FEDERAL AGENTS PROBE WHISKY RING HERE
Mrs. Gardener Typies Women Who viii Hold Political Offices

Mrs. Gardener herself shows what
type of woman is going to enjoy the
advantages and responsibilities Of
office.
Other reasons than those of poll
tical right by reason of suffrage have
heretofore actuated the selection of
women for public jobs. Now that the
situation is changed and the women
are no longer dependent upon favor.
Mrs. Gardener will see that they have
as good a chance as men in the com
petitive places.
Mrs Gardener lives in Washington
u. S A., whom she married in 1901
She is best known by her original
name and retains it for her public and
professional activities.
In early life she became an author
ity on heredity. and wrote extensively
on that subject for the magazines. to
which she contributed also stories. cs-
says and scientific articles. She be-
came active years ago in movements
! for the progress and development of
women and in social ethical reform
work, lecturing on these subjects be-
fore the Brooklyn Institute of Arts
and Sciences and in university centers.
She has long been prominent mem
her or the American Academy or POLL
tical and Social Service. the Society
Of American Authors and the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution.
Her work for woman suffrage led
to her appointment to the executive
board of the congressional committee
Of the National Woman Suffrage as
isociation. Her service in Washington
in that capacity accounts for her pres.
ent appointment. 1t will he her pur-
pose 10 give women fair share of the
100000 offices in the civil service com
pctitive list.
Mrs. Gardener is a native Of Win
chester Va. where she was horn June
FL, 1853. and she received her educa
ton in the high and normal schools
of Cincinnati and in extensive travel
and study, to which she devoted about
twenty years.

NY MARK SULLIVAN

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 60
Three - four months from now Mr..
Harding will, or will not, have made
the impression of a good start. He
will, or will not. be regarded as having
appointed good cabinet He will, or
will not, be regarded as having lived
up to the spirit of his campaign
pledge, to initiate foreign policy which
shall take into account the views and
wishes of all sections of public opin-
ion.
That the impression Senator Hard
ing is to make in these and other
matters should be favorable must
necessarily be the wish of that more
than 70 out of every hundred of the
voters who supported him, and as a
matter of fact, undoubtedly is the
friendly wish of almost everybody
else Whether Senator Harding is
able to live up tS his own and the
rublic's wish that he make the i'm
preston of a good start is matter
wholly within his own control. If ne
should fail, it will be more his funeral
than anybody elses.
Surmises May MsIead.
But both for the sake of the next
President of the United States. and
President he will be, it is most desir
work should be based on the facts
after they have become facts. and not
on surmises made before the event

HAITIAN INVESTIGATION
JURISDICTION
(By Associated Press>

PART AU PRINCE, Haiti, Nov. 90
Formal announcement that the naval
court of inquiry now in session here
must restrict its investigation to al
legations that natives have been
killed or mistreated by American
marines has been made by the court.
This action resulted from an impress
sion among the people of Haiti that
the court was sent here to investigate
all grievances and have failed to I'M
derstand the refusal Of Major Jesse B.
Dyer, the judge-advocate, to permit
discussions Of all subjects at issue
during formal sessions OF the tribunal
Hundreds of letters have been sent
in. but some of them have complained
that officers have failed to pay rent
for their quarters and have preferred
charges of similar nature against
members Of the marine corps. Much
time has been lost in going through
the mass Of mail matter to sift out
charges which could be investigated
by the court. Open hearings at Port
au-Prince are a novelty to the natives,
who have attended in increasing num-
bers daily, and newspapers have
printed long accounts of the proceed
ings.

son, and Wallace Downey, president
of the Downey Shipbuilding company,

ington, D. c.. bank official. Mr.. Sands
testified that they were implicated in
an alleged transaction involving pay
ment. of $4,000 by the Downey Ship

act took effect and many men have
secured a livelihood off the illicit sale
OF liquor. It Is these conditions which
government officials have determined
to clean up. Word has been received
by the men who have been making
the investigation that they are to
spare no ore. Neither politics nor
the standing of the individual will in
terfere with the prosecution of the
guilty parties.
Steal Automobiles.
Some members of the whisky ring"
have been so bold as to traffic in
stolen automobiles for months in the
city of Richmond and have used these
cars to transport liquor from one state
to another. In addition to this, gam
bling for large stakes has been going
on. 1t is said that as high as $4,000
has been the takes" in one game
Numberous weekly games are being
run with smaller amounts involved
The local authorities have been re-
peatedly notified of the conditions ex-
listing, and claim that they know of
the violations, but are powerless to
take any action, because they do not
have any available men for that pur-
pose. The authorities claim that ev-
cry time they have tried to conduct a
raid someone has tipped it off to the
violators and the authorities have
been unable to find anything when
they arrived.
Distribution Points.
Liquor is brought into Richmond
daily in automobiles, trucks. and rail-
roads, and stored at various central
places where it is distributed through
trusted organizations.
Richmond being on the National
road, and on a line between Cincin-
natl and Chicago, has won for itself
the reputation of being depot or ex-
change point for all illicit traffic in
the central west. 1t is understood that
the federal investigators expect to
have the evidence sufficiently com
pleted to present the Wayne county
situation to the federal grand jury
which will meet in indianapolis on
Dec. 6.
I>e cases will come up in Judge
Anderson's court.

