By Desperate Effort of Physician Mrs. Baker Is Revived. I'M TIRED OF LIFE" 1 Despondent Over Fact That Husband Asks For A Divorce. Worry over a divorce suit which her husband has filed against her, caused Mrs. Carroll Baker, aged 26, ;to attempt to end her life this morning at 2 o'clock. Fully dressed, the woman drank carbolic acid after she she had sat in her room at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. O. T. Mullln, 1103 Main street, for two hours, brooding over her troubles. A physician succeeded in reviving her, and aside from bad burns in her mouth, her condition today is much improved. ' "I am tired of life," is the only explanation which she would give to her mother this morning. Trouble with her husband has caused her to worry very much recently, and she has been brooding over the trouble for several weeks since she was notified that Alvin Baker, her husband, had entered a second divorce suit. Second Divorce Suit. Mrs. Baker was married three years ago. Her husband deserted her following a fall in. which she broke her hip, leaving her a cripple. In 1912 he entered suit for a divorce, but later withdrew the complaint. Two weeks ago another divorce complaint was filed at the office of the county clerk. Mrs. Baker called on some friends last night, returning to the home of her parents at midnight. She sat in her room for almost two hours when she went to another room and secured the small bottle of carbolic acid. " i Mother Was Awakened. She returned to her room and the slight noise she made in moving about woke her mother. On hearing her daughter fall to the floor, Mrs. Mullin went to the room and found the young woman unconscious. " A physician was summoned immediately and revived Mrs. Baker. After she could speak, she was asked the' reasons for her act. She said she was tired of life.

ANNA M, STARR DIES AT WAYNESVILLE. 0, Widow of Late Colonel Starr Was Well Known in This City. A PROMINENT FRIEND Funeral Will Be Held Wednesday Afternoon Burial At Earlham. Mrs. Anna M. Starr, wife of the late Colonel William C. Starr, passed away yesterday afternoon at the Friends boarding house at Waynesville, Ohio. Mrs. Starr recently observed her eighty-fifth birthday. She lived in Richmond on North Twelfth street until she took up her residence at the Friends home five years ago. She was always prominently identified with Friends church work and in philanthropical endeavor. The funeral services will be held Wednesday at the North A Street Friends' Meeting house at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Burial will be in Earlham cemetery. Born in New York State. Anna M. Starr, who was born in Linden, Genesee county, New York, June, 21, 1828, was the daughter of Horace Darias Chipman and Eliza Gregory Chipman. She was married to William C. Starr at Cincinnati, O., in 1845. Colonel Starr at that time was with the wholesale grocery house of William Glenn & Sons. Their children were Charles W., Horace C, Francis Cist and William "C." 'Starr. Horace C. Starr is the only surviving member of the family. At the outbreak of the civil war Colonel Starr and his family were living in Mason City, W. Va. Colonel Starr enlisted in the Union army, and his family came to Richmond, arriving here in 1862. After the war Colonel Starr joined his family in Richmond and made this city his permanent residence. He was a manufacturer, being at the head of the Starr Chain and Hame Works. Colonel Starr died about fifteen years ago. Miss Robinson's Tribute. Mrs. Starr was for years a familiar and prominent figure in Richmond. Miss Frances Robinson, a prominent I member of the North A Street I Friends meeting house, who was a i lifelong friend of the deceased, today ipaid the following tribute to the memlory of Mrs. Starr: "Mrs. Starr was a member of North A Street meeting of the Religious Sojciety of Friends, and until failing j health prevented, took an active part !in everything that concerned the welfare of the meeting and the philan thropic work which it carries on. "She was for many years a minister whose gift and faithfulness were much appreciated not only by members of jher home meeting, but by those who (attended the quarterly and annual 'gatherings of Indiana and other yearjly meetings. She and her husband jwere particularly interested in and j faithfully attended the general conjference of Friends, composed of delei gates from the seven yearly meetings. ! "Her interest in philanthropies was inot confined to work done by Friends, but she was active in promoting the welfare of many good works in the community, and never turned a deaf ear to any appeal for help which she could render. "She was a faithful worker in the Sabbath school, and many of our citizens learned to love her as members I of her primary class in North A Street Friends Firstday school. "She was unusually bright, vivacious, sociable, fond of her friends and .; made her home a center of much sojcial life for the young and old. j "The hospitality of the home of Wililiam C. and Anna M. Starr on North I Twelfth street, was for many years ' far-famed, and many are the personal ifriends, members of the Society of I Friends and strangers who have enjoyed their large-hearted hospitality." REQUEST REFUSED BECAUSE OF YOUTH George J. Brown, 14, was barred from a business he wished to establish, on account of his age. The boy applied to Ed Hollarn, superintendent of parks, to be given permission to take small pictures of persons in Glen Miller park. Hollarn sent him to the board of works. When it was found that Brown sold the pictures on the grounds, the board decided that he should purchase concessions to go into the photograph business. He was called before the board, and because he is not of age, the board took the privilege rfom him, as his signature would not be valid on a contract.

