TO ABOLISH
CROSSING At EIGHTH

"The Pennsylvania railroad is ready
to meet the city half way in the con-
,struction of an over head crossing at
Eighth and North e Streets said
George LIE Boutillier today 1T is only
a question of time when every railroad
crossing will be an overhead crossing"
he said.
The railroad company already has
plans prepared for an overhead cross
ing at this place and the city officials
have been told by the company that
any time they are ready to consider 1t,
they will confer with them and seek
to come to an agreement. The cost
has never been estimated.
The most practical kind of cross
ing would be one in which the street
would run under the tracks. This
would give the railroad company OPP
portunity to expand In the future.
Plans that take this into considers
ton are the ones held by the company.
This is the only ultimate method OF
preventing railroad crossing accidents.

LONELY LIFE LEADS
GIRL TO END LIFE
ON FARM NEAR LYNN
Noza Horner Takes Paris
J.. Green and Dies Shortly Af-
ter Physician Tries to Save
Her.

LYNN, Ind. Aug. 5.-Becoming des-
pondent because of the lonely life she
led on the farm, twenty-year-olde Noza
Horner, daughter of Anson Horner,
living four miles northeast of Lynn,
committed suicide yesterday after
noon by taking Paris green.
Living in the country and seldom be-
ing seen in Lynn it is thought that
the young woman brooded over her
lonliness and decided to end her life.
She was left alone yesterday and
found a package of Paris green that
was used to kill vermin and swallowed
its contents. She was found in semi
conscious condition with the powder
by her side.
Dr. Cox, OF Lynn, was hastily sum-
moned. The girl was still alive when
the physician arrived and seemed to
understand all that was going on. DR..
Cox questioned the young woman as
to why she swallowed the poison but
she either could not or would not re-
ply to his inquiry.
She died few minutes after the
doctor arrived. s.s
Arrangements for the funeral have
not yet been made.

Government Considers Max
ing Richmond Terminal for
Mail Clerks Following Rail-
roads Change of Shops.
PROPOSAL IS REVIVED
New Arrangement Would
Bring 100 Mail Clerks and
Families to City, Beck An
nOunceS.

AS the result of the absorption of
the Vandalia lines by the P. C. C. &
St L. it is highly probable that the
Postoffice Department at Washington
will change the terminal point for the
runs of the railway mail clerks from
Indianapolis to Richmond. Postmas.
ter Beck said today that he has re-
ceived information that this is being
considered by the department and
that the proposed change in the oper.
ating schedules of the Pennsylvania
railroad out of Richmond will un-
doubtedly have weight with the post
office officials
Several years ago, when E. NJ. Haas
was postmaster, the department talk
ed of changing the terminal of the
railway mail clerks ending thir runs
at Richmond instead of Indianapolis.
When Indianapolis heard of the ru-
NOR several men went to Washington
because OF their influence with the
state senators, they managed to hold
indianapolis as the terminal.
Richmond is exactly half way be-
tween Pittsburg and St.. Louis, the
distance to either city being approx
mately 315 miles Richmond is the
only city of any consequence near this
half way point and it would mean an
economic saving as we'll as a great
convenience to the clerks themselves
to have the terminal point changed
from Indianapolis to Richmond.
AS it is at present, many of the
railway clerks have to run from St.
Louis to Richmond and then dead
head" back to the terminal at Indiana
polls. The run from Indianapolis to
st. Louis is not nearly as long as the
run from Indianapolis to Pittsburg and
consequently the postoffice depart
ment is losing money in the payment
of the clerks.
If the change is made, it will mean
that more than 100 mail clerks with
their families. will make Richmond
their home.

Fate of Mexico Hangs in Bal

Latin America Meet With
Lansing.
ALL SIDES VIEWED
New Division of Mexican Af-
fairs Complies Reports
From COnsults at Points in
Mexico.
BY JOHN NEvIN.
News Service Staff Cor
respondent.


