TRACTION HEADS PROMISE LINES BEFORHUTH rAppel and Jeffries Agree to Push Proposed Extensions If Council Suspends Conductor Ordinance. 'Jeffries Claims Measure Requiring Extra Man on Fairview Cars Violates Board's Previous Agreement. The South Eighth street car line is to be extended from H street through Beallview to N street, the line to be ready for service by fall, and work is to start immediately extending a car line along North Nineteenth street, fromjfl street to Morton park. Po;ve assurance of these improvements' was given yesterday afternoon by Vl;e President Appel and General Supjfjitendent' Jeffries of the Terre Hatful Indianapolis & Eastern Traction company to Mayor Robbins, the members of the board of public work and representatives of the South Side Improvement association at a meeting held at the city building. In consideration of the company's promise of line extension work this summer, improvements which will cost a considerable amount, and at the request of the company officials, the ordinance pending in council compelling the company to place conductors on its Fairview and Richmond avenue cars is not to be pushed. Members of the council ordinance committee agreed to this. Bill Violates Promise. Mr. Jeffries at the meeting yesterday stated that when the company first agreed to the two line extensions City officials promised that no public Improvements or regulation which would entail additional expense to the company were contemplated for this year, but that within a few days after this assurance had been given by members of the board of public works the ordinance requiring conductors on west side cars was introduced. It was because of this ordinance, Mr. Jeffries said, that work on the two extensions had been delayed. He also frankly stated that If the ordinance became effective the extensions would sot be made, because the ordinance would add $1,700 a year to the company's operating expenses. City officials then agreed to drop the measure, providing definite assurance of line extension work this summer was given. Open Large District. The two new lines will will open up two large sections of the city. The development of Beallview haa, always been held back because itjnad no jtreet. car service. '"The extension of the South Eighth street line six blocks further south is expected to make Beallview one of the most popular residential and factory districts. Manufacturers in that section of Richmond were delighted when informed that they would have a car line before winter. The Morton park addition," laid out with the end in view of making it one of the most popular residential sections, is expected to have a big boom dow that it is to have a Btreet car line. A $33,000 sewer system in that addition, which will serve all the northeastern section of the city, is being constructed, and it will be completely surrounded by one of the finest boulevards in the state.. This work Is now being rapidly pushed to completion. City officials feel if the Street Car company can be induced to place a line on South E street to open up the southeastern section of Richmond, within the next two or three years, the city will have one of the best street car systems of any community its size In the country.

SUCCESS ASSURED FOR CHAUTAUQUA

AT E CITY Capacity Crowds Hear Lecturer Expound Social Center Idea as Factor in Town Development. CAMBRIDGE CITY, July 7. It became apparent to the board managing the Chautauqua that the venture this year would be a success when the seating capacity of the auditorium tent was taxed to capacity Sunday to accommodate the crowd that came to hear the program., Following a musical program by the Price Concert company, William Lloyd Davis spoke on Kipling. The unpopularity of Kipling in England was attributed to his criticism of the British nobility and showed the weakness of the government in its administration .of affairs. Some of the more important works of the author were discussed. The Rev. W. M. Hollopeter had charge of a short vesper service preceding the evening program. Miss Blanche Boyde and Miss Gaynelle Hageman, accompanist, sang "Abide With Me." The Price Concert company sang a number of classical and popular selections. A number of national airs brought to a close this part of the program. "Community Housekeeping" permitted Lloyd Davis to present the problems which collectively and individually confront a community. He insisted that the social center idea, which brings together persons of all classes, is an important factor in community development. He advocated an economic and religious survey of every city. Dr. George R. Brainerd delivered a Panama stereopticon lecture in which he showed how the two great oceans were linked by the big canal. His pictures showed the gradual completion of the big engineering work. A number of slides showed what the PanamaPacific exposition at San Francisco will look like. CHURCH TO REPLACE PRISON FOR DRUNKS Robbins Accepts Society's Plan if Men Are Not Made Outcasts. Mayor Robbins is willing to consider the plan -suggested-- to hrm 'by 'the Christian Endeavor society of the Second Presbyterian church of sentencing men arrested for intoxication to six Sunday church services instead of to jail, but he wants to know if this plan contemplates more than long sermons filled with advice to the wrongdoer as to how to mend his ways. Last night he mailed a letter to H. Darrel Thomas, president of the C. E. society of the Second Presbyterian church, requesting a conference with representatives of the society on the plan proposed by them. 'I realize that in nine cases out of ten sending a man to jail because he gets drunk is of no benefit," said the mayor, "and I also realize that sending to church a man who has been arrested for intoxication provides no remedy in nine cases out of ten, if nothing more than religion and good advice is- to be preached to him. Of course, that is all right, but a whole lot more things must be done if the reformation of such men is to be accomplished. Sermons Not Enough. "At this conference I have suggested to Mr. Thomas I want to find out if I sentence a man to attend church whether he is to be treated as an outcast and regarded as a 'horrible example.' I want to know if the church workers are prepared to do something more than telling these men what they should and should not do. I want to know if they will be received into full fellowship by the congregation; if they need work, whether work will be provided for them, and if a kindly interest will be taken in their welfare by church members not only on Sundays but every day in the week. Such things are what count when you are trying to reform a man. "If such interest and aid is to be given these men, I would be more than willing to turn them over to church people than to the sheriff. Some men would not be touched by a thousand sermons delivered by the most eloquent preachers, but they would instantly respond to the helping hand, kind words and a genuine interest in their welfare. That is true Christianity." 'S MAY MEETJN CITY S. E. Nicholson Presents Plan to Friends on Executive Committee. Every indication seems to point favorably towards the holding of a national men's conference of the Quaker church, according to S. Edgar Nicholson, editor of the American Friends and promoter of the conference idea. Mr. Nicholson has presented the idea for consideration by members of the executive committee of the Five Years' meeting. Allen D. Hole, of this city, is chairmsta, wfflle Mr. Nicholson and Mssident Kelly are two of the members. Other members are scattered broadcast over the country. "I am uncertain as to whether or not the proposed conference could be held in Richmond," Mr. Nicholson said. "But I believe we will be able to call such a conference somewhere during the winter or . early in the spring. The purpose of the national men's meeting is to interest men in the Questions of the church."

