MAYOR WANTS SHAFT
Erected at High Point by
Some Citizen.

A shaft $50 feet or 200 feet high will
be erected in this city, said Mayor
Zimmerman this morning, if he can
find wealthy man who wishes to have
permanent monument to his name,
standing where it will be seen by all
the visitors and citizens.
The mayor says a shaft should be err
ected in Glen Miller park al the end
of the car line where High Point hotel
formerly stood. He would have this
monument dedicated to the builder,
surmounted by his statue. There
would be an elevator and stairs inside,
and stairs outside, leading to sight
seeing balcony at the top.
The point in Glen Miller park is
the highest in the city but trees and
houses prevent any view from there
The mayors experience in climbing
the light plant stack suggested the
idea to him. He believes that he can
find some man or men who would con-
struct such a shaft and has already
taken the matter up, he says.

fall in Richmond, which were not solv-
ed by the police.
The Hall robbery was not made pub
lice by the police until today, the first
good clew TO tn solution OF the crime
being found by Chief Gormon less than
an hour before Davis was arrested.
The police chief was in the vicinity OF
Davis's home assisting the Camp
belistown, Ohio, officials in solving
robbery whichoccurred there several
days ago. After inquiring as TO the
Whereabouts of certain persons in that
neighborhood he was informed that
Davis was wearing a new suit of
clothes and showing other indications
of prosperity. Gormon Immediately
went to Davis's home and found him
there. He was arrested and told to
give up the stolen property. He imme-
diately confessed, telling the official
all the details OF the crime.
He Pawned One Suit.
The stolen property consisted of
LII * suns VI NtOIL1SS, AOdl sim ohAA -,
several pairs of socks. neckties. and a
pir OF white trousers. One of the suits
was pawned at a local pawnshop by
Davis. who gave his name as Earl
Brown. The police suspected that the
crime was committed by a well known
criminal named Brown who was re-
leased from Jail at Elwood. Ind, Tues
day.
Davis gave no reason to the author
tiles for his action. He has been given
every opportunity to make good since
his release from the reformatory. He
gained entrance to Halls store
through rear window by breaking in
the glass. The theft was committed

AN EXTRA SESSION
OF COUNCIL CALLED
Will Meet Tuesday Night to
Consider the Budget
Ordinance.

A special meeting of the city coun-
Gil has been called for Tuesday night
by Mayor Zimmerman for the purpose
of presenting for the first time the
budget ordinance. City Attorney Bond
and Controller McMahan have made
up the budget, the matter having been
arranged at several informal meetings
of the city officials.
The work of making up the ordi-
nance this year has been much more
difficult than in the past, as Richmond
will be third-class city after January
1, 1914. Cities of the third class are
governed differently than cities of the
fourth class in some minor details
There are several matters which are
almos impossible for this administra-
ton to decided in making up the bud
get, as the city election In November
may mean the installation of a new
staff of officiols, and the policy may
be changed.
In cities Of the third class the board
of works may either consit of the
mayor and two other members, as now
or may consist of three councilmen
who would receive extra compensa,
ton.
City Attorney Bond stated this
morning that the laws on third-class
cities are very complicated, and it is
almost impossible to ascertain the
limitations of city of that class
There are many amendments and re
visions of the law contradicted in many
places.
If the present administration re-
turns to office next year, there will
be little trouble in carrying out the
budget ordinance as it now stands. The
fact that this administration must
make allowances for what the next
administration may do, is what puz
zles the present corps of officials.

objects of no special intrinsic value,
but much priced on account of their
historical associations. Among these
was the old harpsichord which was
said to have been used by William of

England, and to which Clothilde had
evidently referred.
But why had the Princess Clothilde
selected this as the instrument on
which her infant charge was to play
the Dutch national anthem?
He resolved to examine the harpsi-
chord in order to determine whether it
could be reasonably associated with
the design of Clothilde. For that, de

the conspiracy, he entertained no
doubt whatever.

state coaches and a curious wooden
statue which, according to the printed

Clothilde must have been aware of his
own action in the matter of the at

relations with Tresham. She seemed
to read his thoughts.

strove to conceal his knowledge of it,
he could see that she knew.

came close to him and stood look
