JAPAtlESE REPAIR TSIHG TAP FORTS gflppcnese Believe Leasehold Should be Transferred to Japan for 99 Years. V MERRITT F. PRESTON, pkmtt Correspondent of International News Service. TOKIO, Not. 9. The final meeting (between Japanese and German millW7 representatives to arrange the details of the aurrender of Klao Shau V) the aires was held this morning. The commander of the British foroea which assisted In the reduction of the litortresa of Tains; Tao agreed to any venditions which suited the Japanese. The Japanese will take possession t)f Klao Chau tomorrow and probably will repair the fort which the Germans were compelled to surrender. The heavy shells from the Japanese 'howitzers completely demolished some ef these German works. The admiralty has ordered the work tf cleaning up the Kiao Chau harbor to begin at once. Navigation has been made nearly impossible by minea and ships which were purposely sunk by the Germans. Celebrate Victory. The victory is still being celebrated throughout the empire. Flags are floating everywhere, and the Japanese press Is filled with laudatory articles. The opinion expressed by the military authorities is that the German influence in the far east has been wiped forever. The final disposition of Kiao Chau Is uncertain, but already political leaders are coming forward to urge the retention of the territory. These leaders in the scheme for territorial adgrandizement declare that the program to be followed should be this: Germany's ninety-nine-year lease .with China of Kiao Chau should be broken and a similar lease should be granted to Japan. Germany may be paid an indemnity for the loss of her Chinese territory, but it is doubtful.

Private Improvement Committee Section A Five members, to urge torivate individuals and concerns to go ahead with contemplated building and, wherever necessary, to help those deserving credit to obtain it. To Urge Activity. Section B Five members, to urge Jprlvate individuals and concerns to go ahead with contemplated repairs and Improvements to properties, and where toecessary to aid in obtaining credit. Section C Five members, to urge owners of vacant ground to sell to those willing to build for small amount down, long time to pay and easy interest terms. VI. Farmers' Committee Seven members, four from country and three from city, to urge farmers as a class to maintain their consuming power by buying new implements, etc., and not add to '"hard times" by putting off until another season; to urge farmers to go ahead with contemplated repairs, improvements and new buildings, taking advantage of present low prices for materials and at the same time providing labor. Calls for Boosting. VII. Boosters' Committee Everyone in Richmond and Wayne county 68 members, invoking the old spirit of co-operation and push of Fall Festival days, when this community roused from its century sleep and climbed out of the rut, to "boost" and help us live up to our city's motto, "The Panic Proof City," by seeing that every one Willing to work shall have work. Obviously this plan should provide work only for workers who have been citizens of Richmond. We can liot burden ourselves with the unemployed of other communities, much as we pity their plight. Therefore, I Would suggest that all unemployed living in Richmond November 1, 1914, or employed then and out of work pfterward, be considered eligible for employment under the above plan. If enotiKh work can not be provided t the start for all the unemployed of he city, such work as can be should le handled in two shifts, morning and afternoon, so as to provide at least half a day's work for each worker, t'orrolary to this, it might be wise to pecure co-operation with building, improving, etc., going on under private control so as to work two shirts to ROCKEFELLER PLEADS ABSOLUTE INNOCENCE This photograph of the brother of John D. Rockefeller, who is reputed to be as wealthy as the Oil King, was made as he was arraigned before Judge Foster in the criminal branch of the United. States district court, and was pleading not guilty to the criminal indictment against him charging conspiracy to violate the Sherman anti-trust law in the New Haven railroad swindle.

