Stories and Standards for
Rich mond Households

for segregation of the white and coll
ored races in Richmond Is sound and
constitutional, according to City At
torney Pollard.
Following is the gist of Mr.. Pol
lard's opinion on the subject:
While there may be some doubt
as to whether the powers conferred
upon the council of the city of Rich
mpnd under its charter and the gen.
eral towns is sufficient to justify the
legislation proposed. by reason of the
well recognized principle of munich
pie law that the councils of the cities
and towns of the State have no powers
of legislative character except those
expressly conferred, or such powers as
necessarily How from powers that are
expressly conferred. yet / am of
opinion that the necessary power IS
found in section 10 of the city char
ter, which provides that the council
of the city of Richmond shall be au-
thorized to enact suitable ordinances
to secure and promote the general
welfare of the inhabitants of the city,
by them deemed proper for the safe
~, health. peace, good order and
morals of the community /, there
fore, hold that the ordinance in Ques-
ton, is passed, would be by the courts
held to have been enacted by the
council in pursuance of said provision,
and intended to promte the peace
and good morals of the community.
and this being so, they will hold that
there is ample power in the council
to enact II.
On the question of the constitu-
tionality of the ordinance, feel con-
fident that 1t would be upheld In the
courts. and declared to be not repug-
nant TO the Federal or State consti-
tutions."

There Is yoke here. but il Is cut
in one with the upper part of the
sleeves. Below II the material is fair
~ full in both back and front and
the closing Is in the centre of the
back.
This is model which demands soft
material at least for the lower por-
ton. The upper part may be of some
thing substantial. A good combina-
ton is silk for the yoke and net for
the remainder. Another idea Is to
use linen for the yoke and some
thing embroidered for the rest of the

FARMERS ELEVATOR
Line IN TROUBLE

Aberdeen. s. D.. Oct. 1O.-The South
Dakota Farmers Elevator Co. operating
line Of elevators at Nahon, Randolph,
Verdsn, Brentford and Stratford,
small towns in Brown county, has
closed for the time being, and a COM
mittee of creditors, farmers having
grain stored in the elevators, yester-
day afternoon held meeting and APP
pointed committee to engage a law
yer TO represent their interests and
start an investigation of the affairs
Of the company. 1t Is alleged by the
creditors that w. B. Roby OF Verden.
manager Of the company is short in his
accounts to the extent Of $4,000 BUSH
els Of wheat and $40,0 900 in cash. Roby
has always borne a good reputation
for business integrity and acumen,
and his weekly, monthly and quarterly
reports Of the business transacted have
been accepted by the directors with
out question. Suspicion that all was
not right was first aroused when e.
s. Nelson Of Stratford, a prominent
farmer, presented a certificate for g.
600 bushels OF grain stored in the
Stratford elevator owned by the com
pany, and was informed by the local
manager that the grain was not on
hand Investigation followed, and 1t
was found the company was heavily
involved, many storage certificates be-
ing out, and no grain on hand to meet
them.
At the meeting yesterday, six farm
ers holding altogether 10000 bushels
OF grain in the suspended elevators
held a meeting, and after appointing
committee, adjourned till next Sat
urday at Stratford, at which time it is
expected all the creditors will be pres
emit.
The farmers who have started the
investigation express the belief that
Manager Roby has been specializing,
and became involved in that way. No
arrests have been made.

STATE LAUNDYhEN
in CONVENTION
CLEAN BUNCH or DELEGATES
IN A CLEAN BUSINESS
AT JAMESTOWN.

Jamestown, N. D., Oct. 10.--For the
second time within q month James,
town was the mecca for a state COM
vention when the members OF the
North Dakota Laundrymen's associa-
ton gathered in this city for their an
nual meeting. The number Of dele
gates was much smaller than had been
expected on account of many OF the
laundrymen being unable to leave their
business at this particular time. None
OF the laundrymen OF Devils Lake
were present and only two from Far
so found 1t possible to attend.
The meetings were held in the city
hall and J. e. Halstead Of this city.
president OF the state organization.
presided. The morning session was
given over almost entirely to the
routine business OF the association
and In the afternoon addresses alter
mated with debate on convention ques-
tions.
It was at first thought best to add
several social features to the act
ual convention, but on account OF the
nature OF the laundrymen's business IL
was thought best to cut down the
time of the meeting to just what was
essential to the business OF the assoc
citation, and the most important
speeches.
One OF the important steps of the
convention was the withdrawal OF the
state association from the national or
ganization although future action may
reverse this decision. The move was
the outcome of action taken by the
national body in recent convention in
the twin cities that all state associa-
tions should pay dues to the national
organization for all its members ac-
cording to the general Interpretation
Of the uling. There was some DIFF
ference Of opinion, however, on the
meaning Of this new measure and an
opinion on the Interpretation of the
ruling will be solicited from national
officers. All the delegates wished 70
retain the affiIiation IL permitted to
follow the old plan but thought the
new demand for dues, IL rightly inter-
preted. was arbitrary, and would tend
to reduce the state membership. In
dividual members stiIl have the priv
iiege of membership in the national
association and many will do this.
r. CT. Leach Of Fargo was one of the
afternoon speakers and gave strong
plea for cooperation in the associa-
ton. At the close Of his address he
read a story In which he forcefully
pointed out the benefits to man for
working closely in harmony with 9TH
ers in the same business even IL 1t
did not add dollars in his purse.
C. A. Peterson Of Minot delivered
purely technical address on the sub
ject of Soap and Water, and w. A.
Collins of Grand Forks spoke on Cost
OF Production. Each OF these addresses
was followed by general debates on
technical subjects.
