500 PERSONS HEAR VERSATILE READER Joseph O'Meara Entertains Sunday School Workers At Coliseum.

MAGICIAN NOT HERE Despite the inclement weather more than 500 persons attended the entertainment of the Richmond Sun day School federation at the Coliseum last evening and heard a reader of exceptional ability in the person of Joseph O'Meara, of Cincinnati, O. There was a sudden switch in the program as Totten, the Magician was to be the entertainer of the evening, but his entire cabinet of magic was destroyed in a railroad wreck Thursday. He will obtain a new cabinet and make his appearance here at a later date. Mr. O'Meara is a versatile reader and his transitions from the tenderly Fpoken lines of the child to Ihe gruff, Mount coarseness of the most desperate character was made with ease. The story of how the Robin Red breast got bis redbreast was especially charming to the children. The beautiful legend was retold with charm. He closed the program with a Fhort reading from an English play in which the great English actor and playwright David Garrick, was well characterized.

Clem Shimp, who has been in the employ of the street car company longer than any other motorman or conductor w-orking here, stated that he was sure there would be no violence nor any trouble which would necessitate the calling of the police. "We felt that there would be no trouble yesterday but we believed it safer to lay off and wait until today before we took the cars out. We wanted to see what the attitude of the strikers would be. I don't believe any of them will commit any rash acts which might cause their arrest. I hope they get their jobs back."

Mayor-Elect

by Job Applications

The response to Mavor-elect Rob-1 bins' request that applications for ap- j pointments to city offices be submit-1 ted in writing has been remarkably j prompt. I Since Wednesday morning his mail has been almost as large as that received by any of the large factories. It has poured into the post office like a mountain torrent. When the mayor-1 elect was seen carrying home today's, accumulation of applications from the job-hungry he was iaden down like an army pack mule. j "You should have seen the bunch I . received yesterday," he replied with a i laugh when asked if he had entered the postal service. Robbins has on hands at the pres ent time applications galore for every office at his disposal from marketmas-1 ter to superintendent of the municipal light plant, the choicest plum of them all. Considers All Applications. Every application will receive the mayor-elect's earnest consideration and today he again reiterated his j statement that it would be some time before he was prepared to announce : his list of appointments, either in part ; or in whole. CIRCLE TESTIFIES IN OWN DEFENSE Man Accused of Murdering Mrs. Brown Declares He Is Innocent. Although he has listened to much damaging evidence against him, William S. Circle, charged with the murder of Mrs. Iva May Brown, of Win- . i. . .. i, ; late yesterday and until noon today. The trial was adjourned at noon until 10 o'clock Monday. According to Circle's testimony, although he was walking the street from 6:30 o'clock on the night of i the murder, until 10:30 o'clock, he i only spoke to one or two persons, and j did not see any persons he knew. He also stated that he has lived in Winchester for fourteen years. Under the examination of his attorney, Circle gave the testimony which is intended to convince the jury that he could not nave been the person who committed the murder. He stated that when he went to the McNees hotel at 10 o'clock and said he was going to bed, he found the room too hot for comfort. He then left through a side door, leaving the proprietor with the impression that he was in his room Circle says he then walked around

She cq vo hit thov Ti'oro Hic"ncci ncr tho cola says that they were discussing the sale of some property which belonged to them, as they were not living together, and wished to divide the ownership. Circle was asked if he shot or killed Mrs. Brown and shot John Davisson. lie replied each time that he had not He denied that he had been south of i He denied that he had been south of ji-ranklin street or in the vicinity of the murder on that night. The murder occurred on South street between Meridian and West streets. Circle claims he has suffered from the our months in jail, and told the jury that his health is sadly impaired. Much testimony as to trie relations of Circle and Mrs. Brown was ruled out. Johason said nothing regarding ths associations of Mrs. Brown and Circle, and when Theodore Shockney referred to instances in ttie cross-examination, Johnson entered strenuous j objections.

There has been considerable specu lation regarding the lucky candidates for the various offices and any num-1 ber of cabinet slates have been pre- j pared, but the only basis for their authenticity are the immagir.ations of j their authors, for Mr. Robbms has not yet reached a decision on any appointment. j Several members of the Com mercial .. . asiist in th(.

There is a general opinion that the salary attached to this very imj ant office is much too small and there has been talk of petitioning the next! council to amend the code to provide a salary of at least $1,500 for the inspector.
