Paris Editor, Held
on Sedition Charge,
Ends Life In Cell

PARIS. August 21-Miguel Almer-
eyda, editor of the Bonnet Rouge, who
had been arrested on a charge of Sc
dition, committed suicide according
to the report Of three nledico-legal ex-
perts which was sent yesterday to
Rene Viviani, minister Of justice.
NJ. Viviani's inquiry showed that Al
mereyda had thrice tried to kill him
self with his shoe laces. The head
warden of the prison was degraded
and transferred and two assistants
we're removed for, leaving the shoe
laces in the cell, contrary to prison
regulations.
The prison doctor was placed at the
disposal of the military authorities
for making a false report while the
chief prison doctor was dismissed for
accepting his subordinate's report
without verifying it.
Almereyda was found dead in pris-
on last Wednesday. His friends at
first refused to admit the hypothesis
of suicide but it gradually became ev-
ident that he had strangled himself
with pair of shoe laces.

Miss Gertrude Cheney of Oak Park,
who declares swine will soon sup
plant dogs and cats as household fav-
ortes and aid nations food supply.
CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-The unpreju-
diced and broad-minded reader must
admit that the above nice pig looks
quite as smiling thoughtful and proud
as the average Pobingese, and twice
as well-meaning as a Boston bull.
In fact, the pigs owner, Miss Ger
trude Cheney. SIT South Kenilworth
avenue, Oak Park, declares that it is
the vanguard of a troupe Of noble and
long misunderstood swine that are to
supplant the yapping dog and the
pesky cat as household favorites.
''In it's early YOUTH she says, "the
pig is as lively and amusing as a
young puppy. and in its mature years
note this well, 1t is worth $40 hun
dred pounds on the hoof. Every house
hold should keep one, particularly in
war time when the national food sup
ply should not be fed to domestic
animals who are of no use to the coun-
try. Why have lap dog when pigs
are so costly?"
And the pig said, "Oui, oui!" show
ing how strong the Allies stand at the
Cheney home.
Or it may be that the pigs are be-
coming cultured since they came into
money.

SATURDAY MAY
Be GOODBYE DAY

Saturday, September I, may be Sc,
lected as the date for the celebration
in honor of the 254 Richmond men
selected for the national army, mem
bers of the committee in charge OF
arrangements said. Tuesday
Monday, September 3, was the date
first selected but it is believed more
people will participate in the celebra-
ton if it is held on the preceding
Saturday.
Governor James P. Goodrich will be
unable to attend the celebration be
cause of other business, it was learned
Tuesday when the committee received
a letter from the governor. The gov
ernor corfgratulates the people Of
Wayne county in planning a celebra-
ton in honor of the men selected for
service.
The celebration will be one of the
largest ever held in Richmond. Every
one in the city and county is urged
to participate and automobile owners
to decorate their machines and enter
them in the procession.
A finance committee composed of
Mayor Robbins, Frank Taylor and E.
]. Weidner will raise between $500
and $500 to finance the celebration.

Michaelis Expected
to Approve Pope's
Note In An Address

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 21.-At a
meeting of the main committee of the
Reichstag called for today Chancellor
Michaelis was expected to declare the
pope's peace note in general accord
with the Germans government peace
proposal of December II, 1916, and the
recent Reichstag resolution on the
same subject and therefore to be SYM
pathetically received in Germany.
Germany cannot, however, discuss
details and under no circumstances
can it enter into a discussion of the
status of Alsace-Lorain as a part of
the German empire. The chancellor,
according to this forecast, will say
that as Germany has earlier indicated
its desire to make peace the first word
must come from the other side.
A meeting of the bundesrat commit
tee on foreign affairs had been called
for yesterday in Berlin under the
craftsmanship of the Bavarian premier,
Count Hertling, to discuss the situa-
ton created by the pope's note and
to approve the lines of Chancellor
Michaelis' speech to the Reichstag
committee today.

ATTORNEYS MAY
SHY AT Office

Richmond lawyers may shy at the
city judgeship if the bill is passed, ac-
cording to Paul Beckett.
AS the ordinance now reads the at
torney elected TO fill the office Of city
judge will be compelled to devote his
entire time to tn place, and will be pro-
hibited from practicing law in other
courts.
The salary has been fixed at $1,000
annually.
Attorney Beckett intended being a
candidate if the measure was passed
as it was originally drafted. which did
not set out that the official would de-
vote his entire time to that alone.
Recommendations that the amend
ments be made were first made by
Prosecuting Attorney Strayer, who
claimed the ordinance was plum" as
it was first drafted, because it did not
set out that the candidate for the
office must be a practicing attorney.

nounced that he will be a candidate for

nance is drawn up, so long as the

DRAFT BOARD
TO CALL OUT
SECOND LIST
OF 1863 MEN
Examinations for Compile
ment To Be Held Next
Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday in Court House.
SANE RULES TO APPLY

