Exercises Extreme Care in
Order Not to Lower His
Dignity.

LONDON, Feb. 26.-In the presence
of King George, his family and many
members of English royalty, the Gil
ants and White Sox, played ball
game here today before a crowd that
taxed the capacity of the stand at the
Chelsea football ground.
Before the game was called. Jimmy
Callahan and John McGraw, the riv-
al managers, were presented to his
majesty.
King was asked to throw the first
ball and about decided to do SO when
he figured that such an act would
bring him too much notoriety, so he
compromised by having the ball
handed to him and he then handed it
in turn to U. s. Ambassador w. M.
Page, who tossed 1t onto the field.
Throughout the same His Highness
frequently expressed delight to those
in the box.
Whenever a play took place that he
did not understand he consulted news

turned to Ambassador Page for en-
lightenment. The score was to 4 In

Captain Rogers Says He Will
Pick Up Steam and Ice
Boats and HE Himself
Hence.
AGREES TO DISAGREE
Says Morton Lake People
Will Regret Not Giving
Him Sole Rights on Pass
enger Crafts.

Farewell Wild Rover. Goodbye Cap
tain Rogers. Again the tickle old sea
dog has decided to take up his steam
boat and ice boat and HE himself to
more sociable climes than can be
found in the neighborhood of Morton
lake
A few weeks ago Captain Rogers
rebelled against ruling of the lake
and park company and assuming a
truculent mood, appeared before the
company's officers demanding his
rights. Not receiving an answer in
the affirmative, ne advertised his en-
tire property, consisting of a shanty,
a steam boat known as the "Wild Ro-
yer" and an ice boat, for sale
However. he reversed his decision
and decided to build his promised ad-
dition to his excursion boat and make
other improvements he had agreed
to in his contract with the company.
A few days ago the company decid-
ed to let contract to several parties
for the operation of a motor boat line
on the lake. The wrathy captain then
handed the lake and park company
an ultimatum, declaring that wild
Rover" and motor boats for public
hire could not exist simultaneously on
so small body Of water and that all
diplomatic relations would be severed
unless the company made him sole
possessor of motor driven excursion
boat rights on Morton lake.
He was refused. Hence his decision
to leave Richmond's obnoxious en-
virons.
The captain has not sold his boat,
as vet, but says he will dispose of 1t
to the first person offering to pay him
for his work and the materials he
used in the construction of the craft.
The Wild Rover at present is frozen
In almost two feet Of ice in a small
cove near Morton dam.

10000 DONATION FOR GUEST HOUSE
StipuLatiOrlS of
$4,000 ProHer

Mrs. William Dudley Foulke ad-
dressed the appended letter to Miss
Margaret Starr, president of the Guest
House Auxiliary, in which she sets
forth her willingness to pay the $1O.-
900 purchase money for the old Busi-
ness college property. which the
hackers of the movement intend to
convert into a home for working girls:
Margaret Starr, President Of the Guest
House Auxiliary.
My Dear Miss .Starr-l am willing
to cooperate in your plans to estab-
lish social center for the working
girls Of Richmond and comfortable
home for such of them as most need
it, and ! am willing, on or before jan
uary I next, to pay the $4,000 pur-
chase money for the property now
contracted for by the Richmond Guest
House, to be used for the above named
purpose (providing the title thereto
be perfeet), upon the following con-
dtons:
First. A fund Of not less than $780,
600 to be raised from other sources,
a part to be used to make the neces-
sary improvements on said property
to adapt it to the above purpose; and
a part to be securely invested and the
interest devoted to the support Of said
Richmond Guest House.
Second. | am to have the right to
appoint during my life one member
Of the board of trustees, and as it does
not seem to me wise nor fair, that the
board of trustees should be a close
corporation and seIf-perpetuatIng,
while the auxiliary is doing SO much
OF the work without any representa-
ton on said board, therefore, ! think
that your auxiliary should have the
right to elect at least three Of the
board of trustees, and ! ask that the
necessary organization therefore be
perfected prior to the payment Of the
purchase money by me. II desirable
the number Of members Of the board
might be Increased for that purpose.
Third. The Richmond Guest House
to be for the benefit of working girls
without any distinction as to religious
belief (being equally free to Protest
ants, Catholics, Unitarians, Jews or
persons Of any other faith whatever),
and while the spontaneous devotions
Of the inmates are to be entirely free,
yet the house is never to be used for
any political or religious propaganda
Of any kind whatever, nor to be under
the control Of any political or religious
organization, and that innocent amuse-
ments, including private theatrieals
and dancing, If decorously conducted,
and at reasonable times are not to be
prohibited therein.
Fourth. II any Of these conditions
are not fulfilled or IL the property
shall cease to be successfully con-
Quoted az such soclai center and COM
Portable home, II shall revert to me
and to my heirs, to be devoted to
such benevolent uses as ! may desire,
if living, or my heirs may determine
after my death.

