WILL ERECT ADDITION TO FREIGHT

HOUSEJIS SAIO Pennsylvania Company Has Served Notice on Occupants Of Houses That It Has Pur chased, to Vacate Soon. CHANGES WILL REQUIRE AN INCREASED FORCE. There Are About Twenty Dwelling Houses Included in The Order and the Families Must Find Other Quarters. The Pennsylvania railroad company, to meet the rapidly growing demand for greater freight facilities in Richmond, -will soon erect a fine new addi tion- to the present freight station. The railroad company has instructed its realty agents in this city, to serve notice to all occupants of those houses owned1 by the Pennsylvania company west of Fifth1 street, to the C. C. & L. tracks and north of D street, to vacate as soon as possible, in order that the company may start operations in razing the houses, preparatory to the Installation of a number of new switches and a large addition to its present freight house. It is also surmised the Pennsylvania company anticipates fav orable action on the part of the Indiana railroad commission In regard to the interchange of freight, which would also necessitate the construction of a spur through this very same territory. Will Employ More Men. With, the new addition to the freight house it is thought that many more men will be employed in this city. It has been necessary in several Instances during the past year to import men from other freight houses along the Richmond division, to work over Sunday, that the local freight blockades might be cleared. Thelocal station has been crowded and the step just an nounced is the follow up of an idea which had been in the minds of Pennsylvania officials for some time. It is understood with the completion of the new addition to the freight station, Richmond1 will have one of the best means of handling ' and exchanging freight of any city In this section of the country. There are about twenty dwelling houses in the district which the Pennsylvania has odreded vacated, and this will throw at least that number of families into the very few empty houses in the city. This will also heighten the demand for empty houses, and the 'Commercial club will have to bring still greater stress to bear upon men of means to build dwelling houses, at present recognized as one of the cities' most critical needs. GIFTS TO JHE MORELS Young Men Soon to Leave Are Well Remembered. Friday evening in the office of the Minck Brewing company, the em ployes gave a pleasant surprise on Al bert Morel and Ed Morel, who will leave soon for the West. A social evening was spent and refreshments were served. Albert Morel was pre sented by the employes with a hand some cane and umbrella and Ed Mor el with a watch chain.

LETS GO OF C. & A. Agreement Made With the Rock Island in 1904 Has Been Abrogated. STOCKHOLDERS CONTROL. CHANGE BROUGHT ABOUT WITHOUT PREJUDICE AND NEITHER PARTY IS DAMAGED BY THE NEW POLICY. The agreement between the Harrlman Interests and the Rock Island company, in which Daniel G. Reid and other Richmond men are interested, and which was entered into in 1904, for their alternate control of the Chicago &, Alton railroad, has been obrogated by mutual consent, according to an authoritative announcement made Friday. In future, it was stated, the Chicago &. Alton stockholders wiu manage the property. Under the agreement which has just been abrogated the Rock Island company and the Harriman interests alternately controlled the Chicago & Alton, the Rock Island company being in control one year and the Harriman interests the next. The plan would have laps ed in 1914. The change is said to be without prejudice to either party. The Chicago & Alton officials ex plained that It was simply an Instance of letting stockholders manage their own affairs. It was felt that this policy would best subserve the inter ests of the stockholders. There is to be no change, according to the Chica go & Alton officials, in the policy of the road, which had been managed by the Rock Island since September. B. F. Yoakum of the Rock Island and St. Louis & San Francisco roads Is the present chairman of the Chica go & Alton executive committee Rock Island has six representatives in the Board of Directors against five so-called Harriman directors. The re cent resignation of J. B. Forgan from the Chicaco & Alton board reduced the Harriman representatives to four It is understood that a meeting of the stockholders will be held to elect board of directors under the new plan. In financial circles it is generally understood that Rock Island interests hold over 50 per cent of Chicago & Alton stock and that E. H. Harriman and his friends hold 25 per cent.

Spooning at Glen Must Stop at 10 R M.

"No spooning by the pale moonlight after 10 o'clock p. m.", is the edict that went forth today by William E. Klopp, custodian at Glen Miller park. After a long winter, the soft summer weather seems to have arrived and with it comes the silvery moonlight and soft June breezes, pregnant with romance, all of which is conducive to manly arms about willowy waists and the murmurings of sweet nothings. Mr. Klopp states that he was once young himself and that his heart goes out to all true lovers, but that moonlight courtship in the park must cease every evening at 10 o'clock. In enforcing this edict Mr. Klopp has arranged a novel device. From tonight on through the summer season a curfew bell will '"butt in" with its brazen tones ,on the sweet and gentle whisperings of Harry and Harriet.

Ten minutes will be allowed the lovers to stroll out of the park and promptly at 10 o'clock all the electric lights will be snuffed out, "There are some nice, attractive benches in the extreme east end of the park. Would it not be difficult for two young things to get out ol the park in ten minutes if they by chance were holding down one of these benches?" inquired a reporter in an anxious tone. "Not in the least, was the prompt reply of Mr. Klopp. "I have seen several young people located in the section of the park you mention vanish out of the Main street entrance In fewer time than ten minutes." Mr. Klopp anticipates that Cupid will work overtime at the Glen this summer and he has provided numerous benches for the "spoons."

