so far as the sanitary condition of the
high school basement is concerned it
it not an unfit place TO be used for
class rooms. He states that the new
heating plant at the school constant
ly supplies the basement as well as
other parts of the building with fresh
air and that, if there is any complaint
to be found at all, there is not enough
moisture in the basement of the high
school. Mr.. Mott admits that it is
not desirable to place students or
teachers in the basement but mis- rea-
sons for making this statement are
because the basement always has to
be lighted by electricity; because it
is unattractive and because it adds an
other flight of stairs for the pupils to
climb. The school board realizes
should be built and this improvement
will be made as soon as the required
$50, 900 can be raised. To do this an
increase in the school tax would have
to be made. Already the school board
has increased the school tax for next
year four cents" stated Mr. Mott
Speaking on the subject of docking
teachers when they are incapacitated
for duty, Mr.. Mott states that the
Richmond school board is more lem
lent in this respect than any other
school board in the state, except FIT
Wayne. Mr.. Mott stated that when
the expenditure of public money is at
a stake, rules have to be made gov
erning the expenditure Of this money.
He stated that the rule of the local
school board is that when a teacher is
absent from duty for a period of more
than one day the teacher receives on
ly twenty per cent. of his or her SAL
airy. The remainder is used to pay the
substitute instructor If a teacher is
incapacitated for duty for one day or a
part Of a day the teacher is not
"docked." This same rule has been
adopted by the Ft. Wayne school
board. Elsewhere in the state teach
ers are docked for all the time they
are off duty.

Tuesday night his text was Awake
Thou That Sleepest. and Rise from the

that many people are asleep as to their
own best interests and are found giving
great attention to questions of but lit

words. this clarion call. is to people
who had been quickened and seated by
the Holy Spirit and had then become
sleepy. Among the calls used to
awaken his congregation Mr.. Shannon
said that the church needs to get its
eyes open as to what it is in the world
for, and that if a church is not engaged
in the work OF soul winning it is out
of business. He appealed to those pres

tried to lead soul to Christ in the

THE ACCUSATION.

After the doors of the Knicker-
booker Trust Company closed Tues
day William Turnbull. fourth vice
president. in an interview with New
York newspaper men, laid the re-
cent financial troubles at the door
of President Roosevelt.
He did not name the president,
but the inference could not be mis-
understood When asked if he meant
Roosevelt in the startling charges
he made the trust company official
refused to deny that he was the man
suggested. He said:
"All the disturbance in the money
market has been caused by one man.
who in the last six months. in public
and private speeches. has been grad
ually undermining the credit system
of the country. Monday night the
Knickerbocker Trust Company had
assets way in excess of its liabilities,
and in one night the confidence of
its patrons and it's credit was de-
stroyed. This was brought about
by one man. and that, a man who
knew nothing whatever of the credit
system"
One of the reporters asked Mr..
Turnbull whether he was referring
to President Roosevelt.
You know perfectly we'll who l
mean" replied Mr.. Turnbull. There
is no need for me to specify"

balloon that was in apparent distress
just north of Richmond Tuesday. The
"Pommern" was the only balloon en-
tered in the race that was of yellow
color and that was the color of the
balloon that was seen to be in trouble
north of town. This balloon while
passing north over Richmond was
seen to suddenly sink earthwards at a
rapid date of speed and was checked
in it's descent by throwing out ballast
an operation that was readily seen by
several onlookers through field glass
es. After it regained its position at
a higher Level in the air ii made off
rapidly in a north easterly direction.
This same balloon was seen near
Whitewater and at that time II was
again very near the earth.
The balloon that passed directly ov-
er Richmond about one o'clock in the
afternoon was undoubtedly the French
balloon "Anjou." AS It passed over
the city several people on top of the
tower at the rear of Mrs. J. NJ. Gaar's
residence on North Eighth St, waved
to 1t and in answer the occupants OF
the car could be plainly seen by the
aid of field glasses waving back with
the flag of France.
In all, six balloons passed over or
near Richmond Tuesday. The first
one was sighted at nine o'clock in the
morning and was followed an hour lat
er by another balloon. Both these
balloons passed to the south of Rich
mond. At noon another balloon ap-
peared In the west and passed direct
ly over Richmond. This was the
French balloon '.Anjou." At the same
time the French balloon was passing
over Richmond another balloon was
travelling towards the east. 1t was
too far away to be identified. And at
this same time the German balloon
"Pommern" made its appearance with
a man working in the net work around
the balloon and as has been described
before, made a sudden descent, then
slowly recovered its former position
and made off to the northeast. Short
ly after this another balloon was seen
passing far to the south of Richmond.
1t seems a remarkable coincidence
that six out of the nine balloons
started in the international race should
have passed over or within sight of
Richmond, considering the great dis
tance travelled and the chance during
that time of varying winds changing
the course of the balloons sufficiently
to defect them from passing along a
fairly straight line over Wayne county
on their trip eastward.

