Who Dug the Sfanhole--

The city is building up a manhole
in preparation for the improvement
on Court street, which no one seems
10 claim. II Is located near the Odd
Fellows property on the south side
OF Court street half way between
High street and the alley, Just west
of the Rigdon undertaking parlors;
and when Street Commissioner Mar
tin, who Is overseeing the work In
preparing the street for the pave
ment came to the shaft leading down
to the sewer, he of course thought
that IL belonged to the Odd Fellows,
as 1t was near their property AMI
was connected with q branch pipe to
their building. AS the city did not
own Il, he went 10 the manager of
the Odd Fellows and informed them
that the manhole would have to be
built up before the pavement workers
should be ready 10 pave that part OF
the street, He was surprised 10 hear
that the Odd Fellows did not dig II
and did not know who did. The nee
essary improvements are being made
by Mr.. Martin, but he says that is a

Railroad Men Say it Will
Take Until OctoSer to
Prepare Change

RICHMOND, Aug. 17.-Rumors cur
rent today that the railroads operating
in Virginia would anticipate the date
for putting the 2-cent passenger rate
into effect by a month, has been en-
pnaucally denied by some Of the high
est railroad officials IN Richmond.
1t is stated that the roads are at
present engaged in formulating new
tariff sheets. instructions, and tickets.
and that Chis work, together with the
printing and issuing of these, will take
until nearly October ]. the date when
the new rate shall become effective.
The refusal of Judge Jeter c. Pritch-
ard. of the United States circuit court
TO consider the modification OF his in
junction until the regular term Of court
here next month, will not give the State
Corporation Commission time TO publish
the new rate as required by law.
Governor Swanson stated this after
noon that there viii be no hitch. how
ever. in making the rates effective. It
Rs presumed that the railroads, I'm ac-
cordance with their agreement with the
State. will go ahead and promulgate the

Washington Says Movement of Fleet
After Reaching San Francisco VIII
Depend Altogether Upon the DeveI.
opments OF the Next Six Months.

The program for the return of the
battleship fleet is a matter that has
been discussed among the officials Of
the navy department, but as yet no
decision has been reached, and will not
be for some time to come" said Sec
rotary of the Navy Metcalf Sunday.
The secretary's remark was called
out by wireless message from the
flagship Connecticut stating that Ad-
miral Evans had authorized the Assoc
ciated Press to say that 1t is personal
belief that the navy departments
present Intention is to have the battle
ship fleet return by way of the Suez
canal next summer or fall. AS the
president, through Secretary Loeb.
previously had spoken to the same
effect, 1t seems clear that Admiral E.v-
ans statement was not suggested by
any definite move so far determined
upon by those supreme in authority.
In naval circles the opinion prevails
that a squadron composed OF such
vessels as the voyage to the Pacific
shall have demonstrated to be the
pick OF the fleet" will be sent home
through the Suez canal, while the re-
rnainder will take the shorter route
around the Horn. 1t is not likely
however that all sixteen battleships
will make the return voyage, as the
desrability of a stronger fleet in the
Pacific may be met by the retention
of perhaps several of Admiral Evans
ships In those waters. But, like Adj
miral Evans belief as to the return
via the Suez canal, the question of per-
manently reinforcing the Pacific's
squadron has not progressed beyond
the discussion stage, and it's final de-
termination hinges upon developments
OF the next six months.