ALL BOOST CHAMPER
Of COMMERCE IDEA

Expressions of support for the pro
posed chamber of Commerce are being
heard on all sides. The proposition
has an appeal that finds supporters
Wherever it is discussed. 1ne COM
munity is rapidly getting behind the
movement and preparing to attend
the luncheon where the proposition
will be thoroughly discussed.
A. D. Gayle, of the First National
bank, said:
Il heartily endorse the organization
of the new Chamber of Commerce.
and feel that the committee haVlns
it in charge has done excellent work
snd has presented some very novel
and practical ideas.
81 want my name entered as
charter member of the new club, De-
cause l feel that l shall be proud TO
hold such membership, and that the
benefits obtained will far outweigh
the dues aked.'
w. X. Bradbury had the following
to say:
81 think we should have Chamber
of Commerce by all means.
"Onc of the strongest tendencies or
th, times is toward the organization
of groups for the accomplishment or
various purposes. We have many such
minor groups in our midst doing use
ful community work.
"A larger organization that will CO.
ordinate the activities of these various
groups can largely enhance their use
tulpcss. and should enlist the active
co-operation of every public spirited
citizen.

CAUSES $4,000 LOSS

Fire in the offices of Drs. A. F..
Kemper and H. w. Thompson, den
fists. in the Second National Bank
building startled the business district
at 1880 p, m. Friday. Smoke was
pouring from the windows when five
of the city fire wagons appeared on
the scene. Escaping gas from a small
heater in Dr. kemper's office caught
fire and started the partition between
the two offices burning
Firemen extinguished the blaze in
a short time by the use of chemicals.
The damage was estimated at $4,000
by the doctors: Supplies in the office
of DR.. Kemper and furnishings in DIR.
Thompson's office were badly dam
aged by water.

their offices to the third floor of the
building pending repairs.

OF D0DDRIDCE-BECk

The American Trust and Savings
bank of Richmond, receiver for the
Doddridge-Beck company, a Milton,
Ind, manufacturing concern, has filed
in circuit court the inventory and re-
port OF c. w. Haworth, accountant
employed to go over the company's
books, which shows that the concern
is solvent and that it's net profit on
operations for the nine months end
ing Sept. 80, this year, amounted to

port within a few days. 1t is antici-
pated that the receiver will be dis

February, 1918, to the time he COM
mitted suicide. last July. 1t was

City Manager Explains
Workings of Home Rule
In Portsmouth, Virginia

). +. Jervey, city manager of Ports
mouth, Va. has the following to say
about home rule in that city:
'It is my opinion that this form of
government, with a competent man.
given a fair trial and free hand. will
give more satisfactory results than
any other form of municipal govern
ment thus far tried out | believe,
however that the results obtained will
depend largely on the powers given
to the city manager
"As nearly as practicable, it is my
opinion that the city manager form of
government should approximate as
closely as possible to the form adopted
by corporations, in which the council
or commission represents the directors
who make the appropriations and de-
termine the policies.
Is General Manager
The city manager is a general man.
ager of the city to whom all depart
ments should report. The people of
the city, of course, represent the stock
holders, who elect the directors. I'm
der the city manager, should be de-
partments of finance, works. public
safety, public welfare and law; the
directors of these departments being
appointed by and subject to removal
by the city manager.
"As far as practicable, an election of
executive officials by popular vote
should be eliminated. Of course. the
power of recall should be very clearly
defined and not made too difficult, So
as to permit the citizens to get rid of
an undesirable council, in case of
necessity.
THE fact that the city manager is
appointed and subject to dismissal by
the council would seem to be sufficient
control to prevent abuse of power on
his part. OF course, even a modified
form of city manager government pre-.
sents many advantages, and if YOU
cannot get the complete form at once,
it may be advisable to accept some
thing less radical and then by a grad
ual process of educating the public,
persuade your citizens to use the more
advanced form"
