EATS 33 CRULLERS ' GIRL, 11, MARRIES TIP CAUSES BATTLE

To stop the segregation of colored people In theatres and other public places, a committee of C. R. Richardeon, F. M. Ovelton and Dr. W. W. Anderson of the Citizen's union, have been appointed to institute a campaign against .placing members of their race In certain small portions or forbidding them altogether. The committee members -waited on Mayor Robbing today having a secret meeting with him. They announced

that the cause of the meeting will be

made public within a few days and

they expect Mayor Robbins to espouse

their cause.

Richard B. Harrison, a dramatist,

will be brought here May 4, and if possible will talk at the Murray the

atre. The members of tne committee

announced their determination to con

cult O. G. Murray, owner of the house at once to have the colored performer

appear there.

The three colored leaders are work

ing in the interests of other members of their race who have not had the

advantages of higher education. Dr.

Anderson is a graduate of a medical college; Mr. Richardson completed a law course and Rev. Ovelton attended a theology school. Want Better Conditions. "Our race cannot get these outside advantages under present conditions," asserted Mr. Richardson. "We want to throw down these color bars against us and give the colored people a chance." He declared that the 150 persons who regularly attend the meetings of the Citizens' union are prepared to fight to a finish the battle for equalization, not only legally but in spirit In this city and that similar movements have been going on in other cities of the country. The union has nome influential men of this city interested tn Its work and later will have speakers from among Richmond's business and professional men. The keyword of the fight against segregation will be the future conduct of members of the raee, they believe. "We have our bad element," said !Mr. Richardson. "But the other races have their bad elements, too. We try to help these people and uplift them and that is more than the people of other races do." The members of the committee believe the race is misunderstood throughout the country and they will try to get in close touch with others.

A NURSE TAKES DOCTOR'S ADVICE And is Restored to Health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Euphemia, Ohio. "Because of total Ignorance of how to care for myself when verging into womanhood, and from taking cold when going to school, I suffered from a displacement, and each month I had severe pains and nausea which always meant a lay-off from work for two to four days from the time I was 16 years old. ' ' I went to Kansas to live with my sister and while there a doctor told me of the Pmkham remedies but I did not use , them then as my faith in patent medicines was limited. After my sister died I came home to Ohio to live and that lias been my home for the last 18 years. "The Change of Life came when I was 47 years old and about this time I saw tny physical condition plainly described in one of your advertisements. Then I began using Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and I cannot tell yon or any one the relief it gave me in the first three months. It put me right where I need not lay off every month and during the last 18 years I have not paid oat two dollars to a doctor, and have been blest with excellent health forawowoman of my age and I can thank Lydia E. Pmkham 'b Vegetable Compound for it. "Since the Change of Life is over I have been a maternity nurse and beiqg wholly self-sapporting I cannot over estimate the value oi good health. I have now earned a comfortable little . home just by sewing and nursing. I have recommended the Compound to . many with good results, as it is excellent to take before and after childbirth."

UNDERHILL CITES

CHANCE TO GRAFT

Explains Loop Hole in Build

ing Code to Inspector and

Objects.

Harry Hodgin, building inspector,

spent most of the morning closeted

with Alfred Underbill, who wants the

inspector to revise the building code

TJnderhill says he wants to build four

houses but is afraid to start because

the city can "hold him up" under the

provisions of the code.

The particular clause to which TJn

derhill objects is one of the amend

ments in which a person objecting to

a decision of the inspector can com

plain to the board of works and secure

the appointment of a committee of

three to decide on the case. One

would be appointed by the building

inspector, one by the house owner and

the third would be the president of

the board of works. The committee men would be paid $2 a day for each

day or fraction they worked and the money would be paid by the owner of

the house or the complainant.

i Underhill says the city officials could get a large sum of money from

I him by causing such a committee to j put in many fractional days, all of ! which would cost Underhill $2 for

! each member. However, he denied i that he contemplates disobeying the

code, thus causing need for the committee.

THREE DAYS LEFT T8 -SALUTE FLAG

O'Shaughnessy Receives U.

S. Ultimatum to Make Reparation for Insult to Flag.

MEXICO CITY. April 14. Nelson

O'Shaaghnessy, American charge d'affaires, received a long cablegram

from Washington early today that la believed to contain the final and peremptory demand from the United States government for the salute to the flag by the Mexican troops at

Tampico as complete reparation for the arrest of United States marines

there.

Charge O'Shaughnessy refused to

reveal the contents of the message,

but it is reported that it extended the limit to three days in which President Huerta may reach a decision as to what action he will take. This three-

day period will end at 6 p. m. Thurs

day. .

Minister of War Blanquet refused to

comment today on the Vera Cruz dispatches that quote Gen. Gustavo . Maas

as stating that the American flag

would not be saluted by the Tampico soldiers, but attaches of the war department intimated that Gen. Maas would .have the full backing of his

superiors "even If President Huerta ruled otherwise." This last statement indicated that friction has arisen between Gen. Blanquet and the.president. It was regarded as significant in this connection that Gen. Blanquet

was the first to leave the cabinet meeting heTd at the National Palace Monday morning.

11 RICHMOND FANS SEE REITS OPENER Followers Make Annual Trip to See Cincinnati and Cubs Clash Today.

On to Cincy! is the Blogan of genuine baseball bugs of this city for every bug that could in any way throw off the shackles of business for the day has departed for the Buckeye

metropolis to witness the Reds do battle with Hank O'Day's Chicago Cubs, this afternoon. Just what the Reds will do against the Windy City bunch is largely a matter of conjecture as both nines liave been exhibiting about the same class of ball in their spring work. The Cubs are in a bad way this year through the loss of several of their best men and with a new and untried manager at the helm, big things are not expected from that team this year. The Reds, on the other hand, have not been showing any surprising amount of class in their early work. True, the team has been going along fairly well of late and should be able to give a good account of itself this afternoon, with Johnston in the box. The big question that confronts Cincy supporters is what will the Reds do with the slants of Cheney, the premier Cub flinger. Cheney has Teen going at a good clip of late and the Reds will have to open up a bit to do anything big in the scoring line today. Of the Richmond contingent Elmer Eggemeyer, Linus Meredith, John Bayer, Clarance Jessup, Lew Iliff, Al Morel, H. H. Engelbert, Ed Green, William Bloom, Al Lancaster and Alf Collet will be on hand at the opening heave.

The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy It entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply It at night when resiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. Do this tonight, and by morning most if not all of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every singls sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy; silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. If you want to preserve your hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for nothing destroys the hair more quickly. It not only starves the hair and makes it fall out, but it makes it stringy, straggly, dull, dry, brittle. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work.