TRAFFIC PROBLEMS BOTHERED COUNCIL; HAD LONG DEBATES

Action Postponed on Two Measures At the Meeting Held Last Night. KILL FLY ORDINANCE The Councilmen Believe the Latter Measure Would Not Be Enforced. Two ordinances which council believed would effectively prevent congestion at Eighth and Main streets, were referred to the ordinance committee for revision after they had passed second reading last night. One of these ordinances would prevent drivers of automobiles and other vehicles from stopping within 175 feet of Eighth and Main for any length of time. Another measure would make it unlawful for more than one street car to be within 175 feet of the same corner at the same time. Merchants in the prescribed zone say that the traffic ordinance would Injure their business. Superintendent Gordon, of the street car company, is opposed to the street car ordinance, because, he stated, it would prevent the cars from running on any schedule. Had Heated Argument A heated argument followed Councilman Weishaupt's motion to investigate traffic conditions. Councilmen Williams and Weasel asked that the ordinance be withdrawn. Matt Von Pein chairman of the ordinance committee, asked if it preferred to withdraw the ordinances or bury them by referring them to the ordinance committee. "Our citizens," said Von Pein, "look with pride at the hustle and bustle displayed at Eighth and Main streets and when they bring visitors they call attention to the factthat Richmond is no longer a toy, village. Citizens like to watch automobiles, wagons, street cars and pedestrians hurrying to and fro across the corner. If we kill off everything that makes us look citified, our citizens will not want to bring vis itors here, and no ci v.u!- : ":ff to a dead looking town anyway." His argument altered the opinions of the councilmen, who were immediately in favor of allowing traffic puzzles to be worked out by traffic policemen. Let Policemen Handle It. The solution of the problem, councilmen believe, is in George H. Knollenberg's suggestion that an ordinance be passed giving the traffic policemen certain powers. He cited the large surrounding cities as examples of the perfection with which traffic is handled. "Give the traffic policemen a whistle," he said, "and pass ordinances compelling all traffic to stop when they blow their signals. With one motion, the patrolman can summon all east, or west, or south or north bound traffic to cross the corner. Street cars and interurbans can be regulated in a like manner." For one hour and thirty minutes. Attorneys Henry U. Johnson and Wilfred Jessjup debated about an alley in West Richmond, the improvement of which, William Boyd, through his attorney, Mr. Johnson, strenuously opposed. Although Boyd was not present at the meeting, Johnson threatened to appeal the case to the circuit court if council passed the resolution for the improvement. The resolution was unanimous ly adopted. The alley in question is located between Third and Fourth streets from Southwest A to Southwest D street. Fly Ordinance Killed. Because councilmen did not believ the "fly ordinance would be enforced, it was voted down, seven voting for its rejection and four for its passage. Coitncilnten believe that the ordinance could be enforced only if a special "fly" policeman was employed to inspect alleys and unsanitary places. An ordinance creating a park fund was introduced on first reading. By this ordinance, all fees collected at parks from concessions and other sources would be kept in a separate fund instead of being placed in the gen eral fund. Several councilmen attempted to 'railroad" the ordinance repealing the vehicle or tag license ordinance. Others objected and after the second reading the bill was allowed to take its regular course. CAR COMPANY WILL ENTER A PROTEST Alexander Gordon, superintendent of the local street car lines of the T. H. I. & E. Traction company will enter a protest against the traffic ordinances which will be introduced to council on third reading hsa Gordon claims that the ordinance will completely throw out the schedule which is being maintained at present and that there will be no schedule for the cars if the ordinance is passed. Business men are also protesting against the ordinance which prohibits vehicles from stopping within 175 feet of Eight and Main streets. They say that this will lose them a large amount of business.

