The event will be given under the auspices of the high school alumni, and will be managed by Prof. Ralph C. Sloane. The afternoons will be given over to Ihe grade and Garfield schools. The first afternoon will be a demonstration of public school physical culture, and only pupils of the grades will take part. A feature of this will be the aesthetic dances and also a May pole dance. The physical training exercises will be accompanied by the high school orchestra. No other music will be presented at that time by this organization. The gymnastic work program is in the hands of the physical directors of the city schools, Robert Ndhr and Miss Clara Comstock. The second afternoon will be given over to the Garfield sehqol altogether. The orchestra of thirty-five pieces will play the first part of the program, and the second part will be the presentation of Aiken's "Fairie Festival," an operetta written by Prof. Aiken, of the Cincinnati schools, by a chorus of one hundred and fifty pupils. The orchestra will accompany this number. Miss Elizabeth Sands will lead the orchestra. She is head of the music department of Garfield school. Seventy Pieces in Orchestra.

The orchestra last year scored one of the hits of the festival. Haydn's "Creation" will be given the second evening by a chorus of three hundred singers from the student body of the hight school. Prof. Sloane says this number will be presented for the first time in this state by a full high school chorus.

Protessional soloists who will sing special parts in the opera, will be from Cincinnati. They are Mary Peyton, soprano; Walter Vaughan, tenor, arid John Dodd, basso. These singers are ""''ered the best that can be procured. lie Richmond Symphony orchestra will not appear this season in connection with the May Festival as has been the custom, but will give its concert earlier in the season. The money cleared from the festival will go in a fund to assist deserving high school graduates, who can not afford to complete their education at college. BIG DAMAGE CAOSED Fire Burns Buildings Valued At $2,000,000. DURHAM, X. C. March 24 Fire which for a time threatened to consume the entire city, was brought under control today after it had done damage estimated at nearly $2,000,000. Although no lives were lost there were a number of narrow escapes. The fire broke out in the Duke building, the only sky-scraper in Durham. Before the fire department could reach the scene the blaze had spread through three floors of the structure. Flames which poured through the windows of the Duke building set fire to the Municipal building. From this building the fire leaped across the street. During the height of the blaze the water main burst and the firemen were badly handicapped. The Duke building housed the offices of the Tobacco Trust magnates, various interests, and was supposed to be fire proof. POLICE SHOOT BOY Lad, 15, Receives Six Bullet Wounds. TERRE HAUTE, March 24.

The lad was detected in Tetzel's Gun Shop by a passing policeman who summoned reinforcements and demanded that he surrender. The reply was a fusillade of shots, the police retaliating with riot guns while the boy sheltered himself in an automobile in the rear of the store. Every window in the place was shattered and when McWilliams, streaming with blood, finally gave up five loaded revolvers were found in his pockets. GIRL TAKES POISON WABASH, Ind., March 24.

In the brief filed by the attorneys of the Richmond City Water Works with the public service commission yesterday, a compromise valuation of 900,000 is asked as a value that would be fair and just to the city and the company. The brief also sets out that, according to the schedule of rates filed by the city attorney, the revenue of the company would be reduced to 157.534.93, which is $35,000 less than than the amount necessary on the basis of the $700,000 valuation which the city is claiming. The attorneys for the company claim that the plant has actually cost $852,065.17, shown by the accountant's report. They also claim that they should be permitted to earn seven per cent on the $900,000 valuation, submitting the following table of outlays: Operating expenses for 1913. $34,958.52 Extra expenses required by accounting system prescribed and by service before the commission 1,500.00 Salaries additional 1,800.00 Depreciation fund 9,000.00 Additional taxes 12,734.00 Total $59,992.52 On this basis, it would take $122,992.52 in revenue to meet the fixed

charges and pay the 7 per cent. As the income from water during the year ending June 30, 1913, was only $82,701.20, it. would mean that the annual revenues would have to be increased $40,291.32.

In commemoration of the flood of March, 1913, a booklet entitled "An Appreciation," by -Fred ' Gennett, secretary of the Starr Piano Co., was yesterday issued to every member of the working force of the concern. The booklet tells of the disastrous flood of last March and is illustrated with photographs describing the havoc of the water. In the description of the local flood the booklet states that the Whitewater, ordinarily a practicaJly dry stream, attained aheight, of approximately nineteen feet on the night of the flooding, of the lower rooms of the factory. The damage done by the raging waters to the plant that night is illustrated in the pages of the issue. To prevent repetition of the disaster, the Starr Piano concern has done everything in its power to mitigate the danger of another flood. A concrete wall, more than 1,500 feet in length.'and 25 feet high in places, has been built. Not only has this wall hftctn huilt

Woman Claims Answer to Divorce Problem

A teacher in one of Richmond's public schools, who has studied social conditions, declares that she has a plan which is carried out now, eventually will result in a solution to the divorce evil. Her plan is almost identical with that of a Cleveland teacher. "I believe in beginning while a child is young to teach them certain rules which they will be compelled to follow later on in life," she said by way' of explanation. "Untidy homes are many times responsible for dissatisfied husbands and if we teach the girls, starting at the age of thirteen or fourteen, the duties of a housewife we will do much towards eliminating marital troubles which may come later on. "My plan would be to rent a small house near the school building. Iet the girls learn how to clean this house, attend to having it re-papered, give it a thorough scrubbing and then let them take charge and see that it is kept clean and tidy. I would let the girls obtain estimates for the painting and papers and every article of furniture from gas stoves to draperies and linen. Economy is the first consideration. "Of course, no girl should be given enough to do to tire her. Teach each the simple methods of cleaning. I would have the first class clean the floors and windows and sweep. The next class could buy and prepare the lunch, the third class eat the meal and the fourth clean the dishes and end the day in sewing. The classes would rotate each day so that the work would be different. "Plana similar to this have been

When the troops boarded street cars in front of the Buffalo armory to go to the Lackawanna railroad station, the crews refused to man the cars. An officer of the 74th regiment drew a revolver and forced the motormen to run the cars. The troops fixed bayonets and made their way through the mob. The strikers, many of whom are foreigners, are enraged by the presence of the soldiers. As they are armed, a situation of intense gravity exists.
