COlORED man CUT
IN NORTH END FIGHT

About three years ago Green Parks,
colored, got into row with white
man, Sam Wieland, in the rear of a
saloon. His friends, Arthur Saunders,
offered to champion Parks cause and
as a result Saunders was murdered,
Wieland ripping open his throat with
a knife. Parks fled. Later Parks
married Clara Saunders, sister of the
murdered man.
Last night Parks earthly existence
was almost terminated with knife.
He met a negro named Carl Keyne,
of Muncie, at North Thirteenth and F
streets in company witha woman who
the police believe was Parks wife.
Parks created scene and handled
the woman very roughly.
When Keyne demonstrated Parks
hurled stone at him, whereupon
Keyne attacked him with a knife,
opening up wound extending from
the left ear down the left side of the
throat which required ten stitches to
close. The wound was a very deep
one. An hour later while walking
along North Sixth street in search of
9 doctor the police found Parks.
After he received medical attention
he was removed to the hospital
Keyne was found in a North Twelfth
street boarding house and arrested
on charge Of assault and battery with
intent to kill. Parks wound is SER
ious one but he is expected to recover.

existing paved street mileage which
will cost approximately $4,000 were
authorized and contracted for this year
does not mean a curtailment Of similar
improvements the next two or three
years.
II anticipate that the city can pro-

Bavis of the board of public works
said today. 'If necessary permanent
street improvements on almost as ex.
tensive a sca4e as put through this

and another bond issue would not be
required"
Mr.. Bavis mentioned the fact that
the appropriation for permanent i'm
proven.ents this year amounted to only
$4,000. Next year he thought this ap.
preparation could be increased to
$4,000 as no exceptional expenses
would be incurred.
Fund Shows Balance.
This year the city had a $500 ap-
preparation for the crematory extens-
ion, only $4,000 of which was used, and

Cost of Paving intersections
Comes From $4,000 Ap-
propriated as Share of I'm
pr0vement Plan.
MORE AID PROMISED
Officials Expected to Apply
Forty Cents Per Square
Yard to Relieving Property
Owners.

1t has been generally understood -
property owners on streets which are
to be permanently improved this year
that the city would apply 40 cents per
square yard to the cost assessed
against each property owner. the 40
cents representing what it would have
cost the city per square yard to mac
adamize the street. That the city
would do this was also represented to
property owners by board members on
several occasions.
II developed at the special council
meeting last night, called for the pur-
pose OF considering an ordinance au-
thorlzing $4,000 bond issue to meet
the city's share of the cost of perma-
nent improvements, that out of the
amount appropriated by the city as its
share OF the cost of each street i'm
provement the expense of paving
street and alley intersections, which
the city pays for in full. must be first
deducted. Whatever is left of the
appropriation, after this has been
done. is then applied to the relief of
the property owners.
Means Discrimination.
This, city officials admitted today,
constitutes discrimination among
property owners assessed for perma-
nent improvements. Under this sys-
tenn only 20 cents per square yard can
be applied to the relief Of property
owners after the cost of paving street
and alley intersections has been met
out of the city's appropriation for the
paving of the street in question In
other instances 80 cents per square
yard is possible and. in some cases.
40 cents a square yard can be applied
to the relief of the property owners.
An example of this was cited by
Councilman Howells last night The
bid for bricking South A street was
$1.75 a square yard. The total cost
Of paving the eleven blocks will be
$36.462, and the city has appropriated
$1,000 as its share of the. cost, or ap-
proximately half of the total cost.

tions which have to be laid for out of

Pays for Intersections.
On North A street the bid to as

square yard. The total cost for i'm
proving the eleven blocks will be $685.
462, and the city's appropriation is
$4,000, or less than one-third of the
total cost. But the city will pay for
the Fifth and Ninth street intersec-
tions out Of its share of the cost for
paving of those two streets, and two
other intersections are already paved,
at Seventh and Eighth streets. So
the city will only have six street inter
sections to pay out of its North A
street appropriation, half the number
it must pay for on South A street.
and there are also less alley intersec-
tions on North A street than there are

BASEBALL POOL
PUT UNDER Ban
BY POLICE HEAD
Chief Goodwin and Pr0secu-
tor Order Lottery on Re-

