All Is Now in Readiness for
Building the West Second
Street Viaduct.
MEETING OF OFFICIALS
CITY AND THE RAILROAD COMPA.
nv AGREE TO MANNER OF AS.
SESSING TRACTION COMPANIES
FOR USE OF STREET.

At a meeting held yesterday after
noon by representatives of the city
and the P, c. c. & St. L. Railroad, a
final agreement was reached in re-
CARDS to the West Second street cross
ing, a matter which has been hanging
fire for the past two or three years.
The city and railroad officials yester.
day reached an agreement to build a
subway under the P, G. G. & st. l..
tracks atiaWest Second street, the
railroad company paying 60 per cent
of the cost of construction and the
city the remaining 40 per cent.
This agreement is practically the
same as one decided on a few weeks
the agreement to the effect that the
street car company can never be Civ
en- a right of way on the crossing un-
less by a special act of council, in
which case the street car company
must pay it's share of the cost of the
construction of the subway to the
city and the railroad company. At
the meeting yesterday the railroad
company was represented by Attor-
ney John l.. Rupe, Superintendent l..
Ohliger of the Indianapolis division
and Superintendent Nettleton Neff of
the Richmond division. The city
was represented by the board of pub
lie works, the council committee and
City Attorney Gardner.
At council meeting Monday evening
the agreement between the Nity and
the railroad company will be present
ed, and in all probability will be rati-
fed. A copy of the agreement will
be sent to the railroad officials at
Pittsburg for their approval. After
these technicalities have been dis.
posed Of advertisements for bids
on the contract for the job will be
published the required length of time
then the contract will be awarded to
the lowest bidder. The approximate
cost for the construction of this
underhead crossing is in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 and the work will
probably start about the first of July.

Motor Car CoIIides with a Pole
at New Brunswick Killing
Driver.
WOMAN BADLY INJURED
MACHINE WAS RUNNING AT SUCH
HIGH RATE SPEED THAT TELE-
GRAPH POLE WAS BROKEN At
BASE.
Publishers Press1


New Brunswick, N. j., June l.
Frank Allsopp, of Newark, was killed,
and his wife had both legs fractured
in an automobile accident near this
city late this afternoon. Allsopp,
while running at fast clip, swung his
automobile across the road to avoid a
wagon and crashed into a telegraph
pole, killing him almost instantly.
That the automobile was running at
a high speed is evidenced by the fact
that the machine struck the pole with
such force as to break it near the
ground and also break off the cross
arm at the top where the wires were
fastened. The pole was about a foot
in diameter at the bottom.
In the automobile, besides Allsopp
and his wife, were their three nieces
Misses Nellie and Annie Allsopp and
Miss Florence Baker.
Mr.. Allsopp was a member of the
firm of Allsopp Brothers and lived a,
120 James street
The party left Asbury Park where
they spent the day, and on the out
skirts of the city they approached a
butcher wagon. In trying to pass the
wagon, Allsopp must have lost con
troll of the machine, which shot across
the roadway down into the ditch and
crashed into the pole. All were
thrown out except Allsopp, who was
doubled up in the machine.
Mrs. Allsopp was brought to this
city in an ambulance and taken to
Wells hospital. Allsopp's body was
taken to the morgue.

WILL ASK COUNCIL
FOR sum OF $4,000
Money Is Needed in CeIebrat-
ing Richmond'S Hundredth
Birthday.
ACTION BY ASSOCIATION
THOSE IN CHARGE OF THE AZ
FAIR FEEL THAT THE RE-
QUEST Is A MOST WORTHY
ONE AND WILL BE GRANTED.

With a view to determine what the
attitude of the general public will be
toward the proposed celebration of
the one hundredth anniversary of the
settlement of Richmond. the execu-
tive committee of the Centennial AS
sociation determined. at a meeting
held yesterday to go before the coun-
Gil at its meeting Monday night and
ask for an appropriation of $4,000 to
partially cover the cost of the cele-
bration. OF this amount 1t is desired
that $1.00 be voted toward the publi-
cation of the history and that $4,000
go to the other expenses. 1t Is conten-
ded that as this is purely a munich
pal matter, and not to the interest
of any man or set of men, the Coun-
cil in rejecting the sentiment of the
general public, should set its stamp
of approval on the celebration and
should assist it financially This will
furnish a substantial groundwork up
on which to work and 1t is believed
by the committee that interest in the
project will at once become enthusi-
astic.
Sub Committee is Named.
President Cyrus w. Hodgin, of the
Centennial Association. Supt. T. A.
Mott, B. B. Myrick, Jr., and Prof,
Walter s. Davis were named as
committee to appear before the Coun
Gil Monday evening and make state
ment to that body as to the Centen
nial celebration, giving all the infor
| nation the council may desire. Today
| City Attorney Gardner will be asked
| to draw up a resolution providing for

be presented Monday night

ing to vote it financial aid, that 1t will
be only the legal phase of the matter
that will need to be considered.
Much preliminary work on the Gen.
tennial has been done, the commit
tees have their work well in hand and
it only remains to find what the finan-
cial resources are to be. Should coun-
Gil vote the $4,000 asked. this with
what could be raised by the Ways
and Means Committee of the Associ-
alton would provide for highly cred
liable celebration; one that would
give Richmond more beneficial adver-
tising than it has ever had before for
single event.

publishers Pressl

Washington, June 1.-The Senate
today passed the employers liability
bill, heard Mr.. Morgan (Ala.) de.
nounce Cubas control of the Isle OF
Pines as a dirty despicable de facto
government" and entered in to a spir
tied debate over the proposal to au
thorize the purchase of all Panama
canal machinery and supplies in
America except where the president
held the price to be exhorbitant.
The venerable Alabama senator
stood as the champion of the Ameri
cans who are opposing the ratifica
tion of treaty recognizing Cuba S
sovereignty over the Isle of Pines
He spoke of his resolution. which pro-
vides for a senatorial committee OF
seven to visit the island. and of gov
ernmental conditions. Ills charges OF
misgovernment were highly sensa
tional.
Mr.. Hale moved to refer it to the
committee on foreign relations. Mr.
Morgan desisted. He charged that the
Cuban government treated the Amer
lean residents there in a severe un
just and unlawful manner and deman
ded "a rational just and honest set
tlement of a question that has taken
hold of the public sentiment and that
cannot be suppressed" Pointing to
the declaration of secretary of state
Root that the island was always Gu
ban territory, he exclaimed:
IF this is true, why is he here de
manding the ratification of treaty
which purposes the sale of the is
land to the Cuban government If he
believes what he has urged through
political or personal reasons let hin
take this treaty out of this body"
The matter went over without &C
tion.
When the resolution directing the
purchase of canal material and sup
plies from American manufacturers
was taken up. Mr.. Stone (Mo.) ridi
culed the attitude of the president
whom he declared had said that he
would have all such material pur
chased in the cheapest market. but
that his "pronounciamento had end
ed in the customary Rooseveltiar
| fiasco."
