], c, TOWNSEND DEAD
Prominent and Wealthy Res
ident Expired Today.

John G. Townsend. we'll known
resident Of this community, died at
his home, 35 South Eleventh street,
early this morning, following only a
very brief illness.
Mr.. Townsend had been in poor
health for some years, but had never
been confined to his bed until last
Thursday morning, when he was sud-
denly attacked with uric poison. He
failed rapidly and died at three
o'clock this morning.
Mr.. Townsend was born II years
ago in Franklin township where he
went to school. After his school days
he started in business in Cincinnati,
but in 1865 changed his residence to
Chester. He was engaged for Al
years in the real estate business, and
during that time acquired a large ex-
tent of valuable property in the. east
ern part Of the country. He moved to
Richmond in 1909. Mr.. Townsend
was one of the most prominent and
wealthy members of the Hicksite
Friends church.
Mr.. Townsend was an active leader
in securing the funds necessary for
the erection of the Y. NJ. G. A. here,
and gave $4,000 to the association. So
iicitors in the present financial cam
paign were just preparing to visit him
this morning when they learned of his
death.
Mr.. Townsend is survived by q son
and q brother. The funeral will be at
the Hicksite Church. 1000 a. M. Mon.
day, and burial will be in Ridge Gem.

A new QUARANTINE
ON DOGS POSSIBLE
Question of Issuing Order
Being Considered by
DR.. Davis Today.

Whether a quarantine accomplishes
its purpose, and is necessary for the
health OF the community are the ques-
tions being considered today by Health
Oficer T. Henry Davis.
DIR. Davis states that he is spending
today investigating the canine situa-
ton in Richmond and will announce
Monday whether he will issue a new
order forcing all local puppies to wear
muzzles for another month.
The conditions here are still serious,
according to statements made by both
city health officer Davis and county
health commissioner J. e King. A final
report from Dr. J. p. SimOnds, head of
the state meteorological laboratory at
Indianapolis. informs DR.. Davis that
the head of the last dog sent for exam
les. proving that the dog was infected
with rabies. This means that over thir-
ty infected dogs have been found here
since the start of the recent epidemic.
County Ohicer King asserts that he
has found many dogs in the country
sections of Wayne Township that eth.
er had rabies or were dangerously in
fected in other ways. Owing to the
number of cases that have developed
since the removal of the quarantine
ban in the city, DR.. King believes the
people in the country are suffering no
hardship by the enforcement of lon
ger quarantine. DR.. King claims that.
as has been proved now. many cases
of rabies will develop after the expira.
ton of thirty day order.
) o.. DR.. Davis maintains that one great
trouble with his quarantine was that
the people made farce of it by fast
ening the muzzles SO loosely that the
dogs could still bite. Owing to this, and
to the fact that the new cases are con-
sidered exceptional by the city health
guardian, he is opposed to further
quarantine regulations. However, he is
investigating the matter today, and
will announce Monday whether q
new order is advisable.

Kentucky Editor Says That
This Course Is Only Way
to Settle Wilson-Harvey
War of Words.
NURSES CARBUNCLE
AT CAPITAL HOTEL
So He Cannot Call on Sena-
tor Tillman, but He Would|
Like to Have that Worthy
Call Upon Him.
(National News Association)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Col. Hen
ry Watterson today suggested a court
of honor as the best means Of settling
the SHarvey-Wilson-Wat contro-
versy. He gave out the following
statement:
"In my letter to Senator Tillman
offered to furnish him proof Of any dis
puted statements made by me. II SEN
ator Tillman will do me the honor per-
sonally to call upon me. as l am con-
fined to my hotel and cannot personal
ly call upon him, 1 will furnish him
proof, not only that had authorization
to raise money for the Wilson cam
paign. but that l did raise consider
able sum.
"In case Senator Tillman's aver
ment, after inspecting this proof, be
equivocal or insufficient l propose that
Governor Wilson name two friends.

