After discussing the erection of a

Other Prize Winners.
Polly Shoecraft, colored, worked
early and late on her garden and rea-

Tom Devers was always one of the
prize winners at the close of the sea-

preacher, was an enthusiastic gardener
and held plot until be became too in

Mrs. Chandler said the aged people

their gardens than the more active
gardeners as they were more patient
with their work, spending their time
to keep bugs and weeds away.

Shoe Clerk Accidentally Re-
veals Reason for Organization
of II Walk" Society on East
Main Street.

The abrupt termination OF activities
Of young and growing Il Walk" soci-
ETY. occurred yesterday. when the or
ganizer accidentally let slip the cause
of the organization.
The society was organized q few
days ago by Clarence Turner, a we'll
known shoe salesman, who suggested
that the spring breezes were sooth-
ing to the nerves, and walk was a
tonic to the system. In the original
organization were a newspaper man
and two or three clerks.
The growing delegation Of east.
bound mixers, building up their health
and soothing their nerves, had only
to pledge themselves to walk to and
from work on days when the weather
is suitable for walking, to become mem
bers of the Il Walk" society.
Last night new member was en-
rolled while the members of the 80
ciety were performing their duties as
members. He readily affiliated aftel
the organizer explained some OF the
benefits. He added the following:
"You also save about one dollar q
week by walking. You see organized
this society because there are toe
many of my customers riding street
cars, and it has to be stopped"

GOOD DRAINAGE
FOR BEALLvIEW
Believes Adequate Sewer
Would Care for Future
Growth - Washing Ma
chine Factory Comes.

Sewers to carry off water
brought into Beallview by an
open drainage ditch were advo-
Gated at the meeting of the
South Side Improvement Asso-
citation and plans were made to
push an investigation forward
Immediately as to prospects,
cost and similar questions.
Association members are willing to
aid in payment for the sewer, they
said last night. Many of the mem
bers are Beallview residents, who
would be directly effected by the pro-
posed drainage system.
The drainage ditch which runs
through Beallview, was condemned as
unhealthful and inadequate. 1t leaves
part Of the water collected in pond
not far from residences. It is the
ditch which runs near the cemetery
and back of the George Knollenberg
farm.
Ask Engineers Estimate.
The city engineer will be asked to
figure on sewers of various sizes. II
it is possible to secure enough county
and city aid in the new drainage plan,
the sewer would be made adequate for
drainage of territory as far east as
Reeveston place. This would taks
care of future growth for many years,
association members say.
The association has prospect for
a new factory, although it is only
possibility at this time. 1t was learned
that washing machine company OF
Indianapolis wants to change locations,
and the association will send list OF
the advantages of Richmond.
The old veneer door factory Is still
unoccupied, although the former OWL
ers are working on a reorganization OF
the company. There will be a report
on the latter at the first May meeting.
Nothing was heard of the auto truck
manufacturing company the associa-
ton has been corresponding with. Ne
gotiations are at a standstill.
The next meeting of the association
will be held in the new building in
Beallview park. The improvement is
almost completed and will be ready
for occupancy and spring activities by
May 1.

Chief of Police Goodwin is
considerably nettled because, he
says, certain men opposed to the
administration are circulating
reports for political purposes
that immortality is on the in
crease in Richmond because of
the lax methods employed by the
police in enforcing the laws.
Chief Goodwin said today that while
conditions in Richmond were not ideal
by any means, they were much better
than would be expected in a city of
more than $4,000 population. He also
lice affairs social conditions had i'm
proved over what they were when he
assumed office, fourteen months ago.
There have been a few resorts es-
tablished in the city during the wine
ter, Chief Goodwin said. and he de-
clared these were the natural result
OF the industrial depression.
1--WE are doing our best to close up
these places, but this Is about the
hardest work we are called upon to do.
for 1t is extremely difficult to secure
discriminating evidence in such cases" :"
said the chief. "The few resorts do
not harbor inmates, but are visited by
men and women. There would be no
difficulty in closing them II the women
who frequented them lived in them as
inmates"
Women In Saloons.
Chief Goodwin also said that he had
been made the target of criticism be-
cause women frequented some sa.
Icons.
There is no law which gives us au-
thority to order women out of saloons,
providing they are 81 years of age,
which fact Mr. Gormon made plain In
an interview he gave out shortly be-
fore leaving office" the chief said
Nevertheless, l have done my best
to keep women out Of the saloons, and
the greater number of saloonists have
aided me in this work. When l went
into office | found that number of
women frequented two or three sa-
looms. but with the cooperation of the
liquor mems organization | was sue.
cessful in having the proprietors of
these saloons refuse women admission
to their places.
There are few saloons now. how
ever, who serve to women, but l think
I will be successful in having them
put stop to this practice. One saloon
list, whose place has been frequented
by quite a few women, has just as

that he has ordered few women liv

Chief Goodwin said that as long as
he administered the affairs Of the po
lice department he would put forth ev
cry effort to make Richmond a city
as free from undesirable social condi
tions as would be possible for him
to do.
