STANDS PAT At Meeting Today It Was Decided to Leave the Water Works Proposal as the City Had Intended. (Continued from Page One.) panies bid on It if they want to," stated Mr. Robbins. Campfield urged haste so that the city could have better fire protection and the citizens could enjoy a reduction in insurance rates.The recommendations of the special Commercial Club committee in regards to a water works contract proposal was read, but no action was taken on the suggestions made. Attorney Study sarcastically remarked that if the board took time to discuss all the points raised in the report it would not conclude consideration of it until after New Year's day. "I presume the Club decided it should show some Interest in the water works contract and so it made this report," Study said. "The report is in line with the Roosevelt theories," remarked Attorney Robbing. The recommendation of the Commercial Club that the city should share In the gross earnings of the water works company, it was pointed out, did not meet with the approval of all the committeemen who signed the report, Mr. Johnson stating that William Dudley Foulke believed the city should share in the net earnings of the company. Before leaving the meeting Superintendent Howard Dill of the Water Works company, in objecting to the section in the contract proposal per mitting the city to sell its option right, stated that the company to whom the contract was awarded would assume too much risk under this provision. He said that the company should have twenty-five years' contract. He also pointed out that water was becoming scarce and that it would be a serious question within twenty-five years. "We are negotiating for more water rights now and we will have to pay ten times more than we did fifteen years ago," he said. The proposal of R. G. Leeds to provide equal water rates for all classes of consumers was discussed, but not accepted. Mr. Johnson stated that while such a provision would benefit the small consumers, by lowering their rates, it would be a disadvantage to the large consumers, raising their rates. Mr. Dill stated that the large consumers would absolutely refuse to pay the increased rates demanded under such a provision and would not contract with the Water Works company for water, obtaining their supply from wells.

Monte Cross has quit scouting for the St. Louis Browns and is looking for a job as manager of a major league club. Barry McCormick, the Cornier big leaguer has been released as manager of the Mansfield team in the Ohio State league. The verhan. Cap. Anson, who still watches the game closely, picks the Boston Red Sox to win the American League pennant. Jack Dunn has a great tarn at Baltimore this season, and the Rochester Hustlers will have to go some if they beat out the Orioles in the International League race. George (Chief) Johnson, the big Indian twirler, of the St. Joseph Western League team, recently sold to the Chicago White Sox, won 15 out of his first 20 games this season. John McGraw, who has just celebrated his 10th anniversary as manager of the New York Giants, says that the late Frank Selee was the greatest manager that ever piloted a big league team. The Vancouver Northwestern League has purchased Archie Pearsons, the crack gardner of the Bassano team. Pearsons hit for .370 and was the leading batter in the Western Canada League. In a recent game between Davenport and Decatur , in the Three-I League, Davenport made an odd triple play in which two men were retired at the home plate and another at third base. ' Jimmy Thorpe hasn't anything on the Boston Braves when it comes to the decathlon industry. Where the j Braves shine is in the baseball deI cathlon playing ten different kinds jof ball in one afternoon. The best of them fall when they run against Walter Johnson. Ty Cobb averaged six hits a day for three days in Philadelphia, then moved on to Washington, faced Johnson in the first game and didn't get a hit. Pennant hopes of the Chicago fans are IS carats fine one day and not worth a jitney the next. The Cubs beat the Giants and the pennant is won; then the Quakers wallop the Cubs and the pennant is lost to be won again when the Cubs take a fall out of the Dodgers. WITH THE BOXERS. Jim Barry, the Chicago heavyweight, is again under the managemeW. of Teddy Murphy. Joe Mandot will take the trip to the Pacific coast and show the California fans what he can do. He meets Willie Ritchie at Vernon, August 10. Packey McFarland and Eddie Murphy, of Boston, will clash in a tenround bout at Kenosha, Wis., probably on Labor Day. The date has not been definitely fixed.

LOOK FOR DEMOCRAT FOR SECOND PUCE Roosevelt Says He Would Like to Have a Southern Man.

