ASKS COMMITTEE TO TAKE UP RAILROAD LEGISLATION

WASHINGTON. Sept. 6 A program for a complete investigation of railway legislation, past, present and future, will be framed at a meeting of the Joint congressional railway investigation committee called by Senator Newland today for immediately after the adjournment of congress. Despite the desire of the committee to hasten Its inquiry the formal opening of the hearing may be delayed until the close of the presidential campaign. Representatives of the railroads of the country insist that the full membership should be permitted to hear as much of the testimony as possible and as several of the senators and all of the representatives of the investi-J gating body are candidates for reelection they will be busy with their campaigns. Senator Newland today conferred with Representative Adamson, viceFREDERICK KELLAR DIES IN CINCINNATI Frederick Kellar, 70, a former resldent of Richmond, died Monday morn ing at Cincinnati. O. His brother, Adam Kellar, makes his home in this city with his daughter, Mrs. Ed. Wilson. Three children also reside in Richmond.

The funeral arrangements have not been made. GRIFFIN IS STAR DANCE FLOOR MANAGER According to Muncie dispatches, Percy Griffin of Richmond, is a bet ter dance floor master of ceremonies than he is a baseball manager. Several weeks ago Griffin piloted a ball club to Muncie and though the team didn't score any big hits, Manager Griffin evidently did. As a result he was chosen master of ceremonies for the big ball given by a number of Muncie colored people last evening. The work of Griffin along with the music of the Oland orchestra were the features of the program, according to Richmond persons who witnessed and participated in the events. PUSH ROAD PETITIONS "We have another string to pull in case the remonstrance against our two petitions for three-mile road petitions become troublesome," John Niewoehner, chairman of the road committee, informed the members of the South Side Iprovement association last night.

ILIFF WRITES ARTICLE ON MEXICAN SITUATION

They were huddled up at a railroad station and had been two days without food or drink. He took them to the garrison and finaly got permission to send them to Vera Cruz under the fiction that they were English! The British government is feared and ivould have amply protected all foreigners in Mexico if Wilson had not said "hands off! We can take care sf our own business." Mrs. O'Shaughnessy gathered from ;he British, German, French and Spanish ministers that all of their governments had large bills for the destruction of property and life of their subjects to ultimately present to the United States. The settlement of claims growing out of our inefficiency in Mexico will be enormous. Mrs. O'Shaughnessy's book came out recently. It is full of disclosures and presents the whole story of our outrages upon Mexico and the tragic results of the awful blunders commit ted by the administration. I will quote her at random; she says: "The second telegram has just come that the President Intends in a few hours to raise the embargo on arms, and that Mr. Nelson is to inform all foreigners. I keep repeating to myself: God! God! God! A generation of rich and poor alike will be at the mercy of the hordes that will have new strength and means to fight, and eat, and pillage, and rape their way through the country." "Huerta is not the intemperate man John Lind reported him to be. I have been intimately acquainted with him and his wife and thirteen children and they will average up with the best of American families. He is not the coarse and brutal man Lind adver tised him to be and the peace and continuance of his country depended upon his recognition by President Wilson and the absolute refusal of the United States to back up and strengthen Villa and Carranza, the bandits." "A letter-bag of Zapata, the bandit, has been seized. In it was a letter to President Wilson saying that 'we uphold and are in perfect accord with his policy toward Huerta'." . "The Benton case is going to make an untold amount of trouble when the Mexican problem comes Into sight from the inter-national point. A life is worth a life, perhaps, before God, but down here the murder of a wealthy British subject is of more account than the murder of a thousand poor Americans! The British government, prevented by Wilson from pro-! tectlng its own subjects, will in the end bring an enormous bill of dam ages." "The mad dance of death goes on, and I feel as if the American administration was the fiddler. Mr. Lind has so idealized the rebels and bandits that he has come to think they and Villft are capable of all the civic virtues." "Mr. Wilson's cloistered agent sits in a small dark room with a red tiled; floor opening upon a shabby Mexican court, in the rear of the American consulate at Vera Cruz this is John, Lind, the personal representative of

chairman of the committee, and went over the situation. The conference developed that the new eight-hour day law and the other questions at issue in the recently averted railroad strike will form an important part of the committee's inquiry,

