EMPLOYMENT OPENED FOR MANY MORE MEN It Is Estimated When New Factories Are Opened and Others Expand, 1, 500 More Men Will Be Used.

The manufacturing progress of the city in the. past year is by no means of small Importance. Every worker is rejoicing over the acquisition of two new factories, the Richmond Underwear Company, and the National Automatic Tool Company; the location of a branch concern of the Indianapolis Glove Company, and the improvements and additions being made by the Starr Piano Company, the local branch of the American Seeding Machine works, and other concerns of Richmond. Citizens thought that the years of 190? and 1909 were epoch building periods of the city, and so they were at that time, but the progress of those two periods does not begin to compare with what has been done and will be dose this year. : The outlay for the new factories and the improvements to the established .concerns, represents approximately $275,000. Some of Expenditures. - Much has been spent in building in previous years, but never such 1 an amount in manufactories alone.' An itemised list of the biggest expenditures on factories Is as follows: $100,000 on equipment and" construction of the new underwear factory; $84,000 on warehouse and addition to moulding department of the American Seeding Machine Works; $35,000 for the National Automatic Tool Works building in Beallview; $50,000, estimated, for the administration building and large factory addition to the Starr Piano Company, and about $15,000iu Improvements made to other concerns of the city. In addition to this the Wayne Works is contemplating the erection of an addition to its : moulding ? department which will cost $20,000, it Is believed. The amount paid, by the Watt and Keelor casket company for the old Rowlett Desk Works plant on North Tenth street,, and . the amount involved in the deal for the Richmond Overall Company's quarters for the establishment of a branch department of the Indianapolis Glove Company, have never been made public, but . it is thought that, something in the neighborhood of $26,000 was involved. Work New Being Done. The National Automatic Tool Works Company's building has been completed and the machinery is being installed. It will be dedicated soon. The building for the underwear . concern ha not been contracted for. The Starr Piano company has made rapid progress on its new administration quarters and work Is also being done In the excavation for the other building. The American Seeding Machine Works has started operations on the moulding addition but work on the new ware rooms -will be delayed until JY KIDNEYS ARE KILLING f IE!

July 1, in order to allow the Starr Hame and Chain factory to vacate an old building. All of these buildings will be completed. With these new factories and the Improvements to the others, Richmond will be situated so aa to give employment to practically fifteen hundred more men. The American Seeding Machine Company will add about two hundred to its moulding force and accommodations for three or four hundred additional employes will be provided. The. Wayne Works officials state that if they had the room, a hundred or more moulders could be added. A like number of men will be able to find work at the National Automatic Tool Works plant and the new underwear concern, respectively. The number to. be added to the Starr Piano company force, with the completion of the new building, has never been given out, ; but is estimated at one hundred at least.

Richmond's Own Stock Company will open ' its fourth week tomorrow night at the Gennett Theater in a new romantic play "When Love Is True." Mr. John A. Preston has another ' piece which he believes to be one to strike the popular fancy and his company will have all parts which should suit them to a niecty. Miss Dorthy Smith has made a number of friends in Richmond and has receLved 'many warm messages of praise for her splendid performances during the past week. Miss Edna Roland, too, has firmly entrenched herself in the hearts of her audiences. Miss Roland not only always looks well, but has a personality which is most charming and captivating. Rex D. Rosselll is also gaining much aplause these days, for his work is always convincing and natural. In fact, Mr. Preston may be congratulated on having secured a company of players who are without a single exception a band of actors who may be always relied on to give an excellent performance from the rise to the fall of the curtain. With the coming of the "Scenic Artist" to the Gennett, Richmond's Own Stock Company has taken another stride forward and after this each production will be especially built and painted. Among the pieces which are scheduled for early presentation are "Ingomar," "Shore Acres" and "The Little Grey Lady." An All Star Bill. The famouh French proten actor, the great Henri French, makes his initial appearance in Richmond tomorrow at the Murray theatre. He is ranked in Chicago as the largest box office attraction, and played a return engagement in that city with unprecedented success. 'Jackson's Honeymoon" is a new sketch which Sommers and Storke are presenting, using as a prelude to their excellent xylophone playing. One of the groom's friends plays a practical joke on the young couple and result may be imagined. Chris Christopher, with his yodel singing and novelty violin playing, Is sure to be popular as well as Pauline Fielding and company in a comedy playlet which has been very successful in all its appearances this season.' Patrons of the Murray should keep in mind that the motion pictures are changed during the week, new pictures being used every Monday and Wednesday. John Robinson Coming. Nearly a century of continuous ovation has characterized the' career of the John Robinson Show, which this season is reaching the proud culmination of its triumphs. No other show in existence can display so continuous and so clear a record, for more than one generation has the name of John Robinson been a household word, and the coming of the big shows that bear his name is ever greeted with a hearty welcome. From the genesis of the show until its present colossal perfection, there has not been a solitary season in which it has not lead its fellows in the multiplicity and general excellence of its attractions, and now it towers above and draws all other tented exhibitions into comparative Insignificance, and this season it presents such an opulence of sterling and meritorious attractions aa to entitle it to be designated as a vast amusement enterprise, whose wonderous wealth of entertainment is unlimited and immeasurable. The circus has always been the best and biggest, always in the van, always prolific in leading and sensational features, and always fully equipped with the finest stud of horses and the most skillful and finished bareback riders, gymnasts and acrobats in the profession; that has a large, well ordered and well selected menagerie contains living, vigorous specimens of all that is strange, rare and curious within the range of natural history. The John Robinson Show will exhibit at Richmond May 12. ZEALOTS DO HARM San Antonio, Tex., May 7. That inJudicious zealots and professional reformers have placed the cause of prohibition in Texas in jeopardy is becoming more evident day by day and Is now being made use of by the democratic faction headed by Poindexter. In a recent manifesto of the Poindexter camp it Is pointed out as sane and obvious that, although the friends of prohibition may insist upon ushering in a drinkless era in this state either by constitutional amendment or statutory measure, the people after all will be the final arbitter. This is a concession ; not made by two of the opposition camps and for this reason may be looked upon as a very fine political coup de main, all the more so since Mr. Poindexter "has declared eternal war against the liquor traffic. The document also contains a fiery denunciation of those who are using prohibition fOs selfish purpose of personal agxrandixement.

