CIVIC ASSOCIATION
Square Deal Predicts That Organization Will Come In For
Roasting Due to Small Labor Representation
In Directorate

Yesterdays edition of the Square
Deal. the newly established labor paper,
had the following to say on the recent
ly organized Civic Association. which
has for It's object the Improvement
of municipal conditions and more eff
ficient municipal government:
THAT thinking citizens and those who
have the best interest and welfare OF
the city at heart are taking deep
interest In discussion anent charter
changes or new charter for the City
of Richmond there can be no doubt,
Everywhere one goes and in all places
where men congregate much is heard
pro and con as TO possible improve
ment of the municipal government. All
OF which goes to show that the change
which created the Administrative Board
some two or three years ago has been
beneficial in at least rousing the ciu-
gems to the possibilities of an inn
proved and efficient administration of
the city's affairs. Mr.. Arthur Glasgow.
of London, England. has also been
doing much of late to help keep the
subject alive, were such help needed.

of great good In the general edu-
cation of the masses on municipal
government.
II is also true that worklngmsn,
organized and unorgantzed, ara as
much interested in these discussions
as any others OF the city's residents.
There seems to be a feeling. though
that the toiiers have not received fair
and just consideration at the hands or
those who apparently are endeavoring
20 have Mr.. Giasgow's plan adopted
in its entirety. Inasmuch an the
changes in government proposed will
affect all the citizens alike. students
and thinkers among the labor organiza-
tions are or opinion that no plan should
be launched with the idea that II will
be accepted by all the citizens just be-
cause IL ss endorsed by a coterie OF
persons who thus srrogate TO them
selves the duty of thinking and plan
ming for all. II seems to be the cen
sensus of opinion. certainly among la
Dor organizations. that matter OF
such importance as this should be con-
sidered long and carefully By men who
represent all classes and conditions of
the inhabitants of the city.

Referring to published statements
ernor stuart was treated with dis

statement was given out yesterday by
Alexander Forward. the governors sec

The Governor left Richmond last
Sunday night for Southwest Virginia,
whore he has been delayed In winding
up some important business matters
before his departure for San Francisco.
Up to the time he left Richmond the
only newspaper reference to the al
legged lack of courtesy. so far as the
governor or I knew. was a few lines
appearing in the Richmond Evening
Journal referring TO the failure OF
University newspaper correspondents
and of the Charlottesville daily paper
to notice the presence of the governor
at the finals. This was the matter con-
corning which the governor declined to
talk for publication before leaving.
II feel fully authorized to say that
the governor endorses most heartily
the very able and successful adminis-
tration of DR. Alderman as president
of the university. that he regards DIR.
Alderman as a warm personal friend.
and that he brought away from the
university nothing but the kindest per-
sonat feelings toward him and the
pleasant recoilections or fine delight

THE governor does not know per-
sonally all the professors at the uni

now regards a number of them as

SHERIFF SHOOTS IN
DEFENSE AGAINST NEGRO

whose identity has not been estab-
iished was shot by Deputy Sheriff A..
w. Gillette. Mr.. Gillette was going
along the railroad on the south sI6e
of the river near to Taylor.s ware
house when he saw the negro In an
empty coal car. He called to the
negro to come out, which the negro
did, but had his hand in his hip
pocket, Mr.. Gillette held his pistol on
the negro and told him to throw up
his hands. but instead the negro
pulled out pistol and commenced
firing. The negro fired twice and Gill
lette five times. The negro was NOR
tally wounded at either the first or
second shot. bullet penetrating his
bowels. He died in about twenty
minutes.
The two were standing less than ten

seems as IL Mr.. Gillette was extremely
fortunate that he was not struck Mt

"A fair method Of determining the
amount Of support that is being given
bv the different states to their state

cation is to find out the amount OF

sary to levy on each thousand doll
lars of property in the state, esti-
mating the propef., at It's actual ana
not its assessed value Figured in
