L OF STORE FRONTS Building Inspector to Push Ordinance Through Council for Protection of Pe- , destrians. The removal of all electric signs from the streets will be demanded by Building Inspector Hodgln in council this fall as the result of the falling of a heavy sign on Main street yesterday. Mr. Hodgln made this statement today, and stated further that by January 1 he expects to have an ordinance in effect which will mean the compulsory removal of all the illumination Main street now has which has any market effect on the darkness Yesterday a sign hanging in front of the Sam Fred clothing store. Detween Seventh and Eighth streets, was loosened by the wind. The iron braces and chains were bent and torn free, and the sign crashed throught a front outside show case. At the moment there were no pedestrians near, and the accident caused only the. damage to the Blgn and show case. One store out of every three in the business district has a sign more or less elaborate. Some of the signs are massive and heavy. Nearly all projecting signs of any size are elaborately lighted, furnishing the only bright light on the streets until midnight. "When the sign lights' are turned out, the street is in comparative darkness until daylight. To Abolish Signs. Mr. Hodgin will consult City Attorney Bond relatives to introducing into council an ordinance compelling the removal of signs, repealing ordinances now standing which permit signs, and fix the size height and other matters, a fixing a heavy epenalty for U6e of Buch signs. Mr. Hodgin stated that it is almost Impossible to assure the safety of illuminated signs of great weight unlesB the signs are provided for in the construction of the .building. Only within the last five years have most of the signs been placed on store fronts. The building inspector says that Los Angeles and many other cities have long had measures preventing such signs from being used. Signs erected on tops of buildings are allowed under certain conditions in these cities. Illuminated signs placed flat against the fronts of buildings are also not allowed. Mr. Hodgin will investigate the conditions attached to the hanging of such signs before asking for the ordinance. JAPS MOUNT GUNS TO BOMBARD FORTS TOKIO, Sept. 3. Japanese forces have seized seven islands around KioaChau, and are mounting guns to bombard Tsing Tao. The capture was effected with some loss of life, the admiralty stated today, but the casualties were not severe. Before the Japanese troops were taken inside the bay it was swept for mines, and more than one thousand were removed. The mine sweeping operations were conducted at night, but one Japanese boat was caught by a Bhell from one of the Tsing Tao forts and was badly damaged. With the Chinese island Tsing Tao is practically surrounded by land and see. The Markets Edited by A. D. Cobb. CHICAGO GRAIN Furnished by Correll and Thompson, I. O. O. F. Bldg. Phone 1446.

ian Peasant Gives

to Scout of the French A rmy

The upper picture shows Belgian artillerymen snatching a few hours sleep during a lull in the fighting. They sleep at the base of their guns, fully clothed, ready to go into action the moment the alarm is given. For many days during the fighting in Belgium these soldiers slept in this fashion. The fighting was too hot most of the time for them to think of undressing and going to bed. The lower photograph, just received from Belgium with the one shown above, shows a French cuirassier with full equipment receiving food at an outlying Belgian farm. The peasants, who regarded the French as their saviors, were very willing to do anything within their power to aid them.

War Taktoodls

PARIS History making changes in the last twenty-four hours are recorded as follows : "The seat of government removed to Bordeaux. President Poincare leaves Paris at 11 o'clock Wednesday night. All French wounded and German prisoners are being removed from Paris to Nantes and Rennes. The Germans are nearing the outer fort "'cations of the city. They are reported fighting at Noyon, on the Uise river, in a final effort to reach the Paris line forts and begin their second siege. The Germans now control all of northern France from Dieppe on the English channel to Montmedy, on the Belgian border. Amiens has been captured by the Germans. (This city is 50 miles from Paris). The French have abandoned the city of Boulogne of the Channel. A German aeroplane that flew over Paris dropped five bombs early today. It was brought down by French gunfire and its pilot killed. American Ambassador Herrick and First Secretary Bliss will remain throughout the siege. The exodus of the French people southward continues. The road between Paris and Bordeaux seems a continuous processions of refugees. ST. PETERSBURG Jubilation over Russian successes in East Prussia is highly demonstrative. The Czar's armies will be in both Berlin and Vienna within thirty days. The forts at Koenigsberg are surrounded by the Russians and their investment is expected shortly. The Germans made an unsuccessful sortie from Koenigsberg yesterday. The Austrians lost 43,000 men in their battle at Lemberg where they had 160,000 men in action. The Russian reverse in the Osterode, reported yesterday, is confirmed.

