County Jail.

1.-The city bastile is disgrace to

ed Postmaster Beck, chairman of the
county board of charities today.
Mr.. Beck and Joseph Commons of
Centerville, visited the jails yesterday
and found the county Jail in excellent

Beck said. 1T should be torn down

WITH VATICAN

ROME, April 2.-That complete
understanding has been reached be-
tween the Vatican and Quirinal and

ment that the Catholic clergy of Italy
has been instructed to lend its CO.

the privation and suffering that long

At the same time this was taken

the part of the pope towards 1taly's
attitude concerning the present con-
flagration The pope's effort to secure
an early peace, his diplomatic negoti-

Council May Abandon Plans

PETITIONS FILED
Lack of Interest in Work MAY
Cause Board to Let Plans
Go by Default at Mondays
Session.

There is a possibility that the city
will not go into the street oiling busi-
ness this year, as the board Of public
works had considered doing, because
of the utter indifference the public has
shown in cooperating with the board
in carrying out this project.
''The city was willing to purchase
street oiling outfit, and still is, so
far as that is concerned, but apparent
ly the citizens are not in favor of the
city oiling the streets at an expense
to the property owners of only the
actual cost of the oil used, by far the
most satisfactory oiling plan ever pro-
posed in Richmond" Mayor Robbins
said today.
Council May Refuse.

Efforts are being made to identify
a snake which dropped from a bunch
of bananas belonging to H. V. Nc
Leland Wednesday.
The snake is about three feet long.
Its skin is peculiar color which can
most nearly be described as dark
brown with diamond-shaped markings.
The snake was torpid when 1t
dropped from the bananas. While
tarantulas cause the fruit dealers little
fear, they jump as far as possible from
the snake. --.. ...-....-...
The snake may be one of the little
death-dealers whose sting causes al
most instant death from bleeding OF
the nose, ears and mouth. This snake
is found in Honduras and is described
as of a peculiar green color.
The carload of bananas Is probably
made up chiefly of the Central
America variety of the fruit. The
snake found Wednesday was placed
Immediately in glass bowl and tor
fastened on. Inside the bowl are
cross sticks on which the snake plays
and performs with the celebrity Of a
trained circus snake.

BOND HOLDS REPORT
Experts Refer to Council Re-
port and Committee State
ments to Build up Book Ac-
count.

In their report to the state public
utilities commission on the records Of
the Richmond Municipal plant John L.
Fulling and Harry Boggs show the hap
hazard methods which were employed
for considerable length of time in
the conduct of the plants affairs
Summarizing their report they say:
I'VE were unable to find any of the
first financial records In which the
business of the plant was recorded.
nut we did locate some monthly re-
ports of the superintendent to the
council from 1906 to 1918. In order to
build up the accounts from the time
the plant was started we hai to go
back to the early council records and
secure our information from partial
and incomplete reports Of committees
Gs set out therein, and these together
with the monthly reports of the super
intendent form the basis of the fig
ures as set up in the income account
and building and equipment account
up to July l, 1913.
Few Records Kept.
1T was impossible to secure or set
up correct balance sheet for any Pc
rod up to July I. 1913. owing to the
incomplete records. All business was
handled on a cash basis and DO stock
or inventory accounts were of record.
Neither were there any records Of &C.
counts receivable or payable or prepaid
accounts.
"On July 1, 1913. a new system of
bookkeeping was installed. There is
no doubt but that the city advanced
some sums of money out of its gen.
eral fund during the early period of
the plant, but owing to the lack Of
records it was impossible to ascertain
the correct amounts. However, in
January, 1910, the council records
state that the plant has fully reim-
bursed the city for all monies SO ad-
vanced.
in building up the property ae-
count to June 80. 1913, we charged all
the items as were SO set out in the
council records and reports. and the
total book valuation on said date
shows $345,62s.0S. However, when the
new system Of accounts was installed
on July I, 1913, an inventory of the
plant was taken and the property ac-
count shows a total Of $232. .1O0.9S. or
book shrinkage of $113.517.10. This
is probably accounted for in the re-
placement of worn out machinery and
other depreciations Of which no record
was made.
"The report sets forth the fact that
on December 81. 1914. the city plant
had a book valuation of $413,272. ~.
The report also shows that from July
l, 1913. to June 80. 1914. the cost of
operating the plant was II per cent
of its revenue. and that July I. 1914.
| to December 81, the same year the
operating cost was 40 per cent Of the
revenue"
This report was received three days
ago by City Attorney Bond but was
not made public until today.

