For the first time in it's history,
Richmond came up smiling and we'll
after having plunged with the rest of
the country into the patriotic celebra-
tion of the Fourth of July. Only two
accidents neither of them serious
were reported during the two or three
days devoted to the explosion of small
bombs, the crack Of torpedoes and
the lighting of fireworks.
Roy Engeltert, IA year old son of
Frank H. Engelbert, cigar manufac-
turer, 400 South Tenth street, was &C.
cidentally shot with a rifle by his
companion, Wayne Boswell, about 3
o'clock Monday afternoon.
Marksman Slips.
Boswell, in preparing to fire at a
mark on South Tenth street, slipped
in some manner and the bullet, "22"
short, entered Engelbert's right thigh.
The wound inflicted was painful but
not likely to cause serious condi-
tion. 1t was arranged to send the boy
to the hospital this afternoon when
the bullet was probed.
The fourteen year old son of John
A. Evans, 1925 Main street, sustained
a wounded cheek and eye yesterday.
He was playing with companions who
were lighting firecrackers and throw.
ing them to hear them explode in the
air. One of the children attempted
the trick and the firecracker slipped
from his hand exploding near the
boys face Tfe wound is not serious.
Several physicians reported scorch-
ed eyebrows, burnt fingers and boys
aud girls who were considerably more
frightened than hurt in near-accidents.

MlNEOLA, l.. l., July 6.-Frank
Holt, the man who shot j. Pierpont
Morgan and exploded dynamite bomb
In the capitol at Washington, tried to
commit suicide today, but his attempt
was foiled by the vigilance Of the
guards.
Extracting the rubber from a lead
pencil, Holt bent the tin holder into
a sharp point with his teeth and at
tempted to cash himself and open an
artery. The improvised weapon was
taken away from him before the pris-
oner could do himself any serious
harm.

charge of the Jail in the absence Of the
warden, admitted that the prisoner Is
in a bad way both physically and men.

his arrest and was warned today by
District Attorney Smith that unless he
consented to eat soHd food he would
be taken to the hospital and forcibly
fed. Holt objected to going to the
hospital, saying he was satisfied with
the treatment he was receiving.
After the prisoners attack on him
self, his person and cell were strip
ped Of everything that he might use
as a weapon in an effort to take his
life. The wound inflicted in his wrist
was very light.
Two attempts were made during the
morning to identify him as Eric Muen-
ter, the former Harvard professor,
who fled to Mexico from Cambridge
after killing his wife. The following
telegram was received by Holt from
his wife at Dallas:
Have best council here. Advised
to rest and wait; you must do the
same. Send loving greetings hourly.
Beautiful tributes paid to you in both
evening papers here. I am caring for
details of finances. come when you
need me. Do not be afraid"
When the warden entered Hollis
cell this morning with breakfast the
prisoner said he was not hungry. His
face was drawn and pale and his eyes
were sunken.
At times the prisoners broken
nerves caused him to cry out frenzied-
ly. At other time he wept or moaned
to himself: "Oh, God, please let me
die"

RUSSIANS DIVIDED.

BERLIN, July 6.-Late reports from
the eastern theatre of state that the
Russian forces have been split near
Krasnik, Poland, east of the Vistula
river, one part meing driven east and
the other northwest. Lublin, Ivango-
rod and Warsaw are threatened by the
Auetro.0 German forces. says semi
official announcement issued here to-
day.
All the later dispatches increase the
belief that the morale of the Russians
has been badly shattered. The Rus
sian losses in killed and wounded are
far outnumbered by the prisoners
taken by the Teutonic armies.
The Russian commander-in-chief is
bending his utmost energy to resist In
the incessant pursuit. using his best
troops, but all in vain. He has been
unable to check the AustroGerman
onslaught. All the attempts of the
Russians to break through the Rus
sian front between the Pruth and the
Dniester rivers have failed. the Over
sea News agency announced today.
The agency's announcement contin-
ues: Liberated Austrians said Ger
man prisoners report the Russians
have used heavy naval guns from
Kronstadt and have robbed other fort
resses Of guns to be taken to the front.
This has practically destroyed the re-
sistance power of the fortresses. they
being weakened by the lack Of artil-
lery.
"The same agency also states that
the French and English troops have
suffered fearful losses in the fighting
about Arras and La Bassee, one regi-
ment alone losing 3,400 men out OF
4,200.

You all know that soon after the
Revolutionary war began there was a

was called Monticello. This young

The first annual picnic Of the
Wayne County Old Trails Road asso-
citation exceeded the fondest dreams
Of the men who worked long and hard
to make the venture a success.
Old residents said that not in the
history of Wayne county had there
been such q gathering from all parts
of the county as assembled In the old
county seat to voice. approval OF a
movement to have the government
take over and build the old National
road. Many "reminiscences of old days
were recalled, and the historic setting

events that are old in the history Of
the state.
comstock PIeases.
Judge Comstock, who occupied q
place on the stage with the speakers,
made one of the happy speeches OF
The day when he recalled incidents OF
old times. Himself of old pioneer stock
and one of the old residents OF the
county, his speech found particular
favor with the crowd, and was today
commented on by many Of the old
residents. 1t will be printed in full in
tomorrow's issue of the Palladium.
a. Wants Better Roado.
p Addison G. Harris of Indianapolis,
q native of this county, now dean Of
the legal profession at Indianapolis,
delivered stirring address In which
he pointed out that the justice Of the
government taking over the National
road, building and maintaining it. Mr..
Harris came of pioneer stock of Wayne
county and interpreted his address
with many anecdotes Of early days In
this part of Indiana.
Mr.. Harris said he travelled over the
counties and found them better than
some roads in the parks Of American
cities. This he attributed to govern
ment ownership Of the highways in
foreign lands. He laid emphasis on
the necessity Of highways as means OF
communication.
Reverting to the propriety of the
government taking over the National
road, Mr.. Harris said that this could
be done with as much justice to the
whole country az the government now
builds dams in the Ohio river to aid
transportation. He believed that the
National road Is one Of the main high
ways Of travel and ought to be put in
a high state Of perfection. Comment.
ing on the change Of conditions, he
pointed out that the automobile had
supplanted the buggy. Mr.. Harris
counted only three Of these vehicles
on the National road to Centerville
yesterday.
! Pledge Support.
A resolution pledging support to the
cause was passed as follows:
Let US resolve here and now that
We will not cease our efforts until we
have built the open road as national
thoroughfare from ocean to ocean as
a memorial to the brave pioneers who
built out Of the vast territory the
magnificent states of the Middle West,
which gave to use some of our great
est and best men and women; and
gave 1t as q national good will to this
and oncoming generations. and by
monuments and markers electrify by
the deeds and sayings Of the past, that
like the marvellous sowing by the Sea
of Galilee. yield an abundant harvest
of great and good men and women
who will hasten the coming of peace
and good will to men-God's auto
