work on the cooperative plan in two
of the largest and most sanitary shops
in the city, and here and there is a
solitary barber who is not an employ

would hold out. Some of the strikers

Other BARRIERS have secured work at
their trade in other places, and at
least in one instance where the wage
scale is far below the rate in New
London before the strike was inaug-
urated and where the tipping system

higher rate OF wages, All increase in

ing to members Of the san Francisco
geological survey party, which arrived
here from Los Animos Bay today with
corroboration Of the statement Of Jo-
seph Allen Richards. who claimed to
have located the bodies of the American
aviators.
J. Nandergraft and H. II. Crane, Of
the Geological Survey party, brought
teeth taken from the skulls Of the two
bodies found by their party near Los
Animos Bay These were delivered to
army dental surgeons for Identification.
They said one Of the skulls was badly
crushed and the body showed evidences
of stab wounds on the arms
The relaxed position Of one of the
bodies indicated that death had come
while the men were asleep, while the
other indicated by tensed muscles that
a fight had preceded the murder of the
two Americans, the biologists said. The
airplane flown by the aviators was
found 90 miles inland. II is believed
the aviators were forced to land. aban-
doned their plane and walked to the sea
coast in the hope Of tagging a passing
steamer, and then were killed.

clared President Wilson had passed a
more encouraging day, although the
Improvement was not decisive.
Dr. Grayson indicated that he felt
much encouraged by the days progress.
The day was oppressively hot and the
fact thar the president had more than
held his own, despite his respiratory af-
Fiction, resulting from influenza. was
taken as Il hopeful sign.
The bulletin, issued at 1920 p. m. was
as follows.
The president has passed "a more en-
couraging day The improvement is
slight but not decisive"
President Wilson's condition continued
slowly to improve today and his physi-

GOVERNOR
SENDS STATE TROOPS
TO QUELL GARY RIOTS

indianapolis, Ind, oct. 4-Governor
James p. Goodrich tonight ordered elev-
en- companies of state militia to East
Chicago and Gary, where rioting broke
out today as a result of the strike of
steel workers in that district. The
troops will have headquarters in East
Chicago, where 500 of them are expected
to arrive by O'Clock tomorrow morn
ing
They will be under command Of Adj.
Gen. Harry b. Smith.
The governors action followed an
appeal by Sheriff Barnes Of Lake couu-
ty and Mayor Hodges of Gary. The
sheriff reported that agitators were in
citing the striking steel workers to riot
and that the situation was beyond his
control ON account of inability to OBJ
tain sufficient deputies He reported
also that trouble was developing be.
tween negroes and whites.
Gary, Ind. oct. 4-Serious rloting
broke out late today when thousands
of steel strikers and others hurled
bricks and stones, fought the police,
deputy sheriffs and city firemen, in
iuring probably scores The local com
pany Of militia was notified by city Of
ficials to be in readiness for duty.
Pttsburg, Pa, Oct 4.-The strike
zone in the Pittsburg district was quiet
today in apparent anticipation Of de
velUpments Monday, when many mills
which have been shut down by the steel
strike will resume operations, word of
which has come from various sources.
Steel companies continued to make
plans preparatory to opening the plants,
il is said, while union leaders continued
to exert every effort among the steel
men in local plants and in those in the
Pittsburg district to keep them away
from the mills.
Bethlehem, Pa, oct. 4.-Uuion Of
dcials admitted today that the Beth
lehem steel Company has made inroads
into the ranks Of its striking workmen,
but accompanied the admission with
the statement that they were well salts

RICHMOND HOUSING
CORPORATION MEETS

/. A meeting OF the Richmond Hous-
Ing corporation. just chartered, has
BEEN called for 4 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon at the First National bank.
Plans for perfection Of the organi1a-
ton will be discussed, and ways and
means will be provided for the prose-
cution OF its work.
This corporation was formed at the
instance OF the chamber of commerce,
committee OF which found housing
conditions here In anything but q
satisfactory state. BY making living
conditions attractive and inviting. IL
is expected that the labor situation in
local factories will be improved, as
this city will be in a position to offer
more pleasant and desirable homes
than almost any community in the
east. In several Of the mad-western
cities the plan has been worked sue
cessfully and Richmond business men
are much enthused at the prospects
here.
1t is probable that committee will
be appointed to investigate property
In every section of the city to decide
the most logical location for establish
ing the home sites on which the cor
poration will build houses for sale on
moderate terms and for rental at
reasonable rates Only substantial
buildings will be constructed contain
ing all modern conveniences and cleo
tricity. As they will be intended for
the industrial employees of Rich
mond, 1t is probable that the location
Will be convenient to one of the

Reviewing conditions ii every Sec
tion Of the city. - they havs bsen
found during the past wsSk In ! hur-
r1ed survey. officers Of the Civic -
ISOLATION declared last night that any
further delay in the matter Of street
improvements not only would result In
depIorable and impassabls roadways
this winter, but would prove costly to
the city because OF the thoroughfares
that will quickly be beyond the stage
where repairs can be made.
The only solution OF the problem SO
far as he has been advanced, they as
serted. Is the plan suggested by Coun-
short-term bond issue Il 100000

urged members OF the council commit

ter will come up for consideration to-
morrow night, to give the matter their
utmost consideration. Immediate ac-
ton IL necessary. they said. each day
in dollars and cents in steady depre-
citation.
I'VE believe that the council should
act at once In the matter of the bond
ISSUE" read a statement issued By the
association. for that seems to be the
only solution OF the problem. Deplor-
able conditions were found In every
nection Of the city--north. east. south
and west--which are easily understood
when II is known that virtually no
work has been done In the past four
years,
"Richmond's financial condition was
such that no street Improvements
could be made during the period. when
thu war had forced prices skyward. but
the time has now come when something
must be done. Certain thoroughfares
must he kept open this winter. for the
citizens must have some means to get
ting fuel and provisions to their homes
and this cannot be done unless work
is started now No one can be held
responsible for tha existing conditions.
but the council can now see that the
work of improvements is started with
out delay.
THE Roden plan. or some similar
bond issue. should be adopted we be-
}teye, as that fs the only solution OF
the problem now facing the city. Yet
this plan will provide relief that is
IN many WAYS only temporary. and
sre which the city cannot follow In
def,nsteIy We believe that the per
n,ament solution OF the problem will
come with the privilege OF making
special assessments against the ahut-
ting property owners nut CohSttur
tional amendment Is necessary TO make
that possible, which will require con-
siderable time"
Officials Of the association now have
made a survey Of the three big SECTIONS

and the West End,
AS yet the eastern section OF the
city has not been visited. hut reports
from citizens TO the offices OF the as
