TEMPERANCE THEME
FOR MAYOR TO-DAY

The four who faced the mayor in
police court this morning on the
charge of public intoxication were
much the worse for wear. Each plead
ed guilty in turn and all went down in
default of money to pay fines of 81
and costs.
Before filming them, the mayor read
them a lengthy sermon on the evils of
intemperance, this being called forth
by the statement of one of the men
who said he had four grown chifdfSn
in Aurora, H., where ne wanted to go.
The mayor said it should be provided
by law that whenever a man demon
strates by getting drunk, his inability
to drink without taking too much. he
should be arrested when seen drinking
again. and the saloonkeeper who sells
the liquor should lose his license. The
men fined We're John Ingersoll. Billy
Sharp, Dan Daily and Harry Webster.
Sharp was found back of the NJ. Rune
ly plant with his left eye closed and
black from a fall.

STATE COMMISSION
HAS ARRIVED HERE
To Inspect Schools to See the
Kind of Vocational Train
ing Offered.

The commission appointed by Cover
nor Marshall recently with the idea of
ascertaining what vocational training
is now offered in the public schools
throughout the state and to secure
ideas for needed improvement along
this line, will visit Richmond this aft
ernoon. A meeting will be held at the
high school auditorium this evening at
which time Will w. Yarling, of Shelby
vile, state senator, and chairman of
the commission, will make an address,
Frank Duffy, secretary of the Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners, also
member of the commission, will
speak.
The meeting will be open to every
one and has been arranged by the
committee appointed by the Com
mercial club, composed of George H.
Knollenberg, chairman, Pres. r. L.
Kelly of Earlham college, Supt of
schools Mott, Sharon E. Jones and w.
u. Carr. Mr.. Knollenberg probably will
preside at this evenings meeting. The
meeting will open at o'clock.
The presiding officer, after Mr. Var
ling and Mr.. Duffy have talked upon
the question of the betterment of vo-
cational training in the schools of this
city, will call on manufacturers and
others in the audience for their views
concerning this matter.
A very favorable report was made
by the Commercial club committee
which inspected the schools of the
city a short time ago for the purpose
of ascertaining the advantages offer
ed here along the vocational training
line. The training offered students in
the Garfield and high schools is said
to be above the average of such
schools in other cities of the same
size of Richmond in this state.

which went to New York today is arm
ed with subpoenas, whereby officers
and members of the crew will be held
by force, if necessary, to testify in the
investigation of the loss of the Titanic.
This extraordinary action of the gov
ernment is taken at the direction of
the president, and is the result of a
report that the Titanic's surviving of
ficials were planning to leave for Eng
land on another ship of that company
without giving the United States gov
ernment time to question them. II
was reported at the navy department
that a wireless message, sent by J.
B. Ismay TO the White Star officials
in New York, had been picked up, in
which they were directed to book pas
sage for hi mon an outgoing steam
er. 1t was the purpose, according to
the report, for Ismay to trans-ship to
this steamer and return to England
without setting foot on American soil
and thus escape subpoena to appear
before the investigating committee OF

MRS. BASS-LQGAN V
MADE NEW RECORD
Waltzes for IL Hours, Fore.
ing One of Her Part
ners to Quit.

Mrs. Isabelle Bass-Logan, who start
ed in the Eagles marathon waltz at
the Coliseum yesterday morning at
S:57, stopped dancing this morning
at O'Clock, having in that time dane
ed several miles and broken the
worlds record, having overlapped the
previous record of Is hours and forty
minutes by twenty-three minutes.
There were no contenders for the
title. Etters and Mrs. Logan were the
only ones to start at the. stipulated
time, nine O'Clock, and although there
were several other couples who dane
ed fore several hours, they did not try
for second and third prizes. First
prize was $40.
When two O'Clock came Mrs. Bass
Logan was notified that she had brok
en- the worlds record. She asked the
managers of the dancing affair il
they did not want her to dance ar
hour or more longer" but they told
her she had danced long enough
When Etters quit al nine O'Clock. he
said he was "all in," and went home
Sherman White, who played for the
dancers, also quit at the same time
Etters did, took few moments res
and then played again until the dane
ing stopped. His drummer, Emme
Wolfe, played all the time The drum
mer also broke worlds record
The affair was given under the aus
pices of the Eagles degree team. In
the evening at 7:30 o'clock. severa
hundred dancers took the floor anG
danced around the marathoners fol
several hours, until late hour. There
were about six hundred people present
to watch the dancers trying for the
worlds record. There is some ques
tion as to the validity of Mrs Bass
Logans claim to the worlds cham
pionship title, inasmuch as she did
not dance the entire time. with one
partner. However, when Etters quit
dancing she kept in motion until an,
other partner came forward.
Although the rules of the contest
were that the dancers We're entitled to
two minutes rest out of each hour, no
time was taken by the dancers.
