ALBERT H. BOND GETS PLACE IN DEPARTMENT

Harry Williams, Former Grocer, Placed on List as "Extra" Man. With one change the personnel of the Richmond fire department will be the same as when the Zimmerman administration retired from office. On the advice of Fire Chief Miller, the board of public works in executive session late yesterday afternoon accepted the resignation of James Hahn, a hoseman of the Number 3 company, stationed at the North A street house. The resignations of all the other members of the department were destroyed and their applications for reappointment accepted. Albert H. Bond was appointed to the place made vacant by the removal of Hahn. Accompanying Bond's apXli"ation was a medical certificate showing that he was physically fit to hold a position as fireman. Under the last Zimmerman administration medical examinations of applicants for positions in the fire department v ere not required, but they will be under the Robbins regime. Bond Has Experience Bond is an experienced fire fighter, having served in the department about ten years. Four years ago he was removed for political reasons. At that time he was a Republican hut it is reported that he neglected to support Dr. Zimmerman's candidacy. Ho applied for reappointment as a Progressive. Harry Williams, formerly engaged in the grocery business in Fairview, who has been acting as extra man, was appointed to that place, and both "Williams and Bond will serve six months probationary terms. If regarded competent to fill their positions at that time they will be removed from the probationary list. As extra man Williams is actively employed all the time either serving for firemen during their vacations or working for firemen on their "days off." No Changes Expected "Unless some one is removed for infraction of the rules, there will be no further changes in the personnel of the department," Chief Miller stated today. "One or two changes among the company captains may be made, and there may be a few transfers, but nothing definite along this line has been decided yet." Fireman Halm's resignation was to V.ecome effective Thursday but when be learned of the action tnkon by the board he quit thf service in a huff last evening. Hahn had been charged with insubordination. Some time ago lie u;is brought before the board of public works on a charge of fighting with one of hi company mates, but was told to "shake hands" with the otln-r man and return to work. The state law which requires partisan appointments to the fire department was construed by the fire chief and board members to mean that appointments to the department shall lie as equally divided politically as is possible. T'nder this construction members of any political pa'i ty would b qualified for positions of firemen if the fire chief and board desired to appoint them. Parsons Pleased Richmond's veteran "smoke eater," ex-chief .lames Parsons, was a caller at the city building today and he was greatly pleased over the policy of the new administration in removing the fir department out of polities as far the laws of the state will permit. "Like Chief Miller, I hope to see the day when no one will be eligible to serve on tne tire department un less he has successfully passed ft i ivii service examination," said Mr. i-arsons-. .-mi applicants snouia DD pivpn physical tests and examined as to their knowledge of fire fighting, fire apparatus and the locations of alarm boxes and the nearest fire h vtl rants." BOOTLEGGER IS FINED Breese Assessed $25.00 and Costs by Mayor. Arthur Hrcese, who was arrested Sunday afternoon when the police raided two alleged blind tigers, plead ed guilty in police c ourt today. Mayor I Robbins assessed a fine of $25 and costs. Numerous complaints regarding bottlegging and selling liquor unlawfully have been reported from the neighborhood in which Breese lives on North Fourteenth street.

Real "Tango" Danced By P. Paul Pearse, Who Knows If

None of the Wobbly, Lock Step, Hugging Antics of Would-be Tangoers, but Sedate, Graceful, Artistic Movements of Greek Dance, So We Are Told.

Exponents and critics of the tango and other recent dances were well pleased with the private demonstration of the dances given by P. Paul Pearse, who leaves soon for New York City, and Miss Gladys Bailey and Mrs. Frank Critchet at the Odd Fellows' Hall today. . The tango as it is danced in New York society and taught by the leading dancing masters of United States and Continental Europe is far different from the

York society would tolerate and harbor such a dance, but they are badly mistaken," remarked Mr. Pearse. There are thirty-two separate movements to the tancro. Thev

are arranged in four sets of eight movements each. The movements range from the true waltz step to a resemblance of Greek classics. There is every chance in the world to display grace in

dancing the tango for its movements embody the skill and grace

of the dancer. The more graceful the dancers, then

To the little crowd witnessing the private demonstration this morning the dance wa? a revelation. Its very atmosphere would tend to divert one's mind from the usual shuffle-step imposture, to the true conception of dancing which is interpreted by the greatest of grand opera dancers.

