Rented Offices on Main

President William H. White, of the
Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac

denied that his road had secured quar-
tiers for it's general offices on Main

was true that he had entered into ne

office space in the Mayo Building. at
Seventh and Main Streets, for certain
of the railroad Offices. which have over
run their quarters at the Byrd Street
Station.

TWOSTRONGBA
70 CONSOLIDATE
Capitol Savings and Bank Of
+ Commerce and Trusts at Work
on Merger Plan.
STOCKHOLDERS YET TO VOTE
Scheme Calls for Big Financial
Institution With Increased
Deposits.

1t became known yesterday that
tentative plans for the consolidation
OF the Bank of Commerce and Trusts
and the Capitol Savings Banks are in
progress
For more than year 1t has been
known that the Bank of Commerce
and Trusts owned more than a major
/ ity of the stock of the Capitol Savings
Bank. a consolidation of the two in
stitutions appears to be but u natural
consequence, although at this time no
definite action has been taken. The
stockholders have not yet voted on
the question.
If these two banks consolidate 1t
will add another pillar of strength to
the banking situation in Richmond.
1t will give the combined bank a
capital of approximately 100000 and
a surplus of 100000. with deposits Of
more than s1,600,o0o.
The plan of consolidation contem
plates the payment of the same rate
of interest to the present depositors OF
the Capitol Savings Bank. The bust
ness of both banks will be conducted
in a conservative and safe manner as
heretofore.
Great DnnkinE Centre.
Richmond has for long time been
the financial Gibraltar of the South, It's
clearings being more than the clear
ings of the cities of Norfolk and At
lanta combined. Perhaps no city south
of Mason and Dixon's line enjoys bet
ter banking facilities than Richmond.
The two banks which 1t is proposed to
merge enjoy the confidence of the city
and surrounding country.
Successful and capable tinanciers
have been at the head of these two
| l,,,-t
did increase in deposits and earnings.
The merging of the two interests will
doub tless add strength and prestige
and result in an important factor in
the financial growth of Richmond
One of the pleasing features of this
| consolidation is the fact that there
| will be practically no cnange in the
! officers or directors.

merce and Trusts at present are: Oil

Vigorous efforts are being made to
save the life of Angelic Hamilton. sem
fenced to die in the electric chair at
the Penitentiary tomorrow. Cover
nor Mann, who has had the case under
adyisement for some time. will give a
final hearing to the friends OF Hamil-

shooting and killing Mrs. Sallie Hicks
near Lynchburg. John Armstrong. the
only witness of the shooting. appeared
at the Governors office yesterday. but
Governor Mann was OF of town. He
will return for an interview with the
Governor to-day. Armstrong claims
that Hamilton was drunk and that the
shooting was accidental. and that he
merely had a pistol with him at tho
time for the purpose of selling 1t to a
man named Crawford, who worked In
a nearby store.
The shooting, he says. occurred dur
Ing struggle for possession of the
pistol. Hamilton has been tried three
times. twice with hung jury. In the
first trial one man held out. and In
the second there were two for acquit-
tai. the others being for conviction.

DANGLING FIGURE

dangling body dressed in frock

The train dashed by without stopping,
but OIL its arrival in Richmond the

and overcome any mob which might
have formed itself into lynchinS bee.
Chester reported no signs of mob
there. nor was there any report of
any crime of violence such as might
incite the men of Chesterfield to take
the law in their own hands Then. it
was suggested that IT might be a case
of suicide.
Railroad men and county officers
tramped down the track to remove the
body and see if 1t bore any clews to
the dastardly perpetrators of terrible
crime. They found a graceful scare
crow. hanging jauntily, with rope
around it's neck, and there was a yell
of enjoyment from the boys of the
neighborhood who had lynched the lay
figure stolen for the occasion from
the corn field of neighboring far
mer.

and then the other, and made the at
tack.
What he said is forgotten now, but
when the colonel looked up the regular
saw what he considered "the spittin'
image" of Taft, but not TAFT.
That's all right friend,' said the
colonel, 1T has happened before. Once
during the campaign l met Mr., Taft
and he told me l looked so much like
him that ought to vote for him, They
took me for Taft in Nashville and
again at Birmingham"
But the harueat thing the colonel
had to do was to,persuade the regular
that he couldn't possibly go in the
bar; he Is teetotaler, ).

THOUSANDS SEEK
BREEZE IN PARkS
Hot Night Sends Everybody Out
of Doors to Escape
Suffering.

Ten thousand sufferers last night
sought sweet surcease from the almost
torrid heat in the parks, on the streets.
in the playhouses and on cool balconies
anywhere they might feel artificial
or natural breezes But still they were
hot, and visions of that other and hot
ter place foated unconlfortably before
the minds eye Of those who had sinned
and not repented. Ice cream went by
the gallon; soft, cooling drinks We're
drained by the barrel. and the iceman
gloated, as did the confectioner. It's
an III wind that blows nobody good.
and where the thousands suffered the
few dozen reaped rich harvest. In
the cold weather one blows his hands
to warm them; in hot weather, when
the mercury seems bent on climbing
out of his tube, one blows his tea to
cool 1t. So in winter the cold man goes
to the confectioner for warm drinks.
and to other places, too; and in sum-
mer he goes to the same places to get
cool. Likewise, there is proverb that
It's poor rule that doesn't work both
ways. and whether 1t blows hot or II
blows cold, somebody profits.
But down on seventeenth Street and
out in the Ward, where the advantage s
of civilization are few and far between
and for whose inhabitants a parental
government has furnished no park OF
resort, the people Jared worse,

sleeping on the pavement and in theii

sweep, And the white moon shroudet
them in light, making the street look
as though the hand OF Herod hac
passed through and laid low Rachel's
children.
