Mr.. Charles r. Splitter has sold to

BILE front brick store building being
erected by the Bryan estate on the
northeast corner of Broad and Eighth

TO transfer his pool parlors to these

offer from the Globe Company was
so fiattering, he says. that he could
not resist the temptation to dispose OF
the lease, which runs for a period
OF Ave years.
The Globe will vacate it's present
quarters on the southeast corner OF

secured a long lease on the Seventh

When the Globe announced several
months ago that IL would give up its
present quarters in the fall the com
pany expected at that time to oc-
cupy the new building which r. Fer
randini expected to erect on the site
of the old Monticello Hall. on the
south side of Broad street between
Sixth and Seventh streets. However,
these plans were upset by litigation

MILLS OEFERs
MERGER PLANS
WOULDN'T CONSOLIDATE COMMITS
TEES PENDING REPORT ON
NEW GOVERNMENT.
DISCUSSES SITUATION
PETERS TO URGE NEW TIMBER
WHARF AND COMPLAINT
AGAINST SCHOOL BOARD
WILL BE HEARD.

Believing it more advisable to wait
until a report is had from the cbTn-
mlttee on new form of city govern.
ment, Captain Morgan II. Mills. coun-
Gilman from Jefferson ward, and
chairman of the committee on water,
has determined not to introduce q
resolution at the session of the COM
mon council Monday night providing
for consolidation of the committees
on water, light and electricity, as sug-
gested at sessions of these commits
tees.
Captain Mills reached this deter
mination after attending the last
meeting of the new form of governs
ment committee at which he was i'm
pressed with the evident purpose OF
this committee to do something to-
ward giving the city a better method
OF administering its affairs.
Il believe that COMMITTEES is going
to give up a report during the life of
the present council. said Captain
Mills yesterday. and meanwhile I
think IL would be better for no steps
10 be taken toward consolidating any
of the council committees"
Superintendent Not Needed.
Captain Mills went on to say that
in his opinion the electricity commits
tee. II consolidated with the commit.
tee on water, could be operated with
consulting engineer and two men.
instead of eleven men. as at present.
As for superintendent for this de-
partment, Captain Mills did not think
such an official necessary at all.
1t will be recalled that former AL
derman f, Douglas Richardson. son
OF Mayor Richardson. resigned his
seat in council last September so az
u fnr
| tendent of the new municipal electric
plant. and he is still regarded as a
candidate for the position which was
to be officially created this coming
fall by council
A mass OF routine matters includs
ing committee reports is awaiting the
attention of council and 1t Is likely
that the meeting Monday night will
prove the busiest in some months As
already indicated in these columns.

+ costing $4,000. Witch council re-
Jected several months ago.
1t Is likely that the Peters meas-
ure will be referred to the commits

the expectation that a favorable re-
port will be returned.
1t is announced that council will
hear a complaint from representatives

WANTED IN LOUISA co.

Mr.. James l. Shelton. attorney-at-
York, Pa, and put all sorts of crimps
into that story to the effect that hes
was on the trail of a mysterious wo-
manufactured to be a we'll known
society woman of Richmond-wh no
held the key to the Beattie muir
der mystery.
Yes, Mr.. Shelton did see a news
paper reporter in York and he did
discuss the Beattie ease in a casual
way as nearly everybody else in the
country has done for the last two
weeks but that was not the pur-
pose of his trip to York, as the afore-
said reporter led many to believe by
the queries and stories he sent out
last Thursday night.
AS a matter of fact, the myst erious
"oman--so far from being a society
leader of Richmond stunning the mo-
toriety of the Beattie case as ma
teriai witness-was a dusky damsei
who knows good deal about a muir
der case in Louisa county in which
Mr.. Shelton is interested as associate

Phaup naturally wanted to know all
about ii and of course Mr.. Shelton
wanted TO know what his friend was
driving at When the situation was
fully explained TO the attorney, he
laughed and then he "cussed" the
York reporter with the vivid magma
ton
Mr.. Shelton was in the dark about
the matter because he left York
Thursday night. going TO Chambe rs-
burg, Md, on a business trip, before
returning 10 Richmond. When seen
last night, he said he had had scarce
ly any time to read the papers since
, leaving York. And so the Beattie
sensation be- unwstsiagas7s stirres, Up
had escaped his notice.
Negro Held Here.
Mr.. Shelton then went on to say
that the Louisa case concerns the
murder of Mr.. Hudson Rawson. OF
that county, who is alleged to have
been shot to death last January by
Punch" Barker. a negro. who is
at present in the Richmond Jail for
bookkeeping. Mr.. Rawson whose
brother. Lee Rawson, Is "a prominent
office holder of Louisa, was shot in
the back with revolver while walk
ing along the roadway one night near
his home. Barker was arrested soon
afterward on the strength OF a dying
statement from his alleged victim.
Public feeling ran high after the
tragedy and it was necessary to bring
the negro to Richmond to prevent a
lynching.
Mr.. Shelton formerly represented
Louisa in the legislature before he
went over from the Democratic to
the Republican fold. and is a per-
sonal friend Of the Rawson family.
| To-day. he will call ON counsel for
Henry Clay Beattte. Jr., and make
1t clear that at no time has he pre-
sumed to be associated with them in
the defense of this alleged young
wife murderer.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1911-12-07

