were men, were in attendance and all
seemed very enthusiastic regarding
the outlook for the big affair. The
chairman of each committee reported
progress and was followed by ques-
tions from the workers and comments
by the Rev. Mr.. Honeywell.
D. S. Brown, speaking for the
finance committee said, I'VE have had
no difficulty in raising funds. Every
body gave us a cordial reception. In
some cases men were unable to sign
a note because of partnership obliga-
tions, but these offered money and
showed their interest otherwise. l may

beginning of this campaign for funds,

The Rev. Truman Kenworthy asked
that some explanation be made as to
the use of this money in order that
those charging the movement with
commercializing religion might be put

note for $1,000 which you have had
signed is merely a guarantee fund to
give your committees financial stand

in any of my campaigns had to call on
the guarantors to make good their
pledge. The money for all current ex-

not fear; we will easily be able to
raise it all.

UNABLE TO EMPLOY
SANITARY ENGINEER
City Cannot Garry Out Hur.
tvs Idea, Says DR..
Davis.

Under present conditions the idea
advanced yesterday by DR.. J. \. Hur-
ty, secretary of the state board of
health, that Richmond could material
ly improve the efficiency of her health
department., is a visionary one, accord
ing to Health Officer Davis.
DR.. Davis is corroborated by City
Attorney Bond in his contention that
the law of the state will not permit
the city to hire a sanitary engineer
at a salary of $500 a year to watch
over the health of the city.
The law specifically provides that
cities of the third class may not ex-
pend more than $500 for the heads of
their health department. The city
council would have no power to pass
an ordinance creating an Office of this
kind carrying with it the salary men
toned by DR., Hurry, according to
Dr. Davis
Would Benefit Town.
DR. Davis, however, is of the opin-
ion that an expert sanitarian giving
all his time to the matter of public
health. would be of material benefit
to the city, could one be obtained,
He believes that the correct way
to go about it would be TO have the
next Legislature amond the statute, by
inserting a provision that cities of any
class. may, if they see fit. employ an
assistant to the head of the board of
health at ,. salary TO be fixed by the
cities.
While at present 1t might be hard
to procure the services of a sanitary
engineer, it will be but a few years
until there will be a large number of
them turned out from eastern col
leges and universities. John Hopkins
university and the Boston School of
Technology each instituted depart
ments of this kind at the beginning OF

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2.-AssertinE
that there can be no peace in America
until President Huerta surrenders his
usurped authority. President Wilson in
an address to congress. delivered in
person today. declared that despite
that fact he did not believe the United
States would have to alter its policy
OF watchful waiting The president
said Huerta's power and prestige is
crumbling a little day by day. and the
collapse is not far away. With the
end of Huerta's regime, he said. he
hoped to see constitutional order re-
store in Mexico.
Besides pleading for the swift en-
actment into law OF the admiuisfra-
ton currency bill. the president told
congress that he believed the Sherman
antitrust law should stand unaltered.
but that congress should. as rapidly as
possible. enact legislation which would
clarity and make explicit that great
act" facilitate its administration and
make it fairer TO all concerned.
DispeIs Suspense.
This is the first expression of any
kind that has come from President
Wilson regarding the Sherman law.
Business men and financiers have
been waiting with a great deal of in
terest, not to say trepidation to learn
what the policy of the Wilson admin
istration was to be with regard to the
Sherman law. about which has arisen
so much confusion. The president to-
day said ii is of capital Importance
that the business men of the country
should be relieved of all uncertainties

Turning Basin in
Savannah Harbor
That Portion Of Fig Island Owned
by City of Savannah
To Be Used.

SAVANNAH, Sept. 2O.-While no
definite arrangements have beer
made regarding the construction OF
the proposed turning ba sin in Savan-
nah Harbor off Fig Island, a sugges-
ton has been made to Colonel Dan G..
Kingman. United States engineer, in
charge Of the Savannah district, by
the city officials that the basin be
made off that portion of the island
owned entirely by the city.
If the basin is built at the point
originally planned 1t VIII be necessary
TO excavate a part of Fig Island
owned by private individuals These
owners, II is understood. want $50, 900
for the land. The Government made
a tentative suggestion, through Colo
mel Kingman, that this land be coded
for the basin. and in return offered to
raise the balance of the island muCn
higher above the sea level thereby
enhancing the value Of the property.