KERAMIC LEAGUE TO OPEN ITS EXHIBIT Public Will Be Formally Received at the Starr Rooms This Evening. DISPLAY SPLENDID ONE. MUSIC AND REFRESHMENTS WILL ADD TO THE OCCASION THIS EVENING PRIZE OFFERED BY MRS. FOULKE.

Of the most prominent pieces are the three from the Rookwood pottery at Cincinnati, which were made especially for this exhibition by their Japanese artist. One is a bird study, one plum blossoms and one a study of dragons. They are all most exquisitely done and it is an Interesting fact to note that the designs are a tiny bit in relief. With the Rookwood pieces are several pie ces loaned by Col. J. F. Miller, one especially notable being a Rookwood lamp. Another group is of Satsuma and cloissone, loaned by Mrs. Richard Sedgwick and Mrs. Harry Starr. There are two cabinets in the window which are filled with rare and costly china loaned by Mrs. James Morrison, Mrs. William Dudley Foulke, Mrs. Harry Starr and others. Other c'.oissonee pieces are loaned by Mrs. Charles Marvel, Mrs. Jennie Yaryan, Mrs. Starr, Mrs. Foulke, Mrs. W. F. Hell and Mrs. Elmer Eggemeyer. Another feature of the window exhibit is the antique bronze collection, loaned by Col. W. J. Robie and several bronze vases of Mr. James Morrison's The teak wood table In the . window also attracts much attention and is' a beautiful representation of Japanese art. It was loaned by Mr. Herbert Bell. Competing for Prize. On one table in the exhibit are the twelve pieces which are competing for the prize offered by Mrs. William Dudley Foulke, They are all representations of Japanese art as applied to porcelain and are the work of Richmond people. The exhibit of the work of Indianapolis artists is a large one and is of much interest. In the portrait section of the exhibit the most prominent feature, probably, and one that attracts many Is the por-! trait of Dr. Catthell, of Des Moines,!

Iowa, formerly rector of St Paul's ?50,?hUre VH!Vtl3tH Ih view of the announcement that IZSri " f?M !, h"rW?' the Ministerial association has decidhas cnarge of this department. The. . tn . 0 .

It was painted in 1904 and has never been on exhibition before. In the parlors of the Starr Piano company, to the rear of the ware rooms is a small collection of books in art bindings by several of the best known art binders in the United States, and also several water color from the brushes of Charles Warren Eaton and William Ritchel. Miss Anna Newman's class also have an exhibit of their wrork in colored chalk and crayons.

EOF V.NI.CA WILL BE LOCATED Oil NORTH 10TH ST. Site Committee Has Chosen The Harold and Crawford Properties as a Suitable Place for Building. THE TOTAL FRONTAGE SECURED IS 118 FEET. Deeds for the Property Will Bo Passed Within a Short Time And the Plans for the Building Will Be Hurried. The first tangible acconiplishmenB of the Y. M. C. A. committees, siuca raising the money for Richmond's new V. M. C. A., or at least the first definite move toward the location of thi new buildinjr. was Friday night, when the committee on site, composed of Sharon Jones, Adam H. Bartel, Richard Sedgwick, Charles H. Moore and E. K. Shera, was instructed by the board oC directors to go ahead and purchase th Dr. I. S. Harold and old Ihuiiel Crawford properties on North Tenth street, a few feet north of the.Westcott ho tel on the east side of the street. ThU has been done. The properties were selected after fifteen different proposi tions had been made to the committee and thoroughly considered, and it was chosen above all others owing to it central location. The consideration has not yet been made public. The Harold lot has a H foot frontage. while the Crawford property, immediately to the south, has a 54 feet front, giving the new Y. M. C. A. a total frontage of 1LS feet, while tho depth of the lots is one hundred and! eighty feet. This area will give tho new association building ample room and is decidedly one of the choicest positions In the city. It was thought for a time the committee would settle definitely on the property at the northeast corner of Ninth and A streets, but it is understood the consideration demanded by the owner of the property was more than the committee deemed fit to pay iar a site. Deeds Will Be Secured. Deeds for the properties will be Hecured Immediately and active work will begin soon in starting the new building. The old houses on the lota will be razed and no work proper on the new building will begin till thes houses are entirely out of the way. In the meantinme the outside and interior plans for the building will be placed in the hands of competent architects. The interior plans will be drawn by Architect Hussey of Lansing, Mlch. while it ia not known as yet with, whom the exterior plans will be placed. By the time the plans are completed it is thought everything will be ready for awarding the contracts for the building. .. The Y. M. C. A. interest in the city la growing by leaps and bounds, as tho building is nearer realization, and particularly are the young men looking forward to It with Interest. 'None of the committeemen will make a venture at guessing what time the building will be completed. BED MEN TO CONDUCT A LECTURE COURSE Hokendauqua Tribe Has Decided Upon This.
