The advance guard of delegates and visitors to the twenty-fourth annual convention of the Travelers' Protective association, will arrive tomorrow and Thursday, though the formal opening does not take place until Friday. The committees In charge of the various features of the big gathering have completed every detail of the work in hand and nothing remains but the formal greeting of the thousand visitors. Both the Westcott and the Arlington hotels. will be over-crowded with T. P. A. guests for the two days, and the committees have provided entertainment for many visitors in private homes. Friday night's banquet, which will be held in the Coliseum, will be much the largest affair of its kind that Richmond has ever witnessed, covers to be laid for 900 persons. The menu is to be elaborate. The cabaret performance, scheduled for the banquet hour, will be a novel feature, the Gomes Cabaret company, with six performers, coming here from Cincinnati to provide the entertainment. Following the banquet, dancing will be in order and the grand march at 9 o'clock is to be led by President and Mrs. Gorrell, of Lafayette. The business sessions of the organ ization will be held on Saturday in the Coliseum and in addition to the presentation of reports and the transaction of other routine business, the election of officers for the ensuing year will take place. It is reported that one of the subjects that will be brought up for discussion will be the tipping evil, the bane of every traveling man's existence. Traveling salesmen contend that if better wages were given hotel employes and railway porters it would not be necessary for them to graft off the traveling public. At the business session reports will be submitted calling for better hotel accommodations and sanitation. Sunday, May 11, is Mother's Day. Order now so you will not forget.

WITH THE The city is not to Insist on the raising of the railroad bridge over Main street, the expense to be shared by the railroad and the traction companies, and has agreed to permit the traction company to place its tracks in the center of the street, a distance of a few yards east of the railroad bridge up to a point within a few feet east of the river bridge, and the street to be graded from each curb down to the grade of the declivity under bridge, occupied by the tracks of the traction company. In return for this concession on the part of the city. General Superintendent Jeffries and Superintendent Warner of the T. H., I. & E., assured Mayor Robbins, members of the board of public works, City Engineer Charles and C. W. Jordan and E. M. Haas of the Commercial club, this afternoon, that the company would construct its Morton park line and extend its South Eighth street line Into Beallview. City officials and Commercial club members united in agreeing that the solution of the vexatious "bridge raising" problem was a satisfactory one, while the traction officials declared that they appreciated the city's fair treatment. After the railroad bridge had been inspected this afternoon, Mr. Jeffries announced that the traction company if compelled to shoulder an expense of raising "a bridge we do not own" would have no funds for the contemplated line Extensions. He said he was authorized to make this statement by President Todd. mon to fat bulls $5.508.00, common to fat cows $3.507.50, heifers $5.50 8.00, fresh cows springers $45.00 80.00, veal calves $9.009.25, heavy and thin calves $6.507.00.

GOOD BARGAIN

TRACTION COMPANY

Now that It has been agreed to grade that, part of Main street under the C. & O. bridge from the curbs down to the grade of the declivity, the paving of the street from the river' bridge to Fourth street can be started. Mr. Todd in speaking to the city officials, said he was gratified to see a more friendly attitude on the part of the new administration toward the traction company and that the company would show in substantial ways its appreciation of the new policy. "Richmond has always been a sore spot with us," Mr. Todd stated. "The city has always been in opposition to us and I don't care if you know that our expenses in this town for the past six years has always more than exceeded our receipts. If the street car company had been an independent corporation It would have been ?n the hands of a receiver long ago." Mr. Todd said that the traction company had been overwhelmed with expenses for a year, caused by the 1913 floods and the Indianapolis strike, and Informed the city officials that on April 30, last, it had passed its dividend on preferred stock for the first time since the company had been organized. Beallview and south end people will hail with delight the announcement that the long promised extension of the South Eighth street line is at last to become a reality, while the Morton park officials were delighted with the assurance that work will start at once on the construction of a line from North E street north, on North Nineteenth street to the park entrance.

