UNION PROPOSES
RAPICftL REFORMS
Believed That Changes Will Bar
Professionalism From Ama?
teur Athletics.
New York, Nov. IB.?Reforms of a
radical nature in the policy and con?
stitution of tho Amateur Athletic Union
will he proposed nt the annual meeting
in New York on November -0, it was \
learned to-day. Further conservation
of the amateur spirit and character
of tho athletics fostered by the A. A.
XT. Is the coal aimed at in tho pro?
posed reforms. The athleie whoso
service. 1> tight by means of In-1
ducemonts, which arc of the same i
moral effect a sfeeH, Is aimed at, ac-1
cording to ofnclals of the union.
Two rule/In particular will be pro-]
posed. One will provide that an ath-j
lett who leaves a club affiliated with;
the A. A. U. must remain unattachedI
for two years before he will be ellgl- j
ble to membership In another club.
The second pt vldes that no student I
In a college or university, either as an j
undergraduate or post-graduate, may j
belong to an athletic club other than
that of his own college.
Another provision suggested is that
no athlete may engage In a contest un?
der the Amateur Athletic Union rules [
unless he has previously llled with the
registration committee of his district J
a liona-flde certificate of four months'
residence in that district. He may not
enter a championship contest until he
has tiled a certificate f residence of
six months in the district.
"The object of these rules," said an
ofiicer in the union who Is Interested
In the reforms suggested, "Is to re?
move the scandal threatening the
American Athletic Union every now
nnd tiien. There Is no denying thut
when a small club develops a good
athlete there Is a rush by the big and
wealthy organizations to take him
away from the club.
"This means professionalism In a
thinly veiled form, since It gets clubs
bidding against each other, and en?
courages the athlete to lend himself
to the organization making the best
offer. It prevents the small club that
brought him out from profiting by the
"And." This condition is found In ath?
letic clubs as well as In colleges, and
11 Is the condition we desire to have
stamped out. The now rules are de- |
signed to make It possible."

NO BORE SECRECY
OF PARIY CAUCUS
Hereafter Sessions of Democratic;
Congressmen Will Be Open
to Public.
Washington, November 15.?More
caucuses on legislative affairs than
ever were held before by a majority
party in the House of Representatives
are predicted for the coming sesssion
of Congress and one of the first Im?
portant matters to be decided when
Democratic members reach Washing?
ton Is the proposed plan to discon?

following many criticisms of the
f tur chamber sosslons last summer
many of the party leaders concluded
that secrecy In the caucus was not
in tho beat Interest of the party or
conducive to the progress of legisla?
tion, and Representative Underwood,
of Alabama, the majority leader, sub?
mitted to his colleagues a resolution
I providing that In the future all
? caucuses of House Democrats be held
j In the open.
i The resolution, favorably received,
resulted In the appointment of a spe?
cial committee, composed of Represen?
tative Underwood, .Tames, of Kentucky;
Palmer, of Pennsylvania; Hardy, of
I Texas, and Speaker Clark to consider
i V. l advisability of the open caucus
and recommendation legislation early
in the regular session. Since then sen?
timent favoring the open caucus has
been growing, and .members of the
party now In Washington express the
opinion that the Democratic caucus
this term will be as public as the scs
I slons of Congress.

Westhampton Car Service
The schedule on the Wcsthampton car line, which became ef?
fective November 15th, the schedule prescribed by the order of
the Circuit Court of Ilenrico county of April 35, tqio, to become
effective when certain improvements had been begun at Richmond
College, which are now being made. The demand was. made that
this schedule be put into effect, and under the order of court thi
companv was compelled to do so.
For more than a year past the Virginia Railway and Power
Company has been striving in every way to adjust the schedule
on this line to the satisfaction of the traveling public, although the
present operation is conducted at an actual operating loss, and is a
better service than that provided for any equal amount of suburban
travel on the system.
At the suggestion of the Country Club, tlie company agreed,
subject to approval of the City Council, to operate its Westhampe
ton cars into the city to Ninth and Main Streets on a straight five
cent fare without a transfer, which is the fare permitted by the
Westhampton franchise. The Country Club undertook to secure
this approval ,in which they failed.
The Company then applied to the Council for leave to con?
struct a loop which would take care of all the travel in the west
end of the city now using the Wcsthampton Line and 10 operate
this loop on the ba-is of fares prescribed in the Richmond Trac?
tion Company's franchise, which would give no additional revenue
to the company for this service. This application is now pending.
In the meantime, the W csthampton Citizens' Association filed
a petition in tile Circuit Court of Hcnrico county praying for radi?
cal modifications in the schedule prescribed by the present fran?
chise, which would entail additional heavy operating expenses
without increasing the revenue. This petition is still pending.
< omplaints have been made against the schedule prescribed
by the court an 1 also of the present necessity for transfer at Rob?
inson Street and Floyd Avenue, which could have been avoided
if the cars could have been operated to Ninth and Main Streets, as
proposed by the Country Club.
The company desires an far as possible U> remove any cause
for complaint of this service. Without waiving any of its legal
rights therefore, and without prejudice to its position on the pend?
ing petition, it has determined:
(1) That beginning Monday morning, November 20th,
a line of cars will be operated from Ninth and Main Street
in Richmond via Broad Street to Wcsthampton Park
1 under the Richmond Traction franchise to Robinson Street and
Floyd Avenue and the Westhampton franchise beyond) on a sched?
ule of fifteen minutes from 6 A. \1. to g A. M.; thirty minutes from
9 A. M. to .j 1'. M.; fifteen minutes from 4 P. M. to 7 P. M. and
thirty minutes from 7 P. M. to 11:30 P. M. at the present rates of
fare, with city transfer privileges.
(2) ^The Company will tile with the State Corporation Com?
mission application to restore the Westhampton franchise rate of
5 cents on the Westhampton line, which application will be heard
and determined in due course.
This >ervice will entail additional operating loss on a line
which does not now earn operating expenses, but it is hoped that
this arrangement will fully meet the situation until pending ques?
tions in dispute arc determined.
