man ESCAPES DEATH
UNDER CAR WHEELS
William RhOades Falls in
Front of Fast Moving
Street Car.

Crew and passengers Of an east
bound car which left Eighth and Main
streets at 11:45 o'clock this morning
received a shock which caused every
one to hold his breath.
William Rhoades, who lives east Of
the city, furnished the thrill. The car
was approaching Sixteenth street at a
high rate of speed. Rhoades had Just
mounted his bicycle. He slipped on
the icy street and sprawled in the
center of the tracks ten yards in front
OF the car.
The motorman applied brakes
promptly and at the same time
Rhoades rolled as quickly as possible
away from the tracks. The watching
crew and passengers believed the
grinding Of the brakes at the spot
Rhcades was last seen. was caused by
the car running over him. As all
jumped to their feet, the man was
seen to stand up.
The bicycle had skidded away from
the track when Rhoades fell and was
not damaged. As far as could be
learned, the most serious results were
the shaken nerves of the man and the
witnesses.

mond Ring and Stickpin
and $500 Letter of Credit
From Chicago.

Just before the bells chimed farewell
to 1914, A. J. Spute, who owns a fruit
ranch in Washington, near Seattle, was
about the unhappiest man In Rich
mond. The woe begone expression of
his face was in sharp contrast to the
smiling countenances of the revelers
on Main street.
But this morning while the heads of
the jewellers throbbed unmercifully.
Spute was enjoying the happiest new
year day in all his life, for purse con-
tanning money, jewelry and other
things to the value Of at least $4,000
was returned to him by Waldo Lacey,
who found 1t wide open on the side

Lacey admitted that at first he
thought the purse was a false bait to
lure suckers" but, when no one was
looking. he reached down and picked
it up. Then he found a secluded place
and nearly tainted when he found the
riches the wallet contained. Spute's
ed him in hotel.
Take half Of all that's in the
purse" yelled Spute delightedly. But
Lacey would only accept a valuable
pearl stickpin, which Spute forced up
on him. Spute then declared that La
cey was the original honest man that
that old fellow hunted for with Ian
tern SO long ago"
Contents of PURSE
This was all that Pputes purse con.
tanned: $40 in bank notes, diamond
stick pin, a pearl stickpin, ticket
from Richmond to Tampa, Fla, and
return to Seattle, Wash, via Chicago,
and a travellers check for $500, which
anybody could cash at any bank with
little difficulty
Police officers searched vainly for
the purse last night but Lacey had
found it before the search began
Spute, however, was grateful for the
assistance rendered him by the police
and today told Chief Goodwin that he
intended to keep the members of the
department and Lacey supplied with
fruit raised on his ranch every year.
Mr.. Ppute was visiting at Rails
backs west Of the city yesterday
afternoon and a member of the fam
lily drove him to town. He thought the
pocket book might have jolted from
the buggy on the way to the business
district where it's loss was first
noticed.
He declared last night that he was
sure he lost the valuables and they
were not stolen from him.
The police were notified Of the loss
and kilograms were sent out which
would prevent the use OF the railroad
ticket and the letter of credit. Ar
rangements were also being made for
the detection of the diamonds II any
attempt was made to dispose of them
Mr.. Spute expected to make the
trip to Florida winter resorts in a
few days and was making q side triI
to Richmond from Chicago.

DIPLOMATS AWAIT
ENGLANDS ANSWER
TO U. s. PROTEST
Believe Nation Will Acfept
Note in Friendly SIiritlaz,d
Ameliorate Shipping Con
ditiOns.
TBY LEASED WIRE.7

WASHINGTON, Jan. ALL doubt
that the negotiations between the
United States and Great Britain on
the treatment Of neutral shipping will
be conducted in the most friendly
spirit was removed today by the pub
lication Of the text of the American
protest on the subject.
The note clearly is neither sharp
nor warlike. and emphasizes the state
ment that the United States does not
invite disagreeable controversy with
England. At the same time, diplo-
mats in Washington believe that 1t
will have excellent results.
Keen interest was shown in the
note by members of the Latin-Ameri-
dence that the United States is going
to press vigorously the rights of all
the neutral nations in the case.
The Latin-American nations have
suffered equally with the United States
from the rigid policy Of Gr.at Britain
regarding shipping, and they believe
the situation will be remedied by the
position which the United States has
taken on the subject They think it
will serve as a precedent to establish
the rights Of neutrals in this as we'll
az in future wars.
The reply OF Great Britain to the
American note is awaited eagerly At
Washington. It Is believed that the
London government will not admit
that she has been wrong In principle.
but will consent to tighten the appli-
cation Of this principle. and will give
shipping the benefit of any doubt that
may surround the destination Of car
goes.
