One of the suggestions for the pro-

reached.
Invitations from cities in all parts
OF the country are before the Presi-

DIR. Levy Urges General Inoculatioa
to Prevent Spread Of Disease and
Recommends Other Precautions ne
Persisted In.

Improvement In the typhoid fever
situation was especially apparent yes
terday, when only FIVE new cases Of
the disease were reported to the
Health Department, three of which
had been on the suspect list The
other two cases, 1t was said, are dus
to infection some time ago, and which
has just now developed. 1t requires
one to three weeks for the disease to
make its appearance.
There have been no deaths from the
fever since August 6, and physicians
are daily reporting discharged cases
to the health authorities. This has
brought the total number OF cases in
the city at or below eighty. There
are still, however, a number on the
suspect list, and the tests of the blood
cultures may yet show the disease to
be present in many instances.
DR.. Levy stated last night that the
health authorities feel that the water
now being supplied the people is free
from any contamination. the installa-
ton of the chlorinator at the settling
basin having brought the water to-
the highest standard of purity. For
this reason, he stated. any case OF
typhoid that may now appear are due
to whatever impurities that may have
been in the water before the addi-s
tional precautions were taken
Nevertheless, DR. Levy continues to
urge the people to boil the water,
since tests that have been under way
for some time have yet to be COM
pleted. and 1t Is better, in face Of pos.
sible danger. to safeguard this source
The chief health officer is we'll
pleased with the great number of per-
sons who have taken the anti-typhofd

property alleged to have been set on
IRE by sparks from an engine of the

1t was claimed by Mrs. Spates that
on the night of July IA. 1915, sparks
from a Norfolk and Western train
passing her store at Briggs Station
set fire to the building. The railroad
company contends that while passing
the store the train was going down
grade: therefore all the steam was
cut off. which made the flying OF
sparks impossible. The lower court
decided to the contrary. and the APP
peal was taken.

OF the street some time before the
accident. and II was never corrected.
On the night she sustained the in3u-
ries all lights in the netehborhood
were out, and on account of this she
fell into the hole. The city claims
that the road had at no time been
opened UP as street, and that the
defendant was sufficiently familiar
with the condition OF it to avoid the
dangerous places. having been passing
over the road nightly for several
months.

the Commonwealth, on appeal from
the Circuit Court OF Princess Anne
County. the Supreme Court vester-
day awarded a writ OF error and

quantity of corn and potatoes of the
PLAINTIFF which were levied on for his
alleged debts. the lower court having
fined him $50 Spellman claims that

constable 10 satisfy the claims OF his
debtors. the necessity OF feeding his
family forced him 20 take them for

MUNITIONS TAX OF
TEN PER CENT REMAINS
Tlm tines Are Taxed Only whc.i T,ey
Are $1,000 for Single AMI 81 900
For Married Persons.

Washington, Aug. 11.---Democratic
members of the finance committee
considering the general revenue bill
prevented a threatened revolt late
this afternoon by deciding to retain
the House minimum OF $4,000 for
single persons and $4,000 for married
persons, above which income taxes
begin to be assessed.
A tentative agreement to reduce
this minimum $1,000 in each case
raised a storm OF protest. The bill
was submitted to caucus ontght. Az
ter discussing the proposed munitions
tax for days an agreement was reach
ed this afternoon to impose a ten
per cent profit tax on the manufac-
ture OF munitions and a similar OK
else tax upon the manufacture OF
every component article entering into
and used in the manufacture OF mu-
nitions This tax becomes effective
dating back 10 January / OF this year.
and expires by limitation of law one
year after the close of the European
war.
The House estimated receipts ag-
gregating sT2,0o0,o 900 from its NUM-
tons tax. The Senate provision is
estimated to yield $4,000. 900. The diff
ference Is made up by the increased
surfaces on large incomes. the in
creased inheritance taxes. and the
restoration OF some of the stamp
taxes Of the forme< yxar emergency
tax measure. The whole measure Is
expected to provide revenue aggre-
eating slss.o0o, 900. This Is s1l.0o0,-
900 less than estimated for the House
bill.
Salaries OF the proposed tariff COM
mission were increased from $500

FIRST ASPHALT DANCE
ENJOYED BY THOUSANDS
Most Successful Better Acquaintance
Week" Ends Tonight, But Many
Visitors Leave Early.

Officially. Better Acquaintance
Week" does not end until tonight,
there being on the program arranged
by Richmond members of the Trade
Extension Bureau scores of individ-
ual entertainments movie parties and
ball games for today, but a large
number of the visiting merchants,
surfeited with pleasure and with pur-
chases of stock for the fall and win
ter, have already left for their homes
in the Carolinas, the Nirginias and
Georgia.
Thousands of Richmond people
last night Joined with the bureau and
with the Administrative Board. which
co-operated. giving an open-air ball,
in the final regularly programmed en-
tertainment of the week--the asphalt
dance" as it will for long time be
known, on Tenth Street, between
Broad and Marshall Streets.
To the music furnished by Kess-
nich's Band the crowd danced in the
roped area of the closed street from
until 10 o'clock, when a shower
interviewed and dispersed the visitors
and their hosts. 1t was estimated last
night that more than $1,000 enjoyed
the event, either as dancers or spec
tators.
Hobson, of the Administrative Board.
looked after the welfare of the par
Elephants, with the assistance of Maj or
Werner and Captain Sowell and a
squad of police. There were no ac-
cidents nor unpleasant incidents. the
spirit of the crowd being the car
nival spirit, and everyone appearing
happy.
Jeter Jones was the presiding gem
ius, and much of the time he was the
center of the great. moving throng.
Every walk of Richmond life was
in attendance. the gathering being the
most democratic, perhaps ever as
sembled in the city. None found
anything to criticize, and many learn
ed what better acquaintance" means.

year was more successful from busi-
ness and every other standpoint than
1t had ever been, and the closing fea-

be repeated at an early date on a
larger scale.