KILLS HER HUSBAND OVER DIVORCE CASE CHICAGO. Sept. 6. After a night of questioning, Mrs. James R. Barnes, admitted to the police today that she shot and killed her husband in Washington park last night after her refusal to withdraw a divorce suit, which was to have been called in court today. Barnes was western representative of a New York manufacturing concern. Five times during the all-night grind the woman fainted, but was revived. Weakened and unnerved by her act and the merciless grilling, she broke down and confessed, according to the police. THOMAS LOSES BICYCLE. Charles Thomas, 407 North Twentyfirst street, a mail carrier, has reported to the police that his bicycle was stolen from a porch at Earlham college. TITTLE TAKES CHARGE EATON, O., SepL 6. W. M. Tittle, of the Richmond offices of the Pennsylvania lines, is in charge of the local freight office of the company, and his appointment as agent probably will be made soon. He succeeds E. C. Clyne, who followed the late John Sharkey. Clyne has been assigned work at Camden. TAKES CINCINNATI JOB. Walter Klehfoth, connected for a number of years with the Hackman, Klehfoth Coal company, has severed connections with the firm and has gone to Cincinnati, where he has accepted a position. WANTS SILVER RETURNED. E. J. Hinshaw of Lynn, Ind., wants it known that he knows who swiped his picnic basket from his automobile in Glen Miller last Sunday night, but, he adds, he is willing to forget and forgive providing the silverware and table linen are returned. The taste for frog-eating la Increas ing in the United States. Last year six million frogs were placed on the markets of Minnesota. the president of the United States. He has sat there for seven months, smilingly watching and waiting, while Mexico and her 15,000,000 men, women and children have moved to ruin. It makes me creepy, it is so true!" "The name Zapata is the symbol of brigandage. He is the terror of the Mexican people. His crimes and depredations are committed under the Socialist banner "Land for the People." Mr. John Lind is today parlaying with him asking him if he won't be good!" "John Lind is patting the rebels on the back. We are beginning to see the results of the long months of cabling his dreams to the president, who, I am sure, if he ever wakes up to the real kind of bedfellows that he has been dreaming with, will nearly die. The Washington and 'Watchington' cerebration doesn't take in rapidly the kind of things that happen down here. Everything is known up there about burglars, prohibition, white-slave trade unfaithful stewards, defaulting Sunday school superintendents, base ball cheats, and picture 6hows, but the murky, exotic passions that move Vil la are entirely outside of the administration's consciousness." "It is the priests and Catholic sisters who have suffered most. The Jesuit and Carmelite churches were looted. The rebels broke open the tombs of the long dead bishops and pryed out the dusty remains with their bayonets in the hunt for valuables. The wife of a rebel chieftan wore in a cavalcade the velvet mantle taken from the Virgin del Carmen. The priests can't even get into their churches to say mass. What awful crimes are committed in the name of "constitu tionalism" backed by the "Dove of Peace" W. J. Bryan. "The excuse given for the murder of a German subject who was quietly asleep in a railroad station was that the guards thought he was an Ameri can. The German Consul, Von Hintze, raise; a rumpus and charged it up to the Uiited States "Mr. Bryan's idea of protection to American citizens seems to be built upon the self-serve restaurant plan come and get it. We don't carry it to you. "This is war and it Is called "peaceful occupation" a hesitation war, one step forward, one step backward, hesitate and then sidestep." "They seized a venerable priest at the altar. They tortured him. They sliced oft the soles of his feet, cut his ears off, cut out his tongue, and committed many nameless mutilations. I see by the American newspapers that Mr. Bryan is begging the Foreign Relations Committee to keep the Mexican situation off the floor of Congress." This .gifted woman, Mrs. Edith O'Shaughnessy, wife of the American; caargu u auaueo. hub uuuc u wuuu; a great service by jotting down each day the events in Mexico. She really lifts the veil and shows us the truth which John Lind, the President's special agent, - so wickedly suppressed. Get "A Diplomat's Wife in Mexico" and read it if you want the real facts about Wilson's Mexican policy. ,

FOULKE IS PLEASED WITH BOARD'S FUND TO START HOSPITAL "Wayne county commissioners have seen the light," said William Dudley Foulke today when informed that the commissioners will ask for an appropriation of $10,000 as a foundation for the tuberculosis fund. Mr. Foulke said this appropriation shows that a hospital will be built and gives a foundation for plans which will eventually lead to the erection of a county hospital. "It will indeed 'be a shame if the county council refuses to appropriate this money which will lead to the relief of much suffering and prevent many deaths and at the same time grant the appropriations for the two large bridges." ' Mr. Foulke was present at the council meeting this afternoon when the appropriation came up for definite action. CONDITION ATTACHES TO HOSPITAL FUND "When we promised E. M. Haas and the other three men that we would ask for a $10,000 appropriation for a hospital we did so with the understanding that William Dudley Foulke would have nothing to do with it." said Commissioner Seaney yesterday afternoon when he came out of the executive session at which the appropriation was agreed upon.

