T BECOMES BAIT OF POLITICIANS Residents Drop Agitation Temporarily When "Doc" Zimmerman Begins Laying Planks for 1917 Election. One of the campaign Issues of the next city election will be the west side park or the conversion of the West Richmond dump Into a park. Former Mayor Zimmerman and his Eight hand man, B. A. Kennepohl. a temocrat, are already laying their plans for a campaign In 1917. "Doc" and Kennepohl have been among the "West Richmond oltlsens investigating the demand for a park. Both have also been orer the dump and hare talked -with some of the property owners. This plan has been kept on the quiet, Slaving been revealed to only a few West Richmond Republicans, who will asked to return to the Zimmerman told in return for a park and other West Richmond improvements. Some of the less conservative of the west aiders were "let In" on the political plana of the two politicians, have urged them forward with the hope that It would spur the present administration to aotion and have even promised ardent support to the next Republican mayorallty candidate, who will be "Doc,"' according to himself. Park matters are at a standstill. This oame as the result of a deoislon of some of the hard headed ones that campaign to "bull dose" the city Into buying the property, even if a bond issue were required, would be. lminently dangerous and would leave the cltisens stranded farther from their coal than ever. No more mass meetings will be held for some time. The executive committee has closed its minute book indefinitely. The plan of suing the city was dropped because of the advice of some of their numbers that antagonlzatlon of the city was the wrong course to pursue. It Is rumored that there was a split In the committee and the matter was dropped when part of the committee expressed themselTes satisfied with the action of the city in appropriating $1,000 to make the first improvements in the dump. The other faction was that which wanted immediate action at 'any cost, it is said. Part of the committee takes the ctand that the park will be created sooner if the matter is left to the city as they feel convinced that the mayor And board of works are sincere in waning to create the park but cannot because of financial difficulties of the city treasury, only enough money coming In for current improvements and other civic expenses.

CRUISERS GUARDED VESSEL

REPORTS MRS. Sailing to America on a steamship which was protected by a guard of three British cruisers, and on which every precaution was taken to prevent apprehension by hostile ships, is the experience of Mrs. George B. Dougan of this city, and Miss Vonnie Sutler, who arrived in Richmond this afternoon. They landed at Montreal Canada, Tuesday morning on the steamer Athenia, a Scotch boat, which left Glasgow, Scotland, August 15 at the time the greatest apprehension was felt In Great Britain concerning the safety of an English boat, which was liable to the attack of the Germans. , The following are some of the observations of Mrs. Dougan as drawn from first-hand information of conditions in England: England shifts all the blame for the war on Germany. It Is the sentiment in Great Britain that England had to fight to uphold national honor. The suffragets have declared to discontinue activities until after the war. Tourists Unhampered. American tourists are not hampered in their travels through Great Britain. There seems to be a ereat rallvine In support of the king's view of the situation. The countries on the European continent have been nrenarinsr for war and knew that it was Inevitable. The Canadians are preparing to send aid to their mother country in the way of about 25,000 troops. Americans will soon be able to leave Europe in safety. "We landed in London July 30, right at the time the soldiers were being mobilised preparatory to their movement into Belgium," said Mrs. Dougan this afternoon. "We left Flushing, Holland on the last boat that went to England, as we learned later, so we consider ourselves fortunate in getting out of the trouble in Europe so easily. England 8hifts Blame. According to Mrs. Dougan, England has attempted to shift all the blame for the war on Germany. Everywhere in England the sentiment is expressed that England was forced into the war. She said that while In England she naturally received only the English point of view, so she could not Judge fairly as to the merits of the English claim. The local people were hampered on their trip only by Irregular train schedules and the lack, of horses for the coaches. Otherwise, the party continued their journey through England observing the sights unmolested. At no time were they held up and forced to prove their identity. GERMAN POPULACE SUFFERS FROM WAR COPENHAGEN, Aug. 27. -Travelers arriving here today from Berlin say that the war has caused intense suffering among the people, and that priceB have risen fifty per cent. One sees few able-bodied men on the streets, the most of them being away at war. It is said that in official circles In Berlin there is a feeling of nervousness over the attitude of Italy. The Germans are about ready to abandon the idea of getting any help from Italy, and they will be satisfied now if the Italian government will remain neutral without giving any help to England, France and Russia. PRESENT BIG CRANE TO GLEN PARK ZOO A big crane of the species found in southern Indiana and Kentucky was caught yesterday at the American Seeding Machine company by Ira Baker and Ernest Bosworth. The big bird was presented to Superintendent Ford at Glen Miller park. It has been placed an exhibition. The crane is rarely seen near Richmond, but fifteen miles south their appearance is not infrequent. The bird had flown into the Seeding Machine company's lumber yard when the employes captured it TO HONOR POPE Members of the St. Andrew's Catholic church will gather In reverence to the memory of Pope Pius X tomorrow morning. Father Roell has announced that he will conduct services tomorrow at 8 o'clock in the memory of the highest church official. There will be a short sermon and mass.

