CLEAR WATER AND NEW JAIL.
Movements TO Have Both Becoming
PoDulur-ShouI Wash Streets.

The movements to have clear water
supply and a new Jail for Richmond are
meeting with much popular favor just at
this time.
Mr.. C. W Tanner. chairman of the
Council Committee on Water, was seen
yesterday in regard to the movement
TO have a clearwater supply tor Rlch-
mond He said that many Of the best ana
wealthiest residents Of the city were inter
ested in having clear water, and We're
willing to have their taxes increased If
they could get it. He said that he had
been approached by the presidents and
yice-presidents of three OF the largest
banks in the city and urged to do all he
could with this end in view. These gem
tlemen were also willing TO have their
taxes increased, If they be assured that
the city would get clear water in return.
Mr.. Tanner thought that about $780, coo
would be required in order TO secure
clearwater system for Richmond 1t only
remains for the City Council to appro-
priDte the money; then the work will be-
gin in earnest. The city WILL no doubt,
have 10 issue bonds for the purpose of
making the necessary arrangements Tor a
clearwater supply.
Many of the members of both branches
when seen yesterday expressed them
selves as being heartily in favor Of the
movement and will do all they can to get
the appropriation for the purpose.
Mr.. Harry c. Glenn, one Of the new
members, said that he was in favor
OF the movement. He thought that the
questions of a clearwater supply and the
building of a new Jail the most important
matters to be entertained by the City
Council.
Mr.. Glenn said that he would like to see
an ordinance passed enforcing the washing
of the principal streets Of the city from
the water-mains He thought that there
was an abundance of water and TINT the
city could we'll afford to have its streets
washed with it. lie thought that this
would tend to eliminate malaria and fever
in certain sections of the city.

DISCRIMINATION
By RAILROADS
Chamber Insists That Richmond Gets
the Worst of 1t.
ITS REASONS FOR THIS VIEW
Nearly One Thousand Articles Have
Advanced, and Immediate
Relief IS Considered
Necessary.
ITS REASONS FOR THIS VIEW

There has been a great deal of discus
sion as 10 whether or not the raiifoacS
at discriminating against Ricnh.o41-
The Chamber of Commerce takes the po-
sition that such is the case. Inc views
OF that organization on TINS subject a
gwen below:
The advances in the freight ciasslfica-
ton to Southern points, SO detrimental
TO the Interests of Richmond and o"ie'
Virginia cities referred TO In the ne"spa-
pes,s OF the 9th instant, was, on iiie -
instant. the subject OF careful CON
s.Geration by The Inland Trade Commute
OF the Chamber of Commerce. Ffiot ~
that meeting. in response TO active e1Loi -
ON the part of the sIraftic Bureau, ass1i
ances had been received from the car
Iiers that the matter was having theit
careful attention ana 1t WAS hoped tiia
1t would b fayorably disposed OF al meet
ing OF the Southern C.assiiica non LONI-
an!tfee to be held on the 18th instant; plt
information has since been received that
the subject was not considered upon that
occasion, but would be listed for considera-
ton al meeting to be held on August
9Th.
THE STATEMENT DENIED.
In the mean time a statement has been
made denying that Richmonl and other
Virginia cities were being dis,
eliminated against as was claimed
by the Chamber of Commerce,
and indicating that no radical
changes were proposed, but that some
alterations of minor Importance We're
TO be made.
If this statement at all reflects the
rea! views ard purposes of the Ciassifi-
cation Committee. il is entirely contrary
10 the assurances from some of the car
riers referred to above but. 1t calls for
correction. as 1t mihimizes the importance
of the advances. the necessity for relief
ani the amount of damage being inflicted
SO lo1.s as the present classification IS in
effect.
THE FACTS IN THE CASE
That Virginia cities are being most in
iuriously Disseminated against in favor
OF certain North Carolina, South Carolina
and Georgia cities. cannot be questioned
for an instant by anyone thoroughly con-
yersant with the situation; and the injury
inflicted upon Virginia cities is III no de-
gree lessened by the fact that certain
Eastern and Western cities, with respect
to the trade in the Southern States men
toned. are similarly disseminated against
and it may be stated that these Eastern
and Western cities are also vigorously
opposing this lew classification.
In recent statement made by the
Merchants Association Of New York, 1t
IS asserted that this classification shows
not less than 81 articles advanced, and
It was the opinion of the Inland Trade
Committee Of the Chamber. when review
ing these advances. that immediate re-
lief was necessary and that the only
practical and satisfactory remedy was
the restoration of the former classical
ton. after which reasonable revision,
applicable alike TO business from Virginia
ana South Atlantic cities, could take the
place of the sweeping advances COM
planned of.

were thrown onto the screen last even

lips formed a most pleasing and in

time ne gave many better idea Of the
famous play than they were able to get
from reading. His manner of speaking
was pleasing and his descriptions so
vivid that at times It seemed as if the

than SIMPLY listening 10 a description
and seeing the pictures on the screen.
