Pennsy Promises
Elimination of
Grade Crossing.

Elimination Of grade crossings in
Richmond along the right-of-way of the
Pennsylvania lines is a possibility
but distant one.
This statement was made today by
a representative of the railway COM
pany when the company's petition for
putting down two additional main
line tracks over the Fifteenth and
Sixteenth street crossings, as a part
of the yard extention project, was
brought up for consideration.
The company advised against the
substitution of gates for the watch
man system, claiming that crossings
were better protected by watchmen
than by gates. The board authorized
the putting down of the two additional
tracks.
In the discussion the board was in
formed that it was probable that with
in few years the railroad company
would probably eliminate all grade
crossings in this city by elevating It's
tracks.
The board today authorized the pur-
chase of a Ford car for the street
commissioner.

March 26.-The shattered French

Countless French flags fluttered in
the sunshine from both ruined and
half ruined homes and the women, old

through such a long ordeal Of captiv-

dress revealed itself even in such pa

could find.

NEW YORK, March 26. - Elihu
Roots reasons for believing in the per-
formance Of the popular government in
Russia are expressed in message
read at a mess meeting held last night
to celebrate the success Of the Russian
revolution. The former secretary of
state predicted that the Hohenzollerns
and Hapsbergs would follow the Ro-
manoffs.
"The first question" said Mr.. Root,
'is the admirable self-control which
the leaders OF the new government and
their followers as we'll have exhibited.
That Is the supreme test of people
capability for self-government. The
second ground for my confidence Is

FROM AMERICA
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. March 26 The
American liner st. Louis, first armed
American ship to cross the Atlantic,
has arrived safely at her destination,
Secretary Daniels announced today.
Information as to the arrival of the
steamer came to the navy department
from the officers of the American line
in New York. The company wished
to make known the fact to relieve the
anxiety of those having relatives or
friends on the vessel. Secretary DAN
iels approves such action. No details
Of the trip were given in the COM
pany's report.
The st. Louis, owned by the Ameri-
can line, left an American port on
March II with thirty-one passengers,

zens. Among her crew of 1894 persons
were 131 Americans.
