DISCOVER BODY AT
BOTTOM OF CANAL

While the canal was being dragged
yesterday afternoon in the belief that
the body of Henry Briel, who dis
appeared from his home, 25of Ken
sington avenue, last Saturday, might
be found, the body Of an unidentified
negro was found imbedded in the mud
AT the bottom of the canal at the foot
Of Twenty sixth street.
The body had been in the canal for
many weeks, Coroner Taylor believes,
for it was badly decomposed. and
every vestige which might have led
to Identification had been destroyed.
The body was that of a man about
forty-five years old After viewing IL,
Coroner Taylor turned the body over
to an undertaken.
No word has yet been received from
Mr. Rriel, and it is now generally be-
lieved that he is dead. He was about
eighty years old. He was retired
butcher, and was well and widely
known.

PLANS AUTO LINE

PROGRESSIVE FARMvILLE CITIZEN
SOLVES RAPID TRANSIT
PROBLEM.
READY IN 90 DAYS
FOUR PASSENGER AND TWO
FREIGHT CARS WILL BE USED
IN DAILY SERVICE BE-
TWEEN TWO CITIES.
READY IN 90 DAYS

An automobile line between Rich
mond and Farmvills LIS the very
latest wrinkle in the solution of Vir
ginia's rapid transit problem. This
is not the project of a dreamer. but
within the next sixty days will have
been an accomplished fact.
George M. Serpell, owner Of the
Prince Edward hotel at Farmvile,
and wealthy and progressive farmer
and citizen. is the originator of the
innovation. and is now negotiating for
four machines. of the bus" variety.
which will carry twenty passengers
each, and two express cars for freight
traffic. Mr.. Serpell hopes to close
the deal, receive the cars. and have
the line in operation by May LIST.
viii Give Fine Service.
The beauty of the contemplated ser
vice is that it will give farmers and
merchants along the line service
they have never enjoyed before, to
say nothing of the convenience af-
forded the travelling public. 1t is pro-
posed that the cars shall make daily
trips, both for passengers and freight.
stopping in front of each mans door
along the line
It Is hoped and expected by those
Interested that the line will be ex-
tended later on to Hampden- Sidney
and Abilene. a station on the Vir-
ginian railway. which would give
Farmville a connection long desired.
Man Who Does Things.
Mr.. Serpell is owner Of the Prince
Edward hotel. and, incidentally, is an
up-to-date farmer, maintaining
country home near town at which he
makes his home He has succeeded
in every enterprise which he has
launched thus far. and those who know
the man have every confidence in the
success of of his proposed venture.
Some work on the highways be-
tween Richmond and Farmville will
be necessary with the establishment
of this line. They are now in good
shape for traffic eight months in the
year. but show up to some disadvan-
tage in bad winter weather. To the
counties of Chesterfield, Powhatan and
Cumberland this new artery of trade
and traffic will prove of inestimable
value.

 blood between them' glory pc! III fact Donovan had returned to the ring after a long retirement, only to get a chance to satisfy his grUdge against the champion. DonoVan was then well advanced in years He had been old enough in the '60s to tote a gun in the civil war, and for twenty years thereafter he was active in the Tinp the hero of many long and bloody bare-fist engagements. Small wonder that, under such ctrcumstan- ces the a-1eet of the sporting WorI0 hoeked to Brooklyn to see the rookuS. When the hour for the fight arrived the arena was packed to the squeez- ipe .noint The battle was held off in earIy an hour to permit Nat Goodwin 4o reach the scene of action, the ac- tor having threatened all sorts or rue tfons if Donovan and Dempsey were permitted to fight out the scheouIeo six rounds before he could reach the scene of the obsequfes. And the crowd was not disappointed-not for a minute Those who had expected Dempsey to put it all over the ola
 man. sat up and took notice when the Professor ducked and lodged the champion's blows and landed many good ones of his own. The first round left nothing to choose, and in the second Mike had the shade. Demp- sev showed strong in the fourth, but in the fifth and final rounds 1t was nip and tuck, slam and dodge. Diff and feint with something doing every sec Fond, with both men using every ounce of strength and every trick or Eener- alship and science known to the game In the end the referee called it draw.

NEW HAVEN CHIEF. HAS CONFERENCE. WITH WALL ST.

New York, Nov. 15-Howard Elliott, chairman of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford Railroad. yesterday paid a visit to James B. Mabon, presi- dent of the New York Stock Exchange, in the Exchange itself. He was ac- companied by E. D. Robbins, general counsel of the railroad, and represent atives of the company's bankers. They discussed with MT. Mabon and other governors of the Exchange the conl- plications arising out of the repeated postponements of the date for termi- nation of the subscription to the new $67,OOO,0OO debenture issue of the rail- road, and afterward the following statement was issued:
 "A conference has been had be- tween the proper committee of the Exchange and the counsel and officials of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company and tt was decided that a continued post ponement of action regarding the clearance and settlement of New Ha ven rights will not prejudice the in terests of any one concerned.'
 MT. ElIiott's visit to the Exchange attracted much attention in Wall street. It was interpreted as meaning that he is determined to dQ all in his power to safeguard, the interests ot investors in New Haven stock an5 bonds. Old members of the Exchange said it was the first time that the head of so large a company had wis ited the Exchange for cooperative work in relation to it's securities.
 One of the governors said MT. El- Iiott's action was thoroughly justified in view of the importance of the ques- tions involved, and that it ought to be extremely reassuring as indicating there was no intention among the railroad officials of withdrawing the S67,OOO,OOO issue
 In the afternoon the Executive Committee of the New Haven road met at the Grand Central Station and appointed a physical valuation com mittee to act in conjunction with the federal authorities. The mem bers H. L. Ripley, engineer, and E. q. Buckland and H. H. Kochersperger, vice presidents of the company.
 MT. Elliott said the question of the next quarterly dividend on the com pany's stock would be taken up about December 10. Trade conditions in New England, he added, have shown irnproVem ent, which has been reflect ed in the railroads earnings for the first ten days of November
 At meetings of the directors of the Rhode Island Company, the Connec- ticut Company and the Central New aries of the New Haven, MT. Elliott was elected president of those cor porations.
