THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TISLEGKAM, SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 1914

PAIR VIEW WILL ASK COUNTY BOARD FOR NEV CEMENT ROAO Improvement Body Votes to Circulate Petitions for . Highway Under Gravel Road Law. If the petition which is being prepared by the property owners of Fairview, to bo presented to the county sommlssioners, is approved, Fairview will have over two and a half mile3 of the best improved streets in the city. It was the unanimous opinion of the members of the Fairview Improvement association, which held its meeting last evening in the Sevastopol school house, that a petition should be presented to the county commissioners asking for the construction of a street in Fairview under the three-mile-road law. Reinforced concrete was favored as the best material to use, consequently this method of improvemeut will be specified in, the petition, which is to be circulated within the next few days. At the last meeting of the Fairview Improvement association a committee was appointed to investigate the proposed improvement. This committee outlined a route for a roadway in its report, which was accepted. Outlines Routes. Streets which need improvement the most have been included in the route, although more work will have to be done on some of the streets than on others. The route proposed in the petition is as follows: Beginning at West Fifth and Center streets, east on Senter street to Second, Second street to Charles, west on Charles to Hunt, north on Hunt to Linden avenue, west on Linden avenue to West Fifth, north on West Fifth street to School street, east on School street to Sheridan, south on Sheridan to Doran bridge. The committee which made this report was composed of J. P. Evans, D. N. Davis, Benjamin Wickett, Ora Little and Harry Ireton. All but three of twenty-five persons present favored the construction of a concrete roadway in preference to brick or macadam. It was brought out that concrete was cheaper than brick and much more durable than macadam. The question of widening some of the streets was also discussed. Fnmk Brown, president of the asso- ' - stated that Sheridan street is v that a large wagon has to : on the sidewalk to pass a i: He recommended that this ; ..t ii le widened at least two feet on tach side of the car tracks. This matter will be taken up with the city officials after the petition is presented to the county commissioners. The motion to include in the petition, "to be constructed of reinforced concrete" was made by B. C. Wickett. To Circulate Petition. The petition will be circulated immediately, according to Frank Brown. He said there would be no trouble in getting signers for the roads in Fairview are in poor condition, and it is time something is being done for them. Whether or not, the commissioners will take favorable action on the petition is a matter of speculation. All of the com m iHsioners have made the statement that they are opposed to any more country road improvement until some of the present indebtedness due to road built under the three-mile-road law is paid. Residents of Fairview contend that the people of Richmond are entitled to a larger share in the benefits of new road construction under the three-mile-road law since the eerpor.iti :n pays so much tax into this fund, which would be applied directly to the city if the commissioners would allow a road to be built in the city under this law.

BANK OF ENGLAND ADVANCES DISCOUNT Increases Rate to 10 Per Cent to Check Further Movement of Gold. LONDON, Aug. 1. Evidences of the critical financial situation here were shown today when the Bank of England advanced its discount rate to 10 per cent in an effort to check any further outward movement of gold. The Bank of England opened at the regular hour today, and the run by noteholders continued, but many of the institutions in which the working class have deposited their savings, did not open. Instead they posted huge notices on their doors giving as the reason for their action the fact that this drastic step was taken to save the bank. It was pointed out in these statements that owing to the serious financial condition the depreciation of all securities and the shortage of gold the bank did not wish to take a chance of suffering a run, which It could not meet at this time.

