MAN

"I believe that the future trade route of the world Is through the Pacific,"

said S. D. Fess, M. C, in an address on the significance of the Panama canal, at the Chautauqua yesterday afternoon. "Japan has done things in fifty years past which have made the world take notice. What Japan can do, China can do better. China will be our competitor in the future when her vast resources are opened up she will supply the world, along -fcith the products of India. There is the trade of the worid, and the shortest and best route to Kurope is throught the Panama canal. I believe in a program which will make the nation save, but I also believe in enough of a navy to patrol our possessions. So I will vote for two modern warships, but I will cast my vote as a peace man. These two vessels will cost $30,000,000. If this money was spent tor twenty merchant vessels to take up this trade through the Pacific ocean and the oanai, we would start a great merchant marine that would be the best in the world, for over this route will pass the trade of the world." He Visited Canal Zone. Mr. Fess was in the canal zone this spring as a delegate from congress to inspect the work. "The first thing that I asked to see was the fortifications, and I saw the guns mounted on ah island in front of the entrance, where they could readily protect the canal. We have a right to fortify, we have fortified, and there is no possibility for an foreign vessel to enter against our will," he said. A very interesting discussion of the construction of the canal was given by Mr. Fess. "No one can have any conception of the stupendous effort which has been put forth there except by a personal visit, no matter how much you may have read on the subject. I met many persons from foreign countries who were there as representatives of their different governments, studying the methods used by our government. They said to me, 'The world is paying tribute to the states for what they are doing.'" OLD FAVORITES AT LOCAL CHAUTAUQUA Kellogg-Haines Singing Party Enthusiastically Received Last Night. Before a crowd of people which practically filled the big ten at the Chautauqua, the Kellogg-Haines Singing party made their second appearance in Richmond this season last night, when they rendered musical selections from "Dolly Varden" and staged one act of the comic opera "Lovely Galatea." be latter scored universal success with the audience, and the former was appreciated to its deserving extent. The singer and actors were enthusiastically applauded, and encores were demanded to various selections. The one act taken from the comic opera wes especially well received by the audience. The lines were light! with witty repartee, and humorous sayings form a large part of the conversation. It appealed to young and old. The cast for this act was as follows: Pygmaleon John Eichenberg Ganymede Miss Montague Galatea Miss Fahlen Mydas Mr. Goldberg The Kellogg-Haines Singing party has appeared at Chautauquas in this city three consecutive seasons. The members have many personal friends here, and these turned out in large numbers. DAVIS RESIGNS WASHINGTON, Aug. 30 Representative Davis of West Virginia, who was named solicitor general of the U. S., tendered his resignation to the house today. FRENCH FAMILY DINNERS. People Who Eat Sensibly and Make the Moat of Their Food. A typical French dinner not an exceptional one, mark you. but such a dinner as a small tradesman's family would have is incomparably superior to the plain roast dinner. There would be. first of all. a few relishes, according to the season of the year. Radishes, ice cold; sardines. oliTea, caviare. Just a little of each with which to awaken the appetite, then the soup to excite gently the liquids of the throat and stomach, then a little entree usually a bit of fish with its appropriate vegetable, or a handful of vegetables flavored with meat sauce. Then, and not till then, does the chief course appear. It may be a roast, or game, or chicken, or chops, but in no case will it be anything which Is not in harmony with the previous courses and it will be eaten in moderation, for the edge of the diner's appetite will have been dulled by the lighter foods which have preceded it With it comes the salad varied throughout the year by all the possible changes of the season, and never, never by any possibility will it be such a dreadful hybrid as the romaine. strawberry and green pepper thing. After the salad there will be fruit or mellow cheese, and then coffee. It will take two hours to eat such a dinner, but it will take only half whai the typical American dinner costs to pay for It and there will be no indigestion afterward no matter of what the dinner Is composed.

Realty Deals of Week

Real estate deals did not show up I so stronz this week as cnmrarwl to i past weeks of summer months. Many I small building lots were sold and transferred and a few houses and lots. The sale of farms was at a minimum for the week. According to opinions expressed by well known real estate men, the work of the Wayne county agricultural extension department will materially i and numerically increase the sale of ' large and small farm lands. Former-! ly what was considered poor farm I land, can now- be made to produce j crops with careful fertilization in the same year in which a crop of soy beans and alfalfa can be reaped. Naturally this resultant condition increases the sale of hitherto unproducing land by a wide margin. The largest sale this week was that of a farm of 4lVz acres by Harriet Gant to Allen Taylor, one of the finest crop producing properties in the north west section of Wayne county, for a consideration of $4,150.00. Important Local Deal. The most important Tiouse and lot sale was in the Mendenhall and Price addition, formerly owned by Euphemia Meyer. The premises were sold to Henry A. Kromer of this city for $3,400.00. John C. Nicholson sold his seven

Thaw Experiences His First Setback Today

Writ of Habeas Corpus Grant ed By Canadian Judge Ordering Him Into Court Tuesday Jerome Jubiantly Says, "Harry Now Is On His W ay to Matteawan."

