ENTER COMPLAINT AGAINST RATE Oil CERTAW FREIGHT Richmond Vehicle Manufacturers Have Sought Aid of the Commercial Club in an Effort to Escape Injustice.

CLASSIFICATION WRONG IS THEIR CONTENTION As a Result the Manufacturers Are Prevented From Com peting on an Equal Basis in Certain Territory. Richmond vehicle manufacturers. through the Commercial club, have ta ken up the fight for a new classifica tion of freight rates on quantities of less than car load lots. At the pres ent time the rate for buggies is deter mined by the size of the crate used in shipping and not the weight as would ordinarily be thought. The crates should they be more ihan 04 inches in lAnirtfi fill trt on artvQnfdH TH t P ft&A 1 V 11.1 11' 1(11 1 ail Mi ' ...... t class and probably although by 0," Inches, or an inch more than the regu lation size, the railroad will charge double rate for the transportation of the contents. Should the crate be more than thirty inches high, the railroads are charging triple prices for its transportation. Local buggy manu facturers- claim that the rate is unjust. as do all the buggy manufacturers in that territory affected by the Central freight association's rule. By-this increased charge it is impos Sible for the buggy manufacturers to comnete in territory which the local companies have to reach by small ship monta. The absurd rule, which often times requires a triple freight rate is keeping-many of the companies In Indi ana from competing in states outside the. Jurisdiction of the Central freight association. At the present time spring wagons and large surreys which require a crate of more than O8xS0x5ifeet, the regulation size eligl "ble for a. single freight rate, are bein sent by express, as the express rates are cheaper, but still are much higher than-the freight rates would be if they were adjusted to the proper scale. Views of Manufacturers. A 1 1 1 r J ,1 . "We know of no reason why a spring -wagon weighing 0O pounds, requiring approximately 102 cubic feet of space, should take the same rating as an ex tension top surry, weighing 7"io pounds and requiring It'll cubic feet- of space In a box car. For example at the rate of $1.(h) per cwt., freight on spring wagons, which occupy much less space In a car -than a surrey, would require fifty cents more than the regular .freight charges on the surrey. Neither of the other freight associations in this country charge the excessive and un Just rates." In order to evade the unjust ruling local manufacturers in many Instanc es have shipped the buggy beds in one crate on one day and on the next ship ped the wheels to the vehicle. The manufacturers through the Com merclal club, will petition the official classification committee to change the present ruling. According to reports reaching Richmond the other vehicle manufacturers- in adjoining states. .which fall under the jurisdiction of the, Central freight-assoclation, will do .likewise. The Indianapolis Freight bureau, of which the local Commercial club is a member, is also doing every thing in Its power to alleviate condi tions, and it is probable that the fight ;against the railroads' unjust rate will ibe waged so strongly that it will eventually be changed and a just and fair rate installed. WANTS LOCATION HERE Novelty Works Proprietor to Visit Richmond. A representative from a large novelty works in the southern part of Indiana will be in Richmond soon to secure a site for his factory, the manufacturers being very desirous to locate here. The Commercial club will make an endeavor to locate the concern as it would be a substantial addition. REFOSES IMPOSITION Independent Telephone Co. for Open Competition. Columbus, ,0.( Aug. 6.

'Professor," said the fair co-ed after a pause, let me ask you if you ever use the phrase 'different than?'" "Never!" exclaimed the young pro fessor of rhetoric and English literature. "It exasperates me. Miss Pinkie, whenever I see it in print." "I am glad we have something in common, sue rejoined. "Neverthe less, Trofessor de Purey, I cannot be your wife." "Mr. Koopong," asked the young wo man, with downcast eyes, "new that I happen to think of it. do you ever use the phrase 'different than?' " 'I eertaialy da not," said the enam ored capitalist "It is not only incorrect, but utterly absurd." "I am glad to hear you say so. StiH. Mr. Koopong, it is usele3s t: urge me. never cart bo anything more to you than a friend." "Let me a9b you one question. Sir. Fnoodles," she said. "Do you ever usf the phrase different than?"

