GENERAL CONDITION.

Fair and warmer weather is pre-
dicted. The tropical storm, which
moved from the Gulf of Mexico north
ward over the interior of the country,
losing energy as it crossed the coun-
try the past few days. is now over
Eastern Ontario. 1t caused some rain
in the Ohio valley, and was attended
by occasional rains in the lake re-

EPIDEMIC is NOW PASSING
Closing of School Has Helped Health
Authorities Stop the Spread of
Measles.

The epidemic of measles. which
was centered mainly IN the commu-
nifty around the Starr School. is slow
ly passing away, and instead of a
gain in new cases over the number
of those cured, each day, about as
many cards are being taken down as
are being put up. There are still
about forty cases. however. but since
school has been dismissed for the
summer, the disease will not have as
much chance to spread. Several hum
dred people were attacked during the
epidemic, which commenced about a
month ago.

Board of Works Signs Agree
ment Giving Central Union
Underground Right.
THE ACTION is NOT FINAL
AGREEMENT MUST BE SIGNED
BY THE COMPANY AND THEN
PRESENTED TO CITY COUN-
cIL-PLAN NOW SUGGESTED.

Notwithstanding the statements
made by the members of the board of
public works and City Attorney Gard
ner about six weeks ago that the
agreement submitted the board by
the Central Union Telephone Com
pany for the placing of their wires
underground would never be agreed
to by the city until a clause had been
inserted in the agreement guarantee
ing a maximum rate for telephone
charges, an agreement for the build
ing of conduits in the first alley north
of Main street, minus the maximum
rate clause, was signed Saturday by
the members OF the board and the Of
ficials of the company at indianapolis
will attach their signatures to the
document today. This evening the
agreement will be presented to coun-
Gil for ratification and it is expected
the Central Union Company will have
a strong lobby on hand for the pur-
pose of obtaining favorable action.
Compromise Suggested.
The first of this year when the Gen.
trail Union Telephone Company re-
newed it's agitation for placing its
Main street wires in conduits it was
seen that council looked askance at
or two months agox compromise
measure in the nature of an agree
ment to place all Main street wires in
conduits was drawn up by the Cen
trail Union people and presented to
the board of public works for their
approval When the agreement was
considered Mr.. Gardner objected to
it because there was no clause incor-
porated in the agreement which guar
anteed a maximum rate of charges
for telephones in private residences
and in business houses and general
Offices.
Suet. Kline Was Determined.
Superintendent of Construction
Robert Kline informed Mr.. Gardner
and the board that mis- company new
er accepted agreements which con-
tanned such clauses and that the rule
could not be broken IN this case as 1t
would establish a precedent that
would be detrimental to the COM
pary's best interests. Mr.. Gardner
then stated that all negotiations be-
tween the city and the Central Union
Company could be considered sus-
pended until the company saw fit to
accept the agreement which contain
ed the maximum clause. In an inter.
view after this meeting Mr.. Kline
stated that the city would be given
limited time to accept the agreement
without the rate clause and In the
event that the city did not "come to
time the reconstruction OF the Cen
trail Union lines in Richmond would
be made overhead.

STREET CAR JACK"
PAID CITY VISIT
A Canine with Mania for Rid
ing Electric Cars, Was
Here Last Week.
LEFT HERE GOING WEST
INTELLIGENT ANIMAL MADE
HEADQUARTERS AT STREET
CAR BARNS AND RODE CARS
CONSTANTLY WHILE HERE.