"It is no wonder the parents of the boys and girls who attempt to dance an objectional creation under the guise of the tango, are objecting and have refused to permit them to dance the steps," remarked one mother, after witnessing the dance by Mr. Pearse and Miss Bailey. "It is an entirely different dance from what I have always seen people dance as the tango." "The only objectional feature I see is that it is more complicated than the usual loosely danced creation, which must be an imitation," was the comment of one man. Some Art, Say They. "The dance is really an art," remarked another. "There is surely some difference in the tango as I have danced it and the manner in which Mr. Pearse and Miss Bailey glide over the floor," ventured a young man who had attended many dances where the supposed tango was danced. Like the old saying, "Those who came to scoff remained to pray," the visitors who had formerly opposed the dance had changed their minds entirely after witnessing the dance. In explaining why he was giving the j demonstration before returning to I New York, Mr. Pearse said that many ! Richmond people had approached him lit inr jci3i, rv uon.111 nun it j indid not give a public demonstration of the dance before leaving, Thursday. Public Exhibition. With this in mind, Mr. Pearse with the aid of Miss Bailey and Mrs. Prank Critchet will give a demonstration to morrow night in the Odd Fellows Building. A small admission will be charged to witness the dancing and

ordinary steps or tne average Richmond tango dancers. In

fact to the eyes of a person who has witnessed the proper interpretatlOll ot the tango there IS no similarity. It is merely an infringement on the name of , tango to call the steps "tango!

At 8:30 o'clock Wednesday evening the program will start. It is being planned to have a social dance and the demonstrations will be given between dances. Mr. Pearse and his aids will give four separate dances. The first will be the tango; the second Tres Mustard, the third Taut A Vous, and the finale Pas De' Seul.' The last dance is called "The Dance of the Goblins." Mr. Pearse will dance it personally. The story of the dance is that the goblins sleep in the woods until midnight and at that time they arouse and dance weird, fantastic movements. Wilson Takes Up Executive Work WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. President Wilson returned to Washington at 7:30 o'clock today from Pass Christian, Miss. He and his party went at once to the White House.

The President appeared in splendid physical condition. He even faced with cheerfulness the prospect of his tonight's diplomatic reception the most formidable of all the social functions of the leuon.

Durham, of Purdue's horticultural department, who discussed "The Home Vegetable Garden." Mr. Durham recommended that farmers make a definite plan, in black and white, before undertaking gardening. This, he says, will result in a great saving of time and labor, and should he a chart of procedure throughout the season. The preparation for planting should consist, Mr. Durham says, of a plowing in the fall, a thorough discing, and harrowing in the spring, just btv fore the seeds are put under ground. Barnyard manure should be applied before and after plowing, or a clover crop sown late in the summer, to be plowed under in the spring. During the growing ' season, the garden should of course be kept free from weeds, and cultivated shortly after ih r'fl To pr"01-"0 a dust mulch for moisture conservatfon.

The city of Kagoshina, capital of the province of Satsuma, was destroyed today by the erpution of the volcano Sa-kura-Jima Thousands of persons are reported killed and injured in the destruction of the city, which had a nominal population of $65,000, but which was crowded with refugees. Flaming lava set fire to the city In many places, and the . soldiers who tried to fight the flames could make no headway. Molten lava, which is still streaming from the crater, has destroyed a number of villages, and flames are sweeping the greater portion of Sakura island. It is the worst volcano disaster that southern Japan has known for more than fifty years. Final telegraphic communications from Kajoshima before the city was overwhelmed by fire, set by the molten lava, stated that 500 men, women and children had been killed. When Kajoshima was destroyed, the ordinary population of the city had been swollen to from 65,000 to 75 000 by the flood of refugees who fled from islands in Kajoshima Hay to take refuge in the city. Earthquake Felt. While the southern part of Kiushin Island, where Kajoshima was located shook under repeated earthquake l shocks today, clouds of cinders and streams of lava were hurled from the volcano. Ashes to the depth of three feet filled the streets, when the wind heightened and particles of red hot stones and flaming embers began l dropping on the house tops. The i bamboo structures offered ready material for the blaze and within an hour the fire was aweepinc the city.

President Huerta today Issued a decree suspending for one year the payment of interest on all government indebtedness, both foreign and domestic, including all bonds. All foreign governments will be notified of this act immediately. This proclamation is the most Important issued by Huerta since he assumed office so far as the financial affairs of the country are concerned. It Is in effect a notice of national bankruptcy i and Is believed to be due to the fact j tht all negotiations for foreign loans have collapsed. Another decree issued today providing that any person falling to accept the state bank notes recently declared legal tender, should be arrested. The two edicts indicate that Huerta is almost at the end of his financial tether and foreigners already believe that the policy adopted in Washington must resuit in th dictator' fall.