ALABAMA IS FIRM

III RAILWAY WAR Gov. Comer Will Call Out the Troops If Necessary to Compel Obedience. ARRESTS ARE POSSIBLE. ROAD HAS PLACED ITSELF IN A POSITION TO BE DEALT WITH AS AN OUTLAW OR MOB WOULD BE DEALT WITH. Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 6. Cover nor Comer of Alabama is determined to enforce the state laws against the Southern railway at any cost. While he has made no public statement, his advisers say he will call an extra ses sion of the legislature or order out troops if necessary, to see that the state's commands are obeyed. It Is possible that wholesale arrests may be made in the next few days of officials of the Southern who continue to operate the various lines in spite of the fact that they are doing so without a charter. State officials take the view that the Southern, by defy ing the state law against the removel from the state to the federal court. and thereby having its charter revok ed by the secretary of state has placed itself in a position to be dealt with as an outlaw or mob would be dealt with. COMEDY IN A CEMETERY. Old Chestnut Seller crf Genoa and Her Fortune Hunting Spouse. It does not seem .possible that one could run across a comedy in such a solemn place as a cemetery, yet there is, so the optimist assures us, a little comedy in every situation. Surely in the romance of the old chestnut, seller of Genoa and the chagrin of her 'fortune hunting spouse, both of whom figure In the local gossip and one of whom Is Immortalized in marble In the Campo Santo, one must admit that the situation Is not without its lighter Bide. The most serious minded smile as they read the Inscription which the shrewd old lady commanded the sculptor to chisel on her tomb. Not so many years ago, so the story runs, one of the best known figures In the streets of Genoa was that of an old woman who made a living selling chestnuts. She was without beauty, but was gifted with a quality which no doubt stood lr in better stead a native shrewdness which enabled her to buy her wares prudently and to sell them with a profit. It does not require a large income to live in Genoa, especially when one has not acquired extravagant tastes, so gradually the fortune of the worthy toller grew, and finally became large enough to be talked about. A lad more noted for his good looks than for principle or Intellect caught the rumor of the fortune, sought the chestnut merchant and made straight for her heart, which was not long In responding. The subse-, quent marriage of the pair caused the knowing ones to smile. After a short honeymoon it was brought to the notice of interested nelghbois that the young husband was in search of work. Ilia elderly bride disclaimed all knowledge of the rumored fortune and said that, as she was almost without a penny, she expected that he, too, would put his shoulder to the wheel. Between them a comfortable home might be supported and an occasional evening at the theater might be enjoyed. Not even yet having given up hope that the fortune would one day appear, the young husband led for a time an exemplary life, but finally patience gave place to discouragement, and love's young dream was shattered. Several years later the deserted wife died, and, like a mushroom In the night, sprang up in a coifspicuous place in the Campo Santo a handsome monument representing, aside from the plot which it occupied, a snug fortune. The marble statue, of life size, represents the old lady, dressed In full gathered skirt, silk apron, fringed shawl and a rosary wound around her fingers. Lest there should be a doubt about the history of the original and her romance the entire story is set upon the pedes tal of the statue, explaining how the lady had been wooed, not, as she knew at the time, for her beauty or her virtue, but for her fortune, and how she had thwarted her mercenary lover by the purchase ef this lasting memorial, which not only represented her husband's disappointment, but might also serve as a warning to otuers. ice statue is one of the most striking in the entire place. Leslie's Weekly. No Mail For Him. "Yes," remarked the driver, as his lenders swept round the turn into a lightly timbered stretch of level road in the Australian "bush," "you may not believe it, bnt those kangaroos are as clever as people." Then, in response to the inquiry of a passenger who con tribute3 the story to Cassell's Maga zine, he proceeded to tell why. "Now, there's Moloney," he continucl, "who owns the section on the oth er side of the creek. He trained one of them to meet the coach every week and set the letters for him. "The kangaroo's pouch comes in real handy, ye see." he added, with the hu mor that belongs to the sta-re driver the world over. F.-eseutly. as often happens on a quiet country road, a fine kangaroo. disturbed by tbe approach of his maj esty s royal mail, came into view, as he raised himself from the grass where he had been feeding and looked toward the coach with an innocent, inquiring air. The driver glanced at him and shook his bead. "Nothing for you today, old man!" he called genially. The kaugaroo, as if that was all he had been waiting for, hopped quickly oat of view anions the tree3, to the amazement of the box seat traveler and intense enjoyment of the other do cunants-of 'thercdaci

The two matrons of honor were Mrs. Edward Dean Lyman and Mrs. William Morrison. They were garbed in pink and carried muff bouquets of pink roses. The bride wore a gown of satin fin ish crepe de chine and lace. She car ried a shower bouquet of bride's gladioli and fragrant lillies of the valley. Charles Hopper, the bride's brother, was the best man. A supper was served to the guests at the conclusion of the ceremony, the brida's. table being shaded with a huge umbrella of pink sweet peas and gauze, the centerpiece of the festal board being a "big basket of pink sweet peas and gladioli. At the conclusion of the wedding trip the couple will be at home In Brooklyn, N. Y., where the groom has been given a chair in Adelphi College.

There was some surprise manifest ed at the meeting of the city council Monday night, due to .the non-appointment of a delegate to the meeting .of the national league of municipalities.

