GOSiO SERVICE IS

(PROMISED PUBLIC Home Telephone Company ( Makes Statement to the J Palladium Today. Editor of Palladium: , Rellitlve to your article of August 26, ! relativ e to the communication from the I Commercial club, I beg to. state, that 'such a communication was received and wjas of the most friendly attitude. Thei object was to call the company's attention to the fact that some com plaint had been registered to the Com nereis 1 club relative to the telephone service. "The! telephone service has been very !nuch hampered In Richmond as well as otbr surrounding cities, due to sev 'eral severe wind, rain and lightning atormit that we have had during the yvmmjir. - Prompt action has been taken on) these occasions to put every Iphonef back in service at the earliest poesityle moment and we wish to assure ojirr patrons that it is the earnest Mesire( of our company to render the west aind most efficient service possible for any telephone company to render antf that to this end the company fwlll entire no energy or money, as it is ps muph to our interest to have our toatronp entirely satisfied as It is to weirs. Should Read Rules. We wish to take this opportunity to cal the, attention o fthe public to the fact thai we find that hardly any one Will take the time to read the rules laid down In our directory, which, is carried out will materially improve their service, as it Is frequently the method In which the phone is used jthat causes trouble, f. For instance, we find that over SO bor cent of the complaints registered Euro that parties claim they can not peach oertaln numbers.. This is due (to the fact that the calling party does not give the called party sufficient me to answer and I think that if this ne Item were given a little attention y the subscriber they would find con-( ltlona very much improved. The moment the average person takes down his telephone receiver he becomes impatient. The automatic telephone service is rapid and he at fence feels that he has been waiting a minute or two when in fact he has jbeen waiting only 30 seconds. Giving time to answer would also eliminate a great many cases where bells ring and the party receives no answer. . Richmond is about ten years ahead of the average city in the rendering of ' telephone service, as the majority of the cities in this section of the country are operating the old manual system and I feel that If the people of Richmond had to go back to the manual service there would be an everlasting Wail. However, -we wish to improve the service and make it more perfect and Immediately on receiving the comEiunlcation from the Commercial club ctlon was taken for a thorough investigation and a complete test of the - system has been already commenced. Also four or five extra men have been put on so as to go through all departments thoroughly with a view of eliminating every possible cause or reasoa for trouble. Our company Is also , Installing at the present time some newly discovered automatic trouble detectors which will at once report any switch out of order. . Trouble Will Happen. Aa stated above we are anxious to 1 fender the most perfect telephone serIrtoe that can be produced and we wish to have every phone working all the e It possible, but we must realize t It la just at much Impossible to ,ve all the phones working all the as It Is to have everybody well the time. I, however, wish to take opportunity of requesting every Eirlber to please read the rules down In their directory. Treat a aa they would have others treat teem In their calling and give them fame to answer. If the subscribers Mil co-operate with us to this end I am bold to make the statement that ire can have and will have the best elephone service In the country, as ohmond has one of the best and Cbs Body Covered with Largo Sores.

