City Sergeant y. T. Blick against City
Sergeant John b. Evans made report
OF Its findings in the case to-day The
committee entirely generates Ser
Seant Evans from all blame in the
matter. The report states:
There Is kent at the City Jail a
book in which is entered the names Of
persons committed TO Jail and the day
OF the month on which they are com
mitted. This data Is subsequently,
transferred 10 another book. and then
becomes permanent record. In Sep
TENDER, 1910, two of the dates were
changed on the temporary record. maxi
Ing II appear that several prisoners
were committed a day sooner than
the actual day OF such committal. Tho
error was discovered within two days
thereafter, and the correct entry made
on the permanent record. These en-
tries were not made or changed by Mr.
Evans. and. in fact, were made and
changed at time when he was absent
from the city. AS soon as he learned
OF the error. upon his return to the
city, he made personal investigation.
and endeavored to find out who
changed the entry, but he was unable
TO do SO correct statement was
made required by law. and Mr..
Evans received the proper amount to
which he was legally entitled for the
keep Of prisoners
The charge made was so trivial and
OF such utter nsiEnifcance that your
committee feel that they owe 1T to Mr..
Evans to say that he has been sub
3ected to unjust criticism without any
foundation whatsoever and that he is
absolutely blameless of any wrong
doing in the premises"
The report was approved by the
Judge.

From this statement it will be seen
that the delinquent list aggregates S.

267.33 and that only little more than
$500 is delinquent for which levy could
be made.
The statement was made in the
treasurer's office to-day that the State
OF Virginia has not lost a penny on
real estate taxes assessed in Lynch
burg for fifteen years. There have
been several delinquent lists in that
period. but every time adjustments
have been made that the State has
not had to buy single piece of real
estate here at delinquent sale since
1902
The several tickets delinquent for
1914 on realty Will be settled without
the necessity OF the State buying the
property, so that the slate will be kept
clean on this item for another year.
Lynchburg has held the distinction
for a number of years for small de-
linquent real estate list. and it is
doubtful II there is a county or city
| in the State, however small may be
the tax levy, that will return so
meager a delinquent list upon it's 1914
realty assessment.

IN 0VERCR0WDINC PROBLEM
Professor Dibble Tells School Board He
Is Pleased With Everything in Con-
nection With His New Position, Ex-
cept the High School Building

Professor Howard G. Dibble, new
principal of the Central High School,
in speech before the School Board
last night declared that he "sees red''
for the pupils when he contemplates
the overcrowded conditions of the
building. He expressed the hope of
being able to do something to relieve
the congestion. He thanked the board
for his election and said he is pleased
with the city and with the school, es-
pecially since he has met the faculty
and students.
81 am pleased with everything but
the building" he said, "and you can.
not expect me to be enthusiastic about
that. | am beginning to see red, for
the pupils in the cramped quarters, are
not getting the chance they ought to
have.'
Professor Dibble's desire is to have
a structure better than the Technical
High School building, he said. The
new principal took up his new duties at
the Central High School on Monday.
1t was decided to place the new
Tenth ward school house, at Tenth and
Mahantongo streets, well back from the
street to give room for a park.

At first glance, it seems the whole
graduating world is to be gowned in
net, so completely does the fabric domi-
nate the collection. No doubt, it is the
extremely full skirt that brings this
material so noticeably to the fire; but
regardless of the cause, the effect is
charming in the quaint Empire, bodice
and bolero dresses, showing features
from old fashions such as short, puffed
sleeves and narrow ruffies. Valencien-
mes, filet and imitation Irish crochet,
repeated again and again in the trim
ming, reminds one forcibly of the time
ly revival of these three laces. There
are frocks, too, where heavy embroid-
cry is used in the ornamentation; others
edged with half-inch shirred ribbon, and
here and there model touched with
taffeta. One frock in particular of the
last type has the new laced front
bodice, ripping peplum, and applied
hem of the silk. The guimpe, showing
above and between the lacings of the
bodice; the sleeves, puffed until they
resemble toy balloons and the skirt,
with its entire width gathered in at~the
waist, are of net. A half-blOwn rose of
delicate pink, tackled above the hem,
gives a touch of color, which makes
the net and taffeta seem the purer white
for the contrast. 1t might be we'll to
add here, while speaking of the rose,
that all the frocks have this bit of color
and are named according to the flower
they show. The model mentioned above
is the rose dress; the Marguerite froek
has a chain of daisies around the waist
and the pansy dress, corsage bouquet
of deep purple pansies as the name
implies.
These touches and trimmings are also
carried out in frocks of other fabrics;
introduced, perhaps, to diversity the net
models or for the few who do not care
for such transparent material as the net.
AS the styles themselves hint of old
time fashions so these textures, have
their origin in the modes of from 1910
to 1850. Sheer Swiss, plain and en-
broidered, batiste, point d'esprit or
CANDY and dimi;>' show to good effect
with Valenciennes lace. Only two really
modern materials are used and these
are cotton crepe, and voile.
Since so many of the schools have
set the limit of three dollars for the
cost of the frock, the stores also feat.
ure inexpensive fabrics by the yard,
the goods draped on forms to show the
various styles in which to make it up.
There are dainty cross-barred dimities; !;
Swisses, plain and embroidered batistes,
voiles and crepes for twenty cents a
yard; nets at forty cents come seventy
Two inches wide. The dotted Swiss is
unusually attractive as. one draper ar
ranges it, in an Empire effect. The
trimming is suggested, too. At the
Dutch neck and elbow sleeves Valencis
