TO BUILD Present Quarters of the Company Are Not Adequate to Meet Demands of Their Business and Better Facilities are to be Secured. The Home Telephone Company will build an office building in which they will locate the, central office of their improved telephone system. Six or seven pieces of property between 7th and 10th streets have been under consideration for some time, but so far no purchase or option has been taken on any one of them. It is the plan of the company to construct a building such as will be adequate for any system which they may elect to use and which will do for the general business of the concern. AN APPEAL FOR A I M. C. A. Press Committee Issues Statement Calling on People of Richmond to Help. SITUATION IS SET FORTH IT IS SHOWN HOW IN A FEW YEARS THE CITY WILL BE IN THE HANDS OF YOUNG MEN NOW GROWING UP. The Y. M. C. A. Press committee yesterday issued the following: When a stranger comes into Richmond for the first time, he is attracted by the beauty of the city, its fine streets, its magnificant Library, the large number of splendid church edifices, and Its numerous manufacturing establishments apparently busy and prosperous; but above all, one is attracted by the elegant homes, indicating that Richmond is a city of wealth and artistic tastes, and able to have anything necessary for the welfare of the city. Under such an enviroment one naturally looks for everything that is up to date, and makes for the good of ths community. Inquiry brings out the fact that Richmond conducts a fine Chatauqua, an Art display in the Public schools, maintains Earlham College an institutfon, ranking among the first of its kind, is visited by the best bands in the world, and lavishly supports everything that is artistic and aesthetic. To the great surprise of the stranger he finds that Richmond, this beautiful city, with her public spirit, her wealth and attainments, her industrial activity; is without the most up to date and useful instrument for the care of Richmonds most precious possession: a Young Men's Christian Association for her Young Men and Boys. As one goes up and down the streets of Richmond in the evening and sees the young men standing on the sidewalks, and corners, young men whose faces and manners indicate good breeding, character and inclinations which if turned in the right channel would lie a blessing to any community, with no special place to go, no place where the leisure moments of these young men might be tactfully used for profit both to themselves and oth er young men in the city; one is temp ted to cry out Oh Richmond; one thing thou lackest; one thing thou lackest. In a fe w will be in young men big to pay years this beautiful city the hands of these same and boys: is any price to for their proper development . Is any sacrifice too great tor these, vour own sons? The whole civilized world is recognizing the value and needs of her young men, and the ability of a properly equipped Young Mens Christian Association to meet this, value and thesa needs. Millions of dollars are being put into this work all over this land for the sake of the young man. and incidentally for the Home, Church and Nation. Richmond: are your young men worth it? May Receive a Call. The Rev. David C. Huntington, rector of All Sant's Episcopal church, Syracuse, X. Y.. may receive a call from the vestry of St. Paul's Episcopal church, this city. The Rev. 'Mr. Huntington has been under consideration for some time. He probably will come to Richmond next month for the purpose of confering with the vestry and during his visit will officiate at St. Paul's at one service. Is Seriously III. Mrs. M. . C.

HOUGH

PAINFULLY HURT Was Knocked From Street Car By Electric Shock While Repairing Wire. CAME NEAR BEING FATAL FELLOW EMPLOYES OF HOJGH SAY THAT VOLTAGE OF WIRE HE TOUCHED IS SUFFICIENT TO KILL A MAN. William C. Hough, a lineman of the Richmond street and Interurban railway met with a very painful accident near the car barns in West Richmond yesterday. He was on the top of a car repairing the trolley wires when he received a severe shock knocking him from the top of the car to the ground. In the fall he received a broken shoulder bone and was otherwise badly injured. The employes at the car barns say that the wire in which he must have come in contact with carries a voltage of ,r50 and under ordinary circumstances would kill a man. They cannot account for the fact that he was not killed instantly. About the time that the accident occured the regular interurban from the west reached the car barns and Dr. II. II. Boyd of Cambridge City who was on the car made a very successful effort, in resust'eating the mt to consciousness. He was immediately removed to Reid Memorial hospital. JAMES FRAME ARRESTED WAS ABUSING HIS FAMILY When Taken in Charge by Officer Sutton He had a Hatchet in His Hand Littlj Girl Telephoned for the Poilse. James Frame, residing at SIS North Sth street, was arrested last night at the request of hi- wife, who said that her husband was drunk and had run her and her daughter from the house. It appears that Frame, who Is employed at the Union Station went home somewhat to the bad and started on a general clearing out of the domicile. Mrs. Frame stated that he would run her and his step-daughter out of the house and would then threaten them if they did not immediately return. This amusement was kept up for some time when the little girl, at her mother's suggestion, ran out and telephoned the police. In a short time Officer Sutton was on the scene and as he suddenly stepped around the corner was met by Frame who had a hatchet in his hand. AUDITING WILL Books of City Treasurer to be Examined From Time Tennis Took Office. SMITH HERE YESTERDAY CITY IS TO FURNISH AN ASSISTANT, WHOSE WORK WILL CONSIST OF RUNNING UP FIGURES ON ADDING MACHINE. The work of auditing the City Treasurer's books will begin Monday August 5. Henry Deuker, chairman of the Finance Committee of the City Council completed final arrangements with Henry Smith, of Indianapolis, yesterday morning to audit the books. Mr. Smith was in the city yesterday afternoon for a short time conferring with Mr. Deuker as to the exact nature of the work. A contract was at tested which called for the auditing of the books from the beginning of City Treasurer Tennis's term, to the date set for the beginning of the work. For this Mr. Smith is to receive $25 per day. The City also agrees to furnish an assistant to Mr. Smith. This assistant has not yet been chosen. It is estimated that an assistant will save money to the city as he can run the figures upon the machine as fat as Mr. Smith calls them off to him. Ij seems to be a difficult task for the city to get an adding machine as they do not care to so to the expense of purchasing one for this particular occasion. Most of the machines in the city are in constant use and their only hope lies in the borrowing of the one used in the County Treasurer's office. Mr. Smith was at one time Deputy City Treasurer of Indianapolis and is the man who introducted the banking system into that office. He is consid ered Ui best Accountant in the sUtaJ

