General Manager Carr Ap-
pears Before Commercial
Club to Get Its Support.
WANT STREET VACATED
COMPANY WANTS PART OF
NORTH FOURTEENTH STREET
TO DOUBLE CAPACITY OF ITS
PRESENT PLANT.

James A. Carr, general manager of
the American Seeding Machine Com
pany, last night met with the direc-
tors of the Richmond Commercial
Club to formally present the PROPOSE
ton that his company will make to
the city Of Richmond, relative to the
proposed vacation of that part of
North Fourteenth street. between E
street and the Pennsylvania railroad
tracks. In return for this conces-
sion the American Seeding Machine
Company proposes to erect a new fac
tory building, to adjoin it's present
plant, which will not only occupy the
vacated street but will also occupy
the plot of ground that abuts upon
the street on the east side. thus CIV
ing almost double the area now occu-
pied and consequently increasing the
capacity of the plant to such a degree
that from $50 to 200 additional men
will be employed.
Few Directors Present.
Owing to the fact that the notice
y
short there was not a full member
ship of the directorate of the Com
mercial Club present and another
meeting will be held this evening. 1t
is expected that the Commercial Club
will use it's good Offices in an effort
to have the city council grant the
prayer of the American Seeding Ma
chine Company and vacate the street
In question, believing that in tender
ing it's influence that it will indirectly
be aiding the city.
For long time the Hoosier plant
has been handicapped because of a
lack of room in several of its depart
ments. Never in the history of seed
ing machine manufacturing has the
demands upon the Hoosier plant been
so great as during the past year and
the need for increased capacity has
been apparent for months. The prob.
lem of the company has been how to
provide an increase in capacity when
there was no way to enlarge the
plant.
All Space Now Used.
Every available inch of ground be-
tween Thirteenth and Fourteenth
streets from f street to the railroad
tracks is occupied, and the ground
east of the plant has been used for
storing lumber. To use this plot of
ground for a factory addition that
would be separated from the balance
Of the plant by Fourteenth street was
not deemed an expedient move and
the plan to prevail upon the city to
vacate the street and permit the com.
pany to build upon it as well as upon
the ground on the east side of the
street suggested itself.
The officers of the American Seed,
ing Machine Company assert that the
addition contemplated will cost ap.
proximately 100000 and also declare
that within the space of two years at
the farthest. the force of employees
can be increased from $50 to 500 men.

RituaIistic Services at First
and Second Presbyterian
Churches Hereafter.
BOOK NOT YET ARRIVED
1T WAS ARRANGED By DR.. HEN
RY VAN DYKE AND WILL REV.
oLUTIoNIzE SERVICES IN PRES.
BYTERIAN CHURCHES.

A new prayer book, called the Book
of Common Worship, for Voluntary
Use, and arranged by DR.. Henry Van
Dyke, one of the leading Presbyterians
has been issued and will revolutionize
services in the churches of this de-
nomination in America. Only the
Presbyterian churches belonging to
the assembly known as the Presbyte-
rian Church of the United States of
America are affected, but as this
branch is the largest, the greater per
cent. of the churches are concerned.
The First and Second churches Of
the new books are received the SER
vices will be radically changed.
No System Heretofore.
Owing to the fact that there has
never been any systematic form of
service in the Presbyterian church.
but each pastor conducted his service
according to his own wishes, it was
agreed at a meeting of the Presbyte-
rian General Assembly several months
ago, to draft book for forms which
should be followed by pastors if they
wished to do so. DR.. Henry Van
Dyke, of Princeton University, was
chairman of this committee and in his
report not long ago, he presented a
book which is very similar to the one
in use in tn Episcopal churches.
Forms for a regular Sunday service:
special Sunday, dedicatiops, fl -eraI
marriages, prayer meetings, are AL set
forth in this book and will be followed
by the majority of pastors, although
it is optional with the ministers.
Members Must Learn.
Heretofore there have been several
such books in use, but none of them
covered the field of this one. Those
in use were arranged by DR.. Herrick
Johnson, DR.. Hodge or some other
prominent man in the church and
wre all different. The purpose of the
new book is to have a similarity in all
the services in the churches Of this
denomination in the country, so that
a pastor going from one church to
another can follow out his old Gus
toms and practices.
The new forms will be put into use
here as soon as the book \ ives
Members of the church will be expect
ed to become familiar with the servic-
es as is the custom in other churches
where set forms are used. The Rev.
Graham stated last evening that the
new form of worship will be received
favorabiy in Richmond. He said that
one of the several books containing
forms had been in use before, TO a
limited extent, but the advent of the
new book will revolutiorize his servic-
es, in some ways.

Managers Murray and Sun
Contemplate Erecting a
Vaudeville. Theater Here.
NEW HOUSE AT LIMA, OHIO
If IT PROVES TO BE A SUCCESS
THE RICHMOND PLAYHOUSE is
ASSURED - WILL KEEP THE
NEW PHILLIPS.

The last of this month Manager
Murray. of the New Phillips Theatre,
and Manager Gus Sun, of the Sun
Vaudeville House Springfield, Ohio,
will open a now vaudeville house in
Lima. O.. which has been in the
cours of erection for. the past few
months II this house proves satisfac.
tory, one built on the same plans will
be erected in Richmond either this
summer or early in the fall. Manager
Murray made this statement yester-
day. Just where the theatre will be
located, Manager Murray refused to
state. Talking on the matter, Mr..
Murray said:
THE house Sun and myself are
about to open at Lima will seat about
500 or coo people. and it is designe d
solely for vaudeville house. If We
find that it answers the purpose for
which it was erected a duplicate will
be erected in Richmond. Richmond
is splendid town for vaudeville, but
the local vaudeville patrons are differ
ent from those in other towns. You
have to give them the best in the bust
ness. In other towns the people are
content with three acts, but in this
city you have to give them five acts.
Another thing is. you can only charge
ten cents admission while in other
places fifteen and twenty cents admis-
sion is asked and received. Not
withstanding Richmond is good vau.
deville town and Sun and myself in
tend to build fine home for the pop
ular amusement"
Manager Murray does not intend to
give up the New Phillips Theatre aft
er the new play house is built. He
states that the New Phillips will be
devoted to melodrama, stock shows
and burlesque.
