makes it practically absolute that two
German submarines now rest beneath
British waters.
Late In February wreckage, suppos-
ed to be submarine was picked up Oft
Christiansand, Norway. At the same
time 1t was reported that the U-16
had been sunk after making an un.
successful attack upon the cross-chan.

To Be Tried as Pirates.
The arrival of the crew of the sub
marine US in England brings to a
climax the controversy led by Lord
Charles Beresford over whether or not
such prisoners shall be treated and
tried as pirates. Lord Charles has
strongly advocated such action because
OF the nature of the German submarine
war against English shipping. The
officers and members of the crew of
the U-8 are being detained in. Dover
castle. It had been said that the U-8
was sunk yesterday morning, but the
German seamen declare that the YES.
sci was not attacked and sunk until
last night. They declared that two
shots were fired at the U-8, the first
but the second damaged the
submarine to such an extent that she
had to be abandoned at once. The US

WOMEN OBJECT TO
VOTE CURTAllMENT
Write Letters to Wayne
County S0lons in General
Assembly.

Women Of Richmond and Wayne
county are much incensed over the at
tempt of the legislators to strike out
the clause giving women right to vote
on liquor and other referendum ques-
tons and as result it is estimated
Senator McConaha, Representative
Mason and Representative Judkins
have received about 200 letters each
since the suffrage bill was introduced.
Mrs. Roscoe Kirkman of the w. C.
T. U. and the Franchise League, said
today the women are taking this
means Of notifying the legislators Of
their duty. The letters do not as a
rule contain arguments but they only
ask the Wayne county representatives
that they vote as the majority OF the
people OF the county are belieyed to
sympathize.
The ten w. c. T. U. organizations in
the city and county are represented by
the letters received by Wayne county
representatives. There are more than
200 members in the five unions in
Richmond The suffrage association
with a membership Of more than 100
Is also a part Of the movement and the
members are corresponding in behalf
Of the suffrage bills.

7 READING CIRCLES
START DRAMA STUDY
Six More Branches of Drama
League Expected to Begin
Work Soon.

Two of the eight reading circles
which have been formed by members
of the local Drama League, have start
ed to read plays recommended by the

week
There is no Formally about the or
ganization Of the circles, and the work
is done under the direction of a leader
who is assigned to organize the circle.
Miss Bertha Hawkins is the chairman
Of the group of leaders, made up of
Miss Edna Johnson, Miss Anna Brad
bury, Mrs A. w. Charles, Miss Edith
Moore, Miss Hettie Elliot. Mrs. w. C..
Bernhard and B. w. Kelly.
A list of plays which are in the Nor

recommended by the National Drama
League, has been prepared, and the
reading circles are supposed to select
their plays from this list. No study
of definite analysis of the plays will
be attempted at this time.

MAYORS REPORT
Continued from page ~

penses the mayor makes reference to.
Last year was the first time in the
city's history that it had to pay for
water it used, an order to this effect
having been issued by the state COM
mission in August, becoming operative
In September
The fact that the city finished last
year with deficit in excess Of $1,000
can not be charged to incompetency in
the conduct OF city affairs, for the
board OF works, under the guidance OF
President Bavis, practiced an unusual
degree Of economy last year.
The glazing fact remains that the
city has completely outgrown its in
come. which has remained almost sta
tionary in recent years, and that future
deficits can be anticipated unless high
er assessed values are placed on tax.
ables, or the city tax rate, which has
remained at 81 10 on the 500 valuation
for several years, is radically in
creased.
Despite the exceptionally large in
crease in city expenses in 1914 over
the previous year, the city's income
from taxes, $16O,214.16, was only an in
crease of $4,635.36 over 1913.

taching them to the posts with art
brackets. The remainder of the ex-
pense was to be assessed against ben
Gifted property owners.
Since that time the circuit court at
Fort Wayne has ruled that the city
must bear the entire cost of cable SER
vice for ornamental street lamps, as
the cable service is a part of plant
equipment and must be charged to
the capital account Of the plant, which
Is the basis for rate making.
Mayor Wants System.
Richmond cannot afford to pay the
entire cost of such a cable service"
Mayor Robbins said today. Il would
like to see such system installed in
the business district of Main street,
not the entire length of the street, and
in section CT the north end business
district. However, the Commercial
club, now that the street lighting bill
Is dead, must give us an absolute guar
antee that the major part of the ex-
pense Of installing ornamental lights
will be borne by the benefited prop
erty owners. / have not determined
yet what percentage of this cost the
property owners should pay. That
will be taken up later We will do
nothing that is likely to involve the
city in legal tangle."
That the mayor anticipates some
satisfactory arrangement can be en-
tered into for the installing of orna-
mental lights is shown by the follow
ing statement contained in his report
on municipal activities, made public
today:
1T is our desire to install an orna-
mental system this year along the
streets in the business portion of the
city"

DEFENSE LEGION
GAINS STRENGTH
AMONG CITIZENS
Ex-Soldiers and Sailors of
City Expect to Affiliate
With Proposed First Re-
serve for Army.

