DOMID CONSIDERS A UtllQUE DEVICE TO PROTECT CITY Preposition Presented for an Automatic Dox System Call- . tag in Patrolmen by Desk Sergeant. SMssawassesst A FLASHLIGHT SYSTEM EXTENDING OVER CITY - f Thccai Lfchts Placed in Doxes Which Also Contain TelePhcnss for the Officers to rtcpcrtOvcr.

One of the moat Important advance etepa toward more efficient police and Are protection in Richmond la now under consideration by the board of works. It la the "patrol flashlight" system manufactured by the Dean Electric company of Elyrla, O. By t3s system a series of boxes are placed oyer the city, several In each district Inside the box, behind power ful red lenses, la an electric light, which may be seen from all parte of the police district. At police headquarters there Is a witch board operated by the desk sergeant. This switch is In direct connection with all the police boxes and; by pushing the button of any box number the sergeant turns on the light, calling the patrolman of the district to the telephone) which la inside) the box. By a proper arrangement of boxes, the central headquarters la la two minute connection wth very officer on the force, even In the furthest districts of the city. In case of a riot when all the officers are wanted, svery district la given the signal , Can B Yield Reserves. . Thus the entire police force on active duty may also be used aa a reserve force, and the necessity of having bicycle men at headquarters to anawer emergency calls, a matter which baa been carefully considered by the police commissioners, la abolished. Also In case of emergency calls the patrolman notified Is always within a abort distance of the trouble. Besides the emergency call, these boxes are used for the regular hourly reports of patrolmen, for which the regular city system of telephones Is now used, and for Ire alarms. The system la considered very compact and It Is believed by Its promoters, will make an - Innovation la police work in this country. William Bailey of the Richmond Horn Telephone company, presented the proposition In an Informal way to Mayor Zimmerman, President Homer Hammond and City Engineer Charles in the boards of works chamber this morning. The expense of installing the) system. Mr. Bailey believes, will b reasonable, considering the extent and careful labor required to install it. May Be Too Costly. "It would be a mighty Ine thing." declared Hammond this morning, "but 11a afraid the expense of Installing It wou!4 bo pretty heavy for. Richmond. It will be taken under careful consideration, after Mr. Bailey submits his exact figures." Mr. Hammond also said that he believed Richmond la large enough to need each a system It its installation it possible from a financial standpoint Tie system of reports now in vogue is unsatisfactory, but for emergency calls the system Is not so satisfactory. There) are two red electric light bulbs bus across the street at the corner of Eighth and Main streets, which eaa bo seen at' practically any place oa Uain or Eight street This Is nasi wtsa an eCeer is desired quickly. However, on many occaalous the fatesSaea do not notice the light and it ta some time before they get in eesBEteatida with headquarters. Tbo present fire alarm system la giving satisfaction. ft win not bo many years before Richmond will neceaaarily either have to establish such a system or keep a amber of emergency call men with Utiles, an automobile or motorcyetef at headquarters. The number of as for, oOcers oa account of ? burffarles, or other trouble are becoming tstflw and more numerous, . as Richirrai is gradually expanding from a Us town to a city. Nowhere can this f r bo noticed so much as at police teadnarers. What the Mayer Thinks.

IDIAIA

WAS DIVORCE DAY

III CIRCUIT COURT Two Legal Separations Were Granted and Another Case Considered. CUPID MADE BAD MISTAKE WHEN HE MATED WILLIAM M. AND CLARA . LUNOY, ACCORDING TO THE EVIDENCE THE f WOMAN GAVE TODAY. Granting two divorces and continu ing another, the reputation of Sat urday being "divorce day" in the circuit court was well sustained. Clara B. Lundy, was divorced from William M. Lundy while Charles E. Embry received his freedom from Nannie M. Embry. The case of Malinda A. vs. William M. Donahue was continued lndeflnitetly. ' Ten short months In 1905 were sufficient to convince the Lundys. who lived at-Williamsburg, that . Cupid made a mistake in ; their union.: Although the , separation ; occurred in January five years ago. the wife did not apply for divorce until recently and her petition was sustained by the court, although he , agreed that the husbapd was entitled to the divorce aa much as Mrs. Lundy. The Lundy woman was about fortyfour years old and her divorced hus band about fifty' when they were united. Both had children by a former marriage. Mrs. Lundy bad a ten-year-old daughter and according to, her evidence it was over the daughter that the first differences arose. Mrs. Lundy said her husband wanted her to abandon the child. She alleged cruel and inhuman treatment, averring that- he cursed her, displayed a revolver and threatened to kill her and her daughter. She also said he -was so cruel to -leave. heror- a week with only a dollar to purchase supplies. : .; r ;rr''M?"Tv. Alimony was asked by the plaintiff and inasmuch as she had furnished house, her claim for alimony was not contestetd. She will receive about half of the amount which he will receive from the estate of his deceased mother. Lundy was not in court being represented by an attorney. The Embry b are colored. Embry charged his wife with cruel and inhuman treatment, infidelity and desertion in his testimony before the court " " REPORT OFJDR.

