TO MEET DEMANDS ON CITY EXPENSE Budget of Expenses for Municipal Government Probably Will Come Before Council This Month.

WEST SIDE IMPROVEMENTS ARE COSTLY. fax' on Viaduct Assessment Paid, City Spent Money, and Now Must Reimburse Fund From Some Other Income. The budget of estimated appropriations necessary to operate the city government next year will probably be presented to council at its last meeting this month. City Controller Webster Parry will shortly call upon the heads of the various departments bf the city government to submit their recommendations for appropriations. Mr. Parry will then compile his budget One extraordinary appropriation that council will assuredly be called upon to consider is the west side sewer, appropriation. The Northwest Second street sewer is divided into two sections. The first section has been completed and the city has practically paid Its share of this expense, about $4,500. The second section has not yet been completed. The city's share of expense on this improvement will amount also to about $4,500. The southwest sewer system, now In the course of construction, will cost the city about $14,000. Next week It will be necessary Tor the city to pay out $10,000 of this amount and money must be borrowed to meet the expense. Council will also be called upon to make an appropriation to meet the expense of opening up Northwest Second street, the' city's share of expense In the construction of the viaduct on this street and other expenses connected with the viaduct improvements. Eight years ago west side property owners were assessed to meet the expense of opening Northwest Second street but for some unaccountable reason this improvement was never made. However the assessments collected by the city were expended to meet other items of expense. . It is now up to the city to replace the money secured from the taxpayers on this assessment. Mr. Parry states that so far as he Knows council will not be called upon to make extraordinary appropriations. The amounts required to operate the various departments of government text year will be about the same as required this year. NEGRO WAS TOLD Officer Roberts Took No Kidding From Burly Son Of Ham. HE WILL BE RE-ARRESTED. J. H. Harvey, a typical specimen of the "bad" negro who provokes race riots, was given a fine of $5 and costs this morning in the city court on the charge of drunk. On his release he will be again arrested on the charge of resisting an officer. Yesterday Sergeant McManua took Harvey into custody. The negro was very impudent and wanted to fight McManus. When he was taken to the county jail this morning manacled to patrolman Roberts, Harvey informed his custodian that if he had not been so drunk yesterday McManus would nev er have been able to arrest him. "It's a gooa tning tor you teat you were drunk. Had you been sober and start ed anything you probably would have been brought to police headquarters in a pine box," Roberts informed him. "ioud better not start anything with us niggers, or we'll raise hell. fald Harvey. Roberts Informed him that the police would "be right there when the row started." He also In timated that the police would probably be the only ones "there" when the row was over. Tuesday was pay day for the negroes employed by the traction company, but only one other besides Harvey got Into trouble. He was arrested for in toxication. WAITS UPON NUSBAUM. No Meeting of School Board Until His Return. The next meeting of the Richmond school board will be held as soon as Lee B. N'usbaum. treasurer returns from Petoskey, where he has been spending the past several weeks. At this meeting the board will ratify the appointment of teachers that has been tnade out by Supt Mott. Other important business matters will be at tended to.

Economy, Sept. 3. Henry Cain, 75, died Wednesday afternoon at his home in Economy. He had been in ill health for several weeks, but Sunday his throat became paralyzed which caused his death. The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. Aaron Worth of Fountain City will preach the funeral which will be held in the Friends' church.