(National News Association OYSTER BAY, July 31.- Colonel Rooseyelt announced today that a southern Democrat will be nominated for vice-president upon the national Progressive ticket, if a good man can be found. "We are looking for such a man," said the Colonel, "but have not found him yet." With a Southerner as his running mate on the ticket the Colonel hopes to break into the solid south and at tract voters who otherwise would support Wood row Wilson. The efforts of the Taft forces in Kansas to keep the Roosevelt candidates for electors off the ballots at the primaries in that state next Tuesday was roundly scored today in a statement dictated by the ex-president. He attacked the whole Taft organization including Charles D. Hilles for trying to prevent the voters, everywhere from having any voice in their own affairs. Colonel Roosevelt showed a letter here received from William Allen White, the Kansas editor, telling of the appeal taken by the Taft men to Federal Judge Pitney in the Kansas ballot controversy. "Mr. White makes a strong statement of the efforts of the regulars in Kansas to invalidate the whole primary by having made the appeal to the Federal court," said the Colonel. "He says the Taft men, headed by Mr. Mullane, who was the rear brakeman on the steam roller at Chicago are now taking the case before Judge Pitney on the constitutional question involved in the fourth amendment, which guarantees to every man his political rights. WILSON JERY BUSY Governor Puts the Finishing Touches on Speech. (National News Association) SEA GIRT, N. J., July 31 With Senators Gore and Culbertson, Representative Redfield of Brooklyn, and William G. Macadoo here for conference with Givernor Wilson, this was a busy day for the Democratic presidential nominee. The governor arose earlier than usual to put the finishing touches upon his speech which went to the printer today. His speech does not compare in length with the one Mr. Roosevelt will unburden in Chicago, it being but one-fourth as long. Preparations were started today for the acceptance day ceremonies on August 7. A large grandstand is in course of construction upon the governor's lawn. The Democratic governors who have been invited to attend the ceremonies will be seated on the stand and the governor will make his speech therefrom while the entire lawn will be covered with camp stools for spectators. LUMBER TRUST FOUND According to Report of Commissioner Reynolds. (.National News Assoclatiovi) JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., July 31. That the twenty-nine lumber companies doing business in this state are in a trust to control prices was the find ing of Special Commissioner Reynolds filed with the Missouri Supreme court today. The report of Commissioner Reynolds sustained the contention of Attorney General Major in all important particulars. The commissioner finds that the companies defendant in the case and members of the Yellow Pine Manufacturers' association violated the antitrusa laws by issuing a price list through a committee, curtailing the output of lumber, entering into joint trade relations and practising what is known as the blacklisting of certain retailers. The companies represented have an aggregate capital stock of $15,000,000 HISTORIC LOVING CUP. Owned In Turn by Goldsmith, Garriek, Dr. Johnson and Burke. The famous literary society of Londiu called the Savage club has traditional connection with Will's coffeehouse and the Mermaid tavern of early days. The reader of Mr. Watson's volume of history and anecdote relating to the club will come across in its pages incidental mention of things that recall names that are famous in our literature. How rkh in associations a simple drinking cup may become is shown by the following: In 1902 there was brought to the club a most remarkable relic of which the lord mayor of London had recently obtained possession. This was a loving cup holding a pint or a little more which, as certain inscriptions testified, was at one time the property of Oliver Goldsmith. On Goldsmith's death it passed into the hands of David Garrick and thence to the possession of one of the literary and artistic clubs of the day. Then after an interval it passed into Dr. Johnson's hands, for ene of the inscriptions engraved on iU silver rim records that it "was presented to Burke by his friend Samuel Johnson, doctor of letters, as a memento of Johnson's visit to Beaconsfield. which tras Burke's home. The date of the presentation was 1779. five years after tha denth of f!oldnrith and five before th death of Johnson.

THEATRIC FORECAST

Some of the Attractions that Will Appear at the Gennett Next Winter. Why Not go to the Good Things When They're Here?

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. People say they have no way of finding out what is coming to Richmond in the way of theatrics. And when. Nor what it may be or may not be when it gets here. Therefore, this column takes pleasure, as dramatic editor of the Palladium, in handing out some advance information. The regular theatrical season at the Gennett will open on September twentieth with a concert by Sousa's band. This is sufficient unto itself "as it were." He, or fhe, who is not acquainted with the career of John Philip Sousa, at one time leader of the Marine Band and since touring the world with his own incomparable organization, must have vegetated in the cellar for the last half century or so. And no one can say that we are getting the cold end of it with a second or third or half-and-half company. There is only one Sousa's band and it will be here. Last winter, by the way, when the celebrated Irish Players were in Richmond some one asked, "which company is this?" This was something like asking which side of the sky the sun rises on. We are not to have the Irish Players in Richmond here this season, for the reason that we had them on their one and only American tour. But we are to have another aggregation of foreign players in "Bunty Pulls the Strings." This play with its original Scotch cast made one of the record runs last season in New York. And such was its hold on the public theatrical affections that a second company of Scotch Players was organized and put on at Chicago where they appeared for months. It is the latter company which will appear in Richmond. For the reason that, so far as the writer now knows, the New York company will hold the boards in that city for another season. This play is a simple, homely one of Scotch life and played by natives of the country in a way no foreigners could emulate. For dialect is hard to assume. Especially that of the Scotch. While insular in its setting, however, the drama is one of universal human appeal. And this accounts for its long runs in the two largest cities of this country. "The Passing of the Third Floor Back," will also be seen here the coming winter. This is the play made famous by the celebrated English actor, Johnstone Forbes-Robertson, who has ap peared in this country for the past two seasons with this delightful ve hicle for his incomparable stage art. The company which appears in Richmond, however, will be headed by his brother, Ian Forbes-Robertson, an ex cellent actor, who gives a fine presentation of the leading role. While many persons in Richmond have seen this play in Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Chicago and other nearby cities through the medium of the more celebrated Forbes-Robertson, there are many here who have not had that privilege. And, after all, if you're consistent, the play's the thing. But you're not apt to be consistent. Some very good plays have been put on by the stock company at the Murray, in instance, but those very ones who flaunt this slogan the loudest weren't so awfully sure they were good plays because masquerading under another name. The significance of "The Passing of the Third Floor Back," lies not in its superior dramatic construction, however, but in its ethical appeal. Its moral, in other words, dominates every other phase of its presentation. And its moral is that preached by the "Sermon on the Mount." Therefore, if the theatre-going public or those only interested in the latter for its moral phases don't embrace this fabled opportunity, let there be no howl that "nothing good ever comes to Richmond." For there will be something "good" artistically and morally. Whatever may or may not be thought of George Cohan as representative of dramatic art in its more superlative aspects, one cannot deny his popularity, both as producer and actor, with the general theatre-going public which acclaimed him as a theatrical success with his "Forty-five Minutes from Broadway." Therefore, two of his productions for Cohan's output could scarcely.be called dramas, plays or musical comedies, being rather unclassifiable which are to come here should meet with patronage, one of these "Officer 666," the other, "The Little Millionaire." Certainly no one can say they never heard of either since every ten cent magazine has recorded their activities and every paper from those who exploit theatrical news in their "boiler plate" to the ones paying heavy salaries to dramatic critics (these latter not published in Indiana, let us say), have had "cuts" of "The Little Million aire" and "Officer 666. Richmond will also see "The Spring son's success, whether with or without the latter cannot now be said. "The Balkan Princess," another musical comedy of parts will be seen on the local boards and there will be a presentation of the revival of "The Prince of Pilsen," with a return of "The Girl of My Dreams " Margaret Ilington will be here, in what play is not now positively known, and Richmond will have The Butterfly on the Wheel," "The Grey Hound," "The Common Law," and ona or two

