IMPROPER CHARGES
WILL Be ADJUSTED
Manager Wharton Asks Con.
sumers to Call At Office
For Explanations.

In a statement issued today explain
ing the attitude of the Richmond Light,
Heat and Power company relative to
complaints that bills to consumers are
not properly made, ]. B. Wharton,
manager, invites subscribers to call at
the companys office with their state
ments. He announced that all charges
would be explained to them, and I'M
proper charges, where such have been
made, would be properly adjusted.
Other than this the company stands
pat on its present system, merely cit
ing the section of the ordinance and
contract relating to the price to be
asked and received for natural gas.
Cites Complaint.
The complaint has been that the
companys method of carrying odd
hundreds of feet over until the next
month was unfair to the small consum-
er, burning less than 1000 feet Of gas.
City Attorney Bond said he judged
from the statement that the company
intended to do what is right, that is,
charge the consumer only for the
amount of gas burned. He said he
and Wilfred Jessup, attorney for the
company, who drew up the statement.
agreed on the Interpretation of the or.
dinance-contract
So far, according to the city attor-
ney, no one has been overcharged.

Evangelist Honeywell Deliv-
ers Sermon on "HOw Is
Your Family. >.
WARMTH OF FEELING
PLEA OF REVIVALIST
Criticises Young Men of This
City for Apparent In
difference.

With an audience of about three
thousand people before him, including
a delegation frcm the Reliance foun-
dry, Evangelist Honeywell preached
last night on How is Your Family?'
He spoke with his usual vigor and
fiery earnestness, but the apathy OF
the audience, as the evangelist him.
self characterized it, was such that
only twenty converts went to the front.
OF these three or four were Christians
who had not been satisfied with their
previous religious experience.
"Oh, when will you Christian peo-
pie wake up?" cried the Rev. Mr..
Honeywell. as he noted the listless-
ness and apparent Indifference of the
Christian people in the chorus and the
audience. You people haven't been on
your knees in prayer wrestling with
God. You are not doing your personal
work tonight as we'll as you did last
night. You know, God knows, and l
know there is not the earnestness in
prayer, the full conservation there
should be. You people that haven't
gotten cold feet, get out into the crowd
and get somebody by the hand and
bring them up here.
Source of Discourse.
His text from II Kings IVES was,
els it we'll with thee? Is it we'll with
thy husband? Is it we'll with thy
child?"
II am greatly indebted" said the
evangelist, ITO four great preachers
Billy Sunday, DR.. Chapman, Gypsy
Smith and r. A. Torrey 1t was from
DR.. Chapman's remarkable sermon
that got the suggestion for this ser
mon tonight. I desire to express my
obligation to him"
He then told the story Of his text
how the son Of Shumanite woman
(She had looked upon Elisha as man
of God and had prepared a little room
for him when he would chance to
travel that way) had been stricken
down by the Gun while working In the
harvest field, and how the woman had
and then how when he saw her COM
ing, Elisha ran forward and cried to
her, '1s it we'll with thee? Is it we'll
with thy husband? Is it well with thy
child?"
Teaches Prayer.
God gave US this story" declared
the evangelist, that it might teach us
first of all, the great lesson of impor-
tunity in prayer. o for men and WON.
en- in Richmond who know how to
pray! II you would get down on your
knees and go to work, it wouldn't take
long to pray this old town into the
kingdom.
II would like to make this message
so plain that no one can truthfully &C
away and say, Well, the evangelist
was discussing something did not un
derstand.' / would like to make it sc
personal that no one can 60 away and
say, Well, it was not intended for me.

Fred Bateman, Former Entire
Nous Player, Meets
Death.

Fred Bateman, formerly shortstop
on the old Entire Nous baseball team,
recently connected with a Cincinnati
newspaper, died under such mysterious
circumstances in that city Tuesday at
midnight that a post mortem examina-

Bateman was found in a dying con-
dition on the sidewalk in front Of his
home. Although his death probably
was caused by heart disease, bruises
about his face and knee prompted the
coroner to order an examination.

