MAYOR FIXES

'S First Placed it at $2,500 But Upon Consent of Prosecuting Attorney Court Lowereel Amount. MAYOR'S OPINION ON DAMAGE DONE Says Underhill Should Be Fined at Least $6,000 as Result of Dynamiting Big Water Main. The bond for the appearance of Alfred C. Underhill, charged with maliciously and mischievously dynamiting the water main of the Richmond City Water Works Thursday afternoon, was fixed at $500 in police court this morning. The bond was placed at $2,500 when attorneys for the defense asked that the bond be made lower. They declared the amount of $2,500 to be unjust and unconstitutional. Underbill's case will come up for trial or preliminary hearing Wednesday, April 9. An attorney for the defendant intimated prejudice, malice and unfairness on the part of the mayor. He accused the mayor of dealing with Underhill in a manner with no other man in the city would be dealt with. "Because it is Underhill," said he, "and because you have listened to a lot of talk, you are placing his bond at an absurd, unreasonable and unfair amount." What Mayor Says. Mayor Zimmerman replied to the accusations made by the attorney and stated that be believed that $2,500 was a fair amount for the bond of a man who would maliciously and mischievously dynamiting the only water main supplying water to the entire city, thus shutting off all fire protection and throwing out of work hundreds of factory men, causing thousands of dollars of loss to the water works company, several factories and an inestimable loss and inconvenience to the entire population of the city, endangering the city with a total destruction by fire and a general water famine, had not the water works company been able to repair the damage done by Underhilll as soon as it did. "The law," said the mayor, "says that the fine may be placed at twice the amount of the damage done and to this fine an imprisonment of twelve months in the county jail may be added. The damage done by this malarious act of Underbill's is estimated at from $3,000 to $10,000. By this amount I determined the amount of the bond. If the state is satisfied to lower the bond, I will change it." "Your Honor," said Prosecuting Attorney Reller, "with the hope that Underhill will leave Richmond and go to California or some other place far away from here, the state will be satisfied to place the bond at $500.' Mayor Zimmerman immediately placed the bond at that amount. Mayor Zimmerman denied that he bad any prejudice or malice for any Wan whose case came before him. He Itated that in his belief that $6,000 would be a fair fine for the offense committed by Underhill. Harris' Opinion. Underbill's bond of $500 was stayed by his mother, Mrs. Susan Underhill, 30 West Main street. After the date was set for the hearing and the bond was fixed at $500, a relative of Underbill's, Lawson L. Harris, 2223 Main street said to Underhill: "The people of Richmond are a set of d fools. I will sign, your bond for any amount up to $25,000. I am wort'a more than that amount." FREE TO ASTHMA SUFFERERS. A New Home Cure That Anyone Can Use Without Discomfort or Loss of Time.

Story of Indian Maiden's Love Told By An Aged Veteran at Union Station

While waiting for a train in the Pennsylvania station last night, a civil war veteran and an inmate of the Dayton Soldiers Home, related a story of the discarded love of an Indian maiden named Nahma, the termination of the affair being the suicide of the Indian girl and the erection of a large white cross which can still be seen on the side of a large mountain in the extreme eastern part of Tennessee. The old soldier was surrounded by a small group of persons who remained to hear the last word of the story of the romance which happened in 1859 more than fifty years ago. "On the side of a mountain in eastern Tennessee," said the old soldier and pioneer, "is a large white cross. As it is very conspicuous, many persons who pass the spot on the railroad which circles the base of the peak, endeavor to learn the history of the cross. This, however, is known to only a few persons, of whom I am one. "When I was nineteen years old I was employed by Joshua Diggs, who was surveying for the first railroad which passed through eastern Tennessee. Near our construction camp, where we made our headquarters for almost a year,, a small band of Indians was encamped in a valley sheltered by the high hills and mountains all around. During the hours of the evening, we spent our time with the Indians who were' quite a novelty with most of us as we were all natives of Philadelphia. "Diggs, who was a tall, handsome man, attracted the innocent Indian maidens, who were never more pleased than when listening to his stories of the big cities and the fine clothes worn by the society women in the eastern part of the country. "One of these Indian girle named Nahma was very beautiful and Diggs spent much of histime in amusing her. Later he made love to her and a short time before we were ready to make our departure from that vicinity Diggs and Nahma were married according to the elaborate Indian custom which Included almost a week's feasting' and festivity. "Nahma was brought to our construction camp by Diggs who had a rough shack erected for the two. At first he was kind to his Indian bride, Harris made the same remark to Mayor Zimmerman. City officials believe that the bond should have been kept at $2,500 by Mayor Zimmerman. One of them said, "It is a shame that the court should release Underhill on a bond of $500. If he would leave the city, ( should think that this was the right course to pursue but because the people and the city wants to be rid of him, he will probably stay here and continue to be a nuisance."

