TO OPPOSE REQUEST
Kennepohl Thinks 1t Will FL
nancially Aid Company -

The request of Superintendent Dill
OF the Richmond City Water Works
that the water furnished in case of
fire through the automatic flushers in
business blocks be passed through a
meter and paid for, will not be granted
according to President Kennepohl of
the board of works. Mr. Dill made the
request on the grounds that the seal
on the flushers could be easily broken
and water stolen from the f1ushers
The flushers are installed In nearly
all the business blocks Of the city.
They are sealed with soft solder
which is so soft that it can be melted
by the heat of match and water
thrown about the building where the
flushers are installed
According to the president OF the
board this will aid the water works
company financially as it viii lessen
the amount of water used by the de-
partment and will stop the advance
nent of fire.

CAR TRACKS TO
Be MOVED IN ROAD
Commissioners Give Traction
Company Right to Move
to Middle of Road.

After thorough consideration the
county commissioners in a meeting.
which lasted until late yesterday af-
ternoon decided to grant the petition
of the Terre Haute, indianapolis and
Eastern Traction company and resi-
dents on the National Road east, to
move the street car tracks from the
south side of the road, to the middle,
from Twenty;third street to the old
fair groundsT
The work of removing the tracks
probably will not be attempted until
late in the spring. At any rate this mat
ter will be up to the officials of the
traction company and not to the coun-
ty as the present franchise which the
company holds gives the company the
power to determine just when such
matters are to be taken care of.
However. the company will not Of

BILE future objection was forestalled by
residents on the road by first placing
the matter before the company's off,

commissioners.
The petitioners believe that Rich
mond will soon annex the suburb to
the east and that the tracks will be
moved. sooner or later, to the middle
of the road. Residents on the south

RULING MAY SAVE
THE SHERMAN LAW
Those Who Feared 1t Too
Weak May Change Minds
Over u. P. Decision.
LONDON MARKET CALM
Decision of Supreme Court,
in Face, Boosted Rail-
road Stocks.
me .fona: Ncws Association

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The direct
effect of the United States supreme
court ordering a dissolution of the
Hartman merger of the Southern and
Union Pacific railroads was today de-
clared so sweeping that the advocates
of a change in the Sherman antitrust
law probably would curb their activi-
ties and not press at the present time
any campaign for an amendment to
the measure The decision was of such
strength that those who have feared
that the law was too weak after the
Tobacco and Oil trust decisions are
now wavering.
Lawyers who practice before the su-
preme court say that the decision will
be far reaching in it's general effect
upon the railroad situation. 1t fore
shadows the decree of the court in the
anthracite case in which the govern
ment alleges that the Reading Railroad
unlawfully acquired control Of the
Central Of New Jersey and that the
Erie violated the Sherman law by &C.
quiring control of competing coal
road running from New York harbor
to the anthracite fields. 1t may even
extend to some of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford acquisitions.
Among the members of congress
the decision is of great interest par
ticularly to those who have been try
ing to amend further the antitrust
laws. They infer from it that each
case of alleged illegal combination
will be held to stand on it's own bot
tom and the facts in each subject
shall decide whether it is a restraint
of competition.

A LONG DISTANCE
HIKER STROLLS IN
'Hooffng IT from New York to
San Francisco to Win
$4,000 for His Father.

Harry Danes, Wisconsins pride and
joy, is right here with US. He blew in
this morning from New Paris, and
with him came a military outfit that is
nifty. Khaki suit, cavalry nat, saw
age looking revolver and canvass leg
gings. Harry looks his part
He isn't a soldier of fortune. Not this
chap. He will leave Richmond tomor-
row for Indianapolis on his way from
New York to San Francisco to win a
$4,000 wager for his dad who lives
in the big city. If he succeeds in ne
gotiating the distance in record time.
$4,000 of the pile. he says, will be his.
Here's hoping. Harry!
Behind somewhere in Pennsylvania
is Walter Standow, ertswhile compan-
ion of the continental pedestrian.
Danes says Standow is "chickenheart-
ed" Standow got cold feet east of
Pittsburg. and decided that the flesh
pots of New York were more alluring
than prairie dogs in the great Ameri-
can desert.
Back in New Jersey lies a dog that
| started out with the outfit. THAT dog
did not have the nerve for the trip"
is Danes verdict on the canine. He
laid down and died for no reason"
So, unattended and alone. Danes is
hoofing it westward He says he'll get
there in record time. See the gun"
said he pointing to vicious looking
revolver. George r. Beecher. Colum-
bus merchant, gave me that popgun

