CITIZENS FORMULATE PLAH to pro rate !IEW LIGHTSYSTEM Business Men Start Movement for Boulevard Lamps on Main Instead of Board's Choice.

, An agitation to install a system ot boulevard lights on Main Btreet under the same plan that other public improvements are made, has been started by a number of prominent business men In the city and will probably recult in definite action being taken "within the next few days in recommending to the board of works that jthis plan be- pursued rather than the Jlan the board is now considering. The new plan that has been proposed by a number of merchants of the city is practically the same that was worked out by the Young Men's Business club several years ago but failed When it was brought to the board of i"works for final action. It consists chiefly of installing a1 system of uniform lighting by the process now employed in other public improvements tof thecity, that is by petition to the toardof works. City Pays Upkeep, i After the lights have been petitioned for, the board would oversee the fconst'uction of the posts, etc., which would be paid for by the property towners, the cost being pro rated according to the foot frontage. After the lights have been installed the city Svould then have the cost of maintenance. The board of works has called for fcids on specifications drawn up several weeks ago which will change the bresent system of lighting on Main btreet by having the lights suspended ton poles at the corners and on brackets on the trolley poles. Considerable opposition has been raised fogainst this plan by a number of citizens in that the lighting will be irregular. A number of citizens are anxious to ftiave installed here the same system that is being used in Anderson, which Vas Installed under the plan of public improvement petition. A date was set for the hearing of remonstrances and practically no objection was raised to he plan.

DIPHTHERIA SCARE NEAR FOUNTAIN CITY Three Cases Under Quarantine Cause Little Alarm to Health Authorities. There are only three cases of contagious disease in the county outside of Richmond, according to County Health Officer Krueger. These are three cases of diphtheria, all of which ere in one home, near Fountain City. The health conditions in the county are exceptionally good for this time of the year, according to the county health officer. A considerable diphtheria scare was thrown in the community west of Fountain City due to these three cases, but the physician in charge of the cases reported to the county health officer this morning that the situation Is under control and while several families have been exposed he believes no further cases will result.

CALLS MONEY KING NEW CAPTAIN KIDD

WILLIAM ROCKEFELLER. Pourke Cockran, the attorney in a fcuit against William Rockefeller and the directors of the Brooklyn Union Gas Company, called Mr. Rockefeller and his associates "Financial Captain Kidds."

DECISION OPPOSES

IIICRERSyF RATES

Interstate Commerce Com

mission Expected to Refuse Request of Roads. WASHINGTON. July 20. Prevail

ing opinion at the interstate commerce commission headquarters today upheld the theory that the decision in the

advance rate case would be against the general increase of five per cent

in rreight rates asked for by the eastern railroads, but that increases of varying degrees would be granted on certain classes of freight. The general belief is that the commission will uphold the contention of Louis R. Brandeis that the railroads should seek to render free service to the large shipper such as the spotting of cars and that thereby the roads would be enabled to collect some $65,000,000 a year which now is saved by the larger shippers throughout the country. Members of the commission today were putting the finishing touches on the decision. There was no evidence as to when it would be made public. They stated unofficially, however, that a day's notice probably would be given when the decision would be ready and until that time no word of the findings would be allowed to come

before the eyes of clerks and others. Reports claiming to give the findings of the commission' in advance of the official decision were declared to be mere guesswork.

FRY IS OPTIMISTIC Progressive Leader Gives Out Interview.-

An Indianapolis newspaper prints an interview with Roy C. Fry of Richmond, secretary of the Wayne county Progressive " central committee, in which he declares business conditions in Richmond are satisfactory and predicts the election of Albert J. Beverldge to the United States senate. Mr. Fry is quoted as saying: .: "Albert J. Beveridge is the man of the hour," he said, "and I am confident he will be elected to the senate

bv a large majority. The direct vote

of the people in the senatorial election is going to be a big factor toward securing the toga for Beveridge. He is the people's man, and they are going to vote for him regardless of party af-