Notices to 168 more men, those
whose order numbers are from sos to
672, inclusive, will be sent out by the
Richmond district national army board
ordering them to appear for examina-
tion on August "a, according to an an
nouncement made Tuesday by Chair
man Carr.
These men will be examined on next
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
This number was determined by the
members Of the board after practical
ly all of the claims for exemption had
been heard, and it is believed that the
greater part of the county's quota may
be made up from this number.
Total Now Is 2o5
Approximately 140 men have been
certified to the district board as hav-
ing passed the physical examination
and waived exemption claim. In addi-
tion 10 this number, there are about
65 married men that have been passed
temporarily by the local board, and
these bring the total to 205 men from
the first 504 called
roT LHe NfSL quota. 1ne county VIII
have to have 279 accepted men ready
for service, as the rules of the govern
ment are that each district shall fur
nish ten percent above it's quota, to be
held in case some of the first men are
rejected in camp, or by the district
board.
Same Rules In Force
The same rules for exemption will
be enforced for the second call as for
the first. Persons receiving notices
to appear for examination have seven
days after the filing of the notice to
present their claims for exemption,
and ten days after the fling of the
claim to present further affidavit of
proof to support their claim.
Several claims for exemption will
not be passed up on by the board until
| Thursday, it was announced Tuesday.
These are mainly those claims where
! further proof of wife's dependency
on her husband are presented and
those from whom the board will ask
| personal explanation of certain parts
Of their claims.

COUNCIL SPEEDS
ITS ACTION ON
FACTORY MATTER
Ordinance for Appraisal of
Newman's Hill Passes
Judge Measure Proceeds.

The two big issues before the city
council Monday night, the city Judge
ordinance and the ordinance providing
for appraisal of the Newman's Hill
property wanted by the Commercial
club for the Indiana Portland Cement
compan, were disposed of in hurry.
The Newman's Hill ordinance
passed all three readings, with only
slight objection to its passage, and the
city judge ordinance passed second
reading with absolutely no discussion.
A letter from Alfred Bavis was read,
in which he told the council that he
was not the originator of the city
Judge idea, and was entirely indiffer-
ent as to whether it became law or
not.
Frank Is Absent.
Frank Strayer, prosecuting attor-
ney, who had promised to make talk
on the ordinance, did not appear.
Members of a delegation from the
Eighth ward, who supposedly were in
tending to talk against the ordinance,
did not accept an invitation to speak,
extended by Mayor Robbins
Strongest objection to the New
mans Hill ordinance was made by
Watson P O'Neal, and its strongest
champion was Joseph Waterman.
O'Neal did not believe, he said, that
the city should give an option on the
land at the price suggested, $1,000, as
it might have increased in value since
it was bought.
Profit Not Question.
Waterman said that it was not a
question of profit by the city, but that
council should do everything possible
to bring the cement mill here. Many
householders near Newman's Hill had
given options to the cement company
for exactly what they paid for their
property, and he felt the city could af-
ford to do the same thing
The ordinance, providing for the
appraisal of the land by three disin-
terested persons, then was passed
unanimously.
A comfort station for Richmond was
suggested to council by L. A Handley,

LEAPS FROM
FIRE ESCAPE

William Payne, so years old, wide
ly known negro, jumped from the fire
escape on the third floor of the Gar,
field school building on South Twelfth
street to the pavement, about rh0 feet
shortly before noon Tuesday. He was
dead when picked up.
Payne climbed up the fire escape to
see a friend that was working in the
building and after talking for a few
minutes went out on the fire escape
and called back that he was going.
An effort was made to catch him by
the other men in the building, but they
could not reach him in time to prevent
the jump.
Payne jumped from the platform
head first, and alighted on his right
side. His face was badly crushed and
his right arm was broken. The body
was taken to the establishment of
Doan and Klute.

Ear of Corn Brings
80 Gents In Chicago

CHICAGO, Aug. 21-A member of
the corps of food administrators for
Illinois today called attention to the
wide differences in the price of corn
on the cob received by the producer
and that paid by the ultimate consum-
er in Chicago.
1t was pointed out that commission
men we're paying 16 lac a dozen ears,
or one and third cents an ear.
Retail grocers sold it at forty cents
a dozen or three and a third cents an
ear.
At the leading hotels and restaur-
ants the vegetable brought thirty
cents an order of one ear, while at
the moderate priced eating places it
could be had for fifteen cents an ear.

Hogs Are Riding For
Fall, Says Shuriey
as They Touch $3.50
After the rise, then the fall.

This is the belief of Jerome Shurley,
manager of Glen Miller Stock yards,
in reference to the present high price
of hogs Best heavy hogs were quoted
at $3.50 a hundred pounds on the
local market Tuesday.
This is $3.50 above the previous high
record, reached in 1912 when hogs
touched the S12 mark.
The stock will not maintain this
price long. however. according to Mr..
Shurley. Already eastern markets are
showing signs of breaking, and with
the appearance Of new corn on the
market, hogs will become more plenti-
full and the price will drop.
