ARNOLD TOLD

NOT TO BUILD ON BRIDGE SITE

I. 6. Arnold, who has completed plans tor the construction of a residence on the corner of South Seventh and G streets, was advised today by the , board, of public works not to begin the construction work for the lime being, as condemnation proceedings for the widening of South G street from Fifth to Eighth streets were to be instituted at once by the board. South G street has been selected

as the sight for the south end bridge. i G street between Fifth and . Eighth streets is now only forty feet wide and ' lL . - .j .

seventy feet. The Arnold lot, which

fronts on Seventh street, has" a width

of forty feet and it may be necessary to take as much as twenty feet off this lot, in which event it could not be used

for building purposes. Prof. Charles of Earlham college,' chairman of the executive committee in charge of the Shakespearian Pageant, "to be held on Earlham campus, May 20 appeared before the board today - and was assured that the city government would do everything in its power to promote the success of the affair.

LOCAL WORKMEN EAT VEGETABLES IN LARGE AMOUNTS

TICKET SALE OPENS FOR JOINT RECITAL BY 3 ORCHESTRAS

The average earning power of workmen in Richmond is comparatively small, ; according to the report to be made by Prof. J. L. Randall, head of

the agricultural division of the industrfel survey, although this is counter-

j acted by a lower cost of living in

i Richmond, as compared with larger

! cil ic. "

1 His investigation has shown that it

-;o3ts the average Richmond family ap- ! -r atElv StHO a year for vegetables. ! T'n less the income of a workman the ; icre vegetables sre bought in comparrn r ith other foods, he said today, i Fcr thij reason, he believes a further ' rlevelopment of the home garden plan '(will save the citizens of Richmond

thousands of dollars a year. It has been found in other cities, according to his report, that home gardens will save several months' salary.

JONES EVOLVES PLAN OF OILING

COUNTY ROADS

Wayne county "macadam roads, probably will be oiled this summer. This was tjie decision of Superintendent Jones, head of , the road department, who estimates the cost of oiling the roads at $1,500, including the purchase of an oiling machine.

Mr. Jones believes macadam' roads, of which there are nine miles in this county, can be oiled for $105.60 a mile. It would, be necessary to purchase an oiling machine, which would cost $500. Mr. Jones, however said that the machine could be rented to the city and to near-by towns. Hagerstown. has already asked the road superintendent permission to use the oiling machine. An arrangement may be made between the city . street department and the county road' department to buy an oiler jointly. County Commissioners Cheeseman and Seaney are in favor of oiling the macadam roads, they said Saturday afternoon. They are opposed, . however, to appropriating more money for the raod work, and If the oiling is done it will have to be out of the appropriation of $40,000 for the road department., Because of the excellent condition of the county roads, Mr. Jones believes that the upkeep this summer will not be as expensive as in former years.

DENY BRITISH SHIP THREATENED TEXAS

WASHINGTON, May 8. Navy department officials today flatly denied the the British battleship 'Vancouver, t retened to fire upon the United

States battleship Texas last October or that any British ship threatened to fire upon any American battleships. They also denied that Captain John Hood, of the Texas, ever reported to the department that he had cleared his decks for action against a British vessel. -

TRUCK AXLE BREAKS DUMPING BALL TEAM

AIR BRAKE STRIKERS RETURN TO FACTORY

PITTSBURG, May 8. The strike of 4,500 employes of the Westinghouse Air Brake company collapsed today when 4,000 men and women went to

work at the Wilmerding plant this morning. Negotiations for settlement of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing company strike continued today with the ranks of the strikers unbroken. The plant will be thrown open tomorrow morning, however, and it is believed so large a number of employes will return to work.

The automobile transfer wagon owned by Everett Haisley and run.by Von Crocker met with a peculiar accident Sunday afternoon when returning with a load of Rexall baseball players after a game at i,ewisville. , The automobile collided with a large touring car near Gettysburg, on the National road east, but no apparent damage was done. The car was driven on several yards farther when the front axle tclliysod. No one was injured but all the players were thrown out. By the time the damage was discovered, the large touring car had disappeared over a hill.

