among the young society representatives,
and a fun response was the natural re-
suit There Is 40 place in Richmond at
which an entertainment could be given
upon such q magnificent scale and the
event takes rank easily as the foremost
upon the social record Of the season.
TO describe Justly and satisfactorily the

COL. HARDWOOD FOR MAYOR.
The Popular Legislator Way lie
Candidate for That Office.

In the last few weeks, since munich
pal affairs have been discussed so free
ly in Richmond, there has been con-
siderable gossip as TO the mayoralty of
this city, and Colonel John 5. Harwoods
name has been prominently mentioned in
connection with the office.
He was approached yesterday by a
Dispatch man and asked if he would be
candidate for the office. The Colonel
appeared to be somewhat surprised AT
the question, but he made a prompt an
Nger asserting that it was in his belief
too early for the municipal canvass TO
begin. 1T will be time enough several
months hence" said the member of the
House "for us TO begin discussing the
various candidates.. Why, by next
spring. he continued evasivcly, 1--WE may
both be sleeping over yonder on the hill
beside the James"
Notwithstanding his evasive reply. II
is known that Colonel HARDWOOD has
been approached by number of citizens,
who have urged him to run for the
mayoralty, and the impression prevails
that he is seriously considering the mat
ter of becoming candidate.
The reporter asked him what he
thought of the retrenchment movement
and he expressed himself thereon in
very comprehensive and logical manner
Said he, II am practical businessman,
and / look at this matter from prac-
teal business standpoint 1t is patent
that we are living beyond our income,
and, as a businessman, / realize that
no business can exist long with such
methods 1t Is necessary that we should
do one of two things-either increase
our revenues by increasing our rate Of
taxation, or decrease our expenses by
cutting down salaries or putting off
men. AS a property holder, L am ire
trievably opposed TO increasing taxation,
as an increase would make it burden
some TO our people generally.
II should hate exceedingly TO see any
of the city's employees thrown out of
employment and l don't want TO see
the wages of the city hands or the sala-
ries of the police or firemen cut down.
They are getting little enough now, and
we couldn't maintain the present eff
cheney Of our police force or fire de-
partment If the men thereon were paid
less. There are, though, any quantity
of men in the ctys employ who are
drawing large salaries. and these could
all afford to work for very much less.
and then live comfortably and well. Re-
trenchment must be had, and the men
who are now drawing large salaries
must suffer the cut"

AN IMPOSSIBLE TEST.
New Order Regarding Newport
News BattIeship Plates.

NEWPORT NEWS, VA, January s.
Special 1.-The Newport News Ship
building and Dry-Dock Company have
been notified by Naval-COnstructor J. j.
Woodward that every plate which has
been shipped for the battleships kear-
sarge and Kentucky must be subjected
TO the longitudinal and transverse tests
before it can be used. This sweeping
order practically means that the plates
are not to be used. although the special
Naval Board which inspected them a
short time ago did not recommend their
rejection. Every plate IS cut the proper
size, and it is impossible 10 make the
test referred to without rendering the
material useless, whether any defects are
developed or not. The effect OF Con-
structor Woodward's directions will be
a total suspension of work on the yes
sells and the idleness OF nearly 1,o00 en-
ployees of the shipyard. unless the or
der is speedily revoked by the Navy De-
partment.
The testing Of each plate in the man
ner prescribed Is not required by the
specifications. and Mr.. 5. n Smith,
superintendent of the Newport News
Shp-Bulding and Dry-DOck Company,
has protested against the order.

OF INTEREST TO wHEELMEN.
A Man Reported for Throwing
Bottle In the Sireet-Other Cases.

The charge against W. II. REVERSAL
who was before Justice John yesterday
morning for Throwing a bottle in the
streets" was dismissed. Reversal runs
a bottling establishment. and Thursday in
passing from his door to a vehicle in
waiting, with an armful Of bottles, he
dropped one accidentally and il broke in
falling TO the pavement. Mr.. L. S. Jones
saw the bottle fall, and told REVERSAL,
In the interest Of the "wheemen" of the
city. to pick the shattered pieces up or he
would report him. This nettled the bot
tier. and he informed Mr.. Jones that he
could report away, which was done.
The evidence adduced assured Justice
Crutchfield that the cause of the trouble
was accidental. and as there is no ordi-
nance governing such accidental cases,
the charge was dismissed.
An old colored man, who gave his name
as William Henry Cussons, charged with
being suspicious character, was dis
charged The old man pleaded his own
cause with so much fervency aud so elo-
quently. and promised so earnestly never

Pile again, that Justice John told him to
do as he said. All thanks and smiles,

The Coming of Camilla Urso.

Camilla Urso, the celebrated vlolnlst'
who will appear here at the head of a
splendid organization on the 18th instant
made her re-entree in this country IN
New York a few days ago. Her reception
was enthusiastic, and the critics were
unanimous in her praise. Urso Is SAID
to be in her prime, and in her case the
idea of sex, which so often obtrudes itself
and modlfes critical judgment, is never
thought of.
During Urso's recent tour of the world
she visited Egypt, Australia, New Zea-
land. South Africa, and India. In South
Africa she gave concerts in Capetown'
the Orange Free State. Kimberly, and the
diamond mining district, arriving at Jo-
hannesburg, in the Transyaal, in 1923.
There she gave fifteen concerts, the last
one being a testimonial from the ladies,
who presented her with a purse Of 5000
the entire receipts of this gratifying
demonstration of respect and affection.
