BIRTHDAY

Schools to Close in Afternoon in Memory of Martyred -President.

A R R ANGE PROGRAMS

For the first time in the history of the city schools a half holiday will be printed the students of all buildings. Thursday afternoon in memory to the birthday of Abraham Lincoln. This decision wae reached this morning following a conference between members of the school board and Superintendent J. T. Giles of the city schools. . . The schools will convene in their regular sessions Thursday morning. A portion of the morning will be devoted to short period, classes-and the remainder will be a celebration of the birthday of the martyred president. The different schools in the city are planning literary and musical programs. In many of-the buildings prominent citizens will make addresses. The 'school rooms are being decorated with pictures of the war president and in many buildings the bust of Abraham Lincoln appears as a part of the permanent collection of the figures of the noted men. The primary grade rooms are the scenes of many interesting pictures concerning the life of the late chief executive. Pictures of the Lincoln cabin, the new Lincoln memorial monument to be erected near Washington, scenes depicting his contest with Stephen A. Douglass, are hanging on the wall and in some cases pasted on large cardboards.

Deposit Rule on Gas Service is Outlined

Board of Works and Utility Company Take Up Rough Draft of New Schedule.

The much discussed deposit rule of the Richmond Light, Heat & Power company, pertaining to its natural gas service, appears to be in a fair way of revision so that it will be satisfactory to the company, city and public. The question was up - for debate again at the meeting of the board of public works this forenoon and before adjournment a revised rule had been roughly outlined, which, if polished up sufficiently to meet the demands of the board, probably will receive the O. K. of the parties in controversy. It was understood before the question was discussed that the board was acting in the matter in an entirely unofficial capacity and was thus obviating an official recognition of the other sixteen rules of the company's natural gas service. If the deposit rule is rearranged to the satisfaction of the board, it has been decided, the company will formally submit its entire list of rules for the approval of the board. Last fall the company stoutly maintained that the board had already

approved its rules, so this concession was quite a victory for the city. j Council May Act. If the natural gas rules, including tiio rc.iafl one pertaining to deposits, are satisfactory to the board when oflicialiy brought before it, the board ni'i rpromineml to council that it rescind the ordinance making it unlawii. or a public service corporation to require deposits or guarantees of its j patrons, and the board will then give i its approval to the rules.

Today Wilfred Jessup, counsel for the Light, Heat & Power company, presented another draft of a deposit rule, which reads as follows: "The company reserves the right to require a reasonably safe guarantee or casli deposit, sufficient to meet the estimated cost for the service of natural gas rendered for a term of six weeks.

Such cash deposit shall in no case be less than $5.00. No interest shall be paid upon such deposit. No guarantee or deposit shall be required of customers who have met all payments before delinquency (payment before the tenth day of the next calendar month after consumption not being considered delinquency) for the term of one year. "At the expiration of continuance or

guaranty or deposit for the term of one year, or upon discontinuance of

service, the customer is entitled to

the surrender up of such guaranty or

cash deposit, provided all bills for ser vice of gas have been paid.' Rule Problematic.

It was suggested that this rule might be applied to reliable parties parties who had never had natural

gas service but might apply for it in

the future, that is, such people might

be required to place a deposit or guaranty for a period of one year. Mr. Jessup said that he would place the company on record of having no desire or purpose of enforcing the deposit rule against any class of citizens except those it believed it should have protection against. The company, he said, did not care to handle cash deposits and would not do so unless the risk involved made such action necessary. - He was also told that the rule could be applied to a man who for twelve months conscientiously paid his gas bills, but became delinquent on the thirteenth month. Mr. Jessup replied that no deposit would ever be required of a patron who became delinquent for legitimate reasons, and he said the rule could be officially interpreted by the board to that effect. President Bavis of the bo. rd, stated after the meeting that with a few modifications, he believed the rule woulu be acceptable. He will insist on the elimination of the $5 minimum deposit feature, and will hold out for a clause requiring the company to pay interest on all deposits. At the opening of the meeting, Mr. Bavis presented Mr. Jessup with a statement formally rejecting all the features of the deposit rule presented by Mr. Jessup last week.

of the Young Men's Christian associa

tion, was the first of a series oi nve Sunday afternoon meetings. The address of Dr. McGurk was along evangelistic lines and the speaker appealed to the men, who had not

accepted Christianity, to give themselves to Christ and a lead a Christian life. He declared that there was no way to escape Christ and that man could never get away from God. j "Instead of doing things which will j place you farther from Christ, you j should try to win Him," said the Day-, ton pastor. "Everyone should know j

Him and should make every effort to ;

lead the true Christian life." Music for the afternoon was furnished by the Y. M. C. A. double male quartet and a men's chorus lead by J. A. McAfee. Peter Quartel, a mission worker at Dayton accompanied Dr. McGurk to this city and he sang three solos at the meeting yesterday.
