Democratic Committee Called to
Meet Tuesday Night to
Fix Date.
For the purpose of fixing u date for
a. primary election In Richmond for
the nomination of two candidates for
the State Senate, five for the House
of Delcgutes and one for the office of
City Collector, the City Democratic
Committee has been called to meet
in the assembly hall at Murphy's Hotel
on next Tuesday night. The call was
sent out yesterday by Chairman Miles
M. Martin and Secretary W. B. Duke.
It will he the duty of the committee
at this meeting to decide upon what
day the primary .shall be held, There
can be no reasonable doubt that the
fame day will bp named as that when
the. United Slutcs Senators will be
voted on?September 7. There ap?
pears to be no sentiment among mem?
bers of the committee for a .separate
primary, while the saving- of expenses
appeals for a Jo'nt affair.
In addition, n date will be sot up
to which time candidates for the vari?
ous ollic- t may (lie their names. This
Is likely to be put at some day early
in July. The assessment against, each
candidate will be decided upon, and
will probably be put upon the suppo?
sition of nine candidates for the eight
offices. Eight candidates would make
a primary unnecessary, while the com?
mittee would come out whole If there
is only one contest. In case ill ore
than nine persons tile their names,
there will be a tnnrgain of cost. The
State Democratic Committee has been
asked for J500 for Richmond, to come
from the candidates for United States
Senate, and the local candidates will
be called on for the remainder of a
similar amount.
As to South Richmond, the probabil?
ities are that the situation there will
be let alone. While old Manchester lias
been annexed to Richmond, the boun?
daries of the legislative districts have
not been changed, and it is altogether
likely thai Manchester, Chestertleld
and Powhritnn together will elect a
floater member of the House as here?
tofore, leaving readjustment of the
situation to the next Legislature.
Thereforj the Sotithsldc is not likely
to figure either in the primary or in
the Nov. her .election so far as Rich?
mond's reprc'sefitui.i ves in the Legis?
lature, are'- ro'ncc-rned.
The candidates so far are as fol?
lows:
Stal ? Se-nnte?Arthur C. Harman and
E. C. Fnlkes (Incumbents).
uouse of Delegates?John A. Curtis,
John S. Ilarwood and Edwin 1*. Cox
(incumbents), and James .1. Creamer.
It Is Understood thai 11111 Montague
will also he a candidate.
No avowed candidate has as yet ap?
peared for the uncxplrcd term of the
late Frank W. Cunningham as City
(Collector, which is to be filled in No?
vember, and the party candidate for
which will bo chosen at tho coming
primary.

BRIDGE CONTRACT
Smith Agrees to Paving Change,
and Document Goes Now
to Expert.
Differences between the city and the
contracting- lirrn of I. J. Smith ?fc Co.,
inc., >o which wua awarded the contract
for the new Mayo Bridge, were prac?
tically adjusted at u conference held
In ihe office of City Engineer Boiling
yesterday morning, at which Mr. Smith,
Mr. Boiling, Chairman Adams, of the
Street Committee, and others were
present. Mr. Boiling reiterated objec?
tions he had advanced before tho Fi?
nance Committee to smooth paving on
the bridge, which is near the water,
subject to spray, dampness and nil
kinds of moisture, which would make
it slippery for heavy teaming. Mr.
Smith finally agreed to substitute Bel?
gian block paving, as demanded, at
the price appropriated by the Council,
$S.0O0. tile blocks to be laid on a six
inch rolled sund cushion, instead of on
concrete, as heretofore proposed, when
the price was placed at $10,00(1. Mr. ]
Smith also relinquished his claim to:
the rtiiIs and other equipment, which 1
the City Attorney has held to be the
property of the Virginia Hallway nnd
Bower Company, and therefore beyond
the power of the city to turn over to
the contractor with other salvage In
the old bridge.
At the suggestion of Mr. Boiling. Iho
llnal draft of the contract wus sent
yesterday to Consulting Engineer Wil?
bur j. Will son, of Cleveland, Ohio, who,
with Colonel G. P. E. Burgwyn and
Mr, Boiling, served ns adviser of the
Street Committee in making: tho award.
Mr. Boiling said that Mr. Watson's
large experience in bridge building
might suggest some contingencies not
rontemr.lntcd In Ihe contract ns drawn,
and that It wits host to have every pos?
sible contingency In a definite agree?
ment before the work begins. It Is
expected that the form will be returned
within a few days, .and the formal
agreement executed by Chairman Ad?
ams, for the city, and by Mr. Smith,
for the contracting firm. Mr. Smith
stated that he was ready to begin clear?
ing Hie site the day the contract is
finally signed.

