CITY MAY SECURE

[Special to The Times-Dispatch ]

rights of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway In Lynchburg, provided the
railway company be secured the!
rlitht to close nnd till Up the Lynch- 1
burg level of the old canal, is begin?
ning to dawn on some of the members
of the City Council.
The mntter has hardly reached a
speculative phase as yet. but it is be?
lieved bv men who have given It .-' in'
thought that the railway company
would entertain it proposition if It was
made by the City government.
It is learned from good authority
that the railway company lias been
losing money for years on the main?
tenance of the canal through the city,
while It could make use of the land
now covered by water, it it were per?
mitted to fill It. This, of course, would
require legislative enactment, and. It
is thought, could only be secured from
the General Assembly ?n the Initin
tlvc'of the municipal government here
Froth what can be gathered as lb
the situation, the Chesapeake and Ohio
Hallway would profit Immensely by
me closing Of the canal, for this would
stop the coal of maintaining the wa
terwniv as well ?s give it valuable
land 'h'1' could be utilized for track?

would prove of Inestimable value to

Washington, October 19.?When the
members' of the House come back W
Washington in December for the next
session of Congress they will flild a,
big change in their eating arrange?
ments?that Is. those among them who
patronize the House Cafe.
For muny years, the Congressmen
who ate lunch at the Capitol were forc?
ed to do so in small, dark and unat?
tractive quarters. Frequently when
they had visitors. Seals were hard to
get, and there was a very crowded con?
dition generally. That was under the
old regime. But when the Democrats
took charge of the situation lust April,
when the extru session began, they de?
creed that' along with other reforms
they would entirely revolutionize the
House restaurant They proceeded to
do it. They turned out the man who
had held the sinecure lor many years,
und elected a new caterer to the gas?
tronomic wants who had a strictly
Democratic record. They believed that
a man who was a good Democrat ought
to make a good dispenser of congres?
sional pie and other eatables to tickle
the Congressman's ticklo appetite. So|
they got a Democrat. When he got his
commission he did not like the looks
of the quarters left by his Republican
predecessor. Accordingly. all the
shelves, bins and Mooring have been
taken up and are being rebuilt' strict?
ly according to the best Democratic
methods. It Is going to be a Democra?
tic restaurant, the new caterer said to?
day, and be is going to make a lot ofj
important ehaniros. He Is going to givej
much more space to the Congressmen
and their friends, and there will be'
a place tor the newspaper men. tho
clerks and other attaches of the
House, and. in addition to this, there)
will be a dairy lunch. But. he added,
we want to sirve everybody alike.
Democrat, Republican and Populist, if
there are any. Everything will be in

Honda for Public Improvements.
[Special to The Tlmea-Dlspatch.l
Lynchburg, Va., October 19.?Great
interest is being man [tested lieru in
the proposition pending before the City
Council for the issuance of $6.1?,000 in
bonds for pubic improvements, while
there is some opposition to the meas?
ure, there Ik more discussion as to how
the money should be spent than to any
other phase. NTuch opposition has
developed to spending t.'Oo.OOO for a
reinforced concrete bridge over the

a steel structure would suffice, thus

jXo young woman, In the Joy of
coming motherhood, should neglect
to prepare her system for the phys
ical ordeal she is to undergo. The |
health of both she and her coming
ehilil depends largely upon the care
she bestows upon herself during the
waiting months. Mother's Friend
pre pares the expectant mothei's sys?
tem for the coining event, and its use
makes her comfortable during all the
term. It works with and for nature,
and by gradually expanding all tis
sues, muscles and tendons, involved, I
and keeping the breasts in good con?
dition, brings the woman to the crisis j
in splendid physical condition. The
baby too is more apt to be perfect and
strong where the mother has thus
7>repared herself for nature's supreme
function. No better advice could ba
given a young expectant mother than
that she use Mother's Friend ; it is a

Los Angele*. Oal.. October 19. ? Seven
court days after the beginning of the
McNamara murder trial the Stute was
given Its hrst opportunity for tho ex?
amination of prospective Jurors. At?
torney Clarence S. Harrow, chief ol
counsel for the dcfenBC, turned over |
the full Jury box. reserving the priv?
ilege of examining one man further if
he liked.
Throe other men are under challenge
for bias, awaiting a ruling from Judge
Bordwell. The State within a tew
minutes successfully challenged John
W. Itoberts, a real estate cVealcr. whu
had tlxed scruples against capital pun?
ishment, nnd began the examination of
'I'. VY. Adams, a retired real estate deal?
er. No talesman was called to-day to t
replace Itoberts.
Tho list of talesmen to-night stood:
P. D. Green, orange grower.
T. \V. Adams, retired real estate
dealer.
Seaborn Manning, rancher.
A. B? Mein tosh, retired baker.
Robert Haln, carpenter.
Ernest K. Deckor, landscape gardener.

ter.
Challenged for bias?Goorgc McKee,
retired builder; Otto A. Jensen, farmer;
E. J. Shower, pa'perhanger. ?
Quiicltenbush Is subject to further
examination by Mr. Harrow, to learn
more of his qualifications to try James
I!. McNamara, who Is charged with the
murder of Charles llaggerty. one ot
the twenty-one victims of the Times
disaster.
Deputy G Ray Horton, who examined
the talesmen on behalf of the State,
disposed of Roberts, who declared to
the attorney that he would not vote a
conviction which carried a death penal?
ty, and he was excused.
"You're a Socialist. I believe," was
the first question put to Adams. He
said he had been one for ten years, and
that he was opposed to all forms of
violence.
"You understand rhat In this case the
death penalty Is involved?"
"Yes."
"Anil you are naturally opposed to It,
aren't you?"
"1 don't know that 1 would be in a
[case of this kind." he said.
I "Hut yxfs* feelings are averse to the
death penalty?"
j "No, I don't think my political belief]
has anything to do with the case more
than any other man's."
"It is not a question of your political,
but of your pirsona! feelings,*" said
.Indite nordwell, and Adam- said lie
had a feeling against the death pen?
alty, bill could do his full duty as a
Juror.
"Can you do your full duty as well
.is if Harrlman ami Harrow?counsel
for the defense, who are Socialists?
were not mixed up ill II?"
"Yes."
fie said he formed one opinion re?
garding the explosion about a week
after it occurred, but that reading a
Socialist publication had altered It.
and he now believed the Times build?
ing was blown up by gas.
His examination will he resumed to?
morrow.