OVERMAN VICTIM OF WHITE PLAGUE Well Known Young Man Died Monday Afternoon. AN EXPERT POOL PLAYER. Henry B. Overman, known- to his many friends in this city as "Punk," died Monday afternoon at the home of his mother, Mrs. Agnes Overman. Overman was a victim of the dread white plague, with which he suffered for over a year. "Punk" Overman was the personification of a "good fellow," and he numbered his friends by the score. With a heart as big as all out doors, a ready smile, a quick wit and a winning personality, he attracted everyone who chanced to meet him. Overman was best known in this part of the country as an expert pool and billiard player. At the former game he was regarded as one of the best players in the middle west, having in his time met the best of the experts and defeated with ease. He was also a splendid billiard player. For years "Punk" had charge of the pool and billiard room at the Westcotf hotel. When Manager George Love disposed of his interest in this hotel and took the management of a hotel in Minneapolis. Overman accompanied him and became known throughout the Northwest as an accomplished artist witn the cue and ivories. The climate in the northwest did not agree with Overman and when he returned to liichmond. after Mr. Love's death, h was tiroken in health. Last year he lived a greater part of his time out of doors, but this treatment failed to furnish him any relief. Overman was thirty-eight years cf age. The funeral arrangements will be announced later. ELECTION WAS POSTPONED. Eighth Ward Councilman Wilt Elected at Later Date.

WASTE PAPER NUISANCE STILL VERY MAHIFE T

Prosecutions Promised If Guilty Are Caught. MARS BEAUTY OF CITY. Notwithstanding the fact that an edict was issued some time ago from tne city officers against the throwing of waste paper into the streets and alleys of the city, there are many people who persist in the practice. Spotters probably will be employed to ascertain, the persons who are e-t 111 disobeying tbe city ordinance in this respect and the first person . caught throwing waste pap into the alleys will be "yanked" before Judge Converse to face a charge of breaking the city ordinance. Street Commissioner Dye is particularly anxious to havo the city in good condition when the fall and winter months swoop down on the community. The alleys are very hard to keep clean during tbe winter months, and particularly is this true when they are dirty before winter opens. It is hard to locate the law violators, and unless they are caught, in the act of violating the ordinance. a conviction could not b secured Many people over the city, it is understood, to keep their own side t of the alley clean, dump their trash on their neighbors' section of the alley. MAY CULL UPON THE The Chicago & Alton Investigation May Require Their Testimony. SUBPOENAS NOW READY. CASES STILL PENDING IN WHICH FINES OF $88,440,000 CAN BE ASSESSED AGAINST STANDARD OIL. Richmond people may have occasion to take more than a passing Interest in the proceedings by the government against the Chicago & Alton railroad. This road, which has been managed in alternate years by the Harriman interests and the Rock Is land interests, i3 now controlled entirely by the latter, which means that the Moores and D. G. Reid are the controlling factors and theso men may have to explain the nature of the rebates that have been granted the Standard Oil. Speaking of the case the Chicago Inter Ocean says: Subpoena3 will be Issued today In the ca3e3 against the Chicago Alton railroad and Standard Oil officials, and summonses will bo sent out rounding up the sixty veniremen who are to appear on Aug. 14 to be drawn upon for the federal grand jury which will pass on the Indictments. District Attorney Sims declared that the report that the seven remaining indictments against the Standard would be quashed without protest from his department was absurd. These indictments contain 4,4-'2 counts, making it possible for the court to assess additional fines amounting to $88,440,000 against the oil combine. SAMSON DIES IN MICHIGAN.

Monday the committee met with an applicant for the position, hut decided not to select a man until all under consideration Lave boon rccn and talk-t-d with. It is the idea to secure the best secretary available for Richmond one that will be equally at home in all departments, and who above all, understands Y. M. C. A. mauaceruent. Although lt has been reported in Richmond on several Instances, that Charles II. Brown, field bocrctary, who so successfully raised l.o funds for 'the construction of an association building in this city, would be called to take charge of the local association when the time comes, this is hardly probable, according to a man prominently identified with the" Y. M. C. A.,inter ests, because he Is unacquainted" with the Ictalls of a local secretary's work. His work is confined to an entirely different chancel, and for this reason it is thought he would not be the man for the place, although many of' tha young men have asked for his return to this city. When the building Is completed .the, board of directors and trustees will consider the plan of JnFtalllns a gooJ technical course of study, along tome mechanical linen. v Under theM? elr cunihtances these cannot be greatly enlarged upon, but it is hoped to, Install such a course a wUl be. of great" benefit to all those taking it.