TO GIVE UP DANCING Evangelist Reed Has Stirred Up Winchester During His Camp Meeting There. CALLED IT BAD AS HELL HIS SERMON AGAINST DANCING LED MANY MOTHERS TO FORDID THEIR DAUGHTERS GOING TO DANCES. Winchester, Ind.. July 30..(Spl) The camp meeting which has been held for the past ten days at this place by the Richmond district of Methodist church, closed tonight with a stereopticon lecture by Evangelist Reed. Three services wero held Sunday and at night the tent would not hold the crowd, .although it has a seating capacity of two thousand. The minister delivered a sermon on "The Judgment" and it caused cuite a stir among his hearers. He presented it. in such forcible way that men and women trembled. There were several conversions yesterday and those made happy did not hesitate to jnake the fact known by loud shouting. It was certainly an old time Methodist camp meeting in every sense ol" the word. The evangelist delivered a sermon last week on dancing and card playing and the use of tobacco by church members, which set many to thinking. In sneaking of the use of tobacco he said: "When I go home after being on the train and in the public waiting rooms, and coming In contact with the foul odors of tobacco, before If eel that I can meet mv wife as a man, I hang my coat on the clothes line to let it eir." Since his termon on dancing many parents of young girls of Winchester that have been in the habit of letting them attend dances have called a halt, and will not permit them attend dances. This has worked somewhat of a hardship on the young men of the city. Evangelist Reed does not handle the sins of the present time with gloves and he has aroused the churchgoers of Winchester as they never were before. The meetings have been a success and Rev. Reed will Teave with the best wishes of the good people of this city, although his remarks were at times just a little strong, so some of them think. The first night he was here he said that he had heard that Winchester was as bad as hell itself. This started the people to talking and everyone attended to hear what more he had to say. Will Make Ascension. At the old Settlers reunion to be held at Economy next Tuesday, one of the features will be a balloon ascension by the Martin brothers, residents of Economy, who on that day will make their maiden effort in navigating the air. They have purchased the balloon formerly the property of the late John Baldwin who was killed while making an ascension at the Greenville fair last fall. Installed Officers.

JOHN D. PRETTY WELL SATISFIED

Oil Magnate Gives Out an Interview and Entertains the Correspondent. CHRISTIAN SENTIMENTS SAYS HE WANTS PEOPLE TO VISIT HIS COUNTRY HOME AND ENJOY THEMSELVES FOOT INTERESTING GOSSIP. Publishers' Tress j New York, July :ii). Despite man's inhumanity to him (as he sees it); despite the work or newspaper correspondents and cartoonists, as well as magazine muck rakers," John D. Rockefeller is still pretty well satisfied with himself and life. lie thinks this is a pretty good old earth after all and that these United States are a pretty good place to call homo sweet home. lie said as much today in an interview with the New York correspondent of the Cleveland Press who chatted with him as the oil king drove about his beautiful estate at Pocantico Hills on a tour of inspection preceding his departure tonight for Cleveland, where he went accompanied by his wife for a stay which is expected to last until the first week in October. Was at First Reticent. When Mr. Rockefeller was first approached by the newspaper man he was averse to talking for publication, and, while displaying unusual courtesy and none of t:ie arrogance and hateur which is conmoly associated with him, was much more prone to speak of the beauties of his Pocantico estate than the probable outcome of the Findley, Ohio, indictment. "Now really young man," said Mr. Rockefeller genially, "there Is nothing that I can say to you for publication. Put just the same I am glad to see you here and hope you will go all over the estate. It Is really a beautlftt place, thanks to nature and Superintendent Hemenway here and we won't want to be Belflsh with It. We enjoy its beauties and want as many others to do the same as possibly can. The grounds aro always open, and visitors are always welcome. More than that I like to have them for It gives me pleasure to see other people enjoy themselves. Correspondent Shown About. As the correspondent was about to drive away Mr. Rockefeller 'said: "I can't go with you myself over tho grounds, but I'll tell you what I will do. I'll send John here, mv footman, with you. He has been with me here for 14 years and knows tho place as well as I. Next time you come I will take you around." As John was pointing out the points of Interest he remarked with a rich Cork brogue: "Well sir, thots the most palaverln'' Ive heard father (meaning John D.)' do in minny day to wan uv yer like. Sure the papers have lied about lm so much I don't blame im for keeplamum. Why mlnny and mlnny Is the time that Iv heard him readin the paper as he sat at breakfast, reading aa how he could ,eat nothin but soup and milk an even as he read he was after eatin a4 big steak or half a chicken.' More an I could eat. an I aint to say, delicate either." TO OF Home Telephone Company to put in Square's Length of Underground Wires.
