"ABOLISH BOARD OF WORKS," IS bEMANDJF MEET Impeachment of Mayor Also Asked at Mass Meeting Called by Labor. Abolition of the board of public works, "owing to a great deal of dissatisfaction 'with its dilatory tactics," and Impeachment proceedings against Mayor Zimmerman, are asked in a resolution passed at a mass meeting In the high school auditorium Monday night. The meeting was called by Central Labor Council to give Jack Coyle, discharged fireman, a free and Impartial hearing. The resolution demands, "that we a working men and taxpaylng citizens of the city of Richmond, do and heretoy demand, that the said board of jworks be abolished at the next meeting of council." t The charge was made and incorporated In the resolution, that action on abolition of the board of works was already before the city council in the Iform of an ordinance on third reading, Ibut which had never been called. Will Attend Council. Besides passing the resolution calling for the abolition of the board and "the Impeachment of the mayor it was ttnoved that all persons in the audience attend the next council meeting tin a body and demand the re-lnstate-taient of Coyle, and a committee will (be appointed to designate the place of (meeting. I Lucius Harrison said that while the imayor pointed out the giving of the Icity an adequate light plant, as "the tright and shining light of the present (administration," it was not Zimmereman who gave the city the light plant, but Jackson and Starr, attorneys. In order to "get evn" with a cor- ? (oration, Jackson and Starr formuated plans to start a rival electric light plant to show that the firm was more powerful than a corporation. "As it happened the municipal light plant was a good thing, but Dr. Zimmerman had nothing to do 'with its Drigin," said Harrison. John Putterbaugh, chairman, said: "We are here to protest against the autocratic action of the city government in the Coyle case and we ere asking you to Join us in our request." Lucius Harrison, who was introduced by the chairman, gave a detailed account of the reasons why Coyle was discharged. Harrison said that he ihad heard both sides of the case, the board's end from Harry Gilbert and the other from Coyle. Firemen Can't Strike. He also said that organized labor in the city of Richmond "would not let the city firemen strike." This was corroborated by Robert Graham. "It is against the constitution of the firefighters' association to strike. The

American Federation of Labor, with

which the firemen's union Is affiliated, paid to the firemen when inducting

them Into the organization, 'it is your duty to stay on your job but It is our duty to protect you.' It developed upon me as chairman of the grievance committee of the Central Labor Council to investigate this case," eaid

Harrison. "I did so, and I heard both sides of the case. "The case, as I heard it from both factions, does not materially differ, for If the evidence was taken down by a tenographer there would not be an iota of difference between the two. iThe stories are identically the same. "The meeting tonight is the result of the refusal to give Coyle a public hearing, to which the statutes of Indiana give him the right," The Increase demanded by the firemen he Bald was $10 a month, every fifth day off. Instead of every eighth, rs they now have, and 14 days' vacation every year. They gave them $5 a month and the 14 days, he said. "I want to say that as far as I am concerned and I hope that every other voter in Richmond is the same way, I am done with kaiserism in the city building. "I am willing to go down to the olty hall with any bunch of men, no anatter who they are, and do everything within the law to throw him out. And if we cannot impeach him we can "throw him out by the ballot box. We can down anybody that way," concluded Harrison. Robert Graham read the firemen's constitution showing that they are prohibited to strike. "It is good for the firemen to be organized," said Graham, "in fact, it ,1s a detriment for them not to be organized." Several other short speeches were imade. After the question of what was to be done was completed, the chairman tried to get an expression of ipentiment on the gas rate increase, .but as the audience started to depart, he adjourned the meeting.

English Seniors Dine Admiral and Officers

(By Associated Press) PORTSMOUTH, Eng., Monday, Sept. 22. Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty was tonight given a unique compliment when, with forty-two of his admirals he was entertained at dinner at the town hall here by some 500 lower deck men and presented with a silver cigar box as a token of loyalty and affected from all the ratings in the navy. The day was made a great occasion here, salutes being fired upon the viceadmiral's arrival and his auto being hauled through the streets to the town hall by sailors. Twenty thousand townspeople gathered at the town hall and cheered heartily while the 500 hosts of the vice-admiral formed upon the steps to welcome him.

