To promote a closer relationship be-
tween the presidents of the denom-

said DR.. Kelly in explaining the pur-
pose of the organization.

The presidents of the state univer-
stiles and colleges have an organiza-

of the United States represent more
students and have property under
schools" continued President Kelly.
DR.. Kelly was one of the speakers
before the convention and his topic
purpose of Secondary Education
was one of the most interesting of
the entire list of speakers. He de-
clared "rhere is an Increasing favor
toward the secondary schools. There
is an increasing number of students
and the outlook for the schools is
promising.
The secondary school is a step
higher than the high school and
bridges the chasm between the uni
versity and high schools"
An invitation for next years meet

SubmarineSHks;
~ Men in Craft

PLYMOUTH, Eng, Jan. 10
Desperate efforts are being made
this evening to rescue Lieutenant
Welman of the British navy, and
a crew of twelve men from the
submarine "A. ~, which was dis
abled during maneuvers in Whit
sand bay and sank to the bottom.
Beneath the glare of search
lights fleet of salvage ships
and navy tugboats worked des-
perately to haul the submarine to
the surface before the supply Of
oxygen on board was exhausted,
and the crew suffocated.
Three hours before "a 7" went
down, and while the navy officials
were telegraphing to the admir-
atty that they feared the subma-
rine had floundered with the loss
of all on board, the A. Z" began sig
mailing to the feet that all on
board were alive. The ship, how
ever was unable to ascend.
Two sister ships of the "a. u.
the "A. 6" and "A. g." were sub
merged at the spot where the
submarine foundered.

MUST WEAR BADGES
Meter Readers Get Orders
From Police.

Police Chief Goodwin today notified
managers of light and gas companies
employing meter readers and other
employees who visit the houses of the
city, that the city ordinance requir-
ing all such persons to wear badges
must be observed. Repeated viola
tions have been brought to the atten-
tton of the police department.
Shortly before retiring, former Po-
lice Chief Gormon issued an order,
which was ignored by the companies.
The department now has case
against one of the employees of the
Richmond Light, Heat and Power COM
pany which will be prosecuted unless
the provisions of the ordinance are
complied with at once.

The men who attended the meeting
last night approved of the inspectors

fee of so cents, to be paid into the
city treasury, for the inspection of

ings. He will also recommend a fee
for the inspection of furnaces after
they have been installed.
81 am required by the code to in
spect furnaces after they have been
installed in any building" Hodgin
said, but unless it is provided that
permits be secured before furnaces
are installed it will be practically i'm,
possible for me to learn where furn'
acse are being put in"
Fees from wiring and furnace in
spections, il is believed, would cover
a great part of the expenses of the
building inspection department.
Sanitary Inspection Also.
An inspection of sanitary plumbing
probably will also be a part of the
building inspectors work. This will
be provided, il is believed. in a sep
plumbers will probably be appointed
to draft a plumbing inspection code
Among the changes recommended
by the builders who met with Inspect

The following section is recommend
ed to be entirely eliminated: "A side
walk or passageway at least four feet
wide shall be kept in front of each
building during the process of its con-
struction, etc" This is Objectionable
because it would necessitate building
passageway fences in front of proper
ties sitting far back from the street,
where sidewalks were not interfered
with. The next section also provides
passageways on sidewalks where
buildings are being constructed within
the fire limits. The section referring
to truss bridging is advised to be
modified. also the section referring to
the lining of frame structures.

VISITS BIG PRINTING OFFICE
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson Gets Waterman
Into Trouble by Unexpected Call
at Print Shop.

Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife OF
President Wfisop. has been doing .
good deal Of Summing In Washington
ever since she has been here. She
has visited all Of the wretched alleys.
and they are really not very numer
GUS; all the tumbled-down buildings,
and we have quite a lot OF those, and
she Il now making the rounds Of the
departments to see wherein the con-
ditions OF the clerks can be bettered.
The other day she wandered up to
the government printing Office with
some friends to make a personal In
spection OF the conditions undsr which
women r working in that 611lding.
Mrs. Wilson always requests that it
be not made known who she Is, and
furthermore she insists upon visiting
these places unexpectedly, SO that
there can be nc sweeping and busting
beforehand.
At the government printing office
she was received by Henry e. Terry,
one Of the watchmen. and to him she
gave her orders not to let her identity
be known, then asked him to accom-
pany her around the building. Mrs.
Wilson declined to let Public Printer
Ford know that she was there, and
SO the poor Waterman could do moth
ing but tremble in his shoes and
tramp around over the great building
with the first lady Of the land" who
was appearing i~neCsnito. Mr.. Terry
was nearly scared to death, and as
Don as she was out of the Office
and she got out without anybody find
ing out she had been there-Terry
reported to Public Printer Ford that
the presidents wife had been there.
Very naturally he was enraged that
the wife of the president of the
United States should have been re-
ceived in the government printing
Office just as anybody else was re-
ceived who wandered In off the
streets. Public Printer Ford did not
believe that this comported with the
dignity of the department or himself,
and as Waterman Terry had com
mitted a grave breach of the rules
Ford Immediately dismissed him.
OF course Watchman Terry was
somewhat up in the air. He wanted
to be entirely loyal to the government
printer, and yet he had a dim notion
that the wife Of the president OF the
United States ranked everybody, and
between the two he was about to lose
out, when he had the fcrethought of
appealing to Senator Lane of Oregon.
Senator Lane Immediately visited the
| White House, told what had happened
and implored Mrs. Wilson to use her
best efforts to have Waterman Terry
reinstated. This Mrs. Wilson proceed
ed to do, and Terry Is again on the
Job, a wiser if not sadder man. 1t will
take more than the wife of the presi-
dent of the United States to make
Terry break another rule of the gov.
eminent printing Office. The Wilson's
are not at all ostentatious, xnd in
their efforts to be just common people
are continually getting somebody into
trouble.
