goat and is absolutely un-
able to handle any important issue

To WAR
AGAINST "SPOONERS"
Wants Sixty Additional Park
Lights in Order to Abate
the Nuisance.

The necessity of sixty additional
lights in Glen Miller park will be pre-
scented TO the board of works by Supt.
Hollarn. There are parts of the Glen
in which ii is impossible to distinguish
objects even on the lightest nights at
a close distance. Mr.. Hollarn does not
want the park to be come haven for
"spooners-"
One of the best places for spoon
ers'' is behind Honeysuckle hill, &C
cording TO the superintendent, another
is on the picnic grounds in the rear OF
the park, while the spot used for Chau-
tauqua is almost as bad, this place be.
ing lighted only during the ChautauQua
assemblies.
Preparations are being made to dis
tribute 400 loads of gravel over the
park roads so that they will be in good
condition for next year. The gravel
will be taken from the gravel bank
on the west side of the lake. The park
superintendent says this gravel bank
saves about $500 annually.

LITTLE BLUE RIBBON
PROTECTS RICHMOND
CITIZEN IN MEXICO
Daniel Walters to Return to
Disordered Country,
s7fearing Nothing.
RECEIVED FROM PRIEST
What it Signifies and Secret
Power it Possesses, Wal
tiers is Unaware.
RECEIVED FROM PRIEST

One of Daniel Walters most priced
possessions Ia little blue ribbon of
a peculiar shade. 1t Is just an ordi-
nary strip Of ribbon, except for it's
odd coloring, and is not more than an
inch in length, but in the land where
1T came from, Mexico, it has almost
the same mystic power as the legend
airy magic ring. The wearer of such
a ribbon commands the utmost defer
ence from Mexicans of all stations in
life and he is safe from all molesta-
ton, even in districts where revolu-
tionary disorders are the greatest.
Because he possesses such magic
ribbon, Walters is planning to return
to Mexico next February with the ut
most Indifference as to what the con-
ditions in that anarchy-ridden, Ameri-
can-hating country will be at that
time. He Is going to Zacaticas, in
central Mexico, near Mexico City,
where he Is interested in an ore min
ing concern.
The ribbon he will place on the Ia
pei of his coat as soon as he enters
Mexico, is the gift of the priest of a
Zacaticas church, who is an Ameri-
can. What it signifies, what secret
power it represents in the Mexican
Catholic church, Walters is ignorant
Of He was not told and he did not
ask All he knows about this little
ribbon of his is that so long as he
wears it he is safe from indignities.
Interesting Story.
Walters story of how he came into
possession of this ribbon is an inter-
esting one.
Zone day in Zacaticas," he said, Il
wandered into a cathedral, one Of the
Oldest and most historic in Mexico. In
the dim light | saw priest come
from behind the altar. He appeared
to be an American and asked him if
he was not. He replied in the affirm
alive and asked me from what part
of the states l came from. I told him
Richmond, Ind, then remarked that |
was born in Butler county, Ohio.
With that he seized me and embraced
me- was born in old Butler county,
too, he said, almost sobbing with joy.
He invited me to his quarters, where
we had refreshments and he told me
how he had entered the priesthood and
how he had eventually been sent to
Mexico by the church. After we had
talked together for over an hour about
our boyhood home, he presented me
with this little ribbon, telling me to
always wear it in Mexico.
After I left him I could not help
noticing what great respect was paid
to the ribbon l wore. 1t was fire.
quently saluted and always there was
a pathway open to me no matter how
dense the crowd. Perhaps some day
4 will learn what the secret of the
ribbon is"
