VOTE STANDING THIS MORNING SHOWS REMARKABLY CLOSE
 RACE BETWEEN LEADERS.
ALL WORKING EARNESTLY
With the Close of the Contest Only Two Days Away, There Is Splen- did Activity Among the Real
 Contenders for the Piano.

The leaders in tine Sentlnei-Rec- ord's piano voting contest are we'll punched this morning and the lndi- cations for a close finish on the final day, as predicted several days ago. looks as though they wou q be justified.
 At this time it is anybody's race. Despite indictment weather condi- tions, which interferred with the work last week, one contestant seems to have been handicapped about as much as another, and the real con tenders in the race have renamed close together throughout.
 In order to simplify the race the Sentinel-Record has dropped all can didates who had less than 1000 votes, leaving only the real workers in the contest, with a clear field for their work, and the result has been appar- ent. With a number of the minor candidates eliminated 1t has brought the leaders more support, and at the same time has not taken from the race anyone who was really making an effort to win the piano.
 The contest will close at 12 o'clock, midnight, Wednesday, January l5. The judges will have been named by that time. The names of the three judges have not yet been fully de- cided upon. The Sentinel-Record has list of more than dozen local business men, none of whom have any interest in the race, and none of whom have contributed in any way to the support of any candidate in the race. Those chosen will be men who have no choice of candidates and no interest in the contest, other than to see that the lady with the highest number of votes will win the piano.
 These men will be asked to take charge of the ballot box on the final day, canvass the vote and declare the winner. Upon receipt of their find ing the SentinelRecord will deliver the piano to the lucky winner, the writing desk and cash winnings to. the lady having the second largest number of votes, and the cash win. sin ngsss gss te all who have earned such prizes by their work.
 The vote standing will be an in- teresting feature of each mornings paper and will be watched with in- terest from now until the close of the contest.

nection, however, that the Burns de- tectives are seldom heard from in any community until they come out with proof for the courts, and it would be a severe handicap here If their pres ence was positively known.
 It is hinted that even the fact that Fox let 1t out that he had sent for Burns men, after he was victlmized, was a handicap, and that later it was stated that no Burns men were here.
 Attorney John Hickey, of Terre Haute, representing Fox, yesterday was busy wiea his case. Several con ferences were held with local counsel, Martin and Wooten, and there were several conferences at the Majestic hotel, some strangers being in those conferences.
 Attorney w. H. Martin left yester- day for Indianapolis. The purpose oi his mission was not stated. He said he would be back in the city within few days, and in ample time to take up the prosecution in the preliminary hearing of the accused men before Justice Hardy Hinton next Friday morning.

POLICE
Arrest Man-..Had Committed
No OffenSe

Chief of Police P. ]. Parker made
an arrest Thursday morning that had
about it rather amusing features. He
was standing on the corner of South
Main and Gambler streets when a
man ran past him going east on
Gambler street. Close behind the
fleeing man was Officer Alsdorf who
shouted for the chief to stop the man
he was pursuing. Taking UP the pur-
sut, Chief Parker chased the man to
Blackberry alley where he turned
south. An order to halt was unheed-
ed and then the chief drew his revol-
yer and fired into the ground. The
man stopped so quickly that his move
ment was rather ridiculous and
meekly submitted to arrest. He was
placed in Jail on a charge of suspi-
cion. The man lives in Mt. Vernon
and is employed in one of the local
factories. He was really guilty of no
offense at the time of his arrest but
the police chased him just because he
ran. He was released from custody
, shortly after being arrested.

Y. M. C. A. TEAM WON

The Mt. Vernon Y. M. C. A. football
team decisively defeated Bellville at
Riverside park Thanksgiving morn
ing by a score of 81 to o. The Y. M.
C. A. team went to Bellville few
weeks ago and played to tie but
several stars were added Thursday
and the result shows for itself. The
team was made up mainly Of old high
school stars.
The principal performers for Mt.
Vernon on the offense were "Tart"
Sapp, Reeder and Vance. Reeder and
Vance were on last years Mt. Vernon
high school team while Sapp starred
at halfback on Columbus North high
school few years ago. All of the
payers were Mt. Vernon lads.
Bellville had no chance against the
locals at any time and were nearly
always on the defensive. The great
running of Sapp and Vance and the
remarkable interference work Of
Reeder were the main features. SapI
seldom was stopped by one man ant
such occasions were usually the faul
of the slippery field. Had the Y. M
C.. A. team had an opportunity to b'
together all season, they would have
presented a front that only the bes
of teams would care to face. While
the team, on the whole, was not wei
conditioned, all of the players CAM
out of the game with nothing NOR
serious than sick stomachs and ovel
tested muscles.
The crowd that witnessed the col
test was a great deal larger than ha
been expected and the matter of mai
ing expenses occasioned no worry.
