DELAY MAY Be ENDED
Case of the State Against Al
va Hunt Docketed for
Next Monday.
IS CHARGED WITH LARCENY.

At last the case of the State VS.. AL
va Hunt may be brought to trial. 1t
has been set for trial one week from
today, but take a tip-another post
ponement is probable. Upon the re-
quest of Prosecutor Jessup this morn
ing. Judge Fox informed w. A Bond,
counsel for Hunt, that if any more con-
tinuances are necessary, Hunt will
have to come forward with an affidavit
as to cause. Bond stated Hunt is
ready for trial at any time and it has
not been he who has caused the delay.
Alva Hunt is charged with larceny.
The case has been set for trial repeat
edly. Just as often continuances have
been granted for whatever reason was
presented and consequently the case
has never been brought to trial, al
though it has been on the docket for
about one year.

ARE NOT ENTERED
E. G. Hill Roses Not Eligible to
The Great International
Show in Paris.
DO NOT MEET CONDITIONS,

Word received from E. G.. Hill, who
was called to Paris some weeks ago
to be judge at the International rose
show, indicates that the specimen
blooms submitted by the local florist
will not be eligible this year, owing to
the fact that they were only sent
abroad in March and it is understood
that the plants must be in France one
year before blooms can be entered in
the competition. This is probably
done to allow the rose bushes to be-
come acclimated and therefore grow
their choicest blooms.
Mr.. Hill will remain in Paris for two
or three weeks and is not expected to
return TO Richmond before August 1.
The rose show is scheduled to take
place in short time.
Mr.. Hill has written home concern
ing a delightful day which he spent
recently with Mr.. Guy Study, a former
Richmond boy. Mr.. Study is studying
architecture in Paris. He recently
won first prize on an elaborate design
which was on exhibit at that placA

ing about four hundred of the residents
of this city, emptied glasses to refill at
once from the unfailing supply close at
hand. And it was free, free.
For the Big Four had a wreck just
east of town Saturday morning and
when a dozen box cars had finished
piling up on the engine, about two
acres were planted with big, big bar
rels. Some contained rye and others
were filled with bourbon. Still others
had gallons and gallons of all kinds of
brandy. A careless Providence had
forgotten the wishes of the dry" ele-
ment that closed Winchester

uor flowed ike water all day saturday
and Sunday. The word soon went

But in spite of the humor that is con-

shut out liquor forever, there is side
to the affair that is calling forth much
protest. Many children, boys of twelve
and thirteen, were given liquor and the
effects of the poison upon their stom-
achs is likely to be fatal, according to
some physicians. Any number of chill
dren were made intoxicated and the
town is indignant because these inno-

the alleged depravity of the older men.

WEST S|DERS
DELAY PROPOSED
NEW HOSE HOUSE
Division Among Themselves
AS to Where the New Build
ing Should Be Located Says
Staubach.
CHANCES FAVORABLE
FOR THE PROTECTION.
Intimated That If Citizens Can
Be United on Proposition,
They Will Secure a Needed
Improvement.

President George Staubach Of the
board of public works, this morning
stated that the city would take no
steps to locate a hose house west of
the river until the residents of West
Richmond and Of Fairview decide
where they want the hose house built.
Although he did not make statement
to the effect, Mr.. Staubach intimated
that the board would heed the petition
for hose house.
Mr.. Staubach states that there is
some opposition to the erection of a
hose house in West Richmond or Fair
view. This opposition comes from
people living west of the river who
would rather have the city spend the
money it would cost to build a hose
house in making a public park of the
west river bank.
Division of Opinion.
He also states that those who favor
Z,
where it should be located. Fairview
people think that the hose house
should be located on Northwest Sec
ond street. arguing that when the
viaduct is built fire company located
on that street would have easy access
to Fairview and at the same time be
so located, as to afford that section of
the west side south of the railroad ex-
cellent fire protection. Many West
Richmond residents, Mr.. Staubach
states, favor locating the proposed
hose company on West Fifth street. 1t
is probable that some time in the near
future the board will hold a meeting
with Representatives of the West Side
Improvement association and the
Fairview Civic league for the purpose
of reaching some understanding as to
the most desirable site for hose
house.
Can the city afford to build hose
house in West Richmond or Fairview
at the present time?" Mr.. Staubach
was asked.
He replied that the city really could
not afford to meet this expense and
that if the hose house was built some
plan would have to be devised to meet
the expense.
THE people state that they want
a new hose house but If the tax rate
was raised they would all let out a
howl" he stated.
When asked if the plan of making a
special tax levy to raise the required
amount had been considered. he re-
piled that it had.
One Improvement Made.
The board has as yet taken no ac-
tion on the recommendation of chief
Miller to improve the efficiency of the
fire department. Mr.. Miller wanted an
additional fire main, modern fire en-
gine, an aerial truck and other minor
improvements. The wagon of the
No. 1 fire company is now being trans
formed from a hose cart to a combi-
nation hose and chemical wagon. This
is the only improvemen Mt that has been
made in the fire department since the
Colonial fire.

Maryland superstitions.

There are superstitions throughout
all the counties of Maryland concern
ing crossroads and running water.
Witches are supposed to make their
home at the crossing OF two roads and
to appear there at midnight One pc
cuiiar thing about witches Is that they
cannot get across running water, and
a stream Of any sort always acts as
a protection to the nightly prowler,
who will follow along the bank Of a
stream In preference to the road.
These are some of the things which
are % generally believed in the
country around Washington and along
the Eastern Shore. Some Of the arti-
cles of the creed of the superstitious In
that ne~ighborhood are:
If you sweep your room at night you
sweep away your wealth.
Never shake crumbs out of a window
after dark. They are supposed to fall
into the eyes of the Lord and to dis
turb the spirits of the dead who wan
der abroad at night
Don't wash your hands In water in
which eggs have been boiled You are
liable to become covered with warts

EDISON THE VICTOR.
He Humbled the Pride of the Fast
Telegraph Operator.

Edison made his first record as q
telegraph operator In Memphis. A con-
temporary says he came walking into
the Office q morning looking like a
verltable hayseed. He wanted a job,
and, although his appearance was not
prepossessing, the Office was short
handed, and he was assigned a desk at
the st. Louis wire, the hardest In the
office. "At the end of the line was an

Life of Edison"
Edison had hardly got seated before
st. Louis called. The newcome re-
sponded, and st. Louis started on a
long report which he pumped In like
a house afre. Edison threw his leg
over the arm of his chair. leisurely
transferred a wad of spruce gum from
his pocket to his mouth. took up a
pen, examined it critically and started
In about fifty words behind. He didn't
stay there long, though. 81. Louis let
out another link of speed, and still an
other, and the instrument on Edison's
table hummed like an old style Singer
sewing machine. Every man In the
office left his desk and gathered around
the jay to see what he was doing with
that electric cyclone.

and taking 1t down in the prettiest COP

crossing his 't's' and dotting his rs
and punctuating with as much care as
a man editing telegraph for printers.
st. Louis got tired by and by and be-
gan to slow down. Then Edison open
ed the key and said:
"'Hello, there! When are you going
to get a hustle on? This Is no primer

"Well. SIR" said the gentleman in
conclusion, that broke st. Louis all
up. He had been rawhiding Memphis

With provisions for only ten. days a
party of explorers in Alaska found one
September that they must build RATS
