ROOSEVELT IS EULOGIZED IN IIOUSEERVICE "Tower is Fallen" Says Lodge at National Memorial for Former President. WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. -In totomn services within the House Chamber Sunday the nation's leaden and representatives ot foreign governments paid tribute to the memory of Theodore Roosevelt Member of Congress, Supreme Court Justices, members of the Cabinet, army and navy officers and diplomats of many nations heard Senator

Lodge, of Massachusetts, praise Roose

velt as a statesman and as a man. Crowded galleries and the throng of men and women who could not gain admission testified to the personal feeling for the man whose death shocked the world. It was this to which Senator Lodge, a close friend of the man he eulogised, referred when he spoke these words in the stillness of the House Chamber: "A tower is fallen, a star is set! Alasl Alas I for Celln. "The words of lamentation from the . old Moorish ballad, which in boyhood we used to recite, must, I think, have risen to many lips when the world was told that Theodore Roosevelt was dead. But whatever the phrase, the thought was' instant and everywhere. All Conscious of Loss. "Variously expressed, you heard it In the crowds about the bulletin board from the man in the street and the man on the railroads, from the farmer In the fields, the women in the shops, in the factories and in the homes. The pulpit found in his life a text for sermons. The Judge on the bench, the child at school, alike paused for a moment, conscious of a loss. "The cry of sorrow came from men and women of all conditions, high and low, rich and poor, from the learned and the Ignorant, from the multitude who had loved and followed him, and from those who abd opposed and resisted him. The newepapers pushed aside the absorbing reports of the events of these fateful days and gave pages to the man who had died. "Flashed beneath the ocean and through the air went the announcement of Theodore Roosevelt's death, and back came a world-wide response from courts and cabinets, from press and people, in other and far-distant lands. . Through it all ran a golden thread of personal feeling which gleams so rarely in the somber formalism of public grief. "It would seem that here was a man, a private citizen, conspicuous by no office, with no glitter of power about him, no ability to reward or punish, gone from earthly life, who must have been unusual even among the leaders of men, and who thus demands our serious consideration."

Local Embezzler Is Caught in Illinois Walter Thornburgh, well known in Richmond, who jumped his bail while waiting trial about a year ago in the Wayne circuit court on a charge of embezzlement, was yesterday received by Sheriff Carr from the authorities at LaSalle, 111.

CARL ACKERMAN ARRIVES IN CITY FROH SIBERIA Carl W. Ackerman, special correspondent for the New York Times in Siberia, was in Richmond today. He will go to New York tonight to confer with the Times as. to his next duties. When he was sent to Siberia by the Times It was arranged that he was to return and cover the peace conference in Europe. In November a telegram was sent to him ordering him to go to the peace conference, but he did not receive this until the first of January. He then came to this country to receive instructions from his newspaper. When asked about the situation in Russia - Mr. Ackerman said that the only solution of the problem is a policy drawn up by the allies which -will be carried out. "The allies have not agreed on a policy in Russia and until they do they will do no good." They must decide on a definite policy and carry it out." Ackerman said the All-Russian conference was the best thing the allies could do. As to Japanese interference Mr. Ackerman said it was a subject he had thought a great deal about but as yet could say nothing or write nothing about it, under Instructions from the war department. "In Russia the feeling Is very strong against the Allies," he said. "All Allied soldiers want to get out of Russia. War is over and they want to quit." Mr. Ackerman said in Eastern Siberia the conditions were terrible. Towns are crowded, it is difficult to get clothing or shelter and the food is very poor. In central Siberia, food is abundant but it is hard to get clothing. "The Bolshevik! are stronger today than they ever were," Ackerman said. "It is too late to' conquer them. All the decent factions in Russia will not agree. They hate each other as much as they hate the Bolsheviki. The Bolshevik! must be moderated. Common sense must be pounded into them." Mrs. Ackerman is in Richmond with Mr. Ackerman. While he was in Siberia she spent most of her time in Japan.

THREE GENERATIONS OF FIRE FIGHTING SEEN BY CARTER

: Three generations of fire fighting have been seen by Frank Carter, the city's oldest fireman. Carter has had about thirty-five years of service with the Richmond fire fighters. When he first was a fireman, the old horse-drawn steamers were still In use. Later the horse-drawn combination carts were used, and, about two years ago, the department was motorized. Carter was a minute-man when he first came into the department Minute-men were men Irving near a fire house" who acted as firemen in the night or when they heard an alarm in the daytime. For this part-time service the city paid them $8.30 per month. Just after the new city building had been completed, in 1888, he became a full-fledged fireman, and has been in the department ever since. Besides being the oldest fireman, Carter has a good claim to being the city's oldest public servant, since there is no policeman with his record of service and the veterans of either department probably rank anyone else as to length of service.

WAR CONTRACT BILL READY FOR ACTION

(By Associated TVess) WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. The long pending bill for validation and settlement of informal war contracts aggregating about $2,750,000,000 today was placed In form for final action by congress. A complete agreement on the legislation reached by senate and house conferees eliminates the commission plan of settlement, but retains substantially the senate amendment to include minor contracts within the benefits of the bill. The conference report was presented to the house today by Chairman Gent of the military committee. In reaching an agreement the senate conferees yielded on the so-called : McKellar amendment which would have required war department officials in settling the contracts to make affidavits that they were not connected with any firm or had any rersonal interests in the contracts under settlement.

"The number of cities reporting surpluses of labor over demand from 44 percent to 60 percent. The .number of cities reporting shortage has' decreased from 13 percent to 12 percent. The cities reporting supply about equal to the demand has decreased from 43 percent to 38 percent On December 3, 1918, the surplus of labor reported for all cities totaled but 12,000.

STOCK PRODUCTION SHOWS DECREASE

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 Meat prices have increased steadily during the last 15 years because live stock men, believing they were being robbed by the five leading meat packers in collusion with the railroads, kept down production, - the house interstate commerce committee was told today by Louis B. Hall, of the department of agriculture bureau of markets. Mr. Hall said until 1900 the production of live stock increased steadily with the population, but that thereafter it remained the same from year to year.' The same amount of live stock is being produced now for 110,000,000 people, he said, that was produced in 1900 for 76,000,000 with the result that the demand is much greater than the supply and prices have increased.

CHANGE IN TAX DILL PROPOSED i ' (By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. 10. Another objection which has been made to the proposed new tax law likely will be removed when the measure is halted on second reading in the house, it was said today. It will be introduced by Flood Leader Mendenhall of jthe house majority, and will provide for the classification of forms for the listing of chattels by the state tax board so that each form would apply to a certain line of business, rather than have one form . which would attempt to cover all lines of Industry. The amendment would give the state broad authority to modify the forms as It sees fit. There has been much objection to the present form especially by farmers who feel that there is Injustice in requiring them to list all chattels, while they say the merchants and manufacturers are not required to do so. ' The ways and means committee Is expected to present a divided report to the house on the bills providing for the removal of the Indiana reformatory from Jeffersonville and for the location of the proposed colony for feeble minded persons in the southern part, of the state. Members from the southern part of the state will ask

fthat the legislature provide the re

formatory be erected on the present site Instead - of in the central part of Indiana on a site no less than 1000 acres, as the bill requires. There is opposition among certain members to providing that the farm colony for the feeble minded be located in southern Indiana, as they prefer o more central location.
