PLAN FOR
HANDLING GARBAGE
Board Favors System of Es-
tablishing Municipal Gar
bage Receptacles.

Orders will soon be issued by the
mayor to the citizens of Richmond, or
dering them to comply with the pro-
visions of one of the many dead or
dinances, which requires that all garb-
age and ash cans shall be placed on
the premises of the residents. No ash
cans or barrels will be tolerated on
the sidewalks or alleys. Places for the
accommodation of the receptacles
must be placed in a shed or entry in
the rear wall or yard of the occu-
pants premises.
This is but a preliminary step to a
general cleaning up of the city and
the probable installation of new sys-
tenn for handling garbage and ashes.
The new system, which was propos-
ed at the meeting of the board of
works this morning, is for the city to
erect large cement containers, two
to be placed in each alley for each
square. These containers will have two
receptacles, one for ashes and dry
garbage. and the other for wet garb-
age. The residents would carry the
refuse to these receptacles from their
homes. This would not necessitate the
individual property owners erecting
sheds or entries for their garbage con-
tainers. The city. would be able to re-
duce the number of men employed to
haul the refuse under this system as it
would only take half the time now re-
quired to do this work The sanitary
benefits of this system is also an argu-
ment in favor of this system. The
reeking. filthy alleys, caused by garb-
age being overturned in the alleys,
would be thing of the past.
Threaten Prosecutions.
Prosecutions will follow the refusal
or neglect of any one to obey the or
der issued by the board this morning
in regard to the provisions of the old
ordinance.
Several large cement manure boxes
will have to be removed by the owners
to comply with the ordinance. The po-
lice force, as usual, will be asked to
help the garbage and ash men in find
ing out the violators of the ordinance
relating to alleys.
Police Chief Gormon wants the
board to force the merchants to take
down all signs on the streets. The avn
ings are also too low. The police chief
states.
He wound up saying, that he did
not believe the city of Richmond was
so hard up it had to cell licenses to
gypsies to allow them to rob the resi-
dents and visitors of the city" This
was called forth by the occurrence of
last Saturday when man was robbed
of five dollars while having his for
tune told by gypsies.

IN BIBLE
Shown by Youngsters at the
Local Y. M. G. A.

A larger number OF the members of
the boys Bible classes at the Young
Mems Christian association last week
took the examination, prepared by the
International Bible Class committee.
than in any previous year. The total
number of youths taking the examina-
tion was 1877, which was 6S more than
in 1911.
Herbert Pettijohn, boys secretary
at the local association, stated today
that he expects ninety or more of the
examination papers sent in from the
Richmond association to be passed up
on favorably. He believes that Rich
mond, from present indications, will
secure first place in the highest grades
in the examination. Last year Rich
mond was among the ten highest in
the grades on the examination papers.
The questions were prepared by the
International committee in New York
City. The diplomas will not be sent un-
til about the first Of June.
Secretary Pettijohn declares that
during the past year and SO far this
year the attendance in the boys Bible
classes has far surpassed that of any
previous year.

LAW IS EXPL AIMED
TO THE INSPECTORS
Methods of Registration of
Voters in This County
Told in Detail.

In a talk to the inspectors of the
Wayne county board of registration at
a called meeting Saturday afternoon
at the court house, Republican County
Chairman, Robbins, urged them to
make every effort to get every Repub-
1ican voter in their respective pre-
cincts to register May 8. Chairman
Robbins declared that it is necessary
to get every Republican to register in
order that he may vote at the Novem-
ber election.
L. S. Bowman, county auditor, also
talked to the inspectors, explaining the
registration law and the duties of the
inspectors, as we'll as other matters
pertaining to this subject. He also read
letters which he had received from
the attorney general in regard to the
registration and corrupt practices act.
Paul Comstock and Will Bond ex-
planned the registration law from the
legal standpoint and answered all ques-
tions put to them by the inspectors.
The inspectors were informed that un-
less petition is presented to them by
at least five voters, asking that the
session be continued to two days, only
a one-day session will be held. In the
event that another petition is present
ed, three-day session of the registra-
tion beard this will be held.

WIRELESS COMPANY

Officers of Corporation Take
Stand in the Senate
Investigation.
tNatloual News Associationl

WASHINGTON, April zs.-The Mar
conf Wireless Telegraph company at
taches took the witness stand in the
senate investigation of the Titanic dis
aster today in an effort to clear the
company and it's employees of response
biiity in ignoring the request for news
and charges that information was held
up that operators might tell their stor-
les for private gain.
Mr. Marconi, himself, inventor of the
wireless telegraph, read several mes
sages sent from shore stations to the
operator on the Carpathia urging him
to give information. He admitted that.
while the operators had a precedent
for telling their stories for personal
gain, the practise should be discour-
aged However, he denied any re-
sponsibility for sending the messages
to the Carpathia operator instructing
them to keep silence upon the news of
the wreck.
by a sharp question from Senator
Smith as to why the operator should
have been too busy handling private
messages from passengers to answer
queries sent from shore when 1t was
shown that very few messages of any
kind were sent from the ship.
Manager Sammis of the Marconi
company declared that hundreds OF
messages were sent. Mr.. Marconi
was dismissed from the stand after he
had promised to submit in evidence
all the messages.
