BERLIN PREDICTS
ENClAND'S REFUSAL
TO END BREAD WAR
TBY LEASED WlRE.1

BERLIN, Via Amsterdam, March g.
THE decision now rests with Eng
land. Germany has shown her good
faith and desire to protect the inter-
ests of neutrals. If England wants to
do the same, let her act at once and
accept the suggestions made by the
United States. 1t is needless to say
that we do not expect her to do SO. We
trust to the fair minds of Americans
and other neutrals to bring in a just
verdict
In the foregoing words a high Off
cial of the German government today
predicted the failure Of the American
government to effect a compromise
between England and Germany,
through notifications of the formers
bread war" and the latter's subma-
rine campaign. He then cited the
statement made in the British parlia-
ment yesterday by Foreign Secretary
Grey as forecasting the attitude to be
taken by England, saying:
"Sir Edward Grey served notice on
neutral nations in that statement that
England would not listen to the Uni
ted States or any other nation unless
it joined Great Britain in it's warfare
against Germany. Is 1t possible for
Americans to misunderstood British
motives? We do not think So"

Attending Doctor Believes
Man Shamming Insanity
and Intent on Keeping Past
From Hospital Force.

Louis F. Miller. or Lawrence
F. Mitchell, residence not known
and only recently discharged
from the United States Marine
corps, has created such a reign
of terror at the Reid hospital
that Chief Goodwin last evening
detailed Detective Lambert as
night guard for the man as long
as he is an inmate of the hos
pital. In the meantime the po-
lice have begun an investigation
of the mysterious Miller's rec
ord.
Miller was sent to the hospital about
week ago suffering from a fracture
OF the skull, caused by fall off a
street car, which he tried to board
while it was in motion. The accident
occurred five minutes after Miller's ar
rival in the city At first it was be-
lleved Miller had been fatally injured.

recovered within short time. He is
one of the most magnificent specimens
of manhood ever received at the hos
pital. also the most unruly, vicious and
mysterious.

M'C0NAHA BILL
TO RECEIVE 0. K.
FROM Governor

Best news received at the city
hall today was the fact that the
house of representatives had
passed Senator McConaha's bill
which will permit the city of
Richmond to benefit from the
surplus earnings of it's munich
pal plant each year, if it. so de-
sires. This bill now goes to the
governor for his signature.
AS B. B. Johnson, private secretary
to Governor Ralston, has promised to
be the bills friend in court" the city
officers are not apprehensive that the
governor will veto the measure
Under the new law it will be, the
duty Of the state utilities commission
to determine the amount the city can
divert from the plants earning in the
municipal general fund. 1t is antici-
pated the commission will decide the
city is entitled to at least six per cent
of the plants investment as its in
come from the plants annual earn
1ngs, and will establish this as fixed
charge against the plant.
President Bavis estimates that the
minimum valuation of the municipal
plant is at least 100000, and if such a
valuation is fixed by the commission
when it has it's hearing to fix joint
rates for the two Richmond electrical
plants, the city would receive from it's
utility $4,000 year, on a six per cent
basis.
AS the city has now completely out
grown its annual income from ordinary
sources, as shown by the mayors re-
port Of $1,000 deficit last year, the
addition Of $4,000 each year to the
general fund will be most acceptable.
Within year or two when higher
assessments on taxables are provided,
yielding the city large revenue, the
city's income from the municipal plan
will be the agency for reducing the
city tax rate, city officials predict.

Members Willing to Sell Only
North Half of Church
Property to Local School
Board.
WHOLE SITE WANTED
Growing Needs for Larger
Quarters I1npsfzAcquisitioEr
of New Site for Future
Structure.

The proposition of the city
school board for the purchase of
the entire block owned by the
North A Street Friends church
was turned down by the congre-
cation last Sunday. Members
said they were willing to sell the
north half of the property, but
the school board believes this
will not be large enough to ac-
commodate the growing needs of
the high school in the future.
The school board is looking forward
to the need Of the high school in the
next five years. and for this reason
realizing also that present quarters
are too hampered, seeks the acquisi
ton of a site large enough to meet
conditions that are sure to arise.
The school board approached the
committee of the church two weeks
ago with a proposition to either buy
the property at a reasonable figure
or that the church deed the property
to the city with the understanding
that the school board would erect {
public building in the center Of the
block and utilize the grounds for {
park and play grounds.

ing the Turkish army engaged while
the Russian Black Sea fleet can at?
tack the forts guarding the eastern en-.

Dispatches from Rome reiterated the
news of yesterday that the Russian

fifty ships, was steaming southwark at
full speed toward forts kilia and Poir-