(National News Association) SHERBROOKK, Que., Aug. 30. Judge Hutchinson of the superior court on application of John Boudreau, chief of police of Coaticook, issued a writ for the production of Harry K. Thaw in court next Tuesday to show cause why he should not be immediately discharged from custody THAW IS DEFEATED. SHER BROOKE, Aug. 30. A fight by which counsel for the Canadian government and the State of New York hope to present further delay in the deportation of Harry ThaT was begun in court here this morning. The writ of habeas corpus secured by exDistrict Attorney Jerome, ordering that Thaw be produced in court before Judge Hutchinson at 10 o'clock this morning was the contention about which the battle raged. Thaw did not go to court at 1Q o'clock and his lawyers immediately began fighting to block the attorneys representing the prosecution. Sent In a Hurry Call. Attorneys C D. White and H. B. Frazer, of the Thaw legal army, were in court.' They saw that things were serious and telegraphed to Montreal for J. X. Greenshield, another of the Thaw councilors, to come at once. Greenshield had a special train and set out at once to break all speed records between Montreal and Sherbooke, a distance of 100 miles. GRAND JURY TODAY FINISHES UP WORK The grand jury today continued its investigations of the county penal and charitable institutions today after having investigated conditions at the jail yesterday afternoon. The report will be submitted to Judge Fox Monday, it is expected, as that official was not at the court house this afternoon. The Home for the Friendless and the County Poor Farm were investigated today. T- . . 1 . . . l poa iue recommenaauon oi me January term of the grand jury, conditions, so far as the sanitation and safety of the woman's jail at the home were concerned, were improved. The institution was never in better condition than now. The same jury's report on the county jail resulted in improvements being made at the county jail and the infirmary. No indictments were returned today as Judge Fox ordered the report to be made to include everything the offi cials hav done since their sioplast ses -

Hahn sold and conveyed : three lots in Hagerstown to W. R. I Bowman for $1,600. Elmer J. Smith sold his lot in the Haynes addition to Ida B. Smith for $1,000. Harry G Strickland sold his lot in Centerville to Albert B. Dunbar for $800. Zeri II. Brown sold a lot in Willianisburg to Bessie O Meadows for $800. Other transfers were: George E. Kemper to August F. Kemper lot in Reeveston place addition, consideration $1.00. Herman E. Johnke to Marie S. nauseman, a lot, consideration .uu. w i a , , A a ' raincK jmuus to war mius, a toi in Price's second addition, consideration $1.00. Aside from these sales and transfers no other transfers have been executed. Many deals are pending which will decidedly increase farm holdings, in the next few weeks. Desirable locations for residence purposes are constantly sought, inquiries multiplying daily. Funk and Miller report the consummation of an important deal the first of next week. The average rate of interest still hovers around 5 and 6 per cent on average loans. In the mean time af-r arguments had been presented the court by Jerome and Jacobs, Judge Hutchison issued a writ at 11 o'clock, ordering Thaw produced in court at 10 o'clock nt Tuesday morning The government lawyers exhausted every agency to rush the case through today and get Thaw into the hands of the immigration authorities before night. Counsel for Thaw fought bitterly, contesting each step. The writ issued by Judge Hutchinson was applied for by Chief of Police Boudreau at Coaticook, Quebec, who arrested Thaw on Canadian soil. This was the -third habeas corpus proceedings to come into the case. This was the first setback that Thaw has suffered since he began his fight for liberty and his counsel say that the writ will not hold because of the manner in which it was secured. On the other hand Jacobs and Jerome were jubilant. "Harry is just as good as on the way back to Matteawan now," said the former New York district attorney. Boudreau's application for a writ of habeas corpus, took Thaw's lawyers completely by surprise. It put the constable in the position of a man trying to get the liberty of a man he had put in jail. Thaw's lawyers are contemplating asking that their client be released on bail Tuesday, the day when the Bordreau writ is returnable. M'DERMOTT BEFORE LOBBY COMMITTEE (Palladium Special) WASHINGTON, Aug. 30 Representative J. T. McDermott of Illinois was questioned by the house lobby inquiry committee as to his relations with Washington pawn brokers who, according to previous testimony, loaned him money and were quite friendly with him about the . time the loan ; 6hark biU was before the house. This i KJ,. .... ,. , ! bill threatened to drive all pakn brokI ers here out of business. On today's cross examination depends whether the committee will recommend McDermott's expulsion from the house. QUEENSTOWN FIRE BULLETIN. QUEENSTOWN, Ire..