PREACHERS FIGHT THREATENING FIRE Extinguish Blaze Threatening to Destroy Raper Home, South of Wernle Five ministers turned firefighters at noon today, and with the assistance of Wernle Orphans' Home boys, saved from destruction the home of Leslie E. Raper, a farmer living one-half mile north of the orphanage on the Wernle road. When Raper telephoned to the Rev. Mr. Specht, superintendent of the Orphans' Home, that fire in the milkhouse . was threatening to spread to his home, he and the Revs. L. M. Baum and Walter Tressel of Dayton, S. Schillinger of West Alexandria, and A. J. Feeger, pastor of St. John's Lutheran church, this city, made a rush for an automobile standing in front of the orphanage. Three fire extinguishers were snatched from the walls of the orphanage, and with a half-dozen boys to assist the ministerial firefighters, the automobile made a mad rush down the hill to the Raper farm. The preachers found the milkhouse ablaze and tongues of flame spreading to the engine house in which Raper had stored several tanks of gasoline. After a hard fight they succeeded in keeping the flames from attacking the gasoline. Had the fire spread to this building, the house would have been destroyed. . After the preachers had extinguished the fire and received . the assurance of Raper that he believed the fire was out, the ministerial fire department entered the auto and returned to the orphange where an interrupted meeting of the Wernle board of control was resumed.

GOODWIN CAN'T SEE "SEPTEMBER MORN Police Chief Blushes at Carnival, Then Orders Feature Discontinued. "September Morn" may be high art, but not in Richmond. Or, at least, Chief Goodwin did not consider the "September Morn" in- real life he saw at a carnival show last night to be art in any sense of the word. He considered the posing of this famous painting by a young woman in very abbreviated attire to be decidedly risque and not tending to uplift the moral tone of the community. -"September Morn" was put'oafTfoK lowing exhibitions of a dance which is supposed to be the favorite pastime of the Sultan of Turkey. These dances were witnessed by the chief with great composure, but when "September Morn" was put on he blushed furiously, eye-witnesses say, and hurried at once to the manager of the show. "I think about one exhibition of September Morn is all we care for in Richmond," said the chief. "In fact, if another is attempted some one is going, to take a ride in the police automobile." RAT LAW OF RATT OBEYEDJ WAYNE Trustee Howarth Says the Schools Have Charts Showing Dangers of Rat "It is cheaper to obey the law than to evade it," is the bit of philosophy which a school supply company sends out accompanying a newspaper article of June 24, containing an account of the prosecution of Manford Burk, trustee of Decatur township, Marion county for failing to comply with the Ratt rat law. James Howarth, township trustee, received a notice of this kind today. Similar notices were sent to about 1,000 other township trustees of the state. Continuing, the notice instructs toe trustees to immediately communicate with his supply house for additional charts and other material necessary to comply with the law. Mr. Howarth says he has no fear of the law, as Wayne township schools are well equipped with charts of all kinds. The dissemination of disease by rats, the dire effects of nicotitne, the disastrous results of. alcohol and other effects are shown the school children by chart in the Wayne township school houses. The trustee stated today that he will investigate and if there are better charts and more complete instructions than he is using in the schools, he will take up the matter of purchasing them and carrying out the law to its fullest extent. SCRAPS JVITH ROCK Swanson Resents Rival Lover's Success. That William Smith, colored, was alive today -to testify against' Rufus Swanson, colored, who smote him in the jaw with a large boulder, was a mystery to those who saw, the man in city court this morning. Smith's jaw waATlollen twice its normal size and he had to be brought to court in an automobile. The trouble was over a woman, Georgia Crittenden, and was the climax of a South Sixth street dance last night. In Cincinnati Swanson had kept company with this woman. When she came to Richmond she transferred her affections to Smith. Last night she went with Smith to a dance and when 'they left the building Swanson stepped! u pto him and while only three feet Jaway hurled a rock squarely, in his face, knocking him out. Swanson was fined $25 and costs.

