Suffrage.

CHICAGO. June 17.-Champions of

day in a report by Grace Julian Clarke
that she had just received a report Of
d declaration from Lieutenant Govern
or William T. O'Neill that suffrage is
an early probability in Indiana.
The prophecy coming from a high

as meaning that the next legislature

fought so bitterly for years. An eX-
cerpt of a speech of the Lieutenant
Governor delivered at the commence
ment exercises at St. Marys of the
Woods was read with interest by dele

The federation went dry today and
it went dry with roar that shook the

''Whereas the liquor traffic is re-

BE it resolved that the women of
the General Federation place them
selves on record as opposed to the
liquor traffic and in favor of such
federal or state laws as will tend to
eradicate this evil

TO TRY LUMINOUS
LIGHTS FOR main
City Officials Will Pass on
Samples Sent Here on
Trial.

A great white way" for Richmond
is what Alfred Bavis, president of the
board of works predicts when the new
luminous arc lighting system is in
stalled. Three sample lamps have
been placed on Main street near Fifth.
1--WE will have great white way
from First street to Twelfth street,
Bavis declared with those lights,
believe Main street will be as bright
as day, even on the darkest nights. We
Will think we are in the wrong town
when We see the difference"
The new lights are fastened to the
iron poles which support the trolley
wires for the street car lines. There
will be seven lights on each side OF
the street to every two squares an
average of seven to a square from
First to Twelfth street, if the plans
of the board are carried out, and the
lights prove as satisfactory as the
members now expect.
The lights will be tried tonight fol
the first time. A number of city Off
Gals will be there to see the results
and judge as to the merits of the
new system of illumination. They
will be left there for some time as q
test.

OPEN TREATY FIGHT
Senators Attack Bryan's Co.
lOmbian Plan.

WASHINGTON, June IA fight
which is expected to exceed in bitter
ness even the canal tolls struggle, was
begun today when Secretary Bryan
transmitted to the Senate the Treaty
for the settlement OF the Panama con-
trOversy with Colombia and the
treaty for the application of the Plat
amendment to Nicaragua.
The Colombo treaty will be at
tackled on three grounds, the EEK
preston of regret" for President
Roosevelts action; the payment of
$4,000, 900 for title TO the canal and
the admission Of the alleged wrong
done Colombia when the United
States recognized the sovereignty of
Panama.
The Nicaragua treaty will be
fought on the ground that it provides
for a protectorate over the Central
American republic.

CLUB WANTS SHOW
TO WINTER IN CITY
Commercial Body to Offer
Home to Wallace-Hagen-
back Circus.

An effort Is being made by the
beck Wallace circus winter in Rich
mond. 1t is understood the big shows
with the menageries and hundreds of
employees will not remain long in Peru
because Of the danger of the grounds
of flooding as the circus suffered a
heavy loss in March, 1913, just at the
time preparations were being made to
start the summers tour.
Investigations have shown that the
undesirable element which is always
connected with a circus enroute does
not winter with the show but that the
trainers and keepers, with their fam
lilies remain at the home quarters Of
the circus.
1t is believed the bringing of such
an institution as the HagenbeckWal-
lace shows to this city would put Rich
mond on the map throughout the EN-
tire country as Bridgeport, Conn, be-
came known because the Barnum and
Bailey shows Wintered there.
A big circus of such proportions is
an asset to a city in the winter and
not only is the trading done by circus
employees themselves big, but the adj
ditional trade brought by reason Of a
circus wintering in the city is believed
to be great.
The club will have some induce
ments to offer in short time when
the proposition is preached to the own
ers of the circus. The tract of ground
required would be no less than $50 to
200 acres. Hilly country would be as
good for the purpose as any other
kind of land.
The nearness to Peru, the present
quarters, will be a point in favor of
Richmond as the equipment used in
the winter there could be moved here
without much expense.

 Europe By War

j Tn the quaint old town of GuttIinger, Kingdom of Wurttem burg, Miss Clara Koh1er of this city, is marooned by the terrible war now raging in Europe. Al though the kingdom Of Wurttemburg is supposed to be neutral ground it is said that the inhabitants of the It, tie town near the Swiss border must have heard for the past three days the terrific cannonadfng of the Ger man artillery.
 Miss Kohler, who is the daughter of John KohIer, baker of 1855 Strat-s ford avenue, left this country for Eur ope on June 3. It is knors1l that She crossed through the German empire and over the Alps for a brief visit in Switzerland. She reached 7uttlinger on June 12, sending post cards from there to her resatives in this city. Since then,a no word has come from her and in the meantime the armies of Europe have clashed between her and home.
 Miss KoIler had been employed as a governess in the family of Prot De
 Ward of Harvard college, Cam bridge. She went abroad this summer to per- feet herself in the study of the Ger man language. Although near the scene of hostilities, Miss Kohler's rela- |tfves feel that she will keep out of danger and that she will claim pro- lection as an American citizen Miss Kohler has two brothers in this city.

 CABLEGRAMS

London, Aug. 25-A despatch to the Empress from Ostend says:
 tsA great battle has been in pro- gress in the province of Hainaut, on the southern frontier of Belgium since Friday evening. French and British troops have been engaged in desperate conflicts north of Charleroi and FIeurs with Germans who crossed the Mouse at Huy. Saturday, French troops which had spread from Lille met the German right in east FTand- CTS. Desperate fighting between out posts took place at Oudenarde and Renaix. The losses were heavy on both sides Monday. Twenty-Five tIaou- sand Germans have been surrounded between Courtrai and Anzeg1eim, a town six miles west of Oudenarfle. Fighting was progressing Sunday at Peronnes, between Mons and Pinche and between Wategham and Dude nar6ie.
 ssThe HandeIsb1aad says that, since Monday, the Germans have been in Brussels. Arrivals from -Liege state that many houses there were burned last week. German soldiers have in scribed on the walls of the city Will liam IT, Emperor of Eufope'.'
 London, Aug. 25-A despatch to the Times from Ostend sent today says that 30,0OO Germans are attacking MiIines, a Belgian 13 miles southeast of Antwerp. SkiFmishing is general in northwest Flanders.
 London, Aug. 25-The corresponil- ent at Antwerp, of the Evening News, teIegraphs that Zeppelin afrship, which flew over Antwerp last night, fire at Hemixem, six miles outside of Antwerp. The crew of IS men were taken prisoners.
 Another despatch from Antwerp says this Zeppelin, before it was brought to earth, succeeded in drop- ping seven or eight bombs into Ant WerD One of the houses wrecked by these missiles was only 300 yards from the palace of King Albert. Seven Dersons were killed and six seriously injured by this explosion. Some other houses were half demolished by the falling bombs.
 One bomb partly wrecked the hos Tostal of St. Elizabeth but fortunately there were no patients in the building. The explosions threw the inhabitants of Antwerp into a condition of semi panic.
 There is intense indignation in Amt werp at the attack upon the hospital, which was flying the Red Cross flag.
 London, Aug. 25-A despatch to the Daily News from Paris says that the Germans bo1nbar7ed Char1eroi be- tween noon and o'clock Saturday. They came into the town by way of the left bank of the Sambre river. That same evening French troops ar rived but as the Germans kept up a fire from the houses in the lower part of the town the French were forced to lombard it and that portion of the place was soon im flames. On the same day the Germans set fire to a whole series of outlying villages, de- stroying Marchiennes. Nonceau- Sur Samh1e, Anderleus and Chaelet.
