lie opinion of the North and the best
public opinion of the South seems to
be coming together in respect to all
the economic and political questions

THE recent election has made it

migration to. Africa; but TO me such a
proposition is utterly fatuous.
The negro is essential to the South
in order that it may have proper la
Dor. Their ancestors were brought
here against their will. They have no
country but this. They know no flag
but ours. They wish 10 live under it
and are willing to die for it, They are
Americans. The proposition to in

him. As the industries of the South
continue to grow in the marvellous
rate already shown the demand for
labor must increase.

Washington. April 1.-the report

The talk is that the president in his
special message will demand that the

that there shall be an injunction law

Refutes Charges That 1t Was
Inconsistent in North E

And Gives Its Stand.
OTHER STREET BUILDING

Many People on North F Street

signed reasons for their action in post
TOning consideration of the North F

President George Staubach. of the

the Wayne Works and the Ollie, Nc
Guire company, were the only peti-
TONERS for this improvement. He said
that in the event the board adopted a
resolution calling for the proposed
Improvement of this street. there was
almost certain to be a remOnstrance
filed against it,
Mr. Staubach said that the petition
asked that North F street be paved
from Sixth to Sixteenth street He
said that there would be no difficulty
in securing assessments for the inn
prCvement from Sixth street to
Twelfth street. as most of the abutting
property wcE owned by corporations or
parties who could well afford to meet
the assessment. However. he said
from Twelfth street to Sixteenth street
nearly all the abutting property was
owned by people who absolutely could

if an effort was made to improve this
part of North F street it would force
many of the properly owners to vacate
their little homes and turn them over
10 the city TO meet their assessments.
The Wayne Works has also petition

indianapolis Judge. However,
Has Passed an Opinion on
The Merits of the Local
Traction SquabbIe. -,
SPEAKS BOTH FOR AND
aA.. AGAINST THE CITY.
Says That Traction Has Not
Right to Operate Cars, But
Says That City Ordinances
Are Invalid.

Yesterday Judge Anderson Of the
Indianapolis federal court. gave his
views on the local traction question,
which he is now considering on a bill
filed by the Terre Haute. Indianapo-
lis and Eastern Traction company, to
secure a permanent injunction against
the city of Richmond, from enforcing
the ordinances prohibiting the COM
pany operating freight cars on Main
street east of Fifth street. and passen.
ger traction cars east OF Eighth street.
Judge Anderson states that he has
not yet made his final ruling on the {
case. In his statement the judge in
dicates that the company under the
franchises it holds from the city. has
no right TO operate passenger and
orable ruling to the city is offset by
the statement made by the court that
in his opinion the ordinances passed
by the city compelling the company
TO cease operating its freight and pas
senger cars on certain parts of Main
street are invalid for the reason that
the penalties imposed are excessive.
The court cites the fact that the Min
nesota supreme court and the North
Carolina supre me court recently ruled
that in similar cases. ordinances could
not be enforced, because the ordinan-
ces in question We're invalid because
they imposed too excessive fines
However. the court does not think
that the bill filed by the traction COM
pany is sufficiently definite to show
the unreasOnableness of the ordin-
ance. If, the court suggests. the bill
was so amended to show that the
company violated the ordinance and
the number of cars operated in viola
| ton of the ordinance would run the
fines up each day TO a large sum. he
would probably hold the penalties to
be excessive and. for that reason. the
ordinances 10 be invalid Acting on
the suggestions made by Judge An1er-
son. Attorney Winters of the traction
company applied for and was granted
the privilege of amending the bill OF
complaint. This probably means that
IL will be several weeks longer before
Judge Anderson hands down a final
ruling on the matter

COMMISSION WILL
BE APPOINTED.
Very Probable That This Will
Be All the Currency Action
Taken at This Session of
Congress.

