Women Ask County to Join
War Against tuberculosis
by Creating Institution for
Treatment.
WANT QUICK ACTION
More Radical Measures Are
Needed to Supplement the
Home Cure Method Now
in General Operation.

The women Of Richmond are not
only determined, through their various
organizations, to do all in their power
to fight tuberculosis but they have
also issued an ultimatum that they will
expect the county government to be
as equally vigorous "in dealing in an
effective manner with the wide spread
and increasing menace of tuberculosis
in this community"
Yesterday afternoon at a meeting Of
the board of managers of the Rich
mond Fed grafton of Womens Clubs
the plan calling for systematic
method for treating consumptiveS in
their homes and to educate non-afflict-
ed members of families of these vic
Tins how they can keep from contract
ing the dread disease, was indorsed
without discussion.
Also a resolution was unanimously
adopted that cit is, or should be, the
work of the government of Wayne
county to cope inte1ligently with the
tuberculosis situation, and that a
county hospital for tuberculosis pa
tients is the best way to cope with it"
and that it is ''the unanimous vote of
the Federation board of managers,
representing $50 club women of Rich
mond, that the Federation is in favor
of such an institution and the in
fluence of this body of women will
be used to support the work of the
Anti-Tuberculosis Society and to aid
in any other possible way"
The members of the Federation
board Of managers are of the opinion
that important as is the work of car
ing for tuberculosis victims in their
homes and preaching the gospel of
prevention a necessary adjunct to such
work is a county hospital where pa
uents in the more advanced stages
can be cared for.
The Federation managers favor es-
tablishfng such an institution on the
grounds of the county inffrmary. A
permanent public health committee
has been appointed to advance the
work indorsed by the managers.

LONDON, Feb. 25- Ger
submarine war against
British shipping has entered a
new phase. It is reported that
Germany is sending a flotilla of
trawlers into the North Sea to
plant mines up and down the
British coast. If the Germans
undertake mining operations
along the edge of the war zone"
the work will probably be car
ried on at night owing to the
vigilance of the air and sea
fleets patrolling the coast wa
ters.
Among the latest victims of the
bread war" are the steamers Rio Pa
rama and Harpalion and the collier
Deptford. A Belgian steamship is re-
ported in distress off the Spanish
coast while two British steamers and
the Spanish freighter Specia are over
due and may have been destroyed
The Rio Parana was sunk off East
bourne pier by submarine. He crew
of thirty men were landed at New
Haven. She was of two tons burden
and laden with COAL
HarpaIion Sunk.
The British steamer Harpalion, from
London to Newport News, Va, was
sunk off Beachy head, and there is
little doubt that she was torpedoed by
German submarine. Three Chinese
members of her crew were killed The
vessel was struck amidship with ter
rifle force and quickly disappeared.
Forty-one members of the crew were
landed, two of them being scalded so
badly that they probably will die.
One life was lost when the collier
Deptford was torpedoed in the North
Sea off Scarborough. No trace has
been found of the armored merchant
cruiser Clan MacNaughton, with 29O
seamen on board, which has been miss
ing for more than three weeks. She
carried naval reservists.

A telegram from Madrid states that

ONE BLOCK ORDERED
Members of Works Body
Agree to Meet Property
Owners to Consider A
Street Compromise.

, Although Mayor Robbins appeared
before the board of public works a few
weeks ago, announced that he had
his opposition to the exten-
sive street improvement program ad-
by council and President Davis
of the board and recommended that
the board adopt resolutions for the
paving Of over forty blocks, mostly in
the central section of the city, the
board in session today authorized the
paving of only one block Of the twenty
five specified in three improvement
resolutions.
So many demonstrators came to the
city building this morning to attend
the hearing that the board held its
session in the council chamber.
Limit Street Work.
Marlatt and McMinn of the board
forced an amendment Of the Ninth
street resolution to provide only for
the paving Of the block between Main
and North A streets. Originally the
resolution provided for the paving of
the street from South A street to
North E street. Marlatt resides on
Ninth street north Of A.
After this action had been taken
President Bavis made a tactical move
which prevented the adoption Of a
motion made by McMinn to rescind
the resolution for the paving Of North
A street from Fifth street to Six
teenth street. Bavis surrendered the
chair to Marlatt and refused to second
McMinn's motion, SO acting president
Marlatt had to declare the motion lost.
Bavis then made motion that the
North A street resolution be referred
to council, but McMinn refused to
second that motion.
Suggests Compromise.
With a deadlock in prospect John
H. Harrington, North A street prop
erty owner. suggested that the board
meet with five property owners living

mise could not be arrived at. McMinn

Misses Haner Find Burglar
in Home and Turn on the
Lights and Lock Doors to
Prevent Escape.

Richmond's mysterious and
elusive burglar, who has clever
ly outwitted every effort of the
police to apprehend him, made
another bold and successful raid
last night.
Early in the evening during
the absence of the members of
the family he entered the home

gold bracelet and an opal and
emerald ring, both valued over

He probably would have gotten away
with more loot but was apparently
prompted to make a hurried departure
when the Misses Lucille and Camilla
Haner returned and heard him walk
ing about upstairs. They detected the
odor of some peculiar kind of matches

| has visited and they saw burned
match sticks strewn about the floor.
Turn on Lights.
There is someone upstairs. but
am not going to leave the house until
l have turned on all the lights down
stairs" Miss Lucille calmly informed
her sister. And they proceeded to do
so. They left the house by the back
door. locking it after them. Before
leaving they also locked the front
door, the only other exit. Hurrying to
the front of the house they saw a man
on the sidewalk and the front door
half open. He proceeded toward Main
street in leisurely manner and
stared at them boldly as he walked
past. No one else was on the street
The young women described him as a
white man, quite good looking, stylish
ly dressed and somewhat stout.
Notify Police.
After the man had departed they
went to the home of a neighbor and
notified the police. A thorough
search failed to locate any man an
swering the description furnished by
the Misses Haner. Mr.. and Mrs
Haner were at church and did not
know of the robbery, which took place
before $3.50, until the police automo
