$323 REALIZED BY
THE ASSOCIATION
Richmond May Festival Was
a Success in Every
Particular.

The sum of 1929 IS was turned over
to r. c. Wilson, treasurer of the Rich
rhond Symphony orchestra, by the
Richmond Musical association, which
was the excess of the receipts of the
festival held May % and % at the
Coliseum.
This was the most important enter
prise as we'll as the first one under
taken by an organization of this kind
in Richmond. 1t was equal in success
to the former May festivals.
The total receipts of the concerts
amounted to s71910; the disburse-
ments S395.42. Some expenses which
were incurred by the organization
which received the money have not
yet been met. These will be paid
from the funds received from the mu-
sicale
AS a result of the successful must
Gale given by the members of the
Richmond Symphony orchestra, the
High School orchestra and those who
took part in the various choruses in
the festival, the following resolution
was passed at the meeting of the di-
rectors:
Resolved, That the board of direc-
tors of the Richmond Musical associa-
ton. under whose auspices the May
concerts were given. does hereby ex-
press its thanks and appreciation for
the faithful and conscientious work of
each member of the Richmond Sym
phony orchestra during the long Sc
ries of rehearsals, which resulted in
the artistic climax at the Coliseum on
the evening of May %. We feel GER
tain that you have fully sustained the
reputation of our fair city as a re-
markable musical center.
I'VE also earnestly urge you to hold
in tact your organization for future
conquests. While this board can not
presume to speak for it's successors in
Office, it does feel sure that the orches-
ira will have the moral as we'll as the
financial support of this organization
for any of it's future endeavors for the
musical advancement of this COM
munity.'

After having been before council at
various times for two years, the build
ing code was passed last, night. There
was but one dissenting vote. The
code will be published intbooklet form
and will be effective January l,
1914. Lower insurance rates have
been assured.
The building code was fathered by
the committee from the Commercial
Club 1t is the result of more than
two years work on the part of the
clubs committee.
hIn the code, the material, the proper
tfon of size and strength of one mater
ial to another used in the erection
of structure, and all other things
relative to the erection of buildings
are set out specifically, in order that
all buildings hereafter erected may be
as safe as possible.
1t is believed that the code will
prove protection to workingmen who
buy houses. Hereafter all buildings
must be subject to the approval of the
building inspector, who will visit
houses in the course of erection every
day in order to see that good material
is used
The code as it now stands has been
before council for two months. Four
extra meetings of council were held to
read over sections of the code and to
make changes.
1t is not believed by members of
council that the building code will in
flict any hardship on any class of peo-
pie. At first this idea caused num-
Der to state that they were opposed to
the code. 1t is said that within the
past two years, many houses have
been erected which would not pass the
inspection of a building inspector.
The building code was examined by
an expert from New York city before
the action of council was taken on it
and it was pronounced excellent.
In the code fire precautions are in
Guided. The fire limits include all the
territory east of the Whitewater river
to Sixteenth street and from North F
street to South A street.
The office of building inspector as
established in the code is believed to
be one of it's best features. The sal
airy shall not exceed $1,000 per year.
The inspector will be appointed by the
board of works.

WILSON NOT AFRAID
Of Possibility of Launching
a Clark Boom.
(National News Association)

(Nationa1 News Association)
WASHINGTON, June 3.-Rep. Lloyd
of Missouri, probably will continue as
chairman of the congressional commit
tee, though he stated that he was not
candidate for reelection for another
full term 1t is known, however, that
he probably will accept reelection
if it is rendered to him. Congressman
were as much puzzled today as ever
over the failure of Rep. Ben Johnson
to accept unanimous election to sue
coed Lloyd as chairman. 1t was gener-
ally accepted that Johnson had been
informed that the president did not
desire his election and that Johnson
decided to retire in favor of some 9th
err candidate. Friends of President
Wilson insister that the presidents OPP
position to Johnson was not based on
his fear that if Johnson were chosen
an effort will be made to take control
of the machinery Of congressional COM
mittees to aid a possible boom for
Speaker Clark in 1916.

MCARTY LEFT ONLY
VERY SMALL ESTATE
(Nationa1 News Association

SPRINGFIELD, Mo, June 3-Esti-
mates of the amount of the estate left
by Luther McCarty, pugilist who was
killed on May "a in the prize ring at
Calgary, made today by Billy McCar-
ney, former manager of McCarty,
puts it at $4,000, which is only half
of the most conservative estimate
made heretofore. McCarty in the past
two years is said to have earned $780,
900 in the ring and on the stage.
Mccartney is here with McCarty's
widow, who will get the bulk of the
estate, although McCarty had not lived
with her for some time, and contrib
uted but little for her support, she
having been forced to wash dishes in a
restaurant.

UNABLE To SECURE
TEAMS, BEESQN SAYS
Roads and Bridges in County
Are Now in Need of
Repair.

Inability to secure teams for the
amount of money offered by the coun-
ty is given by County Commissioner
Beeson as the reason for delay in re-
pairing roads and bridges in Wayne
county, which were damaged by the
flood. Many complaints have been
made to the commissioners about the
condition of roads and bridges during
the last few weeks.
The state law regulates the amount
to be paid laborers and the amount to
be paid men with teams For laborers
fifteen cents per hour is allowed and
for men with teams thirty cents per
hour. Commissioner Beeson declares
that there is a scarcity of teams and
that men will not work for this amount
when they can obtain more money
from contractors.
The fact that the county engineer
must first make plans and specified
lions has also occasioned some delay

HOT LINERS
OFF THE BAT

In Boston, the fans are still hopeful
that the Red Sox will overhaul the
league leading Athletics. but those
conversant with the antics of baseball
declare it is almost an impossible task
for the Red Sox to cut down the
twelve game lead of the Philadelphia
players and still have enough power to
hit the tape ahead of them.
Walter Johnson, the pitching Won
der of the Senators, faced the Athletics
yesterday and lost-his third defeat of
the season. Johnson already has won
eleven games-just one-half the total
number won by his team.
The smuggling powers of the Athletics
enabled them to win the double-header
from the Senators.
The Senators in the American, and
the Dodgers in the National, who were
runners-up in early the season, have
been skidding lately, and some there
are who are already counting them
out of the race.
The Red Sox took a double-header
from the Yankees yesterday, winning
the second game in rather easy fash
ion. but they had to fight right
through the ninth inning to grab off
the first. to 3.
The western teams of the American
League today began their first inva-
sion of the east, while the eastern
clubs in the old league are graphing
with the western teams in the same
section of the continent.
The Pirates yesterday transformed
a dozen hits and three bases on
balls into seven runs. which were
enough to defeat the Braves.
Honus Wagner made two hits.
scored two runs and accepted four
chances in yesterdays game.
