THE EICHMOKD l'AUADIUM AITD SUN-TELEGRAM, THURSDAY JULY 27, 1911:

CITY CANNOT

BOY A WATER WORKS PLAHT Under the Terms of the Camp field Proposal, Being Unconstitutional, So Atty. Lindemuth Admitted. (Continued from .Page One.) system, city sprinkling wagons, depth Of laying the mains in the streets, repairs to the street upon laying the I mains, supplying meter i and repair i Ing broken ones, - optional meter or flat rates, number of fire ' hydrants. and extensions to water Jinese as the city builds up, and mat y other question arose. Mr. Lincermuth explain ed the company's intentions in these matters. The city will demand that streets which are dug ut by the comjpany must be replaced in as good con'dltlon as they were found. ( m t i i .1.1 . m the company was given a hearing this morning and announced what the com pany would contract to do in case the administration favors its proposal. As regards improvements to the present I system, he said that the improvements ! suggested by expert Maury, who went over the water works system here, ! would be incorporated in the plans of the company. There were, over twenty ! items of improvements proposed by Mr. Campfleld. Increased capacity and an additional main from the pumping station to the city were tamong the improvements suggested. Councilman Von Pien was called upjon by councilman Bartel for information as to the water bill for an elghti room house on South Seventh street. iHis bill for si x month s showed meter rent, $1.50 and water bill for 5,250 Rations $1.31, making a total of $2.81. Under the rates of the Campfleld company he said he would hare been 'supplied with water for $1.80 and by ;the Richmond City Water Works company's proposed rates he would have paid $4. BASE BALL BRIEFS Alexander of the Phillies has struck out 136 batsmen this season, and is in a fair way to establish a new record before the pennant race is over. Hans Wagner was the first to reach the century mark in batting this year In the National league. Helnie Zimmerman of the Cubs also reached the mark last week, when he made two hits In the last game with Boston. If the Si. Louis Cardinals win the National i gue pennant ' George M. Cohan will be $75,000 richer at least so 'the story goes. lie has;been backing the Bresnahan crew at every opportunity at long odds, and yesterday Inoreased the total. Christy Mathewson in -spite of his recent slump, has won more games than any other National league pitcher, with the exception of Alexander of the Phillies, the record standing fifteen victories and seven defeats for Matty and twenty victories and three defeats for Alexander. Harmon of St. Louis and Camntts of Pittsburg have each now fourteen. Frank Chance is said to be anxious to secure Outfielder Miller from the Rustlers. He believes that Boston .will be forced to get rid of this fellow fellow for the sake of harmony. Miller, like Luderous, is one of the good ones that the Peerless Leader allowed 'to escape him practically without trial (Chance has offered Outfielder Wilbur lOoode. recently secured from the Hub, iand Pitcher Toney for Miller. Tall-end major league clubs have ithelr compensations. It is astonishing :how eager, veteran players are to itempt fate as managers of cellar Ichampions. Johnny Kling is said to lhave written his friends that he wiU succeed Fred Tenney as manager of the Rustlers next season. Mike Donllln has his eye on the same plum. (Formerly tailenders were shunned by ithe wise ones. Can It be that Roger jBresnahan's meteoric manegerial caIreer has opened new avenues of ambition? Pittsburg is grooming a candidate for the presidency of the National league next year. Secretary William Locke of the Pirates is the man. It Is hinted that Tom Lynch is in bad with Barney Dreyfuss on account of his decision in favor of Chicago on a protest game played May 20. There will likely be some fun next winter, as iFogel will try his . utmost to oust Lynch. The Charles twins Ebbets and Murphy may be counted upon to join any revolutionary movement. President Grayson of the Louisville (American Association) club lost his appeal to the national commission for $833.33 awarded Jimmy Doyle of the Cubs. Doyle's contract with the Colonels promised him one-third of the money secured in case of his sale. The commission some time ago ruled in favor of the player but Grayson appealed on the ground that he had new evidence to submit. The commission has ordered Grayson to settle with the little Cub third basemen within three days. It is really amusing to note the number of would-be buyers for the lowly Boston Terriers. Hans Wagner is the latest who has ambitions in that direction, according to a message - from Pittsburg. The last from Baltimore is that an offer from Ned Hanlon Is being considered by President Russell. In the face of this a friend of Hanlon says the latter is enjoying a vacation In the White mountains. ' Pclhdisa Want Ads Pay.

The Two Promoters of the Reciprocity Treaty

V, mmtff

President Taft and Sir Wllrred Yjauner, rremter of Canada, who will try to do the same thing in the Dominion in regard to Reciprocity that the President succeeded in doing when the pact was accepted by Congress. If the treaty is received by the Canadian Parliament, Premier Laurier will sign it and it will then be in effect. It is considered a certainty that there will be no opposition of a serious nature in Canada.