ASKS FOR DIVORCE.

COLUMBUS, Ind., May 8. Mrs

Clara Van Gen Ende was today grant

ed a , divorce from her husband,

realthy sales manager for W. W. Mooney and sons. He did not contest the case. In her petition Mrs. Van Gen Ende, who is a social-leader here, alleged infidelity and demanded ali-

money of $8,000 and a monthly allowance of $250. She named Mrs. Jeanette Rost Harris, a widely known singer, as a corespondent.

commttteeat the annual convention of the Travelers' Protective association at Kokomo. The convention, without a dissenting vote, adopted a resolution favoring universal surage.

Board members searched their memories and could not recall that the company had been given such a franchise by the council or that the company had ever asked the consent of the board. The city attorney advised the investigation of the matter "If the company acted without authority the board can order the pipe line removed and, in my opinion, the company could be held liable for any damages which might have been done," Bond added. The resolution for the improvement of the alley was confirmed.

Continued From Page One. declare that the expedition how on the way to the scene of the latest outrage will pursue the bandits no matter where they may try to flee. Although the officials of the de facto government have insisted tfiat this latest raid was entirely the work of Villistas, there are many men here who do not take this view of the matter. The Carranzista forces who have been operating in Mexico across from the Big Bend country are not seriously anti-American. Troops Pursue Bandits. It was in this section that earlier outrages took place which caused the massing of troops at Brownsville. At the war department it was stated today that General Funston already has reported a force 350 troops in pursuit of the bandits, and others will be sent to the scene as soon as posible. Officials were fearful of other out

rages on the Texas border. It was pointed out at the war department that there are a dozen points along the border where conditions parallel those at Glen Springs, and with the small forces at his disposal it is almost an impossibility for General Funston so to align his troops as to provide the adequate guard that is needed. Because of this army officers were urging today that the coast artillery available be organized as infantry and sent to the border along with the selected units of the national guard that already have been tentatively chosen for service when the president decides that their services are needed.

WENGER GOES EAST TO RETURN RUBIN

Roy Wenger, a Richmond police officer, was in Albany, N. Y., today for the purpose of presenting to the governor of New York a requisition for the custody of David Rubin, signed by Governor Ralston of Indiana. Rubin is held in New York city for the local authorities. He is charged with having issued a check for $15.75, without having funds in the bank. Wenger will probably arrive in Richmond with his prisoner some time Wednesday.

BELIEVE YOUNG

'Continued From Page Onel entertainment that evening, she having decided to return to her home in Milton -to spent Saturday and Sunday. It is said that Edwards knew that Russell Wilson was to be in Milton at that time. Questioned today as to the authenticity of the report that she was engaged to Russell Wilson. Miss Jones said that she had "absolutely no statement to make," She said she had no information which would shed any light on Edwards' disappearance. She expressed her displeasure because her name had been brought into the case. Planned His Departure. There is not the slightest doubt that Edwards carefully planned hir unannounced departure from the college. Some time before leaving he transferred his correspondency with an Indianapolis newspaper to another student and secured a settlement for his services as a correspondent. Then he

withdrew his savings from an Indian-1

apolis bank, about $20, drew his wages from the college as a laboratory storekeeper and balanced his accounts with a college organization, of which he was treasurer, transferring the funds to another member of the organization. If Edwards ever had any intention of going to Canada to enlist in the army, he kept it a close secret. The, fact that he took very little of his clothing and other personal belongings confirms many in the belief that he did go to Canada to enlist.- They point out

that he would have very little use for i

civilian clothing if he joined the army.-i

Edwards' parents are said to be almost distracted over the action of their son, and have almost abandoned hope of hearing from him. No one accepts the theory that the young man committed suicide.
