BEVERIDGE GETS A FINE OVATION III THIS CITY

Says the American People Need a Strong, Honest Man Like Roosevelt to Lead Reform Work. (Continued from Page One) by the interests that do not want the laws written on the statute books. To bring about these great changes we need a great man, and we have a great leader Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt the Man. "Roosevelt's record Is one that shows that he has the experience and the power to do great things. I was In the senate when the great forward movement in America politics began. He put through the commerce and labor commission, the great railroad law of 1906, the pure food law, the meat inspection law and the conservation law. "We got through the railroad law of 1906 only after months of the most desperate fighting and after all the republican and democratic senators owned by the special interests attempted to check it. We would have failed had it not been that the American people had a friend in the white house. Drove Out Lobby. "Then came the Panama canal fight. The lobby of the transcontinental railroads was the most powerful organization of Its kind in Washington. It was active day and night, for the great transportation companies feared that the digging of the canal would cut down freight rates. In six months Roosevelt drove that lobby out and began the canal." "And he will open it, too," exclaimed an interested delegate. "Why not?" was the rejoined of Beveridge. "If you believe in party affiliations, and think that you cannot leave the republican party for that reason, tell jne, how long would it have taken Taft to get the canal measure through congress?" "A generation," yelled one hearer. "One hundred years," answered another. Hat No Precedent. Continuing his review of Roosevelt's achievements, Beveridge maintained that Roosevelt's action in stopping the Russo-Japanese war marked him one of the world's great men. "Roosevelt was enough of an American to make a precedent in that case and carry it out to a glorious finish. Nowhere in history was there a precedent of a power Interfering in a war between two powerful-nations. But Roosevelt In the name of our great nation and of humanity demanded that the war cease." That act is enough to make his name sure on the scroll of history." Beveridge closed his address by invoking the spirit of Morton and Lincoln over the county and state. "Over our broad land is walking the spirit of Lincoln to lead us not to destroy ' but to build and to make this nation the great nation God ordained it to be."

CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSES STREETS MONDAY EVENING

A resolution providing that all moneys received by the city from license vehicle checks hereafter be placed in a special fund for the permanent improvement of one street, was unanimously passed by the common council last night. It is expected that nearly 55,000 will be received this year, and enough of this sum will be used to pay the city's share on the improvement by bricking of Main street from Fourth to the bridge. North Third J Ftreet will be the next street improved from the proceeds of this fund. After spirited discussion on the advisability of paying Dr. J. E. King, this city, to represent the city at the international congress of hygiene and demography at Washington this month, council refused to appropriate money for the purpose. Dr. King insisted that the city pay his expenses. The council committee has sent pictures and maps of Richmond, but will not send a representative. Promises New Bridge. Mayor Zimmerman sprang a surprise when he said that a new bridge over the small branch passing under the 1 eastern driveway from Main street would soon be placed there. He refused to say how or when, but stated that "when the time comes the bridge will be forthcoming." When Councilman Williams asked if two road rollers instead of one should not be used by the city, councilmen went on a wordy rampage regarding the streets of the city. Councilman Wessel asked for an ordinance prohibiting interurban cars coming into the city to discharge passengers on the Main street at Eighth and Main street, holding this to be dangerous in view of the congested traffic at that point. He recommended requesting the car company to have the cars stop on South Eighth street, around the corner. The city attorney will take up the matter with the car officials. Private Meeting Tonight. Mayor Zimmerman then announced to the council that a private meeting of the council and the board of works would be held Wednesday evening. Mayor Zimmerman stated he believed the council and board could decide upon the remaining provisions of the proposed waterworks contract and make such headway that the board of works could complete the legal steps and advertise for bids Thursday, or early next week. Mayor Zimmerman informed council that S. W. Jordan, newly elected member of the school board, had notified bis that his bond $250,000 as treasurer of the school board, had been arranged GIVE SUPPLIES TO INSPECTORS TODAY Inspectors in the various sixty-four precincts in the county are calling for their supplies at the office of County Auditor Bowman in anticipation of the next registration day, next Friday. IN POLICE COURT Although he pleaded for another chance, in which to prove his independence of intoxicating drinks, and although he declared that he would leave the city, William McGee was this morning fined $10 and costs on the charge of public intoxication. McGee has been arrested on several previous occasions, but each time has promised not to reappear in police court on a similar charge. When McGee declared that if released, he would leave the city, the mayor was inclined to give him "another chance." But upon second thought, the court decided to impose a fine. Thomas Hutchinson was fined $5 and costs on the charge of public indecency. Upon the charge of public intoxication, Dan Schools and Charles Conley were each fined $1 and costs. A hearing will be given "Ed Anderson and Bob Devinney, in police court tomorrow morning on the charge of selling liquor unlawfully. CARRIERS RETURN Henry Weisbrod, Harry Fisher and John Elliott, three local rural mail carriers have returned from Shelbyville, Ind., where they attended the tenth annual convention of the Indiana State Association of Rural Mail Carriers. About three hundred visiting mail carriers invaded Shelbyville Monday. His Wrong Lead. Some forty years ago at Aldershot the camp was commanded by Sir James Torke Scarlett, a Crimean veteran. On the occasion in question be was directing some sham fighting. In a manner then usual he was leading a line of skirmishers of one force against another many yards In front, as In earlier times he had led the heavy brigade at Balaclava against three time Its number To a soldier of the yoancer school it seenvjd a preposterons proceeding, and Sir Svelyn ventured to critici !tSir Janes rpUed; Yonn; man. have I not ordered yon twice t hold your tengue? If I like to lead my skirmishers, what the is that to your Sir Evelyn replied. -Ten thousand pardons, sir. tmt n la the enemy's line In rerteot yon have been leading for the last sn mlstes."

