HE SPEAKS FROM PULPIT

Declaring that there were many
who were prominent in society and in
business who never protested against
things which were held in general
disrepute, the Rev. T. J. Graham, pas
tor of the First Presbyterian church,
took a rap at this class of citizens in
his sermon on Sunday morning
In his sermon he did not mention
any of the evils which he believes
many church people sanction because
they refuse to protest against them.
He made his criticism in summing up
his sermon on the subject Can Two
Walk Together. Except They Be
Agreed" In expressing his displeas-
ure with this class of people, the
Rev Graham said that he referred to
all evils or events which were gener.
ally held to be disrepufable-

ZIMMERMAN MAY ATTEND

TON IN SHOWING FILMS OF
JoHNsoNJEFFRIEs DISPUTE IN
THE CITY.

Protesting against the exhibition OF
the Jeffries-Johnson fight pictures at
the coliseum on Tuesday evening. the
committee of good citizenship Of the
Ministerial association was instructed
to call upon Mayor Zimmerman. Chief
OF Police I. A. Gormon and an attor-
ney. The visit to the office OF Mayor
Zimmerman was non productive of re-
suits desired by the pastors and the
call upon Attorney Wilfred Jessup was
most discouraging.
II any action is taken on the pic
lures being exhibited. 1t will be by the
city officials and consequently a
appeal will be made to them by the
committee from the Ministerial asso-
citation. The attorney told the repre-
sentatives OF the association that
there were no laws whereby the own.
ers OF the film could be prohibited
from displaying the reproduction OF
the fight In the city.
In view of the fact that Mayor Zim-
norman has previously declared that
he saw no objection to the exhibition
and possibly would attend 1t himself
the outlook for the committee is most
discouraging. In their protest against
the fight pictures, the ministers de.
clared it was the reproduction OF ev'
cry scene of most disgraceful affair
Inasmuch as the state laws prevent
prize fight exhibitions, the association
was hopeful Of success.
The committee which called at the
office OF Mayor Zimmerman included
the Rev. T. J. Graham, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church and Her
bert Weed. secretary OF the Y. M. G
A., the Rev. Conrad Huber, pastor OF
st. Paurs Lutheran church. the Rev
Gates, pastor of Grace M. E. church

Is Pole Agreement Between
Telephone Co. and the
City a Binding One.
MUST CITY REMOVE WIREs7
COMPANY HAS ISSUED AN ORD
gR TO THAT EFFECT, BUT CITY
ATTORNEY THINKS THE CITY
CAN RESIST.

10 the contract between the city OF
Richmond and the Richmond Home
Telephone company In regard to the
Joint use OF poles binding or can the
telephone company order the city to
take its wires on the poles without re-
gard to such agreement? This some
what knotty problem was presented to
the board of public works at its meet
ing this morning. VIII 71rod John
son, superintendent ~ - Municipal
Light Plant. notified tie board that
the telephone company had notified
him TO take the municipal light wires
on nine poles. These are poles that
no longer have telephone wires on
them and the company wishes to use
them elsewhere. The board took the
ground that under the Joint pole
agreement. the telephone company
has no such right and that II 1t can
order the city's wires of any poles 1t
could order them of of all and that
the agreement would thus be merely
q farce. City Attorney Gardner took
this view of the case and holds that
the telephone company does not have
this right. The board instructed
superintendent Johnson to notify the
telephone company that the city could
not comply with It's order In regard
70 the poles and II necessary the bind
ing nature OF the ordinance will be
tested In the courts.
Question Of . Street.
william II. Campbell appeared be-
fore the board in regard to the paw
ing of North Sixth street from the
railroad to the Gaar shops. The ques-
ton IL on what material would be the
best for use here In view OF the very
heavy hauling that Ia done by the
Gaar.Scott company. Mr.. Campbell
was inclined to favor creosote block,
while City Engineer Charles was in.
clined to the belief that concrete
would make good street. It was
stated that the cost OF the creosote
block would be about $2.25 per cubic
yard. Of brick 50. and Of concrete
$3.50. No definite action was taken
and the board will inspect the street
again before there Is decision
reached.
Quarters Are Bad.
While Superintendent Johnson was
presenting the affairs OF the Municipal
Light Plant to the board he took occa-
sion to refer to the quarters occupied
