$4,000 DAMAGES
ASKED FROM CITY
A. H. Bartel Company Files
Suit-Echo of Big Storm
Last Summer.

On the allegation that the city of
Richmond had been negligent by not
constructing larger sewers, the Adam
Fl. Bartel company this morning filed
suit against the city of Richmond, de-
manding $4,000 damages. The plant
iff alleges that on August of last
year, on the day in which a big rain
storm visited Richmond. the North
e street sewer, because of being too
small, was flooded, the water cover
ing the street and flowing into the
basement of the Bartel company, dam
aging all of the dry goods, ETC. in the
basement.
The complaint alleges that the city
constructed the sewer twenty-five
years ago, and that it is by far too
small; that the city permitted it's
street department to connect lateral
sewers and drains to-, the North E
street sewer, thereby making it carry
all of the water and drainage between
Seventh and Sixteenth streets, from
Main to North E streets.

A UNIQUE RULING
IN DIVORCE TRIAL
Mr.. and Mrs. Winter to Re-
main Married to Prevent
Spreading Trouble.

After hearing the pretty-nineteen-
year-old girl-wife of Grover Winters
testify that her husband had beat her,
had thrown knives, plates and other
missiles at her, threatened to Kill her
and had also thrown her into the
canal at Cambridge City, and after
the husband had admitted the great
er part of the plaintiffs testimony
was true, Judge Fox, of the Wayne
circuit this morning refused to grant
divorce decree to Jeanette Win
ters.
Il will refuse a Decree" said the
judge, because l do not want you
two to make other persons lives mis-
cradle"
The plaintiff declared that her hus-
band made good money, but that he
refused to support her and would do
everything in his power to make her
life miserable.
The defendant declared that he
could not live with his wife again,
after the separation last year, and
that he had married her only to keep
her from being sent to the Indiana
Girls Reform school. He declared
that she left him once, going 10 New
Castle, and that she had been con-
fined in Jail for four days in that city,
although he did not know upon what
charges she had been arrested.
Young Mrs. Winters was married at
the age of fifteen. Her husband was
eighteen years of age when married.
Judge Fox granted a divorce to
Nellie Lewis from Paul Lewis. The
plaintiff charged abandonment, saying
and that she has not seen him or
heard from him since.
Charging cruel and inhuman treat
ment, Myrtle l.. Harper this morning
filed suit for divorce from William L..
Harper. They were married Febru-
ary, 1906, and separated September,
1911. The complaint reads that the
defendants treatment caused the
plaintiff great sorrow and mental dis
tress and injury to her physical
health"

divorce against Jessie Benson, alleg-
ing abandonment. The complaint
says that they were married Decem-
ber 20, 1904, and separated May, 1905.

BOLD THIEF TOOK
THE MAYORS NAG
DR.. Zimmerman Finds Ami
NAL Missing After Leav-
ing House at Chester.

Some one stole the mayors pet driv-
ing horse last evening, taking it from
in front of a house at Chester. The
doctor went into the house and left his
horse tied in front while he attended
to an emergency call. When he came
out ten minutes later the horse was
gone.
Mayor Zimmerman telephoned the
chief of police and all the men were
instructed TO be on the lookout An
hour later Officer Wenger found the
horse north OF the city. tied to a fence
where the thief had evidently left it.
Wenger had secuted about on his mo-
torcycle until he located the horse.
Mayor Zimmerman secured an auto
mobile and visited all small surround
ing towns in an effort TO locate the
thief, but was unsuccessful
The horse was a valuable riding an
imal, worth about $500. II is thought
possible the thief became alarmed
when he neared Richmond, so he tied
the horse to a pole on the Chester
pike, just north of the city.

PASS z RESOLUTIONS
Praise Aftermath, Bil!boards
Are Condemned.

