! WINTER PROGRAM
For Commercial Club to Be
Drawn Up.

A meeting of the program commit
tee Of the Commercial club, which was
set for yesterday evening, was post
poned until the latter part of next
week, in order to give the several
subcommittee more time to prepare
their reports. John Mccarthy, chair
man of the general committee on pro-
grams, has outlined an elaborate
course for the coming winter.
One of the most important matters
to come before the committee at its
next meeting will be a discussion Of
plans for the three proposed automo-
bile trips through the country sur
rounding Richmond. Sub-committees
on entertainment, transportation.
route, advertising, and publicity will
submit their reports for the considera-
ton Of the general body. The first
OF the three trips has been postponed
from the twenty-fifty OF this month
until the first of November. This was
thought best as many Richmond peo-
pie anticipate attending the vehicle
exposition at Cincinnati, the last of
October.

ARE A BIG SAVING
Light Plant Stokers Prove a
Great Success.

The new stokers, recently installed
at the Municipal Electric Lighting
plant are proving very satisfactory
in more than one way. The stokers
are more economical than was the old
system, it being estimated by city Of
ficials that thirty-five per cent of
coal formerly used is not burned now.
The stokers, which abe of the under
fed type, burn the carbon which form
erly went out the smoke stacks at the
plant. This eliminates the smoke nui-
sance, the stokers acting as smoke
consumers.
1t is said that the work of firing the
stokers is easier than under the old
system as the stokers are built flush
with the floor, whereas the old CRATES
were higher.
that the stokers will have paid for
themselves in the saving of fuel. Pres
ident Hammond of the board of pub
lie works says that heretofore, from
October to January l, the light plant
has burned IS car loads of coal but
this year with the new stokers no
more than 40 car loads will be used,
which saving, together with the heat
obtained from the burning of the SCOT
and smoke, will make a saving of ap-
proximately fifty per cent. The stok-
er and blowers cost $5,7SS.

OBTAINS A PATENT
ON A HORSE SHOE

A patent has been obtained on a
spring horse shoe, which it is claimed
has several advantages over the old
style shoe, by Dorah Wilt, well
known blacksmith, living at Eleventh
and Main streets. Attached to the
calks of each shoe are two heavy bar
springs which as they give slightly up
on the horse striking his hoof to the
pavement, fits in a groove which is
formed in the shoe proper. 1t is
claimed that such shoes will take the
jar off OF the horse, especially those
driven on the hard city streets, and
furthermore it is claimed that the
shoes Of this pattern are more durable
than those Of the old style. The new
style shoe is a little heavier than the
old, but its other advantages more
than offset this.

Attorney Generals of Virgin
ia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Declare Dissolu-
ton Is Faulty.
DOES NOT COMPLY
WITH COURT ORDER
Proposition of Tobacco CON-
pany Defective as 1t Does
Not Offer Perfect Plan of
Free Competition.
(National News Association)

(National News Association)
NEW YORK, Oct. 21-The highest
legal officers of three of the biggest
tobacco growing states in the south
today filed petition in the U. S. cir.
cult court against the proposed reor-
Eanization of the American Tobacco
company. This petition bore the sig
natures of attorney generals Samuel
w. Williams. of Virginia. T. w. Spik-
ett of North Carolina, and J. Frazier
Lyon of South Carolina.
The petition states that the com.
monwealth represented by these off,
cials are known as the Bright Tobac-
co Belt" and produce about 260,000,-
900 pounds of leaf tobacco annually.
Hundreds of thousands of people are
engaged in this production who are
vitality interested in the dissolution
of tobacco trust, and they, after a
careful study of the plans of reorgani-
zation, find that it is fundamentally
defective, in that it does not offer a
perfect plan for free competition, and
does not comply with the terms of the
order of the u s. supreme court.