The battlesTiip is the Mississipp, just sold to Greece with the Idaho. 1 Turkey apparently is preparing to attack Greece and re-ctpaure the possessions taken from her at the close of the last Balkan war. Mindful of the feats of the Americans, Bucknam Pasha, in the Hamadieh, Bhe is depending largely on her new navy. Three dreadnaughts are being rushed to completion in England, besides several smaller vessels. Alarmed at the prospect, Greece is fortifying herself by paying a little over twelve million dollars to the United States for the battleships Ida ho and Mississippi, which will be rushed to Levant. Talaat Bey, the Turkish minister of the Interior, is making efforts to avert the threatened hostilities. He is backing the Pacific moves of the powers and of Roumania and Servia. He has proceeded to the seat of the trouble in Asia Minor, where the Turks have expelled 150,000 Greeks and threatened to serve the rest likewise. There are 2,500,000 Greeks still in Turkish territory and they are, most of them, more ancient inhabitants than the Turks. The young Turk party is determined that the Greek element shall be eliminated because it proved such a source of weakness when Turkey met the Balkan allies.

IMELSEY TO ERECT MODERNHOME BLOCK Property Owners Bear Entire Expense of Improvement in Reeveston. Mather B. Kelsey was today awarded the contract for the construction of Richmond's socaiied "model residential block" in the Reeveston addition on South Seventeenth street from B street to Reeveston road. Property owners have agreed to meet the entire expense of the improvements, which includes boulevard parkways in the center of the road, cement roadway, curbs, gutter and sidewalks, conduits for wire, and four ornamental posts for cluster lights in the parkways. Kelsey's bid for these improvements was $7,920. His closest competitor was the firm of Trippeer and Son, which bid $8,075. Other bidders were Cronin and Meredith, W. R. Payne and J. F. Hipskind. Cronin and Meredith received the contract for the paving of North street from D street to the railroad, and Neil street from North Sixth street to Fort

Wayne avenue. This is one of the most heavily traveled routes in the city, being a short cut from the wholesale and factory districts to the two freight stations. Cronin and Meredith's bid was $4,855. Kelsey's bid, $4,892, was next. The other bidds were Hipskin and Trippeer. and Son. Neff street and the section of North Sixth street are to be paved with Peeble's block brick. The board of public works today or

dered the city engineer to investigate the desirability of placing additional sewer inlets on North E street, Fort Wayne avenue, North Eleventh street, and in an alley between South Tenth and Eleventh streets from C to E street. A petition presented by Edgar Norris to construct under private contract a cement sidewalk 14x44 feet at the corner of North Tenth and H streets was approved by the board.

Skin, to be healthy, must breathe. It also must perspire must expel, through the pores, its share of the body's waste material. Creams and powders clog the pores, interfering both with elimination and breathing.

especially during the heated period. If more women understood this, there would be fewer self-ruined complexions. If they would use ordinary raercolized wax instead of cosmetics, they would have natural, healthy complexions. This remarkable substance actually absorbs a bad skin, also unclogging the pores. Result: The fresher, younger under-skin is permitted to breathe and to show itself. Ap exquisite new complexion gradually peeps out, one free from any appearance of artificiality. Get an ounce of mercolized wax at your druggist's and try it. Apply nightly like cold cream, for a week or so, washing it off mornings. To eradicate wjjnkles, here's a njarvelously effective treatment which also acts naturally and harmlessly: Disolve 1 oz. powdered saxolite in pt. witch hazel and use as a wash lotion.

This week will be marked by unusual activity of Commercial club committees. Many committee chairmen have returned from their vacations anxious to take up the work which has not progressed during their absence. Committees on public improvements, public health, insurance and others will take up important business. Definite days for the sessions have not been announced. The meetings will be called by the chairmen.

CITY WILL SUPPORT PUBLIC PLAY LOTS

Mayor Robbins today assured Secretary Jordan of the city board of education that he thought it would be possible to provide an appropriation in the 1915 city budget to meet the ex

pense of employing supervisors for

the children's playgrounds and for providing what additional equipment

is necessary.

Under the state law the civil city

has to meet such expenses, but by per

mission of the state board of accounts the school city this year met this expense out of its own funds, because the city had no funds available for such purooses. Next year the school city will not be permitted to shoulder this expense.
