RICHMOND NOW HAS
25,624 RESIDENTS
Increase of $500 people in 3
Years Shown BY a Post
Office Report.

Postmaster E. M. Haas announced
today that 6,406 homes in Richmond
were served by the local postoffice. OF
course, practically every home in the
city is on the postoffice list.
Figuring four people to every home,
regarded as a most conservative meth.
cd of computation by census officials,
the postoffice report shows Richmond
now has a population of 25,624, an
increase of exactly $500 over the Off.
cial census of 1910, which gave Rich.
mond's population at 22.324.
A Remarkable Increase.
These figures show that Richmond's
growth in the past three years was in
excess of IA per cent, at least II pei
cent more than the city increased in
population between the years 1900 and
/ 1910. If the present ratio of gain in
population continues during the next
seven years, Richmond will have over
80, 900 citizens.
Desirable living and working condi
tions in Richmond are given the credit
for the city's rapid squirt in increasing
its population.

INN, Ind, July Fire from light

The damage is not covered by insur

GOLD BRICKER OF
WALL ST. LOCATED
David Lamar, N. Y, Admits
Using Names of Promi-
nent Men in Deals.
(National News Association)


WASHINGTON, July 2.-The mys-
terious impersonator who it is alleged
has been trying to gold brick Wall
street operators into doing his bidding
through the use of the names of prom
inent representatives and senator's
was discovered today by the Overman
lobby investigating committee in the
person of David Lamar of New York.
Lamar staggered to the witness stand
Representative Riordan's name with
out the representatives consent, when
endeavoring to have Judge Robert Lo-
vett, chairman of the board of direc-
tors of the Union Pacific Railway, en-
gage his friend, Edward LOuderbach,
as an attorney. Lamar made his admis-
sion without hesitation, seeming to
think the matter a joke.
Yes | used the name of Represen-
tative Riordan" said Lamar, lin trying
to get into telephone communications
with Judge Lovett. The judge was not
there and so l did not talk with him
but l left message with his secre-
tary to the effect that Congressman
Riordan of New York thought that
Louderbach could be of very consider
able service to the Union Pacific in
settling the disputes growing out of
the dissolution of the Union Pacific
and the Southern Pacific. l stated that
Louderbach did not want money, he
simply wanted to offer his services as
friend"
Was a Frank Witness.
How did you happen to select the
name of Representative Riordan'
asked Chairman Overman.
ooh it just came to me" replied the
witness candidly. On being crossed by
| Senator Nelson, Lamar admitted that
| he had also used Riordan's name in at
| tempting to converse with Maxwell
Evart Evart was timid and his at
tempt was without success. The com
mittee wanted to know whether there
| were any other conversations in which
the names Of other Representatives
and senators were used.
81 do not remember any" replied La
mar, but l dare say if there were
some one will come forward and tell
about them"
Lamar denied that he had ever
threatened or that he had ever tried to
| bribe those with whom he talked when
impersonating a national legislator.
He said he tried to get Louderbach
retained as a Union Pacific attorney
| because he was sorry for Louderbach
who had the enmity of Kuhn Loeb &
Co. and Mortimer Schiss.
Also Used Palmer's Name.
Lamar finally said he talked over
the telephone to Lewis Cass Leddard
representing himself to be Represen
! tative Palmer of Pennsylvania. He
said he had no authority whatever tc
do this but confessed that he imper
! sonated Palmer because that member
was supposed to have great influence
with the new administration. He ther
described the coal strike of 1908.

SECOND FLY BILL
To Be PRESENTED
TO CITY COUNCIL
G. w. Jordan and DR.. King
Declare 1t Was Wrong
to Defeat Bill.
POLITICS PL AYED?

According to Charles w Jordan,
secretary of the Commercial club. an
other effort will be made to have
council pass a fly ordinance The orr
giual measure, sponsored by the Com
mercial club and drafted by DR.. ]. E.
King, county health officer, was de-
feated by council last Monday night
by a vote of to 4.
81 think council objected to the fly
ordinance because it was too drastic,
"Mr. Jordan stated today. 1--WE will
now ascertain the most Objectionable
features of the measure and prepare
the new ordinance without them. l
hope then that the ordinance viii go
through"
"It was wrong to defeat the ordi-
nance" stated DR.. King today. ''It is
necessary to have such legislation to
improve general health conditions.
"The measure was defeated for poll
tical reasons" DR.. King continued.
Mayor Zimmerman was afraid it
would injure his chances of re-elec-
ton"
An Excellent Measure.