one job as long as there are more workers than jobs. Would Provide Work. This is also a splendid time for our county and townships to undertake more extensive repairs and new construction, in view of the much cheaper cost of materials, and proper co-operation should be obtained with these governmental units to persuade them to follow this policy. In this way a great deal more work of value to the entire county could be secured for the unemployed of the entire county. It would be work that would have to be done anyhow during the next few years. By anticipating that period by doing this work now and during next year, a distinct saving would be effected for the taxpayers by buying material at present "panic" prices, be sides the great benefit to all business in having every one employed and with money to pay for their necessities. It is understood, of course, that all money expended by the city would be done in the duly legal manner. These committees would simply act in an advisory capacity and relieve the city officials of the great increase in work that would otherwise fall to their lot. Sight should not be lost of the important fact that doing several years of public work in one will mean no more taxes during the period in which the work would ordinarily have been done. With the coming of better times (he city would simply reduce the usual amount of public work until the balance had been struck with the taxpayers. In conclusion, if the city sees fit to adopt adequate and practical measures for the relief of our unemployed, I most cheerfully volunteer for any service within my power to render. Very truly yours, RUDOLPH G. LEEDS. DISINFECT YARD (Continued from Page One.) and Sunday in looking up suspected herds of cattle and hogs. A case re ported at Logansport is nearest to Richmond. He said that no shipments of livestock had been received from infected regions recently, and that the danger of an outbreak was not great, unless animals were shipped in a car that had been formerly used in shipping stock from infected centers. The case which broke out in Clinton county Saturday, was among a load of cattle shipped from Chicago, and the car in which they were delivered was filled with hogs and shipped to Indianapolis. Dr. Wagoner said that in this way there was a possibility of the Indianapolis yards being infected. Federal authorities are tracing the car, and it may be that it has not reached the Indianapolis yards. Jerome Shurley, manager, said today, "There has been no chance for the yards to become infected unless from cattle or hogs brought off the farms, as the last load of cattle shipped here was from Kansas City in September." Stop Shipments. The railroads have been ordered to receive no shipments until the yards have been disinfected. Contrary to a report circulated last week, the Glen Miller yards will continue to ship stock to Indianapolis until the yards there are ordered closed. However in order to avoid being caught with a large consignment of animals, all buyers for the local firm have been ordered to cease making offers for livestock, but all stock brought to the yards will be taken care of as long as the Indianapolis market is accessible. The Indianapolis market is the only one left open to local shippers. Several loads of hogs were kept standing in Glen Miller park until late Saturday afternoon, until It could be learned definitely that they would be received at Indianapolis if shipped. The owners were afraid to drive them into the stock yards for fear that the bogs and the horses hitched to the wagons would be quarantined in the yards. Cuta Receipts Down. Receipts at the yards were very small Saturday, and for once the yard management was glad of It. Hog re-

ceipts were 283 head. Ten cattle and two claves were also shipped out. Early in the week the calf buyers were notified by Mr. Shurley not to buy anything, as the eastern markets were all closed, and Indianapolis quotations were so low that calves could not be bought here cheap enough to pay the cost of shipping. Oscar Rich delivered 90 hogs that brought him $1393.37, at 7 cents a pound. Mr. Rich is one of the most extensive feeders in the county. D. R. Funk was on the market with 58 hogs of which he was justly proud, as they averaged 222 pounds, and were late March and early April pigs. The consignment netted him $884.55. Alex Reid, J. H. Edwards, H. J. Malone, James Thompson, C. M. Temple, Harry Toschlog and Homer Estell had livestock on the market Saturday.

PLAGUE REACHES IOWA. WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 9. The most alarming feature of the hoof and mouth disease situation as viewed by the department of agriculture experts today was the fact that the epidemic has spread to western grazing lands. Iowa, already has been quarantined. INDIANAPOLIS IMMUNE. INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 9. The most drastic precautionary methods to prevent the further spread of the hoof and mouth disease among Indiana live stock were inaugurated by both state and federal authorities. Despite the fact that the disease has been discovered in six counties, confidence is expressed that this region will be almost immune. QUARANTINE FARMS. DANVILLE, 111., Nov. 9 Three more stock farms in this vicinity were ordered placed under quarantine today in an effort to stamp out the foot and mouth disease. DISEASE SPREADS. HAMMOND, Ind., Nov. 9 On the ranches along the Kankakee river, the foot and mouth disease is assuming serious proportions. Three hundred splended cattle out of a prize herd have been killed, besides a large number of hogs and sheep. CHICAGO, 111., Nov. 9. The last animal in the Union Stock Yards has been killed, and the work of cleaning and fumigating to remove germs of the foot and mouth disease was redoubled today in the hope of having everything in shape to demand the reopening of the big market on Thursday. Out in the state twelve more infected herds were found, making a total of thirty-nine in Illinois. APPEARS IN EAST. TRENTON, N. J., Nov. 9. The hoof and mouth disease has made its appearance in New Jersey and twelve states are now affected by the epidemic. Episcopal church supper Friday. 9-11-12 CITY TO PROVIDE (Continued from Page One.) possible, and to dispose of real estate on exceptionally reasonable terms. To Encourage Farmers. A committee to encourage farmers to assist in the relief work by providing employment through construction and improvement work. A committee to arouse the old cooperative boosting spirit among all classes of citizens, so that anyone desiring work will be able to secure it. There is no doubting the fact that the situation in Richmond today is critical in fact one of the most critical situations the city has ever confronted, but unlike many other Indiana cities it is the intention in Rich CHICHESTER S PILLS Wm.