"In the journey to Canada, we were surrounded by three British cruisers and at night all lights were put out and the four boats kept in touch with each other by wireless. We saw but one ship on our way over and that was so far away that we could not distinguish' it's nationality," continued Mrs. Dougan. , The local people visited Belgium, Italy, Germany, France, Holland, England, Scotland and Canada. They have been gone for ten weeks. "We first heard of war when we were at Cologne, in Germany. We were then on our way to Holland. As Boon as we heard of the war we hurried to get out of Europe and were successful," she said. During their four days stay In London, troops were marching through the streets and everyone seemed to be in intense excitement, she said. It was Impossible for the local party to visit any of the castles as they were being used as headquarters in the mobilization of the troops and visitors were not allowed. Coach horses were to be requisitioned. 8ee "Buffs" Perform. Among the interesting Incidents In connection with the stay in England were the suffragette outbreaks that were witnessed by the party. While attending a service in St. Paul's cathedral In London, several suffragets began a disturbance and were carried out of the church. Th service was interrupted but the English people did not seem to take any particular note of it. In their later travels, it was learned that the suffragets had sworn to keep peace until after the war is over. Before entering the British museum the local party had to take an oath that they were peaceful American citizens and were not suffragets. "It seems to be the general opinion among the thinking class in England, that the English government is by far too lenient with the suffrage exponents and that the same punishment should be given them as is given ordinary offenders. I believe that the war will have a good effect on the movement there and an understanding will be reached," Mrs. Dougan continued. Mrs. Dougan and Miss Butler were met at Montreal by Miss Butler's uncle, Oliver H. Bogue of this city. He accompanied them to this city. While in Canada it was learned that 25,000 troops will probably be sent to aid to English in the fight on the European continent. The boat on which the ' local party returned to America, will be loaded with Canadian soldiers and will be sent back to aid in the fighting. MINERS FORCE MEN TO BUTTE, Mnt., Aug. 27. Miners insurging against the Western Federation of Miners this morning marched on the Anaconda mine of the Anaconda Copper company, and seized between thirty and forty members of the federation who had refused to join the Butte Mine Works' Union, the insurgents' organization, and marched them to insurgent headquarters, where all but seven were compelled to join. HAGERSTOWN MAN DIES IN CINCINNATI HAGERSTOWN, Ind. Aug. 27. Word was received here today of the deat hof William Mathews, for many years a resident here, at the home of his sister. Mrs. William Bevington, at Cincinnati. The deceased's family resides in California, but owing to his health he returned to Indiana several months ago.

NAVAL BATTLE

OFF CAPEHENLOPEN CAPE HENLOPEN, Delaware, Aug. 27. A naval battle Is believed to have taken place off Cape Henlopen early today. Beginning at 2 o'clock flashes, evidently of cannon fire, could be teen at sea about five miles off shore. These continued , intermittently until shortly before dawn, when the sound of a cannonade could be heard by persons on the beach. About 6 o'clock the glare of flames could be seen, and It was judged that one or both ships were on fire. They came in shore until outlines of the conflagration were visible then drew off. It is believed both were sunk. - Three hours afterward wreckage began drifting ashore. Spars and part of the bow of a ship were found on the beach. It is believed that one of the ships was a German cruiser and the other an English warship. WHEAT HITS $1,25 BUT TALLS LATER CHICAGO, Aug. 27. After a wild market during the early hours when May wheat reached 91.25 within a few minutes, only to drop off eight cents in an equally short time, trading on the board of trade quieted down later in the day, and closed around the opening prices. September and December wheat were unchanged, but May closed at $1,119, a gain of threequarters of a cent. FUMIGATE SCHOOLS The janitors of all school buildings of the city, under the direction of Sanitary Inspector Oscar Maahmeyer, today began the fumigation of the schools. This will require several days as every school room in the city has to be gone over thoroughly according to state law. In addition to the fumigating equipment now owned by the school board, four gross of cans containing fumigating powders were received today. It will cost the school board approximately $250 to complete the process this year. STILL LOST A letter was received from Congressman Gray this afternoon giving the Information Xha. the state department in its search for the steamer Sierra Nevada on which Clifford Crump, of Greensfork, is traveling, had cabled to Calais in an effort to locate the boat. It is thought probably that the steamship sought protection here when it was learned that war had broken out. The steamship is owned by a German company the North German Lloyd company, and was bound for Bologne, France, leaving Buenos Aires August 4. Efforts have been made by the steamship company and by the state department to locate the boat, but to no avail. FOULKE IN LONDON William Dudley Foulke. his wife and daughter, Gwendolin, and Mrs. Morrison, who have been in Italy, have cabled Richmond friends that they are safe In London. The party became separated on the continent Apprehension was felt for members of the party but after their arrival in London last Wednesday, according to the cablegram, the Americans had little difficulty finding each other. A card received today had been censored so the meaning could not be made out. U. B. TO GATHER LAPORTE, Ind., Aug. 27.

TOTTERING FRENCH f CABINET REPLACED BY HEW MEMBERS Delcasse, Foe of Kaiser William, Leads Ministry Appointed to Check Invasion of German Arms. BY FRANKLIN P. MERRICK, International New Service Staff Correspondent. PARIS. Aug. 27. The new cabinet formed by Rene Vivianl will be known as the ministry of national defense. It held a brief session this morning. Though Vivianl as premier retains the presidency of the council, he has taken no portfolio in the new cabinet, and it is expected that Theophile Delcasse, foreign minister and arch foe of Germany, will be the actual head of the ministry. Hitherto Socialists have refused to allow their leaders to enter the cabinet, but the present admiralty includes two, Marcel Sembat and Jules Guesde. The former is minister of public works but the latter holds no portfolio. Explains Acceptance. In explanation of their acceptance of appointment by the premier they issued the following joint statement: "We consented to act because we thought that in so grave a crisis 'the Socialists ought to take their part In ministering to the national defense." The downfall of the first Vivianl. cabinet, after being in existence only two and a half months, caused little surprise in Paris. It has been regarded weak. The reverses suffered by the troops in Belgium, and the defection of the Fifteenth corps brought the issue to a crisis. With DelcaBse at the helm as foreign minister, and Alexander Millerand as minister of war, all hesitancy is expected to cease. The entrance of Delcasse into national activities at this time is dramatic. He has always disliked Emperor William of Germany, and this dislike was fanned to hatred when the kaiser forced him to retire from the French cabinet in 1905 when France and Germany were on the brink of a crisis.