ficer, while admitting that an ordi-
nance requiring the screening of man.
ure boxes, garbage, receptacles. etc,
and the removal of cess pools and 9TH
er insanitary places where flies breed,
would be a good thing for the commu-
nifty he did not criticise council for de-
feating the measure.
ITO enforce such an ordinance
now, said DR.. Davis" would be ex-
pensive for it would require the en-
ployment of two or three special Off.
GERS. The thing to do is educate public
opinion to the necessity of such legis'
lation and then provide it. If people
are Indifferent to such legislation they
will kick on the expense of it. If they
really want it they don't care what the
expense is. Right now Richmond peo
pie don't understand the importance
/, of a fly ordinance.
Mr.. Jordan is of the opinion that an
effective fly ordinance would prac,i
cally eliminate the evil in Richmond
81 have noticed that through the agen
Icy of the 'swatting movement alone
there has been a great decrease in the
number of flies the past two years
Right now in my office, with both win
dows wide open and no screens in
them I'll wager there are not a dozer
flies in the room. Two years ago the
room would have been filled with
them" he remarked.
He called attention to the fact thai
ion llx
driven out of every household and that
the sensible method of trapping then
out of doors was now in vogue.

was employed in fire works plant
and is we'll versed in the art of

GAS NEGOTIATIONS
ARE NOW GIN POINT
OF AN AGREEMENT
Concessions on Part Of City
and Company Probably
Will Be Made.
ACTION NOT HASTY
But Few Minor Changes Will
Be Made in Bond Draft
of Franchise.
ACTION NOT HASTY

Concessions on the part of the city
and the Allegheny Gas company have
brought the negotiations for natural
gas to the point of an agreement that
will probably be satisfactory to both
parties.
If the city is willing to make few
concessions requested by the Allie
gheny Gas company, Richmond will
be furnished with natural gas at 40
cents per thousand cubic feet for do
mestic consumers and at less price
If more than 5000 cubic feet is used
in any one month.
K. G.. Krick and Gus Condo, the rep
resentatives of the Allegheny Gas COM
pany, again met with the public serv-
ice corporation committee of the Com
merciaI club yesterday afternoon and
discussed the various sections to
which the company raised objections.
About week ago, City Attorney
Bond prepared a draft of a franchise
that would be satisfactory to the city
and submitted it to the gas company
for consideration. After a conference
of the officials of the company in Co
lumbus, Ohio, on Sunday, Mr.. krlck
and Mr.. Condo returned to Richmond
yesterday with a few notifications in
The proposed contract and stated that
the draft of the contract as submitted
would be the final proposition of the
company which the city must either
accept or reject.
For several hours yesterday after
noon and evening, City Attorney Bond
and the members of the Commercial
Club committee argued with the rep
resentatives of the gas company for
further concessions on the part of the
company, but with the exception of
few minor changes the representa-
tives of the company remained firm
in their stand that the proposition
either be accepted or rejected as 1t
stood. ..
Not to Act Hastily.
The committee did not desire to
take hasty action on the question and
requested the representative of the
company to give the committee until
this afternoon to make its decision.
The request was granted and Mr..
Krick and Mr. Condo returned to Co
lumbus and Marion with the under
standing that they would return this
afternoon and meet with the commit
tee for final action.
The draft of the contract which
was drawn by City Attorney William
A. Bond was as ''ironclad" as possi-
BILE. and a great many provisions were
put into the contract which the com
mittee would be willing to concede, if
necessary.
The contract as it now stands does
not differ materially from the way the
city attorney originally drew it, but
the few points thu hggere changed are
considered inEoof-SsIt if anything
should happen that would destroy the
power of the public utilities commits
sion of Indiana.
Commission Fixes Standard.
In the original draft the city at
torney provided for the city council
to have the authority to fix the stand

Address BY Governor.
Governor Ralston of Indiana said in
part:
This event my countrymsn is uni
que in the annals OF time. Nothing
comparable to it has preceded II In al
the ages, and Indiana, therefore,
makes public expression Of her appre-
citation of the efforts made and the
burdens assumed by those who have
given so freely of their time and mon
ey to make possible this reunion of the
blue and the gray. The federal gov
ernment has recognized the import
ance of this occasion and Indiana in
dorses the steps 1t has taken to make
| this meeting a success.
THE battle is fought; the bloodiest
three days contest in all warfare, has
| made Pennsylvania celebrated as the
| scene of matchless bravery and cou-
pied her name with the centuries to
come. All honor to the keystone state
for her great contribution of money
and moral purpose to defray the ex-
penses of this meeting, and the con-
spicuous part she has played in max
ing this event the symbol of the pub
lie desire for peace universal.
| IF it were possible to shift to an
other state the place of the battle
here fought between the sons of the
North and the sons of the South, the
wealth of the world would not tempt
Pennsylvania TO surrender these sites,
to give up the historic interests and
to forget the impressive lesson and
the sad sweet memories that cling
about the battle of Gettysburg.
There are something's yet in this
old world, thank God, whose value
cannot be measured by the dollar
sign.
Il dare not of course take the time
to recall the details of this battle or
rehearse at length the part Indiana
alone had in it; but yet on an occa-
sion like this feel that l would not
be justified in failing TO recite some
of the incidents of the struggle
The governor then went into a brief
history of some of the most notable
events of the battle.
