YOU CANNOT "CUSS"
OUR POLICE OFFICERS
frank Wade Pays So and
Costs to Learn This Fact in
Police Court.

You can cuss most any Richmond
policeman three times and he will
take the words as a personal grudge,
but when you blaspheme the fourth.
nth or even the sixth time then it is
a public offense. and the chances are
one thousand to one that the guard
ian Of the public will lodge you in
jail on the charge Of profanity.
This was proved in police court to-
day when Frank Wade was hailed into
the presence of Mayor Robbins on the
charge Of profanity. Wade was ar
rested yesterday afternoon by Patrol
man Vogelsong, suspected of stealing
a horse blanket
Wade began some CARNATIONS Of the
tongue, and three times Policeman
Vogelsong let the works in one ear
fourth curse issued forth then Wade
was arrested on a charge Of profan-
fly. Wade even though he was vast
ing his cursing on a common officer,
SO when he was taken before Chief
Goodwin he repeated some favorite
"blanky blank" expressions
Mayor Robbins fined Wade 50 and
costs. Wade mortgaged his horse and
buggy so that he could pay the fine.

Recalcitrant Legislator Told
to Get Back Into Fold and
Fight for Success of the
Party.
CONGRESSMAN TAKES
! NSURGENT TO TASK
raggart's Enemy Resigns
From Club and Declares
Persistent Fight Against
Former Speaker Cook.
BY w. r. PoUNDsroNE.

Earl T. Crawford, of Washington
township, joint representative from
Wayne and Fayette counties in the
past general assembly. who has just
Jumped the Democratic reservation
and is on the warpath against Tag
gartism, was the center Of interest at
the Democratic district convention at
Cambridge City yesterday. He held
Aloof from participation in the pro-
seedlings, being contented with the role
pf interested spectator.
Before and after the convention
Democratic leaders took turns backing
the rebellious legislator into corners,
explaining to him that he was making
a mistake. and urging him to get back
into the fold, but carefully refraining
to offer as an inducement his renomin-
nation as joint representative. Such
a bait could not be used to angle for
Crawford, because the ban has been
clamped upon him at Indianapolis.
Crawford was a patient listener, but
stood pat on his determination to re-
main outside the Democratic breast
works SO he could be in position to
wage effective war on all Taggart can
didates to be nominated for legisla-
tive offices, and to follow the open
trail OF Homer Cook, candidate for Sec
rotary of state, whose scalp Crawford
would prize mighty highly.
Gray and Crawford.
Following his denomination Repre-
sentative Finly Gray descended the
steps of the Hurst opera house yes
Iterday afternoon, wendell his way
through an admiring throng of fol-
flowers, until his eyes rested upon
Crawford He halted abruptly, frown-
ed slightly, then beckoned Crawford
to retire with him to the questionable
fseclusion of a store entrance.
! After the conference Representative
Gray was asked his opinion of Craw-
lords action in fracturing the recently
iesta blished party harmony in Wayne
county by launching factional war
FMr. Gray frowned again, and then sug.
gested that maybe Mr.. Crawford was
mot a Democrat; that he might be a
Bull Moose; that he was panied and
,surprised over the course Mr.. Craw.
ford was pursuing.
'T merely discussed a little business
with Mr.. Gray" said Crawford. Then
The reiterated his determination to
wage relentless war against all legis
lative candidates tainted with Taggart
ism. So firm was the position he had
taken on matters that it was reported
that even his fathers efforts to have
him reconsider his action met with
failure.
Resigns from Club.
The real sensation came when Pres

See That April IL is Given
Proper Observance.
PRAISES GLEN PARK.
Starting With May 1 Thous-
ands of Visitors Will Pour
Into Richmond Every Sum

That Arbor day is business
bringer. is the statement of promi-
nent local business man. made today.
He declared that persistent observ-
ance of the day in the right manner
would bring results to town and con-
sequently these results would mean
money in the bank Aside from show
ing of civic spirit, he said, there were
many reasons why the trees and
day.
THE most attractive and most
prosperous cities are those which
show the best public parks. and be-
heve Richmond is in this class, judy
ing alone from Glen Miller park, one
of the largest natural parks in this
section of the country. In addition to
this we have smaller parks scattered
throughout the city. These parks
should be improved not only by plant
ing and cultivating better flower beds
but by the proper care of old trees and
the planting of new trees.
This gives evidence that the peo-
pie of the city are alert. And that
they are keenly appreciative Of the
comfort of living. These things re-
fleet the fact that the people of a
community are progressive. and with
civic progress comes business pros
perity.
"A we'll kept town says on the face
of it. A desirable element of people
are in control of civic affairs In this
town. and this Is a magnet which
draws desirable people here A farm

Clean streets are necessary but good
shade trees are also demanded.
During the last few years. Rich

and boulevards but we realize that
this not only brings material comfort,
that it Is not only q pleasure to the
eye, but that it also augers for bust

lead In the observance Of Arbor day. "
