BOARD GOES OVER VALUATION REPORT Officials Unable to Understand Several "Reproduction Values."

While Engineer Watts is making an examination of tbe state public utility commission's report on the physical valuation of the Richmond City Water Works company, members of the board of works will engage in the same work and list all items of valuation to which exceptions will be taken. One of these items, figured in the estimated cost of .reproducing the plant is over $40,000 for street paving over mains of the water company. Just how the company can rightfully claim paving as a part of its assets ia difficult for the board members to comprehend. Protest will also be made over listing as assets of the company service pipes into buildings which were put down at tbe expense of tbe property holders. These are listed at a value of $64,000. Board members also believe they will find justification in taking exceptions to a number of other items of valuation contained in the report. E It was learned today that the metropolitan board of police commissioners was seriously considering a slight increase in the site of the police force. The force is now below the maximum size and a headquarters reserve for night duty is much desired. The board believes one man on reserve duty at headquarters at night would be sufficient. This officer couid work with the patrol driver in responding to all emergency calls in the motor car which the board hopes to purchase as soon as possible. To provide this reserve officer it would be necessary to add one man to the force, the board believes, because it would seriously cripple the force to take a man off patrol duty and station him at headquarters. There are not any too many night patrolmen as it is and all the beats are large. Chief Goodwin has informed Mayor Robbins that he is perfectly satisfied with the red light reporting system, established last year, with the exception that it does not register the places where the patrolmen report from. A change providing this improvement will be considered. PLANS NEW METHOD Looking toward increasing the eficiency of the police department, Police Chief Goodwin ia planning a more adequate method of informing night patrolmen of men wanted by the local department. The present method, the chief believes, is one of the weakest featurs of the department. It has been the custom for some time for the night sergeant to read to the patrolmen at roll call the list and descriptions of men wanted, whether by the local department or by other departments which have sent out notices. Sometimes there are a number of these to be read. Trying to carry so many descriptions In their minds is confusing to the patrolmen. Chief Goodwin's plan is to purchase a mimeograph and run off copies of descriptions. Each night patrolmen will then be supplied with a copy. HE MAY SUCCEED OUR "LIL' ARTHOR" "The Whopper" is the jail nickname of Bruce Barrett, the young colored boy who is held for assault and battery with criminal intent on the eight-year-old daughter of Walker Leavell, of Elkhorn. Barrett is celebrating his seventeenth birthday anniversary today. Barrett is 6ix feet two inches tall, and just before being confined in the Jail tipped the scale at 250 pounds. Barrett claims he is falsely charged by the Leavells, who accuse him of maltreatment of their daughter. He will plead not guilty when arraigned tomorrow, he says. REPORT IS FILED Although it was believed a large sum of money remained in his car,e, the report of the attorneys for Charles Ray, who died December 18th, shows a balance of only $52 to the credit of Mary Stillwell for whom Ray was guardian. No account had been kept of the money until after Ray's death. He died in convulsions at the home of the Stillwells on North Sixth street from over exertion. The report was filed in circuit court today. STOMACH TROUBLES DUE TO ACIDITY

CONSIDERS

NCREAS

SO SAYS EMINENT SPECIALIST So-called stomach troubles, such as Indigestion, wind, stomach-ache and inability to retain rood, are In probably nine cases out of ten simply evidence that fermentation is taking place in the food contents of the stomach, causing the formation of gas and acids. Wind distends the stomach and causes that full, oppressive feeling sometimes known as heartburn, while the acid irritates and inflames the delicate lining of the stomach. The trouble lies entirely in the fermenting food. Such fermentation is unnatural, and acid formation is not only unnatural, but may involve most serious consequences if not corrected. To stop or prevent fermentation of the food contents of the stomach and to neutralize the acid, and render It bland and harmless, a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia, probably the best and most effective corrector of acid stomach known, should be taken in a quarter of a glass of hot or cold water Immediately after eating, or whenever wind or acidity is felt. This stops the fermentation, and neutralizes the acidity in a few moments. Fermentation, wind and acidity are dangerous and unnecessary. Stop or prevent them by tbe use of a proper antacid, such as bisurated magnesia, which can be obtained from any druggist and thus enable the stomach to do its work properly without being hindered by poisonous gas and dangerous acids.