ARGUMENT WAS NOT HEARD TODAY Mistake in Date Set for Hearing of Traction Company's Case. A BIG LOBBY ON HANDS. SURPRISED WHEN REFERRED TO AS "CHURCH BELL RINGERS" BY ATTORNEY CHANGE OF VENUE MAY BE ASKED. Members of the "Citizens' Lookout Committee" and other citizens interested In civic beauty, assembled this morning in the circuit court room for the purpose of hearing arguments In the case to enjoin the traction company from placing a line through Glen Miller park. However, the distinguished lobby was disappointed because Judge Fox announced that it was not his understanding that this was the date set for hearing the arguments. He said that his impression was that today had been set aside for the defendant to return an answer to the suit. Attorney John F. Robbins for the traction company, stated that the company had not until today entered an appearance in the case and was not ! yet ready for making an argument. Wilfred Jessup, one of the attorneys for the petitioners, informed the court that it was his understanding that the case was to be argued today. Judge i Fox insisted that he had not set aside ; a date for the hearing of arguments as ; he could not do so until the defendant had entered an appearance in the case. After Mr. Robbins had entered the appearance of the traction company. Judge Fox announced that the argu ments would be heard this afternoon at 1:30 o'clock. Accordingly the Citizens' Lookout Committee and civic beauty advocates again assembled in the court room this afternoon, but they were again disappointed because Mr. Robbins and Ferdinand Winters, general counsel for the traction company, petitioned the court for a delay in hearing the case. Mr. Robbins was asked if the trac tion company would ask for a change of venue. He stated that it had not yet been decided what course would be pursued in this case. Judging from a remark made by Mr. Robbins that he did not believe he wanted the "case heard by a bunch of church bell ringers' this being a reference to the lobby it is regarded as more than probable he will ask for a change of venue. City Attorney T. J. Study appeared in court this morning and asked if the city wa named as a defendant in the injunction proceedings. When informed that the traction company was the only defendant, Mr. Study stated that he made the Inquiry, because if the city had been made a party, he intended to ask for a change of venue. It was decided this afternoon that the argument would be heard Monday, Sept. fourteenth. HOSPITAL NEEDS FIREPROTECTION That Now Furnished Is Regarded as Inadequate. This morning Fire Chief Ed. Miller and the directors of the Reid Memorial hospital visited that institution for the purpose of making plans for the better Are protection of the hospital. Chief Miller has recommended that a six Inch main be extended to the hospital, replacing the four-inch main now in use. This main, he 6tates, could not furnish pressure enough to throw a stream to the second story. He also recommends that the fire plugs be located closer to the buildings. MISS HARRIS TEACHES. Will Be In Charge of School at Carlisle. Miss Ruth Harris left yesterday for Carlisle, Ind.. where she will teach in the public schools. Miss Harris is a graduate of the Richmond high school in this year's class.

Parade of Civil War Heroes Is

Remarkable for Absence of! Accidents and Causes for Exhaustion of Boys of 61 -65 BRIGHT SUNLIGHT AIDED BY COOLING TEMPERATURE Old Tars Bombarded by Flowers Picture of Marching Thousands Inspiration of Patriotism to All. Toledo, Ohio, Sept. 3. With flags flying, bands playing, crowds cheering and a bright sky overhead, veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic for the forty-second time marched through the streets of an encampment city yesterday. Through two miles of streets, guarded by a younger generation of soldiers the Seventh Regiment, O. N. G. who restrained the throngs of sightseers at the ropes, the old campaigners of Grant and Sherman moved to the blare of bands and the pope and rool of fife and drum. At the official reviewing stand, where stood William H. Taft, republican candidate for president; Governor Harris, Senator Foraker, Mayor Brand Whitlock, and many other notables, the colors were dipped and each Department commander joined Com mander in Chief Burton in the stand. The parade being the leading feature of the encampment, many posts timed their arrival for that event, and the crowd of visitors was augmented by thousands during the night. The long and wearing delay at the various points of mobilization while waiting for the proper place to fall in discouraged some of the more feeble veterans, and they joined the spectators. Bombarded With Flowers. It was well toward 11 o'clock when the van of the parade marched past the reviewing stand, where they were saluted with a bombardment of flowers, for which surprise the women of Toledo had been in preparation for some days. They emerged from the floral shower to be greeted by an immense human flag made up of nearly 3,000 children, who, in their dresses of red, white and blue, swayed their bodies so that the emblem seemed to sway as in u breeze. The old soldiers saluted the picture with many a wave of hat or hand and hummed as they marched to patriotic songs the children sang. First in line came a squad of mounted police, followed by the Marshal of the parade, W. V. McMaken, and his staff. Next was a brass band, followed by Commander in Chief Burton, under escort of the Toledo post, and Past Commander 1r Chief and invited guests in carriages. In the order given followed the posts of the various states in theorder of seniority: Illinois, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Maine, California, and Nevada, Rhode Island and New Hampshire and Vermont, Department of the Potomac, Virginia and North Carolina, Maryland, Nebraska, Michigan, Iowa, Indiana, Colorado, and Wyoming, Kansas, Delaware, Minnesota, Missouri, Ore gon, Kentucky, West Virginia, South Dakota, Washington and Alaska, Arkansas, New Mexico, Utah, Tennessee, Louisiana and Mississippi, Florida, Texas, Montana, Idaho, Arizona, Georgia, and South Carolina, Alabama, North Dkota, Oklahoma and Ohio. Ohio's Battle Flags. Then came the association of exprisoners of war and the battle flag division. Ohio carried the old war flags carefully furled, brought from the relic room at the capitol for the purpose. At the rendesvous points of the various departments coffee and sandwiches were served to the waiting veterans, and those who desired to do so were allowed to carry away their cups as souvenirs. Long before the parade started the streets were packed with humanity to a degree, which made it almost impossible to move along the sidewalks. They came early, many with chairs and boxes on which to stand, and they brought their lunches. Every window along the profusely decorated streets, was filled, and the public grand stands had no vacant space. It is estimated that, including the veterans, and their women folk, there were 100,000 visitors in the city. Illinois, with its large representation, a boys brass band from Western Springs and three fife and drum corps, made a splendid showing, particularly Columbia Post, of Chicago, with Its white helmets and trousers and black close-fitting uniform coats. They led the other departments eight abreast, with the department colors under an armed guard, and with yellow guidons (Continued on Page Four.) THE WEATHER PROPHET.

