SIZED FIRE.

Lighting fire to keep himself
warm, tramp early this morning de-
serted a small brick building in the
rear OF the Richmond Virginian at

slight.
While answering the call Captain
Chasie, of No. company, slid down

Kessler was running to his horse and
passed beneath the pole just as Cap
tain Chasie came down. His injuries.

POLICE FORCE IS
TO Be INSPECTED.
PARADE OF DEPARTMENT NEXT
WEDNESDAY is TO BE
HEADED BY BAND.

The annual autumn inspection OF
the Richmond police force will be
held Wednesday afternoon, the pa
rade to begin about O'Clock at Eigh-
teenth and Franklin streets, while the
work of inspection OF enc three sta
tions will begin at o'clock. The ar
rangements have not yet been COM
pleted, nor has the line Of march yet
been mapped out, though the force
will probably traverse a part of Main
street and march down Broad street
to the City hall. The inspection will
be held on the Capitol street side of
the City hall
All the men will be dressed in full
winter uniform, and several changes
in the equipment will be noticed. All
the patrolmen will wear caps. VINO n
have been exchanged for the discard
ed helmet for winter wear. The bicy-
Gle squads will wear long trousers and
puttees, this uniform being more suit
able for cold weather.
The parade will be headed by Major
Werner, behind whom viii follow tbs
mounted squad, in charge of Sergeant
r.. b. Sowen Next will come the
bicycle squads, in charge of Officer
Robert Bryant. The patrolmen VIII
follow in the order OF the stations TO
which they belong. 1t has not yet
been decided whether the commits
sioners and mayor viii accompany
the procession, or simply review and
inspect the men at the City hall 1t
Is probable. however. that band will
be employed for the parade.
The department IS now in better
condition than II ever was. The per-
sonnet of the body Is being improved
by the strict mental and physical ex-
aminations which applicants must
pass before they can even be placed
on the eligible list. Promotions are
also made only by mental tests. The
department now has 163 men, three
stations, two automobile patrols, one
of which was but recently purchased,
full supply of wagons and hoises,
and a complete police telegraph sys-
tenn The board has decided to pur-
chase an automobile for the use OF
the chief OF police and general use
at headquarters. and the bids have
already been received.

No State Neglected.
Estimates of the popular vote can
not approach accuracy without tax
ing into consideration the difference
between this and preceding Demo
cratic campaign. Heretofore eff
forts have been confined TO a com
parativAly small number of doubtful
States. PENNSYLVANIA AMI SarmaHt,
for example. were neglected as hope
lessly Republican, and at the same
time great Dentpcratic States like
Texas and Georgia were not invaded
at all. because they were sure to be
found in the Democratic column.
This year the Democratic commit
tee has waged b determined and ac-
tive campaign in every State in the
republic. In the States that have
been consistently in the Democra-
tic Column the full vote is not gem
orally polled in the presidential cam
paign. But this year the committee
has urged Democrats in these States
to poll as large a vote as If the result
depended upon registering the full
Democratic strength.
Tt-ere is not a suggestion of
break in the Democratic column from
Texas to Maryland, and yet the cofnx
mittee has devoted more attention
than usual to these certain Democra-
tic States II has needed and has re-
ceiYed from the States larger sub ~
scriptions 10 the campaign funds than
ever before. Indeed the Southern
States had never before, except In
funds, This year most of them have
contributed literally, and Democra-
tic interest has been stimulated by
these popular subscriptions.
Democratic Sentiment Everywhere.
In the nominally Democratic States,
Wilson and Marshall will not only
hold the usual Democratic vote but
they will increase their popular vote
by a large proportion of Southern
Democrats, who heretofore have stay
ed at home because their votes were
not necessary for the party to win.
At the same time the fighting
ground in the North and West has
been swept with Democratic sentiment
and there the Wilson vote will be
larger than the Democratic vote Of
1908. while the Republican vote with

safe, sane, legal methods will seek
to remove these classes from the
temptation to seek the loan shark.
With this institution the wage
Garner and the salaried man may es-
tablish a line OF credit based on
city just as the big business concerns
establish a line OF credit with the
larger banking institutions.

20. That an inspection service be

to this commission violations OF tho

"a. That operating officials be tn-
structed to make fuller use of loco-
motives and cars by increasing tbs
speed of freight trains An average
movement of less than twenty-five
miles per car per day ia not adequate
to the need of time such as this. An

tarnount to an increase in equip