at present. No local banks nave any
connection whatsoever with New York
banking institutions"
George Gates, President Union Nation
al Bank:
Il would not think the furry in New
York would affect the Richmond finan-
cial condition. There is no money
tightness in Richmond now"
f. G.. Hibberd, Richmond Trust CO.:
"The New York situation has no eff
feet on the Richmond financial world
The money market is very sound in
this city. People are just little con-
servative in placing loans, but there
is no tightness.'
Is Purely Local.
That the financial furry in New
York City is entirely confined to that
city, and will not spread over the
country or reach Richmond, is the
opinion of all Richmond business men
who have been consulted upon the
subject. Instead of a spirit of pessim-
ism reignins in this city, as has char
acterized the opinions of bankers in
New York, local heads of financial in
stitutions and those who study the
situation, are optimistic for the fu-
ture.
Local conditions were never pro-
nounced better. With plenty Of money.
the banks freely loan money on good
securities while private money lend
ers also feel safe where good securlt-
les are given.
The black. financial thunder cloud
lowering about the Wall street bank
ers, will vanish as mist before
brilliant summer sun, within a few
days, it is asserted locally, but not
until the spectators in Wall street
have been cleared from the l2giti-
mate bankers ranks. That their
! flight, which is directly responsible
for the present furry, is the best
thing that could have happened for the
banking business, the country over,
, is conceded among local financiers.
| With local conditions in this high
! degree of excellence, the Wall street
! squabble is being given but little con-
sideration here. There is no need Of
| fear in Richmond.

ROOSEVELT ANSWERS ACCUSER
Change Despite
THE REPLY.

In his speech at Nashville, Tues
day President Roosevelt uncon-
sciously replied to the charges made
by the New York Trust Company
official
In referring to the financial crisis
he said;
There has been trouble in the
stock market, in the high financial
world. during the last few months.
The statement has frequently been
made that the policies for which l
stand. legislative eand executive. are
responsible for that trouble. Now,
gentlemen, those policies of mine
can be summed in one brief SEN
tence. They represent the effort to
punish successful dishonesty.
doubt if those policies have had any
material effect in bringing about
the present trouble, but if they have
it will not alter in the slightest de-
gree my determination that for the
remaining sixteen months Of my
term these policies shall be persev-
cred unswervingly.
No man will stand more strongly
than | will in the defense of prop
erty, so long as it is honestly ac-
quired. and honestly used l will
stand against the poor man if he
does wrong just as 1 will stand
against A-e rich man if he does
wrong. I will stand against crimes
of brutal violence, just as I stand
against crimes of INSCRIPTIONS cum
ming. A crime is crime. and it
makes no difference whether the
wrong is perpetrated by plutocracy
or by a mob: by capitalist or by
a ge-worker."

away from home-from the church and
from heaven-while the parents are Civ
ing their attention to other things than
the eternal interests of their families.
He allowed that if the men who are
church members found their business
failing and themselves defeated in bust
ness as the churchmen of Richmond
are free to acknowledge defeat in the
church. there would be some close in
vestigation and some extreme measures
adopted. But who is concerned? Who
is awake as to the lack of interest in
and profit from the churches?
He asked what a visitor from some
other planet would think churches are
for in this country if he should come
in the season of shows, fairs. festivals
and the like, and how much interest he
could reasonably believe we have in
the worship of God when at the times
appointed for worship we are found at
clubs, lodges, theaters, balls and the
like.
We are not only to get awake but to
get up Some people are awake to the
extent that they see something of the
conditions but are doing nothing-will
not get up. Such people need not pray
for light They need none to sleep by.
If they will get up, light will come as
rapidly, as they will walk in it.

LOCAL CONDITIONS GOOD.
Richmond Bankers Say There is no
Cause For Alarm.

President A. D. Gayle. First National
Bank:
Il do not think the run on the Knic-
kerbocker bank will in any way effect
Richmond. The local market is good;
in fact it is in the best condition
known in it's history. The deposits
reach a higher figure than ever be-
fore and there is plenty of money.
The furry in New York is a rich
mans panic and will extend no far
ther than New York, according to my
opinion. The conditions there will be
improved, as the present agitation
will entirely clear the financial field
of gambling bank spectators. 1t is a
good thing that they are getting out
People of Richmond are rather conser-
vative about making loans, due to the
present furry perhaps, but there is
no actual money tightness here"
Samuel Gaar, Second National Bank:
New York conditions do not in any
way affect Richmond, as people Of
Richmond hold no New York stocks.
The furry there would naturally make
people here a little bit conservative
about negotiating loans, but a person
holding good collateral securities has
no trouble in securing any amount of
money he may desire. There is no
great demand for money in Richmond

METHODS NOT GOOD.
Nash Says Too Little Attention to De-

New York, Oct. 23-Wm. A. Nash,

house and Corn Exchange bank said
today that business has been carried
on with to little regard for safety of
depOsitors and with too great atten-
ton to profits of the men at the head
of those institutions. Failure of the

though he did not break the record
tl.ere are several experts here who still
believe that this record may go by the
board. They are also of the opinion
that the record for the duration, Al
