WOULD CONTROL
STREET DIGGING
Board of Works Makes PrOpO-
sition to Telephone and
Light Companies.
DON'T MEET WITH FAVOR
COMPANIES SAY THEY NOW PAY
SKILLED LABORERS TO DO
THEIR WORK AND GIVE BOND
TO RESTORE STREETS.

The City of Richmond, through .he
Board of Public Works, makes the fol-
lowing proposition to your company;
that whenever the streets or alleys of
this city are torn up by your COM
pany, for any purpose whatever, the
same shall be put back into condition
by the Superintendent of Streets,
acceptable to the Board and the City
Engineer, and bill for the actual ex-
pense of the same rendert:d y1Ir COM
oany.
The board believes that if this prop
osition is agreed to, it will eliminate
much of the controversy over the mat
ger that has taken place between your
company and the city. (SignedD
City of Richmond.
THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS..
The above proposition was mailId
yesterday to the Home Telephone
Company, the Light, Heat and Power
Company, the Natural Gas company
and to the Central Union Telephone
company. BY such a proposition the
city hopes to do the work of digging
trenches, and when the pipes, condu-
its or other underground apparatus is
street or alley in it's former condition.
A bill for the actual expense of tits
work will then be sent the company.
In case that such a step should be
agreed to, the chuck holes and depres-
siOns in the streets, and the uneven
ness of many of the alleys, would be
done away with. 1t would also give
the city an opportunity to employ
more men under it's name, although
not costing the city any more than at
the present
The propositions had not been re-
ceived by the four companies last
night and they would render no def
mite statements in regard to the pro
posal
1t is highly probably, however, that
the companies will oppose any such
move. Some of the officials yester
day in discussing the matter said they
could not see the advantage of allow
ing the city to do their work When
they have skilled men, paid for that
purpose. They say they now have
to give a bond that the street will be
placed in as good condition after their
work is finished as before it was be-
gun.

If Hearst Gets Too Storing
President Will Speak for
His Friend Hughes.
SITUATION IS CRITICAL
ALFRED HENRY LEWIS THE
WELL KNOWN POLITICAL WRl-
TER SAYS HEROIC MEASURES
MUST BE TAKEN AT ONCE.

indianapolis, Ind. Oct 6. (Spl.l-A
special to the News from Washington
says:
president Roosevelt is taking a
lively interest in the New York cam
paign. He is hoping that he will not
have to appear on the stump in the
State, but it is now evident that he
will not hesitate to take that step
if State Chairman Woodruff decides
later on that Hearst is running so
sarong as to the mon of the newt is
strong as to imperil the Republican
candidate The President is daily
in communication with emissaries
from the New York Republican COM
mittee and he is using the telephone
frequently in offering suggestions to
candidate Hughes and State Chair
man Woodruff.
THE last advices from the seat of
war are not reassuring from the ad
ministration' standpoint. Represen-
tatives Payne, Dwight and other in
fluential New York Republicans who
have been here this week to see the
President by appointment all gave
out statements for publication saying
that Hughes will undoubtedly be ell
ected, but PRIV tely the men who
have been in consultation with, the
President express much concern over
the situation.
Would be Calamity
Alfred Henry Lewis, the well
known political writer, who came
here today to talk with the President
believes Hearst will win unless the
put forth some heroic eff
forts.
The President makes no secret of
his belief that the election of Hearst
as Governor of the greatest State in
the Union, would be almost a calam-
ity. 1t is this feeling that leads him
to think seriously of taking an open
part in the campaign If conditions
do not improve. During the last two
weeks of the New York struggle the
Republicans viii call to their assis-
tance prominent speakers from every
section of the country, with the hope
Of stemming the tide which the know
ing ones declare has set in among
the people for Hearst"

CHAPTER 1.

