Captain sticks to Blazing ship.

Kingston, Ont.-The heroic deed of
John Hays poetic character, Jim Blud-
soc, became reality here. His 1000
ton vessel Schoolcraft, aflame fore
and aft, Capt. Thomas Sughrue, stuck
to the wheel until her nose touched
the sand of Wolf island beach, off
here. The crew, however, failed to
keep to the lines Of the poem. They
abandoned their vessel, taking to the
life boats when the blaze got beyond
control. The Schoolcraft, which had
delivered cargo of coal at Montreal,
was returning here for the winter.

NATURALIZATION
MOVEMENT FAILURE
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, May 1O-Leon Jouhaux,
master spirit of the French Fedora
ton of Labor, has failed apparently
to strengthen the movement for nat
ionalization of public utilities by or
ganizing a strike on transportation
lines. subways and tramways in Paris
At 10 a. m. omnibuses were going
about as usual, but there were only a
few cabs to be seen. Frequent
clashes occurred during the forenoon
between men ready to run their ma
chimes, and the strikers.
Tramways were working regularly,
but remained within the walls of
Paris and did not enter the suburbs.
Men operating them were not attend
ed, as on May day, by police or SOL
diers. Autobuses continued to circu-
late and there were no attempts at
biolence against them.
The strike is complete at Marseilles
and St. Etienne. and is effective at
lyons. The congress of the Fedora
tion of Police of France and the col
onies, scheduled to take place tomor-
row at Nancy, has been cancelled by
order of NJ. Steeg, minister OF the in
terror, because of the strike situation.
Interest now centers on whether
Leon Jouhaux decides gas and eleec-
trical workers shall be called out.

Orders For War on Dirt;
This Week Is the Week

This week has been designated by
the Richmond Red Cross and the city
fathers as the official Clean Up
Week. AS most of the actual work
will be accomplished by school chill
dren, the following instructions were
read in all city schools Monday:
/. Clean up the garden and home
premises.
2. See that street and yard are
free of paper, etc.
3. Burn all that can be burned
4. Put all other rubbish in a place
where the garbage collectors can get
to it easily. We are promised it will
be taken away.
5. Keep the garbage cans covered.
G. Swat" the fly. One killed now
means the destruction of thousands.
Z. Protect and preserve public
property, Do not disfgure walls,
desks or floors at school or home.
s. Let US keep halls and rooms free
of paper.
9. If you see some one throw paper
on floor in the building kindly remind
him or her not to do so.
10. Let's all do this, teachers and
students.

BAKERS BREAD PRICE
IS RAISED IN CITY

The price of the "A ounce loaf of
bread was advanced to 18 cents in
Richmond, Monday, while the size Of
the former loaf, selling for 10 cents,
was cut. Wholesale bakers say these
prices will probably prevail for several
months and then take another upward
hop.
The new scale for the 10-cent loaf
of bread means that the public will
purchase bread for this price which
ranges from II to IA ounces. =
Bakers say this advance in price has
been contemplated for several months.
Only the large supply of -four Rich
mond bakers fortunately possessed,
prevented the advance last fall when
prices were raised in other parts of
the state. Ohio bakers have been
using this scale since Jan. l, and the
Richmond housewife has been buying
this bread in preference to the home
product.
Eugene Quigg, general manager of
the Richmond Baking company, says
this advance is absolutely imperative.
Flour is at present at the highest point
in years while labor costs three times
as much as a few years ago.

G. 0,P, CHAIRMANSHIP
ELECTION IN SIXTH
MAY SWING INDIANA

The election of Republican district
chairman at Liberty Tuesday will
have a direct bearing on the naming
Of a state chairman Of the party, de-
velopments at Indianapolis indicated
today.
Deadlocks in the Sixth and Ninth
districts, if. they are broken by sup.
porters of Senator Watson, will jeop-
ardize the reelection of E. M. Was
muth as head of the state organiza-
ton. The district committees will
meet Tuesday to elect chairmen.
If the situation in the Sixth and
Ninth is not cleared, the rules of the
Republican state committee provide
that the chairmen of these districts
shall be chosen by the incoming state
committee.
In this event, the election of Was
muth will not be certain until the
state committee has chosen chairmen
for the Sixth and Ninth.
Want Bossert Counted Out.
Sixth district leaders, opposing the
election of Walter Bossert of Liberty,
said the selection of chairmen opposed
to him in Wayne, Henry. Rush and
Hancock counties, should convince
Bossert that half of the district does
not want him. They believe he should
stay out of the race for the sake of
party harmony.
Bossert and anti-Bossert forces agree
that the stand taken by Glenn Zell of
Fayette county, or Otto A. Lee of Shell
by county may decide the issue.
The action of the Shelby county
committee in instructing for Bossert
was surprise, as it was confidently

Communists Face Trial For
Conspiracy in Chicago Court

now in Jail at Abo, Finland, according
to state department reports, accused
of smuggling from Bolshevik Russia.
What effect Secretary of Labor VIII.
sons ruling that membership in the
Communist Labor party did not con-
stitute grounds for deportation will
have on the trial, is problematical.
The state contends 1t will have none,
as the defendants are American citi-
Zens charged with conspiracy.
The outstanding figure of the group
which faced Judge Oscar Hebel in
criminal court this morning is William
Bross Lloyd, millionaire sergeant-at-
arms of the Communist Labor con-
vention. Lloyd, who is the son Of the
late Henry D. Lloyd, said to have been
a rich Boston philanthropist, is close
friend of William D. (Big BilD Hay
wood, former secretary-general Of the

w. w. national defense committee.
Haywood is under sentence of 20
years in Leavenworth penitentiary,
but is at liberty under bond furnished
by Lloyd, pending an appeal, which
will be heard next Monday in federal
court here.
States attorneys are prepared to
submit samples from tons of pamph-
let's, books and records seized in raids
on the radical headquarters here to
support the charge of conspiracy. The
trial, they estimate, will last three
months.

CITY TO ASK BOND
ISSUE FOR PLATOON
FIREmEN'S SYSTEM

T. c. Taylor. a member of the board
Of public works, was appointed Mon
day to consult with Mayor Zimmerman
and City Attorney Robbins for ar
ranging a hearing before the public
service commission, to determine
whether the city may issue bonds to
cover the cost of installing the platoon
system in the fire department
Fire Chief Miller estimates that the
platoon system would be an additional
cost of $4,000 a year to the city and
in order to operate, it will be neces-
sary for the city to get funds by
bond issue.
Under the proposed system the fire.
men would work in 12-hour shifts, thus
insuring a full force on duty at all
times. Under the present system the
men are on duty "a hours day. In
stallation of the new plan would
necessitate the employment Of another
shift.
Asks Crossing on c. e. o.
The city engineer was instructed by
the board to consult with the engineer
Of the c. & o. railway in regard to
constructing an adequate crossing at
North D and Third streets.
The engineer was also instructed to
notify the traction company to remedy
the switch at the corner of Fifth and
Main streets. Cars that jump the
track at that place are said to damage
the brick pavement to a great ex-
tent
Howard Dill, representing the Rich
mond Water Works company, reported
to the board that Mrs AL Dunham, liv-
ing at 1921 Harris street, was unable
to secure water from the city's mains
because of the leakage of a private
main.
The we'll at Mrs. Dunham's home has
been condemned and Mr. Dill request
ed the board to consider what relief
could be given. The matter was taken
under advisement.

June 6, shortly after convening, went

expected to last all day.

More women were represented in a

than any previous gathering of the
kind in the history of either of the
major political parties. Washington,
Georgia, Rhode Island and North Car
