WANT TO VOTE BONDS TO PAY FOR NEW PARK
West Richmond Residents Start Bitter Fight in CouncU to Eliminate DumpCharge Discrimination. A temporary truce in the fight over the method of lighting the business districts having been declared the administration is now confronted with the necessity of entering into another contest which-promises to be a particularly lively one. With Mayor Robbins declaring that If he ever sanctioned a municipal bona Issue it would be only to carry out an extensive permanent street improvement program, or to install an adequate sewer system, it was learned today that a determined effort will be made to have an issue of bonds floated for the purpose of providing a riverside park in the territory adjacent to the Doran bridge where the west side dumo is now located. nvinb wntrieia chairman of a naxlal minll committee which has been investigating the riverside park project, today announced that at the next regular meeting of council his committee would recommend that the city bring condemnation proceedings to nurchase the Drooerty desired for park purposes and issue bonds to purchase the same. Incensed Over Dump. It appears that the committee in uch action will be supported almost unanimously by West Richmond and Falrvlew citizens. There is no doubt that they are thoroughly aroused over j the dump nuisance, which is the bane j of their existence. Some probably would be satisfied with the elimination of the dump but the majority of them appear to be prepared to make a determined effort to have all the property adjacent to the dump taken over by the city for park purposes. Mayor Robbins In opposing such a plan expresses the belief that he is reflecting the opinion of a majority of the residents of the city. He believes that the 'city has now as many parks as are necessary and he says he cannot sanction the expenditure of at least $20,000 or $25,000 for another park especially when so many other public Improvements are necessary and in view of the fact that existing conditions demand an economic municipal financial policy for the ensuing year. Two weeks ago council unanimously adopted a resolution calling for the blowing up of the west side dump, but the board of works has so far taken no action. Complaint was made in council last evening of this delay and one of the many West Richmond women who attended the meeting remarked after the adjournment that "the board was treating the matter as a Joke." This woman and a number of other WeBt Richmond people then urgently begged councilmen to arrange to spend some evening at any home near the dump so that they could realize what the people In that locality had to put up with. They were told that several landlords had found It impossible to secure tenants for houses .situated near the dump, that property values had been reduced, that people had been made ill and their household effects ruined by refuse blown from the dump. Councilmen were discouraged in accepting the Invitation extended them when informed that one of their members, Joseph Walterman, had recently cajlea on a family living near the dump and had been sent home violently ill. Doubt Value Reduction. There are some members of council who, while willing to believe the dump is as great a nuisance as it is repre sented to be, are doubting the allegation that the dump has lowered property values in that locality. Chairman Waidele said last evening that the property so far inspected by his committee with the view of having the city purchase it has been valued at $22,000 while its assessed valuation was only $6,000. Only two properties have not yet been priced, one owned by the M. Rumely company, which has delayed communicating with the committee, and the other owned by a Richmond man, who, Waidele said, "would not give the committee a civil answer." Edgar Iliff, speaking for the West Richmond delegation at council last night, made an insistant demand for relief from the dump nuisance. He told of the hardships it worked upon those living near the dump and then charged that for years West Richmond had been discriminated against in favor of other sections of the city. He cited as a late instance of this contention the action of council and administration dropping contemplated action to force the street car company to place conductors on West Richmond and Falrvlew cars when the company agreed to extend its South Eighth street line into Beallvlew and construct a spur into Morton park. Iliff described this as a "sell out to the street car company." Neglect West 8lde. Earlier in the evening Councilman Waidele had charged "discrimination" against the west side. He said that streets west of the river were being absolutely neglected and that all the streets west of the river were being absolutely negletced and that all the street improvement work was confined to sections east of the river. "There is South Thirteenth street being remade now although it was in pretty fair shape," he shouted. "On the other hand there is Southwest Third street which hasn't had a load of crushed tone or gravel placed on it since it was constructed, over twenty years ago. A real estate man has also been allowed to place a huge sign across West Main street at its western terminus and he is now plowing up a street west of that sign without any authority. It seems like any out of town man can get away with anything he attempts in this city. I would not be surprised if that sign some night was coaloiled and burned." Considerably peeved by the charges of "discrimination," Mayor Robbins arose and reminded council that miles and miles of bad streets was his administration's legacy from the last Zimmerman administration. "We have had about four months to do street repair work but there are some people who believe that every street In town should now be in perfect repair," he said. "We are pushing our street repair work m rapidly as possible and the West Richmond streets will receive the same degree of atten-
War .abB0dl8
BRUSSELS, Noon Tuesday The Belgian capital has been transferred to Antwerp, and Brussels is in terror over the advance of the "German cavalry. Queen Elizabeth and her two children have already gone to Antwerp. Fighting is reported at Gembloux and several other points, about 25 miles from Brussels, the Ger
man right wing being engaged in an attempt to cut off the Belgian army from its allies. Preparations for the defense of Brussels proceed with feverish haste. War correspondents have been ordered to leave the vicinity of Wavre, near Waterloo and this is regarded as highly significant. It is officially admitted that the French forces have lost heavily in preceding engagements. LONDON Dispatches seeping into London through the censor indicate that the struggle for the mastery of western Europe is now fairly on. Three battles are imminent, but they are at widely separated points. One is for control of the northern Belgium, one is near Ardennes, and the other is Lorraine. Whether Germany will strike in full force at one of these points or at the three is the problem being discussed today. The German pressure upon the Belgian battle front is very heavy and it is likely that the great struggle will occur there near historic Waterloo. The French infantry in Alsace seems to be worrying the Germans, while the heavy armies are rolling against the Eastern German frontier. The war is devouring Europe's gold at the rate of several millions a day. The cost in lives is already appalling. England has 100,000 soldiers on the Continent and more are to go. THE HAGUE Reports persist thai Crown Prince Frederick William of Germany is at Aix-La-Chappelle, dangerously wounded and that the Kaiser is hastening to his side. MAINZE The Emperor has arrived here. It is said that he
will proceed to the front. ST. PETERSBURG It is generally understood that the Czar will soon join his army in. the field.

