PARTY OF FOUNTAIN CITY FOLKS READY TO LEAVE IRELAND - " Visitors Abroad Tell of Re

fusal to Land on Irish Sou Without Appeal to Wash- ! ington. FOUNTAIN CITY. Ind.. Sept 5. Further word from the party of six Fountain City people who sailed for Ireland the fore part of August tells some of the experiences of the party and Indicates that there were more dangerous possibilities connected with their sailing than were at first thought Mrs. Ed Dunham, a member of the party, writes that all on board the S. S. Columbia, a British boat, were in grave fear of encountering German warships. It was known before sailing that the . S. S. Arcadia had been driven Into port at Halifax by a German war vessel, j'lne Columbia was loaded with provisions carrying over nine thousand 'hags of sugar anu as much bacon and 'fish. Every night the ship went forward in total uarkness and one night 1 during a dense fog the engines were reversed on two different occasions to prevent running Into other vessels. When within a few hours of landing at Londonderry the Columbia received a wireless not to land any American citizens in Ireland so that the party together with about twenty others 'affected by the order were compelled to land at Glasgow, Scotland. The party was here told that it would be impossible for them to reach Irish soli. The American consul was api pealed to who in turn cabled to Wash ington and the following day arrangeirents were made for the party's land- . lng at Belfast. Some of the members of the oarty 'in writing to local relatives have ex pressed a willingness to return to I American soil again at once because '01 conditions there. PREDICTS INCREASE IN COUNTY LEVIES Bowman Estimates Raise of One Cent or More for 1915 Tax. In all probability the county tax levy for next year will be 47.9 cents. This is the estimate made by County Auditor Bowman today, after reviewing alt of the appropriations for next year, which will come up for ratification by the county councU. The county tax levy will be madVby the county council next Tuesday morn- ' lng. According to the estimate of the icounty auditor the levy will be 1 'cent higher than last year. The total (appropriation out of the general fund of the county is $12,718. The special road sinking .fund amounts to $21,31.69. The free turnpikes will cost the county $35,061 next year if this appropriation is ratified by the coun'il. This is an increase of over $10,000 over year, but was made necessary because of the increased mileage of county roads. Two road bonds will be paid off next jyear, and the interest on the rest will 'he included in the appropriation to be settled next week. The increase of 1 cent will mean a great increase in the funds for this year, owing to the increased assessment. GERTRUDE BARTEL SAFE AT DETROIT Miss Gertrude Bartel, daughter of Mr. end Mrs. Adam Bartel, landed at New York late Thursday afternoon, and is now at Detroit, Mich., visiting friends. She will arrive at Richmond tomorrow morning. Miss Bartel sailed to America on the steamer Cedric, leaving Liverpool AuguBt 16.

The upper photograph, taken during the Turko-Balkan war, shows Turkish troops on their way to mobilization points. Just such scenes as this are now being witnessed throughout Turkey for an army of 200,000, with German officers in command, is now being mobilized. The lower photograph shows German officers and sailors outside the German legation at Constantinople. It is these men who are to have charge of the Turkish fighting forces. That Turkey is momentarily

expected to declare war on the Entente powers and to cast her lot with the Triple Alliance is indi cated by the British request at Washington that the United States take care of England's diplo matic interests in Turkey should the Porte declare war.

REFUSES TO MAKE DP WATER DEFICIT City Replies to Company's Request for Payment, Saying Claims Invalid. The Richmond City Water Works was officially notified of the city's refusal to regard the $250 claim for deficits on certain water mains ordered by the city, as valid. TTie notice was sent by President Bavis of the board of works. Mr. Bavis referred the water works company to a section of the ruling of the public utilities commission in which the water works company takes its own responsibility in laying mains. Where the estimated revenue is ten cents a foot the entire length of the main; the board or worKs can compel the company to construct it. Otherwise, the company can disregard the board's ruling. GILES MAY USE MOVIES IN SCHOOL Moving picture machines will not he installed in the schools of the city this year, according to Superintendent Giles today. There is some probability of installing them later in the year, but changes that would have to be made in the buildings, make it impossible at the present time according to the superintendent. DUMP FIRE SAFE City Officials and Fire Chief Miller are satisfied that the bonfire on the West Richmond dump last night will not start the blaze there again. An investigation showed that the fire was made on the most solid piece of ground on the dump. It is believed enough dirt covered the debris underneath to prevent heat from starting a spontaneous combustion fire. LABOR DAY QUIET Labor day will be a holiday of rest for working people of the city. There will be no special attraction to draw citizens from their homes, except a few picnics or family gatherings. Offices, stores, shops, banks and saloons will close during the day. The labor unions here have provided for no local observance of the day, but many representatives will attend state celebrations in Fort Wayne and other cities. COMMERCIAL CLUB TO HEAR REPORTS Committee reports will be read before the directors meeting of the Commercial club Monday night and preparations will be placed on the roster during the June membership campaign. The new members will be entertained at the meeting a week from Monday. The insurance committee, new industries committee, public health committee and the committee on legislation are expected to make some reports of the work planned for the coming year. Other committees will be reported on by the directroa relative to the work outlined for the Mxt few months,

PRINTING PLANT EFFECTS SAVINGS A great saving to the schools of the city is being effected by utilizing the printing equipment at the high school for the printing of official papers and bulletins sent out by Superintendent Giles.