A tramp dog, with winning way,
and a mania for riding on electric
cars, came to Richmond one day last
week and spent forty-eight hours In
specting the Quaker City and the out
look for a permanent location. After
making a careful tour, he climbed
aboard an interurban car on the In
dianapolis & Eastern Railway, and
taking a seat in the motorman's vesti-
bule, rode west, from whence he came.
The dog, which was a small brindle,
just happened" in on Thursday night.
He jumped off an interurban car from
the west, at the car barns, shortly aft
er dark, and went in the barns to see
what was going on. Some OF the con-
ductors and motormen were there and
they petted and fed him. He imme-
diately made friends and spent the
night curled up on car seat. In the
morning, he came over to Eighth and
Main and jumped off to see how he
liked the business center. Nothing
doing! SO he rode with the south end
car down and back and then went
back to the barns, on the West Rich
mond car. Whether or not he knew
where he was going, Is not known, but
the motormen insist that he made
quick and accurate changes. After
spending a half hour at the barns, he
came over to Eighth and IIain again
and took a West Richmond car, which
he stayed with all day. He took an
especial liking to Elmer Rhodes, the
motorman, and did not leave the car,
except to stretch his legs once In a
while, until night.
That night he spent loafing around
the city, and early next morning, com
menced to ride again. He rode all
day, but in the evening, jumped off at
the barns, and later took the local car
west. This dog is the rival of Pan
Handle Jack" of the Pennsylvania
road, who likes to ride on the steam
road. but electricity seems to appeal
more strongly to this member of the
canine family than does any other
mode of travel, and he is making a
cheap tour of the country. The dog
did not commit himself in the matter
of who bought the Dayton & Western,
but the fact that he refused to ride
on the yellow cars. gives the impres
sion that it was not the same syndi-
cate that owns the I. & E.

JEWS SEND FORTH APPEAL.
Five Members of the Douma Ask the
Powers to Intercede for Them.

st. Petersburg, Via. Helsingfors,
June 1S.-The following appeal. sign
ed by five Jewish members of the
douma, has been sent to the principal
capitals of the world.
THE outbreak at Bielostok is clear
ly but the beginning of an organized
planned massacre which will eclipse
the record of the bloody days on last
October. Only energetic intervention
on the part of the powers will pre-
vent most terrible catastrophe. and
the murder of hundreds of innocents.
The peril is imminent and we appeal
to all to use their influence to remedy
present conditions.

Philadelphia. June 17-Musical /
Fund Hall in this city was the scene |
today of memorial exercises to cele- |
brate the fiftieth anniversary of the
Republican party. In this SAME hall,
in 1856, General John G. Fremont,
known as THE Pathfinder" was nom-
mated to bear the standard of Re- !,
publicanism as the candidate for.
president of the United States. and
on that day the Republican party was
born. II
This afternoon, more than two hum
dred old men. Republicans. who were
present at the birth. were honored
and beloved participants in todays 3
celebration.
The services today were the begin.
ming of four days of celebrating in
honor of the party. The historic hall.
situated on Locust street above
eights was filled to the doors. The
stage itself was overcrowded. The
heat was intense but the enthusiasm
never for moment Jagged. Patriotic
speech after speech was delivered
and the many women in the adience
joined just as enthusiastically as did
the men in the applause that follow
ed.
Republican Clubs In Charge.
The convention is under the aus.
pices of the National League of Re-
publican clubs. The president of the
league, Mr.. J. Hampton Moore. of this
city, has had the arrangements for
the convention in hand and today
when he stepped to the front of the
stage he was loudly cheered. IF your
hearts thrill with fever let 1t out" he
said when the cheering subsidized.
There Is now coming among you the
veterans of the first great fight and
want you to give them cordial well
| come
The vast audience needed no sug-
gestion to do this. Headed by the vet
eran old Fremont voter. T. B. M. Ad-
dis, the men marched in. two by two.
Some of them were SO feeble they
could barely walk. Their progress in
| to- the hall was to the accompaniment
of deafening cheers. The faces OF
these men who fifty years ago laid
| the foundations of the Republican
| party, lit up at the tumultuous greet
ing Men and women mounted chairs
| and drowned out band with their
cheers as the old voters every one OF
| them past the allotted three score
| and ten years marched. slowly but
proudly to the seats that had been
reserved for them. in the front of the
hall.
1t was an inspiring sight. 1t was
more like the ancient greeting OF q
victorious army that welcome to
the tattered remnants of an army
that half a century ago fought for a
political party, with the ballots as
their only weapon. For ten minutes
the cheering kept up. Flags. handker.
chiefs and hats were waved and toss.
| ed while their owners cheered to the
echo. Then. as fitting close to this
remarkable reception the band struck
up America" in which everybody
| joined.

The plumbing work in the new struc-
ture was done by Grand Rapids
(Mich firm to whom the contract had
been snb let by Contractor Hickman.
The plumbers of this city examined
the work several weeks ago, and stated
that the plumbing did not meet the re-
quirements of the specifications and that
it was very defective. Several of the
local plumbers appeared before the com
mittee at a meeting held some time ago,
and pointed out all the defects in the
work.
At Saturdays meeting of the commit
tee it was decided TO have an outside ex
