There, are 21 members of the force, including the chief. The board will advise, however, only an increase of three patrolmen : at the present time. If council makes ' an appropriation for the salaries for ; three more officers, the police board 'will at once appoint them," said ' Eversman. . "It is important that day traffic offleers be stationed at the Intersection jof North Eighth, North E and Ft. Wayne avenues, at Seventh and Main , streets and at Ninth and Main streets. Traffic in these business centers has been running amuck entirely too long 'It is high time to establish some control over it." Four Men on Beats. Only five officers are now on the day force, and one is on ixed post at 1 Eighth and Main streets. That means four men to patrol for twelve hours each day an entire city of 27,000 population. The police board believes that at i least two more patrolmen. In addition 'to three new traffic officers, should be provided for the day force; that a night police chauffeur should be appointed and that three detectives be added to the night force. President Eversman also : pointed out today the lack of incentive offered police officers to remain on the force. "We have valuable men who have terved many years on the force, but who receive no larger salaries than men who have been connected, with the department for only a few months

or days," he said. "That,, and the fact that the salary of a patrolman is now only $75 a month, are reasons why we "nave experienced much trouble lately In getting high class men for the service. I think a graduated salary arrangement should be provided, whereby an officer would automatically receive an Increase each five years of his service, with a maximum salary of $100 a month for patrolmen. Under such an arrangement we would have no difficulty in attracting high class men to the service."

some houses the men . represented themselves as insurance agents, at other homes as solicitors for a photograph enlargement concern. No one was at home In the two - residences which were robbed. ' At the home of D. D. Fraoman, 645 South E street, $2 was taken. The bouse was entered through an open door. An. open door also permitted robbers to enter the home of C. E. Arrowsmith, 136 South Seventh street. There the thieves obtained a sunburst breastpin, containing sixty pearls and one diamond, valued at $50, a ladies' hunting case gold watch and a savings bank containing a small amount of money. One of the men the police are looking for is tall, wears a blue suit and has a smooth face. The other man Is of medium height, wears a dark blue suit, a soft, dark brown hat and a well worn pair of tan shoes. They have not been located.

CITY DECLINES TO CONSIDER DUNCAN PLAN

If the Indiana public utilities com

mission imagines the city of Richmond will enter into an agreement to provide the Richmond City Water Works company with additional revenue to forestall the establishment of a readiness-to-serve charge for sprinkler systems then the commission has "another think coming." This ..was made -plaiatoday by statements of Mayor Robbins and President Bavis of the board of public works. They were commenting on a letter written by Fred B. Johnson of Indianapolis to local clients who are opposing a rental charge for sprinkler

systems. Indicates Probable Course.

In his letter Johnson indicated that the commission did not accept the

plea of the Water Work company that

it was entitled to approximately $10,000 additional revenue annually, but believed the company should have at least $3,500 more revenue. Johnson reported that the commission probably would eliminate a sprinkler charge, providing the city would provide this additional $3,500 revenue through the installation of additional street hydrants and by paying a rental charge for twenty-nine intermediate hydrants hydrants installed by private concerns for extra fire protection. "The suggested agreement Is ridiculous," said Mayor Robbins. "It will no be considered. There is-no more reason to-pay for these-intermediate hydrants than there is to pay the Water Works company a service charge for sprinkler systems, and the city needs no more street hydrants." City May Take Appeal. President Bavis indicated that if the commission provided any additional revenue for the water work company the order would be appealed to the courts. "The Water company is receiving all the revenue it is entitled to," Bavis declared. "Mr. Johnson's letter shows the commission does not believe

the Water company is entitled to more than $3,500 additional revenue, which is $500 less than the company lost last year, through an exceptionally rainy season, when it pumped forty million gallons less that it would have under normal conditions. Does the commission expect the city and citizens to reimburse the company every time it has a poor season?"

tion to Prichard, the Rev. Mr. Chalen said this morning.

"The Law and Order league has

been free in expressing its opinion tha

Prichard was not earning' his money," the Hagerstown minister explained this morning.

Clarence Steward was voted through as a successor to Prichard and he will only receive $40 a month for his services. He will only be required to serve of .evenings, Saturday afternoons, and all day Sunday. He will be permitted to keep his position with the Teetor-Hartley motor company.

Stewart's election was opposed by

Harry Stoltz, president of the council. The new marshal was voted through

by the other three members, Tom and

Ashley Allen and William Tague.

Stewart was an active worker in the

recent local option election and was a

dry sheriff. Citizens Attend Council.

The councilmen who vated for him

last night are dry men and the man who opposed him is usually considered

as being a sympathizer with the wet

forces. The council meeting was largely attended by citizens and Harry Stoltz made an extended speech of criticising the citizens for interfering with the work of the council. This speech was answered by William Stahr for the citizens who said that he believed it the perfect right of the people to know what their officers are doing and to criticise them if they do not perform their designated

IduHes.

There is a possibility of a political

struggle in England in the naming of

the successor to Lord Kitchenor as

secretary of state for war. It Is prob

able that General Sir William Robertson, present chief of staff will continue to act in that capacity, under a civilian head. Viscount Milner prominently mentioned as the successor to Kitchener, is an empire builder. Born in 1854, he devoted himself to journalism under Morley and Stead, and began his public career under Lord Goshen.- As governor of the Cape of Good Hope during the Boer war, he was bitterly criticised by the Liberals for the part he played with Chamberlain and Cecil Rhodes. As a testimony to his work in South Africa he was presented with an address in 1006 signed by over 370,000 names. Like Asquith, Milner is a Balliol man.

Thre' only one direction In Rich-' mon today, and that is toward North Nineteenth street- The very air spells circus for during the early hours of morning several trainloads of happiness reached the city via the Pennsylvania railroad, and like the Arabs of old, a veritable city of tents were soon wafted to the breezes. Hardly had the cars been "spotted in the yards until a multitude of souls poured forth; souls from many

climes and all with a certain work to perform. Of course; the unloading process came first, and to the delight of the small boy, the kagons and canvascovered cages all labeled "dangerous," began' rolling off the cars, and were hurried away to the circus ground one after another. To the younger generation keen disappointment was felt when it was learned that Jess Willard and Frank Gotch were still sleeping peacefully In their private cars and could not be

viewed by the multitudes. However, the pleasure of seeing ten lumbersome elephants accompanied by "Little Miracle," the only baby elephant ever born to live in the United States, march majestically from the cars, was a sight long to be remembered and made up, in a way, for the disappointment of not seeing their idolsr-Willard and Gotch. On the circus grounds everything was hustle and bustle. However, a noticeable feature was the quiet manner In which the work was accomplished. All tents were in the air by 9 o'clock and preparations for the street parade were on the way. A bugle call was

sounded, and one by one the wagons j and cages began pouring forth from

the menagerie tent and every possible direction, falling into their regular place in line. Fully two miles in length it wended its way through the business district

and probably was the finest seen here in tecent years. Sells-Floto may well feel proud of their horses, for better ones were never seen on Richmond's streets. Horses were not the only feature, though, for beautiful tableau wagons, floats, etc., filled with ladies, were drawn by elephants and camels, and one noticeable feature was that of two elephants drawing a huge cannon, thus demonstrating a new mode of labor-saving during these strenuous days of war. Two performances will be given today, at 2 and 8 p. m. Doors open one hour earlier in order to give everybody an opportunity to visit the large menagerie, ostrich farm and toyland.

Recent dispatches from Pekin said that President Yuan was very ill and subsequent reports indicated that he was a victim of poison. These " reports were officially denied, however.