WESTCOTT ABANDONS
HIGH PRICED FIELD
Company to Put Out 81, 1856
, Type Auto For the
Spring Trade.
NEW MODEL is READY
Factory Adds to, Force to
Turn Out 20 Machines
a Day.
NEW MODEL is READY

DESERVING the field of high-priced
motor cars, the Westcott Motor Car
company announces that beginning
within fortnight it will place upon
the market lower-priced automobiles.
The cars are quoted at $1,3S5.
The demand is fast growing toward
lower-priced cars, and to this end We
have spent time and money in design
ing a car that would meet the ap-
proval of all classes declared Gen
eral Manager Lee Ashley. The new
car will have practically the same
seating capacity as former models, and
will be equipped with electric starter
and lights"
The first of the new models. finished
in white, will be sent to Chicago in a
special express car for the Chicago
automobile show, January "a. 1t was
at first thought that the new model
would not be completed for the show,
but night and day shifts were placed
on the car, and it went to the paint
shop this morning.
Ready for Spring Trade.
1t is the present plan of the West
colt company to place the 1885 car
in the field for the spring market.
With this fact in mind the plant will
increase its force until within sixty
days it is expected the plants force
will be trebled.
Within sixty days the plant will be
turning out cars at the rate of twenty
day. said Manager Ashley. From
the reports received from agents and
distributors throughout the country.
two-thirds Of the factors output has
been purchased, and each days mail
brings many new orders.
Frank G. McCurdy and other repre-
sentatives of the Westcott factory will
accompany the car to Chicago. The
new model is somewhat smaller than
the higher priced cars, and weighs
less than $500 lbs.
The car is equipped with a new type
Of half underlying springs. The West
colt car is the first to use this new
type of springs. which gives the car
as much road clearance, yet it is six
inches lower than the average car.
The body is of the new streamline
design, which is being used in all for.
eign cars, but the Westcott design will
be distinctive because of its graceful
yet simple lines.
The power unit of the new model
is three and half by five Northway
motor. almost identical to the one
used in the $3.50 and higher priced
machines. The wheel base Of the new
type has been reduced to 113 inchs
! which, in time, will be uniformly
adopted for cars of this type.
At this time both touring and road
ster models will be turned out by the
factory. They are both quoted at the
same market price, but there are GER
tain reductions for equipment on the
roadster model.
| The officials of the Westcott COM
pany are endeavoring to get of their
! hands all the 1914 models of the larger
! cars SO that work on the new model
may be started as soon as possible.

REAL TANGO DANCE

MUSIC OF TROPICS

Spanish-American in Essence

Suffering maekeraIs! Richmond
society last evening. while u sazed
with fascination on the first local ex-
hibition Of the real tango. AZ grace

Bailey, one Of the popular younger
society bellies, and p. Paul Pearse,
dancing expert and late physical in
structor for the Richmond Y. N. c.
A., realized with horror that the
catch-aseateh-can wrestling move
ment in vogue here this winter and
known as the "tango" was merely a
earbary Coast "bear."
The real tango. just rs Il was when
captured in the wilds Of Argentina
and brought to America to set half
the nation dippy with its terpsiehor-
can charms, was danced by Miss
Bailey and Mr.. Pearse at the !. o. o.
F. hall and was witnessed by nearly
three hundred society folks.
The undefiled tango is as typical
ly Spanish-American as chilli con
carne or a Mexican revolution 1t
is danced to languid music of the
tropics through which runs a domin-
ating undercurrent of time which
characterizes the classic American
rag" music. Physical culture from
the waist up is strictly tabooed as
the dancers go through their steps.
but this does not rob the dance of its
dash.
A Thing of Beauty.
Miss Bailey and Mr.. Pearse now
hnr
would flash back to each other for
the other graceful, dashing move
ments. There is nothing coarse in
any of the tango movements. 1t is
all grace-a thing of fascinating
beauty
Enthusiastic applause rewarded
the dancers as Richmond's first exhi-
bition of the tango concluded. Then
a few ventursome young couples
sailed forth to give exhibitions of
the Americanized tango. This dance
is shy on foot work, but is an excel
lent medium for the display of the
contortionist's art. 1t consists of the
clutch hold of the bunny hug"
dance, the stride of the bear cat"
and the swaying movement of
storm tossed rowboat.
Not for Average Man.
There was considerable discussion
of the real tango at the conclusion
of the exhibition last night, and it
appeared to be the general opinion
that the average American man would
probably trip over himself and break
a few bones, IL all the graceful. cat
like. steps Of the Argentine produc-
ton were attempted by him. 1t was
frankly admitted that the South Am
erican dance is by far the superior of
its Argentine prototype and that the
Americanized dance would be greatly
improved by the elimination of the
body movements and the adoption of
the more simple steps of the real.
official tango.
Miss Bailey and Mr.. Pearse also
gave exhibitions OF the one step and
beautiful waltz movement Mr.
Pearse himself performed the Dance
Of the Goblins," showing his great
skill in this line OF work. Miss Bailey
is a remarkably clever dancer. dane

