unfair tactics on the part Of the

pany In competing against the Rich

ed by superintendent Kleinknecht Of
the city plant in statement today.
Kleinknecht said, however, that de-
spite what he called decidedly amazing
and unethical procedure on the part OF
the Light, Heat and Power company's
representatives the business of the
city plant continued to grow at very
satisfactory rate, and that this would
be the banner year of the plants his

CLUB SUGGESTS
PARKING SPACE
IN new STREETS

Parking of automobiles in the mid
die of North A street between Sew
enth and Tenth street, is favored by
the public welfare committee of the
Commercial club, which met last even
ing in the Commercial club rooms. The
committee unanimously approved Of
some kind of a parking ordinance but
condemned the present ordinance as
being too stringent.
BY unanimous action. the commit
tee will recommend to the city coun-
Gil that the present ordinance be
amended so that vehicles may be al
lowed to park on Main street at least
a half hour. 1t was decided. however.
that the ordinance should prohibit
parking within a half block of Eighth
and Main street either on Main or on
Eighth street.
The police department has been le-
nient with violators of the parking or
dinance and in the opinion of the pub
lie welfare committee. the method
used by the police in allowing half
hour for parking shoud be included in
the ordinance. The committee took ac-
tion that unless an ordinance is en-
forced. there should be no ordinance
enacted because of the moral effect.
Because OF the width of North A
street, this solution of the problem
was we'll taken by every member of
the committee.

out how long our meter had been out.
We investigated and found that meters

Customary Practice.
Superintendent Kleinknecht also
stated that for about year it has
been a common practice of the L. H.
and P. men to enter vacant houses and
change meters.
He also charged that a woman liv-
ing on South Thirteenth street had
been threatened that unless she took
l.. H. and P. electric service that she
could not have natural gas service.
Then he asserted that recently a
North e street business man was pre-.
vailed upon to take L. H. and P. cleo
trio service on the representation that
unless the company's electric business
was expanded the natural gas rate
would be increased.
"When L. H. and P men remove our
meters they have been in the habit
of keeping them ten days or two weeks
before returning them to our office,
Superintendent Kleinknecht said. BE
cause of this practice we do not at
once learn of the change in service.
When we do learn of such changes
we send out solicitors to try and re-
cover the business, and we are gen.
orally successful in doing SO, but fire.

away with the argument that you
have had our service now for two
weeks and you might as well let us
serve you the rest of the month

KENTUCKIAN
THREATENS CREEK;
BATTERS PRISONER

Two Kentucky bad men," Robert
Spivy and Charles Todd, came to Rich
mond yesterday from College Corner,
took on considerable whiskey, and in
the afternoon attempted to terrorize
that part of the city in which the north
end C.. & O. station is located.
An irate Irish-American straw
boss" bluffed Spivey from carving up
a Greek, John. Yoris.& with . threat To
'exferminate him II he did not put up
his knife, threat Spivey was sober
enough to heed. Then as Voris board
ed train Todd hurled stone at him,
missing the Greek but going through
the window of an engine cab, almost
hitting the engineer. The police were
then notified and Police Chauffeur
Wenger unassisted gathered in both
Kentuckians and an aged inebriate,
Frank Parker, whom he found sleep
ing off drunk in the street.
After being placed in Jail Spivey
decided that it was still up to him to
carry out his role as a bad man, SO he
set upon Parker and gave him an un-
merciful beating, cutting open and
severely bruising Parker's right eye
and inflicting painful flesh wound
Then Spivey broke two or three win
dows and tore down bench. The up.
roar brought police officer to the Jail
and, it is whispered, when he ceased
his attentions to Spivey the would-be
bad man was quite chastened.
Spivey when arraigned in city court
this morning was sentenced to the
state penal farm to serve out sixty
days and fine of $25 and costs
Todd, on a charge of intent to commit
a violent injury. drew ten days and a
fine of $40 and costs. Parker, on a
charge of intoxication, was fined 81
and costs. Parker the last time he
was arrested took off his trousers in
Jail and then set fire to them.
Prosecutor Keller informed the
court that the assault Spivey had com
mitted was the most aggravated and
unprovoked that he had investigated
during his term as prosecutor. He
referred to Spivey as "disreputable
Kentuckian' of the hill country
variety

The company's, stock is scattered
throughout Indiana and the central
states.
The complaint is in three para
graphs. 1t alleges that the proper
course to increase the capital stock OF
the company from the original 100000
authorized when the concern first was
incorporated under the name of the
Home Insurance Company was not fol
lowed, and that a reinsurance arrange
ment made by the Sterling company
with the Hartford Fire Insurance Com
pany of Connecticut is invalid.
The first paragraph proceeds on the
theory that the Sterling company is In
solvent because of the amount OF
stock it issued. and on the additional
theory that all those who purchased
stock after the first 100000 was TAX
en- are creditors of the company. The
second paragraph says the company is
insolvent because of losses in business
and on the theory that all money In
excess of par value paid for stock be-
came liability of the company, and
not an asset. Practically all stock
holders paid double par value for their

After three days experience Earl
Showalter, 18, Richmond youth,
reached the decision that cleaning out
a cage inhabited by three lions, twice
a day, at a salary of $40 a month, was
no job for an inexperienced boy to try
to hold. Therefore Earl shook the
Wallace circus at Washington c. H.,
O., recently receiving no pay. because
he had not worked a month, but
possessed of quite a few hair bristline
experiences.
Earl beat his way back to Richmond
on freight trains and since arriving
here has lived in barns in various
parts of the town. Yesterday the
police gathered him in. His plea to
be permitted to leave Richmond tC