BOBBINS OUTLINES ITEMS OF BUDGET FOR COMING YEAR Of Many Needed Improvements, New Crematory and Additional Streets Get First Consideration. Mayor Robblns today has a consultation with City Controller McMahan in regard to beginning work on the crafting of the 1915 city budget, which must be adopted in the form of an ordinance by the city council next month. Every department chief will, as usual, be called upon to submit estimates for departmental expenses next year, and as usual each one will ask for more than he knows he will get. It Is planned to make the 1915 budget ordinance much more comprehensive and detailed than has been the practice In the past. It will be expressly set forth just what each appropriation will be used for, and It will be much easier to make an accurate estimate of the various city expenses this time than ever before because of the daily report system inaugurated by the board of public works when the new administration assumed office. Income About Same. President Bavis of the board today estimated that the city's revenue next year would only be about $7,600 more than this year but he called attention to the fact that next year the city must pay for all the water it uses, wnich expense the city had to assume the first of last July. It is estimated that the city's 1915 water bill will be at least $6,000, so, as a matter of fact the city will have but little larger income next year than in 1914. There are numorous and badly needed public improvements the administration would like to provide for next year, which should have been provided for years ago, in many instances, but only a few ot them can be undertaken unless the tax rate is increased or a bond issue floated, both of which plans are objectionable to the administration. Looming boldly in the list of most badly needed improvements are: Comprehensive program for the permanent improvement of the principal macadamized streets. A new crematory. The reconstruction of the storm sewer system. Motor ladder truck for the fire department. But the administration will regard it a satisfactory achievement if sections of only two or three streets are paved and permanent relief provided in a limited number of districts where more adequate storm sewer systems are most badly needed. Chief Miller of the fire department is insistent in his demands for an auto ladder truck, but there is small chance, it is believed, of his demand being heeded. Get New Crematory. The demand of the health department for an adequate garbage dispo sal plant will very probably be acceded to. As a matter of fact this improvement is imperative. The present crematory is not only so small that it can handle only half of the garbage and trash, but it is also out of operation a good part of the time because of accidents. The health department may also ask for an automobile ambulance but the mayor and board of works members will probably refuse to make an appropriation for such purposes. The police department would like to have an automobile patrol and an increase in the size of the force by at least two detectives and another automobile chauffeur. It stands a slim chance of getting what it wants.

CHRISTIAN CHURCHES HOLD COUNTY PICNIC About two hundred members of the Central and First Christian churches of the city will leave in automobiles and on the 10:30 o'clock special interurban car for the annual county basket dinner at Jackson park tomorrow. They will arrive in time for the union cofcmunion service, at which the Rev. L. E. Murray will speak. The Rev. L. C.

Special music will be furnished by the Central Christian orchestra. About five hundred persons are expected from the Christian churches of the county. SENTENCES GIBSON Judge Fox Sends Boy to Plainfield. Because his parents stated before Judge Fox in juvenile court this morning that they intended moving to Lewisburg, X, Lawrence Garwood, who had been charged with stealing watches, pens and other articles from the Boston Store, besides several other petty thefts, was released this morning. Howard Gibson, the other 12-year-old boy, who was before Judge Fox this morning was not so fortunate, and as a result of his thefts, he will be sent to the Boys' School at Plainfield. Gibson was accused of stealing brass from engines in the Pennsylvania railroad yards and was recently caught trying to enter a house on Easthaven avenue with the purpose of stealing clothing, as he later confessed.

HALF-WITTED CAUSES OF WARJECLIPSE Two Fanatics Who Killed Austrian Royalty Still Awaiting Trial for Double Assassination.

LONDON, Aug. 1. While Europe la on the verge of a European war that may cost millions of lives and financial losses running into billions, the two half-witted causes of it, Gavrie Prinzlp, a Servian student, and Nedlejo Gabrinovics, a Servian printer, lay in the prison in Sarajevo, Bosnia, almost forgotten. It was Gabrinovics who hurled the bomb at the carriage containing the Archduke Francis Ferdinand on June 29, and It was the bullet of Frlnzip that brought death to the royal couple as they rode through the street of Sarajevo. Both men are awaiting trial for their share in the assassination. Both men have protested that the killing of Austria's heir were acts of individuals and that they were In no way dictated by any Servian political society. When word reached both anarchists in prison that a general war in Europe may be the outcome of their act, they seemed pleased. COUNTY TAX RATE TO REMAIN SAME "The assessment of Wayne county will stand," said County Auditor Bowman this morning after attending a meeting of the state board of tax assessment. The figures on the assessment of Wayne county property were presented to the board by the county auditor and County Assessor Matthews with the result that Wayne county was complimented by members of the board for the excellent showing made in the last assessment. The gain made in the assessment of property in Wayne county was much above the average gain of the other counties in the state. An increase of $728,010 was made in the 1914 assessment compared with that of the past year. The average gain for each year during the past year is $583,351. Most of the increase was made in corporations and in real estate assessments. REID 5BJEARS OLD Former Richmond Man Born in 1858.

