ENJOINS AGAINST CARNIVAL TO OPEN IN BEALLVIEW

Henry H. Johanning. 1022 South C street, today announced his intention of taking every step toward preventing the holding of a carnival on the South Side Improvement association grounds in Beallvlew unless the improvement will agree to donate the receipts for use in improving the park. Johanning bases his fight on the fact that the abstract of title .last issued in 1907 dedicates the ground between L and M. streets fron Eighth to Ninth streets as public park: property and Johanning . claims that this clause makes it the property. of the county and therefore not attachable for use for carnivals, baseball games or exhibitions. He says he will first have an execution served against the improvement association if the earnival opens as scheduled this afternoon and if the injunction of. Judge Fox entered in December 1911 is not obeyed, the association will be prosecuted for. contempt of court. See Private Quarrel. Officers of the South Side. Improvement association are much wrdught up over Johannlng's announcement that he will enjoin them from holding the carnival and say that Johanning is persecuting the association because of a private quarrel of his with an individual member, Adolph .Blickwedel, the president. . Johanning himself is a large stockholder in . the organization. The same matter came up in 1911. Johanning owns lot No. 121 on South Eighth street between M and N streets.

Threatens Exposures. The fight now hinges around the company's claim to the -property and legal technicalities involved in the 1911 injunction. ,' Adolph Blickwedel stated that the association has no intention of putting a stop (o the carnival and any action on Johannlng's part will embroil both the corporation and "Johanning in -a legal battle. . He . claims that the ground belongs to the improvement association, which it does, if the' order of the court can be maintained. "Court officials believe Johanning can do nothing by making use of the injunction now existing against the association to prevent -the fencing in of the streets and alleys and of grounds opposite Johannlng's Eighth street property. "After I get through with this, I am going to make some more startling investigations," Johanning said to a Palladium representative. "They are running the Indianapolis Glove company like a certain hardware store was run and they are operating a booze joint In Beallview park that we will show up later." .He said he will leave no stone unturned to bring about his end unless the money realized from the carnival is placed in a fund for the improvement of the property.

RICHMOND SHIPPERS FAVOR HIGHER RATE

The Commercial club will go on record as favoring a five per cent increase in freight rates at the meeting of the board of directors tonight if the expression of the railroad committee is concurred in. At a meeting held this afternoon by members of the committee together with officials of the Pennsylvania and C. and O. railroads, several matters came up for adjustment but nothing final was consummated. ... . : John Lontz of the F. and N. Lawn Mower company, in behalf of his firm, asked to go on record as favoring the increased rate, and declared the railroads have been persecuted by legislative bodies and the public as a result of agitations started by "yellow journals." "We do not appreciate enough the service we are receiving from the railroads here," Mr. Lontz said. "We are willing Jo pay that five per cent. The facilities have been improved, labor has gone np, but the freight rates have not . increased although the two cent passenger rate bill was made' a law by legislators without even an investigation to show whether- or not this would make a losing or a paying investment." S. W. Hayes of the Hayes Track Appliance company said: "Believing that a flourishing condition among the railroads will mean a financial uplift of the whole section of the country, we stand in favor of an increase in freight rates.". Among the officials at the meeting were George LeBoutilier, superintendent of the Richmond division, Pennsylvania lines; C. D. Slifer, freight agent on the Pennsylvania; ,C. L. Sprague, division freight agent, Pennsylvania;' Division Freight Agent Shaw, of Muncie, C. and O. ; and Freight Agent Greenstreet, of Richmond, C. and O. The matter of securing an addition to the freight depost of both railroads was brought up. Mr. LeBoutilier stated that since the Pennsylvania freight depot was built ten years ago, the business has increased seventy per cent and admitted that in any abnormal business times, the facilities were taxed beyond capacity. Both the C. and O. and the Pennsylvania officials said that plans had been made for increasing the roofed depot space, but there is no definite arrangement as to when this can be afforded. Neither railroad is making extensive changes along the lines. The committee report will be brought before the club tonight. CLERKS TO ORGANIZE There will be a meeting at 7:30 this evening at the Commercial club rooms by the clerks of the city, who are to organize a union.

SALOON AS FILTHY AS MANY PIG STIES

"The saloon is the fly In the ointment of clean-up week in Richmond," the Rev. L. E. Murray told the congregation at the First Christian church yesterday morning. He said the saloon was equal to a pig sty in its stench and drew more flies than many of the collections of trash in the city. The necessity for a clean-up week, he said, demonstrated the truth that no person lives all alone in the world. The character and spiritual welfare of people depend largely on their surroundings, he said, which made it all the more necessary that the environment should be kept as clean and wholesome as possible. CLEAN-UP WORK GOES ON RAPIDLY Members of the yard claning committee met today at the Commercial club rooms and renoi-ted the nrnrrosa of the work. Sub-committees have j done the work assigned them as far ! as possible up to this time, and the committee's end of the movement is at its height. However, the carrying out of the plans, committee members said, remain with the citizens of Richmond and it is believed that before Thursday night, they will have responded. There has been much cleaning up in Richmond already, and committee members are pleased with the outlook of making Richmond "the cleanest city." FORMER SLAVE DIES IN RICHMON The Rev. Benj.
