tion Of affairs known as the balance
o. power" having been disturbed,
there is sure to follow period oI
uneasiness lasting until diplomacy
succeeds in adjusting the problems
which will confront the new confer
ence. Already the great Powers are
realigning-Great Britain, France and
Russia on one side, Germany, Austria
and possibly Italy on the other. AS
events progress the confusion of
issues and the growing rivalry be-
tween Great Britain and Germany
become more and more pronounced
and threaten to be among the chief
difficulties in shaping a new agree
ment. No one can possibly see any
presant chance of a struggle between
Great Britain and Germany; yet the
conflict of interests between these
great nations becomes more acute
each year; and it is not without
special significance that each is
watching the others naval progress
with exceptional cl oseness, that Ger
many is outmatching England in the
building Of Dreadnaughts, and that
neither could now be brought to an
agreement restricting their arma-
ment solely because of rapidly grow
ing mutual distrust. This, as uSt
said, may not mean war, but it does
mean that the great nations of Eu-
rope will be compelled to keep up
their costly armaments and Op-
pressive forms of taxation at
time when the people of
Europe are grOaning under these
burdens and seeking relief. Perhaps
the time is coming when the mere
cost of war will prove its greatest
prevention. Certainly Americans can
congratulate themselves upon their
immunity from sucl costly protection
against jealous neighbOrs.
a firmer tone has been developing
partly due to declining bank reserves,
to shipments of currency TO the in
terror, to slightly increased activity
in business, to purchases of Amer
can stocks sold by foreigners, and no
preparations for new security issues.
The latter movement is likely to play
a more important part than of late,
as there are still a number of large
corporations in the market whose
demands were postPsnSd as a result
Of the panic. One important issue
was announced this week, and others
will follow during the next three
months. In addition there are sew
eral refunding propositions of some
Importance that may make temporary
demands upon the money market
AS to the interior movement, that is
again proving larger than eXpectedi
The growing financial independence
of the West always creates the eX-
pectatiOn that this interior effluX will
be light; yet the fact that interior
banks leave their surplus funds on
deposit here and draw upon them
during crop and trade activity keeps
the to and fro movement alive longer
than many anticipate. There has
been some talk of gold exports,
largely because of the scarcity of bills,
and the recent buying of our stocks

FIRE RANGER SERVICE
Destructive Forest Fires in Al
berta Responsible for
Appeal.
LARGE RESERVE PROBABLE.

Edmonton, Alberta, June 6.-As a
result of the destructive forest fires
which have consumed several million
dollars worth of timber north of here
this spring, efforts are being made to
have the Canadian government extend
its fire ranger service over the north
ern part of Saskatchewan and Alberta.
and to establish new forest reserva-
ton which shall exceed in magnitude
anything of the kind which has hither-
to been attempted. At present the
largest Canadian reserve is the Rocky
Mountain Park in British Columbia,
which contains, 1852, 240 acres. The
proposed reserve, If the plan is carried
out, would exceed this by several mil
lion acres and would be larger even
than the great reserve which was Gre
ated year ago in the State OF Wash
ington, which covers an area of nearly
10000 square miles.

If A MOVEMENT is ON FOOT TO

OPPOSITION Is UNKNOWN.

If any attempt is being made or ev-
en- is contemplated by the temperance
forces of the city, to make it posi-
Bile to close the bar at the WeStcOtt
hotel. the fact is unknown to the au
thorities. 1t has been reported that in
view of the alleged violations of the
law, the temperance forces would
wage a battle against the hotel and
saloon The only way the WestcOtt
bar could be closed would be by a
blanket remonstrance effecting the
entire third ward or by an ordinance
of the city council declaring the Third
to be a residence ward. The remOn-
STRANGE would have to be presented to
the board of county commissioners.
1t is not believed likely that an at
tempt to make the Third a dry warl
by means of a rcmOnstrance would
succeed. There are seven or eight
saloons in the portion of the ward ly-
ing south of the Panhandle railroad
tracks. 1t might be possible to put
ar ordinance through council making
the ward a residence district, which
would eliminate saloons under the
Moore law. 1t is extremely doubtful
however, if the present council could
be prevailed upon to take such a step.

PATROLMAN ANGRY
Does Not Like 1t Because His
Name Was Mentioned
In Writeup.
BATTLE OF WORDS FOUGHT.