She also asks the custody of her son, Ware Miller. They were married in April, 1910, and since that time, the plaintiff alleges that her husband has frequently made attempts to kill her. Several times he placed a razor under his pillow with the stated intention of cutting her throat, according to her complaint. KANSAS ALFALFA SETS HIGH MARK Because of the immense alfalfa crop in Kansas, letters are being sent to the various county officials in Indiana asking them to give publicity to the fact so farmers in this state, where the alfalfa crop Is not so good, can have an opportunity to buy. This morning a letter was received by the county clerk from J. H. Miller, ot the Kansas State Agricultural college at Manhattan, Kan. stating that the yield of alfalfa in that state this year would exceed 1,000,000 tons. According to the letter, there will be thousands of carloads sent east. DINNER PARTY Beautiful In all of its appointments was the pretty dinner given Friday evening by Mr. and Mrs. John G.

ROOSEVELT DENIES FUSIOIITO G, 0, ft Progressives Appeal to Voters of Parties in Fight on Bossism.

OYSTER, Bay, Aug. 1. Col. Theodore Roosevelt today disclaimed any idea of building up a reunited Progressive-Republican party for the presidential campaign In 1916. "The Progressives are appealing to the voters of the Republican and other parties who want to see the bosses downed," he said. "We are not seeking fusion anywhere for the mere sake of winning an election. We realize that the boss issue to the one dominant factor this year in many of the states. Whenever it Is possible we shall join the Republicans or any other party in those states , that make war on the bosses." He said that Progressives were not thinking now o. the presidential election. There will be time enough for that after the fall election. UNABLE TO DRIVE BOY WRECKS CAR An automobile belonging to George B. Hunt was considerably damaged when a young man employed at a North Seventh street garage took a midnight trip In the car to see whether he could operate it He found he could not, it being his first attempt, so disaster came to the car. After guiding it south on Seventh street the boy turned the car east on South B street, bringing it to an adrupt stop when he collided with the South Tenth Street park curbing. There were no lights on the car, and he could not see that the street ended at the parkway. People living in the vicinity were aroused by the smash and the boy's agonized cries, "Oh, why did I do it? "Oh, why did I do it?" With assistance he was able to get the battered car back to the garage. M'CORMACK REFUSES PASTORATE IN CITY Rev. W. L. McCormack of Cambridge, O., has declined the call to the pastorate of the First Presbyterian church of this city to take the place of the Rev. Thomas Graham who has taken charge of the Presbyterian church at Fargo, N. D. No reason for the Rev. Mr. McCormack's action has been learned. When he came here to preach several weeks ago he informed the congregation and the committee that he was not an applicant for the position, but his work was of such a high order that the call was issued nevertheless. After he had considered it for three weeks he sent work of his refusal today. ASKS LIGHT IDEAS Upon recommendation of the board of public works the Commercial club is mailing queries on the lighting system to the business men instead of circulating petitions. This method it was pointed out prevents the person answering the question from being influenced by the person carrying the petition. The cards give the information that bracket lights on trolley poles will cost approximately twenty-four cents per lineal foot while the standard type will cost fifty-four cents per lineal foot, not including lamps. The result of this poll will be presented to the board of words.

Not more than fifty per cent is to be paid by the time the first car is run over the track. A similar petition was filed asking Boston township to subscribe $10,000. This petition was signed by thirty property owners in that township. This will also come up before the commissioners Monday. GETS TANKED UP WHILE IN JAIL Arthur Cosgrove, brought to the county jail from Cambridge City to serve ten days for intoxication, is described as the "drunkest man" ever received at the bastile Wy Turnkey Miller.