Edgar Nicholson, chairman of the committee of one hundred in charge of the Honeywell tabernacle meetings, slated today that it was the hope of the finance committee to have enough money after next Sunday's contributions to meet all the expenses incurred in the erection of the tabernacle. To stimulate this effort, committees today visited a number of business houses and banks and solicited subscriptions. It is not known how much was subscribed. After Sunday, if enough money is raised by that time to meet expenses, Mr. Nicholson said, no nome contributions will be asked at the tabernacle until the last Sunday of the revival campaign, when all the money contributed will be presented to Mr. Honeywell. A FIRE INSPECTION Monday Building Inspector Hodgin will begin an investigation of all business houses and factories to ascertain if fire regulations are being properly observed. He will be accompanied by tbe fire chief. In every block where houses are inspected one member of the fire department will accompany these officials so that he will become thoroughly familiar with conditions firemen will be confronted with in case of fire. By this method every building in the business districts will be familliar to at least one fire fighter, who will be able to instruct his fellow members in the department with the knowledge gained by him through personal investigation. ADVISES CHANGES A committee on rules, of which Elbert Russell is chairman, will submit a report to council Monday night. Mr. Russell said today that it was probable the committee would recommend a slight reduction in the number of councilmanic committees and the incorporation of a few minor committees with more Important ones. Slight changes in the procedure of council will also be advised, but Mr. Russell was not prepared to make any definite statement today.

BESCHER COLLECTS CITY ORDINANCES No Definite Action Taken, As Yet, on Publishing.

No definite action for the codification and publishing of city ordinances, for which there is an appropriation of $1,500, has been taken by City Attorney Bond up to the present. Most of this money will be required for the publication of the ordinances, but some revenue will be received by the city by the sale of these volumes to local attorneys. City Clerk Bescuer nas collected all important ordinances passed by council since 1896, and they have been indexed by the city attorney, but the codifier will have a considerable task of weeding out ail obsolete ordinances and the ones which conflict with later bills. Some of the ordinance also conflict with the state laws. All unnecessary ordinances and those which have to be amended will be listed and submitted to council for action. After council acts the reviseu ordinances will be published. The ordinances passed prior to 1896 are now in book form MAY MEET WHARTON Both Mayor Robbins and President Bavis of the board of public works expressed satisfaction today with that part of the public statement made by the Light, Heat and Power company that it would change its billing system for natural gas and in the future charge patrons each month for the exact amount of gas consumed. However, they are not satisfied with the indefinite attitude assumed by the company in regard to the objectionable deposit rule. Mr. Bavis and Mr. Wharton conferred on that question today. Mayor Robbins states that he and his board are anxious to meet with Manager Wharton of the. company and ascertain definitely if the former board of public works ever officially approved of the company's rules so that an intelligent argument can be advanced to the state public utilities commission when it hears the protest filed by the city against the deposit rule. The natural gas franchise provides that the rules must be approved by the Richmond board of public works and the state commission. If the present board finds that the old board did formally approve of these rules it will make an effort to have the commission withhold its approval. POLICE JUDGE FINES FORMER LEGISLATOR Draping a fenoe on North A street, Roscoe Kirkman, formerly a state legislator, was arrested by Patrolman Westenberg yesterday. Kirkman was unable to walk and was dragged to police headquarters by the veteran patrolman, where he was charged with public intoxication. Arrested on a similar charge several weeks ago, Kirkman was released by W. W. Zimmerman, at that time mayor, on his promise to leave liquor alone. At that time Kirkman pleaded with tears in his eyes for a chance for his family's sake. He was fined $1 and costs today, entering a plea of guilty through Sergeant McNallyi Ira Manning was also fined $1 and costs for public intoxication.

Immediate bail is denied Harry K. Thaw in a decision announced today by Judge Aldrich of the United States' District court. This is one of the heaviest blows that has come to Thaw In New Hampshire. Aside from the personal freedom bail would have been given him, Thaw and his counsel ardently desired the weight of the legal precedent which it would have given his side if Judge Aldrich had seen at to accept bail for him, even before the final hearing on his habeas corups writ.

UNCLE SAM LOSES III TELEPHONE DEAL Representative Believes Interests Obtained Bis: Advantage.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. That the American Telephone and Telegraph company achieved an advantage in its agreement with the government to dissolve, is the opinion of members of congress who have studied the announced plan. Representative Lewis of Maryland, said today: "It is not unreasonable to suppose that the telephone interests have got tbe best part of the bargain. I can appreciate the reasonableness of the report that when the telephone company took over the Western Union it adjusted affairs so that tbe telegraph company would have lost some of its choice wire contracts and also that it fostered the use of the telephone rather than the telegraph." NO SAVINGS BANK ELIGIBLE TO That savings banks are not eligible ; to join the system of federal reserve banks under the new currency law is the substance of an opinion handed down by Thomas M. Honan, attorneygeneral. The savings banks are not. eligible because they have no capital : stock, and because the statutes set out the ways in which they may invest their funds, according to the attorney-general. Whether private banks may join the reserve system is a question with Honan, which he said the federal authorities would ultimately have to determine. He said he believed only trust companies and state banks may come under the federal law as mem- j bers of the reserve banks. j BURNS CAUSE DEATH Anthony Christoff. 22, the Bulgarian who was horribly burned about the chest and face while starting a j fire with coal oil mixed with gaso-1 line, died at the Reid Memorial hoa-1 pital today.
