William Catlin, of the firm Of Will

Highland Park, had a narrow escape
from death last night at 1880 o'clock,
jumping from his automobile just be-

short distance from the bridge on
North Fifth Street. Aside from being
little bruised and bit shaken up.
Mr.. Catlin was unin1ured. but the ma
chine from which he jumped was COM
pletely demolished.
Mr.. Catlin was returning from his
office at s17 Bank Street. and was
proceeding DOWN Fifth Street, when,
just before he reached the bridge. a
number of children yelled to him to
stop his car. Children In this vicinity
had frequently done this. and. believ-
ing that they were doing II merely
to amuse themselves, he continued on
his way. However. just before reach
ing the structure he discovered that
trolley wire hac broken and was
dangling down from the pole. across
the street. Before ne could bring the
machine to q halt II had touched the
car. The wire was heavily charged
and whom II touched the autom obtle
sparks began nying all around his

FIRE. he jumped. or rather Mr.. Catlin
believes that he Jumped. He says that
the FIRST thing he remembered after
the machine had struck the wire was
seeing the car plunging over the en-
bankment. more than a hundred feet
below.
Mr.. Catiin was shocked when the
car came In contact with the charged
wire. and he believed that II made him
unconscious for a brief period. How
ever. he was all right IN a few min

for his home. Mr. Catlin declares thai
the fact that he wasn't taken over

TURNS OUT FOR WILSON
National Capital Has One Tremendous
Celebration in Honor of Presi-
dents Reelection.

Washington, Nov. 1s.-Woodrow

tonight from Washington. For forty
minutes a parade, with ali the ac-
compartments of score of bands
banners. flags, continuous cheering
and wealth of colored flags, passed
the White House in salute to the re-
sharp. but the weather failed TO keep
a monster crowd at home. The
streets were literally damned from
the Capitol to the White House, in
front of which II was impossible to
move on the sidewalks. The parade
took forty minutes to pass this point.
The President, standing on the
steps of the White House. reviewed
the first section OF the parade. which
passed inside the grounds.
The main section proceeded straight
west on Pennsylvania Avenue, past
review stand where Secretaries
Lansing. Baker and McAdoo sat with
other prominent members OF the ad-
minisfration.
When the long parade was at an
end, a chorus OF Washington people
filed inside the White House grounds
and massed in the north portico OF
the mansion. Mr.. Wilson stood on
the steps with his wife while the
choir sang America" some Virginia
melodies, and then ended with the
-Star-Spangied Banner" The Presi-
dent was in his best mood. He smiled
as II intensely gratified. and his NOV
ing lips showed he sang with the
choir. The national anthem was
sunk with background of wildly
waving flags.
The parade teemed with unique
features. Mrs. Joseph Seal. of Buff

operative Education Association.
Rev. DR.. W. Russell Bowie. rector
OF St. Paurs and president of the Rich
/ mond Educational Association, pre-
sided as chairman. The question of
whether Richmond needed q public
library or not was not reopened.
Those present all agreed that IL
brary was needed and they started
working upon that assumption.
Rev. Mr.. Bowie made the report
Of the library committee Of the Edu-
cational Association showing how IL
braries had been started in other
cities and recommending that the two
possible ways of financing be consd-
cred, viz:
/. Approaching the City Council for
an annual appropriation.
2. Levying tax of one mill on
every dollar as a library tax Such
a levy as this is provided for by the
State law.
The two methods were put before
the meeting for discussion. The COM
mittee agreed that the idea had been
abandoned for the present of erect
! ing a public library building. and
| ii also agreed that as a nucleus part
OF some centrally located business
building. preferably between Fifth and
Tenth. Main and Broad Streets. be
acquired
A mill tax would yield approximate
| ly $4,000 per year. but 1t was OBJ
| jected to on the ground that the peo-
pie would object and become preju-
diced toward the library.
Makes Comparison
| One Of the committee made a very
| forceful statement to the effect that
the City Council had appropriated
$4,000 for stable where there were
no horses; $4,000 for a building OF
| little consequence at the fair grounds.
! and~as the City Gas Works turned in
between 100000 and 100000 an
| nually, 1t would not be taxing anyone
to ask for part OF this profit on gas
toward q public library.
| After much discussion and several
motions. all Of which were in favor
| OF asking for City Council appropria-
lions. the following measure. pro-
posed by DR.. J. A. c. Chandler. su-
perintendent of schools. was unani-
| mously carried:
Resolved. That the City Council be
requested to instruct the finance COM
mittee to provide, in their next bud
get. for an appropriation OF $4,000
with which to start public library

The drill team wore their full re-
galia--white flannel suits with all the
trimmings and things-while the
others wore their regular uniforms.
The occasion was eniivened by the
boy scouts fife and drum corps. while
the red torchlights carried by a num-
Der of the prophets attracted a num-
parade. The Shriners received ova-
tons all along the line of march.
There were all kinds of things In
the parade. including a devil and
donkey. while some one went SO far
AS to bring a goat along. Prophet A.
H. wicks. dressed up in red. with long
horns and everything alse that served
to make him look real devilish. APP

well did he play the part The DEVILS
chariot was driven by Julian Flournoy.
James Woodbridge managed to get UP
sufficient nerve to ride the donkey.
while Prophet Reginald Walker served
as chief custodian of the goat. The
animal was q regular goat and before
the parade was over Prophet Walker
had wished several times that some
one else had been selected to lead this
fellow up and down the street