Following in the wake of a nation.
wide crusade against baseball pools,
Chief Goodwin today announced that
lie had ordered agents OF a local or.
ganization and of Pennsylvania com.
pany, known as the keystone" to stop
selling pools in this city. He said that
so far as he had been able to ascer-
tain his orders had been complied
with.
The Chief also admitted, however,
that other baseball pools were being
sold in this city.
I'VE have been making thorough
investigation" Prosecutor Keller said
today, "and every baseball pool scheme
will be stopped in this city if it is pos
sible to do So"
Easy for Agents.
One of the most popular and profit
able baseball lotteries being conduct
ed by an eastern concern which pub
fishes a weekly sporting paper in con-
rection with its enterprise. Patrons
of the lottery pay thirty cents a week
for this publication and in return re-
ceive a ticket giving combination
of teams in the National, American,
FeQeral ana American ASSOCldllOu
leagues. Daily prizes are given to
combinations making high and low
scores and weekly prizes are also
given, the holder of the combination
making the highest score during the
week receiving $1,000. )
These baseball lottery tickets and
copies of the sporting paper, it is un-
derstood, are distributed by express
to avoid any possible conflict with the
federal postal regulations.
Looks Up tho Law.
Whether the promotion of this big
lottery game can be legally stopped in
Richmond is question Prosecutor
Keller is now investigating.
Baseball gambling has been all the
rage in Richmond since the opening
of the league seasons. Thousands OF
dollars worth of pools have been sold.
Local promoters of these schemes have
reaped a rich harvest as evidenced by
the number of men who daily gather
about the tickers in saloons and the
score boards in cigar stores and pool
rooms, marking down on their tickets
the scores made by their teams.

COUNTY KNOWS
CITY DEMANDS
STRONG BRIDGE
Commissioners Forced to Act
by Hodgin's Order Closing
as Unsafe Span at Twelfth.

Between the ultimatum of the city
building inspector and the stern dis
approval of the countcl council against
too rapid improvement and the conse-
quent tax rate increase, the county
commissioners today began to study
the situation created by Harry Hodgin
when he ordered the North Twelfth
street bridge closed to traffic.
A session of the commissioners was
held with County Bridge Engineer
Mueller who declared the bridge dan
gerous to heavy travel. corroborating
Building Inspector Hodgin's opinion.
Asked for an opinion on the matter,
Bridge Engineer Mueller said a new
concrete structure of ornamental de-
sign, adequate in strength and size
for years, could be built for $4,000.
The proposed bridge will be fcrty-eight
feet in width with probably a thirty
foot roadway.
The construction of this bridge next
year would not cause any bonds to be
issued, if the general bridge construct
ion in the county is kept to a min
imum A five cent levy would bring
sufficient tax returns to pay for the
proposed bridge.
Comes Before Council.
The commissioners decided to bring
the situation before the special county
council session next Saturday when
the South Side bridge report will be
made. The commissioners will ask
the council to provide an appropria-
ton in the budget which will be made
up later in the summer II such a
promise cannot be secured next Satur-
day another attempt will be made at
the regular September session when
the budget is passed on finally.
1t was decided that to repair the
fridge would cause greater dissatis-
faction than to leave it as it now
stands because repair work would
mean a still longer delay in securing
a new bridge. The comm: ssioners
construed the act of the building in.
spector as a demand by the city for a
new bridge.
The new situation over the Twelfth
street bridge will not interfere with
the plans for the South Side bridge.
Engineer Mueller has practically COM
pleted his report which he left at New
Castle today. He will spend next
week at his office in Richmond work
ing on Wayne county bridges.

Austrian Troop Trains Pour
Men and Artillery From
Carpathians to Meet New
Foe at Trieste.
EVACUATED ROVERETO
Put up Stubborn Resistance
Against Attacks of Italians
North of IronzO River at
Monte Nero.

GENEVA, June 5.-Now that the
Russians have been driven from the
strong positions which they had gain
ed in the Carpathian mountains dur
ing the winter, the Austrians are shift
ing artillery and troops from the east
ern front to meet the Italians. Troop
trains bearing infantry. guns and am
munition have arrived at Leibach, be-
tween forty and firty-five miles north
east of Trieste.
The Austrians are stubbornly de-
Tending the roads to Tolmein
The Russians are running short OF
ammunition in the southwestern thea
ire of war and their troops at some
places are becoming mutinous. The
Austrians have cut off telephone and
telegraphic communications with Swift
zerland.
The Austrians are reported to have
evacuated Rovereto after practically
destroying the city.
Rovereto is in the Adige valley, fif-
teen miles south of Trent. 1t was Of
ficially announced several days ago
that the Italians had captured heights
north of Ala from which they could
dominate Rovereto with their guns.
The hardest fighting Of the Austro-
Italian war is in progress around
Monte Nero, north of the Isonzo river,
between Tolmein and Caporetto. AL
though the summit is in possession of
the Italians, the Austrians are still
holding strong positions, and General
Count Cadorna, chief of the Italian
military staff. is pouring fresh troops
and artillery into the battle.
Artillery duels are raging in the
Alps on the Friuli frontier in spite of
thick fog, which makes accurate shoot
ing very difficult.
