amount of work they have accom-

Found Sore Spot
But 1t remained for Mr.. Anderson
to put his finger on ths sore spot He
started out by stating that he would
be brutally frank, not because he was
not deeply Interested In furtherlnS
good roads, but because he thought
1t best for the men gathered TO face
facts rather than dreams. 1t was his
opinion that the road between Rich
mond and Washington, as proposed
would cost $4,000. and he further be-
lieved that all OF this sum could be
raised. provided. however. that the at
tempt was made along bushes lines.
In business manner. by Il business
organization.
Believing all this. Mr Anderson sug-
gested the formation OF n corporation
to take In charge the work contem-
plated. Such corporation would
have n legal status, could provide for
raising the funds needed, for the dis
tr!bution of these funds. and for the
maintenance OF tho highway. once It
was built. Not until the meeting of
last Thursday was tho Importance OF
maintaining highways properly en-
phasized. Heretofore all or the talk
was orr building the road. Nor had
previous meetings been strong enough
upon the point OF building perma-
ncntly.
Tho proposition. MS expounded by the
new president. met with tho instant
approval OF certainly n large major
ity OF those present. Some objections
were raised. but they were OF minor
character as compared with the many
statements made In support OF the
plan. Should IT be the sense of tho
meeting Tuesday night 10 adopt the
plan proposed. then u called meeting
of the board o. directors and Vice
presidents OF the Virginia Division OF
the Quebec to-Miami Highway Asso-
citation will he called for the purpose

he really did things In the meeting,
and Roanoke has much to thank him
for.
Suffolk wanted game in That town
on May II, but the question was left
TO Norfolk and Danville. which will ba
playing at that time, the two clubs to
determine whether they wanted to

announced that Kirscher OF his crew,

Since the Paterson tourney. when
Tho Times Dispatch team made such
good showing, Richmond has como
to be u bowling centre of no small

Richmond as n place In which to hold

lack of alley accommodations. Since
that time the Palace Alleys, with
eleven alleys, has been built, and oven
Il larger building will be completed
shortly by other parties.

numerous cases against the trusts and

that the public did not ask, Where

1.-THE Third Degree"

Charles Klein. the author Of 1.-THE
Lion and the Mouse" is responsible
for THE Third Degree" his latest play,
which comes to the PiEney theater on
Wednesday and Thursday under the
management Of the United Play COM
pany.
This play deals with a number of
pre- eminent conditions that exist in
large cities. and IL is the purpose Of
Mr.. Klein. by means of this play. to
arouse sentiment in opposition, as he
did with The Lion and the Mouse" as
regards financial and political condi-
tons. The scenes are laid in New
York, the characters arc prominent in
the predominant social set. For the
first time in the history of the stage
in THE Third Degree" will be por-
trayed the methods of the New York
police department. which in many in
stances have rivalled the inquisition
for barbarity and cruelty. Mr. Klein
has handled the subject deity and
adroitlN In a most convincing manner
and as result this play should invite
II large attendance to the performance
at the Pinney.
