New Safeguards
Are Placed on
James River

y trip down the James River
at night is responsible for new
lights, buoys and other aids to
navigation being placed by the
Division of Lighthouses of the
War Department.
Aboard the Lake Stirling of
the Ri C h m ond New ork
steamship Line, Il representa-
tive OF the Division Of Light
houses made the trip from
Richmond to Newport News,
at the request of officials OF
the steamship company. The
first-hand alton he.
gained promptly resulted in
the addition of the safeguards
for river navigation.
The James River is a vital
waterway for Virginia's vel
fare. Years ago it's surface
was covered with busy naviga-
tion. but today only the yes
sells of the Richmond New
York Line and two small
steamers ply upon it.
I'm the hands of the War De-
partment there remains q bal
ancc Of 1926. 900 from an old
appropriation for the improve
mcnt of the James River.
with the assistance of Sena-
tor Swanson and Representa-
tives Montague and Bland, the
Rlchmond-New York Line has
succeeded in prevailing upon
War Department officials to
spend some Of this money for
improvements, instead of re-
serving it exclusively for
maintenance.
The Richmond-Ncw York Line
expects to play an important
part in rehabilitating river
service. II will first try to
have the channel deepened.
The river channel is supposed
TO be eighteen feet-ships now

dead low tide.

ICONS" See Weird
Film Portrayal of
One Arabian Night


Convicts of the state peniten-
tiary were treated to high class
entertainment yesterday when
Frank Bligh, manager of the Lib
erty theater, took there the film,
zone Arabian Night" in which
Pola Negri is starred, and all the
vaudeville acts of the Bligh the
ater.
The ICONS" enjoyed the weird
romance of the Arabian dancer
in a Shiek's harem and the sub
plot of the Sheik's favorite wife
with a handsome young merchant
Of Bagdad. The action OF the pic
ture takes place between "sun
and sun" and is filled with dra-
matte episodes that put tinge Of
color into the drab life Of the in
mates of the prison. When first
shown in New York sometime ago,
film critics in all the leading
magazines devoting space to it
were loud in their praise of the
picture.

Second Suit Is
Filed Against
Spokane Woman

Another suit for $500 damages
was filed against Mrs. Edith ID.
Grebe of Spokane, Washington,
growing out of the automobile ac-
cident which occurred on the Pa
cific highway near the Valley
Packing company's plant last July,
by John R. Newton, passenger of
the auto stage driven by Clyde w.
Fem.
Newton's allegations are in the
main similar to those of Fenn's,
who charges Mrs. Grebe with pass
ing him on the lert without sound
ing warning, improper operation
of her car and travelling at dan
gerous rate of speed at the time.
Newton further states that he had
gotten out of the car to assist Fem
in adjusting the hub cap of the
wheel when Mrs. Grebe drove past
knocking them down with the re-
sulting injuries.
The jury in the case OF Fenh
against Mrs. Grebe was selected
this morning and verdict is ex-
pected tomorrow on the $4,000
judgment asked. The following is
a list of the jurors passed to try
the case: John w. Carson, Salem;
c. w. Hirons, Salem; Henry Tade,

What's New
The Market
BY Rex Stewart

Too much foreign butter ship
ped from Australian ports arriY-
ing in this country through San
Francisco caused a decided drop
in the price Of the local butterfat
and butter. Butterfat dropped to
36 cents yesterday in spite OF it
being holiday throughout the
commercial world and specula-
tive decrease in butter was made
though no announcement was Civ
en- until this morning. The whole
sale butter price decreased five
cents now being quoted at 40 and
Al while the retail dropped from
SO to 43. The difference In the
drop is accounted for by pre-
vious change in wholesale prices
recently, when the retail price re-
NAMED steady.
Lettuce on the market today
was not In very good condition
due to the two days OF no market
Ing. Imperial valley stuff will be
offered tomorrow. What the retail
price Is yet uncertain. but 1t Civ
en- as around two buncSes for 25
cents. A new car of swvet pota-
toes will also be ready for gener-
al distribution tomorrow.
There is no smelt to be obtain
ed anywhere along the northern
coast. Halibut arrived late today
with a retail price of 25 cents and
steelhead salmon at 80.

people had not changed, despite
the numerous resolutions by vari-
GUS bodies in favor of the pact.
O'Connor asserted the campaign
since the Dail's adjournment had
in reality hurt the treaty.
Oi'Connor was interrupted sew
eral times during his address, not
ably by Michael Collins, who re-
sented his attitude on resolutions
favoring the treaty passed by
meetings of farmers and other
public bodies. Collins called at
tention to the sufferings of the
rural population whose houses had
been burned on all sides.
Pierce Beasley, of County Kerry,
followed with a strong speech in
favor of the treaty. He said he
had waited vainly for some signs
from the opponents of the treaty
of sympathy for the poor prostrate
Irish nation. What the treaty's
opponents called principles were
werely political formulas and high
pitched rhetoric, he declared. The
lives of the Irish people, he de-
clared, were being gambled with.
Countess Markiewicz, the next
speaker, vigorously denounced the
treaty.
Countess Markiewicz, in oppos-
ing the treaty, condemned clauses
In and IS of the document deal
ing with arrangements for a pro-
visional government and the
method of ratify.hg the pact. She
also said she did not understand
Arthur Griffith's promise to the
southern unionists.
"They are getting something
special, and why?" she exclaimed.
"They are England's garrisons and
stand for grinding capitalism and
against the workers of Ireland,
running the small farmers and
them across the Atlantic. -
She branded the southern un-
ions as the worst enemies of Ire
land, calling them traitors, and
oppressors of the Irish working
classes. Discussing the oath, she
said:
81, being an honorable woman,
would sooner die than make a
declaration of allegiance to King
George"
