RICHMOND SHOWS
Loss IN BUILDING
IS OrTE OF MAJORITY--NOR
SHOWING Is GOOD
ONE.

The monthly report Of building OPP
erations for 107 of the leading cities
of the United States for the month of
January shows that seventy-three
cities ID losses. as compared with the
same month of the preceding year,
while only thirty-four went forward
and showed an increase. Norfolk is
reported in the column with those
showing losses. but the percentage of
loss is so very small that the printed
report leaves the percentage column
for Norfolk blank. AS matter of
fact. the actual percentage of loss
for Norfolk in the month of Janua-y-
1915, from January, 1914, is less than
one hundredth of one per cent.
Richmond shows loss by com
pariso~ of January from the two years
of thfrty-one per cent. The figures
for Richmond are seventy-eight per-
mits and a valuation of $159.S40, and
l2S permits and a valuation of $685.
$40 for January, 1914. The figures
for Norfolk for 1915 are fifty-four
permits and valuation OF s119,s64,
which Is but 1901 less htan January,
1914. when the same number of per-
mits We're issued and the amount was
si20,765.
The range of losses throughout the
country Is from Norfolk. with nearly
nothing, { Reading. Pa, where a fall

talk
! The prize essay follows
/ Text of Essay.
The aim of eevery business man Is
to succeed. He wants to have a larger
and better business. In order to do
this he must have honest and capable
employees. Most men can work bet
ter IL they own some stock in the busi-
ness. With any extra money tenn
perance men can enlarge their inter-
ests. but a man who drinks will
spend all of his money on drink and
have none left for anything else
Owners and managers OF factories
especially do not want drinking men,
because they have to pay for all ac-
cidents that occur In connection with
the machinery. In most cases where
injr- les occur II turns out that the
man was drunk rather than the ma
lchinery being out of order.
"A drinking man does not make
good in an ONCE either, for the sim
pie reason that he cannot think
clearly or work accurately. because his
brains has been made dull with drink
and his whole system has been weak
ened. For sometimes man just start
/ ing out of business thinks il would be
a waste of money TO pay good wages
TO temperate men SO he employees a
force OF drinking men for less money.
When his busy season comes half
of them are drunk and do not come 10
the office. while those that do come are
slow and often make mistakes. As
a result the firm loses much. as most
OF the positions cannot be filed at a
moments notice
Another man starting out In busi-
ness thinks he would rather pay moro
and have better men So he employees
"a force of temperate men. When his
busy season comes all arc present
and work quickly and accurately. Con-
seouently his business increases eeach
year.

DESPOh0ENT ne
TAKES own LIFE
JOHN ELLIS HUTCHINSON; A SUI
eide ON ACCOUNT OF
I'LL HEALTH.

John Ellis Hutcheson, thirty-six
years old, was found dead yesterday
morning with his throat cut. lying
upon the floor of his room at AIS East
Grace Street. with his neck over a
bucket which he had placed there to
catch the flow of blood from three
gaping wounds. A razor was founu
lying at his side.
Dependency over i'll health Is be-
lieved to have been the cause of his
act. His body was found about $3.50
o'clock, when his aunt. with whom ne
resided, went to his room on the sec
ond floor to can him. She found the
door locked and knocks at the door
failed to elicit a response.
Dr. f. w. Gee. of 416 East Grace
Street. was called. and after break
ing down the door to Hutcheson's
room, found him lying upon the floor
dead. Coroner Taylor was summon
ed. and after an examination, he held
that IL was a case of suicide. The
coroner also decided that Hutchinson
ended his life soon after retiring to
his room at 10 O'Clock the night be-
fore.
Until Ill health compelled him to
give up all work, Hutchinson had been
employed by Alvey Brothers, at 1904

GERMAN PRESS TAKING
SANER VIEW OF SIITATION

Berlin. Feb. 1.-THE German news
papers continue to comment ON the
recent notes addressed by the United
states to Germany and Great Britain
in much the same strain they did at
the outset. but without the bitter
less None hint at the possibility that
the note will cause Germany to modi
~ its declarations, and nearly all in
sist that the tone of the coumupi-
cation to London was much too mild
The most reassuring comment
comes from the Lokal Anzeiger. the
sefni-ofhcial organ. 1t says In part:
1t is evident that the United States
Is pressing the matter with the same
forcibleness in London as In Berlin.
The British have now been told fairly
and squarely that the entire respon.
sibiiity is up To them If American lives
or property are sacrificed through a
misuse of the flag. There is no diff
ference in the tone of the two notes. -
me Tages Zeitung declares that the
Unite States. with helpful care,
leaves England a convenient door OF
escape. Why do not the neutrals
with the United States al their head
demand of all warning parties that
they follow the London decla ration II
all particulars" this journal asks.
In the event the British North Sea
blockade would become imperative
the contraband question would bt
controlled internationally. and tbs
course OF action Germany intends tx
pursue after February IS would M
longer be necessary"
The editorial concludes: THE
United States should take this ster
the reason that the expressed purpose
of the declaration OF London is the
protection IF the rights OF neutraIs."
Another Opinion.
The kreuz Zeitung says:
The American note properly takes
the British government to task for
the contemptuous misuse of the
American flag, course which mem
aces the safety of neutral shipping
Therefore. II is more difficult to I'M
derstand what the American govern
ment wants OF us The German peo-
pie will not be able to forget either
the question addressed to us. or the
form of ts1eir asking. Our position has
not changed in the slightest degree
since February 4th. The United
States has two WAYS TO protect her
self from farm. The first is TO stop
Great Bri'ain's misuse OF the Ameri-
can flag. and the second is to keep
her ships and people ara contraband
of war out of the war zone. If she
adopts ttlis method she viii not only
avoid harm, but bring the war to a
quick end"
