HARBOR

RANSDELL DEFENDS

RIVER AND

BILLS IfKONGRESS Senator Delivers Annual Address as President of National Rivers and Harbors Congress at Capital. BY LEASED WIRE.l WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. "The attacks on river und harbor legislation are unfounded, practically without merit and many of them devoid of even a vestige of truth. They are purely of a destructive character and nothing constructive is suggested." This statement was made by Senator Joseph K. Itansdell of Louisiana,

In his annual address as president of the National Hivers and Harbors conpress, at the opening of its convention here today. Kansdell struck the keynote of the sessions by denouncing alleged "unfair attacks by the opponents of river and harbor appropriations. He added: "it is easy to tear down, but hard to build up." "To assert that river and harbor bills ar full of 'pork' graft and corrupt items, is to charge that the engineering corps of the army, which numbers in its ranks such men as Goethals; the members of the rivers and harbors committee of the house, and commissioners committee of senate and the majority of the senators and representatives who advocate and voted for these measures, are guilty of fraud, corruption, graft and plain stealing," he continued. "Such a slanderous accusation is false as Satan."

fice, and Albert Anderson, the oldest remaining member will take his place. Mordeeal Doddridge, who took office January 1, 1914, will become vice president. William O. Seaney is the new member. Mr. Seaney is a Democrat. The other two members are Progressives, making both a Progressive board of commissioners and county council.

Union Asks Lecturer to Tell Progress of Colored People

CATHOLICS PROTEST MENACE PERIODICAL Many Address Letters to Officials Asking Suspension of Publication. "Anti-Menace letter day" was observed in Richmond today by Catholics. Today is the day set aside by the Roman Catholic church of America to write letters of protest to congressmen, senators and other high officials of the government against permitting the publication of the Menace, an anti-Catholic paper which has a wide circulation throughout the country. A request was sent out that Catholics concentrate their efforts to have the publication suspended, but it is said the plan was not urged in Rich

mond by the St. Marys and St. Andrews church beyond the announcement. The Richmond Catholics were asked to write to Finly Gray, 13. F. Shively, J. W. Kern, President Wilson and Postmaster General Burleson. A Congressional enactment against the publication of the paper was asked from four of the officials. The postmaster general was urged to issue an order refusing to accept the Menace as mail.

Yanks and Athletics Will Change Owners

BULLETIN. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 9. Connie Mack today denied the story that he would manage the New York American League Baseball Club in 1915. "I won't leave Philadelphia" said Mr. Mack. "I am well satisfied here."

An effort is being made by the Citizens' Union to have Prof. Joel E. Springarn of Columbia university include Richmond in the itinerary of his western tour next month. Prof. Springarn is going across the country lecturing on the causes which are preventing more rapid progress by the colored people of the United States and telling what measures are being taken to remove such causes. At. the meeting of the union last night the matter was discussed at length. Should the union succeed in having Richmond included on the itin

erary of Prof. Springarn it will he

merit, and while the union is working along these lines, all other work will dropped except the plans for the Lincoln day celebration. If a favorable reply Is received from the Columbia professor the union will ask that a meeting of pupils be held in the high school, either at chapel time or in the afternoon. The big gathering will be a mass meeting which will be held at night in a large hall.

"How is Your Appetite Satisfied?" is the subject of all the noon shop meeting conducted by the religious work committee of this V. M. C. A. this week. Rev. U. S. A. Bridge, pastor of Grace M. E. church, spoke at the American Seeding Machine plant today. He presented the idea of the appetite;; of mind, body and soul. "Growth of mind and body are developed by the right kind of food," he said. "By failing to satisfy the appetite of the soul with the teachings or' Christ, we die a spiritual death. We have natural and acquired appetites, and the appetite for

BY LEASED WIRE. NEW YORK. Dec. 9. Both the New York American League club (the Yankees), and the Philadelphia American League team (the Athletics), will have new owners in 1915. This statement was made this afternoon by a man in close touch with the inner workings of the National League. The double dea lis the biggest and most important in baseball for many years. Brewer Buys Yankees. The man giving the information said: "Reports of the sale of the New York Yankees are correct. The purchase price is $450,000 and Jacob Ruppert, Jr., millionaire New York brewer, will be the principal owner. The team will be managed in 1915 by Connie Mack, the present manager of the Athletics. A Philadelphia syndicate has been formed and in two weeks the Philadelphia club will be purchased by this syndicate. "It is understood that one of the conditions insisted upon by Mr. Rup-

pert was that President Ban Johnson of the American League, who was involved In the negotiations, secure a big man for manager of the Yankees. Mack was selected. "The sale of the Athletic Is expected to take place within the next two weeks and the fact that the team is being disposed of explains the sale of Eddie Collins, a member of the famous $100,000 Infield. The present owners of the Athletics want to get all the money they can out of the club before they turn it over."

