SKATING CRAZE
HOLDS THE CITY
Declared that Everybody Has
Gone "PIumb Daft" Over
the Rollers.
RINK is CROWDED DAILY
so GREAT is THE DEMAND UPON
THE RINK BY SKATERS THAT
POLO HAS NO CHANCE THIS
SEASON.

Richmond has again gone plumb
daft" over roller skating. 1t was
thought that the fever reached about
the greatest height possible last year
but from the business done last week
at the Coliseum and especially from
that last night, it seems that. the craze
is here as strong as several years ago,
when the people of Richmond skated
morning, noon and night. Last night
every pair of skates at the Coliseum
was rented and for forty-five minutes
after the doors had been closed
against skaters. applicants still appli-
ed The floor of the Coliseum was I'M
comfortably filed with the. crowd of
oniookers resembled an audience seen
at polo games.
Mace Byers, who is floor manager
at the Coliseum, said last night that in
the face of the present demand for
roller skating there was little likeli-
hood of an Independent polo team be-
ing formed. After the holidays the
skating fever may die down to some
extent and then the Richmond public
may be given a taste of polo.

Pennsylvania Company Fore
ed to Cut Out Lower
Round-Trip Farese
EFFECT OF THE COMBINE
THE CASE SHOWS UNMISTAkAB-
DO AS IT PLEASES.

Pressure by other railroads has in
duced the Pennsylvania Company to
cancel a tariff it recently filed max
ing a reduction in round-trip passen-
ger fares. The new rates were to
become effective December 20. The
quires that thirty days notice be
given of any increase in rates.. SO the
lower round trip rates in Illinois, In
diana, Ohio and Pennsylvania can not
be withdrawn until December 80 max
Ing them in effect only ten days.
Before the recent reduction in one
way passenger rates from genera!
basis of cents a mile to cents in
Ohio and 21x cents in Indiana and
Pennsylvania, rOund-trip tickets
were sold at a reduction of 10 per
cent. from twice the one-way fare.
After the general reduction in one
way rates the Pennsylvania Company
decided to sell round-trip tickets for
7h per cent. less than twice the one
way rate. So strongly was this furth-
er reduction opposed by other East
ern lines that the Pennsylvania has
agreed to maintain its rOund-trip
rates on the old basis Of 3 cents a
mile one way, except In cases when
twice the new one-way rate is less
than the old round trip rate. In
such cases the lower rate must be
charged.

WILLIAM II. LANGDON.

San Erancisco District Attorney, who
Is an Enemy Of Grafters.
In the sensational graft exposures in
San Francisco leading part has been
played by William n. Langdon. district
attorney. The present mayor of San
Francisco, Eugene e. Schmitz, was
chosen for his post through coalition
between the Republicans and labor un-
ion organizations. Abraham Ruef, who
has, been known as the political boss
of the city, was recently indicted. with
Mayor SchmitZ, on charges Of accept
ing money from the proprietors Of dis
orderly resorts in payment for protec-
ton. Other charges have been made
affecting the disposal of funds sent to
San Francisco for the earthquake suf-
ferers. Langdon some time ago sus-
pected that members Of the municipal
administration were participating in
graft and refused to be longer guided
by BOSS" Ruef and became conspicu-
Gus as an enemy of grafters This re-
suited in his nomination for governor
of California on the Independence
league ticket.

WILL TRY ONCE MORE
EAGLES PLAN CARNIVAL
Order Already Preparing for Big
Outdoor Show that Will Take Place
Next summerLooking for a Good
Company.

Richmond is assured of one street
carnival at least, next summer.
The Eagles will try again and feel
confident that the affair will be botn
q success from an entertainment as
well as financial standpoint. Already
the Eagles are in correspondence with
three of the leading carnival compa-
MES of the country and will close q
contract just as soon as it is expedi-
emit to do SO.
The Eagles have had but one try
at the carnival business. That was
last summer, when they brought the
Robinson carnival company to this
city and held forth for week at the
grounds south of Glen Miller entrance.
The Robinson company at the time the
Eagles engaged it, had splendid rep
utation and was really carrying some
of the most meritorious shows of the
kind on the road. Just before reach
ing Richmond, however. trouble be-
tween the Robinson company and the
Individual show managers travelling
with it, caused a number of the best
attractions to drop their engagement
and consequently Richmond people
did not see the Robinson company at
its best, and the Eagles did not make
the money which they might other
wise have done.
Though hampered by some bad
weather and with a carnival company
not at it's best, the Eagles cleared $500
and for this reason feel encouraged to
take up the project next year. Ferari
Bros. set the highest mark in the car
nival world in Richmond, when they
appeared here under the auspices Of
the Red Men and it is the intention Of
the Eagles next season to get COM
pany which will equal if not eclipse
that event.
