THREE DYNAMITERS FACE LAST STRUGGLE Government Argues for Reversal of Decision Granting New Trials to Trio. BY LEASED WIRE CHICAGO, May 16. in the United States circuit court of appeals today arguments were begun on the government's petition for a rehearing of the action by which the higher court granted the petition for new trials of Olaf A, Tveitmoe of San Francisco, Richard Houlihan of Chicago, and William Bernhardt of Cincinnati, convicted in the dynamiting cases some time ago. Charles V. Miller, former United States district attorney at Indianapolis, who prosecuted the dynamiting cases in that city, represented the government today, and in opening his argument declared that Tveitmoe, Houlihan and Bernhardt were directly and intimately connected with the conspiracy to transport dynamite on passenger trains, which is in direct violation of the federal statutes. Elijah Zoline, represents the men. He will contend that the men were not connected with the conspiracy and are entitled to new trials. If the contention of the government are upheld, the court's action in granting the hew trials of the three men will be nullified and the three men returned to Leavenworth prison to serve the original sentences pronounced by Judge Anderson some time ago. (10 CESSATION IN NEW HAVEN PROBE BY LEASED WIRE1 WASHINGTON, May 16. There will be no cessation of the New Haven investigation by the interstate commerce commission, so far as the white house is concerned. It became known today that President Wilson has decided that the testimony of Charles S. Mellon is so striking and significant that its publication at this time will be of great value in accelerating antitrust legislation now before congress, and in bringing about a strong public nninion nsrainst liieh finance of the i vrn (hat r 1 t'r ) at fho Vouf Wnvon 1 road. For this reason, he is not in--lined to take sides in the controversy between Attorney General McReynolds and Solicitor Folk of the interstate commerce commission. Secretary Tumulty emphasized the fact that the president has not interferred in any way. GOOD SUGGESTIONS BY Y. M. C. A. WORKERS The religious workers' conference closed today at the Y. M. C. A., when Dr. Bnrbour and Dr. Latshaw told how to make Sunday afternoon men's meetings successful. Dr. Barbour suggested that meetings be held every Sunday afternoon in the winter and that good speakers be brought here. He gave suggestions as to topics of the speakers which will interest men and assure a good attendance at each meeting. Dr. Bramkamp. chairman of the committee on religious work of the association, will return a report at the next monthly meeting of the directors and some action will be taken then on the suggestions made by the international workers. HODGIN SETTLES A LINE FENCE FUED Just about the time Harry Hodgin, city building inspector, was about to climb the feathers last night the telephone bell tinkled. A woman told him that she and other members of her family were having trouble with the neighboring family next door over I a line fence and that she wanted him j to come at once and act as mediator. I "What you want is the police department if you are having trouble over a line fence," said Hodgin. "No, we want the building inspector," the woman replied, and Hodgin responded to the call. He found that the fence was not objectionable and after much argument persuaded the parties to the dispute to call off their quarrel. HAGERSTOWN CLUB BOOSTS S. S. MEETING The Hagerstown Commercial club has taken up the matter of supporting the County Sunday school convention to be held there May 21 and 22 next week and it is probable that the event will be made a bigger one than first anticipated. The Commercial club there is planning to entertain the hundreds of visiting delegates who will attend from all Wayne county churches. E. M. Haas and his committee have had arrangements completed for some time, even to the details and they now await only the time of the convention to carry them out. The affair will be a success from every angle, it is believed. Special trains will be run from some parts of the county. PAY $96,000 TAXES THROUGH THE MAILS Present indications are that final figures will show more taxes collected this year than last by County Treasurer Chamness. All figures at present are approximate. Taxes paid the last few days of the tax paying period, by mail alone, amounted to $96,000. Almost a week was required to answer the correspondence and mail out receipts. Many taxpayers in sending checks, made the mistake of deducting their road work credit from the tax statements sent them, although it had been previously deducted. H. DALLAS DIVOflCED Harry Dallas, an employe of the Wayne Works was granted a divorce from Florence Dallas in circuit court on" grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment. The name of a second man was mentioned but was not made a matter of record as Mrs. Dallas made no attempt to deny the charges. The couple hT been- separated.

RULES OfTTAX LAW Board of Accounts Calls Child Legal Stranger.