for, and that council need not take action on the matter. Councilman Von Pein stated the new ordinance presented to take the place

of the present joint pole agreement ordinance which is not agreeable to the city is no improvement over the old one. He said the new measure did not protect the city as much as did the old ordinance. He recommended that the old ordinance be left in force until a better one is substituted. The street department received' criticism from practically every councilman present, for not moving faster in repairing the streets of the city. Mayor Zimmerman promised relief. Makes Complaint. Councilman Burdsall complained of a bad sidewalk on State street, and weeds on Charles street, part of which he said had been recently cut by the property owners. Councilman King wants a macadam roadway on North F street where cement sidewalks and gutters have been made. Councilman Evans presented a petition for an arc light at Third and North A streets. On third reading every councilman present voted against improving South G street from Sixth to Seventh street, with sidewalks, curbs and brick streets. Favors Black Paving. In a speech to council last evening Councilman Weishaupt asked that the board of works allow other improved streets than brick to be used in Richmond. Mayor Zimmerman declared In favoj of brick, but the councilman from the Sixth ward is going to "put cne over on the Mayor." As an experiment he will ask the board of works to grant him permission to put creosoted wooden block in the street in front of his house and as soon as he gets permission from the board, will try out this paving which has never been given a trial here. Favor Revocation. The dissatisfaction with which council regards the efforts of the street car company to remedy existing evils in the car system here was apparent at a discussion of eight councilmen before the regular session last evening. Six of the members favored an immediate revocation of the company's franchise. It was pointed out that the company is going to send new winter cars, is reballasting its lines, expects to run its interurban freight cars down North Twentieth street and take the tracks out of the Glen soon and make other changes. From the temper of councilmen displayed in this discussion it appeared that the franchise of the Terre Haute Indianapolis and Eastern traction company is hanging by a very slender thread. WILL ERADICATE COTTON WOOD TREES War is again to be declared on the soft southern cotton wood trees. The recent order issued by the board of works to property owners to cut down the trees because they send out so many small rootlets that water and sewer pipes are clogged by their ramifications, did not have the desired effect. The board of works will ask the city council to pass an ordinance compelling property owners to cut down the trees, and providing a fine for violations. The recommendation is the result of an investigation of the clogging of sewer pipe in the alley north of G street between North Eleventh and Twelfth streets. The eighteen inch sewer pipes had become clogged from an accumulation of roots. The present ordinance regulating trees gives the city board of works power to cut down undesirable trees. SHELBYVILLE HAS ANOTHER TRAGEDY Lewi's Rinehart Wounds His Wife and Then Takes His Own Life. (National News Association) SHELBYVILLE, Ind., Sept. 4. Lewis Rinehart, aged 42, fatally shot himself through the temple this morning. Before shooting himself Rinehart fired three shots at his wife, two of them passing through her arm. Mr. and Mrs. Rinehart separated about a year ago and today she went to the office of Ray and Campbell for the purpose of instituting divorce proceedings. Rinehart drives a sprinkling wagon for the city and about five minutes before the shooting he jumped off his wagon and went to the law office to intercept his wife. With only a fe.w words he drew his revolver and shot his wife and then himself. She is not badly hurt. Mrs. Rinehart is the daughter of Luther Jenkins, a prominent farmer. Rinehart was the son of ex-councilman John Rinehart. City Statistics Deaths and Funerals. HILL Mary Hill, aged sixty-one years died Tuesday morning at ten o'clock at her home 226 North Fourth street.

