NORTH FIFTH ST. WORK.

. WHEN CHANGES ARE COMPLETED THE RIDING QUALITIES OF THE LINE WILL BE MUCH IMPROVED. The Richmond street and Interurban company is showing unusual activity since council passed an ordinance requiring the company to repair Fifth street under a penalty. The activity of the local company is attributed to the fear of further unfavorable legislation. Xorth Fifth street Is scarcely recognizable, although the improvement work i not yet completed. A fine grade of stone is being placed on the street on a level with the street car tracks and this is being shaped up by the monster street roller. It will be several days before the work can be r.rmnletprf. All the expense of the Fifth street improvement-is paid by the street car company. The company is also repairing us roadbed all over the city, unusual effort to please being. shown since the city ordinance was passed. When completed a ride on the trolly over the streets of Richmond will be much smoother than it ever has been in the past. The lines in West Richmond and Fairvlew are now receiving the attention of the street car company. GOVERNMENT AGAIN SH0WSWILL1HGUESS Official Notice Is Given That City Can Have Federal Inspection. OUTLOOK IS IMPROVED. CITY HEALTH OFFICER BOND TALKS IN A MORE HOPEFUL WAY IN REGARD TO THE SIT- ' UATION. That Richmond will soon have federal moat InsDectlon seems to be an as sured fact, as Dr. Waggoner of the ab attoir, has again been notified, this Mm officially, that if the local houses will comply with the demands of the government, provisions will be made for the appointment of a federal Inspector for the city. Dr. Bond, city health officer, states that in his estimation. It is one of the greatest victories ever won in the country in the interest of health and sanitation. As but few cities have federal Inspection of meat. Richmond will occupy an unique position in this respect. ThJs decision on the part of the government to give the city federal inspection will mean that Dr. Waggoner will have his duties increased and his jurisdiction will not only apply to the abattoir, bnt will be extended over all of the slaughtering places in the city. This Increased amount of work will require the appointment of not less than two assistants. These helpers will be chosen by competitive examination and Jn order to pass the government examination the applicants will have to be vell versed in meat inspection work. Dr. Bond states also that the Ilolzapfel and Stolle abattoirs will soon be in readlnesa for occupancy and that in all probabilities the city will have the Inspection of all city meat within a few weeks. There Is a more hopeful outlook at thi3 time. BEGINS WORK ON 20 HOMES Eastern Syndicate Takes up Building Task at New Castle. New Castle, Ind.. Aug. 15.

CASE OF EMMETT SALYER. HE TRIED TO DICTATE TERMS AND AS A RESULT IS NOW SERVING A SENTENCE IN THE COUNTY JAIL.

Because, as he saw it a room occupied by two was not as valuable to a hotel keeper as one occupied by one, Emmett Salyer refused to settle a board bill at the Brunswick hotel, claiming he had already paid the proprietor, Wm. B. Cox. enough. Salyer, accordingly left the hotel July 1." In company with his wife, owing an $S board bill. Salyer went to his home near Liberty, Ind.. and after Cox had made an attempt to secure the money owed him by means of correspondence, the police authorities were appealed to and they went after Salyer and brought him and his wife to this city. In police court Salyer plead not guilty to the charge of beating the board bill, but after considerable testimony had been heard, it was proven beyond a doubt that the man had left the city to escape paying the bill. Salyer tcld Judge Converse that Cox wanted to charge him as much for a room and board when he and his wife occupied a room together, as he did those who had single rooms, and he left owing Cox. thinking the bill about square. The $s he owed Cox. he said, about equalled the apparent discrimination against him. His wife secured her board and lodging free, for doing chamber work about the hostelry.

IS NOT YET THROUGH WITH IT Standard Oil May Expect More From Commissioner of Corporations. OTHER REPORTS COMING. THEY WILL DEAL WITH THE CONDITIONS IN VARIOUS FIELDS IN WHICH THE STANDARD OPERATES. Washington, Aug. 15. Herbert Knox Smith, the commissioner of corporations is not done with the Standard Oil company. Three more reports relating to the operations of the octopus are now being prepared by the administration trust buster. One of them will deal with conditions in the midcontinent field, and another will have to do with the Standard's grip on the oil trade in California. The subject to be touched upon In the third report will be kept a secret for the present. Standard's corporations have been under the scrutiny of agents of the bureau of corporations for many months. The inquiry made In this connection was the most comprehensive ever undertaken by the government. The commissioner of corporations first "went into the oil fields. The product was foflowed from the well to the consumer and across the water Into the foreign market, the Standard's methods being subjected to careful examination, the results being forwarded to Washington as fast as they were obtained. Officials of the bureau declare that every statement, every charge and each and every paragraph of the reports on the Standard made by the commissioner of corporations Is susceptible of proof, proof in the form of sworn testimony. QUESTION JAS ARISEN Can the Railroad Secure Park Land? The members of the board of -works and other city officials are wondering whether the Pennsylvania will make an attempt to secure the strip of land wanted off Glen Miller park, by the right of eminent domaine. 'City Attorney Study has expressed the view that this can be done but there is much doubt about the matter in the minds of those interested. If the land wanted by the Pennsylvania company were private property there would be no doubt about the question, as the railroad could easily acquire it. The opinion Is expressed that since it Is park land and public property, the railroad cannot use any such means.

COLUMBUS SPEECH A KEY.

CANDIDATE IS EXPECTED TO OUTLINE POSITION ON SEVERAL LEADING QUESTIONS NEXT MONDAY. Washington, Aug. I.". Mr. Taft. secretary of war. expects to deliver his most important speech of the year in Columbus. Ohio, Monday. It will be, in a large measure, the keynote of his campaign for the presidency, and will indicate the nature of the platform on which he proposes to run. It will further reflect the attitude of the Roosevelt administration on a number of leading issues, such as trust regulation and railroad control. It will deal in part with the industrial situation, and, as Mr. Taft himself said to a caller today, he will discuss generally "the state of the Union." One of the most important utterances of the war secretary will be that dealing with the tariff question. Since 'sis New England speech in the last vongressional campaign. Secretary Taft has been accounted a tariff revisionist. Ue then declared that the time was approaching for revision. Since that time the "stand pat" element of his party has opposed his ambition, and made it clear that they would oppose his nomination for the presidency. In his Columbus speech the tecretary will ay that the time has not come for tariff revision. He will say that there should be no tinkering with the tariff until after the next presidential election. This announcement will be taken as a distinct victory by those who have stood for the maintenance of our present tariff system and as a concession to them by the war secretary.
