RULES FOR TRAFFIC

Supt. Gormon Will Change Methods of Regulations of All Vehicles.

ADMIRES DETROIT SYSTEM. To establish traffic rules on the streets of Richmond. I. A. Gormon, Superintendent of Police, will soou start an active campaign. Mr. Gormon has Just returned from Detroit, where he has been studying the sxtem In rogue there. Detroit, according to Mr. Gormon, haa some of the best regulated streets, in regard to traffic, in the United States. Richmond has very badly regulated streets, from this view point, Mr. Gormon thinks. His plan will be to, first, force every vehicle to keep . to the right, always. This he will apply not only to carriages, buggies, wagons, automobiles and other large vehicles but bicycles, motor cycles and the like. It is much more Important than the regulation of the speed laws, says Superintendent Gormon. Vehicles will not be permitted to turn between squares but must go to the end of the block. This regulation, It is believed, will more than anything else Improve the streets of Richmond. Mr. Gormon says that In turning corners It Is also Important to keep to the right to avoid accidents.

FIGHT CONSUMPTION

London, Aug. 13. The practical annihilation of the scourge of consumption was prophesied by Sir Lauder Brunton at the annual congress of the royal institute of public health, which met recently at Birkenhead. The great physician, speaking as president of the preventive medical and vital statistics section, said: "Koch's discovery of the tubercular bacillus haa enabled us to combat with considerable success the white plague consumption, that foul disease, which seems to carry off as its victims, the most beautiful, the most intellectual, the most saintly, and most lovable of the household. "We have now the knowledge, whicb

if properly and scientifically and con

stantly applied, will make consumption as rare in this country as leprosy is at this, present time. Y' "Butj as one disease ' disappears another seems to come forward. Appendicits now so common, apparently coincided with the alteration in the method of grinding corn.

INDIANA DELEGATES ARE JtLSO

FOR LEWIS AND IN CASE OF A 'BREACH THEY WILL STAND BY PRESIDENT.

(American rews Service) Indianapolis, Aug 13. With the ex

ception of mnch talk nothing' trans

pired at the special convention of the

United Mine Workers Saturday. Thej reports. of the delegates on the financial assistance, which can be given to the striking miners were continued from Friday afternoon. These reports

will probably be concluded Monday.

When Indiana was reached the sen

timent of the Hoosier delegates was for peace. They were also for Lewis

and in case of an open breach between the president any of the district officers the Indiana men will probably

stand by Lewis. The support of the Indiana miners for the existing strikes

was assured and any assessment

which the convention may agree upon will be paid.

Will Green, delegate from Ohio, aroused some enthusiasm among he delegates when he proposed to tafee up the cuestlon of indorsement of the Illinois strike at once and end the convention as soon as possible. This move was favored by many of the miners. A general strike was advocated by Delegate Gildea, of district seven. Gildea declared that the general suspen

sion of labor by all organized unions would be the only way in which the

laboring could hope to accomplish any permanent results. John Fahy, of district nine, told the men from the bituminous districts they need not look to the men of too men of the anthracite fields for financial support. This was not because the anthracite . miners were not willing to assist the strikers according to Fahy but the work has been so slack that the men are not making enough to keep themselves and their families.