Two resolutions were passed last ev-
ening at the meeting of the West
Richmond Improvement association;
one condemning the property of adver-
tising on billboards and the other
praising the work done by the After
math Society in establishing a clean
ing up day. Both resolutions were
passed unanimously.
The first resolution recommended
that the merchants, business men and
manufacturers refrain from using the
billboards because it is Objectionable
to the citizens of West Richmond.
The resolution was as follows: Re
solver, that it is the sense of this as
sociation that we condemn the propri-
ETY. of advertising on billboards on va
cant lots of West Richmond and would
recommend to the merchants. business
men. manufacturers, jobbers and re-
tail men that they refrain from using
them for advertising purposes upon
the ground that 1t is Objectionable to
the citizens of this community. 1t is
detrimental to the interest of educa-
uon, children upon seeing advertise
ments on these billboards that are not
in line with good principles taught
them at the schools, because of the OBJ
jectionable advertising and display of
business which is Objectionable on
moral grounds"
Following is the resolution commen-
ding the action of the Aftermath Soci-
ETY.: Resolved. that the West Rich
mond Improvement association. by it's
secretary express to the Aftermath So
eiety our hearty appreciation of their
good work, known as cleaning up day,
May 8. 1912. We wish to congratulate
you on your efforts of 1911 and express
TO you our best wishes for your sue
cess this year and that we are with
you in this movement in every posi-
bic way. This association desires to
donate you s5 to assist you and with
best wishes for your success"
Nothing else of any general interest
or importance was done at the meet
ing last evening.

NEW YORK, April 20.-The most
sensational development of the inves-
tigation being conducted by the Unit
ed States Senate committee developed
today when Sen. Smith. the chairman
revealed that the committee has in it's
possession a telegram sent out by the
White Star line Monday announcing
that all the passengers of the Titanic
had been saved. The telegram was
read to Harold Cottam. wireless opera
tor of the Carpathia while he was on
the witness stand. This was as fol-
lows:

Cottam swore that he had never
sent or received any message announc-
ing the safety of the Titanic From
Cottam's testimony il was learned that
a message bearing news of the loss of
the Titanic was transmitted to the
Baltic of the White Star line at 1875
Monday morning. The essential value
of all this testimony was apparently
that the White Star line was sending
kilograms assuring relatives of the
safety of all passengers after the wire

sent to vessel of its own line. The
time the message reached New York.
was a point the committee sought to
uncover.
Cottam declared that he had been in
charge of the instruments and was
fully responsible for them. He said
he was certain no message had been
sent to the effect that the Titanic was
afloat and was being towed to Halifax
with all passengers safe. He first
heard the report that such a wireless
, had been sent when he reached New
York. He said that after he had dis
embarked from the Carpathia some
one on the Cunard pier asked him
about il.
Were you asked about this message
by Mr.. Isrnay or any officer of the Car
pathia?" asked Senator Smith.
No

NEW YORK, April 2o.-Harold S.
Bride, second wireless operator of the
liner Titanic, testified today for the
senate committee investigating the
loss of the White Star liner that more
than six hours before the vessel
struck warning had been received that
there were icebergs in the vicinity He
received message and later cemmu-
nicated it to the officer on the bridge.
1t was then 5 O'Clock Sunday after
noon. The vessel struck at 1875 D. m.
was aboard but did not recall having
seen him. The only messages that he
remembered Ismay had sent from the
ship related to the Titanic's speed
trials before leaving Southampton
The Titanic was warned that there
were three big icebergs near her
course more than six hours before she
struck, Bride admitted. The warning
was sent by the California. He ignor-
ed the message for half an hour he
said because he was busy making up
his accounts and did not take it until
the Baltic had picked up the Calfor-
nian and taken the latters ice report
The officer he handed the message
to was not Captain Smith, and he was
not sure whether it was the first Off
Ger or one of the others.
Bride said that after the vessel
struck the first reply to the G @ D
calls came from the North German
Lloyd liner Frankfort. After answering
the signal the Frankfort asked,
what's the matter" Phillips replied,
Bride, stated, stand aside, you're a
fool" Bride said Phillips was rebuking
the Frankfort operator for interrupt
ing Communication with all ships in
range. He explained the Frankfort
made this difficult by asking ques-
tions
WAS CLOSEST SHIP. -.
Asked whether the Frankfort was
closer than any other ship Bride re-
piled "yes, Phillips said the Frankfort
was nearest. Phillips said he was try
ing to get the Frankfort to come up
to our assistance. He told me that he
ought to let us know that they were
coming, but we never heard from them
again after Phillips called down the
operator for interfering with his
questions" Bride seemed to feel very
strongly about the actions of the
Frankfort. I'VE never heard from
them" he repeated bitterly, but we
expressed our opinion fthem 1t was
a very critical time and we thought
the Frankfort's operator ought to have
realized this. BY the time the Frank
fort asked what was the trouble Phil
lips and began to realize our perdica-
ment. That's why we told the Frank
fort to keep out and not break our
communication
Sen. Smith wanted to know why
Bride had not replied to the Frank
fort that the Titanic was sinking and
that the lives of all on board were in
danger. "The operator on the Frank
fort, if he had known his business,
would have taken C Q D as sufficient.