The asphalt lake at Trinidad occupies a depression of about 114 acres and is probably the center of an extinct volcano. It is a lake In most senses of the word, for there are well defined shores and islands scattered through it at intervals, and the surface Is In constant motion. There are also movements which may be ascribed to currents and eddies. The center of the lake is .about a foot higher than the edges, this relation being maintained, although the lake as a whole has been lowered by the constant removal of material from it. The depth of the deposit Is not accurately known, but the lake Oils up quickly when the surface is removed. The surface is not level, but is composed of Irregular tumescent masses of various sizes. As the spaces between are always fall of water, these masses are prevented from coalescing. The softer part of the lake constantly evolves gas. which consists largely of carbon dioxide and sulpbureted hydrogen, and the pitch, which is honeycombed with gas cavities, continues to exhibit this action for some time after Its removal front the lake The asphalt from Trinidad to Its fresh state can be picked up and mold ed without sotting the bands. The substaace is pulled apart on the surface with Dicks, and the pieces are eaetea wsy to the ships. In the bay of Cardenas. Cuba, asphalt Is drawn up from the bed of the sea throngb eight or nine feet of w a tac. Harpers Weekly.

VEHICLE TAX NETS CITY ABOUT $5,000 The sale of vehicle licenses thus far has netted the city about $2,500. City Controller McMahan has charge of the sale of the brass and aluminum checks. The city controller estimates that $5,000 will be paid Into the city treasury from this source. The money will be used for the improvement of Main street from Fourth to the river, with