NJ e m b e rs of Commercial
Body Investigate Need of
Organized Building and
Loan Association.
E XTEN D LOAN TIME
Spring Home Builders to Be
Aided if Plans of Backers
Result in Formation of
Concern.

A thorough investigation is being
made by the Commercial club COM
mittee on homes for workmen with
the idea in view to ascertain whether
or not a new building and loan asso-
citation operated by Richmond men
would be Of any relief or stimulate
building among factory men and store
clerks" said Charles w. Jordan, sec
retary Of the club.
THE idea is to establish loan COM
pany on more liberal basis than any
in Richmond continued the secretary.
"and this will aid the prospective home
owner in fully realizing his purpose.
"If established. the new company
would grant longer extention oe time
for the borrowers, and in many other
ways make it possible for almaaleany
family to owns Its own home.
Prepare Plans.
II is understood that the % Sject
will be operated merely fro1a the
standpoint of a home promoter fdf the
city At this time plans are merely
tentative, but it is thought that within
a few weeks the enterprise will be
worked into shape so that spring
home builders will be aided by the
plan.
Several large cities in the country
have attempted and still are operating
similar institutions merely as a specu-
lative project and a town booster.
The investigation by the Commercial
club committee is far reaching. and
number of communications have
been received telling of the success of
the plant in other communities.
AS to who will back the new asso-
citation the secretary or committee
members will not say. Asked if the
proposed company was to be organized
to fight loan sharks or men of that
type Of businesses. Secretary Jordan re-
piled in the negative.

been manger of the hostelry for sew
eral months, will continue in that ca
pacity. The policy of the hotel will
continue the same.
The hotel has been sold back and
forth several times during the last two

Hotel Rand in Cincinnati, and who is
part owned of the Willard hotel at
Louisville, KY, formerly possessed the
lease on the Westcott, disposing of his

with President Wilson by Wade H.
Cooper, president of the Union Saw
ings Bank and the United Savings
Bank Of this city.
Justice Wright who is nationally
known because he sentenced Presi-
dent GOmpers, of the American Fed

1t is also alleged that the general
council of Washington Railway and

President of Board of Works
Optimistic on Advantage
GUS Outcome of Rate Ad-
justment.
ALVORD APPRAISES
PLANT AT 100000
Company's Engineer Admits
Advertisement Made in 1909
and Tries to Explain Pres
ent Increase.

Unless / am greatly mistaken, the
state public utilities commission will
f1x a valuation on the Richmond City
Water Works plant which will be the
hasis for rate readjustment greatly
to the benefit of patrons of the com
pany."
This was the optimistic statement
made today by President Bavis, of the
board Of public works, who has just
returned from Indianapolis, where the
hearing of the water works case was
completed yesterday.
II think the Water Works company
itself convinced the commission mem
bers that the valuation it had placed
on Its plant was excessive" continued
Mr.. Bavis.
Not Certain Of Basis.
The board president says he does
not know whether the commission will
use the cost of the plant reproduction
or present value as the basis for rate
making. The city argued in favor Of
using present value" as the basis.
but the company desires the rates to
be figured on the cost of reproducing
the plant, for it is presumed IL such a
valuation is accepted going concern
valuation will be included.
Engineer Watts, representing the
city. opposed the consideration Of "go-
ing concern" valuation in the case OF
the local Water Works company, be-
cause. he said, the dividends made by
the company every year since the or
ganization of the company had more
than made up the losses incurred by
the establishment Of the concern.
~s.s Claims $4,000 Increase. ,s...s
Notwithstanding this fact, the COM
pany now claims that the going con-
cern valuation has increased $4,000
since 1909, or ten per cent. two and
one-half per cent per annum.
Mr.. Bavis also stated the company
had virtually admitted to the commits
sion that s3O7.2 of stock was desti-
tute of tangible assets
'One Of the interesting facts brought
out in the case was when Engineer
Alvord, representing the company, was
on the witness stand" said Mr.. Bavis.
4 sent note to Mr. Bond requesting
him to ask Alvord if he did not ap-
praise the plant in 1909. Bond put the