Another American heiress married into European nobility, when Miss Laura McDonald Stallo, of Cincinnati, O., and New York, was wedded to Prince Don Rospigllosi, son of Prince and Princess Don Camillo Rospigliosi. The couple were married in the St. Joseph's Roman Catholic church at Paris. Miss Stallo had renounced the Protestant religion and had embraced the Roman Catholic faith before the marriage took place.

INVESTIGATES LINES Chicago Man Interested in Proposed Route North From City. Eugene Purtelee, a Chicago traction promoter, will be in Richmond this week to investigate the possibilities of a traction line north and south through this county. He will be taken by the committee of the Commercial club members over the preliminary survey made north to Union City with the hope of building the line with outside capital. Announcement of Purtelle's visit was made by Charles Jordan at the meeting of the board of directors of the Commercial club last night. Purtelle has been investigating the Wayne county situation for the last six weeks by correspondence, and has become so interested that he desires a personal investigation. The Commercial club will show Purtelle every detail concerning the proposed line, as no chance to secure north and south traction service will be overlooked. The old survey, made some time ago, would connect Richmond with the northern string of towns, which are now almost inaccessible, and, it is believed, would benefit the farmers and the city. Purtelle was recently an important witness in an investigation made by Illinois courts in which his name was sent over the entire country. He is said to be a prominent financier. In his correspondence with the Commercial club he says he can organize and maintain a traction company. OTHERS m FINLY Connersville Republican Describes Congressman. The Connersville Republican, commenting in a news article on the press agent material sent out from Washington by Clyde H. Tavenner, congressman from the Fourth Illinois district, regarding Finly Gray, in which the Sixth district representative is boosted to the skies, adds a few adjectives which Tavenner overlooked. The article goes on to say: "Gray might have been called a George Washington for honesty, a Patrick Henry for eloquence, a John Marshall for legal learning, a Benjamin Franklin for philosophy, an Abraham Lincoln for patience and patriotism, a John Sherman for financial ability, a Woodrow Wilson for watchful waiting, an Apollo Belvidere for beauty, and a good many other things which he is not. "But to get the real size and measure of the man, ask anybody over about Connersville, where they really know him, or ask Mrs. Jessie Wilson-Sayre or Mrs. Eleanor Wilson-McAdoo. They have heard of Finly." BOY STRIKES TREE Wilmer , Babylon Thrown From Bicycle.

WANT POWER RATv ; ADJUSTMENT . MADE i ' ' ' ' Small Consumers v Protest Bond's New Schedule; Favors Large Electric Users. Richmond manufacturers are satisfied that they are' securing low electric power rates. But; since, the publication of the new. schedule of rates proposed by City Attoreny Bond, the complaint has been made that the charges for power current are not equitable. ' The large consumer would pay only one and one-fourth cents a kilowat while the small consumer would pay three cents or 140 per cent more for the same amount of current. The small consumer is satisfied that the rates are low enough, according to the expression of directors of the commercial club last night, but "the fact that such a difference exists between the price of electricity to the man that uses much and the man that uses in smaller quantities has created a sentiment for an adjustment of the proposed rates before the matter is made fnal. The strength of the sentiment is not known, but the matter was turned over to the public service committee of the club to discuss with the members of the board of works and City Attorney Bond.

