SOL CAHEEN UNBURDENS HIMSELF TO REPORTER
 ON VARIOUS SUBJECTS
Thinks Age-Herald Is Great and Constructive Newspaper Moving Pictures Need of the Birmingham Should Get Busy and Induce Henry Ford to Locate One of His Fac- tories Here

could put the proposition up to him in an intelligent manner"
 But all that aint got a thing to do with Sunday pictures, pleadingly from the dimpled one.
 Well, my dear' kindly from Sol, 'I can't do anything about tho Sunday pic- tures'
 Why can't you, MT. Sol?''
 Because--well, because I'm a business man and not a city commissioner.
 Why don't you run for commissioned everybody else s.'
 Yep, it's certainly n sad little mara thon. but some folks have to get their names in the papers somehow. so they might just as we'll get 1t in by announcing themselves as candidates for city com missioner as any other way, such as knocking a fellow on the head and other stunts too indelcate to mention"
 What do you think of moving pie tures?" aueried the reporter, injecting new life into the discussion.
 "Oh, some pictures are good, others bad" said Sol. Personally, | like the problem pictures-the ones that make you think. I am not very strong for the spoony' style of pictures"
 Liked Damaged G0odgs''
 How did you like Damaged Goods 9 l" he was asked.
 "Fine; it was a great picture" was the enthusiastic reply. Ut taught a great lesson. But, no, I take that back, No picture, no book, play, nor anything but the actual experience can teach q. damphool any sense. When l see pictures like Damaged Goods I think the whole system of things Is ali wrong. And sonc- times think that to obviate much of this sort of thing young men should marry between the age of Is and 20 years to girls slightly younger.
 But even that system has it's draw backs" continued Sol. By the time a man would be 90 years old and married. say 10 years, his wife would have lost her girlish lines of beauty So on tho whole l think the Mormons have tho best scheme. A man should really have at least five wives"
 'Why, MT. Sol. shame on you for a crusty old bachelor talking that way" sharply interrupted the blue-eyed suffra- gette.
 Let's get away from this Joan d Arc" smiled Sol and as he strolied leisurely toward the entrance of the store he suddenly reached into an inside pocket and brought forth a memorandum book
 Look here" he said. 'All this I'll Toro about prosperity is slightly con- frmed by these figures. which is tho amount of my increased business in the past month (the reporter saw figures that he would have considered a fortune(, "Of course this is confidential information" added Sol
 But I didn't get my interview" com- p'ained the reporter.
 'H-l, you didn't" laughed Sol. Here. I've run through whole galnut of topics from the merits of The Age-Hcraid to Mormonism. Young man. you ought to be able to write q book on what I've talked about

COLUMBUS MAN
 MAKES REMARKABLE
 TRIP IN SUBMARINE

Columbus, Miss, November 4--(Special) II. s. Hickey. son of George Hickey. Sr., who resides at 1701 South Fifth avenue, this city, is a member of the crew Of the submarine IS-3 which was one of the fleet which recently made the remarkable trip from San Francisco to Honolulu. The submerged boats made the trip under their own power, the first time in the his tory of the navy that such a feat was ever accomplished.
 MT. Hickey is in receipt of a letter from his son in which he gives brief but interesting account of the trip. On account of the limited area of the water line there is little opportunity for ex- ercise in the open air. while the fact that it was necessary to carry an unus- ually large quantity of supplies made the available space for lounging in the in terior quarters decidedly meager.

ments out It would certainly save us men a lot of money. The minute the women read an advertisement in the morning paper they want to go right down and buy the stun they see ad- vertised.
 T don't mind my wife reading the afternoon papers, because when she sleeps over it and figures during the night the amount of money she has to spend she gets out of the notion of spending 1t by next morning. Tho bargain news has cooled off in her brain. But when she reads the things advertised in The Age-Herald in the morning, she makes bee-line for downtown.
 Keep the morning paper away from your wife, is my advice. But, for good ness sake, don't let my wife or my neighbours wives know that I said this.'

JEFFRIES GETS
DECISION over
CUBAN ''WoNDER"
Local Boy Shows Class by
Defeating Cincinnati Vet
eran of Many a Hard
Fought Contest.
eY SAM viGRAN.