Former members of the United
States army and navy and Of militia
organizations who reside in Richmond
and Wayne county are taking the
keenest interest In the plan for or
ganizing an American Legion, an.
nounced under the authority Of Gen.
eral Wood, former chief Of staff, in
New York this week This legion Is
to serve as first reserve to the army
and navy in the event IF war when its
members would be expected to offer
their services to the government and
report for duty at specified points.
Living in this county there are at
least three hundred men who have
served under the colors for Uncle
Sam. either In the army, navy or mil
itia. and who are still fit for active
service. This estimate has been made
by Corporal Abbott, who Is in charge
Of the local army recruiting station.
Able Bodied VIII Join.
When the actual work of organizing
the legion is undertaken it is expect
ed that the big majority of Wayne
county's ex-soldiers and sailors will
identify themselves with it as they
realize how necessary it will be for the
government to have a large force of
trained men available to incorporate
into its military forces as first line
Of defense
Paul Comstock of this city, who
served in the Spanish war as a cap
tain. has heartily indorsed General
Woods plan and said today that he
expected he would be Informed short
ly OF the methods to be pursued in
effecting its organization. Captain
Comstock is also active in promoting
the local organization of the National
Defense League.
What is especially desired in or
ganiZing the American Legion is
corps CT men equipped for special SER
vices, so necessary for an army when
1t takes the field. chauffeurs, tele-
graphists, ayiators, blacksmiths, etc.

Musical Elevator;
Find of Al Brown
Operator of Court House Lift Hopes to Make Riding in His
Car Joy Forever-Gets Idea from Toy Horn Torn
Apart by Child in Play.

Ever hear of musical elevator?
Perhaps you will be able to hear one
soon. Al Brown. court house elevator
operator, says he Is going to work
this original stunt and make elevator
riding a JOY forever.
All day yesterday Mr.. Brown pulled
the lever to the left and right as he
started his car upwards and down
wards. but never q word did he say.
Late in the afternoon he came out Of
his trance.
"Where'd you get the crouch. Al?"
one of his passengers asked.
1--WE got an idea." soberly replied
this original elevator man.
Seeks tho Source.
He then unfolded his plan. One Of
the children in his family received
for Christmas a toy musical instru-
ment which is round in shape and op-
Grated by a revolving handle. This
was a source of much delight to the
young one until its musical strains lost
their fascination and youthful curl
osity as to the cause Of the sounds
set in.
The result is a dismantled instru-
ment, revealing long metal strip cut
with frequent slots which are touched
by a small metal point on the revolv-
ing handle, causing music to tinkle-
tinkle from the interior of the box.
Now I'm going to fasten that strip
along the elevator shaft and put the
point on the elevator" Mr.. Brown ex-
planned. when I slip in the Juice,
the elevator will move and the music
will start. I will get two tunes out of

COMMERCE BODY HAS
A JEW As PRESIDENT

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 16.-The cleo
ton of Jew as president of the At
lanta Chamber of Commerce has done
more to convince the national press
that they slandered Georgia, in the
Frank case than years of interviews
and denials could have accomplished.
The Chamber of Commerce elected
Victor Kriegshaber, not because he
was a Jew, but because he was the
best man in Atlanta for the high office,
and the Chamber of Commerce did not
have the Frank case in the back of
their heads when they ballotted for
president, but the circumstance has
turned out none-the-less happily for
Georgia.
The New York Times says that he
election of Mr.. Kreigshaber "conclus-
lively refutes the impression created in
some minds by the Frank case that
there is in Georgia, and especially in
Atlanta, feeling of antagonism to
Jews as such. Atlanta can now point
TO fact which proves that the bitter
rage of which Frank was the victim
was not the result of his race, but of
the peculiar conditions which existed
in Atlanta prior to the murder of
Mary Phagan and other special condi-
tons which arose during the trial of
Frank"
This is the very point which Gov
ernor John M. Slaton and other loyal
Georgians eloquently but vainly tried
to impress on the world by argument.
Today it stands proven by fate.