WEATHER FROWNS
DOWN ANTICIPATED
EASTER PROMENADE

"Cold. blasting winds and lowering
skies will direct a concerted attack
at your, new spring gowns Easter
Sunday" quoth the weather man with
a sardonic grin, replying to the anx-
ious interrogations of Mrs. Richmond
and her fair young daughter, who have
been industriously preparing for the
annual fashion exhibit.
Coaxing availed them nothing as the
weather man stood firm. Entrancing
anticipation of the pleasure of flaunt-
ing the filmly creations in the warm
spring sunlight and caressing breezes
fled before the forecaster's prediction
Of unsettled and probably slightly
warmer" That no false hope would
be aroused by the Slightly warmer
part of the prediction, the weather
man placed ominous stress on prob
ably" ... .
With defiant toss Of her head Miss
Richmond displayed fine scorn fol
the despicable weather man by declar
ing that she intended to wear he1
new frock anyhow, regardless Of 'youl
old cloudy Skies"
Already many women have beer
unable to resist the temptation to ex
hibit the new chapeau on Main stree.
and have appeared wearing the new
straw bonnet, which afforded effec
tive, if not pleasing contrast to the
winter coat and furs.
Only a drenching downpour of rair
or a heavy snowfall will prevent ths
entire Richmond family from prone
nading to Easter services on Sunday
morning, resplendent in new rainment
The new gowns and suits must be
worn despite the weather.

MONKEY MARKET HIT
BY EUROPEAN war

The monkey market is all shot to
pieces.
There is big demand for the popu-
lar, mischievious little animals and a
very limited supply in this country.
This condition is charged against the
European war. There is also a very
limited supply of parrots.
These facts were learned by Charles
Ford, superintendent of Glen Miller
park, in a letter he received from S.
A. Stephan, manager of the Cincinnati
"zoo," to whom Ford wrote asking
him to quote prices on a few monkeys
and parts Stephan said he had no
monkeys or parrots to sell.

4 MORE SHIPS
,TORPEDOED BY
UNDERSEA WASP
Norwegian Bark and Three
British Trawlers Destroyed
at Widely Divergent Points
in European Waters.
1Y JOHN C., FOSTER,

LONDON, April 2.-Another neutral
ship has fallen victim to German
submarine. A dispatch received from
Amsterdam shortly before noon today
stated that a Norwegian bark had
been torpedoed and sunk in the North
sea. Eleven members of her crew,
said the dispatch, were landed at the
Hook of Holland this morning by a
Norwegian steamer that had picked
them up.
Three British fishing trawlers were
attacked by the German submarine
V-1O in the North sea Thursday and
sunk. Several members of the crew
are missing.
While the German submarines are
continuing their activities on the Eng
lish coast and sinking ships at the
rate of one day, as evidenced by the
destruction of the French steamer
Emma on Wednesday and the British
steamer Seven Seas on Thursday, with
a total loss of thirty lives, dispatch
received from Lisbon today brought
news that they had extended their
operations as far as the Spanish coast
on the Atlantic.
The dispatch stated that the Brir.
ish steamer South Point had been
sunk by the German submarine U-2S
sixty miles off Cape Finisterre. The
crew of the South Point was rescued
and landed at Lisbon. Earlier reports
had stated that the South Point was
lost in a storm, but today's dispatch
says she positively was sunk by a
submarine.
From the Scilly islands, where the
UPS was last reported as operating, il
is approximately 500 miles to Cape
Finisterre. Naval experts in London
decalred that if the advices from lis
bon were correct the capability of the
German submarines had been under
rated.