other of the past season's undoubted successes. Neal O'Brien will make his first bow to the local public as the manager of a minstrel troupe in "O'Brien's Minstrels," to be followed later by the Field aggregation. Two of last season's popularities, "Get Rich Quick Wallingford" and "Mutt and Jeff" will again visit Richmond. It's a safe bet that "Mutt and Jeff" will seore far more heavily than the "Passing of the Third Floor Back." Notwithstanding our justly celebrated reputation as a high-browed art center, painful memories of the

crowds that packed the theatre and howled for the abbreviated Jeff and the elongated Mutt and the scant corporal's guard which greeted the Imperial Balalaika orchestra and the Irish Players lead to such a degenerate conclusion. These are those already booked. During the course of the season others may be added. But of these Richmond is sure. So plenty of time, now, to look into their various theatrical records. This is as much as can be 6aid of the theatrical season in Richmond, Indiana. The musical Eeason, which is allied with the theatrical In this city, will be opened on September 22nd in the Murray theatre with a recital by Carl Morris, of New York, the baritone who met with such an enthusiastic recep tion at the May Festival last Spring. Whether or not the Richmond Symphony concerts will be continued has not yet been announced. Altogether the outlook is not at all bad for passing entertainment during the winter. And if people who are marooned here and have to content themselves with such amusement as can be gleaned from the purlieus of the community do not take advantage of what the theatres afford in the way of entertainment, it is their own fault. SENATE RESOLUTION (National News Association) WASHINGTON. July 31. The Senate committee on foreign relations today reported the following resolutions as the sense of the committee regarding the attitude the United States should assume: "Resolved that when any harbor or other place on the American continent is so situated that the occupation thereof for naval or military purposes might threaten the safety of the United States the government of the United States could not see without grave concern the possession of such harbor or other place by any corporation which have such relation to another government, not American, as to give that government practical power of control for national purposes." ASSISTED BY TRUSTEE George Easton was taken from South Ninth street last evening at 8 o'clock where he had suffered an epileptic fit, and placed in the city jail for safekeeping. He was furnished a ticket to Knightstown by the township trustee today. He has relatives in South Bend, and wants to go to that city. Stomach Trouble of 12 Years' Standing Gives Way to Duffy's MR. FRED F. ZINK. Mrs. Fred F. Zink, 2223 Saratoga St, New Orleans, La., writes of the great good done her husband: "My husband suffered with stomach trouble for over 12 years, during which time he doctored with three doctors who gave him no relieL He kept growing worse, had to be very careful as to what he ate, as things always soured on his stomach, but, thank God, after talcing three bottles of Duffs Pure Malt Whiskey he was c.ely cured.

ABANDON MOVE (National News Association) WASHINGTON. July 31 A sensational move by which it was planned to impeach Judge Robert W. Archbald, without the taking of testimony was abandoned today by the seven managers of the case against the Commerce Court Justice at a meeting of the House judiciary committee. Some of the prosecutors and members of the committee have urged that Judge Archbald's conviction should be demanded of the Senate because his reply to the Impeachment charges admits all of the facts contained in the articles of indictment. After a lengthy debate the committee voted to file a formal reply to Judge Archbald's statement. PETITION OF BANKRUPT FOR HIS DISCHARGE. In the matter of Frank E. Hay, Bankrupt. No. 3424.