COUNTY MAY BUY FOSTER'S CRUSHER

Serious consideration is being given the offer of Contractor Foster to sell a stone crushing outfit on the Boston pike to the county road department. The price, $2,200, is considered too high, but a reduction probably would mean the purchase of the machinery. W. O. Jones, highway superintendent, said today that the price of the crusher can be saved on the construction of three or four miles of macadam road on the Boston pike. The county's last macadam road cost $11,500 a mile, and three miles can be built under the direction of the county road department for the same cost. The crushing outfit would furnish a real stone pile for prisoners. Figuring that he can work prisoners in the quarry, Mr. Jones says he can turn crushed stone into the bins for 20 cents a cubic yard. H is now paying $1 a cubic yard for stone in the car. The crusher has a capacity of 100 yards a day. Fresh supply Mrs. Austin's Bas Buckwheat now on hand at your

spiritual appetite can be cultivated by giving it the right kind of food. As a man's appetite, so is the man." Ellis M. Learner and J. J. Somer- ', ville assisted in conducting the meet- j ing. ! Rev. L. K. Murray, pastor of the I First Christian church, conducted the

meeting at the Swayue-Robinsou shop, and was assisted by Dr. A. L. Bramkamp, chairman of the religious work committee. The subject was presented there in a similar manner. About sixty men attended the meeting at each shop.

The same trouble the post office had sixteen years ago when the Spanish-American revenue stamps were issued, has started in the Richmond office. Today a number of letters collected from mail boxes were found to bear the special revenue tax stamps. None of the letters have return addresses. They will be sent to the dead letter

office unless the senders identity them or furnish the money for letter postage. The war tax stamps are invalid for mailing purposes. Letters mailed with the revenue stamps will not get beyond the mailing station. The post office department is in no way affected by the new internal revenue law.

SOCIETY TO ELECT

A meeting of the members of the Municipal Christmas Tree appointed by Mayor Bobbins Monday night will be held at the city building tomorrow night and arrangements for the celebration will be made. Today the use of the Central Christinn church tabernacle, on North Tenth street was offered the committee as a place to have the Christmas tree. There is some doubt, however, whether this building will be large enotiKh to accommodate the crowd. Committee members were considering the advisability today of having the event held at the Coliseum on the Sunday prec-eding Christmas. Some definite decision will be reached tomorrow night Sub committees are to be appointed and the work of soliciting gifts for the poor children to be placed on the big tree will start at owe

IMAGINE 30 BELOW FOR MILD WEATHER

BY W. E. MOORE. When the people of this community arise on a cold winter morning and find the temperature to 15 to 20 degrees below zero, which is not unusual for Richmond, they are liable to believe it is about as cold as they can endure. But 20 degrees or even 30

zero would seem almost of the people living in

the temperature reached t;3 degrees below zero at Poploe Kiver, Montana. In January 1SSS, the low temperature of t!5 degrees below zero was recorded at Kough, Montana. But even these low temperatures fall far short of the world's records. Northern Asia holds that title securely. At Werchojansk. Siberia, the thermometer has registered 90 degrees below zero. The average low temperature at that city in January is tiO degrees below zero, while in July the temperature rises to 85 degrees in the shade which gives a range of 175 degrees. The 1'nited States holds the record for extreme heat by virture of records

j in Southern California. At .Mammoth

Tank, Cal., in the Colorado desert the temperature of ISO degrees in the shade was recorded August 17, 18S5. In June1, 1S!H, the record was repeated in the same locality. Algeria on the border of the Sahara desert holds the other heat record with a temperature of 127 degrees in the shade.

John Thurston, who said he lived at Fowler, Ind., came into police headquarters today and after announcing that he belonged to the large army of

victims of the industrial depression j made a request that he be provided j some Tlace to bathe, j "I need a bath,'' Thurston said. "They have nearly eaten me up. I
