PLAN
Presented to the Board oi
Works.

William H. Bailey. manager of the
Richmond Home Telephone company.
was before the board of works this
morning. and suggested that mer-
chants be asked to install electric
cluster lights. and fixtures in front of
their places of business on the condi-
ton that the city would furnish cur
rent free of charge. The board con-
si6ered the proposition and believes
that it is good one.
However no policy in regard to the
cluster lights has yet been adopted.
City Engineer Charles will investigate
and report soon the best methods
to pursue in the installation of lights
and the furnishing of current. Super
intendent Johnson of the municipal
light plant says that the plant will
easily be able to pull the additional
load which will be caused by the ad-
dition of new lamps on Main street.
as these require much more current
than the arc lights which they will
replace. The board hopes to have
the lights in place by the time of the
|G. A. r. encampment in May.

Edward B. Barry, commander of the
United States Pacific fleet. was today
placed on the retired list after hur-
ried consultation by Secretary Meyer

Admiral Barry applied by telegraph
to the navy department to be placed
on the retired list though he lacks
two years of the age limit. While

will succeed Barry in command of the
Pacific fleet.
According to the kilograms which
reached Washington from officers of

been completely ignored by his Off
GERS and the crew of the flagship since
the scandal became public
Petty officers are said to have made
a report of the alleged offense to OFF,

meeting and notified the admiral that
he must resign. He refused to do SO
and asked to be retired

best known officers of the navy. He
is New Yorker, graduated from the
naval academy in 1866 and has had 80
years of sea service.
News of the charges against Rear
Admiral Barry caused a sensation in
naval circles here today. Friends Of
the aged officer were astounded at the
sensational revelations. made more re-
markable by the fact that his fellow
officers on the West Virginia are said
to have offered him the alternative of
committing suicide after exposure and
sent him revolver which he refused
to use.

Denouncing the saloon regulation
bill. drafted by the state brewers asso-
citation and any fulfllment of the sug-
gestions regarding temperance legisla-
ton made by Governor Marshall in
his message. except his recommenda-
ton for substitution of town and town
ship option in place of county option,
as violations of the Democratic pla-
form, the Richmond Ministerial asso-
citation this morning adopted resolu-
tions instructing its delegates to the
anti-saloon league meeting in Indian
apolis tomorrow to confer with Wayne
county's legislators and request them
to earnestly protest against the pas
sage of such measures.
Asked to Protest.
The resolution adopted merely urg-
ed the county's representatives to pro-
test against anything over and above
the provisions in the Democratic plat
form. In explanation of this action
one of the ministers stated at the
close of the meeting that as the regu-
lation bill and the governors sugges-
tions were in addition to the platform
temperance pledges their passage
would be platform violation.
II was stated that as the Democratic
party is in control and in a position
to pass such legislation as it desired,
the substitution of town and township
option for county option which is
pledged in the platform. could not
very well be opposed with any success
and efforts along that line would be
wasted.
The action of the ministers was
called forth by the reading of let
ter sent to the good citizenship COM
mittee by the state secretary Of the
anti-saloon league asking that the min
listers urge the legislators from this
county to oppose any measure which
would be backward step in temper
ance legislation. The letter was read
by Timothy Nicholson.
II is not known how many ministers
will attend the anti-saloon league
meeting in Indianapolis tomorrow but
| 1t Is understood there will be a repre-
sentative delegation and that it will
act according to the resolution passed.
Another Resolution.
The ministers went on record as ia
voring a discontinuance in the distri-
button and collection of mail on Sun
day. A motion to this effect was pass
ed, following the reading of the report
of the Sabbath observance committee
by the Rev. I. NJ. Hughes, which re-
commended such action. Special de-
livery service is not included in that
urged to be discontinued, the minis
ters believing it necessary for import
ant mail to be handled. The secretary
was ordered to notify William o. Bar