Connor seriously wounded as the result of being shot from ambush last night at Indian Springs. Four white men, Jesse Singley, J. R. Connor, Chas. T. Thornton and G. W. Thornton were fired on from ambush. Singley was shot through both thighs and bled to death. J. R. Connor was shot through the left leg and is in a serious condition. ' The shooting was the outcome of trouble between Clerk Guy Lane, of Monticello, of the Elder hotel and the negro porters. The negroes, went on strike - demanding . Lane's discharge which was denied. Bill Stubbs and his boy, negroes, were arrested this morning at Indian Springs and sent to Atlanta for safekeeping.: ' ..W It is thought there are others implicated in the killing of Singley and the wounding of Connor. Feeling . is running high -and there is almost sure to be further trouble tonight. . V Troops are being held in readiness and in case of necessity will be sent to the scene. Guests of summer resorts at Indiad Springs are leaving fearing trouble and several hotels may be forced to close. GOT THE WRONG CUE. Tern Keens Didn't Giva ths 8sms One MeCulleugh Did. When Tom Keene took long tours through the northwest, where traged; Is still In favor, he used to keep h:-. company down in numbers on accouui of the jumps sad the high, rsllrout' fares, writes Drury Underwood. Ther. were various ways of doing this, soci as by doubling and by putting a th suit on the electrician now and then One play had a long cast, however and the advance agent was instruvter to pick up some local man for one o .the "bits." Keene arrived In a on: night stand and made bis way to th theater to meet the recruit for the pla In question. He Introduced himself t the manager aad explained the situa tlon. The local dignitary said: "Tbtr has been arranged. Mr. Keene. Jones the bouse property mas. is going ti play the part. I'll send for him." Jones appeared presently, fie yawn ed and stretched his arms contiaunll.v putting two or three gaps In every sea tence. The part consisted of two lines but on them hung the vital situation o' the play. Keene sized Jones up fo his' wardrobe and then ssked him if li was ready te rehearse. "No," said Jones. "I played the par with McCullough twice." That seemed premising, and Keen was satisfied. The particular scene o! the performance came, and - Keene. looking Into the wings, saw Jone? yawnlng and stretching. He gave him the speech for bis entrance, but Jones did not budge. He repeated It without success and then had to fake the scene. which fell flat, ruining the performance. Keene came off the stage in a fury and spluttered. "Why Oldnt yon come on when you saw ; m waiting there T "Didn't get my cue." said Jones. "I gave it to you twice." "Not the cue McCullough gave me. "What cue did he give you?" "Come on. yon Idaho sausage.1' What Wsa Lscking. - The Hobo Please, mum. rma sick man. De doctor gimme d!s medicine but I needs assistance In takln' at. The Lady Poor fellow!

"Our programs are colored by thte size, temper and character of the aud'.ences and sometimes one we may have arranged may not be appropriate at the time it was to have been given. It is therefore almost impossi ble to give any definite idea before hand of what compositions will be in cluded' at any particular hour." It might be Interesting to those who care for bookplates that Mr. William Jennings Bryan, who appears here on Tuesday, has a good one which he uses in the books in his library, And that 'it is characteristic is shown in the fact that it is what is termed a portrait plate" and that the portrait is of) Mr. Bryan himself standing In his own library. This harmless egot ism jis typical of other qualities in Mr. Bryan's admirable makeup. ; But even more illuminative is the fact that me includes in his bookplate, his- wife's name, the plate reading Mary and William Jennings Bryan." For this gallant consideration, Mr. Bryan should win the vote of every suffragette. Byron , W. King was at one period earlier in his career a member of the old Pittsburg Stock company, in the days when such theatrical organiza tions were maintained in the larger cities and which would support all the stars of the day, Booth, Barnett, McColloughand other famous actors having played a week at a time with the Pittsburg Stock, as in other places.

CLARK IS CROWDED OUT OFUUELIGHT Underwood Got All the Publicity Because New Rules Bound the Speaker.