WHO WANTS PLACE WITHOUT SALARY? Council Committee Offers City Forester Job to Public Spirited Citizen. The office of city forester will again be placed on the market for occupa tion by a public spirited citizen who would give his services gratis for the conservation of the trees and shrubs in the city and for the planting and caring for of additional trees. Elbert Russell, councilman at large who is chairman of the committee which was appointed to consider the petition of West Richmond citizens asking that money be appropriated to purchase and plant young trees, suggests that the same method be tried as the Zimmerman administration worked successfully. The forester would be permitted to work under private contract if he made this his business. John Thompson, assistant principal of the high school and teacher in botany, held the flace and did valuable work for the city for two years. PROPOSE TAXATION OF MOVIE TICKETS BY LEASED WIRE. WASHINGTON, Sept. 5. At a conference, Democrats of the ways and means committee practically abandoned the idea of taxing railroad tickets as one method of raising additional revenue as a war tax. Decided opposition also developed to the taxation of gasoline. Representatives Kitchin and Garner led the opposition to the proposal to tax railroad tickets. It was urged that the public is continually fighting for cheap transportation, and that the taxation of such tickets would incure the hostility of every traveler. Opposition to the tax on gasoline was based on the fact that this product is used in rural communities for operating farm machinery. Indications now are that a tax is to be levied on beer and wines and probably whisky, baseball and theatre tickets, moving picture films, moving picture theatre tickets and soft drinks. Democrats on the committee will not tax tobacco unless it is found essential from a revenue standpoint. WOOLWORTH SENDS MANAGER LETTER Managers of the Woolworth five and ten cent stores of the country received letters from F. W. Woolworth in his Swiss home relating incidents of the war and telling conditions in Germany, France, Austria and Italy, all of which are touched by the little inland country. The local manager refused to make the letter public Almost 1,300 copies were printed and

LETTER BY CRUMP REACHES PARENTS

Message Tells of Intention to Return Directly to United States. r Judging from what is contained In a letter received today from Clifford Crump, his parents. Dr. and Mrs. C. F. Crump of Greensfork. are at a loss tn know the actual experiences of the young man, who according to a recent cablegram, is now at Calais, France. A letter was received this morning by his family, dated on board the steamer Sierra Nevado, August 2. On that date the ship turned from its course from Buenos Aires to France, and was bound for the port of Pernambuco. What makes the situation more complicated to Crump's family is that in this letter the young man Btated his intention of returning to the United States direct instead of exposure to the conditions in France, as he had originally Intended. Wednesday a cablegram was received from Falals, France, stating that the young man was stranded in France and asking aid from home. Money was sent him immediately through the state department at Washington. How he got to France is the question that puzzles the family. It is believed that the ship on which he was sailing to Europe, or perhaps to the United States, from PeAambuco, was captured and taken x 'Ca lais. r BY LEASED WIRE) BY LAWRENCE ELSTON. LONDON, Sept. 5. A dispatch from Copenhagen indicates that the Germans are rushing back heavy bodies of troops from the French frontier tc fight the Russians. The president of the German military staff, controlling the railways announces that the principal lines wil! be given over temporarily to the transportation of troops. Further indications are that the troops are being withdrawn from Al sace, and Lorraine. Land communica tion from Benin to Copenhagen is stopped. The main communication between Scandinavian countries and the continent is via Gjerdser and Warne munde. CHIEF TO INCREASE PATROLMEIl'S PAY Goodwin Asks Board to Grant Each Man Monthly Raise of $5.00. Chief of Police Goodwin last night asked the board of Metropolitan Police Commissioners for a general increase ot $5 a month to each man in the department. It is probable that an increase will be ordered for the first of the year although no additional funds have been appropriated. The members of the board agreed that the policemen should be given $75 a month instead of $70 as the department is far short in numbers of the maximum to which it is entitled. This brought on a discussion of the nigh cost of living and aside from allowing bills, the meeting was devoted entirely to talking over increased prices of commodities. The police chief does not want more men at present. In the holiday season, he expects to attach others to the department temporarily. He is considering adding a woman In December to apprehend saop lifters. CANDIDATES AT SALE Since this is the open season for candidates, most of the aspirants for county offices at the coming election were present, mingling with the crowd that attended. the Howard Harter sale yesterday on his farm two miles north of Webster. The condition of the goods offered for sale spoke well for Mr. Harter's care in handling stock and farm goods, and enabled "Tommy" Conniff, the auctioneer, to get th elast cent of value for every article. Horses brought from $150 to $180, cattle $40 to $50. Four hundred bushels of old corn sold for 80 cents; seed wheat $1.30; seed oats 46 cents. FALL BREAKS ARM Edward Lucas, an aged man, fell while intoxicated yesterday and broke bis wrist. He was found at the corner of Seventh and North A streets by the police and taken to the city Jail. The fractured bones were reset and Lucas was made comfortable. No charge was placed against him because of his condition. TUESDAY Car of Ear Corn on track. Get our prices. OMER G. WHELAN "Feed Man."
