ASKS SALOONISTS
TO HELP SUSPEND
TWO BUSINESSES

John Melpolder, secretary of the So
cial Service Bureau, who is actively
engaged in an effort to blot out the
cnly two saloons in that section of
Richmond north of the PENNSYLVANIA
railroad, has written to every saloon
keeper in the city, with the exception
of the owners of the two saloons men,
toned, urging them to support him in
this work Melpolder wants the sa-
loon keepers to urge council to de-
clare the third ward, north of the rail-
road, residential district. His let,
ter reads:
This letter is addressed to you in
the interest of that section of our city
commonly known as "Riverdale" or
"Go0setown," where girls and boys
white and black, native and foreign
are the victims Of demoralizing condi-
tons.
Provides Most Crime.
Though this section has but one
tenth of Richmond's population, 1t has
more than one-third of Richmond's
serious crimes upon the police docket,
and receives more than one-half of
Richmond's charity relief.
While, of course, this crime and
poverty cannot be directly and legally
charged up to the two saloons operat-
ing in this section yet you will agree
that there is greater possibility to
raise the moral and economic stand

on Hill 1878 Contributed
Largely to Ultimate Sue
cess.
CITY TO BECOME
BASE FOR ALLIES
Experts Expect Flanking
Movement to Be Made
Against Bulgar Forces
Near Cerna.

LONDON, Nov. 20.-The Serbians
are given the lions share Of honor by
the morning papers in discussing the
fall Of Monastir. The capture Of hill
1912 by the Serbians and their rapid
advance to hill 1878, threatening the
Bulgarian's only avenue of retreat
along the Prilep road. is considered
the main factor in forcing the hasty
evacuation of the city
Military opinion insists that the al
lies must now advance toward Prilep,
using Monastir as base, and from
there to Negotin on the Vardar From
the latter town they claim that the
Bulgarian positions east of the Cerna
could be out flanked and the frontier
passes opened to the allied forces
which are now engaged northwest of
Saloniki.
The fall OF Monastir is considered
as clearly showing the superiority of
the allies over the Bulgar for
ces In view Of the formidable defenses
which had been created around the
city.

him fall.
His fall was broken slightly by
branches of small tree. When Mr.
Dearborn and other members of the
party reached Stinson's side they be.
lieved him dead. They worked with
him some time before they discovered
signs of life. Mr.. Stinson was remov.
ed to his home here where he was

''Old Jim
Responds
to Alarm

The only former employe OF the City
Of Richmond who has been retired on
pension, to live life OF ease until the
end of his days, is again. Temporarily,
in active service for the municipality.
This pensioner is "Old Jim.' fire
department horse, now about twenty
wears old. Two years ago 1t was de-
cided that "Old Jim" should be PEN
stoned, 80 his name was stricken OH
the active list and he was sent to Glen
Miller park, there to do just enough
light work to keep him in proper trim.
Then. a few days ago, the big team
Of greys at the No. fire department
station was sold as q step incidental
to the complete motorization OF the
fire department.
Team Taken To Farm
The purchaser, A. d. Gayle, presid-
ent of the First National bank. took
this team to his farm so "Old Jim"
and another ex-fire department horse
were called into service to haul the
No. 3 wagon until the arrival OF the
new motor wagon.
When "Old Jim" entered the station
he shifted about with evident delight
and was as skittish as colt. Forty
five minutes after he had taken his
place in his stall and had "bummed"
a chew Of tobacco from his driver,
Jack Coyle, there was fire alarm
Like a bolt of lightning 'Old Jim" and
his running mate dashed from their
stalls and took their places under the
harness. "Old Jim" had forgotten
none OF the tricks Of the trade in his
two years Of easy life at Glen Park
and when "Old Jim" and his other
veteran mate got into their stride the
astonished Mr. Coyle was fearful for
q time that he would be pulled off his
seat.
During the last years Of his active
service "Old Jim" hauled the fire
chiefs wagon.
