the building. Smith did not work yesterday, and Wiggans is said to have placed the stage farther from the Jjullding than It was the previous day.

The investigation of the contractors Interested in tfe accident proved that the lookouts could not have broken until after they .hit the ground. The planks (lookouts) were four inches wide, four inches thick and sixteen feet long, and were reinforced with an Iron bar extending the entire length of the planks. Glen McLane Improving. Glen McLane, who also fell, is badly bruised over his whole body, but is gradually improving at his home on North Seventeenth street, near B street. His escape from serious injury or death was miraculous. A ligament in his neck, back of the ear, was sprained and he is stiff in the joints of his elbows and knees. In speaking of the accident, McLane Bays: "About all I remember while going through the air was that I bit a pipe stem in half. After I had struck the pavement I felt it in my mouth and thought at first it was one of my teeth. "It was exciting and the suddenness of the fall prevented me from realizing the length of the drop. I did feel wyseif and the boards under me swerve from the course once or twice as we struck the wires and sign board. I seemed to partly turn over but do not know to what extent. I struck on my left side. "I had been sitting with the legs over the scaffold facing the building, and Wiggans' had just returned from the ground, where he had gone to thin some white paint. He was standing on one side of the scaffold and I was on the other. We were about eighteen feet apart. He Held on Tightly. "I felt a give in the scaffold but in the moment's thought supposed it was Wiggans' added weight on the board. The next instant we were plunging through space. I retained my hold with both hands on the edge of the scaffold, I suppose until we had nearly reached the ground. I cannot explain how I was fortunate enough to escape more serious injury. "Men came running to my side, but I know I wasn't hurt badly and kept telling them to help Wiggans. A crowd gathered around us and as soon as possible I went inside the building. It seemed a half hour, but they tell me It was only ten minutes, before Wiggans was placed in the ambulance and taken away."

LOCAL MINISTERS ARE MUCHPLEASED Church Attendance This Summer Shows a Great Improvement.

According to the testimony of local '

ministers, Richmond people are getting "better," at least they show more of an inclination to attend Sunday school and church during the hot summer months than they did last year and the local pastors are agreeably surprised by the good conduct of their various flocks.

i Rev. T. J. Graham, pastor of the j First Presbyterian church, states "The ' attendance at our Sunday school and j church is better than itwas last year I at this time, and we have not found

our attendance to be slumping unusually. I believe this is because the older members can attend church more easily in summer than in winter." Attendance Doubted. Rev. Traum, of the First Christian church, said, "I have not observed any falling off in attendance at our church and the increase over last year is very gratifying." He then quoted the atten-

dance for last Sunday compared with :a year ago, which showed that the ati tendance had almost doubled. Rev. W. O. Stovall, the First Baptist i minister, announces that the atten

dance has been so satisfactory that he has not found it necessary to discontinue the evening services. Rev. Howard of the First English Lutheran says that the attendance is greatly improved over last year. There will be no services at the First English Lutheran church next Sunday, as Rev! Howard is to leave for Illinois for a two weeks vacation.

A WOMAN SOCIALIST PREPARES CAMPAIGN

(National News Association) WASHINGTON, July 23 Mrs. Nina Lane McBride, daughter of Senator Lane, of Oregon, is in Washington visiting her father. She is preparing a widespread Socialist campaign. She

. will commence a tour of the East-

(ern states next month, speaking from J street corners and in workingmen's j halls on the Socialist propaganda, j Mrs. McBride met her husband, who j also is a Socialist worker, at a rally !of the party in Portland, Ore. She ! met him the second time at a hoboes'

convention in New Orleans, presided over by James Eades Howe, the 'millionaire hobo." They were married by a magistrate.

WILL TAKE CENSUS ; FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL

As yet no definite plans and no appointment of committees has been made in connection with the Sunday school census, which the Sunday School association and the Ministerial association are planning to make. This work, on account of the absence of so many people at this time of year, will not be begun until some time in September. The last census of the kind taken was ten years ago, and since that time there has been nothing done of a similar nature. The work will require the co-operation of every interested person in Richmond. Each home will be visited and the number of people living in that home, their ages and their church connections will be recorded. .By this means all- pastors will be informed of prospective members and it is hoped that this will greatly increase the membership in both Sunday school and church.

STREET STORIES

"Pat," the sandwich dispenser at a local saloon, a colored man despite his cognomen, expresses very philosophic ideas regarding his participation as an American citizen in helping quell troublesome Mexico if this country is forced to intervene. "No, sah!" said "Pat," in response to a query as to whether or not he

j would enlist in the United States army i if volunteers were called out to serve

in a Mexican campaign. "I'd ruther have 'em say, 'There he goes,' than remark, 'Here he lies'!"

who is a stenographer in the superintendent's office at Madera. A Mormon Is Blamed. Many of the Americans named have their wives and children with them. "A Mormon, Jesse Williams, is to blame for the situation at Madera, where the American colony is threatened with death by a Mexican bandit band," declared American Consul T. D. Edwards, in Juraez today. He had just received a report which said that Williams had led a band of cowboys against a small band of bandits who were killing cattle on the Babicora ranch and that after he and his friends later quit the ranch and took refuge in Madera, the bandits threatened the extermination of the entire colony. "If the other Americans are harmed Williams should be strung up to a

telegraph pole," said the consul today.

TWO HOLD-UP MEN SHOOU JEMNER Attempted to Rescue Young Couple From Robbers in Park.

(National News Association) CHICAGO, July 23 Jehial Jenner died today from bullet wounds received when he attempted to rescue a young couple from two hold-up men. James Cleary and Miss Virginia Markham were sitting on a park bench last midnight when two youths pointed revolvers at them and demanded their valuables. Miss Markham screamed. Cleary swung on the jaw of one of the men. Jenner heard the scream and came running up. One of the robbers held a revolver against his side and pulled the trigger until the weapon was empty. Jenner lived a few hours. Cleary was slightly hurt in a scuffle with one of the hold-up men. Miss Markham fainted and was still suffering from shock today.

THE WHITE PLAGUE

The public health committee of the Commercial club, of which W. H. Quigg is chairman, will meet at 4

appropriation with which to build a

county tuberculosis hospital.

Representatives of the South Side Improvement association, the Wayne County Medical society, and the Women's clubs have been asked to meet with the committee. The kind of hospital that would best meet the needs of Wayne county will be determined and its cost estimated. If the persons present think the idea a good one, steps will be taken toward having a model tuberculosis tent on exhibit at the Chautauqua and

at the Fall Festival.