Severe Cold? Co To Your Doctor You could not please us better than to ask your doctor about Ayers Cherry Pectoral for coughs, colds, croup, bronchitis. Thousands of families always keep it in the house. The approval of their physician and the experience of many years have given them great confidence in this cough medicine. iJOfc:

but on a day a month later when we broke camp to move on fifty miles Nahma was "taken to her home by Diggs who told her that he would return within a few days. Diggs, with others of our party left and I remained behind with three others to complete some unfinished work. "Two days after Digg's departue, Nahma was seen approaching our camp. Those of us who were at the camp did not have the courage to tell her of her husband's unfaithfulness and we left. Whenever we saw her coming after that we hid. One day, however, she came upon us unexpectedly. "So enidciated was she that we could hardly believe that she was the same happy, innocent, beautiful Indian maiden whom we had known while Diggs was with us. Her face was thin and drawn from grief and worry and she had lost weight. She was a mere shadow of the girl who married the surveyor Diggs. She forced us to tell her where her husband had gone and why he deserted her. We told her and consoled her the best we could.', "A week later," he went on, "wesaw Nahma slowly climbing the side of the mountain to a large bluff overlooking a precipice, when we were almost overwhelmed with consternation to see her, after raising her arms as if in prayer, hurl herself over the edge of the bluff to the foot of the precipice 200 feet below. "We hurried to the spot and carried her crushed anl lifeless body to the Indian camp. "Two years later Diggs returned to the place and he was told the story of the tragic death of the young Indian wife whom he had deserted. He swore that he had loved the girl and meant to return to her but was unable to do so. To prove the grief which he displayed, he went to the spot where the girl ended her life and there erected the cross in memory of the Indian maiden. To this day the cross is standing and can be plainly seen from the identical railroad for which Diggs surveyed. Only to the members of the Indian band and four white men was this story known." The old man who is 73 years of age, is an inmate of the Dayton Soldiers' Home. He said he was a non-commissioned officer in the Civil war.

IMPORTANT STEP III ULTIMATE REUNION

Resolution Adopted by Christian Unity Foundation at Session. PLAN TO AMALGAMATE However, Idea is, as yet, in Its Infancy Meeting Unofficial. NEW YORK, April 5. Wha is considered an important step taken In this country toward the ultimate reunion of ail Christians was announced yesterday by the Rev. Arthur Lowndes, Secretary of the Christian Unity Foundation. This was the adoption at a conference held this week between members of the Disciples of Christ and members of the Foundation of a resolution endorsing a proposed form of agreement between the ProtestantEpiscopal church and the Disciples of Christ whereby the two churches may be amalgamated and come under one government. In making this announcement Dr. Lowndes was particular to emphasize the fact that the Conference was informal and unofficial, and that those present were acting as individuals. The Disciples of Christ at the Conference were the Rev. Dr. Peter Ainslie of Baltimore, the Rev. F. W. Burham of Springfield, 111., the Rev. Dr. Finis Idleman of Dos Moines, la., the Rev. Dr. James M. Philputt of New York, and the Rev. Edward B. Bagby, the Rev. Henry C. Armstrong, the Rev. Francis H. Scott and William P. Lipscomb, all of Baltimore, Md. The members of the Foundation present were the Rt. Rev. Wr. Frederick Courtney, Rev. Canon George William Douglas, the Rev. Resse F. Alsop, the Rev. R. T. Homans, Francis C. Huntington. David B. Ogden and Dr. Lowndes. Incorporated Body. The Christian Unity Foundation is an incorporated body which was founded in 1910 by twenty-four men of the Episcopal church. Its purpose is to endeavor to promote the Union of Christendom throughout the world by means of Research and Conferences. Its members regard the complete success of their enterprise as a possibility of the far distant future, but In the less than three years of its existence it has laid a foundation upon which that success may be ultimately reared. At the conference with the Presbyterians on May 5, 1911, the Resolutions passed in Australia in 1906 and 1907 by representatives of the Church of England in Australia and the Presbyterians, as a basis lor Corporate Reunion, were taken up seriatim and passed with Bome amendments. At a conference with the Congregationalists on February 12, 1912, these same resolutions were passed again. Finally the resolutions were passed with some alterations at the conference this week with the Disciples of Christ. The alterations were slight, and tended simply to make the resolutions clearer. The great importance of this last endorsement is due to the fact that the Disciples of Christ stand fifth in numerical strength of all Christians in the United States, being exceeded in number only by the Roman Catholics, the Methodists the Baptists, and the Presbyterians. In 1910 they had 1,142,359 communicants as compared with 886,942 in the Protestan-Episcopal church. It should be clearly understood that the work of the Foundation is entirely unofficial and distinct from that of the Commission on a World's Conference of all Christian bodies to consider the Faith and Order of the Church of Christ appointed by the last General Convention of the Protestant-Episcopal ' Church, although its work is in entire harmony with that of he commission. Such an amalgamation with the Disciples of Christ as that endorsed in the resolution mentioned would have to be approved by the General Convention which is the governing body of the Church. Officers of Foundation. The president of the Foundation is the Rt. Rev. Frederick Courtney. Its treasurer is Francis C. Hurtington, son of the famous rector of Grace church in New York City. Its finance committee is Robert Fulton Cutting, William Fellowes Morgan, Lawson Purdy and William Jay Schieffelln. The study of their belief and status