REBEL VICTORY IS
CAUSE FOR ALARM
Much Fear Now Expressed
that Insurrection Will
Spread Over Empire.
(National News Association)

PEKIN, Oct. 21.-Intense excite
ment prevails in the capital today fol-
lowing the receipt of advices telling
of decisive rebel victory at Hankow,
and the retreat of the imperial army.
Deep seated alarm of the government
was shown in the drastic measures
adopted to prevent demonstrations on
the part of the anti imperialists.
Many arrests were made by the SOL
diers who patrolled the streets to pre-
vent the crowds from gathering. The
general opinion in the foreign lega-
tions is that unless the government
strikes a blow at once dissipating the
rebel forces in Hupeh province, insur-
rection must certainly spread through
out the empire. striking deep at the
Pekin government.
Chinese rebels at Hankow have eth
er captured or sunk Admiral Sab Yen
Pings flagship in the Yang Use Kiang
river, according to dispatches re-
ceived in the capital today from the
front. This is the second Chinese war
ship reported disabled by the rebels.
The fate of the Chinese admiral was
not mentioned in the early dispatches
from Hankow.

LOCAL HEALTH GOOD
doctors Are Having but Lit.
tie to Do.

The best health that Richmond has
enjoyed for some months is the way
the local health department officials
describe the situation now. Two cases
of diphtheria, and a few minor ills are
the only blots ON the nearly perfect
record which the city is establishing
for the m month of October The mortal
ity also has been low. and several To-
cal physicians have said that they
have had less to do than at any time
recently.
The reason assigned for the desira-
BILE condition is that there has been
no sudden change in the weather for
several weeks. For this reason. some
doctors fear that at the first nip of
frost. a sudden epidemic of illness may
result. The dreary. damp weather that
is certain for a large part Of Novem-
ber. is also apt to cause much sick
ness.
The typhoid fever situation here is
entirely satisfactory. No new cases
have been reported since the arst
week of this month. and the only two
patients in town are almost well. If
the local doctors can control the diph-
iberia now as we'll as they have ty-
phoid. the city will be in no danger
Of an epidemic.

BOSTON, Oct 21.-While madden

hung him in effigy at Hyannisport to-
day, the Rev. Clarence Virgil Thomp-

accused of the murder of 10 year old
Avis Linnell, the beautiful student
of the New England Conservatory of
Music, was defended by Miss Violet
Edmands, his fiancee.
Weeping in her mothers arms, Miss
Edmands declared that the pastor is
innocent.
He did not kill Miss Linnell," she
sobbed. He could not have done it.

Her mother stroked her hair and
pleaded with her to be calm.

But the grief stricken girl refused
to be consoled.
The parents of Miss Edmands share
her belief in Richeson's innocence. Al.
though her father, Moses Grant Ed

was scheduled for October 81, the day
when the accused minister will enter
on trial for his life, close friends said
today that he will spend his entire

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 21.-The
Athletics-Giants game for the world s
championship scheduled for today was
officially declared of at S:45 a. m. be-
cause of rain and wet grounds.
Rain today was certainly a hard
blow" said Connie Mack, manager of
the Athletics. Saturday is always a

The same conditions apply to the
Giants. McGray today had Mathewson,
Marquard and Ames at his disposal to
pick from to take the mound in the
next game.
With the lull in interest betting has
reached a standstill, although the ath-
letics are still to favorites for the
outcome Of the series.
Prospects of another sensation is
threatened over the moving picture

of both teams are up in arms today
prepared to enforce what they deem
their rights to a share of the enor-
nous receipts that the pictures will
draw. Reports that a Chicago firm
cleared up 100000 from last years
moving pictures have stirred up both
aggregations to the boiling point. In
consequence of conferences held be-
tween Christy Mathewson, of the
Giants, and Representatives of the
Athletics, formal demand probably
will be made to the national commits
sion that a percentage of the profits
be turned over to the players. In lieu
of this the players will ask an expla-
nation as to where the receipts really
go and if they are not satisfied with
the arrangement they declare that
there would be no posing for the nlm
