ALDERMAN MARK GuNST
DENIES ALLEGATION
Says Charges Made BY Writ Quaries,
of Highland Park, Without
Foundation.
ADOPTS VOTE OF CONFIDENCE
Council Committee on Streets Ex-
presses High Opinion of Lee Ward
Alderman, Attacked In Highland
Park Meeting.

Taking the floor on a question of
personal privilege at the meeting of
the Council Committee on Streets last
night. Alderman Gunst, of Lee Ward,
expressed himself.
He referred to an article which had
been printed In The Virginian and in
the Evening Journal, in which refer
ence to himself had been made. He
read the article from The Virginian.
II notice here" he said, that Mr..
Writ Quarles. of Highland Park, says
that the Northside people cannot get
anything from the Street Committee,
because l am a member of that COM
mittee, and 1t Is rumored that / own
the property at Seventh and Broad
Streets. and will use all my influence
In the committee and in Council to
keep the proposed rerouting of the
Highland Park line from Fifth Street,
and keep it at Seventh and Broad.
Il want to say" said Mr.. Gunst.
that everything said by Mr.. Writ
Quarles. in reference to myself, is abb
solutely false and without foundation.
asked Mr.. Quarles to be here to-
night, but he Is not here. I reiterate
that what he said In his speech at
Hisseland Park, so far as I am con-
cerned Is false, and he should have
been here tonight to speak for him
self"
Rev. DR.. s. H. Templeman. of High
land Park, stated that he was present
at the meeting in Highland Park, and
that he was chairman of the gather
ing. He said Mr.. Quarles did say that
1t was reported that Mr.. Gunst owned
the property at Seventh and Broad
Streets and that was why he opposed
the rerouting OF the cars to Fifth and
Broad.
| DR.. Templeman said the people of
Highland Park were widely separated,
and did not know what they wanted,
and he hoped the committee would
solve the question.
Councilman English. Just before
adjournment, moved that vote OF
confidence in Mr.. Gunst be taken. He
declared that in the number OF years
Mr.. Gunst had served the people no
aspesions could be safely cast upon
him. He was above reproach and
transacted all tho matters of public
import with a clear conscience
The motion was unanimously adopt
ed after Councilman Moore and Sub
chairman Sullivan had added tributes
to what Mr.. English had said.

action he would take, Wnlcn was
unanimously approved.
Meanwhile the premier has an
nounced that the government of Ire
land has been taken over by the
lords, acting under the general direo-
ton OF the central government. Inn
mediately upon Premier Asquith's an
nouncement that the home rule meas
ure would be postponed, John Red
mond. the Irish nationalist leader,
arose and asked If the government
had decided to abandon the terms OF
the agreement reached with the Irish
party. based on the proposals made
by David Lloyd-George, and II 1t was
determined 10 insert in the bill new
proposals without consulting the ma
tionalists. Premier Asquith replied
that this agreement was subject to re-
vision and the approval OF the cabinet.
Two main points. he said, had been
accepted by both tho unionists and
home rule factions He said the union
lists had agreed that home rule should
be brought into Immediate applica-
ton and the home rule section had
agreed to six Ulster counties should
not be brought in without their con-
sent.
Mr.. Redmond obtained leave TO
move an adjournment in order to call
attention to the rapidly growing un-
rest in Ireland owing 10 the fact that
the government did not propose TO
carry out In It's entirety the terms sub
mitted for the temporary settimen,
accepted by both Irish parties He
said the exact words Of the agreement
were plain and unmistakable.
The bill should remain in forac
during the war and for twelve months
afterward." he said. adding that in
order to meet Sir Edward Carson's Oh
tections the following provision was
added:
III Parliament has not by that tine
made further permanent provision far

remain in force and be extended the
next time 70 make such provtsion."

Hit by Waters Following Recent
Rains--Action of MIR. Bluford's
Force Stays Serious Condition.

Threats of another food came to
the jewellers of the bottoms last night
when there broke over the city almost
cloudburst.
Rainfall of the last three or four
! days caused Shockoe Creek to swell
| to breaking proportions and led
investigators yesterday and last night
to look into a situation that promised
to do damage almost, If not quite, as
great as was done on August. | and 3,
one year ago, when several Main
Street structures collapsed, Main
Street business between Fifteenth and
Eighteenth Streets was paralyzed and.
| for two days, street car traffic was
nearly abandoned.
What the investigators Of the after
noon and night learned was that there
will be no repetition of last Augusts
| floods unless there is unusually heavy
rainfall today or unless the James
River. now swelling rapidly as a re-
, suit of voluminous rains upstate, rises
over its banks. Findings here, coupled
with reports from points above Rich
mond on the James, give an optimistic
turn to flood indications, and the be-
lief held among students OF river
action, last night is that danger of
immediate flood conditions Is passed

1t was learned yesterday afternoon,
however that a serious condition ex-
lists along the Shockoe Creek valley
between the plant of the Locomotive
/ Works and the river. Inquirers fol-
! lowing the course Of receding waters
in Shockoe valley found that an arch
! over the creek at Marshall Street, be-
! tween Fifteenth and Sixteenth, was
cracked. An upright brace of steel,
a support OF the big viaduct, rests
! either on or near this arch, from all
appearances, and the vibrations due to
passing overhead cars indicate that
the viaduct may be made unsafe II
rains continue heavy.
Continued heavy rains will drive the
population Of the bottoms to higher
and safer sections OF the city. Some
or the inhabitants. practically all OF
whom are negroes, sought higher
quarters yesterday and welcomed the
invitation extended them by Chairman
Hjrschherg. of the Administrative
Board, to go to the City Home, where
relief is being given.
