NUMBER OF ROBINS
GROWS DAY BY DAY

II you are believer in the robin
as sure harbinger of spring. then
the season OF warm sunshine, budding
flowers, and house cleaning is near at
hand.
The robins have taken possession of
Richmond this week. The little red
breasted travellers have come UP from
the southern rice fields In flocks and
have taken refuge in the parks and
near the houses that are surrounded
with thick shrubbery.
Visitors at Glen Miller on Sunday
saw many of the birds in the thick
grove of catalpa trees near the south
entrance. BY this time even the most
casual observer has noticed the robins
and heard their calls in the early
morning.
The arrival Of the robins is fully a
month earlier than last year, when
their first appearance was noted about
March 10. Blue jays and red birds,
which although not migratory birds,
keep to the shelter of the thick woods
and protected holiows during the win
ter, have also made their appearance
in the open, and farmers have report
ed many crows flying over this week

TO prevent RIOTS
Officials Fear Trouble at
Demonstration Arranged
for France and Allies.
TeY LEASED WIRE.1

ROME, Feb. 18-Ten thousand Ital-
ian troops marched into Rome at dawn
today and took up positions where
they would be at an advantage II any
outbreak occurred at the demonstra-
ton in favor of France and her al
lies arranged for this afternoon.
The demonstration was arranged by
leaders of the Democrats, Republicans
and Nationalists as patriotic move
ment to force action for Intervention
in the war by parliament, which re-
convened today.
Heavy guards of soldiers were
thrown about the parliament building
and about that occupied by the war
ministry Soldiers were also placed
about the Austrian and German en-
bassies. No one was allowed to ap-
proach either of the embassies with
out stating his business.
Great crowds surged through the
streets early in the day gathering in
the meeting place, but no attempts to
arouse an attack upon the embassies
had been made up to noon. The gov
eminent had granted permission for
the meeting, but at the same time had
given notice that no violence would
be tolerated.

VIEWS SHOW RUINS
OF OLD CIST MILL
NEAR SHORT CREEK
Mrs. Elizabeth Gambler Ex-
hibits Photographs Taken
Over Forty Years Ago in
Historic Valley.

Historical pictures of the country
south Of Richmond in the Short Creek
valley below the Straight Line pike.
were shown today by Mrs. Elizabeth
Gambler whose father was owner Of
the first mill on the stream.
One of the pictures which occupies
a place in the album Mrs. Gambler has
made up. is fifty-six years old and is
in an excellent state Of preservation
None of the pictures are lesst than
forty years old.
Another album contains pictures
showing traces of the old home. The
last relic still standing is a gate which
was fastened to a young oak tree sixty
years ago with iron hinges. The gate
has not been used for years and is
covered with growth of moss. The
iron hinges are now invisible. the oak
tree having grown around them.
The size of Short Greek has decreas-
ed considerably, the pictures show
Old springs on the hillside have now
died out. The we'll which still con-
tains water, Is covered with a few
slabs of stone, the only remaining
parts Of the old mill
The use of the old mill was discon-
tinued, Mrs. Gambler said, when the
Elkhorn mills on the Boston pike were
opened. The Elkhorn mills shut off
the water supply so that the Gambler
Mill could be used only when the Elk
horn mill was in operation.

DEATH Of PRIMARY
BILL DISAPPOINTS
LOCAL DEMOCRATS


Wayne county Democrats as a whole
are in favor of the enacting of broad
gauge statewide primary election bill
and it was with great deal of dissat-
isfaction that they read today that the
advice of President Wilson, Secretary
Bryan and Senator Kern to pass the
primary measure, now pending was ig-
nored by the Democratic members of
the upper house of the legislature yes
terday and a motion to indefinitely
postpone consideration Of the bill was
adopted by vote of % to 81
All the Republican senators with
one exception. and the only Progress
sive senator, Mr.. McConaha, represent
ing Wayne and Union counties, voted
against the motion.
Senator Walter Chambers of Henry
county, who is also Democratic chair
man of the Sixth district, voted for the
motion. He is opposed to transferring
control of political parties from boss
controlled conventions to the voters
He said he was elected on an anti-pri-
mary platform.
II confess l am greatly in favor of
good primary law and 1 think the ma
jority Of Richmond Democrats also
are" said c. o. Smith, Wayne town.