"The proposition which they present of bringing an expert here to investigate the situation is wrong. Since I have had so much experience with th& public service commission, I have no faith in expert testimony. They frame their reports to suit those who obtain their employment. "I have known instances where five experts from the same school have brought in five different reports. Why? Because they were influenced by people who had five different views of the situation. "If the councilmen fail to appropriate for the South G street bridge, they will make a serious mistake," said Mr. Bavis. "For several years the problem has confronted us how to relieve the congestion on Main Street The forcing of the interurban cars over the G street bridge would e the solution."

LOCAL PROGRESSIVES TO SUPPORT HUGHES

Wayne county Progressives were not represented at the meeting yesterday, in Indianapolis, of the Wilson Progressive league. Men formerly in the inner councils of the Progressive party in Wayne county say they are not surprised at the county's lack of representation at this meeting. They predict that Charles E.

BOCKHOFF Continued From Page One. until late this afternoon when the county councilmen return from investigating the sites of the Wisehart and Pressel bridges in Jefferson township. The bridges are close together and there is opposition to both appropriations. Will Kelley, representing the South Side Improvement association, made a plea for the immediate appropriation of funds for both the South G street and the Main street bridge, as asked by the commissioners, when the bridge proposition was opened for discussion this morning. Bridge Ready to Go. "The Doran bridge, which has been of much service to the city and county, is ready to be condemned. Soon the Twelfth street bridge will be the only passable one into Richmond. The people are demanding the construction of a slanting Main street bridge and a South G street bridge. "To make a grade crossing for the C. & O. railroad, which would be necessary if a level bridge were erected at Main street, would be making a 'Goosetown' of Richmond. The forcing of tourists around the dangerous temporary bridge long brands Wayne county with a weakness which does not exist, that of lacking funds. Perpetuation of the present situation is In no way justified. "One of the factories of the south side is about to leave Richmond because it can not secure enough help. By opening the passage way to the west side this problem would be settled. South West Richmond would spring up quickly if the bridge were built. Dollars Would Return. "Every dollar spent for the erection of the South G. street bridge would, in the long run, mean several dollars dividends. The building which would be caused by it would add great- j ly to the amount of taxable property.' j Adolph Blickweaei, president oi inn South Side Improvement, association who for twenty years has been trying to get a south side bridge, informed council that if the appropriation did not go through, he would never ask for it again. J. Henry E. Bode, Hans Koll and Gus Kennepohl, also members of the south side association, spoke before the council on the needs of a south side bridge. Soap should be used very sparingly if at all, if you want to keep your hair looking its best Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than soap or anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and It leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply everV member of the family for months. Adv.

Deposits for August In the postal savings department of the post office showed an increase of $900 over the previous month. The total, according to Assistant Postmaster De'uker, was $1,739. "While last year was exceptional, deposits during August, 1916, exceeded those of August, 1915, by $120," stated Mr. Deuker. "We always have heavy deposits during the month of August, although I don't know any reason why that should be so." RAPER SELLS STOCK Stock and farming implements, the property of Frank T. Raper, will be sold at the farm, four miles south of the city on the Straight Line pike, beginning at 10 o'clock, Tuesday, September 12. Included in the goods offered are 7 head of horses, 35 head of cattle, 60 head of hogs, some grain and farm machinery. Thomas F. Connig is the auctioneer. Clerks of the sale will be Frank Jones and Frank Taylor. WARM DISPUTE Continued From Page One. we want is a bridge, and one on the present level, as asked for by the commissioners, is the only way to get one immediately." Mayor Robbins, also a resident of the west side, endorsed all that Mr. Gardner had said, and added that immediate action must be taken since the temporary bridge is giving away fast. Plead for Longer Delay. A. C. Lindemuth and George H. Knollenberg spoke at great length in favor of the appropriation for a slanting bridge being turned down by the council, so that it could be replaced by a larger appropriation for a high level bridge. "This bridge will be one of the parts of the most important road in the middle west, and council can not afford to appropriate money for another eye sore, built on the same level as the present structure," said Mr. Lindemuth. E. G. Hill proclaimed that a thorough investigation had never been made to see whether or not the C- and O. rail road would alter its tracks so as to BRIEFS FOR SALE.
