PARIS, March 17.-Premier Dou-

Joseph Caillaux, minister of finance,
late today, and announced that his
successor would be appointed tonight,
This action followed a cabinet meeting

Caillaux shot CASTOR Calmette, the
brilliant editor of the Figaro to death.
The premier wished to keep Caillaux,
but it was pointed out to him that if
this was done the cabinet would be
accused of tacitly approving the act
of Nine. Caillaux, who was actuated
by political attacks upon her husband.
Anti-Caillaux demonstrations occur

noon, and many students were arrest

While the formal charges were be-

Brings Tax Increase.

Brings Tax Increase.
In the schedule of rates which has
been submitted 10 the commission bv
the city attorney. the domestic rate
is reduced from - cents a thousand
gallons to II cents The proposed
schedule will place nearly all of the
large consumers in the s cent class,
which would mean a very large reduc-
tion from that source in the revenue
With the large reduction in revenue
from the domestic consumers and a
greater reduction to all of the large
consumers, il will mean that the city,
to make up the difference. must be
burdened with large increase in the
cost of water and service for fire
protection, schools. hose houses and
other purposes This larger cost can
only be met by an increase in the
taxes.
During the year 1913 the company
furnished 9s.000.o00 gallons of water
to the city free of cost The city paid
the company $4,000 for fire protec-
ton. Under the new schedule the citv
would have to pay $4,000 for the free
water and .S14,5o0 for fire protection
Even from revenues from this in
creased cost the company could not
make up for the large loss incurred by
the reduction in domestic and large
consumers rats.
Cost to Consumers.
In the schedule which has been
filed it is pointed out that the rates
are based on semi-annual consump-
ton instead of daily consumption Th..
latter is the basis for the present
rates. Under the new schedule il will
only be necessary for a consumer to
use Sol worth of water in six months
in order TO be entitled to a cent
rate Under the present schedule it
is necessary TO use $4,000 gallons. or
S45 worth of water in order to get
cent rate.
At the time the case was filed
with the commission. il was pointed
out that the rates for water in Rich
mond were too high and that the
commission should fix valuation
which would reduce the price nt
water. Both sides were heard and the
attorneys for the city and the COM
pany have been given until next Mon-
day TO file briefs of their arguments.
The company is claiming a valua-
tion of $1,2000.00o and the city de-
Clares the valuation TO be 100000.
II the commission fixes a valuation in
excess of 100000 il will mean that
there Will be a greater increase in
water rates or the city will have to
pay far more for water and service.
with a consequent increase in taxes.
in order to enable the company to
earn the $4,000 deficit Mr.. Bonds
own figures show il TO be entitled To.
The case has been watched with
great deal of interest as il has been
represented by City Attorney Bond

That He Is Afraid of John

"If the dry people of Richmond lose
this election it will not be because
the liquor forces were strong in them
selves, but because of the spirit of in
difference manifested by the church
and laboring people," said Daniel A.
Polling. of Boston, Mass, in an ad-
dress last evening at the tabernacle.
Mr.. Polling was greeted with the
cheers of one hundred Earlham col
lege boys, who marched to the taber-
nacle.
Every man and woman has some
thing definite to do" continued Mr..
Polling. but the usual custom is to
leave the work to some one whom you
think has broader, deeper and high
er influence. If every churchman Of
this city would vote dry the city would
be rid of the saloon with a large ma
jority.
The slogan of the Young Peoples

Last week when the Palladium as

out the district. Smaller newspapers
in the district, accustomed to reflect
ing editorial views in their news col.

Palladium's announcement of Gray's
victory.
The Rushville Republican. the first
district newspaper to discover a col
ored brother in woodpile and to de-
clare the Palladium news story "mys.
terious," in it's Monday evening issue
editorially confirms the denomination
of Gray. The Republican says:

Finly Gray, congressman from
this district, seems to have the
strangle hold on all the Demo
Gratis. 1t looks like that "upris-
ing" that appeared to be cropping
out against his denomination was
all "claptrap" 1t is quite true
that many of Gray's appointments
have not pleased and his actions
in congress because of his pro-
nounced insurgency have not
been to the liking of the Taggart
Democrats. at the same time he
is being endorsed far and near by
Democratic conventions.
