Tages Zeitung Suppressed
For Printing Articles of
Count Reventlow. De-
nouncing United States.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-The sup
preston by the German government
of the paper which has been publish
ing the belligerent articles of Count
Reventlow is regarded here as one
of the most favorable signals which
has come from Berlin in connection
with the preparation of the reply to
the American note on the Lusitania
tragedy.
This action of the kaiser, which sus-
pended publication of the Deutsche
Tages Zeitung, is interpreted here to
mean that Germany wishes to avoid
anything which is likely to work
against a peaceful adjustment of the
difficulties between that nation and
the United States and that the kaiser's
government intends to curb all jingois-
tic utterances while the reply to the
American note is being considered by
the foreign office
Count Reventlow has been regarded
as firebrand in the present delicate
situation. Since the sinking of the
Lusitania and the protest of the Unit

BOND BUYERS
SHY AT ISSUE
OF CITY BONDS
$4,000 Issue Not Attractive
to Investors Because of In
definite Phrase0logy in
Advertisements for Bids.
BANKERS DRAW BACK
Interest on Bonds Low and
Outside Banks Fear Legal
ity of Issue to Raise
Money.

Wednesday, June 30, is the date the
city has fixed for receiving bids on
the $50.OOO bond issue recently au-
thorized by council, but it is antici-
pated that there will not be many bids
submitted; first, because of the rate
of interest on these bonds, per cent,
is not attractive; second, because
prospective bidders have been render
ed timid because of the indefinite
phraseology employed in the ADVERTISE
ment for bids, setting forth the pur-
pose of the bond issue.
In brief, quite a few prospective
bidders believe the city has no legal
authority to sell bonds under under
the provisions set forth in the adver-
tisement of the bond sale.
Bid Too General.
In this advertisement it is mention
ed that the money realized from the
sale of these bonds will be used to
pay for permanent street improve
ments, for the purchase Of an aerial
motor ladder truck and 'for the fur
ther purpose of procuring money to
be used in the legitimate exercise of
the corporate powers of such city, and
for the payment of its corporate
debts"
Those who have decided not to sub
NIT bids, and they include several To-
cal financial institutions and at least
two out-of-town banks, point out that
the bond sale advertisement should be
specifically set forth the exact pur.
poses for which the money was to be
used If the requirements of the state
statutes were to be complied with.
Interest Too Low.
"The city really should have taken
out a temporary loan to meet the ex-
penses it has incurred and then issued
refunding bonds to retire the loan," a
local banker said today.
The bonds are not regarded as par
ticularly desirable by banking institu-
tions because of their low rate of in
terest. It is pointed out that town
ship gravel road bonds bear AZ per
cent interest.

INDIANAPOLIS, June 23.--This was
an off day in the hearing Of the city's
condemnation action before the state
utilities commission for the acquisi-
tion Of the electric plant of the Rich
mond Light, Heat and Power COM
pany, but tomorrow the commission
will be in session to hear evidence in
troduced in the condemnation pro-
ceedings and in the city's petition,
filed several months ago, for a reduc-
tion in the rates Of the electric lighting
and power schedules, established joint
ly for the city plant and the privately
owned plant by the state commission,
last year. Thursday, June "a, was
the date fixed several weeks ago for
q hearing on the rate reduction petit
tion, and testimony will be received in
this case, the same as though the city
had no proceedings pending at this
time for the purchase of the compel
ing plant.
A few weeks ago the engineers Of
the state commission established the
present valuation of the Richmond
municipal plant to be $355,752, at the
same time fixing the present value OF
the electric plant Of the Light, Heat
and Power company to be $15l,5OO
which has been increased to $166.50O
since that time because of the addi-
tion Of some new equipment.

RICHMOND Gets
MOST OF TAXES
FAR IN ADVANCE
City's Share Amounts to $94,-
178 All of Which Has Been
Drawn With Exception of
$4,000.

Figuratively speaking. the city Of
Richmond received $94,17S.19 as its
share of the spring installment of
taxes paid to County Treasurer Cham
ness. In reality, or rather in cold
cash, Richmond will receive about
$29, 900, because, as usual, the city this
year has been drawing advance pay
ments from the county treasury to the
tune of approximately $65,000.
To the various townships, civic cor
porations and school corporations the
county auditor will distribute, he an
nounced today, $294,217.63
The school city of Richmond's share
of taxes was $7S,20S.31, but of this
amount $3S,000 has been advanced.
not because the school city needed the
money, but to comply with the state
law
One reason why public jobs in the
town of Whitewater are not in demand
is made plain in the auditors estimate
of tax distribution. That village re-
ceives the munificent sum of $52.39 to
meet all it's expenses until after the
fall distribution of taxes. The tax
distribution is as follows:

which he is entitled to great credit. is the quantity of radium emanation set free when a known weight of ura- nium contained in natural mineral is dissolved in a suitable reagent. This standard can be readily repro duced, and will permit the reduction of the results to terms of pure radium if that becomes the future basis of expression. The minera used by Dr. Boltwood was pure uranite from Spruce Pine. N. c.
 Dr. Boltwood describes in detail the methods pursued by him in his in- ycstlgations, which were very exhaust i've and covered a period of several months Tho results of the electro scopic tests of the gases obtained by boiling the waters were very satisfac- tory, as they showed that the waters at Hot Springs are radioactive to Il marked degree. and from other tests taken to determine the properties Of the emanation from the waters, tufa deposit formed by some of the springs on issuing from the ground was also tested and it was found that the amount of radium contained in 100 grams of the tufa was less than millionth of the quantity of radium associated with an equal weight of radum in patch blende. Samples of tho gas which rose from the springs were also tested, and it's radio-activ- ity was found to be less than that of an equal volume of gas obtained by boiling the waters from the springs. The following conclusions arc reached by Pr. Boltwood as the results of his ] investigations:
 1 1. The waters of the springs on the Hot Springs Reservation are all radioactive to a marked degree. 2. The radio-activity of the waters ! is due to dissolved radium emanation Ca gas) and not to the presence of salta of radium or other radioactive solids.
 It was found that the properties of these radioactive gases were identi- cal with those of the radium enumer- ation.
 On the other hand, when water from which the gas had once been taken was boiled a second time after being allowed to stand, no radioac- tivity was detected in the gas obtained from the second boiling and 1t was, therefore concluded that little or no radium salts existed in the waters This conclusion was strengthened by the fact that test of that left by evaporation also failed to disclose any sign of radio-actiyity of this solid substance.
 8. The tufa deposited by the springs does not contain appreciable traces of radium
