The lines formed ten blocks south
OF the business district and included
representative of the various tenn
rerance societies in the city, priests.
rabbis and ministers; boy scouts, col
leg students: church denominations
and women's organizations.
The long line of marchers was brok-
en- at intervals by floats and nearly
every group carried banners and trans
parencies. The marchers showed their
interest in the cause to which they
are pledged by wearing white and blue
caps inscribed on one side with the
Chicago motto, Il WILL and on the
other. "For Dry Chicago Vote. Yes"
The parade was marshalled in twelve
divisions and the marchers enlivened
the tedium of the hard way by sing
ing temperance songs as they moved
along.
The demonstration was planned as
preliminary to campaign to put the
wet and dry" question on the bal
lets at the next spring election in Chi

GREAT GRAVE IN

REPAIRS MADE ON PAVING
IN THE BUSINESS STREETS

The street forces have been busy
for two or three days making repairs
in the paved section where the creo-
soted blocks "bucked' during the re
cent rains. The upheavals this time
were the worst ever, and leaves many
uneven patches in the principal streets.
The creosoted blocks are all right for
summer time and dry weather, bui

CHINA RELAXES
OPIUM FIGHT AS
MONEY NEEDED

PEKING, Oct 9.-The effect of the
war upon China have been severe in
many ways, and one of the worst is
that the Government, driven for need
OF money to desperate straits, has
now been compelled to relax, for the
purpose of revenue, on the splendid
opium reform which it had achieved
in recent years to the amazement of
the world.
The Chinese Governments has been
living for number of years on loans
procured from European countries.
These loans came to an abrupt end
when the war began. The Chinese
Government endeavored to make do
mestic loans, but succeeded only lin a
comparatively insignificant way. 1T is
now trying to intitute a new system
of taxation, but is making little pro-
gress and recently agents of the Min
istry of Finance have come to an agree
ment with combination of foreign
opium merchants in Shanghai to per-
NIT six thousand cases which have
hpnn -
enter the province of Kiangsu on pay
ment of a surtaX Of $4,000 a case,
making for the government $4,000, ,000
These six thousand cases represent
the last of the indian opium that will
come legally to China. This was
stock which was certified by the Brit
Iish Government in India and permitted
to come to China during the last few
years before the British Government
finally terminated the shipments to
this country. Since that time opium
merchants in Shanghai have been
fighting hard to get the drug into
China, and the Chinese have been
struggling to keep it out Now, how
ever, the Chinese Minister of Finance,
Chow Hsueh-hsi, being driven to des-
pirate ends, has Undoubtedly with the
sanction of President Yuan, without
whose approval it could not be done)
agreed to settle this long standing
question by allowing opium to be con-
sumed in Kiangsu for, it is estimated,
at least two more years.
Meantime, governors of different
provinces, according to authentic and
persistent reports, have also modified
their restrictions on the planting of
the poppy, because of the need of
money and the large revenue which
can be derived from the sale and
transit of opium.

In retiring from the Barker-Neal

DARING CAR PILOTS
GO AFTER RECORDS
ON CHICAGO TRACK

With arrangements completed for
the worlds greatest 50O-mile automo-
bile derby over the worlds fastest
two-mile course. the first annual mo-
tor race on the Chicago Speedway
park track will be held Saturday.
Three worlds records have been es-
tablished on the new Chicago course
since the first day of trials. and with
each new record, mile was added
the first place, Earl Cooper, driving
Stutz, ground out two miles at the
rate of 100 miles an hour, and this
speed was pronounced the very great
est ever attained on a circular track.
A few days later Dario Resta, in a
regularly sanctioned trial, which was
presided over by Starter Fred Wag-
ner, clipped seconds off Cooper's time.
The Italian driver smashed madly
around the tWo-mile oval, lettering
Cooper's mark and establishing a new
record. His average was 110.1 miles
an hour.
Barney Lowers Mark.
1t fell to Barney Oldfield, perhaps
the worlds most famous driver, to
lower the time made by Resta. Hav-
ing agreed to attempt the task of low
ering Resta's record, Oldfield was fea
tured on the Sunday afternoon pro-
gram of dashes at Speedway park. He
appear upon the track driving his IA
nous old speeder, the Christie, which
is front wheel drive, and although it
was necessary to tow the Oldfield ma
chine around the first half mile OF the
track to heat up the engine, once the
car got under way, there was speed
unheardof. Barney took several spins
around the course before finally way
ing for a time watch on the speed,
and when he crossed the electric tim
ing device, taps for the finish, a new
record was announced. The cigar
munching driver had spun for an av.
erage of Ill miles an hour, and al
though few hope to see that record
beaten, Resta has expressed determ
ination to clip off the new time.

Women Follow
Inside Baseball

Local jokesmiths have found their
fild of activity greatly narrowed this
year.
No longer can they poke fun at the
women who attend the games at Ath-
letic park. Mrs. Fan doesn't ask fool
ish questions about why players stand
in such and such positions, why the
pitchers tie themselves in bow knot
before delivering the ball, why the bat
ter can not run on a foul ball, why the
runners muss UP their nice suits by
sliding into first base. The small con-
tingent of women fans who follow the
varying success Of the Richmond base
ball team may be seen in their regu-
lar places each Sunday. They know
the players by name. They know why
batter sacrifices another to second.
Irhey advise when a bunt would serve
the purpose better than a hit. They
groan with agony when boneheaded
fielder pegs to the wrong base.
Richmond's women fans are real
fans and know the game.

extent and that when it does begin to

them are due to take E. licking.

first sacker who has not put up the
game expected of him, being much
slower than last year and without
much pep. A new man to handle the
first sack is being sought. The re-

directors are perfectly satisfied with
it,
