Those in Charge Have No
Doubt But That 81 900 Will
BE Raised For 1913 Fall
Festival.
SUPPLIES ARE SENT
TO WORKERS TO-DAY
Finance Committee Empha-
sizing Fact Event Will
Not Be Held If Amount
Set Is Not Contributed.

Members of the finance committee
of the 1913 Fall Festival are optimis-
tic as to the results of the whirlwind
campaign tomorrow morning to raise
money with which TO hold the big ev-
ent this year That $1,000, the amount
believed to be necessary to carry Oh
the proper kind of a festival, will be
raised is the statement of every mem
Der of the committee. In the event that
this amount is not contributed the fes-
tivai will not be held.
1T will not be difficult matter to
raise $1,000 for the festival this year,
declared a member of the committee
today More than $4,000 was contrib
uted for the holding of the G. A. r.
encampment in this city two years ago
and l believe that we can raise $1,000
tomorrow morning.
I'VE must have this amount, because
IL requires money to bring the right
kind of attractions to the city and we
must have the right kind of attractions
to bring the people.
Those in charge of the matter of So
ficiting are emphasizing the fact that
all attractions will be held in the city
and that none will be held in the su.
burbs, as was done three years ago.
Today supplies were sent to each
committee, with instructions as to
what the sub-committeemen are to do
and the list of merchants and others
upon whom they are to solicit funds
for the festival.
II is expected that those business
men who will be directly benefited by
the festival will at least double their
contributions of three years ago, at
the time the last fall festival was held.
In case there is a surplus after the
1913 festival is held, this amount will
be placed into a permanent fund and
be used In giving a similar event next
year. .
All committees are expected to re-
port at noon tomorrow at the Com
mercial club rooms, where Demas s.
Coe will be in charge.
A lunch will be served to the COM
mitteemen when all reports have been
submitted and the question as to
whether Richmond will have festival
this year is definitely determined. The
luncheon will be served on the fourth
floor of the Masonic Temple.

THINKS SUFFRAGE
WAR ABOUT ENDED
Nearly All the Leaders of the
Militants Are Confined
in Hospitals.
CNational News AssocIatlon)


LONDON, May 22.-With the two
real leaders of the militant suffra-
gettes sick in hospitals and under
criminal charges, Home Secretary Nc
Kenna believes the government is in
a fair way to break the backbone OF
the violence campaign of women. Mrs.
Emmeline Pankhurst, commander-in-
chief of the militants, and her first
lieutenant, Mrs. Flora General Drum
mond, are ill., and the chief adviser of
the Woman's Social and Political un-
ion, Miss Sylvia Pankhurst, is a politi-
cal exile in France, and it will be near
Iy three years before Mrs. Pankhurst
will be at liberty again, having been
sentenced that length of time for con-
spiracy and melting riot. The trial
of Mrs. Drummond was interrupted by
sickness.
However, while the government is
hoping that the wave of suffrage vio-
lence is weakening, nevertheless the
vigilance of Scotland Yard will not be
relaxed. In fact, extra guards were to-
day placed over the persons of officers
of the government in consequence of
the discovery at Cardiff, Wales. of a
suffrage conspiracy to hurt Mrs Me.
Kenna.
There were several incendiary fires
early today in and about London. AT
Fulham $4,000 damage was done to
the plant of the Westminster Improved
Paving company.
The police believe the fires were
started by persons in the employ of
the Womans Social and Political un.
ion Suffrage literature was found at
the scene of each blaze.

cured by Misrepresentation. Then the
rights were sold to Bourchier

JOHNSON LEADING
FOR PROGRESSIVES
Many Progressives Voted For
Bell to Assure Both the
Old Parties Having Ma
chine Candidates.
(National News Association)

INDIANAPOLIS, May 22-That the
Progressives' comparatively slight
vote in yesterdays primaries was in
reality a piece of shrewd politics was
declared in certain quarters today
Charles A. 'Bookwalter, Republican
and Joseph E. Bell, Democrat, both re-
puted party machine candidates, were
nominated by overwhelming plurali-
ties. DIR. w. H. Johnson. Progressive,
is strongly indicated as the nominee
of his party by returns available at
noon today.
Mr.. Bells plurality equalled the en-
tire Progressive vote and wise poll
ticians say that many Progressive
votes were cast for Bell SO that both
old parties would be represented by
so-called machine candidates in the
election next fall
The Democratic vote cast greatly ex-
ceeded the vote of the Republicans
and Progressives combined. Specula-
tion was rife today as to what candi-
date the indianapolis News, with its
powerful influence, would support in
the election after having opposed the
nomination of both Bell and Book
walter in the primary.
Rumors of an entirely independent
ticket to be placed in the field by pc
tition were in circulation today.
A Heavy Vote Cast.
Up to noon today about two thirds
of the precincts had reported. So far
the Republicans have polled about A.
500 votes and the Progressives about
$500.
A tabulation of the vote follows:
DEMOCRAT.
One hundred and sixteen precincts
out of 1873 give Bell 8,912, Hoffman
5,305, Keegan 3,013 and Meeker 1878.
REPUBLICAN,.
Seventy-six precincts out of 1873
give Bookwalter 3,515, Uhl 596, Woods
1873. -
PROGRESSIVE.
Eighty-two out of 1873 precincts give
Johnson 1866, Stewart, 1917, Headrick
575.
Hendrickson Satisfied.
City Chairman Harry c. Hendrick-
son, of the Progressive party, express
ed the keenest satisfaction over the
election before he closed up his head
quarters this morning and went home
"The Progressive nominations" he
said, "are the expression of thoughtful
| citizens of this city. They are the
! more gratifying in that they were
made by the voters who were not in
fiuenced by the Ubiquitous means used
! by the old parties. These nominations
were obtained without the use of
money. This alone should commend
our ticket to the voters of the city
when it is considered what the NOM
| nations by the old parties have cost
| the successful candidates.
