CARR DISSATISFIED WITH PRESIDENT'S TRANSLATION Richmond Manufacturer Calls on Wilson With Committee But Receives No Satisfaction.

LAURIER DEMANDS PROBE OF WRECK

"We told President Wilson that while money was cheap and plentiful and crops the best in years, business conditions were very bad, and thousands of men were out of employment. The president told us that existing conditions were merely psychological, whatever that means, and everything would be normal again soon." This was the statement made today bv James A. Carr, president of the American Seeding-Machine company, of this city, who, with several Ohio and Illinois members of the National Implement and Vehicle Manufacturers' Legislation committee, have just returned from Washington, where they called upon President Wilson and discussed business conditions for about a half-haur. Apparently, Mr. Carr was far from satisfied with the reception the manufacturers' committee received at the white house and the president's attitude on the vitally important question they came to discuss with him. Big Curtailment. "We begged Mr. Wilson to call oft further trade legislation for the time being, until at least a trade commission has been appointed to make an investigation, and give the business interests a chance to draw their breath," Mr. Carr explained. "lie told us that he did not believe conditions were as bad as generally believed, and said lie would support the passage of the Clayton bill, which provides an amendment of the Sherman antt-trust law and other revolutionary provisions which are certain further to disturb business all over the nation. Perhaps if the president saw thf thousands of persons who are out of work in this country, when there is absolutely no cause for such a condition of affairs, he would not hold to the opinion that conditions now are psychological and immaginary." Mr. Carr says that there would be no objection to inaugurating legislation recommended by a government trade commission after it had made a careful investigation of affairs, but the "hit-and-miss" system used in drafting the tariff law and now being employed in drafting legislation affecting business interests of the country, will only further prostrate industry. Tsxt of Memorial. The committee of which Mr. Carr was a member, presented this memorial to the president: "We, the undersigned, representing the National Implement and Vehicle association, the Ohio Manufacturers' association and the Illinois Manufacers' association, in which states the manufacturing industry represents 33, Hit factories, employing 1,084,000 em :'.oy. -. with an annual pay roll of ' : .,(!, desire to co-operate with

HOBO HATES WORK

"When I was here last winter I tried to break into jail, but you wouldn't let me. Now it's summer and I don't want to go to jail and you send me to the dog house. I bet next winter when I get back here I'll raise such a row you will have to send me to jail," complained Harry Walker, a hobo, when he drew $1 and costs in city court today for intoxication. When told he would have to work on the roads he grinned derisively. "Who, me? Well not much," he retorted. "I never worked in my life and I won't start now." Glen Wagoner, William McNutt and Dave Ilensley, all under twenty, drew fines of $1 and costs each for intoxication. They said the whiskey had been given then by a drunken tramp as he was leaving the city.

John Kenworthy, a resident of Easthaven avenue, reported today to Prosecutor Reller concerning his ten-year-old ward, Lawrence Hauser, whose parents, Mr. and Mrs. Emory Hauser, while he was living with them, frequently kept him chained in their home. Last year the court took the child from them and placed him in the custody of Kenworthy. "I got the boy when he was nine years old and he did not know his A-B-C's, but now he is in the third grade and he has never given me the slightest trouble," said Kenworthy. The boy was treated so badly at his parents' home that he was constantly trying to run away. Finally they kept him chained to a chair most of the time to keep him at home. One day, a

For Monuments to Women. Senator Jcuics of Washington, au ardent advocate of female suffrage, introduced a bill receutly naming part of the enpitol grounds "the Parthenon" and setting it aside for monuments to the achievements of women. Mr. .Tones' measure specifies that the tract in frout of the Union station be called "the Acropolis," and there is do 'provision prohibiting its use by mere man. The tract nearer the eauitol is reserved to women. "I am not much of a classical scholar," said Mr. Jones, "but I selected these ancient names in gratitude to the Greek poet Euripides, whose piny. The Medea,' contains perhaps the earliest plea for woman suffrage. You probably recall the chorus, which has been translated something like this: "Backward turns the wave on the ever running river. Lu, life Is changed and the laws of It o'er trod. Man shall be the slave, the affrighted, the low liver. Man hath forgotten Ood. "And woman, yea, woman, shall be terrible in story. The tales whereof one telleth shall be other than of yore. For a fear there is that comoth out of woman and a glory. And the hard hating voices shall encompass her no more."

over sewer inlets when the streets are Hushed, to prevent the sewers becoming choked, and to have a day patrol on the principal streets to gather up refuse. The only bid on flooring for the first bridge in Glen Miller park, $220, submitted by Isaac Smith, was rejected because it was above the estimate. The board ordered the street commissioner to increase the water pressure at all sanitary drinking fountains.

ADVERTISERS OF FACTS

Speculation.

Tho leader in this game provides two

packs of cards, one of which is dealt one by one to the company till all the pack is dealt. The other pack he keeps in his hand, drawing one card from It at random, which he conceals in his pocket. The players, being each further provided with a saucer containing fifty beans, the leader rings a small bell and calls out, "Speculate!" Then for a time there is confusion, the players circulating around the room, offering beans In exchange for certain cards which the neighbors display. Each wishes to hold the duplicate of the card concealed by the leader, though no one knows which it is. At a second ringing of the bell the players are again seated, while the leader, turning up one card from the pack in his hand, calls out Its name. Whoever holds the duplicate must go forward and lay it upon a table provided for the purpose. After half a dozen or more of the cards have been thus collected the signal to speculate is again given. Of course the Interest Increases as the number of cards held by the players diminishes, and sometimes a player will give his last bean for a card which may be called in at the next ringing of the bell. After repeated speculations and callings in only one card remains the duplicate of the one concealed In the pocket of the leader. The fortunate bolder of this wins a prize, as .also does the possessor of the Ere0- ynmber of beans.
