CHAUTAUQUA BODY Association Re-Elects Entire Board, and Officers After Signing Contract With Booker T. Washington.

"Sunshine" Hawks, Genial Platform Manager, Agrees to Return for First Week of Richmond's Assembly. From now on, the plans for Chautauqua will go forward rapidly as guarantors are organized with a board of directors and officers. The same officers were re-elected at a meeting held at the Commercial club last night as last year. They are Richard Sedgwick, president; O. F. Ward, vice president; Clarence H. Kramer, treasurer; and F. P. Kiggs, secretary of the board. It was announced that a contract has been signed with Booker T. Washington. A few other open dates will be filled soon, completing the program early. Richmond's white city will officially open August 16 and clone August 31. "Sunshine" Hawks, the popular platform manager of last year, will be here again this year and will act during the first week. The second week will be completed by Maynard Daggy, who is rated high among platform managers. Board Offers Parte. The board of works, believing Glen Miller park the logical place for chautauquas, has offered the usual Chautauqua place to the directors for the term of the Robbins administration and even offered to sign a contract to that effect, should one be demanded. Tickets will be sold as usual about August 1 and the plats of lots will be open then. Rules used in former years will govern Chautauqua this year. In order to complete plans more rapidly, a secretary will be chosen to hnv olinrge at Chautauqua headquarters. 'i he committee on tents will order 250 tents this year with an option on fifty more which will be taken according to demand. The directors elected last night by the guarantors are: Richard Sedgwick, O. F. Ward, C. W. Jordan, C. 11. Kramer, Filmore Riggs, C. O. Williams, John F. Hasemeier, Frank Davenport and E. P. Trueblood. Teachers' Institute will be held in connection with chautai.yua this year after which the county organization will vote on the proposition of holding peparate institutes. Republican ward meetings tonight. POWER RATE CUT (Continued from Page 1.) Fence company, the latter the largest power consumer in the city, do the. came on Superintendent Kleinknecht's assurance that a further rate reduction was to h,e made. Superintendent Kleinknecht denied today that he had informed Mr. Lontz that if the city got all the power business, the state commission would be justified in authorizing a further nedii'.'tion of such rates for this city, lie also said that he contracted with the Dil! McGuire company and the fence company without ever discussing with their representatives the question of rate reductions. Robbins is Surprised. Mayor Robbins' only comment on this question was that he was surprised when he found the meeting yesterday was not for thu purpose of discussing the proposed minimum rate and double throw charge reductions and he expressed the opinion that there was no city in the state which had a lower or more equitable power rate schedule. He said that he doubted very much if a private plant could produce current at a cost of threequarters of a cent per k. w., which was en assertion made by Mr. Lontz, but 6aid he had r.o objections t make if Mr. Lontz and the other manufacturers who are demanding a rate reduction attempted to make their own current with gasoltue engines. President Bavis of the hoard said the board had no kowledge of any rate reduction offer as a bait for the patronage of the manufacturing interests and he further stated that he had fchown Mr. Lontz that with the rale his company now has it is Obtaining Its power $300 less than what it did last year. Bond to Investigate. City Attorney Bond said that he had Jiot had time to thoroughly consider the charges made by the manufacturers yesterday that there should be a futner reduction in power rates, but eaid he intended to make an investigation of this question and if there were any inequalities or injustices in these rates he would advise alterations. Superintendent N. H. Johnson of the Light, Heat & Power company attended the meeting yesterday but took no part in the discussion. He heard the electrical plant of his company referred to, however, as a "collection of junk," by Mr. Reid, and he heard Mr. Lontz state that the state commission would have no legal right to forbid further rate reductions in Richmond to protect the interests of the Light, Heat & Power company which refused to meet the city's competition by providing modern equipment for its electrical plant. lie said If the L. II.. & P. continued its non-progressive policy it should be Ignored by the commission and the city plant permitted to reduce its rates as low as possible. President Bavis of the board made the statement that the municipal plant must be conducted for the best interests of all the taxpayers and that the plant's success was concurrent with that of the manufacturing interests of the city, and that it was the board's desire to provide as low rates for all classes of patrons as possible, but, he fiid, he believed that pome of the manufacturers had lost eight of the fact that the state commission law protected the city plant's competitor and prevented the establishment of rates the city plant could afford to offer but which would be

