today, when asked for a motorcycle

He now makes 81 a day and pays out
for expenses on his automobile more
than 81 a day, besides his other ex-
penses, for which the law makes no
provision
This office practically carries no

resolution but favored the purchase of
a motorcycle if loophole in the law
can be found Gilbert H. Hendren,
chief Of the state board Of accounts, in
a reply to Auditor Bowman regarding
expenses of the highway commission

The motorcycle could be purchased
as an indispensable public necessity,
as several other counties have listed
transportation facilities for their
highway superintendent"
The motorcycle in question will
cost about $3.50 and while the saving
to the county will not be actually
monetary, Mr.. Jones expects the in
creased efficiency to pay for the ma

Members of the board suggested
that Mr. Jones use the automobile

SECRETARY
TO DIRECT GIVING

Members of the special charity COM
mercial club rooms. concurred in the
report of a subcommittee consisting
of Fred White, Mrs. Mulard Warfel
and Mrs. Ben Rush. The committee
has been further instructed to make
the charity bureau plans more tangi-
BILE by framing a constitution and by
laws and specifying the officers and
their duties.
The plan outlined, which was adopt
ed unanimously, is to place an officer
at the head of charity work in Rich
mond and have all charitable organi-
cations of the city indirectly under
the control of the central body.
Part of the plan includes the forma-
ton of an advisory board of business
men to assist in financial campaigns.
The financial campaigns would be held
every year and revenue would be Sc
cured either through entertainments
or by subscriptions.
This money would be apportioned
to the charity organiza tons according
to the amount they are now using an
nually. Individual means of raising
funds, now used by charities would not
be curtailed by the central bureau
campaigns.
Other provisions made in the outline
drafted for a central charity bureau
are expected to simplify the philan-
thropic efforts of individuals and or
CARNATIONS. The elimination of pub
lilo grafters of charity" who sometimes
are found to be receiving charity from
fOur or five DerSOnS or Organjza tiOnS
is expected and the dispensation of
money, food and clothing will be
made Systematically.

hold them as hostages, according to
the belief expressed today by refu-
gees, who have just arrived from the
capital. This bold stroke, designed
to prevent an attack upon Mexico
City, may have already been put into
execution. Even If Huerta did not
actually arrest Americans in the CAPT
tai he could hold them virtually pris-
oners by refusing to allow trains to
leave the city.
Nelson O'Shaughnessy. the Ameri-
can charge d'affaires, discussed at
length the situation at Mexico City
with Rear Admiral Fletcher and Rear
Admiral Badger. Before going on
board Admiral Badgers flagship, the
Minnesota, Mr.. O'Shaughnessy de-
clared to a representative of the In
ternational News Service, that Huerta
is in no condition to offer strong re-
sistance to the Americans.
Every one knows that General
Huerta is in no shape, financial or 9TH
erwise, to offer any strong resistance
to the American forces" said Mr..
O'Shaughnessy. "If an American
force should attempt to penetrate the

ger would come from attachments of