ALASKA WILL HOT

EFJ LAND SAYS LOIITZ ' Richmond Man Returning From Tour Sees No Prospects of Cold Country Except Mineral Wealth. Contrary to the reports of land agents and advertisements concerning conditions in Alaska, John M. Lontz, president of the F. & M. Lawn Mower company, who has returned from an extended trip through that country, believes Alaska has practically no possibilities as an agricultural country. i "Conditions there do not favor ag riculture," said Mr. Lontz, "and the worth of Alaska lies entirely in Its mineral development. Even the timber is of poor quality. While our trip was only through the southern and eastern portion of the country, I talked with a number of men who were acquainted with conditions in sections and learned that agriculture would never become the leading occupation in Alaska." During the two months tour Mr. Lontz, who was accompanied by his wife and Miss E. A. Woods, of the Arlington hotel, had opportunity to Investigate conditions there as well as to view the scenery which he describes as the most wonderful on the American continent. The party left Seattle on the southeastern tour, which took them by steamer to Scagway, a distance of approximately 1,000 miles. Scenery Wonderful. This trip occupied five days after which they took the train for a dis tance of approximately 175 miles to White Horse, the northern terminus of the White Pass & Yukon railroad. They then took the steamer up the Yukon river to Dawson City, a distance of 600 miles. The primary ob ject of the trip was sightseeing. "Out of Seattle the scenery is simply wonderful," Mr. Lontz remarked. Snow capped mountains are In sight all the time and the picturesque little cities which dot the coast add In the forming of one of the prettiest pictures I have ever seen. The cities of Wrangel and Ketchikan are exception ally picturesque as well as other small mining and fishing towns along the coasts. The trip from Seattle to Scag way is mostly through the channels, on each side of which are mountains that appear to rise directly out of the water. Some of the cities are built out over the water." "Gold mining is the chief Industry of this district. Coin All Large. "The smallest coin anyone sees in any district we were in is a quarter. which everyone there calls 'two bits,' s :d Mr. Lontz. "Supplies are about three times higher priced than they are in the states. This is due to the high transportation charges." On the steamer from Seattle, Mr. Lontz met Arch Deacon Stuck, the man of world-wide fame, who was the only man who successfully refuted Dr. Cook's claim to his story concerning Mt. McKinley. According to this man, the United States is making a mistake in building a railroad in Alaska. He believes that the money can be better spent in building roads. "I do not agree with him," said Mr. Lontz this morning. 'I believe when the railroad is built the transportation rates will be greatly reduced and the country imensely benefitted."

HEUTRAUII CRISIS Official Paper Announces German Ultimatum to Russia and France. ROME, Aug. 1. The Messagero states that the German ambassador, Herr De Flotow, notified the Italian minister of foreign affairs last night that Germany bad sent an ultimatum to RusBia and France. The Messagero is a semi-official newspaper that maintains close relations wiih the Italian government. The Messagero published the following announcement: "The German ambassador visited Marquis Disan GiuUano at 8:15 last evening and announced that Germany had sent simultaneously an ultimatum to Russia ana another to France. "In the ultimatum Russia was asked to suspend the order of mobilizatioa within twelve hours and France was asked to inform the Imperial government within eighteen hours whether France would remain neutral in case ot war between Russia and Germany. "The German ambassador asked to be informed as to Italy's attitude in case of war between Germany and Austria and France and Russia. "The Marquis reserved his reply on the grounds that be first must have a conference with the premier." The Messagero further states that in an interview later between the Marquis and the premier they were In complete accord as to the line of conduct to be pursued in the present crisis, and took the stand that as it would not be a question of defensive war, Italy would conlne herself to pointing out that her obligations under the treaty in the Triple Alliance do not obligate her to take up arms under tue present circumstances and she will remain neutral. SCARE NOT FELT IN POSTOFFICE The European war scare has not Increased the amount of money sent abroad by foreigners in this city. Assistant Postmaster Deuker, who has charge of the money order department, says only a normal business has been conducted through his branch of the service. He does not believe foreigners in the city are Interested sufficiently In the dispute to rush funds to the aid of their relatives on the other side. Russian Jews and Italians send the most money abroad, while most of the Hungarians receive money from their relatives in the old country.
