For their successes on the right and

S0LONS CONFER
WITH PRESIDENT
ON RAIL STRIKE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Legisla-
tive means of meeting counter sug-
gestions made by the railroads of the
country in the negotiations to prevent
the threatened strike were discussed
by President Wilson today with Sen
ator Newland and Representative
Adamson of the interstate commerce
committees
After canvassing the situation for
more than an hour with the president
the congressional leaders declared that
no immediate legislation dealing with
the wage dispute was expected. 1t
was understood, however, that the
leaders talked over the possibility Of
referring the whole problem of legis-
lation to prevent similar crises in the
future to the recently created joint
subcommittee on railway legislation
which has ample authority to inves-
t;gate all phases of the transporta-
ton problem. Senator Newland is
chairman, and Representative Adam
son vice-chairman of this committee.
The conference today was the be-
ginning of consideration of legislative
problems connected with the strike
The congressional leaders said they
would meet the president again after
he had conferred with the railroad ex-
ecutives in the strike settlement ne
gotiations.

CHANGE STATUTE
NEEDED TO uNKNOT
QUESTION OF FEES

Speaking of the mix-up that L. P.
Meredith has had with the State Board
of Accounts over the collection of $34
minor excess fees, Bernard Spradling,
field examiner for the board, said
today that such trouble will continue
until the salary law is adjusted.
"It should be SO that every public
Official receive certain salary and
that only. The fees which are collec-
ted by officials should all go to the
county. AS the law is at present,
part of the fees go to the official and
part of them go to the county. Until
1912 it was hard to decide to which
the fees went and this was probably
the reason why Meredith collected
the excess. This change can meyer
be made, however" said Spradling,
until there is a session of the legis-
lature where both parties are repre-
Sented

MARX TO RUN
FALL FESTIVAL
FOR THIS CITY

H. B. Marx will be employed to
stage the Richmond Centennial cele-
bration, which will be held some time
about the middle of October
Members Of the publicity committee
from the commercial club who attend
Ell the Hamilton, Ohio, celebration
yesterday afternoon and evening
agreed among themselves that they
would recommend obtaining services
of the expert manager.
The main reason that the trip was
made yesterday was to determine
whether 1t would be better to employ
pageant and festival manager to
take charge Of the celebration than
to conduct 1t through various CON-
mittees of citizens.
Marx ConvInces Visitors
BY using the Hamilton celebration
as an example. Marx pointed out that
the manager system was the only log
ical one.
Here is the proposition which he
put up to the members Of the com.
mittee:
North A street will be closed from
Eighth to Twelfth streets Exposition
booths will be stationed all along this
street. Entrances to the festival
grounds will be at the intersections
of the streets between Eighth and
Twelfth with Main street. Concessions
to stands and shows will be sold on
these streets.
The Hicksite Friends church yard
which is large and spacious will be
used for the stage for the big pageant.
An admission OF ten cents will be
charged to the festival grounds.
Local business houses which can
not use exhibition booths will be ask
ed to donate small amounts. 1t is
hoped that by this method, $1,000 can
be raised Marx himself will put into
the fund an amount equal to these
donations This money will be used
for the preliminary expenses. AS his
the gate receipts.
All the money from the concessions
for exhibition booths, stands and
shows will go to the city.
Officials OF the Hamilton CONNER
cial club informed members OF the To-
cal publicity committe yesterday that
their exhibition has been a scource or
revenue. The celebration there Is
being held in the fair grounds but the
local men were advised to plan to have
1t held in an uptown district to bring
the crowds up town and help the busi-
ness Of the merchants,
Marx tends to all the publicity and
writes and supervises the pageant.
Ahout a month before the celebration
he will open an office in this city.
