COUNCIL ADOPTS ORDINANCE FIXING NEW PHONE RATES

Passing of the ordinance appropriating $19,500 for the Randolph streat fewer, to the third reading, and passing of the ordinance granting the Richmond Home Telephone company a raise in rates of approximately 2) per cent, were the chief reatures of the council meeting Monday evening. A movement to table the raise in telephone rates until the next meeting of the council, when four of the present members would have been relieved by new members, was blocked by vots of the council. Albert Ford moved to table the resolution when it was Introduced. The motion was seconded by Alphone Weishaupt. Councilman Williams rose at once. "When this come up in two weeks, that gentleman will be out of council," he said. "I think we ought to knew how he stands." "I say settle It and settle it now," said Councilman White. Roll call on the motion to table the resolution showed eight against tabling and four for tabling. With little debate the ordinance was presented for roll call, and was adopted with only two dissenting votes, those of Ford and Weishaupt. "Gained Some. Ground W. M. Bailey, general manager, In commenting on the increase after the council meeting, said: "Although it means some close calculation for us In the future, we have at least gained : a little over the former revenue." An ordinance appropriating $95 to pay assessors who had appraised property for the city of Richmond during vacation and condemnation proceedings, was passed without debate. Councilman Walterman suggested that the board of works, the superintendent of the light plant and the fire chief be instructed to erect a Christmas tree on some corner in accordance with the annual custom. The motion was adopted. Statement Submitted. The monthly statement of J. P. Dillon on the condition of the light plant was submitted to the council. His statement showed receipts for the month of November as $94,898.72; disbursements as $33,024.10 and balance on hand in the general fund, 59,874.02. Balance on hand in the general fund, $59,874.62.

Mrs. Herbert II. Asquith as she appeared in "Not So Bad as We Seem." Mrs. Herbert H. Asquith, whose reminiscences under the name of "Lady Margot" shocked British society in general, recently appeared on the stage as the Silent Lady of Dead Man's Lane in "Not So Bad as We Seem," Lord Lytton's famous comedy. The play was presented for Christmas charity at Devonshire House.

which are divided into episodes, are taken from "The Bad Samaritan," by Thomas McMorrow: "The Man Who Heard Everything," by Waletr Trumbull; "Hop," by Hugh Wiley, and "The Strange Adventure," by Marshall Neilan. And each of these stories is cleverly linked up by one main theme. Mr. Neilan has accomplished what to other producers seemed imposible. And he has achieved a real triumph in doing so. Melodrama, comedy, satire and farce are ingenuously pieced together to provide an entertainment which is packed with interest from beginning to end. Lon Chaney gives a magnificent characterization as a Chinaman in the episode based on "Hop." It is indeed one of his finest contributions to the screen. Others who contribute their histrionic talents to this unusual screen attraction are John Bowers, Noah Beery, Wesley Barry, Harriett Hammond, Rockcliffe Fellows. James Bradbury, Jr., Fred Burton, Teddy Sampson and Anna Mav Wong. VICTORY THEATER, DAYTON The next offering at the Victorv theater.

nof if the builders at present tearing down and rearranging the interior of a house in an arsitocratic quarter in London come upon a wealth of jewels and jewelry. They who were intimately concerned in the piquant affair have long ago gone to dutt. Their descendants, however, are keeping a

close eye on developments. Some time

ago this mansion was bought by a war profiteer, after having been the town house of a landed family for many generations. Somewhere within the walls of a room which was the boudoir of one of its chatelaines lie not only a small fortune in precious stonei and gold

smith's work, but some heirlooms of a i

ducal family. The chatelaine wasi very lovely, but by no means strait-1 laced. One afternoon, when visiting!

a friend, she aiea suaaeniy. Heirlooms of Family. Her husband had her boudoir shut up and refused to havo any search made for the jewels, which it then became known she had been receiving

from her ducal lover, who was now! much embarrassed by reason of cer-j

tain of them being heirlooms in his family. ' j Not for three generations and on ai distant branch of the aggrived hus

band's family succeeding to the property, was the boudoir ieopened, and though search was then instituted, nothing resulted. The fair lady's cache remained undiscovered. If and when the heirlooms come to light again it is

certain the lawyers will profit by thej wrangling for possession of them. Jewels in Bedpost. Jewels sometimes are found secreted j in very odd places. Not long ago a. surprising and gratifying discovery! was made, much to the joy of the head, of a famous oounty family in the Mid-i lands. Impoverished, like many others, in these hard times after the war, he; had arranged for the sale of much of' the property which hai been in his; family for many generations and the hall itself and fine antijue furniture; were being catalogued.