GRAY FACES FIGHT
TO HOLD POSITION
Tucker Believes Sixth Dis
trict Will Gust Old
Representative.
SEN TIMENT GROWS

r. G. Tucker, one of the best known
political writer's in the state, and In
dianapolis correspondent for the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, believes Finly Gray
is going to have lot of trouble in
securing the Democratic nomination
for congressman from the Sixth dis
trict.
Writing in the Enquirer, Tucker
says:
1t seems that the Democrats, over
the district feel that the Grays have
been taken care of in a manner that
should satisfy the most fastidious of
politicians, and from various corners
of the district it is cited by Democrats
that George Gray, elder brother of the
circuit composed of Fayette, Frank
lin and Union counties for more than
twelve years and now is sure to be
nominated by the Democrats again in
that judicial district: that Finly has
been congressman from this district
for four years; that the latter appoint
ed his sister as his private secretary
during his incumbency and that in all
probability he will appoint his brother
as postmaster at Connersville, there
fore in each county there are those
who claim that some other should be
nominated at the next congressional
convention and pass it around.
"Gum-shoeing'' Is Long Suit.
Again there is quite a number who
think that Finly should not stand
aloof and refuse to enter Democratic
caucuses; they say he should do more
than he has been doing along the line
Of putting the ''kibosh" on the civil
service list and helping Democrats to
secure positions: that they can buy
their garden seeds all right II he will
attend to getting a few jobs for his
constituents that his long suit is in
"gum-shoeing" the district and build
ing political fences, when he ought to
be on the job over at D. G. and many
other things, ad infinitum.
Then there is Finlys attitude on the
little donation which was solicited for
a present to the presidents daughter
Heroic efforts are being made by
George and Ffnly to prevent any other
candidate from appearing in the field e:
an effort is being made to sew up the
various delegations by counties. but
say the wise ones, there will be a can
didate on convention day to oppose the
legislator from Connersville and the
Democrats will nominate new man
from the Sixth district. Time will tell
the correctness of this assertion.

.SOLONS BEGIN WORK
ON WILSON'S PLAN
Trust ViOlatOrs to Receive No
Immunity" Baths Un-
der New Law.

WASHINGTON. Jan. Is. - Mem
bers of the senate interstate and
house judiciary committees today be-
gan work in earnest on the antitrust
legislative program as agreed to in
conference between the president
and congressman. The first of four
items of the plan struck out by the
president is that removing the last
possibility of immunity baths" for
trust magnates who are parties to
violations of the Sherman law. Not
only are they to be held to answer
for personal guilt" but they and
their corporations will be denied len,
iency by the confession" route.
Actual punishment is the Wilson
plan. Interlocking directorates is to
me definitely penalized in the case
of banks, trust companies and allied
industrial corporations, so that the
means for conducting an industry
may not be assured in one place and
artificially withheld in another. An
interstate trade commission is to abb
sorb the present bureau of corpora
tons and serve as an auxiliary of the
courts and to the department of JUS
tice. 1t is to gather information as
to corporations and furnish it to the
business world.
AS far as possible all doubts as to
just what constitute a monopoly or
conspiracy in restraint of trade is
to be removed and the rule Of reas-
on" in this way repealed.

METHOD IN TEACHING
Wife of Former Local Man
Says 3-Year-Old Boy
Speaks 2 Languages.

Mrs. William Bayard Hale. wife Of
the former Richmond man who Is
special personal counsel to President
Wilson, is spoken of in Washington
papers as one OF the worth while"
women of Washington. Her use OF
the educational methods of Nine
Maria Montessori in teaching her son
is touched upon.
Mrs Hale, who was Olga Unger,
daughter of the German-American
banker. Emil Unger, was married to
William Bayard Hale In London, four
years ago.
Since that time, Hale has become
the biographer and friend Of President
Wilson and was entrusted with i'm
portant personal messages of the
President to Mexican. rebels.
Mrs. Hale, who is herself teaching
their son, said to a representative Of
the Washington Star regarding the ap-
plication of the Montessori methods:
Il have adopted these methods in
the training of our little son, whose
education is the chief interest of Mr..
Hale and myself. He learns through
play. Every morning he plays with
big cards, on which are printed num-
bers and the letters. of the alphabet.
This, you might say, Is the way he
goes to school. Now, at the age of
three years, he is a robust and merry
child He speaks two languages, Eng
lish and German, and knows many
French words and phrases He reads
and prints simple words with perfect
ease. and can put his numbers toGefh-