and this court of settlement thus es-
tablished determine the issue between

Il must insist that this be done at
once, as I must leave Washington
Tuesday night to fill important engage
ments"
He "Has the Goods"
With this statement Mr.. Watterson

up and exhibit to the court He stands
ready to display them at once. The
statement was made when the doughty
colonel was shown Wilson's statement
denying that Watterson was authoriz-
ed to solicit funds, to which Thomas
F. Ryan was said to have subscribed.
II never yet entered public contro-
versy that did not come out with col
ors flying, and when I make a serious
public statement, such as this, l have
proof to back it up," said the colonel.
The picturesque plan of gentleman's
court is regarded as typically Waiter
sonian.
With his head wrapped in bandages,
nursing a pet carbuncle on his brow,
twisting his white locks into a bellig-
erent pompadour Mr.. Watterson gave
out his challenge.
Senator Tillman when shown Col.
Watterson's statement said that he
had nothing to add to his statement
Of last night Il have no issue to settle

$500 IS NEEDED
TO FINISH WORK
Y. M. G.. A. Workers Show
Much Enthusiasm as the
Campaign Nears End.

With subscriptions placing the fund
within $500 of the hoped-for $4,000
mark, reports of the Y NJ. c.. A. H.
nancial campaign workers at luncheon
this noon showed that the rival squads
captained by Howard A. Dill and Ar
thur L. Smith, had tied for premier
honors, each Of the two securing sub
scriptions amounting to $455 The re-
ports this noon were featured by the
securing of 141 subscriptions, the
largest number SO far for single day.
BY again overwhelming the citi-
zens' committee, Charles Jordan's 8
business mems squad gained its fifth
victory in the daily on
slaught, and placed its total collection
beyond $4,000.
All but three of Jordan's divisions
have reached $1,000, while but two of
the rival force are in that position.
Howard Dill and his workers, known
as "Dill's Pickles." were the heroes of
the engagement today, for they Sc
cured thirteen subscriptions, and, by
tying with Division E for high hpnors,
went into the "$2,O class"
The $50 workers, although realizing
that they are down to the last mo.
ments, were hopeful today, and assur-
ances of the campaigns success were
repeated. You don't realize what

A. new STREET OIL
HAILED As PARAGON
Board of Works Considers
Plan of Using white"
Oil On Highways.

A proposition for oiling the streets
Of the city by local men at reduced
expense, and with a better class of oil
which will not soil the clothes nor
lubricate the street car tracks, was
unfolded to the mayor and the city
authorities Thursday when a repre-
sentative of the Prime White" Road
Oil company of Cincinnati called at
the city building and left sample Of
the oil he proposes to introduce here.
The new oil is white, is odorless, and
is SO thin that it can be applied by an
ordinary sprinkling wagon, and it is
claimed that it can be applied for
about two-thirds the cost OF the black
oil, which caused the housewives OF
the city SO much trouble last fall. 1t
is claimed that directly after the oil In
applied to the street, it can be opened
for travel. That it. will not soil shoes
or clothing, that 1t will not injure car.
pets and furniture and that because
OF its non-lubricating properties it will
not cause trouble to the street cars
when sprinkled over the tracks.
The old rates for applying the black
Oil were four cents per lineal foot, ex
tending from one gutter to the center
of the street but the new oil will make
a reduction in these rates it is claim
ed. 1t is also proposed to give some
local man an opportunity to secure
the contract and agency for the oil
who can apply it with an ordinary
sprinkling wagon.
The members Of the board Of works
or the city authorities have not taken
any action. on the proposition Is yet
but announce that they will probably
do 10 at the next meeting Of the board

and tentatively agreed to support the

speech on the bill. The steel measure
IL not unlike the Cummins bill, which
was fathered by the insurgent stna-
tors last year, and which passed the
house and senate only to be vetoed by
the president.
Noting the similarity to the Cum
minis bill the house insurgents have
fallen into line behind the Democratic
steel bill and practically all of them
will vote for it. Democratic leaders
were pleased over the outlook today
and the insurgents, taking the ground
that the Payne rates are too high, are
willing to support Democratic bills IL
they bring about reduction.
