OHIO SOLDIERS
INVADE THE CITY
Buckeye State Regiment Makes
Fine Impression During
Flying Visit.

For short while last evening the
streets of Richmond were alive with
military men from another State.
Their mission was entirely peaceful,
and 1t was not necessary to calls out
the soldiery of Virginia to- resist the
invasion.
The secopa Regiment Of Ohio volun-
teers. about 600 ,strong, have been on
a trip to'Jafnestown. and having taken
in the exposition and all the side
shows started yesterday morning on
their return trip homeward. They
came upnthe James on a special boat
OF the Virginia Navigation Company
that they might get a passing view
of the Colonial homes and other places
OF historic interest, and reached here
at $40 p. NJ.
A Chesapeake and Ohio train, run
ming in two sections, was prepared
to take the soldier boys westward,

departure 10 $40. The Ohio boys made
the best OF the three hours given
them in Richmond, and saw many
of the sights worth seeing.

soldiers, and made a good impression

her senses. but the intervals were

WRATH OF CUTSHAN
/. FALLS ON THE CHIEF
City TO Investigate, but No Hint
OF Graft This
Time.
WAR OVER CUT IN DOOR
Matter Goes to Committee, and
City Hall Dignitaries Dope
Out Result.
WAR OVER CUT IN DOOR

There is the delightful prospect of
another Investigation by the city-with
no hint of graft. AS startling as
this may seem. 1T has created no end
of comment around the City Hall, and
Engineer Cutshaw and Chief Werner
VIII be the opposing warriors Yester-
day an effort was made 10 bring in a
hint of scandal. for it was said that
the heavy oak door to the chiefs Of
flee. which mad been cut without au-
thority. was not oak, only thin We
neer being on the surface Then came
the hint of rafting the dead bones OF
the municipal structure, but that idea
= brushed by.
Without malice, without an attempt
to mutilate city property, Chief Wer-
ner, as heretofore explained, wanted
a slit cut in the door so that the mail
man and others could drop in let
tiers. He proceeded with the work.
when the news spread TO the thirdi
floor. Colonel Cutshaw sat up and
took notice. He called stenographers
dictated a letter to the chief and dist
patched it by public servant, but ths
deed was committed.
All of this would be of little intetf
est to the public-and the taNpayers-t
but the matter is going to a highes
body for Investigation. The pleasant
relations existing between The coloner
and the chief were not shattered when
the carpenter dug into the oak. and
they still speak as they pass in tho
night. But law Is law, and Colonel
Cutshaw is its custodian He has re-
ported the infraction of rules to the
Grounds and Buildings Committee, and
the warriors Will face an array of al
dern1anic talent and heal the official
breach. But that which was cut from
! the door cannot be replaced.

TOURISTS TRAINS
Report That Railroads May Not
Operate Them This
Winter.

According TO reports from various
points in the South. the Southern Rail
way and the Seaboard AIR Line have
practically agreed to discontinue the
operation of tourist trains from the
East and West If the Atlantic Coast
Line Will consent to the same arrange
ment. Thus far, however, there is no
official announcement concerning this
move. Dispatches from Savannah say
that. the trains have not paid hereto
fore, and with the reduced passenger
rates, which will eventually cut the
tariff on interstate business, the roads
VIII be forced to curtail and leave the
tourist travel to be handled by the
trains which run the year round.
The Atlantic Coast Line was the
pioneer in providing luxurious travel
ms palaces for the winter, and the
other lines had to provide the same
facilities. The trains are operated on
very fast schedule. and part of the
season there Is not much traffic
northward, just as. there is none
ssouthward in the late spring. There
FORE a train from New York to ST
Augustine has to earn enough for tho
round trip.
The Southern's Palm Limited, said
to be the best in the South does not
pass Richmond, as it takes the main
line from Washington to Lynchburg
and Dau*itte, and then on to Florida.
The Atlantic Coast Line Special and
the Seaboard Limited touch this city,
however, and give superior service
