NUISANCE CHARGES
AROSE FROM SCRAP
IN NEICHB0RHOOD

AS a result of an investigation di-
rected by Mayor Robbins the charge
against Albert j. Pickett, South Tenth
and 3 streets. that he created a public
nuisance by throwing all kinds of rub
bisb on the street and sidewalk on the
~ street side of his first floor apart
! ment, will proba bly, be dismissed. The
charge was filed by l.. III. Posther and
appears to have been the result of a
neighborhood row.
Pickett had been placing ashes ON
the lot in the rear of his apartment
because the landlord had not secured
a receptacle. The charge that he
threw all other kinds OF rubbish about
the premises appears to be unfounded.
"Posther and my landlord have had
some trouble and ! was made the
scapegoat by Posther." Pickett said to-
day. "Posther has wanted the prop
erty | live in and he has been trying
to cause the owner worry by starting
trouble with the tenants"

Ramony Mather, Irwin Johnson and j.
w. Carnahan, who was delegated by
the general committee in charge of the
"Made-in- Richmond and Automobile
Show" to solicit automobile dealers
and manufacturers for space at the
show. reported this afternoon that
general response has been shown by
the automobile men and the show is
practically assured. The dates for the
show are March 1925 and the exhibit
ors expect to have all the new models
of their respective makes on display.
Several of the dealers have contracted
for over 1000 feet of space, sufficient
for display of six cars.
AS soon as the special committee is
ready to report, the general. committee
will hold meeting, assign places and
proceed with the arrangements for the
show. Omer Whelan, chairman of the

Neasy matter to interest other manufac-
turers after the automobile dealers
have been lined up.

WHY WOMEN
Write LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi-
cine Co.

Women who are we'll often ask care
the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine?" Are they truthful 2"
"Why do women write such letters 2"
In answer we say that never have we
published fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
1t has relieved women from some of
the worst forms of female ills, from dis
placements, Inflammation, liberation,
Irregularities, nervousness, weakness,

GARDNER TO FIGHT
HOUSE LEADERS, POLICY

(Associated Press by Federal Wirelessl
WASHINGTON, D.. c., Dec. 90
Marked agitation in the ranks Of the
Republican party in the lower house
for a conference which would outline
a definite plan for constructive action
has at last taken definite form.
Representative Gardner of Massa'
chusetts announced last night that he
intends to seek at once for confer
ence of the Republican leaders in the
house in an effort to formulate the
party policies for the session.
Mr.. Gardner, who has been in
strong opposition to Republican House
Leader Mann of Illinois, declared that
his latest move has nothing whatever
to do with that opposition, which, he
says, is based upon the belief that
Mann represents "Prnssianism" in in
ternational affairs.
ut is, as a matter of fact, said
the Massachusetts, solon, high time
for the party to be planning for the
adoption of really progressive ideas.
1t is with this idea in mind that |
have begun the WORK of calling con-
ference which will at least enable
those of us who are bent on making
progress instead of standing still, to
voice our views"