Rickenbacher in his Mason car narrowly esj caped death when his machine went j off the track, overturned and threw I the driver and Edward O'Donnell, his : mechanition, over the wrecked ma- ! chine. Both miraculously escaped seri- ; ous injury but the car was so badly wrecked that it was withdrawn from the race course. Bob Burman and his Keeton car were out of the race on the Nineteenth lap. His engine collapsed and he was forced to push the car off the course. When 136 miles had been covered,

the real race had been between Spen- j contended by the special committee cer Wishartand Ralph Mulford for, that the items in this report over-esti-scond place. Gil Anderson was hold-j mate the true assets of the company, ing first place with more than five j so that any supposedly equitable fixed

minutes' lead. At the end of the sixteenth lap he was forced to make his first stop to take on oil and gasoline. Wishart drew up to the Mercer pit at the same time, and Ralph Mulford, who had been running two seconds behind him, rushed into second place. DePalma Playing Game. It was apparent that the race of the two Mercer cars was being ordered I from the pit. Ralph DePalma who is the present holder of the cup, being i raced for today was, not attempting i to get all the speed out of his car that was in it. He was laying back j more than a lap behind contented to keep running at a comparatively moderate pace during the early part of the race. Wishart, his team mate, was setting the pace for the other drivers and compelling Anderson to j keep up a pace that taxed his Stutz to the utmost. It was plainly the object of Wishart to have the other drivers exhaust the power of their machines so that DePalma could make a sensational finish. Ancient Coffin. The coffins of the ancient Egyptians were made of marble and stone. Th Romans used similar receptacles foi their dead, and Alexander the Great is said to have been buried in a coffin of solid gold. In parts of England glass coffins have been found.

Announcement has been made of an alfalfa lecture tour through Wayne county, the midd'.e cf September, by the County Agricultural Extension IVpartment. County Agent Cobb has planned to visit every alfalfa grower in the county on this cour. The lecturers will leave RU'hmond in automobiles going from one farm to iiother, investigating its cultivation. The experience of every alf'ilfa producer will be given and a discussion of conditions entered into. Kvery antie of the cultivation of a int. ire banner crop, will be thoroughly gone over and every effort will be

IL CLUB TO ADVISE EXPERT To Draw Up An Inventory of the Valuation of Water Works Plant. Appointment of an expert to draw an inventory of the assets of the Richmond City Water Works will be urged upon the city attorney and the board of public works by the Richmond Commercial club following the report of the waterworks committee at the monthly meeting of the board of directors to be held Monday evening. The report of the valuation of this company as fixed by the expert will j be submitted to the public utilities commission for its consideration, together with the report that will be submitted by the company itself for the use of the commission In fixing the rates that may be charged the citizens of Richmond for water. While the nature of the report that the company will submit to the commission cannot be foretold, it is thought by many that it will follow closely on the lines marked out by D. B. Maury in checking the accounts of the company four years ago. It is rate would enable the company to earn more than it should on the actual money invested in the business. Exception is taken by the committee to the former report as it includes the service pipes of the city which j connect the mains with buildings, in i the list of the property holdings of the company. These pipes, the committee asserts, are the property of the users of the water because they paid for them. These pipes alone are valued at nearly $64,000, less a depreciation of approximately $8,000. Exception is also taken to the item of the Maury report, which gives a "going concern" valuation of over $110,000 to the company. This covers the cost of duplicating the business ! the company was enjoying at the time of the report. Gennett's Comment. Commenting on the report to be filed by the special committee with j the board of directors Monday even- i ing. Henry Gennett stated yesterday j that the contemplated action of the j committee in urging the appointment ; of some one to go over the holdings , of the company should not be con- j strued as condemnatory of the man-j agement of the waterworks, for it was simply desired in order that the Com- j mercial club might possess itself cf complete information for submission later to the public utilities commit: sion should it be deemed necessary" or desirable to do so. ; The idea of having a special apI praisement 67 the property of the board of public works to the Commer-. cial club for an expression of its opinion in regard to the desirability of such action. It is estimated that such a report will cost the city $2,000. The Maury report cost $l,S0O. Dean George Hodges, of Harvard Theological schol, says the world never was socially better than It is now.

Is in The Richmond high jchool has more ' W'OTk along vocational lines than is required by the state law, and more than is found in many other schools, said Superintendent Giles this afternoon. Extended vocational training will not be undertaken in the graded schools for a ear or two. Superintendent Giles and a member' of the school board favor the installation of a printing office as a part of the vocational training in the high j school. The bard is now looking for' a good printer to take charge of thel plant and give instructions. Richmond is one of the few high schools that does not publish a paper of Eome kind, either daily or wekly. With the installation of a plant the students would print a paper, doing all the work themselves, from the preparat ion of the cop, to the typesetting and press work. Palladium Want Ads Pay