Sumner, which grounded off Pender coast two weeks ago, Charles Lacey, negro mate was held today without bail after a hearing yesterday before a United States commissioner.

Money, Dogs, Souvenirs, Taken hy 1,300 Germans on Way Home From I. 5. ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 23 More than thirteen hundred interned German sailors are on their way today from the detention camp at Fort McPhere-e eon, to Hoboken, N. J., on the first leg of their journey home. Guarded by 200 American soldiers, the Germans went an a special train which included nine cars of baggage mostly souvenirs of their enforced stay in America. Nearly 150 made application to become naturalized American citizens and said they wanted to leave the fatherland to work out its own salvation, but only 73 of the applications will be granted and all these provide only for probationary citizenship. The 73 lucky ones were left behind. More than fifty American dogs will accompany the home going Germans who also take with them more than $6,000 worth of clothing bought from one American mail order house. They also carried with them large quantities of soap, potatoes, cigars, coffee, talking machines and other articles. Many of them have considerable sums of money.

HAVE YOU SCROFULA? Now Said to Be as Often Acquired as Inherited.

It is generally and chiefly indicated by eruptions and sores, but in many cases it enlarges the glands of the neck, affects the internal organs, especially the lungs, and if neglected may develop into consumption. It causes many troubles, and is aggravated by impure air, unwholesome food, bad water, too much heat or cold, and want of proper exercise. Hoods Sarsaparilla, the medicine that has been used with so much satisfaction by three generations, is wonderfully successful in the treatment of scrofula. Give it a trial. If a cathartic or laxative is needed, take Hood's Pills, there is nothing better for biliousness or constipation.

"DRY" BILL NEARLY READY FOR ACTION

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 When the dispute over tho "burden of proof" section of the prohibition enforcement bill is adjusted, which- is expected today, the last dissent between the house and senate conferees- will have passed and the bill will be ready for final action. The final dispute hinges on whether defendants of the government should bear the burden of proof in prohibition violations. The senate conferees contend the government should prove the defendant guilty while the house conferees maintain the defendant should be required to prove his innocence. Prohibition leaders plan to bring the bill to a vote late this week and they are confident of its enactment. They believe passage of the bill will stop immediately the sale of light .wines and beers, where such sales are being allowed under court decisions.

Today's Beauty Hint

It is not necessary to shampoo your hair so frequently if it is cleansed each time by the use of a really good shampoo. The easiest to use and quickest drying shampoo that we can recommend to our readers is one that brings out all the natural beauty of the hair and may be enjoyed at very little expense, by dissolving a teaspoonful of canthrox which can be obtained from any druggist, in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so It is easy to apply It to all the hair instead of just to the top of the head. This, when rubbed into the scalp and onto every strand of hair, chemically dissolves all impurities. It is very soothing and cooling in its action, as well as beneficial to both scalp and hair. After rinsing out the lather so created, you will find the scalp is fresh, clean and free from dandruff, while the hair dries quickly and evenly, developing a bright luster and a soft fluffiness that makes it seem very heavy.

Evansville Police and Firemen's Unions Will Disband; Rise Promised EVANSVILLE, Ind., Sept. 23. The Police and Firemen's Unions, which

are affiliated with the American Fed

eration of Labor, will disband at once

on request of Mayor Benjamin Bosse.

Thi3 action came as the result of a mass meeting at the Chamber of Commerce last Thursday, when resolutions were adopted calling upon these

two unions to disband. It was pointed out that a policeman

had no more right to belong to the American Federation of Labor than an American soldier. The resolutions

called upon the city to see that the men either give up their unions or be

compelled to give up their jobs.

Higher pay and civil service were urged for both the policemen and firemen.
