BAVIS DEMANDS WHITE RETRACT HIS STATEMENT

White with anger President Bavis of

the board of public works denounced Councilman John White, of the second

ward, at Council meeting last night, for a statement madefy White at a meeting of second ward women voters, last Friday night, which reflected upon the methods pursued by the city officials in the purchase of the electric plant of the Light, Heat & Power comnan. .

It was charged that White stated at the ward meeting that he favored the purchase of the L. H. & P. plant but opposed the way the purchase was made. It was asserted that White remarked that the citv officials "went

into the board of works room and locked the doors, and then came out and said it was done." White Admits the Statement. White admitted that he had made this statement but added that it was not his intention to discredit Mr. Bavis or any other city official. "I do not believe Mr. Bavis has a dishonest hair in his head," White said, "but I insist that the people were not Informed about the deal as they should have been. They should have been permitted to vote on the matter." President Bavis then reviewed the various transactions leading up to the purchase of the privately owned electric plant showing that everything had been done openly and above board. Mr. Bavis pointed out that under the state law the citizens were not permitted to vote on the question." Bavia concluded by asking for an

apology from, White and the councilman promptly entered his apology. Howells Asks Crusade. Councilman Howells asked that the police begin a new" crusade against automobile speeding. He said he would like to see an example made of some of the speed maniacs. He also urged the enforcement of the dimmer law. "One thing Falrview won't be botheredwith is speeding." remarked Councilman Wilkins. "You can't speed on Falrview streets." The welfare committee reported that it was not yet ready to submit a recommendation in regard to the establishment of a pension fund for policemen and firemen. , FOULKE TO ADDRESS PATRIOTIC CHAPEL

COLORED CITIZENS FORM COAL FIRM FOR MUTUAL AID

Articles of incorporation for a $5,000 ' stock company to conduct a

general coal and product supply concern in this city have been filed with the secretary of state, Indianapolis. Promoters of the concern are all Richmond colored men and the company is to be operated for the especial benefit of the city's colored population and will be on a co-operative basis. The board of directors of the new concern are: R. E. Edwards, a dealer in automobile accessories, Dr. W. W. Anderson, E. M. Brown, a dentist, H. D. Bundy, manager of a dry cleaning business, Charles J. Jories, a fish dealer, and C. R. Richardson, an attorney. All are colored men. Will Sell Common Stock. Only common stock will be issued, to sell at $10 a share. Each stockholder will be privileged to purchase supplies at the minimum rates. The organization of this' company

follows the suggeston made by the late Booker T. Washington, famous colored educator, in 1915 when he visited Richmond. At that time he suggested to representative colored citizens a general expansion of commercial enterprises on the part of local colored people. Formal announcement of the launching of this enterprise will be made Thursday evening of this week at a meeting to be held at Bethel A. M. E. church, when Roscoe Simmons, nephew of the late Dr. Washington

and the most brilliant colored oratorj

in America, will deliver an aaaress urging support of the new concern, to be known as the People's Coal and Produce company. Simmons will also urge the colored people of Richmond to lend active support to the government in its war against Germany. Simmons declares that every able-bodied colored American should enlist for military service.

MOTLEY HORDE OF EXILES FROM SIBERIA TRAVELS DAY AND NIGHT TO REACH HOMES IN RUSSIA

GOVERNOR WANTS MILLION

(By Associated Press) LANSING, Mich., April 3. Governor Albert E. Sleeter today requested the attorney general's department to pre

pare a bill caring for an appropriation.

of $1,000,000 for war purposes.

(By Associated Press) , TYUMEN, Siberia, Via Petrograd and Londan, April 3. Fifty thousand sledges, carrying victims of the old regime back to freedom in the new Russia from the mines and convict settlements , of Siberia, are speeding in endless chain across the snows of North Asia toward the nearest points on the Trans-Siberian railway. Their pa&sengers range from members 'of the old Terroist Societies to exiles who were banished by administrative decrees with6ut trial or even known offense. . It is a race against time as the spring thaw is imminent and the roaijs, even in the coldest, settlements of t'he Lower Lena, will soon be impassable.. Exiles who do not reach the railroad within a fortnight must wait six weeks or two months until the ice melts and river navigation begins. Accompanies Duma Member In order to witness this unprecedented migration a correspondent of The Associated Press came here in company with a member of the duma. M. Rosenoff. and two members of the former council of empire The three officials were sent by the provisional government to explain to the natives in these remote Russian outposts the nature of the great change which has come to the country Their mission carries them to

some scores of thousands of heathen

Asiatic tribesmen and they are especially directed to instruct voters in regard to the coming Constituent Assembly which will decide the form of Russia's new government. Numbers Increase Rapidly The liberation of Siberia's prisoners has barely begun. West of the Urals, The Associated Press correspondent only encountered a handful of exiles wno, when the revolution began, were at or near the railroad. The first large party was encountered when the Siberian express reached Ekaterinburg in the Urals. It consisted of 150 political convicts and administrative exiles, including

0 members of the' Jewish revolutionrv band, mostly from the Verkhol-

The exiles were travelings in special 9

cars and had been on the road continuously from March 24, five days after they first heard of the revolution. The cars were met by a crowd at the railroad station which cheered them tumultously. " The returning exiles returned the cheers but they were in a deplorable physical conditions, shaggy, uncouth, unwashed and extremely emaciated. . Many were crippled with rheumatism, two had lost hands and feet from frost bites and one who attempted flight had been shot In the leg when he was recaptured. He was lying in a prison hospital .when he learned .that he was a free. man. Come in Motley Array The exiles had started west so hurriedly that. they arrived in an extraordinary variety of . incongruous garb. Some were new costumes which had been supplied by sympathizers along their route and some had handsome fur overcoats covering their hideous joil uniform.

Among those who wore this latter costume was a young millionaire aristocrat from Ofiessa who had been sen

tenced to life ten years ago for fomenting a revolutionary mutiny in the

Black Sea fleet. . Others of the party

wore shaggy sheep and wolf skins as

a protection against the bitter Siberian blasts. One man from the Irkutsk city jail ' wore the gold braided

uniform tunic of the dismissed gover

nor of Irkutsk under, a ragged and

greasy overcoat.. All? Ekaturinburg gathered to- do honor to the exiles and a reception and dinner was hastily improvised at which a speech was delivered by Sophia Vafneff, who spent seven years in different Siberian penal villages for possessing revolutionary literature. . ' Travel Day and Night As soon as the lews of the revolution spread through Siberia those exiles whb had the means started for the nearest railway, travelling day

and night in the Arctic cold on peasant sledges or government ' post " sleighs. ! An enormous number t of f ; sledges from widely scattered" settleP 7 ments converged on Irkutsk and so -; congested the trails' that , the move- . ment was held up sometimes for hours. . -, Five days after the triumph of the revolution, 6,000 exiles entered. . Irk-' utsk but' the vast majority were na-' able to proceed west owing to the lack of rol!4ng stock. .These encamp1 ed about the town and along the rail; road and at least a month will be needed before they can be sent home:
