RICHMOND CROWDED.
Old Home Week Celebration Continues
with Great Success.


Richmond, Aug. l6.-Fine weather as
sured the success of the second day of
Richmond's Old Home week celebration
yesterday. The program was in many
respects similar to that of the first day,
including practically the same fine pro-
cession of floats, different order of ex-
ercises at the Old Round church, and IN
the afternoon drill by the Modern
Woodmen of America and a baseball
game. The address of the day was very
ably delivered by the Hon. j. 4. Cush-
man of Burlington. who pictured wildly
the changes which have come over the
world since the old round meeting house
was built. An excellent historical pa
per was read by Mrs. E. T. Jacobs,
whose father built the old church 100
years ago. A short address was made
by Rev. Carlton Hazen of Kensington,
Conn.
The parade was heartily cheered.
There were some changes and some ad-
ditions. The number of marchers was
increased by delegation of Woodmen
from Burlington. The streets of the
town were thronged with even greater
crowds and there were more tintype
artists, popcorn and lemonade venders,
and similar public entertainers.
The exercises we're held in the open
air in front of the old church. Prayer
was offered by Rev. Charles Wattie of
the Congregational church. Mrs. Jacobs
read her paper. Then the band played
a selection, after which Mr., Cushman
made his address.

liam L. Titus, aged 40, foreman at the
Blair veneer mill here, were electrocuted
last night at 1880, when they came in
contact with charged barbed wire
while hiving bees in Mr.. Chase's garden
Mr.. Chase screamed when he came in
contact with the wire and Titus jumped
to his assistance and received the shock.
The cause of the charging of the wire
has not been definitely determined. A
coil of telephone wire hung upon post
OF the barbed wire fence, part of the
coil touching, it is said, electric light
wires, and also the wire of the fence,
making a circuit.

tion of the l50th anniversary of the

Not until last Tuesday did definite
plans for celebration begin to FORM

been hard at work and the celebration
was credit to all who took any part
in the making of the plans or in helping
to carry them out.
At o'clock this morning, residents

non from Lincoln park, and later in the
day all the whistles in the city were

Efforts Made to Close Out Entire Stock
to One Bidder.

To satisfy mortgage claim of 1900
held by A. d. Morse, an auction at the
d. F. Davis drug store on North Main
street was started this forenoon. 1t was
proposed to sell the entire stock to one
bidder if satisfactory offer could be
secured. There were several bidders
present, but the high water mark SEEM
ed to have been reached at ii o'clock,
when q bid of 81 ,450 was rejected. The
legal representatives of Mr.. Morse re-
served the right to reject any bid, pre-
ferring to dispose of the property in
parcels if the lump price continued to
be unsatisfactory. The store was closed
by Deputy Sheriff II. J.. Slayton several
days ago. d. A. Perry acted as auc-
tioneer to-day.
The stock and fixtures were sold to

DEFENSE BEGINS
IN DIGGS CASE
Will Try to Show That the Men Tried
to Escape and Avoid Scan

San Francisco, Aug. 16.-The govern.
ment rested yesterday in the case of
Maury l. Diggs, charged with F. Drew
CaminetH with violation of the Mann
act, and the defense began it's efforts to
prove that Diggs and Caminetti did not
! transport Marsha Warrington and Lola
Morris from Sacramento, to Reno Tor
immoral purposes unlawfully.
So far as the opening statement of At
torney Devlin for the defense indicated,
no attempt will be made to show that
the two girls did not accompany the
two young married men to Reno, that
Diggs did not buy the tickets and Cami.
netti drew the money or that that rela-
tions did not fall within the language
OF the statute.
1--WE shall shor," said Attorney Dew
lin to the jury, shat the purpose of
this trip was not as stated in the indict-
ment; that it was the intention of the
defendants only to leave Sacramento for
a short time to avoid notoriety; that
they had at first intended to go to some
place within the state; that it never
was their intention to leave the state
but simply to get out of Sacramento;
that they missed train for Los An
geles and took the next one, which went
to Reno"
Other testimony which the defense
promised to introduce would go to show
that the men had told what they believed
to be the truth about the reasons for
leaving Sacramento, that scandal soon
to explode would cover them all with
shame and involve them all in prosecu-
tions. The two defendants had the NOR
al support yesterday of their wives and
mothers, who appeared in court after
the noon intermission and listened to
some particularly unpleasant testimony.

NEW YORK'S
TWO GOVERNORS
Continue with Increased Bitterness Fight
for Supremacy and Possession of
Executives Chair.

Albany, N. Y, Aug. l6.--New York's
two governors, after their epistolary
clash of yesterday, continued to-day with
increased bitterness their contest for the
possession of the chief executives chair
and it's functions. The proposal of Will
liam Sulzer, the impeached governor,
that he and his rival lay their respective
claims before the courts for speedy set
tlement, came to grief last night. Lieu
tenant Governor Glynn, who claims to
be acting governor by virtue of Sulzer's
impeachment, notified Mr.. Sulzer that he
had no intention of asking any court,
save the court for trial of Impeachment,
to decide the question, at is beyond my
power to barter away any of the func-
tions attached to the office in which
am placed by your impeachment" reads
Mr.. Glynn's reply to Sulzer. 81 hold
myself in readiness to perform and shall
perform every function of the office of
governor, except in so far as l am re-
strained by your illegal action or by
physical force"
Among the reports to-day was one
that Mr.. Glynn expected to go in person
to the executive chamber and attempt to
perform the duties of governor. Mr..
Sulzer asserted he had no intention of
relinquishing any of the rights of gov
ernorship.
