. Mr.. Reid said today that the most
prosperous class in the United State:
right now was the farmers. He sale
that he believed the farmer woulc
continue to bask in prosperity fol
some time to come. He called atten
tion to the high prices obtained for
wheat and other farm products for the
last ten months, and predicted a con
tinuation of abnormal prices for some
time because of the great demand
created for farm products by the Eu
ropean war.
Another thing in the farmers ia
vor." Mr.. Reid added, lis the great
wheat crop that will be harvested this
year. This crop is in splendid con.
dition."
But the farmers are not buying
much machinery for use in the fields,
some one suggested.
They are too busy buying automo
biles.' replied Mr.. Reid, laughing.
War Stimulates Work.
Asked what reason he ascribed fol
the industrial depression. a friend in.
terposed. that is getting into poll.
tics" Mr.. Reid made no comment OF
this remark. merely saying that he
believed business was taking a rest
He also said he did not think the
European war had anything to do with
the industrial depression. He said
that as matter of fact the war had
served as stimulus to many branches
of American Industry.
What is your opinion concerning
the outcome of the Lusitania incl
dent Mr.. Reid was asked.
81 have none.' he replied promptly,
adding that it was a question which
demanded very careful consideration.
Count Magnoni was greatly inter-
ested in the late developments of the
Austro-Italian situation, and was in
formed that once more there was a
prospect for peaceful adjustment OF
the controversy between the two gov
ernments He said that the relations
between Italy and Austria-Hungary
were exceedingly strained. and that he
would not be surprised if the two ma
tions engaged in hostilities.
Reid Ends Discussion.
Count, if Italy gets into this war
we will be shipping olive oil and spa
ghetti to Naples inside of a month"
remarked Mr. Reid, and the discussion
of the Austro-Italian situation ceased
abruptly.
Count Magnoni while in this coun-
try has been closely studying the So
cial and economic conditions of his
fellow countrymen. He asked how
many Italians lived in Richmond, and
was greatly surprised that there were
three or four hundred of them.
Are they American citizens?" he
asked, and when informed that the
big majority of them were. he nodded
his head approvingly. While in Rich
mond Count Magnoni met quite a few
members of the Italian colony. ques-
tioning all of them closely.

President Gathers Data on
Lusitania Incident to De-
termine Policy of United
States.
HOLDS PEACE THEORY
Declares Philadelphia Speech
Not Indicative of Course,
But Peace Note Regarded
as Dominant.

WASHINGTON, May 11-President
Wilson today made it clear that his
policy on the Lusitania tragedy is not
yet formed, and that his speech in
Philadelphia last night is not to be
construed as indicating what that pol
icy will be.
The president told callers today
that he would announc, his policy as
soon as he was certain he had all the
elements in mind. He declared the
sentiment expressed last night consti-
tuted his personal attitude, but was
not intended touching upon a ma
tfonal policy. He added he was think
ing entirely Of the people he was ad-
dressing.
Committed To Peace.
The president at the same time had
nothing to add to what he said on
Sunday and he refused to say wheth-
er the United States had communi-
Gated with the German government re-
garding the torpedoing of the Lusita-
mia.
The president disclosed at least one
cardinal feature of his policy in his
speech at Philadelphia in which he
VI dCllCdIiy COInmlLleO QlmSelI TO
peace. Washington takes this to mean
that the president does not think there
is anything in the present crisis which
will force the United States into war,
but that he is fully aware of the de-
mand of the country that vigorous
action be taken.
Sounds Lofty Note.
Administration officials today are
wondering whether the presidents ad-
dress made favorable impression up
on the nation. 1t sounded a lofty note
of altruism which many officials be-
lieve was intended to soften the rising
tide OF anger in the United States
against the loss Of American lives on
the Lusitania.
The concensus of opinion In Wash.
ington today is that President Wilson
will make another effort to obtain
from Germany a promise that there
will be no repetition of the torpedoing
Of passenger ship when American
lives are at stake.
Failing this, the next step proba bly,
will be the severance of all diplomatic
relations bet--e cen Germany and the
United States. The issue of peace or
war will then be placed squarely be-
fore Germany.

TUPELO, Miss, May 11.-Vice Pres
ident Marshall speaking here on
National Tendencies" advised eau
ton on the part of the United States
in dealing with the delicate problems
presented by the sinking of the Lusi-

sidered that when a person boarded
an English vessel he was virtually on
English soil and must expect to stand
the consequences. Marshall declared
there are too many men in the United

CONTROL BUSES:
CLUBS REQUEST
OF COUNCILMEN
Committee Wants Jitney
Autos Operated Under
City Ordinance on Regu-
lar Schedules and Streets.

City council will be asked to pass
ordinances regulating jitney, buses In
Richmond and charging small
license fee for the privilege of using
the city streets. This was decided
last night by the Commercial club
committee on electric railways which
also took up the proposition of estab-
fishing a central hack depot for in
coming automobile truck lines con-
Meeting Richmond with neighboring
towns.
The committee will ask council to
pass an ordinance forcing jitneys to
run on schedules and thus add to their
convenience. The jitney bus owners
will be requested to use other streets
than those on which street car lines
are operated, in order to add to the
accommodation of the public.
Secretary Haas was authorized to
make an investigation of the cost of
maintaining a hack depot. He will
ascertain the sentiment of hack own
ers and then take steps to secure a
room for them.
In order to make them liable for in
juries to passengers, all public car
riers will be asked to secure liability
bond. The committee will ask that
council make this provision in an or.
dinance regulating iitney buses. .-
