six members may the terms of two

cording to the present plan, so that
the terms of no two of the said com
nlssioners shall expire each year. ex-
cept that in case the number of com
missioners shall exceed six. then ir
that event the terms Of as many as
two commissioners may expire in the
same year"
There are now eight commissioners
on the board. their terms expiring as
follows: Gordon, 1911: Thomas, 1912
Manning, 1918; Landerkin, 1914; Nc.
/ Carthy. 1915; We'll. 1916; Bradley
1916: Goode, 1916.

Umlauf Denounces Junketing
Trips for Members of City
Council.

At its meeting last night the Council
Committee on Ordinance. Charter and
Reform recommended that the pay OF
employees of the Street Cleaning De-
partment be increased from 81 to S2.26
per day. recommendation that san
itary officers be paid the same as po-
licemen was also made.
Chairman Umlauf made pathetic
plea for the street cleaners, as did
Councilman ]. j. Mitchell. Mr.. Mitchell
said the employees of the Street Clean
ing Department deserved more pay.
Mr.. Umlauf said street cleaners are
at work In all kinds of weather. Ele
explained that in hot and dry weather
these men inhale the dust OF the
streets, which is bound to affect their
lungs. He also said that the work was
trying and the hours long.
In discussing the question as TO the
policy of paying street cleaners s2.25

corporations. He said because they

diture of money for this and that pur-
pose WOu4u meet with pupAidi WV

is no reason why some people should
ride in automobiles while others can't
buy fish. These men should be paid fair
wage. II the city viii pay good wages
it will force the corporations to do the
same. and then the poor man Will get

New Ordinance Provides That

animation.
ALL MUST BE LICENSED

The Council Committee on ordt.
nance. Charter and Reform recon.
mended last night the adoption of an
ordinance requiring all persons who
drive automobiles 10 pass an examirla.
ton and obtain license from board
of examiners. The ordinance provides
that all persons who drive cars In
their knowledge of the operation and
handling of cars The license will cost
81.
The ordinance was recommended
with a. few minor changes. suggested
by Councilman Batkins representing
the Richmond Automobile Club No
person under eighteen years of age
will be permitted to run an automo-
bile. Failure to obtain a license for
operating a car will subject the de-
linquent to a fine Of from S25 to $780,
The board of examiners will consist
of three members. appointed by the
Police Commissioners The pay OF the
examiners was fixed at 500 year,
The original ordinance provided tor a
compensation of $50. but 1T was stated
by Mr.. Batkins that the owners of
automobiles did not believe competent
men could be secured for that amount.
He suggested the pay be made $500.
Councilman Elicit moved that the pay
be 5000, whereupon Councilman Fuller
suggested 500, which was recon-
mended.
Women Must Get Licenses.
The automobile owners approved the
clause requiring drivers of cars to be
| eighteen years old. Women may run
y > an
examination. No examination will be
required as to the mechanism. but sim
ply as to the proper driving and hand
ling OF machines. It was explained
by Mr.. Batkins that few owners OF
care could qualify as machinists.
| 1t was stated by every member of the
committee that the object of the ordi-
| nance is not to work a hardship or
those who are careful and discreet in
the driving of automobiles, but &c
force the reckless ones TO have a
proper regard for the life and lint
of people. According to the Richmond
Automobile Club, 1t has no objection
to the ordinance in the main. The
| license tax of 81. however. is objec-
tionable.
The original ordinance only allowed
tourists stay of forty-eight hour!
in the city without license. On mo-
ton of Councilman Mitchell this wa:
changed to seven days. Mr.. Batkin!
suggested that tourists be allowed
ten days in the city without being re-
Iquired to pass an examination or Sc.
cure a license.

HAVE HOPE IN SENATE.
Commissioners End Conferences With
Committee on District Bill.

The District Commissioners came back
To the District building today after their
three-day conference with the Senate
committee on appropriations, and from
their smiles one would think that they
are quite hopeful that considerable por-
ton of the $9OO,OOO which the House
carved from the estimates will be put
back.
The Commissioners believe that the
Senate will not agree to the provision in
serted by the House that the $1,000 APP
propriated for the maintenance of mu-
nicipal Fairgrounds shall be paid entirely
by the District.
Commissioner Mcfarland took up the
cudgels in behalf Of this measure and
made a strong fight to have the House
provision stricken out. He said there
was no reason for treating the play
grounds appropriation differently from
any other appropriation, and that the
half and half principle ought not to be
departed from i'm the slightest degree. He
said that the Fairgrounds were part OF
the education of the public and there was
no more reason than for making the
District bear the whole expense OF the
public schools.
Commissioner Mcfarland said this
morning that Senator Galinger had init
mated that the subcommittee took the
SAN view of the matter.

Fresh light is thrown on his character.
and We find that, like the great Saladn.
he was not only a mighty warrior. but a
great architect and far-sighted builder.
He seems TO have realized quite early in
his reign that the position of Nineveh
rendered it particularly open to attack
on all sides. and he decided to fortify his
capital. Before his reign no king had
taken the trouble to extend the city or to
build wall round ii, or to straighten
the streets. or to dig out the river. or to
start plantations. lie induced immigra-
ton from Chaldea and Arank, men of
| kue and Cilicia, Philistines and Tyrians.
and set them to make bricks. cut down
thinner in the mountains and bring 1t to
NlneNeh, and to erect platform. On this
platform Sennacherib built a magnificent
palace, ornamented with bronze, ivory
precious woods Of all kinds. beams of
cypress and doors Of cedar, plated with
silver and copper, the like of which had
never been dreamed of by any Assyrian
kin before.
Besides the building of the palace he
provided water supply for the city, max
ing conduits and wells, and planted all
kinds of herbs and fruit trees from coun-
tries outside Of Nineveh The site of the
city before Sennacherib's time was about
900 cubits. To this he added l2.515 Gu.
bits. Sennacherib built both an inner and
an outer wall The inner wall was built
thick The outer wall rested upon huge
stones sunk to the water level of the
river Besides these walls Sennacherib
built seven gates which faced southeast
three which faced north and five which
faced west. The list of the names of the
gates and the remarks as to their relative
position will afford valuable help to fu-
tnre investigators Of the topography of
Nineveh.
Other information supplied by the cyln-
der will prove of great interest to histo-
rical students. for il concerns the cam
paigns of the years r &. Cos and 695 In

against the people who dwelt in Ingira
and TaTsus. for they had seized the

He defeated and despoiled them, besides
~eizing the chief rebel kirua Governor of
Ilubrl. who was brought with the spoils
taken from his towns TO Nineveh, where
nc was fiayed.
Sennacherib rebuilt Tarsus after its
destruction. laying out the town after the
model Of Babylon. In the city Of IluhrlI
he made manifest his authority by set
ting up STEELE which was sculptured
the emblem of the god Ashur Three
years later fB. c, $3.50 another revolt in
the northeast of Cilicia was led by a man
called khidi and as he rapidly acquired
power Assyrian soldiers were sent by
Sennacherib to besiege Til-garimnlu,
Which was very soon captured and de-
stro4 ed
