THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, FRIDAY, JUNE 4, 1915

VILLA PREFERS PERFECT PEACE WITJUMERICA Rebel Chief Asserts Patriotism for Mexico and His Friendship Toward People of United States.

EL PASO, Texas. June 4. A copy of President Wilson's warning to Mexico was handed to General Villa at his headquarters by George Carothers, special agent of the state department. The following telegram was received from Villa today: "I sincerely hope there will be no misunderstanding and no friction between the U. S. and the government I represent. I am not yet ready to give any opinion as to what my answer will be. First I am an patriot, second I am friend of the American people. LAREDO, Tex., June 4. Mobs numbering 10,000 starving and desperate,

have been robbing and destroying lire and property at Monterey, according to advices received here today from that city. Hungry peons and their families have attacked and looted groceries, bakeries, banks and mercantile establishments. Many persons were killed when a mob attacked an Italian shop, the proprietor killing three. WASHINGTON, June 4. Administration officials today still waited for developments in Mexico following the warning of President Wilson that the leaders restore peace to the republic promptly. The next step must be taken by the faction chiefs south of the Rio Grande and the administration is doing nothing decisive pending the receipt of definite advices. Official word has reached the state department that President Wilson's statement has been delivered to the principal Mexican leaders. Especial care was taken by the department to assure delivery of the statement to avoid excuse for undesirable actions by some of the leaders. Carranza has indicated through his agency here that he will make a strong bid for recognition by taking Mexico City and setting up a temporary government there. Villa is believed to be playing a crafty- game to win the support of this government, for it has been said for him indirectly that he will accept the prinicple of the president's proposal for a settlement between the factions.

REID RODE RAILROAD AS HIS WORKHORSE ATTORNEY TESTIFIES

WASHINGTON. June 4. The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway

company was placed in the bands of

receivers last April following an agreement between the directors and attorneys and the American Steel Foundry company of Chicago, Robert P. Lamont, president of the Foundry company, and Robert Walker, counsel for the Rock Island, testified today at the opening of the Interstate Commissions' investigation. James W. Folk, chief counsel for the commission, drew from Lamont the statement that Lamont did not question the proposal of Silas H. Strawn, his personal counsel, that the Foundry company as a creditor of the Rock Island to the extent of $15,000, sign a petition to place the road in the hands of receivers. Lamont said he assumed that Strawn was prompted by Rock Island interests. Walter testified that the bill asking the receivership was drawn in his office while he was representing the Rock Island interests and that he later handed the papers to Strawn. When Folk asked Walker who suggested the names of the receivers, the railroad attorney pleaded for immunity from indulging confidential information. When the commission said he must answer he said W. H. Moore and other Rock- Island directors made the suggestions. "Daniel G. Reid, William H. Moore and others were the dominant factors in the Rock Island property and it. was their work horse and driven as desired," said Walker, when Samuel Untermeyer, appearing as counsel for the protective committee of stockholders of the Rock Island, asked him to tell his part in connection with the application for receivership.

Improving the Lawn to Have Good Turf

The picture, taken within the past few weeks, shows the Honorable A. J. Balfour, who became civil head of Great Britain's naval affairs, vice Winston Churchill, resigned, upon the adoption of the British coalition "war" cabinet.

This, is the first of a aerie of three articles prepared by experta in the United States department of Agriculture. Problems of growing good turf, taking care of the lawn, mowing, rolling and sprink- - ling. . WASHINGTON. June 4. The im

provement of an old lawn is a very much more difficult problem than establishing a new one. In many cases it is impracticable to attempt the improvement of an old lawn that is In bad condition say the specialists of the United States department of agriculture. However, if a reasonably good turf obtains, it Is possible to better it materially by reseeding, fertilizing, and watering. In the majority of cases improvement is desired in the spring, since at this season many bare spots are in evidence as the result of the nrecprHncr winter. If the areas to

be improved are small, they can be handworked and reseeded with little difficulty. If they are large, it is ununllv Advisable to snade them up. work

