SHIPPERS SORRY FOR SITUATION.

Delay in Traction Adjustment

Source of Regret Among Commercial Men.

SNEERS NOT IN ORDER.

SHIPPERS DO NOT TAKE KINDLY TO THE ATTITUDE OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS TOWARDS TRACTION LINES.

W. H. Q.

The members of Post

C, T. P. A. as represent

ed by the committee ap

pointed to investigate the interurban shipping arrangement, to see If

some kind of steps could not be taken toward the resumption of freight traffic on the interurban lines, sincerely regrets to see the condition into which this affair has gotten, after it eeemed that an early settlement was In sight. We do not believe that our Board of Public Works should sit back on its dignity to the extent that it is, and refuse to grant something that seems to be satisfactory to the shipping interests and the city council. The T. P. A's have every desire that the city's interests be protected, and they hope that a mistake Is made when the Board of Public Works is accused of delaying the thing for spite work, as we sincerely trust that the gentlemen composing this board are too broadminded to do. It is hoped that an early settlement of the difficulty can be accomplished, consistent with everybody's interest, and at last give the long suffering shippers what they want. The reports that the Board of Works, and some other city officials, are Inclined to sneer at the wants of the shippers are certainly much to be regretted. Richmond's shipping interests are certainly much to be regretted. Richmond's shipping interests should not be sneered at, as certainly the amount of shipping done here is something Richmond citizens ought to feel proud of. We further believe that all encouragement possible should be given to interurban lines that come into our city, for we are now woefully behind a number of our neighboring cities, who hare advantages that we do not enjoy. There are many good towns, In which much goods can be sold out of Richmond, that can be reached by interurban only, and the number of these and their size is surprising to persons unacquainted with the situation. We are only sorry that some of the persons, who are accused of delaying this matter could not be interested in some business where the shipping facilities are affected, on the account of having no interurban freight service, for if they were, they would probably take a different view of, the matter. The report of the national secretary and treasurer, of July 1, showed a balance in the national treasury of $190,172.52 and paid out during the month of June for indemnity, $17,829.08, in which two death losses were paid. None of this money came to Richmond, which shows that Richmond membership was particularly lucky. Mr. H. Il Gard is a very busy merchant at ' the present time, getting his new branch established In our city. We are certainly pleased to note Harvey's success and the best wishes of Post C are his. J. M. Lewis and M. E. Shreeve have returned from their fishing excursion to Sand Lake, and the different stor

ies that they are telling about the doings, would certainly not look very , well in print. Their friends do not question but what they had an enjoyable time. Large things are always expected, when fishermen of the capacity of the gentlemen above referred to, hie themselves away. Their elaboration of the size of the flnney tribe that came into their possession is certainly all right. There are numerous other doings that they talk about which occurred on their visit, which "were something wonderful, and if you want to get a story from first hands

visit the T. P. A. rooms most any Saturday night, and get either one of the gentlemen started, and they can tell you things about Sand Lake, its surroundings and its fish that even the oldest native of that country never dreamed of. Mr. and Mrs. II. M. Kramer are spending a few weeks at James Lake, Indiana. There has not been a regular meeting of the T. P. A's for two or three months. " During the warm weather It is hardly necessary to call a meeting, but we think that a meeting might be held, with profit, at the latter end of August.

BEE HIVE GROCERY

New York, August 1. On a theory that the murderers of the woman whose body was covered with acid and then set on fire in a vacant lot in Green Point would return to the scene, two detectives from the central office, Broidy and Vattls, have been assigned to watch the heap of ashes alongside the old creek bed. Today they saw two men skulking through the lot. The men went to the ash heap and were standing over it when the detectives ran for them, one

of them yelling: "Halt! you are un der arrest."

The men took to their heels and leaped the fence skirting Green Point

avenue. Down the avenue they fled, the detectives with drawn revolvers,

keeping pace with them and threat

ening to shoot.

For more than a half mile the chase

continued. Then the detectives, ath

letes both of them, overhauled the

men and soon had them in shackles

and on the way to Green Point station

One of the men said he was Walanty

Borkowski, twenty-two, and the other gave his name as Julian Kusinski, the

same age.

