DEPENDENTS' CARE OECOKES PRODlEf.1 111 WAYNE COUNTY Commissioners Ask Melpolder to Study Question From Standpoint of TaxpayerCost Amounts to $10,000. What is the solution of the problem for, the care of dependents from a tax payer's standpoint. This Is the question the county commissioners have given Secretary Melpolder of the social service bureau, to solve. The investigation starting today revealed that two institutions in which Wayne county dependents are housed are costing the taxpayers $10,000 a year. This is only for the children at White's institute, and the general pop. ulatlon of the home for friendless women. ' The expense of the county at White's Institute last year was $4,000. The home for friendfss cost the county commissioners last year $4 000; the cjty of Richmond donated its customary. $500 for coal; and reve- ' nues from c-tside sources Including donations of money, food and clothing were estimated for the year at $1,500. System Is Responsible. Secretary Melpolder said today the great expense is caused primarily by the absolute lack of system in determining of whom the Inmates of the home should consist, ratherr than by ' inefficiency on the part of the management. He refused to make any deductions before compiling lull statistics and getting the history of the institution for the past ten years. This work will be part of the task of collecting - juvenile statistics to learn the cause of the unusual number of Wayne county children in benevolent Institutions supported on a pro rata bads by various counties of the state. . According to the information which is now in hand, there are more children away from their parents In Richmond than in any other city In the state of the same population. Contributory causes are. given as the divorce court, marital troubles between parents, lack of discipline, the existence of bad Influences surrounding children, too hasty punishment and not enough discrimination in selecting ring leaders among delinquent juveniles and a number of other conditions.

ORGANIZES SAILORS TO DIG TRENCHES

LONDON, July 6. John Ward, who began, life as a navy or common laborer and is now a member of parliament and a lieutenant colonel in the army, is one of the most remarkable leaders of Great Britain in the present critical time. He has organized the Navies' Battalion, which he himself explains as follows: "This Is a diggers' war. Navies are experts in trench making and they know things about side supporting and intricate timberings that even the army has not yet thought of." Ward stands six feet two Inches tall and is broad in proportion, with the fair hair of a Viking. When he was seven years old he began work for a farmer.

RELATIVES LOOKING FOR WOMAN TAKING SAVINGS OF $2,000 vft has been four days since MrsJoseph Ralston, aged 65, living with her husband on the Liberty pike, south of the city, left home, taking with her about 12,000. representing the family savings of several years, which was to have been used to apply toward the purchase of a farm. Up to noon today no trace of the woman had been secured. Most .of the money Mrs. Ralston took had been kept in a hiding place In their home. The rest of the money was drawn from a deposit in a Richmond bank. At first members of the family believed Mrs. Ralston would be located at the home of some relatives within forty-eight hours, but these relatives, who live at various points in Indiana and Ohio have informed Ralston that they have not seen his wife. In consequence he is now inclined to accept it is said, the theory that his wife has met with foul play, although he scouted at this at first. ; Mrs. Ralston has suffered from a mental malady in the past, it is said, and has left her home before without notification. In the past, however, 6he has always been located at the home of some relatives within a short time after her disappearance. She had never before taken a large sum of money with her. The case has been reported to the police and circulars describing the womn have been sent out broadcast, but they have not resulted in establishing any clue as to the woman's whereabouts. If Mrs. Ralston is located the police doubt if they will be successful in recovering much of the money she took away with her.

ARCHBISHOP WORSE

ROCHESTER, N. Y., July 6. The. condition of Archbishop Quigley of Chicago, underwent a change for the worse at. noon today. The doctors-announced that the archbishop probably would not live throughout the afternoon.

DIG CROWD WATCHES DISPLAY AT PARK

Morton park was the center of Richmond's Fourth of July celebration last night. The greatest throng the park has held since a similar celebration a year ago, "was present to witness an unusual fire works display. The crowd packed the lower part of the park near the dance pavilion and the lake was filled with row boats and decorated canoes. ,., The fireworks celebration given by Italians who manufactured the pieces themselves, 'was distinctive. Twelve telegraph poles and several smaller poles were erected for the set pieces. Light and - color effects in unusual

shape", and figures, made a wonderful effect and the cheering and applause after some of the pieces was loud and prolonged. It was the finest fireworks

display ever shown in the city. Equal sized crowds were in Glen

Miller and Morton parka in the after

noon but last night the new summer resort was the center of attraction for

the entire city. It is estimated sev

eral thousand persons were present

A dance was held until midnight last

night. There was no program of

speaking. -

RESIDENTS BEHAVE; FIRE CREWS ENJOY PEACEFDL HOLIDAY

Just to show how really "safe and 6ane" Richmond's Fourth of July cele

bration was, inquire of Chief Miller of

the fire department. Just two small blazes, one Sunday afternoon, the other Monday evening, resulted from Independence day celebrations. Sunday afternoon some small, boys exploding firecrackers in the first alley north of Main street, between Eleventh and Twelfth streets, set fire to a trash, box. This fire was promptly extinguished with no damage to adjacent properties. Monday evening a toy balloon dropped on the roof of the barn of Street Commissioner George Knollenberg, 613 South Thirteenth street.- A few shingles were destroyed before the firemen extinguished the blaze. The national holiday was even less eventful for the police department than it was for the fire department. Not a report of misconduct on the part of any celebrator was received and there were no arrests made for

violations of the "safe and sane" ordi

nance. "The men might as well have been

off duty yesterday," remarked Chief

Goodwin today. There was absolutely no trouble and not an accident was reported to us."

INJURED IN RACE.

JANESVILLE, Wis., July 5. Ar

thur Bergstron, of Rockford, 111., was

in a dangerous condition at Mercy hospital today as the result of an acci

dent during yesterday's 100-mile automobile, race! Bergstron's Marion car

went into a ditch and turned over three times.

STEKOTYPIST MAKES

RECORD OF SPEECHES OF "OLD TRAIL" .'Ell Ruth Keogh Takes Down Complete Record of Good Roads Picnic Held at Centerville." The stenotype, which has become

popular wherever rapid, accurate dic

tation is required, was brought into

use in recording all . the addresses

which were delivered at the National Old Trails Road meeting at Center ville yesterday. The machine was operated by Miss Ruth Keogh, a former Richmond girl. v

One of the important advantages ot

the stenotype over other methods of dictation was clearly demonstrated when Miss Frances O'Brien of the

Richmond Business ' college read a number of pages of the notes which were taken by Miss Keogh on the stenotype. This shows that the notes

of one stenotyplst can be read by any one who knows stenatypy. r , The stenotype has been introduced

rapidly into the business world. Over

twentythousand machines have been sold, which certainly is a splendid record for the short time which this machine way of taking dictation has been used.

A number of young persons in Rich

mond operate this machine and are doing well with it. It is taught in about 250 business colleges in the United States and out of this number the students of the Richmond Business college, under the

instruction of Miss O'Brien, hold the

highest average grade for last year. The Stenotype company is certainly to be commended for its kindness in sending Miss Keogh to report this meeting.

SINGERS ARRANGE FOR DAY'S ODTING

Discussion of the tri-state saenger fest which will be held in Richmond next year, was made at the social session of the Maennerchor when the members met in regular meeting Sunday afternoon at the hall in the old engine house, corner Sixth and South E street. A picnic is being planned by the members, and will be held some time in August. The members ot the Maennerchor who will sing, will hold their picnic Sunday, July 11 or Sunday, July 25. A committee of five

has been appointed, to make arrange