Patrolman William Longman, mem
Der of the Richmond police force is
incensed because OF the comment
made by local newspapers as the re-
suit OF his action in calling the patrol
wagon to convey two nine year old
boys to the police station. This morn
ing Longman endeavored TO take two
newspaper writer's to task for their
shortcomings in making personal
mention" of the fact he was the officer
making the arrest and using his name.
For a time it looked rs If Longman' 5
temper might pass beyond bounds.
He threatened to use his mace on the
heads of the reporters and there was
a merry tilt of words in which rather
uncomplimentary things were said.
When LOngman's restraint seemed
to be ebbing rapidly he charged the
press representatives with being
paper heads" In like manner one of
the writer's informed Mr. LOngman
that in the speakers opinion he was
"bonehead" The vituperative con,
versation was held in the city court
room and in the presence of the prose
cutting attorney and city judge When
Longman placed his hand on his club
which had been held under his arm
and threatened the reflectors of public
opinion with immediate and complete
annihiliatiOn both Prosecutor JessuI
and Judge Converse advised him tc
show little more discretion.
The patrolman appeared greatly pro
vOked because one evening paper stat
ed that an aunt of one of the lads de
| clared the officer did not act in a gen
| tlemanly manner. Longman denied
the assertion that he took the boy
| from his home without telling his aunt
of such an intention. Longman sale
he told the woman he wished to take
the boy down the street "a little bit

hearing distance Of the conversation
this morning, he paid no attention anC
did not remark upon it in any way
One of the reporters told Longmar
within the hearing of Bailey, that it il
well known that he arrested the boy'
upon orders. but he was not given ord
ers to bring them up in the patro
wagon and showed poor judgment il
doing so. LOngman replied that h
was not given orders not to ride then
up and could do as he saw fit. Thu
reporters told him they understood
such to be the case but questioned
his view of the fitness of his action.

sire All to Participate in
July 4th Event.
is A WORTHY VENTURE.
INTEREST IN EVENT is NOT MIS-
PLACED AND 1T is PROBABLE
ALL RICHMOND WILL TAKE
PART IN EVENT.

The knights of the Golden Eagle
held a meeting last evening and TOOK
further steps in arranging for the mon
ster Fourth of July celebration which
will be held in this city under the aus
pieces of that lodge The latest plan
is to hold an industrial parade on the
morning of the Fourth. This plan
will be preached to the business men
of the city and it is expected that they
will indOrse it. 1t has been several
years since the citizens of Richmond
have publicly observed the nation S
birthday, and the efforts of the
knights of the Golden Eagle, which is
distinctly a patriotic organization,
have met with general approval of the
citizens.
The plan for the proposed industrial
parade provides that every retail
wholesale and manufacturing concern
in the city be represented in the pa.
rade, either by the employees marching
or by floats and decorated trucks and
delivery wagons. 1t is also hoped that
the uniform rank organizations of the
various local lodges VIII also partici
pate in this parade.
Representatives of the knights oil
the Golden Eagle have asked Mayor
| Schillinger to sanction at least three
of the fire companies taking part in
the parade. The mayor stated that
he would authorize this, but that there
was great danger of fires on the
Fourth and that he would only permit
the firemen to parade as far east or
Main street as Twentieth street. Chic
Bailey will be asked to permit a police
company to march in the parade.
The big feature of the celebration
will be the exercises at Glen Miller
park. One of the principal attrac
lions there will be, II is hoped. the as
cension and flight of an air ship. Bal
| loon ascensions are OF common occur
renee. but there has been Dut few res
idents in this section of the city whC
have ever witnessed an airship in op
Grafton. Wonderful strides in thi
field of aerial navigation have beer
made, but nearly all the experiment.
with this class of aerial craft hav
been made in the larger cities of tn
country. especially in New York, Chi
cago and St. Louis.

TAFT WILL Be FIRST
His Name Will Be Presented
At the Chicago Nation
al Convention.
FACT BROUGHT TO LIGHT

Chicago, June 6.-War Secretary
Taft's name will be the first placed in
nomination al the Republican national
convention.
This was brought out when it be
came known that the Taft delegation
from Alabama had been chosen as
against the anti-Taft delegation by the
republican national committee.
Alabama heads the roll call Of states,
and. having no candidate Of her own,
will yield to the state having candi-
date which she favors-Ohio.
If the anti-Taft delegation had been
chosen today, Alabama would have re.
piled on the roll call, No candidate, -
but would not have yieldel TO Ohio.

ZATION ON A WORKING BASIS
-SPEECHES ARE MADE.

With the object in view of bringing
about an Improvement in social and
physical conditions of the north part
Of the city, a meeting OF patrons and
friends of the Whitewater school was
held at the school building last even
ing The attendance numbered about
2Oo and a proposition 10 organize a
North End Improvement association
was launched. The movement Sc
cured a strong impetus and a commit
tee was appointed to canvass the stu
alton
The meeting was called at the insti-
cation of the Mothers League OF the
White water school. The women
have been ardent workers for the i'm
provement of the North End and what
ever may be the result of the meeting
and the subsequent social organization
must be attributed TO the women.
Among those in attendance was John
Mccarthy, president of the CONNER
cial club. Mr.. Mccarthy assured the
promoters of the proposed association
that great good is to be accomplished
| from such an organization. Atten-
ton was called TO the benefits derived

A c. Ogborn. Thomas Yeager. Leroy
Lacey and others made a few re-
marks in which the success of the un-
dertaking was predicted. Miss Huldah

ers and the Mothers League.
The North End is believed to be a
field that will prove profitable for the
organization. Civic Improvement
ideas will be chief among those advo-
Gated. The residents of the section
will be asked to show greater pride in
the appearance of their part of the
