THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM MONDAY, MAY 3, X915

GLUB HOSPITALITY TO CLEVELANDERS WILL BE LIMITED The Commercial club will not entertain the Cleveland boosters tomorrow, President John Nicholson said late this afternoon, after awaiting a telegram In which the club asked the Cleveland organization if the members desired entertainment during "the five hours they are here. The boosters are scheduled to arrive at 10 o'clock tomorrow mornlnf on a special train and will leave at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Business men have brought pressure to bear on the club to have the boosters entertained while here in the belief that the Cleveland merchants and manufacturers expect to be guests of Richmond in the same manner as Richmond club members have been guests of other towns on the one-day Commercial club automobile booster trips. "There will be a committee to meet the train," said Mr. Nicholson. "We will offer them courtesies to the extent of using the club rooms tomorrow. They are living oq the train and eat there, so I think it would be foolish to tender them a noon luncheon." William M. Bailey of the Richmond Home Telephone company found that the public utilities commissions of Indiana and Ohio would not permit long distance service from Richmond to Cleveland from the private train, but Mr. Bailey will have a local telephone in the train as soon as it arrives, with directories, so the boosters can locate merchants without trouble.

NAMES COMSTOCK AS CIRCUIT JUDGE Daniel W. Comstock was today commissioned by Judge Fox to act as special circuit court judge. Judge Fox is Indisposed and will remain at his home for a few days until he feels strong enough to stand the heavy drill of cases. Big cases this week are Jessie Stevens against the T. H. I. and E. Traction company for $3,000 damages and Harriet E. Cory of Denver, against Alfred Underhill for quiet title on land which Underhill foreclosed a mortgage recently. COURIER CARRIES AUSTRIA'S REPLY BY BRIXON D'ALLAIRE. ROME, May 3. A special courier, bringing Austria's answer to Italy's final representations, is expected to arrive from Vienna tonight, although the Austrian note will not be read by the foreign office until Tuesday. Thus the possibility exists that the Italian government may know within the next forty-eight hours whether it is to be peace or war. The speech of Premier Salandra at the Quarto celebrations is eagerly awaited, as it is expected to contain clear allusions to Italy's attitude toward Austria and Germany, and the means which will be employed to realize Italy's national aspirations. Prince Von Buelow against visited Foreign Minister Sonnino, his visit starting the usual war and peace rumors?. 100 SALOONS CLOSED CHICAGO, May 3. During the last week 100 saloons in Chicago have been closed. High rents, poor trade, the heavy expense of free lunch and the constant talk that Chicago may go dry in five years were said' to have been the combined causes. Four of the closed saloons were in the loop district. Their going out. of business reduces the city revenue from licenses $100,000. RENEW LICENSES.

