taken as an emergency measure ny the war department in' an effort to fill , all regiments up to war strength. - Patriotic societies have failed to " assist the United States to prepare ' for war by answering the public call ' Issued by Sergeant Warner some time ; ago for assistance In getting Richmond young men to join the army. , Several applications for the volun- ,' teer cadet company have been filed at the recruiting office. A meeting of the company will probably be called in the near future.

Richmond Boy Scouts believe lec
turers have replaced lightning rod
agents as priie money-getters.
The Scouts are feeling wiser and several Main street merchants are feeling sadder as a result of contact with a lecturer The lecturer styled himself Professor J. Samuel Staudt He said he now was located at Anna, 111., and formerly had been a professor at Purdue University. He told the scouts of Troop Two all about himself when he came to hire out as a lecturer, but he neglected to produce credentials and they passed that little formality because of his gracious and scholarly manners. Lecturer Announced Subject. He hired out to lecture on "The Physchology of individual influence." After he had announced his title the scouts had no doubt of his professional abilitv. . ... .
Then' he canvassed the business men
tor tickets and sold a number of them
at 50 cents a pasteboard. , The scouts
say ne represented tne money would
go to Troop Two.
Last night he lectured at the court house. There were four persons there
besides the scouts.
After the lecture the scoutB attempt
ed to get their share of the proceeds.
They were unsuccessful.
"You have no contract, have you?"
queried the lecturer. , They, had none,
The scouts stormed but the professor
had the gate receipts In his wallet.

CONGRESS TAKES
URGE LEGISLATURE
TO PASS ON DILL
For the purpose of urging the passage of a bill authorizing the city of
Richmond to pay compensation insur
ance to the widows of two police of
fleers, George Little and Elmer Steph
enson, murdered while in the perform'
ance of their duties, last July, Wilfred Jessup and Alfred Bavis, president of
the board of public works, went to In dianapolis today to confer with mem bers of the legislature.
' A bill was recently passed amending the workmen's compensation law so
as to include police officers and fire
men as beneficiaries under its provis
ions but the retro-active feature of the bill, which would have permitted the city of Richmond to compensate the
widows of its two murdered officers,
was stricken out. . Therefore If these
women are to receive compensation from the city a special act. must be
passed. The. legislature adjournB in a week.

Continued Prom Page One. to be taken up late today or tomorrow under a special rule giving it right of way over other legislation and limiting debate. The chief objection" of the republicans is to the phrase Mother instrumentalities." Several of the leaders express willingness to vote for any specific authority sought by the president but say they do not want to sign a "blank check." . Then there are many who strongly favor directing as well as authorizing the arminc and
protecting of ships, insisting that the necessity already exists and that United States cannot with self respect wait longer to assert its rights. Want Congress at Hand Back of all their objections, most of the republicans want an extra session and contend that congress should not be away from Washington when the nation is on the brink of war. Another filibuster in the senate is threatened, and the. Democrats fear it, although the president is represented1
as ruiiy confident that the authority he asks will be granted and that there
will be no extra session. Await Official Dispatches.

Representative Flood's bill, which was before the-houae- foreign affairs committee today, was drafted along
unes or a memorandum left with him and Senator Oliver of the senate for
eign, relations committee yesterday by
rresiaent Wilson and consequently
embodies the president's ideas of what authority should be granted by congress. "
In additon to empowering the presi
dent to arm merchant ships and to employ "other Instrumentalities" and pro
viding ?10O,000,000 by a bond issue, the bill would nermit the nresident to
transfer any part of that sum to the Federal bureau of War Risk insurance
to be used in paying losses of American ships above $5,000,000. .
Total Payments Are Limited. Total navments are limited to thnf
amount now by the size of the entire
fund. The proposed increase would be
precaution against the possibility
that if a number of ships carrying fed
eral Insurance were sunk in the war
zone,' the government might not be
able to redeem their loss.
Since its establishment Sept. 2. 1914.
the Federal Insurance Bureau has sev
eral rate Increases, the last of which.
announced tnree weeks ago after the
German submarine blockade had been instituted, brought insurance costs to two percent for vessels from -American ports passing through ihe- war zone.. This rate now .prevails for destinations of Great Britain, Rotterdam, Scandinavian countries, various carts
of France, western .Italy and the northern coast of Africa.

tentions on him of late and declared that her family objected to him seeing the baby. He said he did not strike
his wife, only shoved her.. He was ined $10 and costs.

For two days William Settle, colored, has been trying to think of the names
of two men be wants to have summon
ed to appear for him In a provoke case he has filed against . Herbert Green, a liveryman, but every time Settle has appeared at headquarters his

time asked him if he had the names
of nls two witnesses and for a fourth
time Bill said that he knew who the
two men were, and when he started
to give their names his memory failed
mm ror a rourtn time.
"Seems, like ..I Jest can't call them names to mind," remarked Bill after much scratching of. his head. "One
man am t got no arm and other fellow is a boy whose first name is Henry" "That's what you've told me every
time," shouted McNally. "Now I don't
want you to bother me again until tou
get those names.- When-the men . tell you who they are write their names"
But the sergeant never got to finish his tirade. . Bill had fled. , .
