HIGH SCHOOL HAS
EMPLOYMENT BUREAU
Many Students Have Been
Helped to Positions in
Stores and Banks.

An employment bureau is in opera
tion at the high school and during the
past few weeks has been doing rush
ing business. E. r. Helman, head of
the commercial department, is con-
Quoting 1t and. with the cooperation of
the merchants of the city is obtaining
work for many high school students.
No charge is made for obtaining en-
ployment through the bureau and it
has opened up way for many school
children to earn extra money for
Christmas. with the demand for
clerks to work during the Christmas
rush, the local merchants are finding
it hard to secure competent help along
these lines, so the bureau is a help
to them as we'll as to the high school
students.
Mr.. Helman announced today that
the employment bureau will be per-
manent institution in the high school.
as he receives many calls for boys and
girls to do work in private families
during the entire school session. He
has secured positions for several
graduates from the commercial de-
partment in offices and banks in Rich
mond.

ORGANIZATION PLANS.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE national
committee of the Progressive party to-
day went into session to pass definite
ly on the plans presented at the nation
al conference yesterday for permanent
organization. The sessions of the COM
mittee were begun at the La Sale hotel
shortly before noon. 1t was expected
that they would frame resolutions en-
bodying the ideas of organization pre-
sented and that the executive COM
mittee would be empowered to go
organization forward along the lines
mapped out.
The resolutions, it was expected,
would urge the organization of dues
paying membership to carry on a ma
tion-wide campaign of education"
that is to begin at once. The educa-
tional campaign, it was expected,
would be carried forward through six
bureaus as suggested by Miss Jane
Adams in a plan submitted to the
conference yesterday and which was
greeted with approval by those who at
tended the sessions 1t was expected
also that the committee would adopt
specific plans for the work of organi-
zation in the various states, carried on
largely by the men who headed the
campaign that has just ended. A week
ly newspaper and possibly a monthly
to be the official organs of the party
are also to be established if the COM
mittee carries out the recommenda-
tions of the conference.
1t was expected also that series of
resolutions embodying the sentiments
of the conference would be presented.
These would pay especial tribute to
Col. Roosevelt, it was said, embody-
ing the remarks of B. Fay Mills yester-
day, in which he referred to the col
onel as the natural candidate of the
party in 1915. 1t was expected also
that the resolutions would urge the
colonel personally, and the party to
take even more advanced stand, re-
garding the judiciary than that indi-

.PLOTTERS AGAINST
WILSON APTUREO
Men Who Sent Black Hand
Letters to Be Arraigned
in Newark, N. ].
(National News Association)


NEWARK, N. J., Dec. 11.-Three
mountaineers who are being held here
today charged with being the authors
of several letters threatening Presi-
dent-elect Woodrow Wilson with death
unless he paid over $4,000 will be ar
faigned Monday before U. S. Commits
sioner Stockton. The men are Jacob
Dunn, aged 81; his brother Warren,
aged 33, and Seeley Davenport, aged
"a. The men were captured by ruse
after hunt of nearly three weeks in
one of the widest and most inacces-
sible places in the mountainous sec
ton of the state by secret service Off
GERS Larabee and Butler, and Deputy
u. S. Marshal Beekman. All their
letters were sent to Governor Wilson
at Trenton and were signed "P. J.
Shadunk, Rural Delivery 2, Box 43,
Wharton, N. j." The governors secre-
tary forwarded the letters to the post
office department and the government
machinery was put in motion. The
latters threatened to shoot Mr.. Will
son like President Mckinley and ex-
President Roosevelt. The desperados
submitted to arrest only after being
subdued at the point of revolvers.

OPPOSE ACTION OF
COMMERCIAL CLUB
South Side Assoc'n Wants
Location of Bridge De-
cided at Once.

Members of the South Side Improve.
ment association are not satisfied with
the action OF the Commercial club to
postpone the selection of the site OF
the proposed bridge over the White.
water river south of Main street.
A director of the association said to.
day that the association was not in
favor of having the bridge built at
this time if it would cost the county
more money and force the issuance OF
a heavy bond issue. He explained that
members of the association conferred
with the county commissioners mere.
ly to determine the location of the
bridge regardless of when it is built.
I'VE had the financial interest of the
county solely at heart when we made
the suggestion to the commissioners.
We asked that the site be selected at
this time because we were told by one
of the city officials that If the site
were selected now the city could use
the selected location for a dump and
gradually make the approaches to the
bridge by dumping material there. The
approaches of the bridge would in this
way be made and the expense would
be far less when the construction is
started"
THE South L street site was select
ed by the association because it Is the
farthest street south. Had this street
not been made we would have recon-
mended H street. 1t would be very
impractical to locate the bridge over
e street because of the approach OF
the C. & o. railroad. This location
would be a death trap, and We do be-
lieve that the commissioners will not
select this site"
Another member of the association
said: Wherever the commissioners
believe the bridge should be located.
let them decide now, SO that the
foundation may be made"
