Tiiand such a large share of the busir.ets that the other roads would suffer such a falling off that their loss v.ould be fully as great as under the ether condition. These facts have been used as arguments with the C. C. & L. management asninst its contention. It has hten pointed out that even if it secures a lion's share of the through traffic between the two cities at the r:te it proposes, it would be unprofitable to do it, while the other roads would suffer almost beyond estimate. The situation in a nutshell is that the officials of the old roads see nothins but unprofitable business and continued looses in the future with the present high-class equipment and frequent service, and they have decid-' ed that this will have to be cut down. The retrenchment will be accomplished by means of the abandonment of at least one, and probably two, of the through daily trains both ways on ciieh of the roads. No official action has yet been taken, but it is practically admitted by the authorized representatives of the roads tha". there is no other way of meeting the situation, and that as one of the fundamental principles of all railroads is to avoid unprofitable operation, a reorganization of the present service is not only probable, but n absolute necessity. And the tworent legislation is responsible for it all. In this connection, it is pointed out !by one of the perplexed officials that
this state legislation has reached out Into a field not contemplated, in that it practically controls interstate transportation.
One of the rather strange things about the contest and the way it ended was that three of the winning contestant.? were from the county outside of Richmond, and the other three were 'Richmond contestants. By this happy coincidence there is an even split between the city and the county. To all the contestants who partici-

Street Commissioner Ed Dye stated Saturday, that the ordinance against throwing waste paper on the streets and in the alleys., would be .enforced, from the siart to finish if he had any power to do so. He stated that the sooner people learn that they had to place their waste papers in the trash boxes the better the city would bf off and he intended to do his duty along this line, and if necessary cause the arrest of parties who repeatedly violate the ordinance. He said that all people throwing trash of this native into the alleys or streets would be compelled to remove the same at their own cost. Waste paper, said Mr. Dye, is the worst thing the haulers have to contend with. and it takes more time to gather the paper from the alleys and streets than it does to load and unload the garbage accumulated in the receptacles in- the alleys. During the month of May about thirteen hundred loads of refuse were gathered from the streets and alleys of Richmond, while in the past three months, about 6,000 wagon loads have been cleaned up. Mr. Dye is certainly proving a
worthy and efficient street
sioner, and the city is now in as good if not better condition than ever be-
Weather that would have done January credit, was dished up to the people of Wayne county and particularly
of Richmond, during the month of May! Instend of the mean temperature ranging near seventy degrees, as has generally been the case in years past, the mean temperature for the month was -oV degrees. It at all times was a rather risky undertaking for penpie to venture out without an overcoat, and the temperature was always.' chan gins, -"and" for "this one reason, was probably more severe than if it had remained about a certain point during the entire month. The mean maximum temperature for the month was tj.N.'J and the mean minimum 4.I.S. The highest maximum was May when the thermometer reached M, and the minimum on the Tub when it sank to oO degrees.

Col. Tom Elliott, the veteran rnST!ger of the West cott hotel pool and billiard room, is positive that while ia Indianapolis Memorial, day he saved, President Roosevelt from beicg assassinated b3' an anarchist. Elliott is a great admirer of the president and lasti Thursday he took advantage of the op-1 port unity of seeing and hearing him. In Indianapolis he met two local newspaper men and ha asked them to secure a seat for him in the press reservation, which adjoined the speakers" stand. The newspaper men promised to do their best for him, buJ found great difficulty in securing peats for themselves owing to the limited accommodations of the press reservation and the large number of newspaper nieu from over the state, who desired scats, so no seat could be obtained for Elli
ott.
On the arrival of these two newspapermen at the press reservation they were greatly surprised to see Ellioit within, oeeuping a position so near tho
president that he could almost touch him. They were at a loss to know how Elliott had obtained admittance. Yesterday he was eeen at the Westcott and asked to Folve the riddle Ho stated that bo succeeded in pushing his way through the crowd to the entrance of the press reservation, which was guarded by a gate keeper. . While standing near the entrance a man approached and showed a pass which entitled him to admittance to the presa reservation. Elliott stated that thH man did iot look like a newspaper man, and after a close examination he decided the, follow m'rs an anarch iL He so informed, the, gate keeper, who, after art inspection, agreed with Elliott. One of the secret service mn. who watch every move by the chief executive, overheard Elliott.- conversation with the gate Keeper and he took immediate action.