Washington, April 1.-THE sum to-
tai of financial Legislation at this ses-
sion of Congress will be the appoint
ment of a commission to study the
financial needs of the country and re-
port a remedy.
This prediction is on authority of
the leaders of Congress, who have
reached the conclusion that any other
legislation would be unwise if not
impossible.
The details as to the personnel of
the commission remain to be worked
out. The tentative arrangement is
for a commission Of fifteen members.
President Roosevelt would like to ap-
point the commission, but Congress
seems disposed to select the members
of the commission from the House and
Senate. II seems probable now that
the commission. as finally made UP,
will be composed Of members of the
House Committee on Banking and
Currency and the Senate F'inance
Committee
The movement to appoint a com
mission is the outgrowth of develop
= ,
which have made it certain that the
support of the Aldrich bill has col
lapsed in the face of an unmistakable
revulsion of public sentiment against
that measure. To be plain about it,
the bosses Of legislation have discov-
cred by count of noses that they can
not drive the Aldrich bill through the
House. The pressure against it is 0v-
erwhelming and congressman who are
trying to get reelected this year sim
ply will not stand up and be counted
for it, From Indiana for instance,
there is coming an avalanche of pro-
tests against the Aldrich bill and the
same sentiment is manifested through
out the Central and Western States
and the South.

FOREIGNERS REMEMBER
FRIENDS ACROSS SEA
Much Money Sent by Colony
In Richmond.

Foreigners working along local
railroads and in Richmond at the pres.
ent time are very thoughtful Of their
families who remained behind in Eur
ope. At least the money order records
at the local postoffice show it, for an
unusually large amount Of money is
sent from Richmond to foreign climes.
Many of the foreigners employed by
local railroads. it is asserted. joined
the great army which left American
shores during the past winter.

Thinks That the Means of
Fighting Fire Are Not Suffi-
Cient and Advocates Sever
al Additions.
FIRE ENGINE ONE OF
THINGS NEEDED MOST.
Present Engine Is Not Big
Enough-Hose House in
West Richmond Would Be a
Great Benefit to City.

Chief Miller of the fire department,
stated today that for the better fire
protection of the city he would recon-
mend an increase in the departme nj
by the addition of a modern. high
power steamer and an additional hose
company.
Chief Miller said that for Il fire the
size of the Colonial blaze the normal
water pressure was insufficient
There is only one water main lead
ing from the water works pumping
station into the city. If high pres
sure is put on at the pumping station
there is grave danger Of the mains
bursting in which event the city
would be at the mercy of the flames,
said the chief.
The old engine the department
now has. is not fit for use. In case
of another big fire this engine might
be used for furnishing high pressure
for one stream, but that is all. What
is needed is an engine that will fur
nsh high pressure for at least three
streams" continued the chief.
lie said that every city the size OF
Richmond needed a fire engine as nc
matter how perfect the water works
system was it could not be depended
upon to furnish high pressure in the
event of a big blaze. Another crying
need of the fire department, Chief
Miller thinks. is additional ladders
There are only two sixty. feet cXten-
sion ladders now available. These
un,IlI uch hn nf hn
colt hotel in case of fire at that
building" he says
The fire chief favors the plan OF
placing automatic air ladders, attach
ed to the hook and ladder truck as
soon as Main street is cleared of its
wires. These ladders are seventN-five
feet high. BY the release of springs
the first section of these ladders
shoot up from the truck at an angle
of fOrty-fivc degrees. After the first
section is in place the second section
is hoisted by cranks. 1t is possible
to have these ladders ready for use in
less than a half-minute, but they are
not servicable on a street incumbered
by wires
Chief Miller states that the Colonial
fire shows the necessity of an addi-
tlOnal hose company, pointing out that
it was necessary for the city to ap-
peal to Dayton and Cambridge City
for assistance. He thinks this com
pany should be located in West Rich
mOnd. He also states that it would
not be necessary to maintain a team
of horses and a crew for the engine
if one is secured. This engine could
be used as a reserve. Miller has been
given a fire helmet by local company
and he will give it a thorough trial
Tonight there will be a meeting Of the
West Side Improvement Association
and an effort will be made by this
association to secure hose company
for the west side.
