Tentative plans for tho raising Of
tho $4,000 for the Richmond Guest
House were explained at the meeting
Of the auxiliary of the organization
last evening at the Commercial club
rooms. Plans were formulated by the
board of directors and the campaign
will be waged on methods similar to
those used by other Institutions in the
city.
Albeit tho old Business College
building and grounds on North
Twelfth and 3 streets will be pur.
chtsed at the sum of $4,000, officers
of the society believe that at least
$1,000 will be required to rem odei the

additions to the dormitories.
The money raising campaign will
start about the first of next month and
will continue five days. In brief the
plans as arranged, so far, are: to Sc
lect names of 1900 men and women
in the city, who it is believed, will
contribute to the movement; the
names to be arranged alphabetically;
to elect fifteen captains to have charge
Of companies of ten women, each,
making $50 women to solicit the
funds; and detailing to each company
the work of calling on 100 or more
persons for financial subscriptions:
SeK-sustainins Problem.
Probably the biggest problem which
presents itself to the promoters OF
the Guest House project is to make
the institution as near self-sustaining
as possible. This question came in for
considerable discussion last evening
when Mrs George Chrisman, repre-
senting the Ladies Social Club of the
U. C. T. said that she was willing to
assist on the proposition, providing

DAMAGE OF $1,000
CAUSED BY BLAZE
Double House Was Occupied
by Harry Doan and Harry
Bentlage.

Fire Of unknown origin broke out
in the attic of the double house occu-
pied by Harry Doan and Harry Bent
lage at 1857 South A street this
morning, cutting the second story and
causing a loss estimated at $1,000.
The blaze had gained a good head
way before it was discovered. Fire
men found the second story Of the
house in flames. After a quarter of
an hours battle the fire was under
control.
Mrs. Bentlage. who discovered the
fire, said she had noticed the odor Of
smoke since early this morning. but
did not realize the fire was in the
house until shortly after 8 o'clock
when she started upstairs. At the
head of the stairway she saw flames
coming from the attic.
She notified the fire department,
which appeared a few minutes later
Chief Miller made an investigation
of the attic and second story of the
building. but was unable to ascertain
the cause of the blaze. The rooms
in which the fire started were plas-
tered and as no refuse was lying about
Chief Miller was unable to ascertain
the origin of the fire. 1t is believed
the fire started In a space between the
attics OF the two sides of the house
and had been in progress about two
hours before being discovered by Mrs
Bentlage.
The damage is partly covered by In
surance.
Early this morning No. l hose COM
pany was summoned to the home OF
James Combes, 217 North Thirteenth
street. Shingles ignited from sparks
from a chimney. The damage was

FOUNDATION WORK
NOW UNDER WAY
Central Christian Church
Tabernacle Will Be Built
of Concrete.

The foundation of the new Central
Christian church tabernacle to be
erected at Twelfth and North B streets
will be completed next week it was an
nounced today. Because of the popu-
larity of the 'sawdust' trail at the
Honeywell tabernacle, no floor will be
put in the Central Christian tabernacle
for at least six months.
The building is temporary, the de-
sign being to make it last five years,
when the church lease on the ground
expires. The pastor and congregation
expect them to be able to erect a large
church building.
The tabernacle will be built of con-
crete and although there will be no
floor, the building will be entirely mod
ern in every other respect. Excellent
sanitary equipment will be provided.
The moving of store building on
the corner delayed the work.

COMPLETES
PLAN OF PRIMARY
Supplies to be Given Precinct
Inspectors Next
Saturday.
VOTING PLACES NAMED

All plans for the Progressive pri-
mary next Monday have been made by
the county executive committee, of
which J. Clifford Price is chairman;
Roy Fry, secretary, and Edward War
TEL treasurer. Printing of the ballots
has been completed and various pre-
cinct inspectors will on Saturday re-
'cefve- their allotment of ballots as we'll
as other supplies. There will be q TO-
tai of thirty-one voting places in the
county, one less than at the last Re-
publican primary, the reduction being
due to the elimination of one precinct
in Center township, all voters to go to
the same place this time. While party
primaries do not as a rule get out
more than sixty per cent of the vote
recorded at a general election, the
Progressive committee feels that there
will be good vote polled in most
townships. The committee urges all
ProgressiveS to go to the polls Mon
day
Four out of fifteen townships will
have no township tickets in the field.
These are Abingdon Boston, jefferson
others there are candidates for trus-
tee and assessor. One change from
the usual program at primaries in
Wayne county, is the time of voting,
the county committee deciding that
the polls should be kept open later
in the evening than heretofore has
been the custom. In consequence the
rule established calls for the opening
ofthe polls at 6 o'clock in the morning
and the closing hour, I o'clock in the
evening.
Fixes Voting Precincts.
The list of voting precincts as es-
tablished by the Progressive commit
tee follows:
The Townships of Abingdon, Bos-
ton, Clay. Center, Dalton. Greene. Har-
rison. Jefferson, New Garden, Perry.
Washington and Webster, shall each
form a voting precinct. the voting
place in each to be as usually located
at primary elections.
Franklin township shall be divided
into two precincts, the voting place OF
Precinct No. ! to be at Bethel: Pre-
cinct No. 2 at Whitewater.

