SOUTH SIRS

ASK HEARING ON BRIDGE SITE

Mass Meeting Names L. H. Smithmeyer and W. H. Kelley to Present Petitions for E Street. GIVES NEW HIGHWAY Proposed Span Location Adds to Fire Protection in West Richmond, Giving Quicker Access. Perfect harmony reigned on one question, that of the location of the south side bridge, at the mass meeting held in the court house last night. Among more than one hundred men whom the weather did not keep away there was not a dissenting voice. The petition for the E street location is even bigger than expected. When about 150 pages were turned In, it was found to contain about 4,000 names instead of 3,000 and a number of the petitions are still out. It is conceded to be the biggest improvement petition ever filed in the county. The outcome of the meeting 'was the " ' rst o .(ao1-r HfsViQf? the board of county commissioners to set .. i.iue ior hearing on me undue location and the appointment of a committee of iouis H. Smitnmeyer and Attorney W. H. Kelley to incorporate In the resolution the reasons for wanting the E street location. Repeats Other Fights. The fight now on for the location of the bridge is a repetition of the Doran bridge and Main street bridge fights, according to John Schwegman who says he has been a resident of the first ward for sixty-five years. "Forty years ago the center of Richmond was in the south end," said Mr. Schwegman. "When the Doran bridge was proposed it looked to some people like a wild scheme. They wanted the bridge at South E street. The same was the case when the Main street bridge replaced the old National road bridge. I stood ior both those bridges and now I stand for the South E street bridge." President Kelly. Professor Trueblood and other Earlham men who stand for the E street location were not present. By a unanimous vote. Attorney Kelley was made chairman and Louis II. Smithmeyer, secretary. Mr. Kelley stated the purpose of the meeting and listed some of the reasons the committee has for wanting the location asked. To Eliminate Danger. "We are here to lend encouragement and intelligence to those who have judicial power to act, the board of county commissioners," Mr. Kelley said. "In making our discussions, we must lose sight of the advantage the bridge will be to any individual and make it a question of the most convenient place at which the most people can cross." Mr. Kelley then explained a new plan permanently to eliminate any danger from the railroad. In his Investigations he has found that the west bank of the river is ten feet lower than the railroad on the east bank. Fourth and South E street is a high point and by removing this point, the slope from Fifth street to a bridge under the railroad would be scarcely perceptible. This would mean a lower bridge built on a level and probably at ten per cent less cost than a bridge and grade crossing at the railroad would tost, Mr. Kelley said. He suggested that this would bring to Richmond a new thoroughfare, South E street which would be the only street to run on a straight line from city limits to city limits. This would also mean that southwest Richmond would have fire pro tection from a company which would have a straight run, the company located at Ninth and South E streets. The large number of persons housed at Earlham college, should be considered in this too, Mr. Kelley said. The Joseph Moore school house at the end of the proposed site, would also be protected. In speaking of the opposition, Mr. Kelley said he believed there was no opposition outside of the South Side Improvement association and the improvement association is divided within itself on the question. Timothy Nicholson, who has appeared before the commissioners before in the fight for the E street bridge, spoke a few words, saying that as far as he is concerned, the question of the bridge location is settled and that E street is the only practical point. N. C. Heironimus compared the location of the bridge with the building of a railroad. "If we look to the immediate patronage, we select E street. If we look into the prospective business, E street is the logical point," he said. Charles Carpenter endorsed the bridge location and stated his willingness to fight for it. Folger P. Wilson suggested that by the time the future generations the South Side Improvement association would prepaue for, are here, there will be money enough to build another bridge to take care of the additional grewth. , The work of Levi Peacock, county engldeer was an Important one. He said that E street is the only location where the span can be made on a due east and west course. He said E street is the logical location. Richard Sedgwick declared it a matter of civic economics for the city to advocate the E street location and prevent a gap In the city's growth. However Alfred Bavis, of the board of works refused to voice his ideas, declaring he came merely as a spectator and could not a a public official express himself on a question which has caused the growth of such factions. George Bishop spoke of the advantages the location will be in opening up territory surrounding the Joseph Moore school, Earlham college and the back part of Earlham cemetery. The committee consisting of Mr. Kelley and Mr. Smithmeyer will appear before the commissioners with their resolution some time this week to nsk for a date of hearir" on the question. At that time, theQher committees will be prepared to enter a pro nd con discussion.

Modern Betsy Ross Makes First U S. "Flag of Peace

J

"If each of the flags of the world were to have a white border, indicative of peace, so that the flag might stand for all it did before and be a banner of peace as well, it would be a better flag and all other nations would have better flags," said the Rev. A. T. Pennington of Los Angeles, Cal., last Sunday to his congregation. Miss Henrietta Crosman read the above remarks and immediately set about to put the idea into practice. In her dressing room at the Palace Music Hall, she stitched a white border on an American silk flag with all the patriotism and reverence with which Betsy Ross sewed together the first red and white stripes and placed the original thirteen little white stars on their blue field. Each loop of thread was put in place with a prayer that peace may soon come about in wartorn Europe. The first 'Flag for Peace" is now on exhibition in the lobby of the Palace Music Hall. It will

be presented to President Wilson Washington theater.

BUILDING ACTIVITY FALLS ONE-THIRD BELOW LAST YEAR With the building season ' rapidly nearing its ' close " Building Inspector Hodgin today estimated that this year's operations would be at least one-third less than the normal amount of building. , He said, however, that he thought the 1914 building record In Richmond was good considering general conditions. From Jan. 1 up to today 255 building permits have been Issued by Hodgin and the total cost of these new buildings is $275,000. Fees received by the city for issuing these permits and 320 permits for wiring and 72 permits for heating appliances amounted to $934.45. The loss by fires the first nine and one-half months of the year has been remarkably small as shown by Inspector Hodgln's records.- There have been fifty-seven blazes with damages totaling only $5,898, or an average of a little more than $100 a fire. This excellent record is due to the efficiency of the fire department and Hodgin's systematic efforts along fire prevention lines. He has made regular inspections within the fire limits and has influenced owners of buildings to make such improvements as to minimize danger from fires. For his work along these lines he was the recipient of many congratulations from insurance experts who were in the city yesterday. The most important work done by Hodgin for fire prevention was the ordering down of eight buildings, which they were located. Today it was learned that the building inspector within the next day or two intends to pronounce the death sentence on what he regards as the greatest fire risk in the city, the ancient Fremont block, northeast corner of Eighth and Main streets.

A SIMPLE WAY TO RESTORE GRAY HAIR . It Is an. easy matter to restore gray or faded hair to Its natural color, and do it so no one can possibly detect it Simply get a little old-fashioned sasatan solution (all druggists keep it prepared), put a little on a cloth, sponge or soft hair brash, and draw it through the hair, taking one small strand at a time. A few applications always do the work, no matter how gray or faded the hair may be. The color returns so naturally and evenly, no one can tell but what nature is responsible. It leaves the hair bright, rich, lustrous and soft, and makes It look eplendldd. Lairos At Legal Rato 2 Per Cent Per Month on Household Goods, Pianos, Livestock, Etc., from $10 to $250.