They were taken to cells to await

further developments. The arrests cje believed to bo important. While the police are now positive the unidentified body in the Brooklyn morgue is not that of Mrs. Mamie Moskovitz, they are of the opinion that the dead woman was a Pole. Both men under arrest are Poles.

Washington, Aug. 1. The official

Aecoringly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanse, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and its component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objectionable substances.

REFORMER

Among Many Things He Wants

Train's Smoke Done Away With.

ADVOCATES ELECTRICITY.

Chicago, August 1. Electricity as a

motive power, which Mayor Busse has urged should be used on the trains entering Chicago, to do away with smoke of locomotives, has just scored a new triumph in being substituted for steam in the longest submarine tunnel in the

world. This is the St. Clair tunnel

under the river connecting the United

States and Canada at Port Huron, Michigan, and Sarnia, Ontario. This is on the direct line from Chicago to

eastern Canada, on the Grand Trunk

railroad, and the first electric locomotives have already been put into service at the tunnel on trains running

to and from this city. The electrifi

cation of the tunnel marks a great

step in the progress of the electrical

science as applied to transportation. The mighty steam moguls which used to handle trains through the tunnel have been replaced by compact, .powerful electric engines driven by 250

horse power alternating current mo

tors. The frames of the novel lo comotives are similar to those of steam moguls, on the frame there be

ing a cab of structural steel provided with doors at each end and each side.

The engines are built as two half

units, each with three driving wheels, and these units can be coupled up to one when desired, with free passage through the doors from one section to another. Inside the cab Is the electrical equipment. Practically the entire operations connected with the run

ning of the trains are carried on by

electricity. A motor-driven air compressor is installed in the cab and sup

plies compressed air notonly for the

operation of the brakes on the engine

and the train service, but also for the working of the various devices on the

locomotive for which compressed air is used, including the operation of the

trolley bow, and the electrically con

trolled switches, the ringing of the bell, the sanding of the track and the setting of the circuit breakers. The tunnel has been in existence about fifteen years and is now one of the most

important gateways of traffic between Canada and the - United States, and hereafter will be one of the smokeless ones.

Acting Postmaster General Makes New Ruling.

Washington, Aug. 1. Cocaine habitues unable to buy the drug at local Efores also will be unable to purchase it hereafter through the mails. Acting Postmaster General Grandfield has

promulgated an amendment to section 404 of the postal regulations which deu'es the use of the mails for intoxicating liquors, poisons or explosives to include cocaine or its derivatives.

Don't Follow Fads in Food Wheat is the food of the ages. Nothing can take its place. In hot weather it is doubly hsportant. It gives the maximum nourishment with the minimum heat. MaplFlake is, beyond all comparison, the food for ssxsasr mornings. O&e can eat meat for breakfast The flake is so thin, and the io winter, because one needs die heat is so fierce, that the food beat. particles are separated to the diBuc the tinker breakfast gesmrre jtrices can get to them. hoM be wheat aiKi fn.it. We resirft a ood f, all moat eat sparmgly of heat-produc- food, fe h alj d ng elements now.

No other cereal, in these days, can take the place of wheat. And no other wheat is so delicious so well-prepared as the wheat in Mapl-Flake. We cook this wheat for six boars cook it in pure maple syrup. Then we cure it for days, so that it partly digests. Then we flake each berry as thin as paper, and toast it in ovens heated to 400 degrees.

A flaked food can be made in one-fourth of this time, and that saving of time saves mosey. But a short-process food is only partly digestible. The other part is wasted. Worse than that, it ferments and irritates the stomach lining. So we spend 96 hours m preparing this food to give you .o4 that's aS nourishment.

Map! -Flake

The Food with the Maple Flavor

We are the largest buyers of Vermont Maple Syrup, and it all goes into Mapl-Flake. That's how we get that delicious favor that children hke so well If you hare fruit for breakfast, mix it with the Mapl-Flake. Fruit adds another deliciousness. This is the way to urge children to eat what is best for them. To eat little meat and much whole wheat. Give them the wheat with the maple flavor and they'll ask to be served again.

Please begin todaj. Don't lose these ideal break-