"a shortcut to solve the liquor traf-

When factory fails as an asset to a
community it is closed and why not
apply the same action to the factory
which turns out finished product, the

This was the solution of the liquor
question propounded to fully $500 per-
sons at the Tabernacle last night by
the Rev. Madison Swadener, of Indi-
annapolis, associate superintendent of
the Anti-Saloon League of Indiana.
When County Evangelist Edgar l.
Williams declared, IF we can federate
the church force in Wayne county, it
will be matter Of only weeks until the
county will be freed from the curse of
the liquor traffic." his statement was
greeted with ringing applause.
Strike At System.
THE temperance people are not mar

men out OF the business" argued the
Rev. Swadener. They are after the

a great wave of public consciousness
is sweeping over the country and in it's

WILSON MEN FIGHT
AS|AT|C EXCLUSION
Secretary Bryan Gives Warn.
ing Against Arousing
JingOes of Japan.
PROMISES A SOLUTION

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Defnite
and final refusal on the part of the
Wilson administration to consider an
Asiatc exclusion legislation during
the present congress was the burden
of the statement given to the house
immigration committee today by Sec
retary Of State Bryan. For more than
an hour he set forth to the members
of the committee under oaths of Sc
crecy the relations existing and the
possible future complications between
the United States and Japan, and CALI
ed upon the members of the commit
tee to refuse to consider in any way
the Baker bill or similar exclusion
measures.
When he left the room only Repre-
sentatives Baker and Hayes of Cali
fornia We're opposing him. The Re-
publican members of the committee
were seriously concerned as were the
Democrats before the secretary had
finished his recital. Representative
Johnson of Washington, who was
among the most violent opponents of
Asiatic immigration, refused to make
any comment on the turn affairs have
taken.
Considers Agitation Dangerous:
Chairman Burnett of the committee
appeared much elated at the effects
of Bryan's talk. The secretary is un-
derstood to have told the committee
that the United States is in no con-
dition to arouse the jingoes of Japan,
and that it was merely the part of
common sense and patriotism to main
tain the present agreement until SEN
timent in Japan should change. In
this view the majority of the mem
berS of the committee concurred.
Bryan is also reported to have told
the committee that he was certain to
reach an agreement with Japan on
the issue raised by the California alien
land law il no new obstacle to such
a settlement is created by congress
He said he was on the best possible
terms with the Japanese ambassador
and had every reason to think that
negotiations now pending would re-
move any possible cloud which might
rest upon the friendship between the
American and Japanese people.

Ing, extending over twenty years, and
In 1881 he was made a general. He
organised the general staff of the
Observation-Disclosures army with such
success as to excite the admiration of
all Europe. AS a hobby he took up
locomotive engineering and received a
diploma as a full fledged railroad
engineer. He was said to enjoy moth
ing so much as running an engine. He
also became recognized as one of the
best shots in his country, and the walls
or the great chateau at Konopischt
were hung with the antlers of some
1000 stays and chamois, as we'll as
the heads of tigers killed in India, the
tusks Of elephants slain In Ceylon, and
the pelts Of bears shot in the Rocky
mountains.
His visit to the United States was
made in 1892, at the time of the
worlds fair in Chicago. He made a
diary of the trip, which continued
around the world, and which is an in
teresting piece of travel literature,
displaying shrewd comments of ap-
probation Of things he saw and did.
He thought this globe-touring would
especially contribute to his education
as a future monarch.
He also wrote two volumes Of AL
pine poetry, and put on paper for the
first time many of the old melodies Of
his native Syria.
His admirers insist that his life was
slngularly free from scandal. with the
exception Of an infatuation for a for
mer Bohemian countess. While she
belonged to one Of the most ancient
noble families Of Bohemia. her birth
rank was far below that Of the i'm
perial house of the Austrian Haps-
burgs. Under the Hapsburg law, no
member of the imperial family can be
married without the consent of the
sovereign.
AS the emperor's neI.hew and heir
apparent, Francis F~erdinand's love af-
fairs had been closely watched. BY
arrangement Of the Austrian cabinet
he was to become bethrothed to a
princess Of Saxony, but so uncompro-
missing was his refusal that the mat
ter was dropped. He had fallen in
love with the former Bohemian coun
tess. then maid of honor to the wild
owed Crown Princess Stephanie. For
nine years this attachment was a sub
ject of gossip in Vienna. When his
uncle, the emperor, protested against
PLANS for marriage, the archduke re-
minded him of his previous advice.
Il heard you once say" he repeated
that In choosing a wife an emperor
should pay no attention to politics
and should follow the impulse OF his
own heart" This was a chapter out
OF Francis Joseph's own life.
Francis Ferdinand ~stubbornly re-
sisted the nine years of opposition or
! the part Of the emIeror. When he