WOMEN' GIVE IDEAS ON MARKET ISSUES McKinley Asks for Opinions for Improving Service to City Housewives. To adjust the differences evidently existing between markets and the people who sell produce on market, George McKinley, marketmaster, asked each of the women at the booths in the east end market to write a paper on how they believed a market should be run. Most of the selling in the Seventeenth street market place is done by women. Today when the matter was brought up to them they agreed to furnish the marketmaster with their ideas on the subject. Of late there has been much complaint. Last year, and possibly the year before, many of the farmers selling in market left at 6:30 to set up booths in the Sixth street market. Because market was clear by 6:30 o'clock many women buyers of the east lend ceased, coming to the- grounds. - The situation as it now stands can be easily adjusted, Mr. McKinley believes. By 5 o'clock in the morning there are wagons offering goods for sale, and by 6:30 o'clock part of the hucksters and farmers have gone. The farmers believe the women will not buy after 6:30 o'.clbck, and the women who desire to purchase after that time believe the farmers will not remain in market later. The east end market became more popular than the Sixth street market until last year, when it began to lose trade. This year, while the sales are large, the market is far smaller than it was two years ago. Market was formerly held until 8:30 o'clock. It is probable that farmers will be asked to come not later than 5:30 or 6 o'clock, and leave not earlier than 8 o'clock. Mr. McKinley has attended the market twice a week for some time in order to investigate conditions. COMMERCIAL CLUB BACKSJARK MOVE Directors Appoint Committee to Help Obtain Riverside Site for City.

The committee is composed of John V. McCarthy, Prof. J. F. Thompson, Clayton Hunt, H. L. Monarch, John H. Johnson, George Von Carleson, Joseph Hill, Dr. D. W. Stevenson and H. S. Weed. Ed Iliff, John Fosler and other men prominent in the park agitation, asked the Comemrcial club for some expression, and, if favorable, for the appointments of a committee to assist in planning the banishment of the riverside dump. The committee will meet with the west-siders at the next meeting to be held in a few days. It wyi act as an advisory board to the citizens of the informal organization which has the park matter in hand. HANGS lyiS- CELL Richmond Boy Takes Life at Union City.

"I will quite probably file a verdict that the automobile wreck last Friday night, which resulted. in the death of Miss Ada Kelly and , Miss Imogene Smith, was due to the inexperience of the driver of the car, George . Bayer. There has been considerable unjust criticism of Bayer, in my opinion. He was driving as hundreds of other automobilists frequently do and the three young men who were in the car with him have testified that they were not alarmed at the rate of speed the car was traveling. "All of them testified that Bayer was not under the influence of intoxicants, as did Dr. J. A. Conkey, who stated he saw Bayer several times at the dance and did not once notice, he had been drinking. Bayer's great mistake was that of the inexperienced driver, turning to the right of the road too abruptly after passing the Murray car at its left. That started his car to skidding. Had he turned to the right of the road gradually the accident probably never would have happened." Completes Examination. Coroner Pierce has secured the testimony of all the important witnesses of the accident except that of Bayer and K). G. Murray, and Miss Grace Kelly, whom he probably will not question. Frank Wissler testified in his opinion the Bayer machine was going about 35 miles an hour when the accident happened. Don Milligan, an experienced automobile man. ' and Clarence Jackson both testified that they believed", the Bayer car was going about 25 miles an hour when it began to skid. On the other hand, Bayer has told newspaper men that the machine was going about 40 miles an hour when it passed the Murray machine. Miss Grace ' Kelly, one of the vicj tims of the accident, was today re- : moved from the hospital and taken to her home. She is considerably improved and her physician says she will suffer no ill results from the accident. All of the injured have now been removed from the hospital. .

' .

"I call at- -tention to a terible. accident a few ' days ago. The driver of the car had been- warned against fast driving, said .Weishaupt. Mayor Robbins remarked that II , stringent methods were employed to prevent speeding the. police would ba accused of "teasing." He referred to an editorial in an afternoon newspaper following recent arrests for fast . driving, which accused that motorists had been "teased" into violating the law by the police machine. Weishaupt remarked no matter what charges , were made the. police should make Richmond a very uncomfortable place for people afflicted with speed mania. Want Speeding Stopped. .The discussion of the question was finally brought to a close by the adop-. tion of a resolution that it was the sense of council that the "speed laws be Inforced to the letter," offered by Councilman Howells. The much discussed market question was brought to council's attention last night by the introduction of an ordinance amending the market ordinance, providing a charge of 10 cents on week days and 25 cents on Saturdays for itinerant gardeners who have no leased stant . This ordinance met with disfavor and was tabled so , the rates for itinerants stand at 50 cents for week days and 75 cents on Saturdays. - Conncilman Walterman, market-. master in 1909, landed the knockout blow. He said that that Tear-the Itinerant rates did not prevent large numbers of such class of gardeners attending the market and at that time it was self supporting. He declared that to reduce these rates would be a discrimination against the gardeners who leased stands at the market house as it would provide unfair competition. Councilman Howells " remarked that if the ordinance in question was necessary it should have been passed before the market stands were leased. Bond-Urges Ordinance. City Attorney Bond urged the passage of the ordinance which he said would have a tendency to bring more produce venders to the market. That was the real need of .the market in his opinion and he asserted that it (Continued on Last Page) DIRECTORS OF CLUB FAVOR CHARITY PUN Commercial Members.
