REMOVE DAYTON CHILDREN
TO HOME OF FRIENDLESS

The third Dayton child, Dorothy.
aged 3 years, is now at Reid Memorial
hospital under treatment. When the
child was found she was quite i'll, but
had received no medical treatment,
the mother having been drunk two or
three days.
Patrolman Wenger stated today that
when he went to the Dayton home
last night and told Mrs. Maupin he
was going to take Willard and Daisy
away from her, the woman became
furious. The children at first appear
ed to be reluctant about accompany
ing the officer, but when he told them
that he was going to take them to
place where they would have a nice
place to sleep, plenty to eat and a
good time, their objections were i'm
mediately overcome.
Today these children who have been
brought up in the north end murder
house." were as happy and contented
as could be, eating like young wolves
and playing to their hearts content
Having been bathed and dressed in
fresh, clean clothing, they presented
an attractive appearance, especially
little Daisy, who is most winsome
young miss.

Identification.
(National News Association

JACKSON, Miss, July 22.-Thirty-
FIVE negro convicts sleeping on the sec
ond floor of a wooden cage at the Oak
ley convicts farm, southwest of here,
were burned to death at midnight.
Their bodies were burned beyond iden-
tification.
The fire started on the first floor at
the stairway landing, cutting off the
only avenue of escape.
The anguished screams of the suffer
ing prisoners could be heard for near
ly two miles and farmers in the vicin-
ity hurried to the scene but were un-
able to give assistance. Quantities of
hay, corn and molasses stored on the
lower floor caused the flames to spread
with great rapidity.

DIFFICULT MATTER
TO FRAME BUDGET
Matter Complicated BY Num-
erous Laws Passed
Recently.

The preparation of the 1914 city
budget this year will be very difficult
and complicated, City Controller Nc
Mahan states. because of the numer-
Gus laws affecting municipalities
passed by the legislature last winter.
Before estimates on appropriations
for various contemplated improve
ments can be made it will be neces-
sary to consult a number of laws bear
ing on such work. The fact that Rich
mond becomes a third class city next
year also further complicates the prep
aration of the budget. Nearly all city
officials will receive an increase in
salary by reason of this change.
Improvement work that l would
most like to see the city undertake
next year would be an extension of
North Fourth street from A to Main,
and the widening of North Third
street from the C. & o. station to
North D street" stated B. A. Kenne-
pohl, president of the board of public
works.
1AOSS lNO
TO be made within the next few years
any longer, so it might as well be un-
dertaken next year"
The extension of North Fourth
street from to Main would mean the
removal of four frame buildings and
two barns and would necessitate the
cutting of of the rear of brick house
fronting Fort Wayne avenue and the
cutting OF of a part of the Thistle
thwaite business block at the corner
of Fort Wayne avenue and Main
street Undoubtedly the damages re-
sulting from such an improvement
would be greatly in excess of the ben
efits and would. cost the city a round
sum of money.
The narrowness of North Third
street from the c. G. o. station to d
street is alleged to be dangerous to
traffic If widened the street would
be extended as far as the Kennepohl
business block on North D street.

the council will elect a member to
serve out the unexpired term.

DENOUNCED HUERTA
REGIME; DEMANDED
u S, INTERVENTION
Congressman Murray Intro

Resolution.
URSURPING MAURADER
(National News Association

WASHINGTON, July PA sensa-
tional resolution, demanding interven-
tion in Mexico within thirty days un-
less peace be restored, and denounc-
ing the Huerta regime as on of brute
force, incendiarism and murder" was
introduced in the house today by Rep
resentative William HI. Murray, Demo
crat of Oklahoma.
The resolution provides that, the
president shall notify Mexico that
peace must be restored and the lives
and property of American citizens and
all foreigners sojourning in Mexico
shall be protected. If disorder con-
tinues for thirty days the resolution
provides that the president shall in
tervene, establish peace and order
and civil government, and take posses
sion of all property of the former re-
public of Mexico and hold the same
until every item o. expense and all
damages for the depreciation of liberty
and for the destruction of property of
any American citizen or citizen of any
other nation has been fully compen-
stated out of the Mexican revenues
1t is also demanded that in the event
of Intervention the president is en-
powered to rehabilitate the Mexican
government, prepare the Mexicans for
self-government and restore law and
ORDER and the president is author
lied to use the land and naval forces
of the United States for the accom-
plishment of all such purposes"
Defends Monroe Doctrine.
The preamble of the resolution de-
fends the Monroe doctrine and asserts
that the United States is in duty bound
to protect it's citizens in Mexico as
well as the citizens of other nations,
the refusal of this country to carry
out the Monroe doctrine, the resolu-
tiOn says, might justify foreign inter-
vention
Mr.. Murray's resolution referred to
President Huerta as "the usurping
marauders."
"Huerta,' the resolution recites
has nullified the constitution. de-
stroyed all lawful authority and gov
ernment, and has committed upon the
persons of the president (Madero) and
his family black-handed murder, par
alleled in all history only by the pusil-
luminous cruelty of the dark ages
with all it's superstitions and bastard
ly deeds of rapine and murder.
Warns Mexicans.
There remains in Mexico neither
right of government nor of belligerant
power such as could be recognized"
continues the resolution.
After warning the Mexican govern
ment to restore order and protect the
lives of Americans, it is stipulated that
this government shall pursue to the
end of the earth any military leader

BILL IN ADDRESS
Utah Standpat Statesman
Objects to Long Free List
of the Measure.
PLEADS FOR FARMER
(National News Association

WASHINGTON, July 22.-When the
senate met today the tariff debate was
resumed and Senator Smoot of Utah
completed the address which he be-
action of the democrats in placing
meats, cattle, hides, wool, etc, on the
free list, declaring that such action is
only playing into the hands of the beef
barons and throttling competition.
The importation of meats and cattle
free of duty, he said, will give tre-
mendous advantage to Canada, Mexico
and Argentine at the expense of the
American farmer.
Senator Smoot argued that the chief
advocates of the low rates of tariff
both before the house and the senate
have been the importers. Of reduced
duties upon automobiles, Senator
Smoot said:

turers should have any consideration
wha ever in fixing this or any other
duty is beyond the comprehension of
any fair-minded American citizen. But
they figure very extensively in this fix
ing of the rates in automobiles, occu-
plying many pages of the hearings, and
filing threats, which if made elsewhere
by Americans, would be considered in
solent
He asked that the Italian chamber
of commerce in New York had asked
merely for a reduction of five percent
on automobiles but that the democrats
had conceded Is percent.
In the cotton schedule, Senator
Smoot insisted that the Northern man.
ufacturers had been Disseminated
against and the Southern producers
had been favored. The Northern man.
ufacturers make the finer grades of
goods, he said. He declared that Am
erican mill workers must compete with
the cheap Asiatic labor of Japan in
manufacturing cotton goods.
l. American clock and watch manufac-
turers, manufacturers of window glass
of pottery and of gloves, all are treat
ed harshly by the proposed law, said
Senator Smoot. The action of the
democrats. he said. meant the loss of
work to thousands employed in these
industries.
The first industries to suffer from
this bill will not be the great trusts,
but the important manufacturers hav-
ing small capital and making goods
requiring the highest type of workman
ship" he said.

Immediately after the accident the
city ambulance was summoned. but on
its arrival the driver refused TO take

he started to enter the store he heard
something crash against the large sign

Cole leaped into the doorway just as