thoroughly, and seed, as in the case of

starting a new lawn. Care of New Grass. When the stand of grass is thin over the entire lawn or a greater portion of it, a special seeder equipped with small disks has been found very satisfactory for cutting the seed into the sod and thereby producing favorable conditions for germination and subsequent growth. In the early spring, however, the soil is usually loose as a result of the freezing and thawing and is in sufficiently open condition to permit the seed to be covered with little difficulty. After seeding, if the

ground has become quite dry, rolling is usually beneficial. Care should be taken when mowing or watering the newly seeded areas to .avoid disturbing the young grass. This caution always applies in a measure to fall seeding, although there is not so much danger of damage in the case of the latter. Fertilizing. The management of the lawn after it is once established is an extremely important matter. Beginning in the early spring, the first thing to do is to remove with a rake the top dressing that has been applied the fall before. After removing this it is usually advisable to apply some fertilizer. One of the very best -fertilizers for the lawn in the spring is nitrate of soda, but on account of its quick action and its caustic effect extreme caution should be used in its application. Five pounds

of. nitrate of soda are sufficient for

1,000 square feet of lawn, and if ap

plied in solution with the watering pot and the grass then thoroughly watered

with a hose, there is little danger of scalding. Bone meal is probably the best commercial fertilizer to use on a lawn, considering the danger from the misuse of nitrate of soda.. Eight pounds to 1,000 square feet is a liberal application. Any commercial fertilizer that is used should be applied early in the spring when the grass begins to grow. In fact, bone meal can be used to advantage every month during the growing season, except perhaps July and August. Fertilizing through the season is especially beneficial in keeping the grass stimulated at times when it would otherwise be more or less inactive.

POLICY ON FACTORIES FIXED BY COMMITTEE

The policy of the Commercial club on inducements to factories to locate In Richmond, was framed last night by the new industries committee which decided to take each proposition separately instead of attempting the organization of an industrial financing company. The committee will take this policy before the board of directors Monday night for approval. Two prospective factories were studied but no definite conclusions were reached and a report on the prospects probably will be delayed a month. The committee members approved

the organization of an industrial financing company but decided it would be an impossible accomplishment at this time. In the futu-e, the method by which $5,000 was raised to pay part of the cost of the Richmond Underwear company's building site, will be used. This money was raised by campaign among citizens.

$5,450 Per Day Spent to Fortify Goodyear Tires

Our experts say: "If Good year tires were built like some others,our saving would be $1,635,000 per year $5,450 per day." The differe nee would hardly be visible when the tire is complete. But it would probably cost our users a million dollars monthly.

Better Still

But, instead of skimping Goodyear tires, we are building them better still. Goodyear Fortified tires, for many years, have embodied five costly features exclusive to these tires. We still employ them alL ' We spend on experts $100,000 yearly to find new betterments to add. In the

past year alone we have added improvements which cost us exceeding $500,000 per year. Lower Prices Yet Goodyear prices are constantly coming down. Our last big reduction on February 1st made three in two years, totaling 45. In view of those facts, don't you think it worth while to get Goodyears? Most men do. Goodyears have long outsold any other tire. They are selling now much faster than we can build them. Any dealer will supply you.

SMELSER DEMANDS BIRTH CERTIFICATES

Unless physicians file their birth records hereafter within the alloted time, Dr. S. G. Smelser, city health officer will prosecute, according to a statement made by him today. The health official says that one or two doctors have been derelict in their duty in this respect. The physicians are required by law to file a record within thirty-six hours after a birth. One or two physicians, according to Dr. Smelser wait two or more months before complying with the law. Violation is punishable by a fine. Dr. Smelser's report for May just compiled shows that only eighteen cases of contagious diseases are prevalent. These are, measles, five; whooping-cough, three; diphtheria, three; chicken-pox, one; smallpox, one, and scarlet fever, five. During the last month there were thirty-eight births and twenty-three deaths.