DRAMATIC SCENE BROUGHT SHOCK TO POLITICIANS Gasped When They Heard Foraker Announce His Open Support of Taft in Speech Filled With Laudation. SENATOR REMOVES DOUBT AS TO PROBABLE ATTITUDE Prearrangement Denied Foraker Had Said He Sought No Favors From Candidate For Presidency. Toledo, O., Sept. 3. Declaring that there never had been any feud De tween himself and Judge William H. Taft, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker yesterday openly announced his earnest support of that candidate in a speech so filled with terms of lauda tion as to make his hearers gasp with surprise. Preceding this performance there was a dramatic meeting between these distinguished personages in the; sight of the multitude upon the re-' viewing stand which caused an outburst of cheering. Sensational as were both of these occurrences, a greater cause of astonishment was to follow. In terms not so equivocal to be misunderstood Senator Foraker openly declared that he was a candidate for re-election, and was followed by hi3 colleague, Senator Charles Dick, who, with great solemnity, asserted that it would be a loss to the senate of the United States and to Ohio not to reelect Senator Foraker. In succinct terms he declared that the program In Ohio should be that for which George B. Cox pronounced last year Taft for president. Harris for governor and Foraker for senator. Coming so close upon the incident of the action of the state committee in refusing to invite Senator Foraker to take part in the opening of the campaign at Youngstown next Saturday and the indignant outburst of the ignored statesman that he had been humiliated with the knowledge and consent of Judge Taft, the occurrence of today fairly took away the breath of the politicians and others interested In the campaign. The share of the presidential candidate in the day's doings was to greet Senator Foraker at the reviewing stand with demonstrative affability, and at the Lincoln club meeting to 6ay that he welcomed the opportunity to be present at a reception to which Foraker, Governor Harris and other distinguished Ohioans were to be preX Continued on Page Eight)