Wrecked house in Maldon, photographed ' - BOARD RENEWS MOVE TO TEST TRACTION RATE After receiving a contrary report from the county attorney and deciding to-drop the matter, the board, of county commissioners late today renewed their efforts to test the right of the T. H., I. and E. Traction company to violate the terms of its franchise and increase the rates from one and twothird cents a mile to two cents a mile. County Attorney Hoelscher was called in to give the commissioners his opinion on the best method to be used in bringing the case into court. Mr. Hoelscher declared it will be a futile attempt of the board to have county power supercede the power of a state body. He said the best way if the commissioners insist, is to secure an injunction preventing the traction company from operating cars on Wayne county highways and over county bridges on the grounds that the traction company is violating the terms of the franchise by increasing the rates. It is now a question as to whether a franchise exists. The twenty-five year franchise was granted in 1902, but the fact that the public utilities law rescinded all franchises held between the city and the public utilities of Richmond, throws a different light on the existence of such a contract. The commissioners said they believe they are acting in accordance with public will and sentiment in making a test case of the rate increase which went into effect yesterday. "We want to see whether those twlve or fourteen closely written pages are merely so much writing on the record or if they represent a binding agreement," said Albert Anderson, president of the board. "If the test case is unpopular we do not want to hold it, but we believe the people are looking to us for protection in the action of the traction company." CHADWICK EXPLAINS CHRISTIAN SCIENCE There will be a free lecture on Christian Science at the Gennett theatre Tuesday evening, May 4, at 8 o'clock, by Clarence W. Chadwick, C. S. B., of Omaha, Xeb. Hundreds of thousands of people in all parts of the world have been benefited physically and morally by the understanding of Christian Science, but this new-old divine law has not been'generally understood and, therefore, often misrepresented and misquoted by mankind. To present correctly this subject a board of lectureship, of which at present there are fifteen members, is maintained by the mother church at Boston, Mass. Each church is expected to give at least one of these lectures each year. Mr. Chadwick, who will lecture here Tuesday evening, is a members of this board of lectureship, and is well qualified to present this subject as it should be. LIFT QUARANTINES. EATOX, O., May 3. Quarantine restrictions were lifted Saturday from the homes of the Rev. D. R. Wilson, pastor of the United Brethren church, and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sprowl, where diphtheria had been prevalent. Mrs. Wilson was the afflicted one in the Wilson home, while a 3-year-old daughter of the Sprowl's has passed through an attack of the disease. Quarantine is still in force at the home of Mrs. Florence Sarber, where her son, Richard, aged 4, is recovering from an attack of diphtheria.

MAYOR JOINS L0D6E; OUSTED BY CHURCH COLUMBUS. Ind., May 2. Mayor H. Carl Volland was voted out of the German Lutheran church here by the congregation because he voted to retain as a church member Harmon Scheutte who recently joined the order of Moose, a secret organization. The mayor had been treasurer of the church and H. W. Fehring was elected to succeed him. H. U Rost, a wealthy jeweler and father-in-law of the mayor, also voted to retain Scheutte but he has been given two weeks in which to change his vote. WALKING IN SLEEP HE SCARES FRIEND Tom Murray, millinery salesman of Cincinnati, today is feeling the effects of an experience he had last night, according to a story told by George K. Jones, a salesman of Indianapolis, which is verified by Mr. Mitten, clerk of the Westcott hotel. Jones declares that he was awakened about three o'clock this morning by a knock on the door of his room in the Westcott and opening it saw a figur attired in pajamas of brightest hue. A sheet was draped around the shoulders of the figure, which Jones after his first gasp of amazement recognized as his friend Murray, who occupied the room above. Jones was mystified at first to account for the other's strange actions because Murray vouchsafed no explanation for the interruption. As he stood there in the doorway, Jones saw that Murray was proving himself a somnambulist and had walked in his sleep to the room of his friend with who mhe had stayed with until past midnight. LONDON SCENTS BATTLE AT SEA BY JOHN C. FOSTER. LONDON, May 3.

COUNTY TO CONDEMN PENNSYLVANIA SPAN Condemnation proceedings may be instituted soon by county commissioners against the bridge across the Chicago division of the Pennsylvania railroad on Northwest Fifth street. The bridge Is considered one of the most dangerous places in the county, j It is twelve feet wide and is approach-! ed by steep fills. Vehicles approach-' ing trom aitterent directions have no warning until they are within a few feet of each other. The bridge is the property of the Pennsylvania railroad company. The railroad company will be asked to build a bigger, wider bridge with some! arrangement by which the approaches can be made less dangerous. It is an old bridge and is said to be incapable of supporting greater weight than an automobile. A report to the commissioners said the bridge is dangerous toi automobile trucks or other heavy or heavily laden vehicles. Mrs. Meta Berger, who has been elected to the Milwaukee school board, is the wife of Victor Berger, the former Socialist representative in congress. fs LICK'S The Original HALTED MILK Unless you say "HOniiCK'S" you sstsy get a SstSsstiiutOm LYNN, FOUNTAIN CITY, and RICHMOND AUTO LINE Headquarters Knollenberg's Annex.
