HID IN STRAW SLACK
FOLLOWING SHOOTING
Richard Br own Goes on Wit
ness Stand in Own De-
fenSe.

Richard Brown, on the witness stand
today in his own defense, told of the
trouble that led up to the shooting of
Howard Starr. When the bullet struck
him Starr clutched at his wound and
turning to the crowd said. Boys, he
has hit me- Send for the doctor and
the sheriff"
Brown left the scene at once, realiz-
ing what he had done. and wandered
off through a COrnfield and some
neighbOring woods to an old straw
stack where he remained in hiding for
two days and nights and then crept
back home. He stayed there one day
and then came to Richmond with his
father and gave himself up.
The defendant did not make a good
witness for himself, becoming con-
fused at times and frequently asserting
his inability to remember details. At
tOrneyS for the defense will seek to
build their case upon the fact that
Brown shot Starr without intent, be-
ing angered and firing to frighten him.
The case will not reach the jury till
some time tomorrow.

en- For Charity.

The contrast between the expense
of erecting the Honeywell revival tab
ernacle to create religious enthusiasm
and the meager response TO the ap-
peal OF the Associated Charities for
money TO alleviate human suffering. ls
made the theme of a signed statement
which William Dudley Foulke. pub
fcist and civic reform worker. issued
today.
is il not incumbent upon men who
signed the contract with the ev>nEe-
list TO see 10 il. before the praises OF
God in the new tabernacle begin. that
adequate and abundant provision 10
made for our poor and suffering"
sententiously asks Mr. Foulke
The text of his statement follows:
To the Editor OF the Palladium:
Those members OF the Richmond
Ministerial Association who invited
certain revivalists to this city made
a contract with them calling for a tab
ernacle costing its thousands of dol
lars, as well as for other large ex-
penses. Meanwhile those whose task
il is to provide for our poor have
been able TO raise only $500 for the
needs of a winter when there is more
unemployment and probably will be
more distress than ever has been
known in our city.
The Christianity represented by the
concurrence of these two facts may
well listen 10 the morality of a heath
en- poet. Rabindra Nath Tagore. who
received the Nobel prize in literature.
Sire" announced the servant OF
the king, the saint Narottam never
deigns to step into your royal tenn
pie. He is singing Gods praise under
the trees by the open road The tenn
pie is empty of all worshippers. They
flock round him like bees round the
fragrant white lotus, leaving the gold
en- jat of honey UNDECIDED"
The king. vexed at heart. went to
the spot where Narottam sat on the
grass. He asked him, Father why
leave my temple and sit on the dust
outside TO preach Gods lover"
Because God is not there in your
temple" said Narottam
The king frowned and said, do you
know what gold has been spent on
that marvel of art. and that the tenn
pie was duly consecrated to God with
costly rites?"
Yes. / know" answered Narottam
''It was the dread year when thous-
ands OF your people lost their lives
in fire and stood at your door for help
in vain. And God said. The creature
who can give no shelter to his broth
ers would aspire to build My house
Thus He took His place with the shell
terless under the trees by the road.
Is it not incumbent upon every man
who signed that contract with the ev-
evangelists, or who expect to contrib
ute to the revival. to see to il, be
fore the praises of GOD in this new
tabernacle begin. that adequate and
abundant provision is made for our
own poor and suffering.

Judge Fox has authorized the state
ment that while you publicly pose as
an experienced and successful hunter
of jack rabbits and squirrels, as mat
ter of fact you are probably the worst
nimrod in Indiana. And he further
charges that your ignorance of the
proper method of using a shotgun
makes you a dangerous companion on
hunting trip-dangerous both to your
fellow nimrods and to yourself" began

ARMY IS JEALOUS
SAYS RESCUE HEAD
Capt. Wahlberg, of Workers,
Smiles at Capt. Stanford's
Statement.

Jealousy on the part of Captain
Stanford OF the work of the American
Rescue Workers is attributed by Cap
tain Wahlberg of that organization as
the reason for his accusing the Res
cue Workers of initiating the methods
and uniform of the Salvation Army.
To such lengths did this jealousy
carry the Salvation Army leader, &C
cording to Captain Wahlberg, that he
endeavored to secure the hall where
the Rescue Workers now meet in or
der to inconvenience them.
THE Rescue Workers are all right,
long as they content themselves with
holding street meetings and preaching
the gospel, but the moment we begin
to solicit funds they think we are
usurping one of their pet preroga-
tives," said Captain Wahlberg today.
None of us have ever represented
ourselves as being workers for the
army when we were soliciting funds.
The story doubtless started by some
joker who took this means of excusing
himself from contributing to the
army
Solicit Each Day.
Since the coming of the Stanfords
to Richmond the activity of both or.
CARNATIONS has been measurably in
creased. Where formerly they made
the rounds of the saloons only once a
week soliciting money, the rounds are
now made every day.
The Salvation Army has secured the
assistance of an officer from Indiana
polls and his wife, while the Rescue
Workers have secured the assistance
of Lieutenant Mayo and his wife, from
Newcastle to assist them.
The Rescue Workers announced to-
day that in addition TO distributing
baskets on Christmas day, as the Sal
vation Army plans to do, they will
serve a big Christmas dinner at their
hall on South Sixth street.

ROBBINS TO CALL
SESSION OF BOARD
Purpose to Discuss Definite
Program for Next Ad-
ministration.
BOND HAS TWO PLANS
City Attorney Wants Strict
Enforcement of Garbage
Ordinance.
BOND HAS TWO PLANS

Some day the Grst of next week
he will hold a meeting with the three
members OF his board of public works
Alfred Bavis, John McMinn and Chas.
Marlatt, and discuss plans for the
administration of the city affairs.
Up to the present time the mayor
elect has had no conferences with the
other members of his cabinet as to the
work to be done in their respective
departments.
City Attorney Bond has two plans
he will seek to have indorsed by the
administration. One is a strict en-
forcement of the ordinances relating
to the handling of garbage and trash.
He will urge that police officers be
required to make careful and regular
inspections of alleys on their beats
to see that the householders place
their garbage and trash as required
by ordinance for collection by city
wagons. All who violate the provi-
sions of the ordinance will be report
ed and warned, and on repetition of
their offenses arrested and fined.
Mr.. Bond will also urge the in
stallation of modern street cleaning
and sprinkling system. He is of the
opinion that the streets are in their
present poor condition mostly because
they have not been properly cared
for. He thinks it will be possible to
compel the street car company to
flush, at its Op 0yDense, those sec
tionS of the It's on which its
tracks are laid. and would favor hav-
ing the city enter a contract with the
company to flush the other sections
of such streets on payment of rea-
sonable rate by the city.

Only 500 in Treasury to

Clothing Instead of Toys
and Candy.

That a large fund for the Associat-
II distress and suffering among the
poor people is not to be the worst in
the city's history, is the assertion
made by members of the Associated
Charities.
The appeal for funds made by the
Associated Charities yesterday had
the effect today of focusing the at
tention of the public on the many
cases OF dire distress for whom
prompt relief is imperative
The charity committee of the Elks'
lodge, which is raising funds among
it's members to ditribute aid to the
poor on Christmas, has a list Of 141
worthy families that are practically
destitute. There is an average of
five persons in each of these families,
showing that at present there are at
least 705 persons here in need of the
bare necessities of life.
Men Out of Work.
Many men in Richmond are out
of work at the present time, princi-
pally because of the closing down of
one of the largest factories and the
reduction of the number of employees
on the Richmond division of the Penn
sylvania railroad Soon cold weather
will bring to close practically all out
door work, and this will increase the
number of idle men.
