BARTLEY A, GORDON DIES DURING MEAL

Bartley A. Gordon, superintendent of the gas service of the Light, Heat fend Power company, tone of Richmond's best known business men, died suddenly at his home, 110 Randolph Street, while eating his dinner at noon today. Heart disease was the cause. Apparently Mr. Gordon was in the best of health. As he had about completed a hearty repast, he suddenly gasped and fell out of his chair, dying almost instantly. No funeral arrangements have been made. Mr. Gordon was superintendent of the Richmond Natural Gas company from the time of its organization, until it sold out to the Light, Heat and Power company, when he went to the company as its gas service superintendent. He was a prominent member of St. Mary's Catholic church, the Knights of Columbus and the Ancient Order of Hibernians. He is survived by his wife, three sons and three daughters.

LIGHT PLANT EARNS $100,000 FOR FIRST TIME IN EXISTENCE

Today the gross earnings of the Richmond municipal lighting and power plant went over the $100,000 mark, the first time in any one year in the plant's history that such a record has been made. Controller McMahan and Superintendent Kleinknecht estimated that the close of the year the gross earnings of the plant would be close to $125,000, which will be an increase of $31,000 over last year. The expenses of the plant have been exceptionally heavy this year, and there has also been a reduction in both lighting and power rates. This has been made up to some extent, however, by the city, which has paid for street lighting for the first time in several years. But the plant's big business boom has been due almost entirely to the patriotic support it has received from its stockholders, the citizens of Richmond. Up to the present there has been an increase of seven hundred to the list of patrons of the plant, and now it has practically all the large consumers in Richmond. Controller McMahan expects a net profit

of $15,000.

Wayne county is the battleground in the congressional campaign now J raging in the sixth district. Having j the largest vote of ?.ny county in the j district, it is naturally a plum each ; candidate is extremely anxious to

pluck, and they are going after the prize hammer and tongs. j This week and next the county will reverberate with the oratory of Pro-1 gressive, Democratic and Republican ! candidates for congress, each urging the sovereign and haughty voters that the principles he stands for are best suited to meet the needs of the people. This week Elbert Russell, Progressive nominee, is touring Wayne county, speaking at one of the small towns every night. Up to the present time he has had the field all to himself, and has been greeted by large and interested crowds. But next week Mr. Russell is to have opposition. It was learned today that Representative Gray, the Democratic candidate, will arrive in Richmond from Washington the last of this week, and for several days will give his undivided attention to Wayne county, the reports from which are said to be most unsatisfactory to him. And bright and early Monday morning of next week the jaunty Patrick Joseph Lynch, the G. O. P. nominee, will appear and get busy at the job of spellbinding the Wayne county voters in favor of himself. Mr. Lynch's itinerary for next week is as follows: Monday, Starr Piano factor, 12:30 p. m.; Middleboro, 6:30 p. m. ; Whitewater, 7:15 p. m.; Bethel, 8 p. m.; Tuesday, Wayne Works, noon; Daiton, 7:15 p. m; Economy 8 p. m;

Wednesday, Dille-McGuire factory, noon; Chester, 6:30 p. m.; Fountain City, 7:15 p. m.; Greensfork, 8 p. m.; Thursday, F. & N. factory, noon; Jacksonburg, 6:30 p. m.; Germantown, 7:15 p. m.; Cambridge City, 8 p. m.; Friday, Boston, 7 p. m.; Negro Republican club at court house at 8:15 p. m. Dr. J. Wesley Hill is to deliver a Republican address at Cambridge City Saturday afternoon of this week, and Saturday night Ralph Sollitt of Peru will address a Republican meeting at Centerville. Friday night Judge Bankenbaker, one of the judges at the Donn Roberts trial at Terre Haute, will speak for the Republicans at Hagers-town.
