Councilmen Are Opposed

The city council will consider the
petition of the Richmond Light, Heat
and Power company. for a reValuatlon
of it's property and a revision OF its
rates, at council meeting Monday
night. AS nearly as can be ascertain
ed the councilmen will oppose the pro-
posed rate.

convinced that the demand is neces-
sary and reasonable. Councilman OS-
car Williams said that he, too, is op-
posed to the measure but was anxious
to have the matter discussed in cOun-
Gil meeting.
Councilman Matt. Won Pein express
ed opposition to the petition and said
that he thought the increased rates
granted the gas company at the time
of their last petition ought to be
sufficient.
Mr.. Won Pein approved the mayors

unreasonable and that it would con-
slider any increase that gave the gas
company more than a six per cent re-
turn on their money as unreasonable.

Of D. & w. is Promised in
Plea for New Franchise

No definite date has been set by the
Montgomery County, O., commission
crs for action on the 50-year franchise
for the Dayton G. Western Traction
company. as proposed at meeting of
city, county and electric railway Of
flcials Friday in the Dayton court
house. The line is from Dayton to
Richmond.
Valentine Winters, president Of the
Dayton G. Western. said that there is
large amount of work to be done on
the tracks and rolling stock of the
traction company. and the 100000
worth of bonds which will be sold to
do this work cannot be issued until a
new franchise is granted. the present
franchise expiring in 1922.
All tracks of the company will have
to be reballasted. since the Ohio Elec-
trio company, which formerly held a
lease on the line, neglected to i'm
prove the tracks for a period Of ii
years, according to Mr.. Winters.
Rolling stock also will have to be re-
habilitated.
The new franchise proposed by Mr..
Winters extends over 50 years and
provides that the company shall main
tain its lines in their present location
and that no change in the grade of the
tracks or location Of poles shall be
made without the consent of the coun-
ty commissioners The line OF the
company in Montgomery county are
located along the Dayton and Eaton
pike.

ROADS APPEAL
FOR RELIEF IS
HEARD BY U. s.
Government To Help Carriers
Straighten Out Traffic Snarl
Industry Threatened by
Situation.
MAY ROUTE FREIGHTS
tBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE ma
tion's railroads, swamped with busi-
ness and not yet on their feet after
the long period Of federal control,
turned hopefully to the government to-
day for relief
With reports from Industrial centers
showing several hundred thousand
cars held up at functions and in tran
sit because of insufficient equipment
and labor, the interstate commerce
commission, clothed with broad powers
under the new railroad law, was ex-
pected to head the appeal of the car
riers and take charge of a situation,
admittedly bad.
Although desperate efforts have
been made in the last week to clear up
the tangle of freight, railroad officials
said there was slight hope of early
improvement.
The great need at the moment is TO
clear the tracks of non-essential ship
ments, and open the way for the free
movement of the necessities of life.
Big Plants May Close
So great is the traffic congestion,
according to report and complaints
from many quarters. that there is i'm
VI " uOlCSdIc ClOS--iS
of big industrial plants and the con-
sequent cut in production.
Should the commission find, on the
strength of reports laid bfore it. or
ders taking over virtually complete
control of the movement of freight
probably will be issued today.
The first step would be the issuance
of priority orders for shipment of coal,
for which there is crying need at many
points, food and perishables. The use
of cars would be limited to these COM
modities, but railroad men said they
were more concerned with the prob
lem of moving and unloading upwards
of 100000 cars that have caused the
congestion.
May Curtaii Passengers
The possibility of curtailing passen-
ger service has been considered by
the roads so as to expedite freight
movement, but officials said this
would b done only as last resort.

ALSO HAVE
TEACHING PROBLEMS;
SCHOOLS FOR SN0BS

LONDON, April 29-Efforts to i'm
prove educational conditions in Eng.
land are bearing little fruit just now.
AS one man described it England is
on the make and each family is out
for all the money it can get.
AS soon as a child gets old enough
he is put to work, the more eagerly
because he is able to earn what be.
fore the war would have been consid
cred a man-sized salary. Families
will tell you In awe-struck tones OF
boys seventeen or eighteen years old
who earn as much as $40 or SIS a
week.
The English school laws require
that a child attend school until it is
fourteen years old. After that time
not one working class family in a
thousand will even consider the posi-.
bility of higher education.
Secondary schools. which cores
pond to American high schools, are
not free except to those pupils who
win scholarships, and the idea of max.
ing financial sacrifices that their chill
dren may be educated never occurs
TO the average English family of the
lower, middle and working classes.
Complain Of Salaries
AS in the United States, school
teachers are complaining of their low
salaries, and fewer trained and able
people are taking up the profession
There have even been talks of a
strike, to force on the public attention
the position of those people who are
in charge of the national education
The snobbery that is at the root OF
the English school system is con
demned by thoughtful educators who
see the need of better schools and
more extensive schooling.
Middle class parents who have any
pretense to social aspirations will not
send their children to board school
as those CORES ponding with the pub
lie schools in the States are called
The child is put under the care o.
nursery governess, who is often 6
| 'decayed' gentlewoman with a very
imperfect education and no knowledge
of teaching methods, and is ther
placed into a private school whose
teachers. as far as preparation is con
cerned, are much less fitted for theil
work than the board school teachers
AS a result, the English child Is

can child of the same age, and in the
same social station, who goes through
the public schools and the state uni
versities as a matter of course.

Sanchez and Higinio Aguilar, leaders
of the revolutionary forces which
fought grim battle with Carranza's S
army near Rinconada last week.
They have a superior force of cav

for some trace of the fugitive presi-

over the Interoceanic railroad for the
purpose of interecepting Carranza if he

Movies, Lax Laws, and

Divorce, Baptists Claim
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Moving
pictures, lax laws and intemperance
are blamed for the numerous divorces
in the United States by the commit
tee of temperance and social service
in its report to the southern Baptist
convention today.
Enactment of a uniform code of
marriage and divorce laws was recon-
mended as a remedy. Quoting from
government statistics on the num-
Eer of divorces obtained annually in
the country the report shows that in
1916, when the last figures were
gathered, there were 112,036 divorces.
Were later figures available the re-
port continued, "the picture would
doubtless be darker still, certainly this
would be true of 1919 owing to the
large number of hasty and foolish
marriages contracted during the war"
