DAVIS EXPLAINS MISTAKES MADE BY KLEINKNECIIT

Diacrepencles revealed in figures presented before the public utilities commission by Superintendent Kleinknecht of the municipal electric plant will not affect the status of the city's case or influence the commission in its final decision. This is the belief of Alfred Bavie, president of the board- of works, who attended the hearing yesterday. Klelnknecht testified that the operating expense percentage was 31.5 of the revenue. Calculations of Chairman Duncan and Attorney Beasley for the L. H. and P. company, showed the expenses were slightly under 40 per cent. This, Mr. Bavis said, Included payment for 4,000 tons of coal which had not been used and other items. Figures which Mr. Bavis had compiled erred, he said, on the side of conservatism, as he had placed the per cent at about 45. In view of these things, which were detailed to the commission, Mr. Bavis does not believe the grilling given Klelnknecht and his failure to stand up under it will have any weight in bringing about a decision unfavorable to the city.

RIDE OVER STREETS IN DECORATED GAR ON WEDDING TOUR

A. new craft was used by David G. A hit ton and his bride of a few days in their embarkation upon the matrimonial seas when they were occupants of reserved seats on a summer street car In a honeymoon tour of Richmond streets conducted under the auspices of friends of Whitton Wednesday night. The seaworthy vessel was headed by a tug boat. The passengers and crew were all the employes of the street car company with which Whitton is employed as a motorman. The newlyweds were given a real surprise when the liner steamed down Lincoln street and anchor was dropped in front of the little home, in which they eo recently took up their abode. They were told to get aboard and the gangplank was lowered. After Mr. and Mrs. Whitton had registered a passengers, the liner got under way and every foot of street car rail in Richmond was covered in the tour which followed. The singing of the ship's crew in which "It's a Long, Long Way to Tipperary" reigned is the most popular selection, was a reature of the journey. T&e vessel was becomingly, decoratsd ' with a banner and other "signs all jf them announcing the accuracy of Cupid's aim. The nuptial knot was

tied a few days ago in Rushville, the

home of the bride.

TRAILS BODY MEETS

Chairman of committees will be present and will appoint committee members and otherwise complete the organization. The call is issued by Alph Haisley, president, and A. L. Baldwin, chairman of the ways and means committee.

MAKER GETS BLAME FOR SHORT MEASURE

Merchants are not altogether to blame for using measures which are

not up to the standard, said Inspec-1 tor McKinley today. Manufacturers send out new measures which are i many ounces short. Dealers buy j these and use them to fill their cus-;

tomers' orders, many times without knowledge that they are short until the inspector tests them. While the law requires that each measure used shall bear stamped on . . . . . i j. : - J . 1 , -1

u tne amount u is suipuseu iu uum, i Mr. McKinley says most of them are i not thus labeled. Whether to start a ! crusade and confiscate all such measures or not is puzzling him. He feels j that in many cases this would prove; an injustice to the grocer whose meas-1

ures are standard out were nor. stamped by the manufacturer. He will take no definite action before autumn.

BALLOONS CAUSE FIRE

Overzealous patriots have begun to explode fireworks in anticipation of the Fourth of July, and have been sending up balloons. Balloons are held by Fire Chief Miller to be the most dangerous form of fireworks, as they fall while burning. Chief Miller said most of Richmond's Fourth of July fires in the last few years had been caused by the falling balloons. Few fires can be traced to Skyrockets, Roman candles and other explosives.

CATCHES BUTTERFLY.

Al Brown, janitor of the court house yesterday caught an unusual specime nof butterfly in the Horticulture room of that building. The butterfly has beautifully colored wings which measure from tip to tip at least five inches. The butterfly's body is about one inch long.

POSTPONE MEETING.