CITY TAKES FIRST STEP. TO CONTROL CROWDED TRAFFIC Council Passes Ordinance Requiring Dimmers" and Closed Mufflers to Second Reading. Two ordinances governing the regulation of traffic and the operation of motor vehicles : were 'introduced in council last evening by the ordinance
committee. Both were allowed to take their regular course after first reading. One provides that no vehicles of any kind which are on Main street shall stop within fifty feet of the Eighth street crossing nor within twenty-five feet of any other crossing between Fourth and Twelfth streets for a period longer than required for the occupants of vehicles to get out, or for the unloading of merchandise and other goods; that a traffic officer must be on duty at Eighth and Main streets from 7 a. m. to 10 p. m.; thaT vehicles of all kinds, street cars and traction cars must come to a full stop at Eighth and Main, and not to proceed until signaled to do so by the traffic officer, and that pedestrians must cross Main street at right angles at all crossings between Fourth and Twelfth streets. - The second ordinance provides that the muffler of every motor vehicle operated within the city must at all times be kept closed to prevent any unnecessary noise: that reed horns, whistles and bells of soft tones must be used to sound warnings, and that all headlights on motor vehicles must be equipped with "dimmers" to prevent the streets being made unsafe by blinding lights. "If dimmers" are not used then cars must be equipped with lights of soft, yellow hues. I To Re-route Cars. I The question of regulating traffic on Main street, especially at Eighth and Main streets, has become a serious problem and a plan is being considered to prevent the congregating of street cars at that corner every fifteen minutes. This system of the street car company is what causes the greatest congestion at the city's bus iest corner. Once before an ordinance was Introduced to prevent the parking of vehicles on Main street but was defeated because so many business men opposed it. Under the provisions of the new ordinance vehicles may be parked in certain parts of Main street but not near any crossings. One councilman objected to the plan of requiring that mufflers on motor vehicles be kept closed, but was informed that this already is the law. He said that it was impossible to negotiate steep hills without opening the muffler. Sour 8tomaeh.

Crowds in Steerage. The cablegram received by Mr. Knollenberg yesterday from Secretary Bryan asking for $200 to be sent to the Consul at Copenhagen, is believed to have been requested to compensate the Bteamship company after the money had been forwarded to the young people by the Consul there. "The steamship Oscar II, which left port with 1,000 Americans on board, was so crowded that many wealthy people considered themselves lucky in being able to go steerage," reads the account of the sailing of the boat from the port of Copenhagen, Denmark. Nothing has been beard from the other Richmond tourists in Europe since the war broke out, with the exception of the cablegram sent from Berlin two weeks ago, stating that Miss Gertrude Bartel, Miss Elizabeth Sudhoff, and Miss Virginia Graves were in the care of the United States Consul there. The families of these young women are anxiously awaiting definite word concerning them. The island of Ceylon has about sixty million trees, yielding 1,200,000,000 coconuts, many of which are used locally for food and drink. YOU'LL GET RID OF BLACKHEADS SURE There is one simple, safe and sure way that never fails to get rid of blackheads and that is to dissolve them. To do this get about two ounces of plain powdered neroxin from any drug store sprinkle a little on a hot, wet sponge rub over the blackheads briskly wash the parts and you will be surprised how the blackheads have disappeared. Big. blackheads,, little blackheads, no matter where they are, simply dissolve and disappear, leaving the parts without any mark whatever. Blackheads are simply a mixture of dust and dirt and secretions from the body that form In the pores of the skin. Pinching and squeezing only cause irritation, make large pores, and do not get the blackheads out after they become hard. The powdered neroxin and the water Bimply dissolve the blackheads so they wash right out, leaving the pores free and clean and in their natural condition.
