STORES TO PAY
BULK OF COST
ON BUS DEPOT
Commercial Club Calls Con-
ference of Truck Line Op-
orators and Benefited Mer-
chants.

Endorsement of the proposed central
station in Richmond as a meeting place
for the various bus lines operating in
and out of this city, was given by the
board of directors of the Commercial
club at their regular meeting last
night
Secretary Haas is now arranging a
conference to be attended by the own
ers of the various motor trucks in
operation in this county and benefited
merchants whose country trade is di-
rectly affected by the hacks. The
time for this meeting remains un-
settled.
The establishment Of a depot with
the appointment of a so-called agent
whose duties would include the care
of the merchandise, will greatly con-
venience the patrons of the auto
trucks and enhance the value Of these
lines. the directors decided.
The hacks are now arriving and de-
parting from individual headquarters.
The location of these stations is often
unknown to would-be passengers and
patrons, and the value of a central
station cannot be estimated.
Means Better Business.
The directors in considering this
matter last night, appreciated the pros
poets of the increasing business of the
country trade of the Richmond mer-
chants which would result through the
establishment of the depot.
The expense to be borne in creating
and maintaining the station will be
the most important item to be dis
cussed at the coming conference since
it is granted that the establishment of
the station will meet the favor of all
the proprietors of the busses.
1t is declared that in view of the
fixed and operating expenses Of the
trucks and the fact that the bus busi-
ness is virtually gamble" the per-
sons who are the beneficiaries of the
lines should defray the expense in
volved in making and keeping the sta
ton.
The argument is made. that the
farmer and residents of rural commu-
mites in the county and this section
of the state should be induced through
every possible means to buy from
Richmond merchants and all material
support should be given to this plan
in view of its inestimable possibili-
ties.
1t is not believed that the merchants
will offer any forceful argument
against the proposal that they shoulder
the expense of the station IL its es-
tablishment is approved by persons
who attend the conference.

Angry Over Arrest

Stark naked, except for his shoes
and socks, Frank Parker of Cincin-
natl sits on a bench in the city Jail
today.
He burned all his clothing on the
cement floor of the bastile last even
ing to show how indignant he felt be-
cause he had been arrested.

WASHINGTON, July 13. - Both
President Wilson at Cornish and Sec
retary Lansing here devoted themsel
yes today to the German reply to the
American note on submarine warfare
the indications being that the third
American note will be in tentative
form by the time the president re.
turns to Washington.
Secretary Lansing began the pre-.
paration Of the memorandum to be
laid before the president which will
represent the attitude the new secre
tary of state thinks should be taken
in the new crisis. The president is
said to be formulating his own views
at Cornish. When the president re
turns to Washington the note will be
forwarded as soon as possible. 1t was
practically decided last night that il
would not be necessary for Secretary
Lansing to go to Cornish. Instead the
plan was adopted to have him consider
the unsatisfactory reply here while the
president gives it consideration al
Cornish.
There is no concealment in official
quarters that the situation is regarded
as critical but by no means hopeless
The second evasive reply of the Ger
man government to direct questions
asked by the U. S. has left a bad
taste in the mouths of Official Wash
ington and Mr.. Wilson's rejoinder is
expected to be a document that will
demand in the strongest language per
missable in diplomatic correspondence
specific answer regarding the safety
of the Americans at sea. That this
government is bound to turn down the
counter proposals made by Germany
is not doubted here.
Officials received today apparently
reliable press reports that Germany
is prepared to make additional con
cession in case the u. S. rejects the
Overatures. Under no circumstances
it is believed will the U. S. agree to
mark ships carrying Americans for
such an arrangement would signify
that unless an American is on a mark
ed ship he is without protection guar
anteed by international law
1t is supposed the answer by Secre
tary Lansing and President Wilson
will criticise the failure of Germany
to treat the Lusitania tragedy serious
ly. In her last reply Germany seeks
to dismiss the Lusitania destruction
with the destruction that Great Britain
is really to blame because of the
British blockade and nothing is said
about the reparation twice demanded
by this government.

safe and sane solution Of the Main

today by President Bavis Of the board

They decided to start the ball roll

ness district. Lines marking these
zones will be painted on the paving in
durable white paint and the police
officers will receive instructions that
they will be held personally respcn-
sible for the safety of all pedestrians
crossing the streets in these zones.
Under the new police traffic regu-
lations Richmond will no longer be
known as the only city in America
where street cars stop on the "off"
corner OF a street instead Of the
near" corner. For example: when
an east bound Main street car ap-
rroaches Eighth and Main street it
must stop opposite the southwest
corner to discharge and take on pas
sengers, who enter and leave the car
inside a safety zone running parallel
wit hthe tracks the. length of a street
car
When the motorman is ready to pro-
ceed with his car he must sound his
gang and depart when signaled to
do SO by the traffic officer and he
must not bring 1t to a stop again until
the next corner is reached. 1t is also
planned to have traction cars operate
with conflict to the schedules of the
city cars to alleviate frequent traction
and street car congestion at Eighth
and Main streets.
Police Make Arrests.
Drivers of vehicles which fail to
bring them to stop when a street
car stops ahead of them will be
promptly arrested and the reckless

prisoners were interested spectators.
The blaze did no damage to the build
ing, which is constructed entirely of
steel and concrete.
Parker says that just as soon as he
gets out of Jail he is going to avenge
himself upon the city of Richmond by
breaking the largest plateglass win
dow he can find. Officers say he is
not insane; just "bull-headed.''
He created a scene in a restaurant
at Fourth and Main streets last night
and was ordered to leave. Then he got
noisy at a restaurant at Fifth and
Main streets and Patrolman Stephen
son arrested him. He became so bois-
ferrous that the officer threatened to
give him a slapping, whereupon Par
ker put on a pair of spectacles and
dared Stephenson to hit him. IF you
hit me while have my glasses on 1

tiary," Parker roared. Stephenson
promptly took them off and gave Par
ker a punch in the face.

allowed to remain in the nude until
tomorrow, when clothing will be Sc
cured for him and he will be arraign.

BERLIN, July 13.-Further success
has been won by the German troops at
Souchez and they are advancing on
the Arras road. Today's report from
the general staff states that the Ger
mans have advanced 600 yards across
the Souchez cemetery and have cap
tured the Cabaret Rouge Inn on the
highway between Souchez and Arras.
The Souchez battle has been in pro-
gress for two days, the Germans max
ing an important gain. That the
French are striving to regain their
lost ground is apparent from the fact
that they made an attack with gren-
ades on the sugar refinery. This at
tack was repulsed the Germans re-
port.
In their continued operations at
Souchez the Germans have captured
three officers and 215 men.
French attacks during the night in
La Pretre forests are reported to have
broken down.
The situation in the eastern and
southeastern theatre is unchanged.

not yet, however, secured any re-

STRIKE
OF MINERS IN
SOUTH WALES

LONDON, July 13.-The govern
ment today took drastic steps to
avert the strike of $4,000 miners or
dered to begin in South Wales on
Thursday. 1t decided to invoke the
provisions of the munitions act which
makes arbitration compulsory and
makes every striker liable to fine.
Announcement Of the governments S
decision was made in the House of
Commons this afternoon by President
Walter Runeiman of the board of
trade. He asserted that the muni-
tions act made it illegal for any one
to participate in strike unless the
board of trade had investigated and
made a report.
A strike in the South Wales coal
fields at the present time would seri.
ously cripple the manufacture of mu-
nitions and it was for this reason that
the government took its sharp action.
