ATHENAEA PROJECT
INVALID, SAYS BOND
Club Seeks Piping of Water
to All Houses of
the City.

City Attorney Bond said today that
he had informed Mrs. Robert Randle,
a member of the Athenea club. one
of the leading women's organizations
of the city. that an ordinance which
the club is advocating. to require the
piping of all houses for water, prob
ably would be invalid if tested in the
courts.
Mr.. Bond said that the object of the
club women to secure better sanitation
was a movement which deserved much
encouragement. and that he would as
sist its members TO the best of his
ability. He said that while their plan
to improve sanitary conditions by re-
quiring the piping of all houses for
water was probably not a feasible one,
he was of the opinion that there was
an indirect way to secure the desired
reform. but that he had not made a
thorough investigation of the legal
phases involved.
If he finds that the city has the
authority to do so, he will suggest to
lue CIup WOMEN LAdl tues Cooperate
with him in the drafting of an or
dinance declaring all wells a public
nuisance and a menace 10 the pub
lie health.
Mrs. Randle said that various dom
ems clubs were now cooperating with
the Athenea club to improve the san
itary conditions of the city. and that
the plan Of drafting an ordinance
bringing about such reforms was un-
der consideration.

MAY ADD I SALOONS
TO RICHMOND LIST
Population Ratio Based on
Election Returns Per-
mits SO.
APPLICATIONS READY
Five Applicants Prepare to
Ask Commissioners For
Liquor Licenses.
APPLICATIONS READY

Richmond is now entitled to fifty
nine saloons, seven more than when
the county commissioners in 1909 es-
tablished the rate of one saloon for
each five hundred population in Wayne
The fact that seven more saloons
can be established in this city was
brought to light by the report that
four or five persons were planning to
enter this business soon, and that ap-
plicattons were ready for filing in the
auditors Office
Under the law governing the rum-
Der of saloons which can be establish
ed in such communities that are wet"
it is provided that the county com
missioners can established the ratio
of saloons per population, and that
the population is to be figured by
multiplying the total vote cast at the
last general election by five.
At the general election of 1912 a
total of 1856 votes was cast in Rich
mond for the presidential candidates. q
little less than the vote cast for the
mayoralty candidates last November
On the basis of five people to each
qualified voter. the 1912 election re
turns would show Richmond to have
a population of 29,7S0. The ratio il
this county being one saloon to each
500 people, the number of saloons
which can now be located in Richmond
is determined by dividing the estim
ated population, 29.7S0, by 500. which
gives this city f1fty-nine saloons.

DOCTORS IN
CONSULTATION NOW
G.. o. p. National Committee
May Make Reforms With
out Any Convention.
TO BE A LIVELY FIGHT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16-That the
Republican National Committee would
not issue a call for special national
convention of the party but would it
self assume authority TO change the
basis of representation in national
conventions and submit the same to
the various state conventions for rati-
fication was understood to have been
practically decided on before the ma
tional committee went into session
this morning.
The committee met here today in the
most important conference held since
the Civil War. A plan to call an extra
ordinary convention to rehabilitate the
party was discussed and IL is believed
the opponents and proponents OF the
plan will have the hottest fight which
ever marked committee session.
A sub committee has considered the
following resolutions:
Two Resolutions Up.
First, that a special convention be
called to pass upon the reduction of
representation in the south and other
matters.
Second. that no special convention
be held, but that instead the reduction
of southern representation be held to
referendum NOtt vi tOhN
tions.
Southern Republicans, lead by Com
mitteeman Martin of Virginia oppes-
ed the calling of special convention.
but many northern state committee
men declared in favor of IL.
There is trouble ahead IL we call a
convention now" said Committeeman
Maxson of Nebraska.
Senator Borah said: Regardless OF
the convention issue the national COM
mittee must declare in favor of re
apportionment and for primary elected
delegates as we'll as a reconstructed
party"
Il am in favor of the committee TAX
ing some action changing the repre-
sentation in the national convention
in order TO bring harmony said Sen
ator Penrose of Pennsylvania.
Armsby McHarg, who rounded up
the Roosevelt delegates from the
south before the Chicago convention,
asked permission to appear before the
committee to urge that a convention
be postponed.

time this year. unless emergencies
provoke a session. supplied sarcastic
appreciation by voting down the exec

liam II. Middleton. building inspector.
1t was a cruel blow To the doctor but
not the hghteSt he has suffered since
the city election
The mayor was in a truly remin-
iscent mood last night, and the large
and fragrant bouquets of self-adula.
tion he threw at his administration
were not in the least boastful. for the
doctor is well known as modest
man. especially regarding his own
achievements.
What . Did"
There was nothing in his farewell
speech that citizens have not heard
often at banquets and entertainments
where the mayor spoke The old, old
story. What | Did" was retold. while
the city fathers closed their eyes and
dropped into sleep until the fnaI amen
and halleluja had been said
or course, the mayor could not over
look chance TO compliment the city
newspapers. Here's what he said:
The newspapers are liars; they can
not tell the truth" II was noted that
the reporters at the press table did
NOT even make note OF the sally.
for they have heard il so often that
they really have come TO believe that
they are the real charter members of
the Ananias club
What ! Did," Some More.
Lest the doctor accuse the press OF
suppressing news. the following is an
excerpt of the laudatory address given
in honor of himself:
While ! have been mayor. inter
urbans have been brought to this city.
While | was mayor, I got a new
federal building.
while | was mayor. the morals of
the city have been improved.
While I was mayor. We got the C.

While | was mayor. the PennsyI-
vania built new station.
While | was mayor. the street car
tracks were removed from Glen Mil

While I was mayor etc, etc. etc. "

A SAL VAT|ON ARMY
STRUCTURE BURNED
Twenty People in Cincinnati
Lodging House Are Re-
ported Missing.
2 BODIES ARE FOUND

CINCINNATI, Dec. 16-Although
twenty persons were still unaccount-
ed for, but two bodies, those of Man
ager Sundell and Thomas Shoddell,
have been recovered from the ruins
of the Salvation Army Home for Needy
Men, which was gutted by fire, of sup
posedly incendiary origin, last night
Eight of the injured are in serious
condition.
Fred Meyers. a man who had been
refused admittance 70 the lodging
house and had made threats of re-
venge, was arrested on suspicion.
The blaze was discovered by Wallie
Mayer, a member of the Chicago Am
erican League baseball club, who risk
ed his life in saving eight children in
a smoke-filed tenement house next
door, to which the flames had com
municated
At 2 o'clock, the refugees who had
been sent scantily clad to nearby
houses, were counted. OF the 1873 who
had been in the building, only rs could
be accounted for at that time. II
was thought possible that some OF
the missing escaped, but the police
said that the smoke was so thick soon
after the blaze was discovered and
the alarm sounded that likely a mum
bers will be found in the wreckage
The basement of the building was
used for stabling twelve horses. All
of these periShed. There were also
rags and paper collected by the Sal
vation Army wagons to be sorted and
baled in the basement. This made
excellent fuel for the flames.
The first floor was used for a work
room and Offices. On the second floor
was the chapel dining room and H.
brary. The two upper floors were
used for dodgers.
The greatest loss OF life was ex
pected to be found on the upper floors
While the building was equipped with
fire escapes, the partitions were oi
light wood, which burned quickly and
likely cut off the possibility of many
a poor fellows escape.