WASHINGTON. Aug. 5.-The fate
of Mexico hung in the balance today.
While the diplomatic representatives
of Latin-America and Secretary of
State Lansing discussed a program for
the restoration of constitutional gov
ernment in the blood-stained republic
the army and navy was getting ready
for any eventuality.
General Fred Funston was holding
all of the forces under his command
ready to move any where along the
border to check maurading bands and
to enforce any embargo that may be
decided on. Another battery of artil.
lery was en- route from Fort Sill to
Ell Paso and cavalry regiments at sew
eral points had been quietly tipped
that they might get marching orders
shortly and to hold themselves in read
mess.
Withhold Opinions.
Although the conference between
Secretary Lansing and the South
American diplomats was not scheduled
to commence until 2:3O o'clock, the
state department hummed with activ-
ity throughout the day. The newly
organized division of Mexican affairs
had compiled all of the reports receiv-
ed from American consular represen-
tatives at every point in Mexico. These
confirmed the reports that there was
general suffering everywhere from
lack Of food. Paul Fuller. Sr., inves-
tigator extraordinary for President
Wilson, was in conference with Sec
retary Lansing, explaining some of
these reports and amplifying others.

Finley Mount, Receiver for
NJ. Rumely Company, An
nounces Negotiations With
Company in Hamilton.
GOES OVER GROUNDS
Believes Purchase by Pennsy
Railroad Would Mean Bet
ter Conditions for Rich
mond-ROad Fails to Bid.

Negotiations have been op-
ened by the American Foundry
and Machine company of Hamil-
ton, O., one Of the largest man.
ufacturing concerns in south
western Ohio, with Finley P.
Mount, receiver for the M.
Rumely company, for the pur-
chase of the foundry building of
the local plant of that company.
This statement was made by Mr..
Mount today. He spent greater
part of the day in Richmond in COM
pany with A. Ballinger, a representa-
tive of the big Hamilton corporation.
Mr.. Mount and Mr.. Ballinger in COM
pany with s. e. Swayne, representing
the Richmond Commercial club, spent
several hours making an inspection of
the foundry building at the Rumely
plant and it is said that Mr.. Ballinger
was very much pleased with 1t.
Foundry Is Cramped.
The American Foundry and Ma
chine company is greatly cramped for
foundry space, and if it takes over the
local Rumely foundry it would proba-
bly, give employment to a large mum
ber of moulders.
"In no event will I dispose of the
Rumely plant in this city piecemeal,
that is, sell one building to one party
and another to second party. The
plant must be disposed of in its entire
ty," Mr.. Mount declared today. What
hope to do, and there are satisfac-
tory prospects of it being accom-.
plished, is to secure definite and &C
ceptable offers from different people
for every building composing the
plant. These offers would then be
turned over to the Commercial club of
this city and it would arrange to pur.
chase the plant as a whole, in turn
disposing of the buildings to the var.
ious bidders. Three or four Richmond
concerns are after sections of the
Rumely plant. l have received no Of
fer from any party for the purchase
of the entire plant"
HAS the Pennsylvania railroad in
timated to you that it would like to
take over the local Rumely plant?''
Mr.. Mount was asked.
II would like to see that company
secure the property. It would be a
good thing for Richmond" Mr.. Mount
replied, but up to the present time
have not been approached by repre-
sentatives of the railroad with any of.
fer for the property
The American Foundry and Machine
company was interested in opening
negotiations for the Rumely foundry
building by Secretary Haas of the
Commercial club.
Mr.. Haas also stated today that he
had received another communication
from an out-of-town promoter who is
trying to interest large manufac.
turing concern employing over $500
men, in purchasing the local Rumely
plant and transferring its business to
this city.
This project may not materfalize,' .
Mr.. Haas said, ''but there are some
prospects that such a deal may be
successfully consummated. The pro
moter writes me that he will have a
conference with representatives OF
this company in day or two and will
then come to Richmond to confer
with representatives of the CONNER
cia1 Club"