married he answered all arguments
with the reply:
THE Austrians would not like to
see an unhappy man on the throne"
There was no question but that the
two were deeply in love, and contin-
ued so. Francis Joseph, however, was
never pleased with his nephew's con-
duct. But he gave his imperial con-
sent to the marriage upon condition
that the archduke strictly observe the
Ha1.sburg laws and never attempt to
place his morganatic wife on the
throne, or establish the right of sue
Cession to his children. He also ele-
waited the wife to the title Of Princess
Of Hohenberg.
The terms of the archduke's oath
were explicit and binding. They set
"ebenbuertige," or to one highly born.
The oath concluded as follows:
1--WE pledge our word that we
recognize for all time the present
declaration, of whose significance and
scope we are fully conscious, boil for
us and our wife, and for our children
by this marriage n that we never
will attempt to revoke this, our pres
ent declaration, nor undertake any
thing calculated to enfeeble or to
abrogate the binding force there
Of"
The precise meaning of this solemn
Remuneration is viewed somewhat diff
ferently in Austria n in Hungary.
In Austria it's force Is thought to de-
pend largely upon the provisions OF
the mysterious Hapsburg family law,
hitherto most jealousy kept secret. II
is known. however, that the emperor
as sovereign head of the family has
very far reaching authority, but
whether he himself is bound by he
family law or is superior to 1t. and
whether he can alter the law alone,
or with the consent Of the family in
council assembled, are all questions
which nobody outside the members of
the family can answer. Then again
how far the Hapsburg family law Is
binding pom h Austrian state Is an
ether question.
In Hungary, however. the whole
matter was entirely different. The
Hungarians recognize no such thing as
morganatic marriages. With them a
marriage Is a marriage, and the law
full wife Of their king is their queen.
Both Francis Ferdinand and his wife
were devout Catholics, even to the
Point of fierce contention to the faith
| end tenets of the church Of Rome.
Before the death of Rudolph had clear
ed his way for the succession to the
throne Francis Ferdinand was known
as the defender and supporter Of The
clerical party, and this party conse-
quently nourished the highest hopes
for it's future under his rule.

CROWD SETS ON
POLICE OFFICER
MORE THAN A HUNDRED MEN AND
BOYS ENGAGED IN SMALL-STzED
RIOT NEAR SOUTH BRIDGE WHEN
BOY REsIsTs ARREsT-MANY AR
RESTS EXPECTED.

A small-sized riot occurred late yes
terday afternoon or lower Front street
when officer Charley Anderson at
tempted to arrest a boy for using pro-
fame language on the streets. AS a re-
suit Leonard Briggs, a transient. young
man, is under arrest charged with COM
hitting an assault upon the person OF
an officer in the discharge of his duty.
Briggs will appear before Judge Han
son in county court this afternoon to
answer the charge.
The boy whom officer Anderson at
tempted to arrest resisted. Bystanders,
many Of whom were idle laborers max
ing lower Front street their headduar-
ters, interfered. Anderson raped
with his stick on the pavement for
assistance. Briggs was among the men
who interfered. He is said to have
struck Anderson in the face. Before
assistance came and the police had con-
troll of the situation, more than a hum
dred men and boys were engaged in
the attempt to take the boy away from
Anderson.
Citizens came to Anderson's aid. The
boy will have his trial in the juvenile
court. Officer Anderson was not badly
hurt. AS a result of the trouble many
arrests are expected.