CHAPTER l.
Z was in 1885, about midwinter,
IL when Brier Dale was a narrow
clearing, and the horizon we'll up
in the sky and to anywhere a
days journey. Down by the shore of
the pond there Theron Allen built his
house. Today. under thickets of tansy,
one may see the rotting logs, and there
are hollyhoeks and catnip in the old
garden. He was from Middlebury,
they say, and came west-he and his
wife-in 1929 From the top of the hill
above Aliens of "a clear day one could
look far across the treetops over dis
tant settlements that were as blue
patches in the green canopy of the for
est, over hill and dale to the smoky
chasm of the st. Lawrence, thirty miles
north The Aliens had not Il child.
They settled with no thought of school
or neighbor They brought a cow with
them and a big collie whose back had
been Scared by lynx. He was good
company and a brave hunter, this dog,
and one day-it was February, four
years after their coming, and the snow
lay deep-he left the dale and not even
went searching, but saw no sign of
him. Near a month later, one night
past. II O'Clock, they heard his bark in
the distance. Allen rose and lit can
die and opened the door. They could
hear him palmer. and now, mingled
with his barking, faint tinkle of bells.
1t had begun to thaw, and a cold
rain was drumming on roof and win
dow
Hes crossing the pond,' said Allen
as he listened. Hes dragging some
heavy thing over the ice"
Soon he leapod in at the door. the lit
tie red sleigh botlncing after him. The
dog was in shafts and harness. Over
the sleigh was a tiny cover of sail
cloth shaped like that of prairie
schooner. Bouncing over the doorstep
had walked its traveller, and there was
a loud voice of complaint in the little
cavern of sailcloth. Peering in, they
saw only the long fur of a ggay wolf.

HAVANA, November 26.-With the cap
ture yesterday of the Cienfuegos band of
eight men, who took torsthe woods under
ex-Chief of Police Ruis. the last vestige
Of disorder in Cuba has disappeared Ruis
was at first reported to have large fol-
lowing. but the capture of the men referred
to has proved this to be untrue.
The reports received by Gov. Magoon
from all parts of the island show that per-
feet tranquility prevails. There is not even
the faintest rumor of trouble anywhere.
Investigation Of the reports that bands of
insurgents were operating In the vicinity
Of Palmyra and Guines prove them to be
unfounded.
The dispatch Of a detachment Of Ameri-
can marines yesterday to Palmyra Is ex-
planned as being simply for the purpose
of relieving the garrison in accordance
with the plans made week ago. Mr.. Ma
COON is much gratified at the peaceful con-
dition of affairs.
Secretary Taft received the following
dispatch today from Gov Magoon at Ha-
vana, under yesterdays date:
Band from Cienfuegos overhauled by
detachment of Rural Guards under COM
mand of Capt Landa. They were taken
into custody and disarmed with difficulty
and are now being brought to Cienfuegos.
Band was composed of eight men,"

Execution Of William Burge, Convict
ed Of Murder.


According to the terms of the sentence
was convicted Of the murder of his wife,
Daisy Burge, and Of an attempt to send his
mother-in-law and another member of the
family to the grave, he is to pay the ex-
IRENE penalty of the law one week froom
tomorrow. 1t is not necessary for Warden
Harris to ma. much prepa- ton { r the
event, the scat. old being pea ma nent struc-
ture and there being guards enough on
duty to carry out such a sentence at any
time. The condemned man is said to be
doing all in his power to make the jail
officials and others believe he is insane, al
though d jury has said that he is sane and
two juries have said he should suffer death.
Burge positively refuses to converse with
ministers or other callers. but he does talk
to other prisoners at times. When a per-
son calls upon him who presents the ap-
pearance of a minister or physician the
conduct of the condemned man Is such that,
he thinks. is calculated to cause the belief
that his mind Is affected. Yesterday when
Rev. John Roberts called upon him he made
an apparent effort to spring at him as II
he wanted to brighten him.
gelist, and Burge Immediately obeyed the
command.
The prisoner would not speak q word,
however, and the minister had to leave his
cell and conduct the usual Sunday service
without the satisfaction of knowing he had
made good impression upon the man who
is so soon to die. 1t is possible that the
action of the counsel for the condemned
man in taking the case to the Court of APP
peals may cause a postponement Of the
execution, but should there be such a post
ponement, it is believed, it will be for but
short time unless the case is advanced
upon the docket.
