MUST FAVOR LOCAL
SUPPLY HOUSES
Dealers Association Withholds
Approval From Y. w. c. A.
Building Campaign.

Until some assurance is given that
Richmond firms will have preference in
the award of contracts for the new
building. aid will be refused to the
campaign for the Young Women's
Christian Association by the Richmond
supply Dealers Credit Association. In
view Of previous experiences it was
determined yesterday morning to table
resolution of approval until some
such assurance is forthcominE
The question came up on n resolution
tndorsinS the Association and recon-
mendlng to the members that they be
liberal In their contributions. Objec-
tion was raised that in 1907 the asso-
citation had passed similar resolutions
and actively aided in the campaign
for funds for the Young Mems Chris
tian Association building, in which
campaign more than 100000 was rails
ed. The contract for that building was
awarded to Gilbert j. Hunt. of this
city, but it was stated that nearly all
of the subcontracts were awarded out
side of the city, and that the Richmond
supply houses were not given an OPP
portunity TO bid on the plumbing,
heating and other fixtures. Financed
as the building was by the business
men OF Richmond, and made possible

ers. II was generally felt that a great
Injustice had been done the local sup
ply market The resolution of indorsc-
ment for the woman's building In the
pending project was therefore tabled
until somo specific assurance Is re-
ccived that In the erection of the build
Ing which is proposed, prefer encc will
be given to local bidders all other
things being equal. If that is given.
several members OF the Supply Dealers

TEACHERS ASK FOR CREDIT

Charges recently brought against
Arthur d. Wright, division superin-
tendent of the schools of lien:ico
county. were dismissed last night ut
The meeting OF the state Board of Ed
ucation. These charges were heard at
the previous meeting, and included
statements OF lack of proper attention
to the wishes OF patrons, the establish
ment Of burdensome scholastic re-
auirements and such like omenses
Mr.. Wright at that time made spir-
tied reply. in which spades were called
such when in his opinion they MGR
tied ii. The board apparently did
not think the accusations worthy OF
further consideration.
The educational body was in session
for several hours, all members being
present.
School Want Credit.
From various educational institu-
tions came demands for the issuance
Of teachers certificates to graduates
OF colleges and universities. The board
has as vet set no complete standards
In this matter, but expects to do SO
in order that those who have complet-
ed the courses in institutions of high
grade may have credit without addi-
toni examinations. But first the col
leges will be inspected by the board
and their grades decided upon.
For the present, the issuance OF
these certificates was left with Super
intcndent Eggleston. with power to
act This refers. of course, to those
coming from Virginia schools When
applications come from graduates OF
institutions outside OF the State they
are TO be issued when such schools
are accredited by the standards OF the
Association of American Universities
or by the National Association of
State Universities.
There was also demand from Rich
mond teachers for credit on their GER
tthcatcs for work done at Richmond
College in the Saturday classes, which
have been recently established This
was left with a committee composed
of Superintendent Eggleston, Dr. J. L.
Jarman and Secretary r. C. Stearnes.

ENGINE RUNS AWAY
Sony Badly Hurt When II Broke out
of IlOuntIhOusc

w
When engine No. 6S, of The Chesa
pcake and Ohio Railway, was being
taken out of tho roundhouse yesterday,
In some unexplained manner 1t got
away from the "hostler," Q. D. Seay,
of 400 North Twenty-ninth Street
seventy years old, and went on a mad
dash down the main tracks OF the road
and did not stop until It's steam gave
out near l1llerson.
Seay was seriously hurt. The city
ambulance was summoned and he was
taken to the Virginia Hospital.
How the locomotive got away from
the "hostler" is q mystery. II started
on its rampage. throwing the old en-
gineer from his post. In some way his
left hand was caught, and he was
dragged for about $50 yards. Three
fingers were literally torn from his
hand, and he was badly bruised. Hc
was given surgical attention by Dr.
llulchcr and later removed to the hos.
pital.
That the runaway engine did not dc
further damage was considered re,
markable. The fast eastbound express
of the Chesapeake and Ohio had tc
be stopped and sidetracked to ayoic
collision. a yard engine and crew
were sent after the wild engine. anc
brought it back to the shops after /,
had exhausted Its steam supply.