Contracts for Plumbing and Electric Wiring to Total $200,000. A BIG BUILDING BOOM ON ARCHITECT STATES IT, IS REMARKABLE THE NUMBER OF HOMES THAT ARE NOW BEING BUILT IN RICHMOND. "It Is really surprising the number of homes that are being erected in Richmond at present," said a well known . contractor yesterday when asked concerning the building outlook in this city for the present spring. 'In fact Richmond is in, the midst of a building boom," , he continued. "You will perhaps be surprised when I tell you that over $200,000 is being expended for electric wiring and plumbing alone in the buildings now under course of construction." The demand for houses in Richmond is said to be greater now than it has been in years. Each spring witnesses a pronounced boom in the way of building construction in this city, but never has that boom reached so great proportions as this season. The growth is probably due to the steady increase in the factory forces and the addition of new factories. A Constant Demand. The constant demand for homes and the inability of the contractors to construct them rapidly enough is assuming alarming proportions it is alleged. The number of building permits tak en out this year is far in excess of the number taken out up to this time last year. Miany of them are also for much larger sums. The many improvements to be made on the local factories is responsible perhaps greatly for the increase, although it is said that more homes are being built this spring than is customary at this time of the year. It Is expected that within the next few weeks a number of the new buildings will be completed. Work will commence on the tearing down of the old Robinson homestead on. North Tenth and D streets next week and the new underwear factory which will be located on that site will be con structed immediately and rushed, to completion. It is hoped to finish the factory which will cost in the neigh borhood of $100,000, by next fall. EAST END HAS BOOM The situation in the eastern portion of the city, in respect to building, is much like it is elsewhere in Richmond. It is doubtful if more houses were erected in any part of the city than the Bast End last year, but today empty houses are very scarce and nearly every vacant lot is being viewed by prospective builders. Both the dwellings for an investment and the dwelling for a home are being constructed in East Richmond. Several have been unable to start work yet, but will 'as soon as they can be assured that they can get the carpenters and other laborers. Frame houses are more popular than brick and cement, apparently. .

National Missionary Congress By Rev. S. W. Traiim

The one great event In the religious world during the pait week has been the National Missionary Congress at Chicago. Three thousand delegates, representing every state and territory in the unien, and every missionary religious body, were there as delegates. This marks the climax of the great laymen's meetings which have been held In 75 of the leading cities of the union. Their slogan has been: "The evangelisation of the world in this generation. The keynote of the congress was the evangelization and unity. As showing the signlfiance of the movement, the most cogent arguments offered In the address delivered on Wednesday morning by Samuel B. Capen, of Boston, chairman of v the executive committee of the Laymen's Missionary Movement, and chairman of the American Board of Commissioners for the . Foreign Missionaries, on the subject of "The Nation's Response to the National Campaign." He said in part: "The first response of the nation to be noted comes from the great number of men reached. In every one of the seventy-five cities in which con ventions have been held, great numbers of men have attended the opening dinner. Sessions Attracted Men. "In Cleveland there were 1,450 men at the opening banquet. In Denver there were 1.200 men. In Baltimore there were 1,555 men. In Kansas City 1,828 tickets were issued and 100 men were denied admission.. At Seattle there were 1.928 men at the dinner, and at Indianapolis 2,250 men sat down at the opening session. In New York 1.769 men faced the worst bliz AT

All denominational lines were forgotten.

"The peril of our day is indifference, not skepticism or opposition, but neglect. Men neither hate Christ nor love Him. They too often ignore Him. The only appeal which centered itself in many directions seems to have lost its power, but this .missionary appeal has taken hold as nothing else ever has.' : . "One New York millionaire said to

spoke irom ine viewpoint m ine nun who builds for investment. However, they both agreed on several matters in. general.- , . -. The architect dwelt upon the honse which has been carefully planned for comfort, as well as beauty. He said . that people who were- planning dwellings for their homes usually wanted the very best They desire from six to eight rooms, all large and comfortably arranged and the outside to present an attractive appearance. All the modern conveniences are supplied. Another important point Is that the home builder usually endeavors to -get a lot large enough so he can erect a house of his ideal without it appearing to be crowded. ' ; . Some of these finer points were not considered as essential by the real estate dealer. He said that in building a house as an Investment, it was some. -times necessary to only plan for the necessary things and forget the ornate features. Such a dwelling must have, however, the modern convenience, fairly large rooms, the more easy to access the better. He says that houses erected along these general linea are readily sold and offered good investments.