GOOD THINGS

Three Musical Events, Two of Which Bring Indiana Celebrities, Who Have Attained Reputation, to This City in Recital.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. Attention embryonic drama leaguers. Not that this is drama exactly, but It's getting warm. It is the truth, however, that the "musical and dramatic season la starting off well enough In this town. And since there be those who say that they never know a good thing's coming until after it has come and gone, some information is ladled out to those who cast the occasional eye over this column. In the first place we open up with Julie Ring in "The Yankee Girl" at the Gennett. Now whether you care for musical comedy or not. nor what you may or may not think of its relative place in theatric presentations, none can deny that it is regarded as a legitimate means of theatric expression. Nor that Julie Ring ia one of its leading exponents in this country. She is second only among the Rings to her sister. Blanche, and she has still another sister, Frances. The Rings embody the best traditions of this form of musical and theatric art. And "The Yankee Girl,- one of the Cohan productions which, of their sort, are typical of the average theater-go- j er's taste, has been tried out and not found wanting. So that the combination strikes a high plane of the art of its class. This same company appears at the Murat the same week or soon thereafter, so that this city cannot complain of having a "second company" palmed off on it. Two interesting musical events are to occur this month, also. The recital of Carl Morris, on September 22nd, in the Murray Theatre has recently been referred to. Carl Morris is the young Indiana baritone, who is becoming known as one of the leaders among concert and oratorio singers of the country. His single appearance here at the last May Festival created a sensation. Although he was handicapped by a bad cold. His coming to Richmond, inaugurating Sunday afternoon concerts, is exciting much interest. On September twelfth this city will have its first and only opportunity of hearing the celebrated Indiana tenor. Orville Harold, who is making a brief tour In five or six cities of the state. The story of this singer Is well known to the public Of his glorious voice, of his discov ering by Madame Schumann-Heink, of his inability to accept her offer - of assistance in his musical education, of his entrance into vaudeville, of his renewed discovery by Oscar Hammerstein, of the latter's patronage and of Harold's final entrance Into grand opera where he was the sensation of his recent appearance in New York and London. That this city will have a chance to hear Harrold just before his departure for New York is fortunate. A short time thereafter, Sousa's band will be heard at the Gennett. So that the city has. in immediate prospect, four interesting and Important theatric and musical events. There can be no excuse, therefore, for walls about nothing good coming to Richmond, at least during September. People are curious beings. It isn't often that they take advantage of the opportunities for either instruction or enjoyment within their doors. Always longing and hankering and reaching after that without the grasp. Everybody knows, of course, that realization is never as satisfying, or at least as stimulating, as expectation. That suggestion is far more potent than complete exposition. Nonetheless there are things within your purelius which are not as bad as they might seem to be at first blush. And if you interest yourself with that which is available your interest is sure to touch larger confines. If you stand still long enough the whole world floats by your door. "AH things come to him who waits," Is not entirely true, but Is in part. True enough sometimes anyway. Everything, after all, has its compensations.

Greater possessions, greater responsibilities. After all. we have too many possessions. They clutter our environ and impede our progress. Thoreau saw the absurdity of them. And retired to a cabIn In the woods which had but a table, a chair, a bed and maybe a stove. Nothing definite is said about the stove. But as he cooked his meals, simple though they were, presumably the stove. And Thoreau was happy. But Thoreau was a philosopher. ' Also a bachelor. And something besides this outfit Is demanded by the exigencies of modern life. But our houses are filled up with a variety of object neither utilitarian nor decorative. Horrible things people give yon for Christmas. Leftovers from former generations. Wedding presents bestowed In the stone age. Pictures painted by members of the family. Strange junk Maria brought you from a Cook's tour through Palestine. Odds and ends and fragments garnered from heaven knows where. Ugly rugs you trip over. Depending draperies which flaunt tassels and fringes and strings which stifle you In summer and smell of ham and eggs In winter. Round the dining-room meanders a shelf loaded with pots and steins and uncanny debris bought at the ten cent store. Your bedrooms are twined with chintzes. i Because It says in the Ladles Home that chintx makes the bedroom dainty. It does for a day or so. Then It gives It a bedraggled air, drooping and like a woman with her rouge half off. The truth is that bedrooms should contain the least possible furniture. Fewer rugs. And no curtains. Windows in sleeping-rooms should be entirely free for the passage of air. So that the windows can be pulled up or down at will. Windows In bedrooms should never be closed. They should remain open from one twentyfour hours to another. Bare floors should be the invariable rule. We have too many things. We wear too many clothes. We have too many beliefs and prejudices and opinions. We are cumbered up Intellectually and spiritually as well as physically. If we'd be more care free and sell at least half our possessions and not necessarily divide with the poor but invert the proceeds In some interest bearing bonds, we might have a lot of amusement we never dreamed of before. Like sitting all day and looking Idly out the window. . Or lying on our backs watching the play of sunlight on the leaves. Or wooing the stars and getting on confidential terms with the moon. Or buying an automobile and starting off for anywhere which would be I no place in particular. just starting out care free and fancy freer to roam the world and explore the alluring side paths. In the meantime getting back in time to take in all the attractions In our lovely theatres "as enumerated above." MAKE NO MISTAKE. BUT USE For the blood, and kindred alia. Nothing better: try It.
