MCCARTHY PROPOSED AS
RiCHM0NO'S POSTMASTER
Movement at state Capital support
Democratic Mayor For Fed
eraI Appointment.

RICHMOND. VA. May 12.-Great
was the establishment of former May
or Carlton Mccarthy, when he was
summoned down town TO a certain
bank this morning and informed that
a number OF the city's leading bust
ness men had determined 10 start a
movement looking TO his appointment
as postmaster OF Richmond to succeed
Postmaster Royal +. Cabell.
Nothing could have surprised Cap
tain Mccarthy more than this news,
which took him totally unawares. a
lifelong Democrat. who has always
been uncompromising In his political
opinions and by no means backward
in expressing them. he at first could
not understand why his name should
have lren mentioned in such con
nection.
Deeply imbued With Scheme.
Bat the gentlemen who wish TO
see him in the office at the Federal
building. did not give him an oppor-
tunity 10 say yea or nay. They were
deeply lmbued with the scheme and
informed Captain Mccarthy that 1t
was their purpose to put 1t for all 1t
is worth. unless he positively declln-
ed to allow him to do this.
The meeting at which the present
plan was formed took place yester-
day morning. and last night the eX-
mayor got a telephone message re-
questing him TO meet number Of
substantial citizens today.
What they had TO tell HIM. though
flattering in the extreme, almost took
his breath away. when he did get
a chance to talk. about the first thing
he said was that nothing could induce
him to ask the aid of any man in
such movement.
But he did not say that he would
refuse the Office if 1t really could be
procured for him by the business men
of Richmond.
On the contrary, II Is belle 'ed that
he could be induced to accept 1t.
Substantial Citizens Interested.
The plan just set afoot is no wild
cat scheme born of a sudden i'm
pulse on the part of few restless
citizens to get themselves talked
about. Back of it are men who rep
resent millions of dollars-bankers,
real estate agents, manufacturers and
the like
So enthusiastic are these that some
have already assured the former
mayor that if he will permit them,
they will at once go to work in his
l.ehalf
Those who desire TO see Carlton
Mccarthy the next postmaster OF
Richmond are fully aware of the fact
that their ends could not, under any
circumstances, be attained without
considerable effort, but this they are
willing to put forth. Some stand ready
and willing at a Minutes notice TO
hurry off to Washington to talk to
the President about the matter.
Situation Peculiar.
The situation just now is peculiar.

Reviewing the history of the United

made to members of this Senate by
men of small means struggling along
with small factories imagining that
they are really independent concerns.
They are as helpless as a little
mouse that attempts to play or the

When we think we are helping them
we are simply strengthening the big
corporations that can absolutely crush

strong at the head of the tunnel that
it is almost impossible to place a

been tapped and that the water will
not only be very valuable for MINING g

Little Playmate Saw Her
Garter.

When six years of age Helen Mitch
ell (Melba) appeared at a school con
cert, organized by her aunts in Rich
mond, Melbourne. the suburb OF her
birth. At this entertainment she sang
Shells Of the Ocean" with such eff
feet that the audience asked for an
encore, and the child on her reappear-
ance, created a still greater impress
sion by her singing of Comm Through
the Rye for which her grandmother
had taught her the Scottish accent.
At the earliest opportunity she hur-
ried to her favorite playmate, who
lived in the same street, and breath
lessly waited for reference to the en-
tertainment of the evening before, but
the little comrade was adamant and
ignored the whole subject. After
many attempts to introduce it, Nellie
at length found herself unable to wait
longer, and exclaimed excitedly: But
the concert, the concert! l sang last
night, and was encored." And she
looked with eagerness in the face OF
her friend, who answered witheringly:
Yes, and, Helen Mitchell, / saw your
garter" Little Miss Mitchell had been
particularly pleased with her neat at
tire, and the unexpected shaft COM
ing in place of the looked-for COM
pliment, in an instant blotted out the
memory of the intoxicating encore, and
drew the little singer from the seventh
heaven of her brief delight to limbo