HUNDLEY STARTS

E TO CHANGE MEMORIAL DATE Believes Desecration of Day Would Be Stopped If Congress Made Sunday Regular Holiday. L. A. Handley is behind a movement to change the date of Memorial day from May 30 to either the last Sunday in May or the first Sunday in June, and thus find a solution for the dese cration of the national holiday set aside to commemorate the soldiers who fought in the. Civil war. "I do not know yet whether or not I shall present a resolution to petition congress to make this change," said Mr. Handley today. "I want to wait until the psycological moment when the desecration of the day has had the effect on the members of the Sons of Veterans and the Grand Army to favor the change. Mr. Handley has been promoting such a movement for several years, and has spoken at conventions of the Sons of Veterans and the G. A. R. several times. However, if a fight is necessary to secure the passage of the resolution, it probably will not be presented, as there would be no assurance that the organizations would be behind it in spirit. "The day is a holiday now, and there are motorcycle and automobile races; baseball teams schedule doubleheaders long before the day; there are picnic and every other form of diversion to draw the attention of people from the real purpose of the day," Mr. Handley explained. Would Stop Desecration. "If the' date were changed to the first Sunday in June all preachers would have special sermons, and there i would be less desecration of Memorial May. Memorial day this year falls on Saturday, and of course this will prevent merchants and clerks from participating." Tomorrow morning a good sized delegation will leave Richmond for the i anual encampment at Indianapolis. In it will be represented the G. A. R., Sons of Veterans, the W. R.- C, the Ladies of the G. A. R. and the Sons of Veterans' Auxiliary. Mr. Handley is a member of the committee which makes the annual inspection of the Home for Orphans of Soldiers and Sailors at Knightstown, and distributes to each boy and girl there. Besides the members of the committee, of which Mr. Handley is the only local member, there will be a large number of others who visit the home as a matter interest. The Sons of Veterans will have two delegates at the meeting tomorrow and Thursday at Indianapolis. They are Harry Garrett and Charles Davis. Besides the delegates a dozen other members probably will attend. About half of the past commanders of the G. A. R. are expected to attend with live delegates and alternates. The W. R. C. delegates are Mrs. Nellie Meyer, Mrs. William Austin and Mrs. Pearl McMinn, with Mrs. Ora Stratton, Mrs. P'olinger and Mrs. Long as alternates. CARD OF THANKS. We desire to thank the kind neighbors and friends who so kindly assisted during the illness and death of our dear wife and mother. Addison Harris and Family. SICK HEADACHE. Mrs. A. L. Luckie, East Rochester. N. Y., was a victim of sick headache and despondency, caused by a badly weakened and debilitated condition of her stomach, when she began taking Chamberlain's Tablets.

INJUNCTION SERVED: BUT SHOWS OPEN UP

The legal construction of Judge Fox's decree, issued in 1911, enjoing the South Side Improvement association from fencing Beallview park, and mentioning the holding of carnivals and baseball games there as detrimental to the comfort of residents of the neighborhood, is now the basis of a fight between Henry H. Johanning and the South Side Improvement association, to prevent a carnival from being held in a block between L and M streets, from Kighth to Ninth street. Sheriff Bayer served a copy of the Judge's decree on Adolph Bllckwedel president of the association, today, but Bllckwedel replied that everything in the paper had been complied with, and that the carnival would operate as usual. Blickwedel refused to make a statement for publication, and is much incensed over the fact that his name was used in the affair. The carnival opened last night with two shows running. There was a fairsized crowd. Business was small, however, but the carnival management promises to have things running full force by tonight. A regular meeting of the South Side Improvement .association will be held tonight at 7 o'clock in Beallview park. Although not prearranged, the matter of the injunction probably will be discussed. Johanning has not announced his next move, but probably will file an affidavit against the improvement associaltiott for contempt of court. In this case Judge Fox will be called upon to make a legal construction of his own decree, which is thoroughly complicated and which can be reason ably construed for Johnanning and for the South Side Improvement associa tion. 1 CITY STATISTICS f Births.