-:. Conserve the country natural resources. , Drive special interests out of politics. Keep Senator A. J. Beveridge on the firing line. - ,. With no attempt' at oratory, without flourish of trumpet or ' the dls-' charge of red fire,. Gifford. Pinchot, former national forester, spoke at the Coliseum Friday -night making one of the most ' conrftfetng ppeahT--for -the support of Senator Albert J.. Beveridge that, has been made : locally in the present, campaign. The , large audience that heard s Mr. : Pinchot was greatly impressed by his simplicity of manner, his directness of address and the ability with which he made plain to his hearers the three or four important points that be was seeking to impress. Not a word was said about politics in the ordinary sense, and but for the fact that the great progressive leaders to whom he paid such high compliments are republicans, it was scarcely possible to tell that this speech had anything to do with one of the most crucial campaigns in the country's history. Neither the word republican nor democrat was used throughout the speech, but there . was no one in-the addience but .knew full well just what was and who was meant . " ; When in the. course of a summing up of. the present Insurgent tmovement in which' he mentioned the names of the great leaders,' Dolliver, Cummings, Lafollette, Bristow, Murdock, Poindexter ' and others, ' and included in this line of heroic fighters for the public good, the name of Senator :- Beveridge, the audience showed its approval -with prolonged applause. His tribute to the senior senator from Indiana was sincere and convincing, because Mr. Pinchot has been intimately associated with Senator Beveridge for: years. . Is No Keener Fighter. He declared there is no keener lighter, no harder worker In the list of insurgent republicans than Mr. Beveridge, and he has had occasion to observe the Indiana man all through this war and has watched the struggle he has made against the beef trust for conservation and in behalf of child labor. "I came to Indiana to tell the people of ! this state that Beveridge can be trusted," declared Mr. Pinchot "for he has been, tried and ' made good." . . Much of the address was devoted to showing the part that the special interests take in politics and how they seek legislation ; that . will result to their good, and to the disadvantage of the people as a whole. He gave many strong examples ,of the plans that have been followed by the interests to get control of the natural resources pointing to fraudulent operations under the ; land and stone laws, the homestead , law, the swamp land 'law and the desert land law. He did not refer - at " length : to the coal lands in Alaska, an attempt to grab which was made by the Guggenheim-Morgan syndicate, as the facta surrounding this and Mr. Pinchofs part in it is already well known to the . public. From all the facts and conditions he deduced one essential fact and that Is the people of the United States are not merely tired of the special Interests ' but they are terribly indignant and angry. They are determined that the wrongs that have been perpetrated must atop the special , interests must be put out of politics. , . ' ' , ... How They Play the "Game." To show bow fully the special interests take part in the political game, Mr. Pinchot related the circum

stances surrounding bis efforts to get legislation that was of value to the national forestry department Here he found opposition on the sert of certain senators and looking further on he found thia opposition originated with the men who controlled the senators, and who believed their personal -Interests would be affected by the

proposed legislation. He found tt necessary to go, to the ofaces of these corporations in New York City In or der to get a bill passed1 thrc2uthe United States setvatel iXa iUbl to consult the man who pulled the-strfng to ' make the satorhce "before the attitude of. the senator .toward; s proposed . law for the benefit of the great American nation could pe changed! "Such a condition, aocb a humiliating necessity, Mr. Pinchot ' declared, "is a burning disgrace and an abominable outrage. Either, aald he, ' "the ' practice must stop or we must cease being a free people, Congressmen are far too much under the control of the men representing tbe special interests and far too little under the control of the people who aent them to Washington." ' - - "Tlu-re are two kinds of men In regard to this situation' said the speaker, "One who knows the condition and lets it -go, and the other who knows it and is pledged to fight It and either drive the special Interests out or- be driven out by the special interests. The latter have staked their political life ' on the outcome. Some time the public ; will appreciate the work ;of these men . for. their task is as important to my mind as was that of the men j, who laid the foundation for this government or those .who fought to preserve it These . few men are de termined, to . make . this a government of the people and not government merely for the benefit of those who have some commercial end to gain." . Beveridge Returns Cheek. It was In this connection that he paid a high '.tribute to Senator Beveridge - and the other Insurgent leaders and he told of Senator Beveridge returning a check that had come to bim from some great corporation at the very time when he was most "fa Heed or money to carry on' his campaign. "When a man does that kind of thing and keeps It to himself, you may know he is all righf said Mr. Pinshot, "and : l know of few such instances. Beveridge is able and clean and a skillful and an unrelenting fighter. ' t -J-"' '. f'r:':.:::i",:' : "The suggestion that Senator Beveridge be taken out of .politics and replaced with a raw recruit it seems to me, answers itself. - We need Beveridge. V Will you ; people : of Indiana take" out of the ranks this man who' has made good (cries of no!)? I-know him -'through and through and believe' in him. The people who' are making this fight need Beveridge and If; you believe in this fight against the special interests why take Beveridge off the firing line? Why not 'give us the help that he can give? Don't take' Beveridge off the firing line Conservation Problem. - Mr. . Pinchers exposition of the conservation problem was one of much interest and it involves, he said, not only a commercial, but a moral question as well He declared that the country, is using timber three timesas fast as it can be produced endthat we are facing a timber famine. He pointed out the necessity of considering future generations in dealing with the forests and the necessity of making ample preparations for those who, are to live lfty and a hundred years hence. The same is true of the , coal and gas and other resources and especially the water power, which , should not be given awsy-'br-a liberal -
