AGAINST PROHIBITION
Hotel Keepers in Convention
Pass Resolutions on
The Subject.
LEGISLATION DETRIMENTAL

Saratoga, n. Y, July 15.-Hotel pro-
prietors from all parts of the United
States and Canada, comprising the
members of the Hotel Mems Mutual
Benefit association are holding their
twenty-ninth annual convention here.
In his report President James H.
Joyce of Baltimore urged that hotel
men in the country unite.
"A great deal of legislation detri-
mental to the hotel interests has been
passed in the various states during
the past year. he said, owing to the
indifference or lack of organization
among hotel men. We have interests
that should be respected and protect
ed and this could only be done thor
oughly by a national body"
The following resolution was adopt
ed unanimously:
This association desires to express
it's stanch conviction that prohibition
embodying as it does legislative re.
striction of personal liberty, is an is
sue that hotel men of America cannot
ignore
Officers for the next year were elect
ed as follows: President, Edward NJ
Tierney, New York; vice president
P. F. Frey, Richmond, Va; secretary
treasurer, ]. X. Blatchford, Chicago
The next place of meeting was left tc
the board of directors.

HER DAILY LIFE
WAS NOBLE ONE
Mrs. M. c. Benham's Chief
Work That of Christian
House Mother.
HER DEATH WAS A SHOCK.
HOME IN GLEN VIEW AFTER
HAVING SPENT GREATER PART
OF THE DAY OUT OF DOORS.

The death of Mrs. Benham, wife of
DIR. NJ. G. Benham, of Glen View, yes
terday evening, came as a great shock
to her many friends. While in falling
health for some months, she was par
ticularly bright and CHEEKY through
the day, spending the greater portion
of it out of doors. At five o'clock she
was suddenly stricken with severe
attack of heart failure, and two hours
after, the end came peacefully and qui-
city.
Mrs. Benham was the daughter of
James Harvey Randolph, native Of
Green County, Ohio, an early pioneer
of Carroll County. Indiana, and a lineal
descendant of John Randolph Of Roam
oke. Mr.. and Mrs. Bennam were mar
ried at Delphi, Indiana, December 81,
1854, and came to Richmond twenty
seven years ago. In 1891 they built
Glen View which has been the family
home ever since. The Oldest son, Har-
vey, died at the age Of nine years, and
the three other children survive the
LuOlucI IA SAl-
cago; Mrs. B. G. Arlington, Richmond
and Dr. J. F. Benham, Hardesty, Okla
homa Mrs. Benham was a woman of
sterling character and decided convic-
tions, with the highest ideals of honor
and keen sense of the things that are
right and true and beautiful. Her
theories of life were keyed to the fin
est expression OF christian character
and her everyday life was a practical
expression of her best thought.
Mrs. Benham's work in life was that
noble christian service Of the Ameri
can house mother, and in that her de-
votion and conservation were emf
nent.
The funeral services will be held On
Friday afternoon at four o'clock al
the Glen View home. Interment al
Earlham cemetery. Friends desiring
| to call before the services will be vel
come on Thursday evening from -four
to nine o'clock.

IMPROVEMENTS
NOW UNDER WAY
West Second Street Viaduct
And Sewer Systems Are
Being Built.
RAILROAD COMPANY ACTIVE
HAS ALREADY DONE ITS PART IN
COMPLETING PRELIMiNARIE
OF VIADUCT CONSTRUCTIONS
WORkMEN SCARCE.

The work of erecting 4 viaduct over
Northwest Second street, and of max
ing the big sewer system and numer-
Gus other civic improvements is now
well under Roadway. There is no doubt
but that all these improvements will
be completed by the specified time,
January /. 1909.
Hipskind & Son, the Wabash con-
tractors, have completed the first sec
ton of the sewer which extends from
the Sheridan street viaduct to the west
side of North First street and today
the primary assessment roll for this
work was presented to the board of
public works.
Contractor Hall. of Delphi, Ind. is
now engaged in the work of construct
ing the second section of this sewer
system, which extends from Northwest
First street to Northwest Second street
thence under thcrailroad to State
street. This section of the sewer is
by far the most difficult to construct
owing to the large amount of blasting
required. 1t will be impossible to COM
plete this work until Trippeer & Sons
of Peru, who have the contract Of OPP
ening Northwest Second street under
the railroad have completed their
work
The railroad company has driven
piling to support it's tracks SO that the
excavation under them can be made
Next week the Peru contracting firm
will begin it's work. AS soon as all
the dirt has been hauled away the rail-
road company will begin work of
erecting its permanent viaduct. The
first work of the railroad company
will be to erect concrete piers.
Hipskind & Son are now buGily en-
gagged in the construction of the big
$50, 200 sewer system in West Rich
mond, south of Main street The fl
| tering beds for the sewer, constructed
to secure a purified outflow into the
river, have about been completed. The
pipes used in this system are of con-
crete and are made on the ground
The contractor in charge Of tho work
states that he needs thirty men, but
has found it almost impossible to Sc
cure them. No underground work is
required and the men receive good
wages, but this does not appear to ap.
peal to the idle workmen of this city.