NATIONAL FOREST TIMBERS FOR SALE Contracts Have Been Closed For Sale of 1, 700,000,000 Feet.

AIM OF GOVERNMENT Is to Make Forest Grow and To Make Them Useful To Public. WASHINGTON. D. C. April 5 The Forest Service has just begun to advertise the twelfth large lot of National Forest timber offered for sale with in the past nine months. Altogether it i has advertised since July 1. 1911. the beginning of the present fiscal year, about 2.500.000,000 feet, and has closed contracts for the sale of 1.700,lH0.0Od feet. The latest advertised stale Is of approximately 52O0i),00O feet of saw timber in the Rainier National Forest, about 35 miles from Tacoma. In offering National Forest timber for sale the Government first makes an estimate of the quantity of timber on an area which would naturally form a single logging unit, and which offers attractive opportunities for the lumberman. The probable cost of logging and manufacturing by a capable lumberman is then estimated. On the basis of these estimates combined with the figures for market values and freight charges the timber is appraised and then advertised for sale, with the appraised value as a minimum price. The minimum prices set for the Rainier timber vary from 50 cents to $1.50 per thousand feet, according to the kind of timber. These are stumpage prices that lsf the purchaser buys the trees on he stump and does all the logging, but pays according to the board foot measure of the logs. The Government aims to allow the manufacturer a liberal profit on the basis that lumbering involves a good deal of business risk, and the minimum stumpage prices are fixed accordingly. Often, however, competL,

tire bids raise the price aboTe the advertised minimum. One of the provisions of the contract which the successful bidder for the Rainier timber will enter into will be that If market prices advance materially the Government's -Chief Forester may. after the sale has run three years, require a reasonable readjustment of the stumpage prices up to u added 50 cents per thousand. The object of this stipulation is to preTent. loss to the Government that is. to the public and an undue profit to the purchaser through long-term contracts entered into on a rising market, Provision against such speculative profits is regarded as espe-ially necessary la view of the long-term wiles now sometimes made in get purchasers for large bodies of inaccessible timber. For the Rainier sale the cntting period allowed Is only five years since the quantity of timber involved approximately 52.0OO,OiK board feetdoes not call for an extended operation. One National Forest sale made this year was for S00.000.000 board feet and the purchasers were allowed a cutting period tf twenty-two years besides a preliminary two years la which to build a railroad. Usually purchasers must begin operating the

year of purchase and rut a stipulated amount each year. The latter provision is simply an ex-s ample of a fundamental prin lple that U applied in all National Forest tlm ber sales. The primary object Is described as being not profit for the! Government but benefit to the public. Nowhere is the policy a stricUy commercial one. The conditions of cutting are carefully prescribed from the standpoint of present as well as future needs. The highest bid for the con. tract may be rejected, and is rejected if it appears that to give the bidder the contract would tend to facilitate timber monopoly and so subject the consumer to a hardship. In other words, the Government foresters consider that they should not only make the forests grow as fast as possible but also make them as useful as possible to the public. OPENING OF STORE.