yOUlKlfHO ESCAPED FROM JAMN OHIO However, Father Says Son Will Return to Richmond For Trial. Lawrence Garwood, 12, who escaped from the Home for Friendless where he has been retained pending his trial is with relatives in Ohio. - Garwood and Roy Stratton have committed several petty thefts, it is said, and also robbed the home of Harmon Wolke on the National road, west of the city. It is expected that disposition will soon be made of the cases against the two young, men in juvenile .court. . George Garwood, father of the boy . said he would have his son. returned here whenever the trial was held. He told the officials the' boy was wfth relatives in Ohio. Unless he returns willingly it will be necessary to obtain requisition papers, according to Chief Gormon. It is not the intention of the authorities to let the boys go free. Judge Fox said . it was doubtful if they would be accepted at a reform school. PLACES A BAN ON USE OF REVOLVERS The ban has been placed on the use of revolvers in celebrating the Fourth of July by Chief of Police Gormon, who issued an order to all patrolmen this morning to arrest any person either shooting or carrying a revolver. This order was issued because last year a small baby was shot and seriously wounded by a bullet from a revolver. Three small ooys were arrested on July 4 last year for having revolvers in their possession. An examination revealed that in two of the revolvers there were bullets, although the boys thought that the revolvers contained only blank cartridges. Minors especially will be watched, and if any are found with revolvers, those furnishing them with the firearms will be prosecuted. It is a violation of the state law to use revolvers in celebrating the Fourth, and minors are not allowed to have them at any time.

BOSCOE, THE BEAR, AND WALTER KIN LEY HA VE WRESTLING MA TCH

Fugitive Glen Pet Had Glorious Time on National Road Over the Protests of Adversary. Walter Kinley, an employe of the Starr piano company has practically recovered from an experience which befell him late Sunday night on the National road. East, opposite the Hill greenhouses. Kinley had missed his car and started to walk. As he approached the greenhouses a large, furry object turkey trotted out of the shadows cast by some large mains and fell upon the young man's neck in loving, enthusiastic embrace. It was the oldest bear cub of the Glen zoo, and he was a very lonesome chap. He had wandered far from home and had not had a good romp for some time. ( Bo sco e Also a Spooner. As Boscoe hugged Kinley tightly to him he would occasionally give vent to his emotions by pushing a damp and very large tongue across Kinley's chalk-colored face. Boscoe's affectionate attentions were so embarrassing to Kinley that he used threats, pleadings, force and flattery in a fruitless effort to convince his playmate that It was much greater

BOY- HIT WITH WHIR OVER BY A TAXI; Garton Ellis Steps in Front of Machine Leg Is Broken. Having been hit by a "blacksnake" whip by a driver, Garton Ellis, 12, son of Bert Ellis, Tenth and North J streets, stepped - from the rear of an Ice wagon yesterday afternoon directly in the path of a taxicab. Young Ellis was knocked down and run over, and his ' leg was - broken. He was taken to Reid Memorial hospital. Ellis was riding on the rear of the ice wagon and was struck by the driver with a large whip. As he jumped he was forced to run for some distance. . As he stepped, to the side of the wagon a Benning taxicab coming from the opposite direction ' struck him. The boy was knocked down and the taxicab ran over him, rendering him unconscious. He was picked up and taken to the hospital in the taxicab. In addition to a broken leg, he was badly bruised. sport to indulge in a footrace than a wrestling match. But Boscoe was adamant. Probably he realized in his bearish way that he would be no match for Kinley in a sprinting contest, while on the other hand, he knew a trick or two about wrestling, taught to him by his keeper, Ed Hollarn, so he insisted on a continuation of that pastime. When the desperate and disgusted Kinley attempted a full Nelson, Boscoe cleverly countered with a toe hold, and the dust of the old Na tional road was agitated for some time. Finally passersby came to Kinley's assistance, and with the effectiveness of their combined arguments Boscoe was induced to call the match off. He was awarded the decision without dispute, then hustled back to his keeper. How the Bear Escaped. Boscoe's short period of liberty was explained by a park attacne this morning. It seems that the big fellow has contracted bunions from promenading the cement floor of his den, so to give him a little relief he was chained to a peg near the superintendent's house. Becoming resUesa Sunday night, Boscoe broke the chain and nearly gave Kinley nervous prostration a few minutes later. To Boscoe's credit let it be said that he is a gentleman and a true sport. During the exciting mill on the National road he never once resorted to the unfair tactics of using his claws.

The semi centennial of the battle of Gettysburg was on. The vanquished men of the South greeted the wasted regimenta of the North. Every man had his Incidents of the battle to relate to an interested audience of comrades, each waiting anxiously to tell his ver-jn of the same or another incident.

Every train centered into Gettysburg today brought in streams of aged warriors. There were already on the camping ground many thousands of the "boys." They had undergone hours of rough travel, most of them, had spent the spendings of a meagre pension, each of them had risked his health of the few years left him to live to attend the happiest jubilee of his existence. Before the sun was up special trains were waiting on miles of sidings to unload cargoes of grizzled battlers. Boy scouts, regular army men, and the i liveliest of the veterans were organic- ' cd into details to guide the mged men to their tents and care for them In the worst crush that Gettysburg has known since the battle that gave its name to history. Those who have been here for several days were comfortably quartered in tents but the latest arrivals caught a few hours sleep on the grass using suit cases and grips for pillows.
