BUSINESS men
To FIGHT BOOST

Every business man IN Richmond
whose business would be affected by
the proposed raise in freight rates on
Indiana railroads is asked by Secre-
tary Albus of the Commercial club to
meet Monday morning at 10 o'clock in
the Commercial club rooms.
The men will discuss the situation,
agree on what they believe is fair
rate, and volunteers will be asked TO
go to indianapolis with Albus Tuesday
to attend the meeting of the Public
Service commission to fight the raise.
The Monday meeting was called by
a gathering of several Commercial
club members who met at noon Friday
in the Y NJ c. A. to decide on action
to be taken.
Increases asked for in the rate raise
from 100 to 300 percent of the present
rate, and would apply on both carload
lots and less than carload.
A ton of first-class freight, which
can now be shipped between Rich
mond and indianapolis for seventeen
cents, would cost over forty under the
new rates, and the increases in other
classes are in proportion.

Suffragists Peeued
Over Assertions of
Mere Man Opponents

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. Stirred by
assertions made during the recent ar
guments in the law suit to test the
constitutionality Of the Indiana WON
ans suffrage act. that the cost Of per-
hitting women to vote would be a bur-
den on taxpayers, and that it would
cost $4,000 or more additional if they
vote in Marion county alone, a meet
ing of women interested in suffrage
has been called here next Tuesday. 1t
will be held at the home of Mrs. j. F.
Barnhill. Among the things to be con-
sidered will be ways of refuting the
argument of those opposed to suffrage.
Among the speakers will be John A
Lapp, of the bureau of legislative in
formation. The women already have
pointed out that among the tax pay
ers in Indianapolis is one woman who
pays more than the $4,000 a year in
taxes, mentioned in the argument.
They say there are many more women
tax payers in the state who pay an
nually much more than the cost of per-
hitting women to vote.

MUSICAL STARS
REPEAT SUCCESS

The Chicago operate company COM
pleted their conquest of Richmond Fri
day, scoring two pronounced successes
Friday afternoon and evening.
Miss Amy Neill, violinist, and Miss
Margery Maxwell, soprano, shared the
honors of the evening program, both
being very popular.
Miss Neill received three calls to re-
turn after her splendid presentation
of a Schubert number and her last
number was almost as we'll received
as the first.
Miss Maxwell was recalled twice af-
ter her aria from Louise and gave
for her encores a piece by Lohr, and
Cadmans Land of the Sky-blue
Water"
Mr.. Schultz, with his well-done pre-
sentation of "Mephisto's Serenade, %
with an encore which he said was for
the little folks and Miss Pringle
with her brilliant Spanish dance by
Pepper scored the other greatest in
dividual successes of the evening.
The trio and quartet numbers were
also much applauded. AS on the pre-
vious day, Mr.. Nelson's beautiful &C
compartments added much to the solo
numbers, and he was especially good
in the piano part of the ''Eligie" by
Arensky, played by Miss Neill, Miss
Pringle, and himself.

ing.

of eats among the boys on the chau.
tauqua gates?

stuffs, pies. cakes, soft drinks. water
melon, oranges, and dozen of other

dinner; while the south rests its claim
on five big watermelons and musk
melon or so.

listening to Miss Bewley with your
eyes shut? She is so good on presenta-
ton of masculine voices that unless
you're very critical, you can easily i'm
agine the men speaking.
Feminine members of the Chicago
Ops all practiced war economy while
they were here, and spent their spare
time busily knitting. They had at
tempted to teach the men of the COM

Romanoff Family
Arriues at Prison
Home Unhera!ded

PETROGRAD, Sept. I. - Nicholas
Romanoff, the former emperor of
Russia, and his family are now living
in fourteen room apartment on the
second floor of a large old fashioned
house at Tobolsk, Siberia, according to
reports just reaching Petrograd.
Nicholas and the former empress each
have a room, two rooms have been
put aside for the four daughters and
one for Alexis. the former heir ap-
parent.
The other rooms, except the dining
room, kitchen, reading room and so
forth, are occupied by the servants.
The house is without garden and the
only way of getting fresh air is from
a small balcony.
The new home of the Romanoffs was
not ready when the family arrived and
they were compelled to spend two
days aboard the small steamer on
which they travelled the last fifty
miles down the Tobol River. The for
mer empress and her daughter Olga
rode to the house, while the other
members of the family walked.
The day of their arrival was a holt
day and few persons saw the new
corners except for a small crowd which
had assembled to watch priest con-
duct the usual ceremony of blessing
the house for it's new tenants. The
guards of the former royal family are
mainly cavaliers of the Order Of St.
George, and fusiliers, and the family is
virtually under the same mode of life
as at Tsarskoe-Selo.
Nicholas has asked permission to
engage tutors for the children. The
mother herself, will attend to the re-
ligious instruction of the younger ones.
to move the family to Tobolsk.
