THE RESULTS

InlrQ nOnOrS-IO De divided De-
tween Modoc, Liberty and Rushville
Friday and Saturday, March 2 and
8, the Richmond high school basket
ball team will cinch it's right to make
the Bloomington trip by wading
through its preliminary opposition and
finishing up on Hagerstown recognized
as the second strongest team in the
district. New Castle, by reason of the
change in districts, will not compete
here, but will have tournament all
it's own. Connersville too, will be out
of it inasmuch as that school will enter
no team this year.
Other Teams are Weak.
Richmond's right to the district title
is not to be disputed With the .ex-
ception of Hagerstown all teams of the
district are below the standard this
year. .Hagerstown, Liberty and Modoc,
apparently, are the only teams to be
considered in the championship run
ming. That Richmond has an edge on
these teams is conceded.
The strength of Liberty and Modoc
is the only element of uncertainty in
lining up the winners. Liberty recent
lv walloped Brookville, '16 winners, by
the score of Al to 8. Modoc has Won
nine consecutive games with teams of
mediocre ability. The strength of
Hagerstown is well known and re-
spected.

ACTORS FUND FAIR

THERE is going to be vampire test
4 in New York soon. II will be
held at the Actors Fund Fair in Grand
Central Palace in May. OF course, that
gives the contestants two months in
which to get in the proper frame Of
mind, but that is not a bit too long.
Ingenues cannot become vampires over
night; so those who contemplate en-
tering the contest had better prepare
at once. Then, when they have per-
fected themselves, they may simply
"vamp till ready"
The test will be made in a studio
especially fitted up for the contest on
the upper floor of the Palace. Di-
rectors will be on hand to coach each
budding vampire for her part on the
screen. Each contestant will be al
lowed enough film to demonstrate her
ability or inability TO yamp, and all
this because some of the big compa-
MES which deal in vampires say that
there is a dearth OF suitable material
The judges who have agreed to pass
upon the qualifications of the contest
ants are Harrison Fisher, Charles Dana
Gibson, NJ. Nikolak and F. Lyndecker.
Already more than fifty young
women have answered the bugle call.
Each one has heard voices and has
seen visions-visions of herself as the
original rag and bone and hank of
hair"

too, Jean Richepin never could have
been induced to write a motion picture

any other artist, and, but for the spirit

Jane Cowl, who will soon make her

that beauty is not essential TO success

The motion picture version OF THE
Whip is completed, and will be pro-
duced during the coming month. The
picture is under the direction OF
Maurice Tourneur. The horse show
scenes were taken last summer at
Long Branch during the Hollywood
show and the racetrack scenes were
filmed at Saratoga.
There is a realistic railway collision
in which two trains were destroyed
and a hundred innocent extra people
were incinerated. "The Whip" seems
TO be an expensive production.

where it was necessary for Miss King

taken into the confidence of the direct

the train without giving the actors a
chance to get off Barry jumped, but
Miss King didn't dare TO follow, and
so she went on; and the worst of it
was that she had no money. She tried

Joe Friedman Freed
OF Criminal CHARGE

In the case of the state VS.. Joe
Friedman, who was charged with
buying copper wire known to be
stolen, the court ordered the jury
to bring in verdict of acquittal
as no evidence was introduced to
prove that Friedman had any
knowledge OF the property being
stolen. With him it was just a
plain business transaction
The case was tried today at
Georgetown before Judge H. S.
Glass and a jury. The court ap-
pointed H. A. Clary, the Idaho
Springs barber, foreman of the
fury and instructed him to sign
the verdict.
Mr.. Friedman was represented
by Attorneys Edward M Sabin
and j. W. B. Smith, while the
state was represented by District
Attorney Samuel w. johnson.
T. O. Garrabrant, who was the
principal witness, says he will now
go to Denver and endeavor te

last Sunday morning, May q,
after her return from st. Joseph s
hospital, where she had been con-
veyed in hopes of prolonging her
life. 1t was thought an operation
would be resorted to, but this was
deemed inadvisable. Mrs. Hart
man was suffering from complica-
tions resulting from paralytic
stroke suffered two years ago.
The deceased was born in Berne,

Dynamite Stolen From
Powder Magazines

A German, a Mexican and an
I. W. w. member recently sto lie
eight boxes of dynamite from a
California powder magazine, but
detectives located and. recovered
it before it could be got out of the
county. Th . expenditure Of
money and diligence used in re-
covering the powder was largely
due to the present grave Inter-
national situation, according to
the E ngin ee ring & NJ ming
journal.
As the powder house is = miles
outside the nearest city limits, it
was thought to be unnecessary to
have a guard there, but now
guards and searchlights are reg
ularly employed there and at
other similar places throughout
the state.

Continued Cold Season
Calls for Steam Heat

Somebody has said the weather
man is pro-German. At any rate,
the cool weather continues and
it's more like March than the first
of June. Perhaps the snow storm
of May 81 will terminate the
winter season. At least, let's
hope so. Nearly all day Thurs
day the snow fell fast and furious
and Merry Christmas was the
usual greeting on the streets. OF
course the snow melted about as
fast as it fell, clinging only here
and there on the hillsides, but
enough fell to equal good heavy
rain, giving the gardens an extra
and unnecessary soaking and
making the roads muddier than
ever.
The "oldest inhabitant" is tell
ing how it was worse than this back
in the Cos or 7Os, but other old
inhabitants contradict him and
say this is surely the worst ever.
It was found necessary to start
the steam heat plant again. May
20 was the date set for final steam
service but the unusual season has
made it necessary to "coal up
again regardless of the price of
coal. A few weeks ago we gloried
/, in the sunshine and opened up the
! windows to enjoy genuine spring,
but not so now. The fellow was
right who said he would be glad
when next winter comes for then
he would know for sure this one
is over.
The snow contin ued to fall
Thursday night and Friday morn
ing, June 1. The thermometer
Friday morning registered 2G
degrees, and ice was mixed with
the snow covering the ground and
trees. During the day the snow
nearly all disappeared.

Hot Spring 10 Be
Moved Farther North

Numerous extensive improve
ments are under way at the Hot
Springs hotel, one of the most
noticeable being the transforma-
ton of the old Trocadero dance
hall into additional hotel rooms.
Fourteen choice summer bed rooms
will thus be provided, each with
a private porch and with hot and
cold running water. The rooms
will be nicely finished and in every
way in keeping with the high
class appointments of the hotel
proper The bridge across the
creek, leading to the Trocadero
entrance. will be removed and
placed farther north.
The water from the spring will
be piped to place north of the
old Trocadero, and will be covered
with the ornamental spring house
which now covers the spring
proper. Benches will be provided
for visitors TO the spring and there
will be no necessity for their inter-
fering with the convenience of the
hotel guests.
The large dancing porch and
addition to the hotels din in e
room is another noted improve
ment, to say nothing of the num-
erous new cottages being erected
to the south of the big hotel.
Electric lights will illuminate
Soda, creek from Miner street to
the extreme upper end of the hotel
property.
The old skating rink is being
transformed into a garage suitable
for &C ON cd ating the h 0 l
patrons who have heretofore been
unable to have their cars properly
housed.
The development of the Hot
Springs has only just begun, and
a few years hence will assume
such proportions that few local
residents can now conceive. Joe
Meyer has enlarged plans for the
future and he has demonstrated
his ability to put his plans into
practical operation.
