FORMER OFFICERS WERE RE-ELECTED - AT THE MEETING
South Side Improvement Association Held Its Annual Session Last Evening With a Big Attendance. ...;'' FIRST PAYMENT MADE TO THE NEW FACTORY
May Destroy an Old Landmark
three Other Propositions to ' Locate Factories in Beallview Were Received and Get Consideration.
' The annual election of officers for
the South Side Improvement associa
tion was held last evening the choice
being Adolph Blickwedel, president
Hans Koll. vice president; Matt Von
Pein, secretary; and Anton Stolle, secretary, all of whom were re-elected.
Toe directorate of the association includes several who were on the board
during the present year and is as fol
lows: Adolph Blickwedel, Hans Koll, Anthony Stolle, John Hanseman,
Conrad Zwlssler, John Knollenberg, Hdward Temme, and B. A. Kennepohl.
The annual reports will not be made until after the first of the year. Three factory propositions were considered
'but no action taken other than to refer them to the factory committee for
investigation.
. In the re-election of the officers and
directors of the association, the mem
bora showed that they had the utmost confidence and faith in the ability of
the men behind the guns to wisely pro mote the affairs of the association
This confidence has in no wise been
misplaced in the past, as the associa
tion has rapidly developed that section
of the city, and it gives promise of
making even greater strides in the fu
ture. First Payment Made.
The association gave a check for f5,000to the Industrial Realty company -officials, to be given to the National
Automatic Tool Works, as the first installment of the $20,000 bonus for lo
catlne in Beallvlew. The work on
the company's new quarters in Beall
view was reported, showing that rapid progress was being made. Although the association has not as yet raised
the amount of the bonus to be given
through the sale of lots, yet $19,100 has been realized from this source. ,'The entire amount will be raised before
snrine. according to the officials
There were a few lots sold during the nast- week. The cold weather has
handicapped the officials In this work
The factory propositions presented Include a Cincinnati firm which man
ufactures multiple wood boarding ma
chines and employes about 75 men; a
Cincinnati shoe factory and a proposi tion by Isham Sedgwick for the manu
f acture of power wagons, which Mr,
(Sedgwick invented. Each of these
propositions was turned over to the
factory committee. Want Another Factory.
Members of the association would
like very much to locate another factory in the South End, although Just at the present time the association has
its hands full.
The Cincinnati wood factory, which is known as the M. M. Andrews Com
pany, desires to know what induce
menta could be offered, such as factory sites and bonus. There are two buildings in the city which would be desirable for this factory. One is the
building formerly used by the Row
lett Desk company, and the other
the Overall factory building on South
Seventh and H. streets. The report that the overall factory will move away was denied today
by the manager. The shoe fac
tory employs a large number of men
and it is believed to be a promising factory. Mr. Matti. formerly living
east of the city, who is one of the prin
clpal stockholders in the concern, was in the city yesterday investigating the
possibilities. He inspected the Rowlett Desk Factory building, North Tenth street, but dees not favor this site because there are no railroad facilities. If this factory locates here It will be on either the Pennsylvania or C, C. & L. railroads. Mr. Sedgwick's proposition appears to be a good
one. He plans to manufacture
large wagon, propelled by steam, which
would be serviceable lor farm and heavy hauling.

END CAME VERY SUDDENLY
William Lewis, who lived with his
son, James, on the New Paris pike, about a half mile east of the corporation line, was found dead in the kitchen last evening by the son wheii
he returned from work. Coroner
Bramkamp was called, pronouncing
death due to natural causes, most
probably heart failure.

Lewis, who was about 67 years old,
went to the home of a son living on North Fifteenth street about noon. Evidently soon after his return home he started to take off his shoes in the kitchen. In stooping over, it Is be

At the meeting of the board of
works this morning the final hearing
fo- the widening of Center street in West Richmond was held. The board
has had considerable difficulty with
tDe improvement of this 3tre?t. Tlu
Dunn heirs allege that by the widen-
as of the street their property is
damaged to the extent of several hun
dred dollars. Some time ago the board granted $216 benefit but it was asserted by the heirs to the estate
that this was not satisfactory and they demanded $390 more. This morning
the board granted them $100 more
benefit but it Is not thought that this will settle the matter, which will probably be carried o court before a satisfactory agreement can be reach ed. The Dunn heirs allege that a well has been destroyed and a cistern damaged by the improvement.
The street will be widened l0 feet.
The improvement is a badly needed
one, It is said as Center street Is rap
idly becoming one of the most prominent thoroughfares on the west side.
The board at its meeting this morn
ing also made a $300 payment on the
new west side hose house, which is under erection at the corner of Lincoln and West Fifth streets. Work on the structure is being pushed with all
possible haste and will probably be f'nished by 6pring. It is said. The foundation has been laid and work has
commenced on the erection of the walls.

WHAT A FUNNY JOKE
Marshal Daniel Drischell of Cambridge City may be all right when it comes to stopping automobile parties
who insist on breaking all speed records, but as chaperone for a couple of prisoners whom he was bringing from Cambridge City to Richmond yesterday afternoon he did not prove to be a howling success. A. W. Rogers and a companion whose name could not be ascertained, were arrested yesterday at Cambridge by Marshal Drischell on a charge of begging and vagrancy. Drischell with his two prisoners boarded the interurban. which arrives in Richmond at 3 o'clock, for the purpose of placing the men in the county Jail. However his plans miscarried: The unknown companion of Rogers stating that he wanted to smoke a cigarette, was given permission to stand on the back platform of the interurban, after leaving Centerville. When the Asylum road, just west of this city, was reached,-the man concluded that he
did not want to go to jail, and bidding
Drischell. who was inside the car.
goodbye, jumped off the interurban, and beat a hasty retreat across the
fields. The bracelets adorned the wrists of Rogers for the remainder of the journey to this city.