Before crowd estimated at six hun
dred people the boxing season was
opened at Eagles hall last night with
one of the best balanced shows ever
seen in Richmond.
Billy Benson put on an all star card
and every fight was bitterly contested.
To say that this was an all star card
Is not enough, as all the boys were
top notchers and kept the blood ting
ling every minute they were in the
ring.
In the main 60, Ray Jeffries showed
he is coming and coming fast by stop
ping the Cuban Wonder of Cincinnati,
a veteran of many battles. and a man
who fights OF reyery inch of ground he
gives.
Stats" Gusweller of Cincinnati. and
Young Goodman of NCovington, put up
an interesting eight round contest that
was given to Stats" on points by the
referee.
Sent to Corner. ~
Jack Cronin of Muncie, stopped Kid
Leo OF Cincinnati in the third round
.of an eight round go. Referee Diddle-
book sent Leo to his corner in order
to avert a knockout and his action
met with the approval of the crowd
for it was apparent that the boy was
all in and could not last.
Jeff" started out like a winner in
the first two rounds of the main go.
He did most of the leading and gained
an early lead by clever work with a
straight cross and a left hook with
q haymaker in it. .-...-..
The third round was even, both bat
tiers giving and taking sharp blows,
the Cuban getting in a good whack
once in while. .
Cuban Slows Up.
The fifth saw the Cuban boy slow
UP considerable, but "Jeff's" strong
blows were beginning to tell. In the
sixth, with fussilade of left jabs,
hooks and crosses, Jeff had the
Cuban groggy and only the bell saved
him.
The Cuban came up pretty spry in
the seventh and for half minute both
boys sought an opening and Jeff
suddenly started that left hook and
followed with the right cross. Both
blows landed effectively Jeff" kept
up his advantage with a singing
uppercut and sent the Cuban through
the ropes dazed and helpless The
referee then stopped the fight as 1t
was useless to let the Cuban take
further punishment.
Kid Goodman and Stats" Gusweller
certainly kept the crowd going" in
the sem-final, Stats doing most of
the leading, but his punches lacked
steam, while Goodman who is a master
at covering up and blocking only de-
livered when he saw an opening,
When his blows landed there was
force behind them.
Jack Cronin, the Muncie boy, show
ed his colors to the crowd when he
beat Kid Leo in every round, having
things all his own way. The referee
stopped the bout in the third round.

COACH DRILLS
QUAKER SQUAD
TO CREATE PEP

Recognizing that lots of pep and a
fast. determined offensive has char
acteriZed the play of the Earlham foot
ball eleven for several years, Coach
Whitesides started work this week to
fill every man with brand of fight
ing ginger. The players are being
driven at pace hitherto unknown on
Reid field. The teamwork is showing
decided improvement. Fumbling,
which proved SO disastrous in the Wit
tenberg game, was due, Coach believes
to nervousness of the green men, but,
nevertheless he is teaching the men
to hold to the pigskin as If they had
glue on their hands.
When the team colldes with the
strong Kentucky State line at Lexing
ton next Saturday it will go up against
a strong team which has been in the
habit of sound drubbing to the Qua
kers each year. With the new pep
that is taking hold of the men, and
increased confidence of the new men
in their own ability, the team should
make much better showing than the
men who journeyed to the Blue Grass
state last year.
Castle, who was an allstate high
school basketball star. is showing the

position where he is handling the for
ward pass like a veteran. This boy
will prove the find of the season if he
continues to show the class he has
led off with. With Bruner at the other
extremity for a running man, the for
mer basketball star should be able to
negotiate the necessary yards when
the team is hard pressed.
Wildman at guard has plugged up
hole through which Wittenberg made
most of it's gains last Saturday.
All the men are in good condition,
and were in suits last night, having
suffered no serious injuries.

not blossom out into a prosperous or

Richmond needs an athletic club
and now that interest in It is aroused
it seems to be the proper time to take
definite action.

favorable or otherwise, the idea Is to

A New Monument

O'Toole Bros. of Liberty, Ind,
have the contract for replacing the
Rev. Father McMullen monument
in st. Mary's cemetery, this city,
and are this week removing the
statuary group and cleaning the
foundation of the old granite ped
estal, preparatory to placing the
new memorial which will be erect
ed in the early spring.
The present memorial was erect
ed several years ago by firm

let pedestal, owing to faulty con-
struction, has been in badly dam
aged condition for some time.
O'Toole Bros. have also just COM
pleted the Joaquin Miller memorial
tablet, the unwilling of which will
take place in the near future.

