COMMITTEE WILL RECOtlSlOER THE . SM0KE0RDH1AI1CE When Measure Came Up for Second Reading It Was Opposed Because It Provided for New Office. ENGINES CAUSE MOST OF SMOKE NUISANCE Campaign to Have Weeds in Vacant Lots Cut Will Be Started . by City. Complaints About Sewers.

After a motion made by Councilman Alphons Welshaupt, the smoke ordinance, which was up for second reading In council last night, was sent back to the committee on ordinances and franchises with the recommendation to eliminate the clause creating the office of smoke inspector. The office will be placed in charge of the board of works or chief of the fire departc It was believed by council the adQ.utfflal salary necessary to pay a smoke Inspector could not be met with the present financial condition of the city. Various Richmond factories will be visited and an effort made to obtain their consent to eliminate the smoke nuisance as far aa possible. The Richmond Raking company and Commons Dairy company have been visited and have promised to remedy the trouble. Stokers have been Installed at the Richmond Baking company but some of the councilmen claimed the smoke was as bad aa ever. It Is however believed the manufacturers will co-operate with council on the matter. Engines Are Offenders. Engines on the C. ft O. railway near both the North and South End stations were complained of as being "something fierce," In the amount of black smoke emitted." One councilroan saia tney were worse man wi ine factories In Richmond put together. He said every rooming about six engines would line up on the tracks and "steam up" making a tremendous amount of smoke. Health conditions near these stations are regarded as very bad. . It waa declared many people in these vicinities are being troubled with very bad physical condition. It waa stated it is Impossible to live and enjoy life near one of these railroad stations. Other councilmen oppose the ordinance on' the ground it will work a hardship to many manufacturers in Richmond, when really cnly a few are at fault. Councilman Will H. Bartel asked the board of works to appoint a committee of three to call on the Richmond Baking company and the Commons Dairy company and to request these companies to remedy the smoke nuisance created by them. Ha stated there were many factories which made little smoke and that all should not be made to suffer for the faults of a few. The ordinance and franchise committee was ordered to report on the ordinance at the next meeting of coVncil. Complaints en Weeds. Weeds In vacant lots of Richmond have been the source of much complaint to councilmen and It was decided by council to Investigate every case reported to the board and order the weeds cut. If these- are not removed within ten days the board will order them cut 'and charge the expense to the taxes assessed against the properties. City Attorney , A. M. Gardner said the people could Te forced to cuf their wvwum ur uir c&jiriise cuargeu 10 mem. This is under a law that was passed by the state legislature at the last session. Sanitary Inspector Scherb will serve notice on the people owning lots covered with weeds. The of fense is under the jurisdiction of the health department. Disagreeable odors arising from ewers alonst the river bank were reported by Councilman Frank L. Waldele. There are a number of sewers on the west side of the valley emptying near the top of tho bank. The contents of the sewer is left to ruu down the bank and when ever there Is a wind from the east the odor of the .foul waste Is driven back through the sewer and it comes up at the first ' catch basin. " Mara Valley's Beauty. It Is considered nmt unhealthful besides marring the beauty or the valley. Mr. Waidele said there are a half dosen of these sewers emptying near the top of the valley and only one that la sanitary. This sewer is just north of the Doran bridge and flows Into the liver just below Its surface so that no foul odor Is sent up. Mr. i nf.U.I. wan. oil tK. mmtm structed In this manner Hayor Zimmerman said that all snch Improvements would be considered la making up the tax rate for 111 and that the rate would be made high enough to make an necessary improvements in the city.

A MEAN TRICK. Notwithstanding the fact that H. Parry, assistant pressman of the Palladium positively permitted It to be understood he was not to be married to Miss Ruth ' Beall, the popular daughter of Mr. and. Mrs. Cash Beall, until tomorrow, . and that he knew members of the Palladium staff had arranged to appropriately celebrate theevent at that time, he committed matrimony this morning without honorably notifying his fellow workers of the change of . schedule. Members of the Palladium staff would still be In-the dark as to his action if it had not been that one of the reporters saw Mr. Parry with a bride and three suit cases doing a Marathon Jn the direction of the P. R. R. station. For his lack of consideration for his fellow workers it will now be necessary to call off the proposed celebration. Mr. and Mrs. Parry were married at the parsonage of the First M. E. church by the Rev. Mr. Radcliffe.

It has been proposed that Wayne coun ty send its Insane to this private in stitution until they can be admitted to state hospitals.

It has accommodations for six ty patients and those In charge declare provision will be made for this county's Insane as conditions make. neces sary.

10 HOLD HIOUEST OVER DUNLAP WHO ASSAULTED GABEL

Authorities Are Confident that Man Who Shot Popular Centerville Physician Is Mentally Weak. WOUNDED MAN TODAY IS RESTING EASILY And His Complete Recovery Is Now Anticipated Would-be Slayer Is Being Closely Watched at Jail. Practically convinced that George Dunlap of Centerville who shot Dr. Harrison Gabel of Centerville at that place yesterday morning is - Insane, state's attorneys may not prosecute the charge of assault and battery with intent to commit murder which was formally filed in the circuit court this morning. An inquest may be held on Dunlap who is still confined in the county Jail, and the decision of the investigating physicians as to the man's mentality will have much to do with the further action of the representatives of the state. Apparently Dunlap is insane and all those who have talked with him hold this opinion, but whether he is shamming is another thing. Care will be exercised by the state in not sending the man to an insane hospital if he rightly belongs in a penal institution for his murderous attack. Reller to Defend Him. William Reller, pauper attorney, has been assigned by Judge Fox of the circuit court to handle the defense of Dunlap. Mr. Reller has had no opportunity to investigate the case, being assigned to the defense only this morn ing, and he said that he did not know what Dunlap's defense would be. Judge Fox has fixed Dunlap's bail at 12,000 but It is not known that any effort has . been made - to raise this amount. Dunlap does not have . the required amount of property to effect his own release and his friends apparently are few. His arraignment on the charge of assault and battery with intent to commit murder will not be made for a day or two. He will be held in the county jail and his actions carefully watched. Dr. Gabel is resting easily and his recovery is believed to be only the matter of a few weeks. No fears are entertained that blood poisoning or other complications will set in. reeling Has Subsided. - The high feeling which was man! fest for a short time after the shooting has entirely subsided in Centerville. Gabel's friends have refuted every alleged charge which Dunlap gave yesterday in an interview and which he assigned as the cause of the trouble between Dr. Gabel and himself. Not only did Dunlap hold animosity towards Dr. Gabel and Marcellus Beitzell whom he attacked four years ago but there are a number of other residents of Center township who had complained to the authorities about him. His crabbedness and sulkinesa had led these complainants to believe that they might be attacked. He seldom, worked, was unsocial and those who know him said that he spent his time walking. He had plenty of time to consider imaginary wrongs which he felt had been done him. BOARD REORGANIZED. Organization of the Richmond school board to comply with the state law was effected yesterday. The organization remains the same as heretofore with Dr. M. F. Johnston, president; I B. Nusbaum, secretary and treasurer, and S. S. Strattan, Jr.. the third member of the board. .
