ACTIVITIES

An a result of a nation-wide' campaign waged by the Friends Peace committee, letters and telegrams are being sent from every state, urging congressmen to oppose any further inrrrtiHe in army and navy. Allen D. Hole stated today that the campaign of education was progressing continually, and that an attempt was being made to prevent over preparedness. The navy bill, especially, is being opporrd by Friends as much greater than la needed.

EXPECTS TO USE GUNS

Captain Paul Comstock stated today that although none of the organizations which had been called upon to furnish Springfield rifles for the drill f-qund had made any response, he believed that a sufficient number of puns could be obtained.

City Statistics

One detachment of the First. Squadron of the First New York Cavalry rolled into Richmond at noon today, composed of ninety-four "rookies" recruited in Brooklyn, and proud as peacocks because Captain Anthony Fiaie, noted Arctic explorer and boon companion of Theodore Roosevelt was In the headquarters coach at the rear of the. train. ' Fiale was Roosevelt's . companion on the South American trip of exploration which put an "unknown" river on the map. Captain Fiale, so one of the. officers said, is wearing a watch into the-Mexican campaign which once belonged to Teddy. Be that as It may, Captain Fiale remained unknown to the crowd at the station, and the. "rookies" were too busy talking to the girls to care about the watch. A card game kept the officer in headquarters coach. The detachment had the "greenest" bunch of troopers that had passed through Richmond. Few of them had a coat of tan, and one of the officers

remarked that they would be whipped Into shape when they got down on the Rio Grande. ;The boys were in good spirits and showed all sorts of appreciation for the postal cards that were distributed among them. A hastily recruited glee club entertained the crowd with martial songs. Col. Charles. I. DeBevoise accompanied the squadron. Major Mortimer D. Bryant, commanding the. Second Squadron of ' New. York cavalry , and Adjutant C. H. K. Blauvelt were the other officers with the train. Only a few horses were with the train, most of the animals following on the next section. A motor truck for transport purposes and an automobile for headquarters were ort the train... The "rookies" had decorated 'the sides of the cars with all sorts of statements regarding their avowed purpose toward the Mexicans. They mixed freely with the crowd and left the cars at will, something none of the other troops passing through the city have done.

Officers George M. Little and Elmer Stephenson, killed in .battle with a desperado early today, were among the most popular members of the police department, and numbered among the picked rnen of Richmond's "finest." .

and Firemen's Life Insurance company. Incidentally the widows" will each receive from the city, for a period of three hundred weeks, almost six years,

55 per cent of their husband's salary each month, under the terms of the workmen's compensation act. The ity carries its own compensation insurance, and Officers Little and Stephen

son are thp first city employes who have met their death in the perform

ance, of their duties since the enact

ment of the compensation law. Each will receive $41.25 a month, but each has two. minor children to support. Officer Little's two children are almost of age. Stephenson's little ones are agod 3 and 6. Mrs. Littlo will receive death benefits from- three lodgeB, the Red- Men, Odd Fellows and Eagles. Mrs. Stephenson will receive a death benefit from the Knights of Pythias.

Gave Employer No Word.

Schwerin, who Is employed with the E. G. Hill company, left his work four days ago without giving his employer any notice whatever that he had intended to leave. He said nothing to friends and relatives that would indicate his intention of leaving the city. Since his parents left last Saturday evening, Schwerin had been staying at the home in Charles Avenue. An investigation of the home showed that young Schwerin had made no preparations for quitting the city. The doors of the house were not locked. Schwerin Is well known and popular in Richmond. It is understood his relations with his parents and local relatives has been most amicable. Schwerin was formerly employed at the city light plant. LITTLElonoeRY OFFICERS ARE DEAD

" ' ' - I .All police officers were wearing! black ribbons today under their!

shields as a tribute to their two mur-1

dered comrades. "What's it mean?" inquired a chubby youngster of a policeman, pointing' to the mourning badge. . "It means rthat two brave fellows who wore the blue have passed along," replied the officer, very gravely, with

4 tears in his eyes.

-"I'm awfully sorry," said the boy, reflecting the sentiment of all Richmond.

When William Longman, a suspended officer of the Richmond police department, appeared before the board of police commissioners at their regu lar meeting last night and made a frank confession that he had been in the wrong frequently in his conduct as a police officer, promising future strict obedience of orders, the board withdrew its request for Longman's resignation and reinstated him as a member of the force. Longman will resume his duties tonight.

Cuts Overhead Out of Selling Price Furniture dealers all over the country are. finding the Smith Form-a-Truck . such an economical form of delivery that they can mark down the retail prices on the goods they sell through effecting a saving in their delivery costs. ... .... .' . ...... It is the first completely guaranteed one ton truck on which the cost of oper-; ation can be safely set at four cents a ton mile or less. And the original investment is: "- only $350 and the price of any Ford chassis less than half the original cost of any '

other guaranteed one ton truck. Competition in the furniture business is severe. Every possible saving must be made in order that the retail price may be one which will enable you to successfully meet all forms of competition. . The average delivery department shows greater possibilities of reducing overhead than any other department in the business. The reason is many furniture dealers have put up with expensive horse drawn ser- . vice rather than take the risk of buying heavy over sized trucks too large and too expensive for economical service. The Smith Form-a-Truck relieves all this i difficulty, and it costs less than a good pair of horses and a wagon-does its work four times as fast and four times as well increases the radius of . delivery from thirty to sixty per cent and is large : enough to carry , the biggest loads .you will ever deliver. - . - ' V i The Smith Form-a-Truck" is a rear end.-., attachment which fits over the frame of any Ford car. The frame of the Smith Form-a-Truck attachment is channel steel, section four inches deep. It gives a 125 ;

inch wheelbase and a nine foot loading ; space back of the driver's seat The drive system is double side chain type with rear axle of the Ford as jackshaft Tires are solid Firestone truck type 32x3!. Any two men can: install a Smith Form-a-Truck attachment on a; Ford chassis in a few. hours. - . Special Lubrication Feature " ?