About That 70 Per Cent.,
Says Mr. Scott.
SOCIETY GOT REAL BIG LIFT
Manager of Miss Garden Dealt
Most Liberally With Tuber?
culosis Society.
Members of tho Council Committee
on Grounds and Buildings, who stated
In open meeting Thursday night, as
published in this newspaper yesterday,
thut Mary Garden gut TU per cent, of
the gross receipts, while Pine Camp
received only an insignificant part of
tho proceeds from a concert recently
given at the City Auditorium, were
Incorrectly informed, according to a
statement made last night by Fred W.
Scott, treasurer of the Pine Camp So?
ciety.
The Impression went forth as a re?
sult of the committee's discussion that
the tuberculosis home rocelvod less
thnn $"-'00, while the record shows that
Miss Garden's concert gave it 5795.S3.
Mr. Scott*? Statement.
In reply to the statement heretofore
published. Mr. Scott said:
"Tho Tuberculosis Camp Society re?
ceived us their share of the proceeds
of the concert $770.80. The total ex?
penses, most of which were for news?
paper advertising, were $151.07. Miss
Garden's manager paid $100 of these
expenses, and the Tuberculosis Camp
Society puid $51.07, leuvlng $725.S3 us
Pine Camp's share. In addition to this,
we were allowed the entire proceeds
for the program advertisements and
other incidental contributions, amount?
ing to $70. So thut the treasurer of I
;Uic Tuberculosis Jump Society re?
ceived $705.S3 as the net prollt of the
concert.
"Miss Garden's manager, Mr. John?
son, wus us liberal as he could have j
been in settling with the representa?
tives of the society, and said that he I
would OjCcopt any statement that the I
oltlcers of tho society would sign. So j
? we considered that we were fairly
treated, and tho directors of the Tu?
berculosis Camp Society were not only
pleased, but were very grateful to
the. public for their support. The con?
tract with Miss Garden's manager was
made artor mature deliberation. Wo
considered It a wise thing to do, and
would make n similar contract with a
like organization If we hud the oppor?
tunity of doing so."

that Inspector Beck had stated the

LEE CAMP TABLES
Fails to Consider Proposal to
Donate Portraits to Memorial
Institute.
HONOR CROSSES PRESENTED
Major Anderson Gives Remin?
iscences of President Jeffer?
son Davis.
Without debate, K. 15. Lee Ctiinni
No. 1. Confederate Veterans, last night
tabled a request from the trustees of
the Confederate Memorial Association
that It dunuto Its matchless collection
of portraits to tho Confederate Memo?
rial Institute soon to be built In this
city, and thut" the camp muko its per?
manent horn- in the new huild'ng.
Leo Camp has several times recently
shown Its apparent aversion to aban?
doning present quarters and moving
to the Memorial Institute. At the time
the plans were adopted for the build?
ing the executive committee of the
association extended an invitation to
the camp to donate its portraits of
Confederate leaders. It was further
proposed that before the Una! draft
of the plans was complete, prepara?
tion should be made for a permanent
mooting pluce for Lee Camp In the
building. It was not intended that
Ihe removal should tnlte place at any
particular date, but only that the
camp should Indicate Its desire to
help In making the institute what it
is designed to be?a sort of hall of
fame. No notice seems to have been
tnken of the invitation.
Repented ItequcM.
The paper presented last night by
Licutcnant-Govcrnnr J. Taylor Elly
son; jtbe president of the Confederate
Memorial Association, was u copy of
resolutions adopted at the recent
meeting of the trustees of the associa?
tion at Little Hock. The trustees in?
dorsed tho invitation extended by tho
executive committee, expressing pleas?
ure that the site for the building had
boon selected In accordance with the
j request of Lee Camp, on the grounds
of the Soldiers' Home. It was read
; before the body, nnd on motion of
' Adjutant J. Taylor Stratton went to
the table.
It Is understood that those at the
head of the Confederate Memorial As?
sociation fear that the unwillingness of
Lee Camp to donate Its portraits and
move to the building will have a had
effect elsewhere In securing some ma?
terial to go Into the institute after it
Is built. It Is generally recognized
that Lee Camp Is the leader and its lo?
cation und prestlve give It a great deal
of Intlucncc.
Major Anderson Speak*.
Some personal recollections of Presi?
dent Jefferson Davis were presented to
the ca\np by former Attorney-General
William A. Anderson last night, pre?
ceding the presentation of crosses of
honor by the Daughters of the Confed?
eracy. Major Anderson told of "the oc?
casions on which he hnd soon the chief
magistrate of the Confederate States,
and paid a high tribute to his personal
magnetism, his patriotism and his re
murknblc force us a speaker.
The crosses were presented by Mrs.
Gregory, for Chesterfield Chapter, und
by Mrs. Randolph, for Richmond
chapter.
The camp received and accepted an
invitation to the usual memorial ex?
ercises in Petersburg next Friday.
Lee Camp will leave South Richmond
tit noon of that day.
On behalf of the Daughters of the
Confederacy of the Peninsula, Captain
John A. Curtis presented an invitation
to attend the exercises next Saturday
in commemoration of the iiftieth an?
niversary of the battle of Uethel. This
was also accepted.

