A BIG LOBBY ON HANDS
SURPRISED WHEN REFERRED TO
AS "cHURcH BELL RINGERS" BY

Members OF the Citizens Lookout
Committee" and other citizens inter
ested in civic beauty, assembled this
morning in the circuit court room
for the purpose Of hearing arguments
in the case to enjoin the traction COM
pany from placing line through
Glen Miller park. However, the dis
tinguished lobby was disappointed be-
cause Judge Fox announced that it was
not his understanding that this was
the date set for hearing the arguments.
He said that his impression was that
today had been set aside for the de-
fendant to return an answer to the
suit.
traction company, stated that the COM
pany had not until today entered an
appearance in the case and was not
yet ready for making an argument.
Wilfred Jessup, one of the attorneys
for the petitioners, informed the court
case was to be argued today. Judge
Fox insisted that he had not set aside
a date for the hearing of arguments as
he could not do so until the defendant
had entered an appearance in the case.
After Mr.. Robbins had entered the
appearance of the traction company,
Judge Fox announced that the argu-
ments would be heard this afternoon
at 1 80 o'clock. Accordingly the Cit
liens Lookout Committee and civic
beauty advocates again assembled in
the court room this afternoon, but they
were again disappointed because Mr.
Robbins and Ferdinand Winters, gen
eral counsel for the traction company,
petitioned the court for a delay in
hearing the case.
Mr.. Robbins was asked if the trac-
tion company would ask for a change
of venue. He stated that it had not
yet been decided what course would be
pursued in this case. Judging from a
remark made by Mr.. Robbins that he
did not believe he wanted the lease
heard by bunch of church bell ring
ers"-this being a reference to the lob
by-it is regarded as more than proba-
BILE he will ask for change of venue
City Attorney T. ]. Study appeared
in court this morning and asked if the
city wa named as a defendant in the
injunction proceedings. When in
formed that the traction company was
the only defendant, Mr.. Study stated
that he made the inquiry, because il
the city had been made party, he in
tended to ask for change of venue.
1t was decided this afternoon that
the argument would be heard Monday

IToRs DURING FALL FESTIVAL
WOULD MEAN BIG ADVERTISE.
MENT FOR HOME INTERESTS.

The Cincinnati Business Mems club
has been made the recipient of an in
vitation from the Richmond Young
Mems business club to visit this city
in connection with the Fall Festival
1t is expected the Cincinnati club will
be glad to accept the proposal and
come to this city as the guest of the
local organization.
The organization of Queen City bust
ness men takes a trip each year in
the nature of an outing. 1t is custo
mary to go any inconsiderable dis
tance. If it be thought the trip would
prove of benefit. Many cities in Ohio
Kentucky and Southern Indiana have
been visited. When a representative
of the local organization was at Gin
cinnati recently he was told of this
custom and upon returning to this
city informed the officials OF tht
Young Mems Business club. 1t wal
determined to forward an invitation
and an acceptance is anticipated. The
Cincinnatians travel 200 strong ano
are accompanied by a brass band
when on their jaunts. Their visi
would be a great advertisement fo
local industries.

NEGRO WAS TOLD
Officer Roberts Took No Kid
ding From BurIy Son
Of Ham.
He WILL BE RE-ARRESTED.

]. H. Harvey, a typical specimen of
the bad" negro who provokes race
riots, was given fine of $5 and costs
this morning in the city court on the
charge of drunk. On his release he
will be again arrested on the charge
of resisting an officer. Yesterday
Sergeant McManus took Harvey into
custody. The negro was very impu-
dent and wanted to fight McManus.
When he was taken to the county
Jail this morning manacled to patrol
man Roberts, Harvey informed his
custodian that If he had not been so
drunk yesterday McManus would new.
er have been able to arrest him. It's
good thing for you that you were
drunk. Had you been sober and start.
ed anything you probably would have
been brought to police headquarters in
a pine box" Roberts informed him.
You'd better not start anything
with US niggers. or we'll raise hell"
said Harvey. Roberts informed him
that the police would "be right there
when the row started" He also in.
timated that the police would probably
be the only ones there" when the row
was over.
Tuesday was pay day for the negroes
employed by the traction company
but only one other besides Harvey got
into trouble. He was arrested for in.
toxication.

Members of Soliciting Com
mittees Meet Generous Re-
sponses to Appeal for PIedg-
es of Help to Finance Event.
BUSINESS MEN NOT ALONE
IN OFFERS OF ASSISTANCE
Definite Dates Fixed Following
Conference With Officers of
Tenth Regiment Which Will
Be Main Attraction.