LONDON (Noon) The war office made only one brief announcement up to noon today. It referred to the continuous fighting along almost the entire line in France. The London Star reports that the Germans are near the Paris outer fortifications and moving with a rapidity amazing for such a great army. TOKIO Japanese forces have taken seven islands on Chinese territory near Kiao-Chau and are mounting guns to bombard Tsing Tao.

The test was satisfactory and not a leak was found. The ordinary pressure until the gas reaches the city is 125 pounds. This pressure is graduated into the city mains and is gradually lost as it goes through the various side mains. In making the test, the pressure in the Hollansburg - Richmond main was placed at 255 pounds, where It remained for twelve hours. The devices through which the gas enters Richmond, prevented the pressure from being felt in the city. CRUSHED ROCK HERE Since the opening of all sources of crushed stone coming into Richmond within the past week, the city street department has been swamped with carloads of stone which it cannot use immediately.

CARDINALS INJECT DISCUSSION OF WAR III PAPALCONCLAVE French and English CarO nals Sympathize With Home Countries, While Americans Are Neutral. BY LEASED WIRE. ' ' ROME, Sept. '3. Following the conclusion of the papal conclave of the deliberations, it was learned that Car

dinal Mercier addressed his colleagues declaring that "It was Impossible for the cardinals to perform their supreme duty without reference to the horrors of war." Cardinal Mercier was supported by French and English cardinals, the sympathies of this faction being naturally with those countries which are at war with Germany and Austria. The German and Austrian cardinals protested against "undue interference of politics in the highest spiritual functions 'of the church." A majority of the Italian cardinals seemed sympathetic with 'the Germans, while Cardinal Farley of New York and others endeavored to maintain peaceful, friendly feeling. Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore, and O'Connell of Boston got here just after the announcement of Cardinal Della Chiesa's election was made. Both were pleased at the selection. HEAT WEARS OUT G, A, R, VETERANS DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 3 One hundred and eight persons, veterans and others, have been treated at hospitals today as a result of exhaustion from the heat and marching in the G. A. R. parade yesterday. With the parade over, interest of the visiting veterans centers in the place of the next encampment and the election of a commander in chief to succeed Warren Gardner. At the meetings today these were the chief topics of discussion. The Ohio delegation is making a strong bid for next years' encampment and there is a well defined effort to make a Cincinnati veteran the head of the army. There are at least a dozen other candidates for the honor. BOYS PLAY HARD FOR LAST DAYS With the opening of school on Monday hanging over them like a threatening cloud, the youngsters of the city are putting in double time playing. Every minute is being made to count this week. Nothing is too strenuous. Feverish haste and nervous energy marks the games which in the warm days were slow, with long intermis sions during which boys lay on their '. backs under shady trees and watched the clouds shift lazily across the sky. Buot now when night comes tired boys curl in bed muttering that one more day of play is gone. DROWNING CAUSES DEATH OF WOOD Accidentaly drowning is the cause for the death of 'Orville Wood, 22, of Dalton, whose body was found in ten inches of water near a foot-bridge over Nettle creek, Monday morning. Evidence tended to show that the young man had had an epileptic fit while crossing the creek and had fallen in. Being unable to climb out the shallow water caused his death. HOWARD TO PLAY Wesley Howard, the talented violinist of this city, has arranged for a public recital to be given Thursday evening, September 10, at the Bethel A. M. E. church on South Sixth street.

HACK MAY USE

. CLOSED HIGHWAY Instructions were given to the driver of the township hack, which carries children to school No. 9, near Moorman's switch, east of the city, that he should use the National road east in carrying children to school. The road construction company building the road east of the city, has the road closed for a short distance, but according to Township Trustee Howarth the company has no legal right to prevent the school hack from traversing the road, since it would have to go several miles out of its way to avoid the road. School begins In the township schools Monday. "The difference between me and him," said Mrs. Sim Heckle yesterday, 'is that Sim preaches economy and I practice it." Topeka Capital.
