MAYOR'S VIGOROUS DETHRONE GOMPERS

DEFENSE OF PLANT

Municipal Light and Power Concern Boon to Citizens, He States.

Although he mentioned no names Mayor Zimmerman emphatically declared today that nome of the most prominent members of the Richmond "boosters," who have been making trips in the vicinity of this city lately, could do a great deal of "boosting" if tbey would patronize the rity light plant. He made this statement In answering the arguments contained in an interview with a local attorney published In last evening's issue of the Palladium. Tho mayor declares that the city plant is self-sustaining and is a paying Institution. "The light plant was built by the city but it was not long until this money was paid back into the city's coffers and now the city is getting free light, which during the existence of the light plant has saved the municipality $44,000, the light plant has $15,000 in the bank and has $8,000 In a sinking fund which will be used in paying off the bonds of the plant," the mayor says. "If any man can show me where the

city plant has ooBt the citizens of Rich

mond one dollar he can do more than 1 can." The mayor says that had the light plant not been built the taxes would have been raised to the limit in order

to pay for the city's lighting. Supt. Johnson, as well as the mayor, declare that the Light, Heat and Power company will not. receive another franchise for electricity if they can block It. They say that the city plant With a few additions will be able to furnish electricity to the entire city and will do It cheaper. They say that t is not the idea of the city to make money off the plant but to pay off the Indebtedness and then to lower the rates as opportunity Is afforded and give the citizens the benefit of it. The mayor does not doubt for one moment that a municipal water works plant would puay. He says that on account of the constitutional limitation of city indebtedness that the plant canhot be purchased now, but that there will be a time when the city can come Into control of the plant.

NEW YORK, Nov. 17. New York's twenty-seventh annual horse show, which is to open tomorrow, will have more than usual significance, for it will be the last of these famous gatheings in Madison Square Garden. For sentimental reason, if for no other, the management has planned to make the show this year more brilliant than any of its predecessors in order that the farewell to the old home may literally be made a blaze of glory. One feature that will contribute largely to the succes of the event is the imposing array of prizes that have beela offered, their total value being fully $40,000. But what will add as much as anything else to the success of the show will be the array of foreign military officers who will compete with officers of the United States Army. Three American army officers, one English and one Canadian officer will judge the military events. The Americans are Lieut. Col. David S. Stanley, quartermaster's department; Capt J. D. Long, cavalry instructor at West Point, and Maj. H. J. Allen, of the general staff. Lord Decies, who recently married MIbs Vivian Gould, will represent the Englisharmy and Col.

COAL UliDJiASIIIG Advised in a National Park Report. (National News Association) WASHINGTON, Nov. 17 The acting superintendent's report on the

Mesa v erae .National 'atk. Col was made public by Secretary of the Interior Fisher today. The item of most interest in the document is acting Su

perintendent Wright's report upon the leasing of the Mesa Verde coal tracts, under the new act allowing the Secretary of the Interior to permit the working of natural resources on the national parks. Acting superintendent Wright states that the coal mines on Mesa Verde are in working order and that they are supplying coal to the town of Colfax. During the year 226 tons have been produced from this mine up to July 1, 1911. Acting Superintendent Wright suggests that the government relinquish its control on the territory surrounding Mesa Verde. He believes that the recent treaty with the Utes will bring under Federal jurisdiction pro perty far more valuable than that immediately surrounding the park. Mr. Wright also says that it is impossible to properly police the surrounding country because of the small range force. He further suggests that Congress be requested for an appropriation of $41,615 for the maintenance and improvement of the Park during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1913.

PHYSICIAN HAD A VERY CLOSE CALL

The slippery condition of North Tenth street, as a result of oiling last summer, is given as the cause for the automobile accident to Dr. Charles Marvel at Tenth and North A stret on Friday morning. While driving south on the street, running at a moderate rate of speed, he turned to pass a wagon, his machine skidding and almost turning around, shot toward the east curb in front of the residence of E. G. Vaughn. The two wheels on the left side of the car were snapped off on striking the curb and the machinery damaged to a considerable extent. During the short interval his machine was part of the time skidding and the rest flying through space. Dr. Marvel had horrible visions but escaped without injury. He was not even shaken up. The machine will be in the repair shop for several days, new parts being needed.