HALDEMAN CASE IS GIVEN AH AIRING Two Negroes Sentenced at Eaton and the Doctor to Be Tried Today. (Palladium Special) Eaton, Ohio, July 27. Being found guilty of adultery in the court of Justice L. T. Stephen Wednesday afternoon, Robert Bass was given a fine of $100 and sentenced to thirty" days' imprisonment in the county jail. Ida Keller, the woman in the case, charged with fornication, has been held to the next grand jury of the common pleas court under a bond of $100. The arrest of the couple was caused by Dr. A. S. Haldeman, a former owner of Cedar Springs, near New Paris. Dating back to the time that Haldeman and his wife parted, Bass and the Keller woman have been employed as protectors by Haldeman's wife, who is in possession of the Haldeman home, "The Cliffs, opposite Cedar Springs. It is said that his bitterness to the servants has lately arisen because of the fact that Bass ejected him from "The Cliffs" when an attempt was made to see Mrs. Haldeman. The domestic affairs of the Haldemans culminated a few days ago in a sensational manner, when it 'is alleged he made an attempt to take the life of his wife with a revolver. It is alleged he would .have succeeded had it not been for the timely arrival of William Hart rum, of this city, who heard screams of- Haldeman's wife and ran to her rescue, barely in time to wrest the gun from her husband's hand. A warrant charging assault with intent to kill was filed against Haldeman by his brother-in-law, Charles H. Leach, and his arrest followed. Haldeman was given a preliminary hearing and released on bond of $200, but was arraigned again Thursday afternoon before Justice Stephen. E A COMMITTEE Y. M. B. C. Directors Act on Water Works Case. Directors of the Yomg Men's Business club have appointed a committee to investigate the water works proposals of the Richmond City Water Works company and the E. M. Campfield company. This committee is composed of E. H. Harris, chairman, Willard Z. Carr J. A. Spekenhier, William H. Romey and William E. Russell. The committee will hold its first meeting Friday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the Palladium office. MANY WAIK APKII1S Forger-Bigamist Is in Very Great Demand. Nearly every day, Superintendent Gormon. of the police department, is receiving letters from the police of other cities asking about, requesting and even demanding the custody , of Peter P. Apkins, thine forger-bigamist arrested here some time ago and now held at the county jail, pending trial. This mornine there was a comnranin. tion from Chief C. B. Bowen. of Mer idian, Conn., police, stated that Apkins forged a chack there for S62.32 getting away with the entire amount. The letter said authorities of Meri dian would send a man to Richmond after Apkins immediately if he would be surrendered.

MOROCCAN CRISIS IS NEARAT HAND Reported Today that England Is Ready to Make . Naval Demonstration (National News Association) London, July 27. British statesmen continued today to shape a determin ed policy in the Moroccan situation and important conferences were held at the foreign office between Premier Asquith, home secretary Winston I Churchill and foreign minister Grey. , 1 he presence in England of King Alfonso and the knowledge that he had .arranged a meeting with foreign minister Grey gave rise to unofficial reports today that Spain is gradually being drawn into the diplomatic tangle which has already embroiled England, Germany and France. Spain has large interests in Morocco. Under the tacit agreement with France she has consent to French military patrol, a circumstance which has already proved hateful to Germany. The tensity of the situation coupled with the gravity of the British constitutional crisis is preying heavily upon King George and the king's health is said to be suffering in consequence. That Great Britain is preparing to ;make a naval demonstration off the .coast of North Africa, Was a perscisitent report circulated today. According to this report the Atlantic fleet may be ordered to Gibralter, preparatory to a cruise in water adjacent to Morocco. First Lord of the Admiralty McKenna was in London today for a conference with Minister Grey. WILL OFFER CITY FEW SUGGESTIONS At the meetin gof the water works investigating committee of the Commercial club on Wednesday different features of the proposals of the Richmond City Water Works company and the E. M. Campfleld company were discussed. No definite action was taken.

The committee will demand free water as at present, and that there will be no meter rent charged A fair optional purchase elause will be demanded. City Statistics Deaths and Funerals.

PIIICHOT III REPLY TO TAFT'S MESSAGE IS QUITE CAUSTtC He Says President's Statement Shows How Hard It Is to Make Good Excuse for All Bad Mistakes.

(Continued from Page One.) did not believe this to be the case. Mr. Taft cited both written and common law to sustain his contention that no monopoly could exist in terminal facilities at Controller Bay. He points out that mud flats separate practically all the dry land from the deep water channels, the intervening strip of silt being from 2 to 3 miles in width, under both common and federal statute law belongs to the United States and neither bridges or viaducts can be constructed over it without permission from government. In conclusion the president declares he is in full sympathy with those patriotic citizens who would protect all United States property from corporate control but he deplores malevolent candalmongering which embarrasses progress and prosperity. WILL BHIISPECTED New Bank Opened to the Public Saturday.