Like countless other long distance
hikers, Danes has a register with him
Noteworthy mortals are permitted to
inscribe their names in il. Two repor-
ters got their John Hancock's in the
book today. They felt honored. and
Danes liked their penmanship.
But to come back to Harry Danes
says he worked on the farm. How he
got from a Wisconsin dairy farm to
New York matters not neither does il
boot farthing how he got the idea
of taking the jaunt. If dad gets the
$4,000. and Harry says he surely will,
papa's boy is getting the youngest
, sons share if he only makes $4,000 for
Iimpressing himself on all the weary
| miles between New York and San
Francisco. But he has the consolation
of seeing some mighty interesting see
merry, especially in level Kansas and
in dust and alkali covered Arizona and
New Mexico.
Harry looked fresh this morning and
was far from jaded when he strolled
into the Palladium Office. He is inspir-
ed with the promise of two pack mules
that are awaiting him on a western
ranch. MFR. Beecher is good sport.
He gave me the gun and cane. and

grub and water when We hit the des-

Harry was on the streets today Ev-
cry kid in town envied the smart look

hands full to dissuade youngsters from

Egypt to the Promised Land. Well.
Harry still has the wilderness ahead
of him. here's a pleasant journey, old
lchappie!

The press of Vienna contained a
great amount of comment today on
the speech of Herr Won Bethmann-
Hellweg. the German chancellor in the
reichstag yesterday when he declared
that Germany will draw her sword if
any of her allies are attacked. This
was agreed in a number of quarters
as an attempt to sooth Austria with
strong words rather than, a declara-
ton from the official spokesman of the
triple alliance as to the attitude of
that group.
While the matter of concluding a
general armistice between Turkey and
the allies was. hanging fire on account
of Greece's protests indications rose
to the surface that Roumania, the only
neutral Balkan state. may prove a big
factor in the fnal peace terms.

OBTAIN PORPHYRY
New York Official Must Get Paving Ma
terial from
Egypt.

New York, Nov. Park Commission
er Slower has been disappointed again
in his endeavors to get slabs of purple
porphyry for the pavement to be placed
around the base of the Bethesda foun-
tain in Central park. His first disap-
pointment in that direction was when
he sought TO purchase Caesars Bath
tub" purple porphyry antique, and
slice it up to make the desired paving
blocks. The bathtub, however, was not
purehasable for less than $1,000.
Incidentally, the commissioner had n
long talk with j. Pierpont Morgan on
the subject of bathtubs of the time of
Cesar. for the financier is said to have
one Of the Cesar tubs. Then the park
got on the track of por-
phyry quarries in Massachusetts. At least,
he heard they were such, but Sunday
he said museum officials in Boston had
told him the quaries had been misrepre-
Sented.

sioner. "even if | have to get some

New Rules to Reduce Cost of
Litigation
AND ELIMINATE DELAYS
Many Of Present Rules, Adopted so Years
Ago, 0bsolete-Will Reduce Briefs
and Records--Perhaps
Other Reforms.

Washington, Nov. 5.--Revolutionary
changes in procedure in equity cases
in federal courts throughout the United
States are effected in revised rules pro
mulgated yesterday by the supreme
court of the United States. The object
is to reduce the cost of litigation and
to eliminate delays.
The new rules were. announced BY Chief
Justice White from the bench One OF
the tasks undertaken by him when he
was appointed as chief justice was to
reform the procedure in the courts. He
first revised the rules of the supreme
court itself.
For IL months the chief Justice and
Justices Lurton and Vandevanter have
been working on the equity rules ms
subcommittee of the court. They
asked every federal Judge throughout
the country to get expressions from bar
associations on the subject and wrote
to many Others asking for suggestions.
These suggestions were digested by the
subcommittee, assisted by W. j. Hughes
of the department of justice The pres.
ent rules came down from the courts of
England with only one or two revisions
since the beginning OF the republic. The
last revision was made about fifty years
ago.
The chief justice particularly thanked
the lord chancellor of England for sug-
gestions in the revision.

DEATH MAY BREAK
HOUSE DEADLOCK
A Special Election Will Be Necessary
to Select Congressman Utter's
Successor.

Washington, Nov 5,--The death of
Representative Utter Republican, of
Rhode Island, was regarded by politi-
clans here yesterday as likely to lead to
break in the deadlock in the House
Of Representatives which now prevails,
and which might prevent it from choos-
ing a president in the event there is no
election by the electoral college.
Rhode Island is one of the "tie states"
in the House, having one Republican
congressman and one Democratic. If Ut
ter's seat is not filed or a Democrat is
seated in his place, Rhode Island. as II
state, would be in the Democrats list of
the House. There would then be 90
states voting as Democratic, % voting
as Republican and three still tied
twenty-five states are necessary to
choice Utter was candidate for re.
election, so that while political COM
mittee can select a successor to him for
the 63d Congress, special election of
some sort must be held to name a sue
cessor in the 62d Congress.
