JUNIOR CLUB TRIES

MEMBER ON CHARGE OF BEATING LOEHR

High School Lads Find Wil

liam Dean Guilty and Refuse to Listen to Insanity. A large crowd attended the mock

I, trial given by the Junior Commercial

ciuo at me nign school library last

evening. It wai one of the cleverest "exhibitions" In this line ever attempted at high school. William Dean

as the prisoner, charged with assault an battery on "Ikee" Loebr was exceptionally good. At one time "Bill" became so excited that he mounted the table and "demanded Justice." Ralph Nicholson and Julius Tletz, attorneys for the defendant were also

very good and at one time It was thought necessary to take Tleti out of the room. After the judge gave the instructions the jury went out and after a period of ten minutes returned a verdict of guilty. The prisoner made a motion for a new trial and entered a plea of Insanity. The state was left to prove his sanity, and after a short time fail

ed, however. "Following is the list of

those who took part in the "case." Judge Windsor Harris, prosecuting

attorney, Al Laning; attorneys for defendant, Ralph Nicholson and Julius Tietz; defendant, William Dean; plaintiff, 'Edgar Loehr; sheriff.

Vaughn Chamness. There were twelve members on the jury and Clarence Porter acted as foreman.

ADVISE VISITATION

CAMPAIGN IN CITY

Members of the International Tour

ing party which visited Richmond yesterday, were strong in their encouragement of a home visitation campaign to be conducted in the intersts of all the

Sunday schools of all faiths in the city.

As a result it is probable that such a campaign may-be arranged this spring

under the direction of some able leader.'

MERCHANT'S SECTION NAMES V. M. PENNY

W. M. Penny wai nominated as president of the retail merchants' section at a meeting of the nominating committee today. Other officers named are Fred Kennedy, vice president; Edgar F. Hlatt, treasurer, and E. M. Haas, secretary. The board of directors named Is Philip Blrck, John F. Hasemeler, Lon Kennedy, O. P. Nusbaum and M. J. Qulgley. The nominating committee, which consists of Lee B. Nusbaum, J. F. Hornaday and C. W. Jordan, expects the coming year to see a renewal of activities in the merchants section. A meeting for the election of officers will be held tomorrow night. H. C. Hasemeier, whose name was placed on the board of directors, will retire as resident. W. M. Penny, who replaces him, has been vice president E. M. Haas Is named as secretary In place of C. W. Jordan. Edgar F. Hlatt has been treasurer of the organization. JONES IS WILLING TO HIRE UNION MEN "I am not unwilling to give the labor union men an opportunity to work on the county roads, if they can get to the seat of operations," said Highway Superintendent Jones after hearing of the action of the Central Labor Council in preparing a remonstrance against the use of prison labor. "As for prison labor, I would be saved much trouble if I did not use the prisoners. But I consider that the work done by the prisoners Is work which would be left undone if the county had to pay for it." Auditor Bowman said today a stone pile at the county jail had been figured on by the county commissioners in the past, but would not . work out dollar for dollar. The only advantage to the county would be in inflicting additional punishment, he said.

BOARD BEGINS PROCEEDINGS

TO IMPROVE SHERIDAN STREET

Acting under the instructions of

Mayor Robbins, the board of public

works today initiated proceedings for the paving of Sheridan street, Fairview, and South West Third street from Main street to National avenue.

These two streets are regarded the worst in the city by the mayor.

, A concrete pavement can be placed

on Sheridan street, the mayor says.

to conform with the requirements of the state law, which specifies that no improvement which costs more than fifty per cent of the assessed valuation

of abutting property. He favors a

brick pavement for South West Third street, but the decision a3 to the kind

I of paving, of course, rests with the

resident property owners.

Reason for Improvement. "When a street gets in such a con

dition as Sheridan street is in, that people absolutely can not ride bicycle s en it, it is time to provide a permanent improvement. Sheridan street is one of our most used streets, too," tho

mayor said.

The board today confirmed the reso

lution for cement sidewalks on Center

street, despite the. remonstrance of the G. R. & I. railroad. A resolution for the improvement of South Twenty-second street from A to B street

was modified to provide a gravel roadway, cement curbs and gutters and walks. It had been originally intended to macadamize the street, but prop-' erty owners objected. The remonstrance against the resolution for a concrete roadway in the alley between South Seventh and Eighth streets from A to B street was overruled and the resolution confirm

ed A remonstrance against 1 cutting

down, putting in a sanitary sewer and

providing a concrete paving in the alley from Seventh to Eighth street from C to E street was entered. Action was deferred pending further investigation.