A step-daughter probably will be legally a stranger to her step-mother, If an offiiclal opinion of the state board of accounts , is upheld by Attorney General ' Honan. The origin of this question is in Richmond. The case came up when ' Nancle Crooks, formerly a resident of Olive Hill left a bequest to her step-daughter. T,oday the court valued the estate at 7,500. Under the law a daughter is entitled to $2,000 exemption In paying Inheritance tax and her tax is only one per cent. The question arose as to whether the daughter would come under this clause. The state board ' of accounts waa asked for an opinion and sent a reply that a stepdaughter would come under the clause covering strangers which legally means any person not a relation. This must be upheld by the attorney general before it is in force however. The stranger clause provides for an exemption of only $150 and taxes the inheritance five per cent. LEAGUE MEETS A meeting of the Women's Franchise league was held in the high school building this afternoon for the purpose of holding the annual election of officers. Miss Alice Moorman has been acting president, having filled the term of Mrs. S. W. Traum. Mrs. J. N. Hodgin has been the secretary for last year and Mrs. Roscoe Kirkman has been treasurer for the past year.

Scout Cruiser Chester in action in Vera Cruz harbor, while the lower picture is of three of the six sailors, whose arrest at Tampico was one of the most flagran insults offered the U. S. government by the Federal authorities at the Mexican port.

AT VERA CRUZ W. A. Osmer Worries Over Boy in Marine Corps. Worried because he has not heard from his son since he left on the battleship Arkansas for Vera Cruz, W. A. Osmer, of this city, intends writing to Secretary of the Navy Danieis to get information. Frank C. Osmer enlisted at the Richmond recruiting station in September, 1912, and was sent to Norfolk. Six weeks ago the father received a letter from the marine barracks, United States .Naval Powder depart ment, Dover, N. .1. As a marine young Osmer went to Vera Cruz on the Ar kansas. Long weeks without word has kept the father in suspense wondering whetner nis son was lying in the hospital wounded by a Federal sniper or what has happened to him. DELEGATION TO HEAR TAXATION REPORTS Members of the Commercial club taxation committee will hold a meeting soon to arrange for a delegation to represent the organization at the third tax conference called at Indiana university, June 8, 9 and 10. It is probable that the Richmond delegation will be larger than before, as added interest has been awakened in taxation reforms which are being studied by the local committee. The Richmond delegation probably will stand strongly in favor of a constitutional convention, which is the question before the meeting. On the partially completed program appear Prof. Jesse Macy. of Iowa college, on "The General Character of a Constitution," which later will be discussed by Addison C. Harris, of Indianapolis; Herbert S. Bigelow, of Cincinnati, president of the recent Ohio constitutional convention, on "The Educational Value of a Constitutional Convention;" Hugh T. Miller, on "Do We Need a Convention?"; Albert J. Beveridge on "The Marks of a Democratic Constitution; the Initiative, Referendum and Recall," and manv others.

The indoor fair and carnival will be unique in the annals of Richmond entertainments, and it will undoubtedly attract thousands of visitors during the week. Every preparation has been made to

Nightly musical programs and a free vaudeville entertainment form one of the numerous features and on Wednesday night the mcamond Maennerchor will attend and provide a special program of chorus numbers. The Eagles' home is well worth a visit, particularly on this occasion, when the members of the aerie have arranged for the special entertainment of their guests. Officers of the aerie today asked that newspapers make it very plain that all citizens are invited to attend the fair and carnival and especially is this Invitation for the ladies.

CENTENARIAN VERY BADLY HURT TODAY Mrs. Foster, Former Slave, Burned in Accident 111 Luck Pursues Family.

To add to the misfortunes of Preston and Mary Foster, former slaves, each believed to be a century old, Mrs. Foster was badly burned this morning when her dress caught fire. An unknown man saved her, probably from death, when be quickly threw a bucket of water over her. She is painfully burned in several places, especially her limbs. None of the burns are serious and Mrs. Foster was immediately given treatment by Dr. Anderson. The accident happened when Mrs. Foster was cooking before a stove between the ruined walls of what was their kitchen before the fire of last February, when the house, in Happy Hollow, was almost destroyed. The wind blew her dress against the door of the stove. Although medical aid will probably cost them nothing, the loss of the dress will be keenly felt by Mrs. Foster, for it was her only one. After the flames were put out, her step-daughter, Mrs. Trult, who was there, tore the burned dress from her body in an effort to treat the burns. Yesterday a new roof was put on the sleeping room of the house, making it habitable. This work was done by members of the Citizens' Union, who are responding readily to the relief of the aged couple. They presented the Fosters with $5 last night. ENVOYS OF MEXICO REACH U, S, CAPITAL BY LEASED WIRE WASHINGTON. May 16.