What did our Puritan ancestors dine on at
their first Thanksgiving feast? Surely they
did not set the standard which is being foi-
lowed today on the, Thanksgiving dinner
menus.
We know that some things were lacking that
they must have greatly missed. There could
have been no butter cream, milk. cheese. or
any dish that is principally made with milk,
because there were no cows in New England
until 1928 when John Winthrop, later their
worshipful governor, brought over four cows
from England. The butter and cheese tina
they took with them on the Mayfower were
long since consumed. | hardly think they had
chicken pie for the feast for the fowls were
served as rare delicacy for the sick They
could have had eggs for their pies and pud-
dings Since they raised pumpkins they might
have had pumpkin pies, IL they made them
with water.
In the. ocean there was great abundance OF
fish oysters, and other shelfsh. OF course
there was none of their national dish. prime
roast beef no veal. lamb mutton or pork
There was plenty of deer, which would be
good substitute in vension. But they had one
thing that we like better than anything else
on Thanksgiving day. Wild turkeys were very
abundant in the woods and fields about Ply

fare for the November holiday have been
greatly increased In number or variety Your
hearty diner demands on Thanksgiving the es-
sentials such as turkey and celery and cram
berry sauce and pumpkin pie, which were the
standbys of the feast in the days of his father
and his grandfather before him. The point is
that some of the eatables are unquestionably
more favory than were their counterparts Of
several decades ago. and-with all due respect
to the kind that mother used to make--some
Of the modern recipes seem to put it all over
the old-timers in garnishes and the prepare
ton of buildings and pastry. etc.
And speaking Of the changes that have
come about, take the case of the toothsome
turkey, headliner of the whole holiday menu.
1t would be futile to try to convince the high
liver of the twentieth century who reves in
his milk-fed or chestnut-fed turkey from Rhode
Island or the middle west, that his forefathers
ever enjoyed anything delicious. Certainly
turkeys have increased in size, too, judging
by the average weight those that find their
way to market However, this latter develop
nent is clearly traceable to the tendency Of
turkey raisers to devote themselves almost
exclusively to the Bronze, the largest of the
six standard varieties of turkeys.
However there are two sides to this turkey
story. and the housewives who preside over
small families are the ones who have had
brought home to them the disadvantageous
side OF this boom in the size of turkeys With
the big bronze birds weighing from 16 to SO
pounds apiece-and usually nearer the latter
than the former figure-crowding the market
it is becoming every year more difficult for
the buyer of a family of two or three people
to find satisfactory six, seven or eight pound
turkey It really begins to look as though the
small families would be driven to hotels on
Thanksgiving or else be compelled to take in
boarders or entertain all their friends at the
holiday dinner.
Turkey buying, too is the phase of the
THANKSGIVING marketing where the increased
cost Of living most severely pinches the man
with the stationary income. dweller in any
of orr large cities may consider himself de-
cidedly in luck these days if he succeeds in
getting a tender turkey at Thanksgiving for
IS cents per pound, and he is much more likely
to be asked any figure up to SO or 40 cents per
mound. which prices have prevailed every
Thanksgiving in recent years In the New YORK
and Boston markets for the choicest birds.
The people of the central west nave an ad-
vantage over eastern turkey eaters. because

There were doubtless. onions, beets pars-

other vegetables, for a good variety of seeds
were brought over from Holland. Perhaps
there was succotash and the Indians must
have made it, for it was something that the
Pilgrim cooks had never heard of before, and
we know that they learned later from the IN
dams how to make it, Now, what did they
have for dessert, wonder? | think they may
have had some sort of pudding with buckle

very limited Perhaps they had substitute.
There were fine wild grapes in the woods and
they had doubtless dried store of wild straw
berries, cherries and plums. They surely did
not have any mince pies. since the Pilgrims
thought uince pies were very wicked, and
savored of Romanism. So they condemned