Yours truly,
A SPORT LOVER.

The above letter has been received
by the Sporting Editor of the Pallad-
ium from man who has done every
thing possible to advance the interests
OF the different sporting events that
are held in Richmond.
He favors the organization of such
a club and in conversation with the
writer declared that he would not hest
tate to put up his money to back the
movement.
Naturally the formation of such an
organization is in its infancy, but it
is believed that there are enough
people in Richmond who are interest
ed in sporting matters to join the club
and make it success.
Mayor Promises Aid.
Mayor Robbins stated at the ban
quet of the S. A. L., last Friday night
that the city administration and he
personally was willing to do whatever
they could to help on this matter and
he will keep his word.
Alfred Bavis, president of the Board
of Public Works pledged his support
and as he is man who has proven
that he takes deep interest in the
open air exercises and sports of all
kinds it is certainty that he will aid
in every way possible.
G. w. Jordan, president of the Ger
man-American bank is another man
who can be counted on to do his best
to assist the organization if it is
started and with men of the calibre
of those mentioned there is no reason

e. p, RIPLEY.

E. p. Ripley, president of the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad, to-
day is rounding out the SEVENTEEN
year of a busy and successful life,
nineteen years of which have been
spent in the service of the company
whose destinies he guides. The ami
versary of his birth is being celebrated
at the Blackstone hotel in Chicago
with a banquet given in his honor by
his friends and business associates.
Mr.. Ripley undertook the direction
of the Santa Fes affairs at a time
when it had but recently emerged
from a receivership and under his
management the system has grown to
be one of the greatest pieces of rail-
way property in the world.
E. P. Ripley was born in Dorchester,
Mass, October 80, 1S45. In 1928 he
entered railway service with the Star
Union line, as contracting agent,
Boston. Since that time he has been
consecutively from October 1, 1870, to
1872, clerk to the general eastern
agent, Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad; 1872 to 1875, New England
agent; 1875 to 1878, general eastern
agent; 1878 to 1887, general freight
agent; 1887 to 1888, traffic manager;
1888 to 1890, general manager; 1890 to
January I, 1896, third vice president.
On the latter date he became presi-
dent of the Santa Fee.
One great hobby of Mr.. Ripley's is
harmony" He is a partizan of the
plan of cooperation between the rail-
road companies and the people. He
has always urged that the officials
and the business men get acquainted
in order to create a better feeling and
understanding between them.
1t has been the good fortune of but
few men, in similar positions to so
endear themselves to the men and
women in their employ and to the
public.
A deep insight into railroad condi-
lions is one of President Ripley's as
sets. In a recent article and in in
terviews published for several years,
he has declared that government own
ership of railroads is bound to come
unless the legislatures, congress and
commissions change some of their
tactics.

I'm SO glad you're here. because you
can explain"
Just then the old knocker sounded
again. Patch it up any way, Con-
stance whispered, "only don't tell him
who you are. This is such a gossipy
place" Then she vanished behind the
portieres and listened.

better get on to your job. Do you

but there wasn't any one at the
station house to send when the lady
'phoned, and-and@'
well, I'm not finding fault with
you personally, captain" said Bruce,
"but it was a mighty slim way to treat
you don't mean to say that they sent
you up here alonel Well, that is a fine
way to do business. A lot of good one
man could have done with a tough
like that"
Then you saw him ?" queried the
"How could I? Just got here my
self and found my mother and my sis
ter in a dreadful state of excitement.
But it's all right now said Bruce,
handing him a five dollar bill. Heres
the price of a cigar for you. You'll
find it worth while not to report this
case; dye understand? Say, you might
tell the boss some time, when you
think of it, that he'll never catch many
burglars sending out one man at a
time"
WELL" explained the policeman,
we've had SO many false alarms this
summer, that whenever a lady calls us
up in the night, it's ten to one it's only
a mouse. Ladies is very apt to be
mistaken, I find.''
you're right there, captain, but
this time it was the real thing and no
doubt about it Good night" ne said,
closing the door. Good luck