Winnie Began to Rock Boat as
Others Sang "Rock Me
to Sleep."
Singing "Rock Me to Sleep, Mother:
Kock Me to Sleep," the friends of \
Winnie Miller (colored), of L'5 Wootl
Street, who had taken her out for a j
row on the river, rocked the boat in
accompaniment lo the song yesterday i
afternoon, and rocked Winnie into
the water. There was great disturb- i
atice In the bosom of the placid stream,
for Winnie kicked out, struggled and
strangled and shrieked for two coun?
ties to boar. ? ;
When the woman slid into the water
she retained presence of mind enough
to grasp Ihe side of the boat, and
there she clung with desperate energy
as she attempted frantically lo climb
In. When she ceased .struggling and
the strains of the song had tiled Into a j
distant echo, her sister and friends
drew her in. She collapsed In the j
bottom of Ihe boat, and they rowed to
shore with all possible haste. There j
Was ho more singing, no more rock- ;
lug. It wus a straight pull and a!
long pull for terra lirmn.
When Winnie sei foot upon dry land
jnce more she gave tip n sigh ns If
.she were giving up the gho3t, and
sank do n n limp heap on tho sand.
The city ambulance was called, and
Dr. Turmnn restored the woman to
consciousness. lie had no dry femi?
nine garments to clothe her In, and
so took her home, where, she made the
necessary change. After delivering a
lecture on the evil of rocking boats,
not at all necessary when singing, the
physician left. Winnie will go rowing
no more,

HEERS WORK
ON DRAINAGE PLAN
Surveys Begun on Chickahominy
With View to Vast
Reclamation.
Preliminary work looking to tho
drainage of the Swamp lands of the
Chickahominy has been begun by a
force of men sent by the bureau of
drainage Investigations of the National
Department of Agriculture. These men
are surveyors, and have their camp at
Atlce, on the river and on tho Chesa?
peake and Ohio in Hanover county.
Within ubout two weeks they ex?
pect to have their surveys In that sec?
tion complete, and will then mom
down in the neighborhood of High?
land Springs. Some time will be con?
sumed before the work is completed
for it iu intended to cover every acre
of ground which can be reclaimed bj
modern scientific methods.
The work of these surveyors is ol
such a nature that luter, when the
drainage district Is established fn ac?
cordance with the now Virginia law
the supervising engineer can take the
measurements and base his entire cal?
culations upon them, later using them
In doing the actual work of draining
the water.
Since this move In behalf of the
Chickahominy section was begun by
Dr. D. W. Starbuck, u farmer of tho
Highland Springs neighborhood, it bus
progressed rapidly. The aid of the na?
tional government was scoured, and
Chief Drainage ICnglnoer C. G. 1511I?H
came to Richmond and addressed a
mass-meeting, at which the Virginia
Drainage Association was organized.
Dr. Starbuck, with Chief Clerk C. A.
Miller, of the Vlrglniu Department of
Agriculture, kept after the olllcluls ul
Washington, and the. former went there
during the last days of the Congress
which expired in March, and helped to
secure on Increased appropriation foi
drainage Investigations.
When the survey la complete, th?
next step will be the formation of u
drainage district, and to go through

Miss Cally Ryland in The News
on
"It seems a very .undignified protest that the
churches are putting up against the theatres in
this city.
There isn't any possible way in which a church
and a theatre could interfere with each other,
unless the theatre concluded" to give Sunday morn?
ing performances. Then the church would have
to put up a bold fight for a congregation. A
decent, well-behaved theatre ought to be as good
a neighbor as a decent, well-behaved church could
possibly have.
Theatres and churches don't run on the same
schedule, so to speak. They don't offer the same
attractions; they don't keep the same hours, they
don't always attract the same people, more's the
pity. It's a sort of confession of weakness for a
church to try to elbow a theatre off of its block,
unless the theatre were a noisy, rowdy sort of af?
fair that attracted the lowest element.
Certainly, if any two brethren could afford to
dwell together in unity it appears?to the lay
mind?that it should be a church and a theatre."
