PENNSY TALKING OF
Constructing BELT
Line THROUGH CITY

To relieve traffic congestion and to
eliminate the present necessity OF
operating both passenger and freight
trains through the Pennsylvania sta
ton, plans have been formulated by
the engineering staff Of the Richmond
division, Pennsylvania lines, for the
construction Of belt line through the
northern part of the city. The purpose
Of the proposed belt line would be to
handle over it all freight traffic pas
sing east and west through Richmond.
1t is understood that although plans
for the construction of belt line
have been made there is no indication
that the Pennsylvania company will
begin work in the improvement in the
near future.
The improvement would involve con-
siderable expense. but railroad Off
cials realize, it is said, that 1t will
eventually have to be provided be-
cause of the steadily increasing east
and west traffic congestion.
New Bridge May Be Plan
1t is understood that the belt line
would connect with the main line near
North Sixteenth street, at the east
and in West Richmond at a point not
far distant from the river.
The proposed belt line would extend
| across the river over a new railroad
| bridge, to be erected near North F
| street A right-of-way through nortl
Richmond to the switch Of the ole
City mill works, at Sixteenth stree
and the railroad, would have to bt
acquired.
| City officials who have been inter
ested in the proposed plan for the con
! struction Of a freight belt line poin
out that such a line would provide
number of excellent factory sites fl
north Richmond.

0RANGEMAN'S DAY
STARTING QUIETLY
(By Associated Press)

BELFAST, July 12.-Last night
passed quietly in Ulster and as the
great Orangemen's day parade was
formed in this city this morning there
was no evidence the day would be
marked by anything out of the ordin-
airy for a celebration Of July II.
Telephone messages from Londonder-
ry and other points reported every
thing quiet and it was stated they
were expected to remain SO.
Troops in the regular garrison here
have been confined to the barracks
until Tuesday morning. but military
officers have taken every precaution
against disorder, even to arranging for
a special hospital service. Many wild
rumors were afioat in Belfast this
morning. one being that trainload of
Sim Feiners was coming from Cork to
attack the city. Investigation proved
this, as we'll as many other reports OF
trouble, untrue.

Mouer without cause" in accord ance with his policy of last May, the attorney generals staff yesterday dis cussed the appointment" of Rudolph Kuchler as land commissioner.
 In the opinion of F. J.. K. Mcbride, assistant attorney general, the land commissioner has no term of office under the law. According to tho statutes tke land Commissioner is appointed and shall hold office until his sue cessor shall have been appointed and qualified"
 It was recalled that Attorney Gen eraI Jones in the spring tried to re- move Mir. Mouer, claiming that it was not necessary to prefer charges to fe- move an appointee of the board. The governor demanded a fair hearing and refused to remove the commissioner unless there were grounds for his re- moval.
 "The only way that new commis- sioner can take over the duties of the office is by the removal of the present official, who has no term of office in the law" said Mcbride.
 The resignation of MT. Mouer was asked by certain Democratic members of the board, the governor refusing tc consider the action unless cause was shown" The board at present is com posed of four Democratic members and one Republican, while the new board just reverses the political personnel The new board will consist of Governor Campbell, chairman; Charles Fair. field. auditor: Ernest Hall, secretary of state; w J.