:tion and Cancellation in labor disputes

house today amended so as to elm
mate only Discovery Day and New
Years day. If passed, the bill will
mean thousands of dollars to saloon
men OF the state as it would permit
them to sell liquor openly on those
days.
With a view to striking a medium
that would be acceptable to all parties
concerned. the committee having in
charge the proposed workmens' COM
pensation law, handed down their re-
port in the house today. The new bill
is practically the same as the one pre-
sented earlier in the session by Repre-
sentative Sare.
The measure fixes a schedule Of
fifty-five per cent of the average wage
of an injured workman to be paid by
his employer, with a miximum benefit
of $4,000. 1t fixes the minimum COM
pensation at S. a week for total dis
ability. The bill would create COM
mission Of three members at a salary
Of $4,000 year each. The bill does
not include the state insurance fea-
ture contained in other compensation
measured offered this session, the COM
mittee deciding that this feature
created an unnecessary expense.

ing among the followers of Isaac Wal
ton, fishing may be forbidden in Nor
ton lake for another year.

said that fishing should not be allowed
until May 1, 1916. The ban on fishing

other year.

not permitted to until maps of the
city showing streets included, are
filed with the state and approved. The
revised maps have been made.

Taxicab Rates.

The taxicab company's reduction in
hourly rates is approved by the pub
lie utilities commission, but there is
no mention of any reduction of the
trip rates, which are of greater in
terest to the public. Comparatively
few persons engage a taxicab for
hour services, while many are more
or less dependent upon this form of
conveyance for short trips, such as
to the railroad station. The COM
mission has the matter under advise
ment, pending some settlement of the
question of jurisdiction, and mean
while the local patrons of the taxi
cabs wait for a change in the sehed-
ule that will bring Washington to
the point of reasonable charges. De-
lay means continuous extortion. If
the taxicab companies are wise they
will forego the advantage of reten-
ton of the higher rates during this
period of consideration and gain in
creased custom by an immediate re-
duction of the trip rates. Expert
ence elsewhere has been that rate
lowering has brought larger use of
the taxieab, and such will undoubt-
edly be the case here if the companies
bring their schedule down.

G. A. r. Week Decorations.

Already some of the business
houses are beginning to decorate for
the Grand Army eneampment, but
probably not until next week will the
city start to show its gala dress for
the occasion of the encampment.
Judging from preliminary announce
ments, there will be very general re-
sponse to the invitation to trim up
the capital in honor of the men who
fifty years ago closed the campaign
for the preservation of the Union.
Preparations are being made for the
entertainment of great throng of
people, not merely the veterans of
the civil war, but members of allied
organizations and their friends and
those who will take advantage of the
occasion to visit the seat of govern
ment as tourists. 1t is due to them
that the city put on its best appear
ance. In these decorations the use of
the national flag should predominate,
and so far as possible the flags should
hang undraped and unfolded as ban
ners and not as mere fabrics.

but made only commonplace Presi-
dent. He was a northern democrat
under the influence of the slave
power, and his failure in ofhce was
inevitable. He had but one term.
Then came Buchanan. almost as
foxy as Van Buren, but not foxy
enough for the emergency he en-
countered. His failure as President
was complete and pathetic. He turn
ed over the country to Lincoln with
civil war on the very eve OF break
ing out, and which. when it did break
out. lasted four full years.
This brings us to Cleveland, who
had three nominations and two terms,
and left Office with his party dis
rupted and the country in welter of
business depression and discourage
ment. While in power Cleveland
carried himself with supreme conf
denoe, antagonized many men, but
attached others to him warmly. His
friends hailed him as greater than
Jackson. But he has not been hold
ing that place, or any like it, in later
appraisements; and here is the judg-
ment by a very competent man which
leaves him out of the party val
halla.
Was it Rip Van Winkle who ex-
claimed, How soon we are forgot
when we are gone? 1t was old Rip.

A Memorial to the Signers.

A proposal to erect in this city a
national memoI ial to the signers OF
the Declaration of independence, ad-
vanced some tilae ago in letter to
The Star, has attracted favorable at
tention, and is now being widely dis
cussed. Such movements are neces-
sarily slow in development, but there
is so much merit in this project that
it should be accelerated by patriotic
impulse. In 1926 will occur the one
hundred and fftieth anniversary of
the signing, and that year will be
most appropriate for the dedication
of a monumental work designed to
commemorate the services of the men
who proclaimed American liberty in
the days of colonial struggle. Eleven
years will not be too long time for
the task of fund raising and construc-
ton, as the history of the Lincoln
memorial proves. In another part of
today's Star is letter which con-
tains suggestions as to details that
indicate the possible scope of the
work. Statues of the signers, with
appropriate bronze medallions and
portraits and depictions of scenes of
the great fight for independence, are
indicated as suitable features of the
memorial. A wide opportunity would
be thus afforded American sculptors
for truly national expression of art.
An effort should be made at the next
session of Congress to secure 1egis-
lation looking to the beginning of
the preparations for the memorial.
Patriotic societies of all kinds,
throughout the country, should inter-
est themselves in tho matter and pre-
sent petitions for the assumption of
the undertaking by the government.
If this can be accomplished there will
be ten full years for designing and
| construction.