The members of the soliciting COM
mittees to raise an expense fund for
the fall festival were out yesterday,
and 1t was anRoupced today that they
had met much success. Nimrod John
son, chairman of the finance commit
tee, has not called upon the chairmen
Of the various soliciting committees to
submit their reports, so he is not in a
position to state the total amount
raised yesterday. The committee to
solicit the manufacturers and the COM
mittee to solicit the jobbers and
North E street and FIT. Wayne avenue
retailers, are out today making can
vass. These two committees are ex-
pected to secure liberal donations and
Mr. Johnson confidently expects that
when all of the soliciting has been
completed the sum necessary to
finance the festival will have been
raised.
Only few cases of where business
men have refused to assist the move
ment have been reported. These
men, in every case, are ones who have
| always refused to assist financially
any public enterprise, and their lack
of support was anticipated
Business Men Not Alone.
One thing most gratifying to the
| finance committee is the number of
| contributions received from men who
| are not engaged in business for them
selves. Several hundred dollars will
| be received from this class of citizens
more than making up for the amount
the disinterested business men have
refused to donate. Mr.. johnson
states that he probably will call upon
the chairmen of the soliciting commit.
tees to hand in their contributions
next Tuesday.
Dates Decided Upon.
1t has been definitely settled that the
fall festival will be held on October 6
I and s. P. J. Freeman and Pau

formed by Col. Green that the Tentt
Infantry will arrive in this city late IL
the afternoon of October and will b,
in camp in this city all of the follow

stated that it is quite probable two

be held in this city. The first guart
mount will probably be held on tn,
morning of October 8. On the after
noon of that day dress parade will
be given. The second guard noun
will be given on the morning of Octo

Gillian Writes His Appreciation
of the Chautauqua Reception

have such lot of fine things stored
up about the old town. I know
something that Richmond doesn't
know, and that is, why that town likes
me; Its because it has been to terrific
ally good to me. That's the way to
like people-just be beautifully kind
to them, and you'll like them. Rich
mond's kindness to me is far more of
compliment to Richmond than to
me, in that IL speaks of a primary
fineness in the town itself, that made
it begin being good to me. But all
these feelings had to let stand aside,
or rather | let all be merged in the
task of delivering the goods to. the
utmost of my little ability.
Things were piled on me so / could
hardly see through them. The band
and the bunch of citizens that receiv-
ed me, the fine lot of representative
men on the platform, the quartet's well
coming and farewell songs. the intro
duction by Trueblood and the greeting
by the crowd-the crowd itself-every-
thing soaked in for keeps. and shall
not forget it in a good long while.
/ am sorry, for my own sake. that I
didn't get to speak to everybody I
knew. That was the deprivation to
me. But hope I'll get to see 'em all
again, some time, and at any rate |
got to speak to them in at least one
way.
Thanking you individually for all
you had to do with this splendid cour-
tesy, asking you TO extend my thanks
to the rest of those implicated in the
plot, and with love to your family, I
am, yours unchangedly,

Budget of Expenses for Num-

WEST SIDE IMPROVE
MENTS ARE COSTLY.

Paid, City Spent Money, and
Now Must Reimburse Fund
From Some Other Income.

The budget of estimated appropria-
tions necessary to operate the city
government next year will probably
be presented to council at its last
meeting this month. City Controller
Webster Parry will shortly call upon
the heads of the various departments
of the city government to submit their
recommendations for appropriations.
Mr.. Parry will then compile his bud

One extraordinary appropriation
that council will assuredly be called
upon to consider is the west side sew
er appropriation. The Northwest Sec

sections. The first section has been
completed and the city has practically
paid its share of this expense, about
$4,000. The second section has not
yet been completed. The city's share
Of expense on this Improvement will
amount also to about $4,000.
The southwest sewer system, now
in the course of construction. will
cost the city about $4,000. Next week
it will be necessary for the city to
pay out $4,000 of this amount and
money must be borrowed to meet the
expense.
Council will also be called upon to
make an appropriation to meet the ex-

Mr.. Parry states that so far as he
knows council will not be called upon
to make extraordinary appropriations
The amounts required to operate the
various departments of government
next year will be about the same as
required this year.

Toledo, O., Sept. 3.-Declaring that
there never had been any feud be-

yesterday openly announced his earn

speech so filled with terms of lauda-

surprise.

currences, greater cause of astonish.
ment was to follow.
In terms not so euuivocal to be mis-
understood Senator Foraker openly
declared that he was a candidate for
reelection, and was followed by his
colleague, Senator Charles Dick, who
with great solemnity, asserted that il
would be loss to the senate of the
United States and to Ohio not to re
elect Senator Foraker. In succinct

HOSPITAL NEEDS
FIRE PROTECTION
That Now Furnished Is Re-
garded as Inadequate.

This morning Fire Chief Ed. Miller
and the directors of the Reid Memoir
ial hospital visited that institution for
the purpose of making plans for the
better fire protection of the hospital.
Chief Miller has recommended that a.
six inch main be extended to the hos
pital. replacing the four-inch main now
in use. This main, he states, could not
furnish pressure enough to throw a
stream to the second story. He also
recommends that the fire plugs be To-
Gated closer to the buildings.