BY SIDNEY E8PEY WASHINGTON, Aug. 26. There Is undoubted rivaly over the House leadership between Speaker Champ Clark and Chairman Oscar Underwood, of the Ways and Means committee. This centers in the ambition of each to be President of the United States. In the beginning of this congress there seemed to be no conflicting aspirations between these two Democrats. The name of the new Speaker was on every lip, and he appeared to tower infinitely above the head tof his associate from Alabama. But times have changed. It has developed that under the new rules of the house the Speaker is nothing more or less than a figure head. v No pow er attaches to this once powerful office. There is some glory in presiding over the lower house of congress, but there is little for the Speaker to do aside from ruling upon parliamentary questions. Tended to Obscure Him. All this has tended to obscure Speaker Clark. He has had no committeemen to appoint, and therefore no great body of representatives under obligations to him. - - He has had no committees or Individuals approach him and ask if this measure or that measure might come up for consideration. He had had but few requests for recognition from the floor. As a result he has been more or less ignored in carrying out the program of the party caucus. All this, too, is in direct contrast with the power that centered in ,the Speakership under Joseph G. Cannon, of Illinois, v . ' . At that time the Speakership was regarded as the most powerful office in the government, not excepting the Presidency. But that is past. When Speaker Cannon was shorn of his great authority, Speaker Clark was shorn by the same act. On the other hand, Chairman Underwood has figured more prominently before the country during the extra session . than has any other member of either, branch. He had led all the tariff fighting. He -has practically framed the wool, the cotton, and the free list bills. He put reciprocity through the house, and had, within the past few days, represented the whole house on the conference committee. Incidentally, the Alabaman has developed real leadership, and has kept his Democratic majority squarely behind him throughout the whole session. This has given him a creditable reputation throughout the century. -An Underwood Boom. Then came the Underwood Presi dential boom. It was initiated in Ala bama, and for a time was regarded simply as a local effort to pay a compliment to a favorite son. Nobody out6ide Underwood's state seemed to take the matter seriously,- and least of all was a serious view taken of it in Washington. -. When the Ways and Means chairman clashed with William Jennings Bryan, and when he was found to have practically every Democratic member of the house behind him in his fight, his Presidential boom was given sudden and startling inflation. Politicians began to take notice of , Underwood, and to estimate his chances for the Presidential nomination. As Speaker, Clark's star waned, Underwood's grew brighter. It would not have been human in the Speaker to sit idly by, and see his lieutenant pass him in this fashion, l He did sit still, however, insofar as appearances kwent, but the gossip is that he did Jnot approve of the attack upon Bryan, and tnat ne saia so to a numner oi his personal friends in the house. -i Clark has been a Bryan man many years. He was for Bryan when the Nebraskan first jumped into fame, and has been consistent in his support of TRIAL ind whrni f nr miia Tm.. i -fc.l T ... a Better act than to send thla notice to i poor ennercr of Ecaeana f J.

the Peerless Leader. Aa a reward for

this, current report baa it that the Speaker would receive Bryan's support for the nomination next year. . Mr. Bryan even placed his O. K. on the Missouri statesman, which was taker to mean that the Bryan influence would be thrown to Clark, should the Missonrian be a candidate for the Presidential nomination. ' -x Naturally the Speaker thought himself entitled to the support of the house majority in the nomination fight. He had led the Democrats when they were in the minority, and, now that they are in control of the bouse, he felt that he should command their support ahead of any other member of the body.;., ... Made Clark Peevish. When he found the majority membership of the house taking the side of Underwood against Bryan, and found that the Ways and Means chairman was more potent in his leadership than the speaker had ever been, Mr. Clark was naturally displeased. To add to the unfriendliness said to exist between the two Democratic leaders word has come to the ears of the Clark leaders that a full fledged movement has been inaugurated . by i the Underwood people to capture most of the Eastern votes In the National convention. An effort is being made now to divide the New York delegation giving Underwood a share of the votes from that state. Unless the New York delegation should be united around some local man like Dlx or Gaynor, it probably will split when the convention meets. Wilson will get some of them, Harmon will get some, and the proposition now is to give Underwood the remainder. This leaves Clark out of consideration entirely, In spite of the fact that his friends put him into the field aa a Presidential candidate months ahead of the first mention of Underwood for that honor. It would be folly to assume that the two house leaders are growing fonder of each other day by day. They are not. They are getting farther and farther apart . They may pull together In the house for the good of the whole party and the chances are that they will. But, as their ambitions become manifest, it will be found that they are political enemies.

pounded In harmony with this new theory, becomes the original remedy to kill the dandruff germ. Since then, numerous preparations said to be "just as good' as Herpkide have been thrown upon the market; others have adopted Herpicide claims, and without making any change In their remedies, bnt none have ever reached the same degree of popularity. Everywhere this remedy Is 1 recognized as the one genuine dandruff germ destroyer. As a result Herpicide has more satisfied users than all other hair preparations combined. Being the original remedy, users expect more astonishing; results from Herpicide than they would look for from any other preparation and they usually get them. So wonderful has jbeen the success of this germicide that it is now recognised as the stand ard hair remedy of the world. Herpicide kills the dandruff germ. ; checks falling hair.
