REV. CHILDERS
DIES At HOME
OF MRS. O neal

Rev. William H. Childers, u. for
mer chaplain Of the G. A. r.. a veteran
of the Civil war, and member OF the
M. e. conference Of Kentucky, died at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. w. F.
O'Neal, 442 South Fourteenth street.
early this morning. Death was caused
by paralysis.
A native OF Virginia, Rev. Childers
moved to Kentucky while yet boy
and spent most Of his life In that
state. He was a member OF the Ken
lucky M. E. conference for more than
forty-eight years. He retired from
the ministry about fifteen years ago.
The deceased had been . resident OF
Richmond since last January.
Resides Mrs. O'Neal, the following
sons and daughter survive: Mrs. Jul

maintain the switch track now serv-
Ing the brewery, and the cost Of via
duct approach just to the west OF
First street to provide access to the
structure from First street and the
property Of the Starr Piano company.
There would also be entailed. proper
ty damages on both sides Of Main
street from the C. & o. railway tracks
east, probably as far Is the middle OF
the block between Second and Third
streets. How much such damages
would amount to is difficult for me to
determine, but certainly $4,000 or
$4,000. believe that the county
would have to pay for the lowering OF
the grade as well as building the re-
tanning wall to maintain the brewery s
switch track. This would add much
more to the expense Of q level bridge
Site is Satisfactory.
Mr.. Harrington stated that the To-
cation selected for the South G street
bridge is the most satisfactory avail
able. He stated that saving could
be affected by adopting shorter
arches than three spans would provide.
Il looked carefully over the traffic
requirements of the section of the city
adjacent to G street and conclude that
while at the present moment the
traffic scarcely demands the construct
ion of the bridge, the future develop
ment Of this, the industrial section OF
the city on the east side OF the river,
and the need for easy access to the
cheap lands on the west side OF the
river, together with the probability OF
diverting interurban electric railway
traffic fom the Main steet bridge to
the G street bridge and thus avoiding
congestion on the Main street bridge,
warrant you in looking to the future
and building the G street bridge at the
present time"
Encloses Blue Prints.
Blue prints were inclosed showing a
change of grade in the c. & o. rail-
road at D street which could easily be
made without entailing additional op-
Grating burden to the company.
By thus depressing the railway
tracks an overhead crossing may be
secured at D street without excessive
expense and without excessive grades
on the bridge and viaduct approach.

CARL ACkERMAN
HOLDS RESPECT
OF ALL GERMANS

Judge Alfred X. Nippert, Of Cincin-
natl, revealed the sufferings Of war
ridden East Prussia last night as he
saw them last summer and brought
forth response Of $175 for the East
Prussian Relief fund from citizens
who heard his speech in St Andrews s
school auditorium.
Before the meeting Judge Nippert
met John Alderman, Main street
merchant Judge Nippert told Mr..
Ackerman he had met the latter's son,
Carl. first In Berlin and later In other
parts Of Germany, and had discussed
the standing Of Mr.. Ackerman as a
correspondent with q number of Ger
man officials. The Richmond boy,
Judge Nippert says, stands close to
high German officers and has their
complete confidence.
Judge Nippert likened the Russian
invasion in 1914 to an invasion of In
diana by foe. He said the people of
East Prussia are like the people Of In
diana in interests, pursuits and In
stincts, an agricultural people tilling
rich soil for sustinance, home loving
and God fearing.
