Broad Street.

The suggestion that Broad Street be paved with
asphalt blocks is worthy of the serious consdera-
ton Of the Street Committee and the Council
Broad street is great thoroughfare and is used
BY greater number of persons than any otner
street in the city Neither cobble stones nor granite
blocks desirable paving material Tor shopping
street That class OF material makes noise and col
Iects dirt In addition the granite erodes and makes
a dust that is most injurious to merchandise TO
say nothing OF the discomfort OF the people ana the
injury to eyes, nose and throat.
Richmond is a progressive city and it has IN
Broad street one OF the finest boulevards IN the
country 1t should be the best paved street IN the
city and should be kept in prime condition 1t
should be paved in such way to reduce the dust
nuisance and the noise nuisance TO lowest terms
The merchants pay heavy tax and they have the
right to every convenience and advantage that a
clean and attractive street will give. And what
paws the merchants. pays the city.
Let Broad street be paved with asphalt iron

Argument MAY Be stronger.

Editor OF The virginian:
Sir.-The comparison of the nuic-
Der of arrests for drunkenness or dis
orderly conduct render the license
system. with the number OF the same
under prohibitory law. has shown
plainly that all the prophecies of In
creased immortality as result of pro-
hibition were not accomplished But
the persons who had brought out
those facts SO luckily and In a way
which makes an unanswerable argu-
ment have been rather too lenient to
their opponents by seemingly admit
ting that arrests under prohibition
were chargeable TO that law. and
hence to be placed on the credit side
of license, whereas truth would in
dictate that these are chargeable to
license gwen in an adjacent locality.
1t Is equally true that the problem of
probabilities would compel the sup
position that more arrests would be
made (for the same number of
di unks) under the dry than under
the wet" IT is easily supposed that
a very large proportion under the lat
ter are not arrested II we study
this fact closely We must clearly see
Erv great an addition should be
made to the argument for the legis-
lation now under discussion. II the
argument Is strong land II is very
strong), with the facts as presented,
a fortiori, how overwhelming 1t would
be II 1t could be known how many
unarrested DRINKS had afflicted the
homes of our good old Common
wealth. ow-citizens of the Legis-
lature, hear the cry that Is brought
from the oppressed counties.
Sussex county is legally free from
the saloon. The happiness and pros
perity that have come from that fact
may not be subjected to the science
OF measurement, but the distress that
las followed in the wake of ship
rents from Petersburg and Rich
n.ond by violators of law may equally
defy calculation. Let our lawmakers
consider the demands of men, wo-
men and children SO urgently made

Pass a Banking Bill.

The Nirginian is not welded to any particular
banking bill. 1t thinks that the Stebbins-W ingo-
Noting bin better measure in some respects than
the Williams bill, as have already pointed out.
But either would inaugurate the inspection system,
and that is the main point. Once inaugurated, it
will be easy for the next Legislature to improve and
perfect the plan The danger is that if the friends
of bank inspection in the General Assembly, get to
scrapping among themselves bill will get through
We earnestly hope that this will not be. Bank
inspection is public necessity. 1t is duty which
the State to those who deposit their funds in
banks chartered by the State. Let the patrons OF
the several measures adjust their differences and
agree upon some bill that will put the system in
motion.

SHERMAN'S NAME in
BRIBERY SCANDAL
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire
MUSGOGEE, Okla, Aug. A.
The name of Vice President James
s. Sherman was dragged into the
house committee investigation of
alleged offers of brides in connec-
ton with legislation affecting In
dian land contracts by Senator
Gore this afternoon.
= Gore also named Jacob Hamon,
Oklahoma national committee
man, as one man who called up
on him in connection with the
matter.
Senator Gore testified before
the committee in support of his
charges that attempts had been
made to bride him to influence
his vote in regard to killing GER
tain legislation in the senate.
Hamon declared, according to
Gore, that besides Congressman
Mcclure of Oklahoma and former
Senator Curtis of Kansas, an Of
fetal higher up" was interest
ed in the contracts. When press
ed to name the official, Hamon
said it was Vice President Sher-
man, according to Cores testi-
mony.
Senator Gore then produced
newspaper clippings purporting
to show that Vice President Sher-
man and ex-senator Curtis had
visited President Taft and rec
commended that the president
should approve the contracts.

keen sense of hearing possessed
by Sheriff Stevens may result in
the apprehension of those respon-
sible for the wrecking of a Santa
Fe train at LaJunta, Col, eight
years ago, in which a score of per-
sons were injured.
The sheriff, while searching for
a fugitive in the northern part of
the city, overheard G. NJ. Ger
brucht, a sailor, boastingly say
that he knew the gang; they put
the train in the ditch"
He was taken into custody, and
after he had become sober reluct-
antly intimated that he was ia
miliar with the gang of train
wreckers and all of the incidents
in connection with the ditching of
the Santa Fe train.

3 MURDERED
AND BODIES
BURNED
CHARRED BONES POINT TO
BRUTAL MURDER OF FAM
HY-SEARCH FOR JAP
ANESE.

(By United Press Leased Wire.
CAZADERO, Cal, Aug. a.
The disappearance of T. A. Ken
dali and his mother and father
from their ranch near here, fol-
lowed by the finding of the
charred portions of human bones,
resulted today in orders for a
general roundup of Japanese in
Somona county. Suspicion was
directed toward the Japanese
last night, when it became known
that Henry Yamagata, ranch
hand, had been seen at the Ken
dali home following the disap-
pearance of the Kendalls, and
that later he had vanished.
While Assistant District At
torney G. w. Hoyle and Sheriff
John Smith believe that a triple
murder has been committed, they
are bending their efforts today in
attempting to find Kendall and
his parents, Enoch and IRA.
In addition to portions of
charred bone, which DIR. J. w.
Jesse declares once belonged to a
human body, the Sonoma Off
Gals found burned and fragment
AIRY pieces of clothing, bits of
Jewelry and human teeth in a
~mound of ashes near the Ken
dali home. A woman's spectacles
and hair comb we're found in the
CRATE of the kitchen stove.
Japanese Seen at House.
The Kendalls were last seen
alive July 23 by neighbors. Since
then none but the japanese was
seen near the place until Tues
day last, when second Japanese
was found by Mr.. and Mrs. John
son and a boy who are sumnering
at CaZadero. The Johnsops had
visited the Kendall farmhouse out
Of curiosity.
Human Ribs in Ashes.
The sheriff and his deputies
searched the place thoroughly,
but not until they came upon the
pile of ashes and debris in the
yard did they get the first init
nation that murder had been
done. The heap of ashes dis
closed clothing, portions of human
ribs, skulls and some ribbons. A
wedding ring with "T. A. K" en-
graved on it was found in the
heap. The bones were gathered
up in paper and taken to Santa
Rosa for further examination.
