IVIAN MARTIN, PALLAS-MOROSCO STAR ON THE PARAMOUNT PROGRAM. A telegram from the late Charles Frohman received by little Vivian Martin while reciting a piece In Sunday school marked the beginning of this ropular artist's career. That Is to say, the telegram was sent to Vivian's mother who hurried to Sunday school to take her little daughter on a sudden journey which necessitated quick action. The famous manager had seen Vivian in several amateur school playa and at his first opportunity sent for her tobecome a professional artist. In the title role of "Peter Pan" and supported by an all children cast Miss Martin met with instantaneous success. Her success in "Peter Pan" made her much sought after by managers to portray child parts.

When she deserted the stage for the screen, the former institution lost ono of it3 important factors. In photoplays she has become widely popular and as a rallas-Morosco star on the Paramount Program she has a particularly bright future in view.

BROTHERHOOD NOT HOSTILITY

REFI

ORIS mm

"Brotherhood of all men is the one essential principle of Christianity out of which all our social service grows," said J. Gernard Walton at the meeting of Friends in the North A street meeting house last night. "In prison reform, the new method of dealing with the criminal, as typified in Thomas Mott Osborne's work at Sing Sing, is to believe in the man. If you put confidence in even the most hardened criminal, the man' in him will respond. The old method of punishment which sought to get even with the convict in proportion to the harm he had done is gone. Our object is now to reform him and make him a useful citizen. What the City Needs. "Every up to date city needs these things in its penal system; a children's court, place of detention for children separate from adults, separate jail for women and men, farm colony for treatment of tramps and chronic drunks, indeterminate sentence and follow up work for men on parole. "The same principle of brotherhood is what is needed in charity. The human touch often helps more than material relief. A sense of brotherhood will give us justice which is what we want rather than charity."

GAS HEARING GOMES TO EN!

INDIANAPOLIS. N Juno 22. Ths hearing of the petition of the Richmond Light, Heat and Power company to Increase its rates before the public service commission ended today. With the commission now rests the decision of whether the Richmond company can increase its rates to 70 cents a thousand feet for gas.

The officials of the company were apparently well satisfied with the hearing.

GAS RATE HEARING

BROUGHT TO CLOSE: i MUST FILE DRIEFS

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., June 22. THe Richmond gas hearing before the Public Service Commission was concluded at noon today. Chairman Duncan suggested to the attorneys that their j briefs, to be filed later, be devoted to a di6cuselon of the proposition of how . to dispose of the non-operative arti- j ficial plant rather than to the valua-; tion question. The city Insists that the idle artificial plant, which has not been used since the Introduction of natural ga6, is not "used and useful property" and, therefore, should not be a charge against the public, while the company urges that the artificial plant is held for an emergency and is, therefore, useful. The company attorneys stated today that they will attempt to complete their brief by July 1. The city attorney of Richmond will be given fifteen days after the filing of the company's brief in which to file his reply brief. Chairman Duncan said that a decision would be possible by August 1, uless the company delays the filing of its brief. Engineer Gus Taylor, a witness for the city, testified this morning. He fixed the present value of the gas property, including the artificial plant at $390,000 and the present value of the natural gas property alone at $303,000. Engineer Garman of the commission, also a witness today, fixed the present value, including a portion of the artificial gas property, at $408,165. City Attorney Bond expressed confidence at the conclusion of the hearing today that the company had failed to show that it was entitled to have its rates increased to as much as 70. as it demands.

Bernard Wallon at the Meeting of Friends in the North A Street church last night, John Melpolder, general secretary of the Social Service Bureau, said that the juvenile court should be more active. He said that its duties and powers should be expanded. He also said that it was wrong to include insane women and children in the Home of the Friendless.