mond to meet this problem promptly, effectively and scientifically, and back up the often repeated assertion that "Richmond is a good place for a man to call his home." The cry of "we want work" has been heard from many formerly industrious and comfortably living men, but Mayor Robbins declares that he will do everything in his power to meet this demand and drive the wolf from as many homes as possible. Cabinet to Meet. Tonight there will be a meeting of the mayor's cabinet and at this meeting Mayor Robbins will instruct the head of every department to submit to him at a special meeting next Thursday night a complete list of improvements his department stands in need of now or contemplates providing for at a later date. By bulking these improvements city officials believe that work for a considerable number of men can be provided. While the initial cost of providing this work would be quite large in the end the city and the citizens would be greatly benefited, city officials point out. "Give the men some money to live on and that will not only be helping them but the business interests of the city," said Charles Marlatt, Democratic member of the board. "The city would be the gainer by such action because at this time it can find

; plenty of labor and materials for the most part are much cheaper," May Ask Loan. A temporary loan for the relief of the unemployed can be provided only by council, but it Is believed council is as much interested in this project as the other city officials. At the i last council meeting, as a matter of fact, Councilman White suggested that such action be taken. It is the intention of Mayor Robbins, after he secures data from his department heads to go before council and ask it to authorize a temporary loan. He will probably ask for this loan at the council meeting next Monday night. Just what the amount of the loan to be asked for will be has not yet been determined. Mr. Leeds at the board meeting this morning said he had discussed his employment plan with several of the principal manufacturers of the city, including James A. Carr and John M. Lontz, and all had given their hearty approval to It. Mayor Robbins asked if these manufacturers would co-operate by giving employment to more j men. Mr. Leeds said he was confiueiii uiey wouia Keep meir payrolls as large as possible but called attention to the fact that their markets had almost been eliminated the past few weeks and that they could not be expected to court the danger of excessive over-production. Estimates Unemployed. Mayor Robbins in estimating the number of unemployed men in the city approximately 1,200 said that during the winter the city ordinarily employed not more than fifty workers in its various departments but thought by the adoption of a general improvement program municipal employment could be provided for quite a number of men. The mayor agreed with Mr. Leeds that the county could do much to assist the unemployed and he said that he was in hopes that the county would decide to. begin work at once on the new south end bridge, which

would provide work for a number of men. The improvement work contemplated by the city would probably call for the reconstruction of Main street from

Fourth street to Twentieth street. The paving on this street has been done for twenty years and has not been, repaired during that time. A concrete base for this street is badly needed, city officials agree. There was some comment that concrete work could not be done during the winter but well informed city officials pointed out that in the larger cities concrete work is carried on during the winter months the same as it is during the spring, summer and fall. To Build Crematory. The city also has an appropriation of $7,500 for a new crematory and it was suggested that work on this building be started immediately after the first of next year. Superintendent Kleinknecht also stated that he would advise that in letting the contract for constructing the new street lighting system that employment be given only to Richmond men. It was also pointed out that the old South E street fire engine house might be remodeled for a general meeting place, and that the badly needed municipal barn and storage house be constructed. There are also a large number of streets which could be put in first class repair. As an example of the right kind of public spirit the business interests of the city could display in co-operation with the city government in assisting the unemployed the action of the directors of the First National bank was mentioned. This institution is to erect a new building on its present site during the winter, despite unsettled industrial conditions, and it has been provided that only Richmond workers be given employment. It is believed that other business interests can be induced to follow the worthy example this bank has set. HOLD COMMUNION. The national communion of the Y. M.

The relation of the courts to the Central Charity Bureau was discussed at a meeting of the central council Saturday afternoon and the way waa opened for important discussions later. The meeting was led by N. C. Heironimus. There was an attendance of sixteen persons. Two cases which the bureau is handling were brought up and circumstances in these cases brought up the incidental discussion of the relation the courts bear to charity pleas. A general discussion of the case was started and the audience finally voted to refer one case to the board of children's guardians and to leave the other case until developments of this week give more evidence om which to act. iSET ASIDE APPEAL FOR TRACTION AID Complying with the request of Eugene B.
