the establishment of readiness-to-
serve charge for sprinkling systems as
one method for increasing its revenue
to the figure it believes it is entitled
to.
Business interests which have in
stalled such systems will represent to
the commission that the proposed
charge would be wholly unfair to them.
1t will be pointed out that these sys-
TENS have been installed at consider
able expense and that the only direct
benefits the various companies using
them receive is reduced fire insurance
rates. This advantage, it will be
pointed out, would be eliminated in
the event a readiness-to-serve charge
was provided.
Present Rates Ample.
City Attorney Bond, who will rep
resent the city of Richmond at the
hearing Friday, will contend that the
present rates are amply sufficient to
provide the company with adequate
earnings. 1t will be pointed out that
because of abnormal conditions last
year, principally because Of prolong-
ed rainy season during the summer.
the company pumped 100000 gal
Ions less in 1915 than it would have
under ordinary conditions.
Because of this the earnings of the
company fell off $4,000. The com
mission will then have it's attention
called to the fact that the water
works company claims its alleged So
900 shortage In earnings 1t believes
itself to be entitled to, is due en-
tirely to an inadequate schedule OF
rates.

ALLIANCE BRANCH
BACKS PRESIDENT

Members of the local branch of the
German-Alliance differ somewhat in
their views relative to the stand taken
by President Keller, of Indianapolis,
who yesterday announced that the
Indiana branch of the Alliance would
ignore the invitation to take part in
the nationwide conference of German
societies at Chicago, May % and 20.
Purpose of the convention will be to
take action to influence the political
parties in the coming political con.
ventions.
The majority of Richmond members
of the Alliance agree with Mr. Keller
that the present situation should not
be made a political issue.

Lehman asked Of Keeper Billiard. who
was ON guard at that hour. Billiard
made am ovasivo answer, but kept "a
close wotch on Lehman. He say the
man ta<e drink from small bottle.
Before the keeper could get IN the cell
20 restrain him Jicbman had thrown
himself on his couch.
Screaming, writhing and Rroaning, he
tossed around. until Hans Schmidt anil
the others IN the shadow Of the electric
chair were awakened
DR.. A. q. Squire. Of Ossining, and
one of the pr on physicians hastered
10 the patient side With the inevitable
stomach pump.
Then 1t was that Liebman began 20
forget ebOu his supposed pains. He
yelled that he was all right. he fought
against the Application OF the StOmacn
pump and begged the physicians 70
leave him alone
When The doctors completed their re-
port to the prison authorities. IL was
discovered that Liebman had not swal-
lowed any kind Of poison, but small
quantity Of vinegar, which he had
drunk from q medicine bottle.

Was smugglcd into the death house. II
Lehman could get vinegar, 1T is be

the chance that he might cut himself
with fragments Of the broken bottle.

he was insane Officers Of Sing Sing, 1t
