Publishers' Press Newark, N. J., July 9. At the twentyrsocond bi-ennial convention of the North American Turner Hund, in season here today, a resolution was passed protesting against the prohibition of the canteen in the homes for disa bled soldiers. The resolution states that the convention approves of the action of the executive committee in protesting against the removal of can teens and expresses sorrow that congress did not heed thesu protests. Continuing, the resolution reads: "We consider thu measure an act of useless cruelty and tyranny against the veterans who risked life, and limb for the preservation of the Unior and are beyond the age of education. We are of the opinion that the action ot congress is not due to any motives of ccnsceince, moralty, out partly to blind and unreasonable faith in worthless and dangerous dogmas and theories controlling sound reason and every sense of justice and partly to political cowardice, overpowering indi vidual convheton and sound judg ment." ROBERT EDISON PAULUS FIRE CAPTAIN INVENTOR Capt. Paulus Invents a Contrivance That will Save Labor for Fire Laddies and Which Makes Mistakes Impossible. "Walter Paulus, Capt. of No. 1 Hook and Ladder company is responsible for a new contrivance which will be very handy around the fire department headquarters. He has had the names of all the members of the department printed on a slip of paper, each company in its order. These slips will be attached to rollers in an oblong box which has fne slits in its front corresponding to each company. Whenever a man. is oif duty his name and company of which he is a member is rolled into view through the little slits. In this manner the Chief or any other person, can without the j trouble of turning to the books or trusting to some one's memory, look at the box and immediately know which man is off duty. Capt. Paulus is very modest about the little trouble-saver and says that, the making of it helped to "kill time."

E In Spite of the Efforts of the City to Correst Trouble It Still Exists. RESIDENTS ARE NEGLIGENT CORRECT NUMBERS LIE UNCALLED FOR AT ENGINEER'S OFFICE SYSTEM IN NEW WEST RICHMOND. Complaint is constantly being made about the system of numbering houses in Fairview. It is nearly as hard for a stranger to find a Iiouse in some parts of Fairview, by the customary method, as to locate the proverbial needle in the hay stack The fault lies not with the city authorities for this but with the citizens of Fairview themselves That .thriving section of the city has been charted and the lots given numbers The numbers are at the city engineer's office awaiting for some one to come and carry them to their proper places, but few have come Mail carriers have asked the postal authorities to see what they can do toward gettrng the Fairview residents to number their houses correctly The water and power companies are greatly inconvenienced by the irregularity of numbering. No System West of Fifth. - The present system of numbering in the annexed part of the city west of West .rth street, t really no system at all. A number of residents of that pait have made some inquiries as to wh t the city will do in regard to this. It was decided last winter that the step would be taken i" the arranging of numerals to the lots of that section until after the first year's taxes had been paid. The first payment of taxes to the city fram this district was made last, snring and the second payment will be made this fall. During the coming winter the City Engineer will make a chart of the annexations and will lay them out properly and number them.

It has been clearly demonstrated that the reading public of Richmond and vicinity want a morning newspaper. When the Palladium entered upon its new career in its present quarters, the circulation was 463. From the day that the new Palladium made its appearance the circulation has gone forward with big jumps. On April 1 it had reached 1,276; cn May 1, 1,632 and on June 1, 1,856. It was not until June 11 that a daily account of the actual increase was begun for it was not until that date that the Palladium considered itself to be actually in the running in the way of circulation.

I TO BEJESTRAINEO Eaton Don't Want to Lose Its Telephone Connection with Richmond. A PART OF BELL FIGHT OHIO COMPANY WAS TOO FRIENDLY WITH CENTRAL UNION AND INDEPENDENTS CONTEMPLATED CUTTING IT OFF. Through its attorney, Henry IT. Johnson, the Eaton Telephone Company brought injunction' proceedings to restrain the proposed severing of connections with them, against the local Home Telephone Company yesterday. Judge Henry Fox, of the Wayne county circuit court, issued a temporary restraining order against the local company to hold until July 20. when the case will be heard before him. When the Eaton company incorporated it was with the understanding that it should not have any relation with the Hell Telephone Co., but should stand with the Independent companies. It was on this mutual understanding that the Home people gave their service to the company. Camden and Germantown were sort of quasl-parties to the same agreement. Within the past few months thes-3 hamlets have had a tendency toward the Bell company and at last took on the Bell service. The other independent companies surrounding Eaton, Including Richmond, agreed to the plan of giving Eaton until nine o'clock Monday night to decide which family she belonged to, and then If she went with the Bell people all the independent companies were going to cut out their service with her. The Eaton company, however, more than met the move of the independents by bringing Injunction proceedings against the Richmond company. Eaton wants a permanent injunction against the Home people, but it ia thought that this will not be given owing to the action Eaton has taken in becoming a vassal of the Hell. If, when the case leaves the hands of the court, Eaton and her companions persist In clinging to the Bell company, the independent companies v;ill sever all connection with them. The next step will be the installing of independent stations by the local Independent company, in conjunction with other of the same class interested in the action, in the towns under dispute. The Eaton business people are not very well satisfied with the disturbance as it Is taking the facilities of independent service from them. THE OPEN AIR MEETINGS Rev. Alfred T.