IN OFFERS OF ASSISTANCE Definite Dates Fixed Following Conference With Officers of Tenth Regiment Which Will Be Main Attraction. The members of the soliciting committees to raise an expense fund for the fall festival were out yesterday, and it was announced today that they had met much success. Nimrod Johnson, chairman of the finance committee, has not called upon the chairmen of the various soliciting committees to submit their reports, so he is not in a 1 position to state the total amount raised yesterday. The committee to solicit the manufacturers and the committee to solicit the Jobbers and North E street and Ft. Wayne avenue retailers, are out today making a canvass. These two committees are expected to secure liberal donations and Mr. Johnson confidently expects that when all of the soliciting has been completed the sum necessary to finance the festival will have been raised Only a few cases of where business men have refused to assist the movement have been reported. These men, in every case, are ones who have i always refused to assist financially any public enterprise, and their lack of support was anticipated. Business Men Not Alone. " One thing most gratifying to the finance committee is the number of contributions received from men who are not engaged in business for themselves. Several hundred dollars will be received from this class of citizens, more than making up for the amount the disinterested business men have refused to donate. Mr. Johnson states that he probably will call upon the chairmen of the soliciting committees to hand in their contributions next Tuesday. Dates Decided Upon. It has been definitely settled that the fall festival will be held on October (5, 7 and 8. P. J. Freeman and Paul Comstock, of the military committee, visited Ft. Benjamin Harrison, Indianapolis, yesterday, and were informed by Col. Green that the Tenth Infantry will arrive in this city late in the afternoon of October 7 and will be In camp in this city all of the following day and evening. Col. Green stated that it is quite probable two guard mounts and a dijess parade will be held In this city. The first guard mount will probably be held on the morning of October 8. On the afternoon of that day a dress parade will be given. The second guard mount will be given on the morning of October 9. After this ceremony the regiment will break camp and continue on its practice march The regiment j will also parade along Main stijset on Military day, October 8. Col. Green informed Mr. Freeman and Mr. Comstock that his officers would be more than pleased to attend a ball which will be given in their honor at the Coliseum on the evening of October 8.

Gillilan Writes His Appreciation of the Chautauqua Reception

A letter has been received by Secretary E. K. Shera from S. W. Gillilan, the famous Richmond humorist, who gave such an interesting and pleasing lecture at the Chautauqua last Wednesday. In his letter he most highly commends the people in the manner in which they received him here. The letter Is as follow.?: On a B. & O. train, enroute to Baltimore, Saturday afternoon Dear Ed. Among the things I have learned about language, is that it has its hard and fast limitations beyond which it is mere meaningless sound. Therefore I attempted nothing on last Wed - nesday night in the way of an expres sion of my appreciation of the gorgeous reception tendered me by the people, under the leadership of the Chautauqua management. I saw the futility of trying to do anything except the one vital, practical thing without which all the rest would be a failure I saw that the best thing I could do was to let the Inspiration of the occasion soak In and express myself in the way of making good. I knew that all that audiences meant was a chance to deliver goods. They had done their part when they had gathered and greeted me. My part was yet to do. So I cut loose, without any unnecessary palaver and did my dingedesL I passed over, apparently a lot of the features of the reception, but you may rest assured nothing was missed or failed to be recorded in that crowd ed receptacle of my heart where--1

Judge Fox this morning sustained the demurrer of the defendants In the case of S. R. Oxendine and W. G. Al exander, against N. W. Williams, pas- ! tor of the Bethel A. M. E. church, and N. G. Cook, the contractor, who made the improvements at the church, Judge Fox ruled that the plaintiffs had no grounds for action. The plaintiffs desired to enjoin the defend ants from making further improve ments on the church property. have such a lot of fine things stored up about the old town. I know something that Richmond doesn't know, and that Is, why that town likes me; Its because it has been to terrifically good to me. That's the way to like people Just be beautifully kind to them, and you'll like them. Richmond's kindness to me is far more of a compliment to Richmond than to me, in that it speaks of a primary fineness in the town itself, that made it begin being good to me. But all these feelings I had to let stand aside, or rather I let all be merged in the task of delivering the goods to- the 1 utmost of my little ability. Things were piled on me so I could hardly see through them. The band and the bunch of citizens that received me, the fine lot of representative men on the platform, the quartet's welcoming and farewell songs, the introduction by Trueblood and the greeting by the crowd the crowd Itself everything soaked In for keeps, and I shall not forget it In a good long while. I am sorry, for my own sake, that I didn't get to speak to everybody I knew. That was the deprivation to me. But I hope I'll get to see 'em all again, some time, and at any rate I got to speak to them In at least one way. Thanking you individually for all you had to do with this splendid courtesy, asking you to extend my thanks to the rest of those Implicated In the plot, and with loTe to your family, I am, yours unchangedly, & W.