Competition Gone. Mr. Lontz retorted that the city i plant "has no competitor now. The" old plant is out of commission, and I helped to put it out of commission at the instance of your Mr. Kleinknecht, who had assured me if the city plant could secure a monopoly of the daylight business, the power business, rates would be lowered." Mr. Lontz in a spicy talk asserted that he had been misled by the city plant superintendent and concluded by stating that the city's policy should be to make rates which would induce factories to locate in Richmond and not prevent them from operating here. "I don't mind paying a rate which will j give the city a fair profit, but I do I object to paying a rate which gives j the city one hundred per cent profit." istall Own Plants. Char' McGuire ctf the Dille, McGuire company, asserted tlat if fair power rates were not provided plants would be forced to provide their own current, with the possible result that the local power plants would lose so much daylight business they would be forced to increase their lighting rates. Raymond Nicholson, of the Nicholson Printing company, defended the existing rate schedule. He said only four or five large consumers were apV versely affected by them and that the large number of small consumers would be perfectly satisfied if the minimum rate was reduced to a reasonable figure and the double throw charge cut down. He said he thought the purpose of the meeting was to discuss that question and he was greatly disappointed because it had not been considered. However, city officials say that they recognize that the minimum rate and the double throw charge are too high and that the state commission is to be asked to authorize a satisfactory reduction. Mr. Reid complained mostly of the graduated rate system which compels a consumer to pay so much for the first 500 k. w. and so on up a "ladder scale," as he styled it, but this sys- ! tem found defenders, who also assert I that it is the only one which the state j commission will tolerate. He declared ! the double throw charge prohibitive and asserted that it was unfair that the two plants would not assume liability for breaks in service.

ENDOWMENT DAY "Endowment Sunday" will be observed by the St. Paul's Episcopal church next Sunday, according to announcements which have been sent to members and friends of the church by the committee. Money contributed at this tlm will go into the endowment fund which was established a fewmonths ago. This day for special offering is in addiUojj to the movement to have all, who can, remember the church in their wills. Koll Joins Move For Short Hours Du ring Ho t Days Hans Koll, manager of the RichInsurance Agency, announces a change in office hours during the summer months that cjerks and other employes may have more leisure. In his announcement Mr. Koll expresses hope that the movement will become universal throughout the city. His statement follows: Editor of the Palladium, City. Dear Sir: In connection with the statement in your last night's paper that the "Palais Royal" will give its employes one afternoon free each week, which action is to be highly recommended, we beg to advise you that we have arranged our office hours from 8 a. m. to 2 p. ni. during the summer-jnonths. We firmly believe that intelligent and alert clerks can give better service during 6 hours of concentrated work, while their faculties are at their best, than during 8 or 10 hours of partial listlessness. Since last September we also have a Saturday half-holiday and find that we now easily turn out as much work and give as good service in 5 days as we formerly did in six days. We write you this letter as it may prove to be an impetus to other offices and similar concerns to give as much relief and happiness, tne result of plenty of outdoor play and exercise, to their employes as is consistent with good business. A healthy and satisfied employe is the best asset a firm can have. Very sincerely yours, Richmond Insurance Agency. By Hans N. KolL Mgr.

Opening day for Morton park probably will be made an annual event, according to the informal conversation of tte members of the advertising committee of the Commercial club at a meeting held last night. The new park will probably be made an advertising medium for the city of Richmond. It was announced that a silver cup would be given by S. E. Swayne for disposal according to the committee's plans. The cup probably will be given for some of the opening day races. Mr. Swaytie was president of the Commercial club during the time the park project vms formulating and until the water was let into the lake for the first time and is boosting the park at every opportunity. The work of the committee consisted chiefly in going over the race programs which have been altered considerably from those first planned. June 11 is expected to take the place of the three days In fall devoted to a fall festival and enough of sports will be offered to make up for the absence of parades and decorations on the streets. If a plan is worked out to make the park opening an annual spring affair, the cups will be given for only one year with each winner's name engraved on them until it is won by some person, three times. With two cups assured, it is probable that a third will be offered soon.

During the eight months of existance of the state fire marshal's office, the reports taken from over the state show that Wayne county is just averi age in the number of fires based on i i the population.

The number of fires in the county outside of Richmond has j caused the county's showing to be ; lower than it should be, as Richmond itself, as a good record for few fires.
