Health—Poor Opinion of
California.
NEW YORK. May 2.—Wteaton
reached One Hundred and Tweniy
Bfth street and Broadway. Harlem, at
10:30 o'clock, a half hour ahead of

amateur walkers.
Weston continued on his way to the
Ansonla, at Seventy-second street and
Broadway, for luncheon.
Weston left the city hall at Santa
Monica, Cal., on Feb. 1, 1810, bearing
a letter from Mayor George Alexan
der, of Bos Angeles, to Mayor Gay
oor. of New York. He said to-day:
"Had I been 45 Instead of 71, I
should have been able to walk th»
3,500 miles across the continent In
sixty Instead of seventy-eight days.
But It was a great walk all the same
snd 1 suppose It will be my last Ions
one. BUT I'll Seep on doing ten or
twelve miles every day to keep in
physical condition."
Reduced in Weight.
When he left Yonkers this morning.
Weston looked about 20 pounds lighter
than when he started from New Y'urk
last January to go by rail to Califor
nia. But his eyes are just as clear
snd his step as firm. Weston Is glad
lo be away from California.
"If I owned a house In San Fran
cisco and one In h—. I’d rent the one
In ’Frisco," he declares. "Los An
geles Isn't much better. There are
a lot of unprincipled people out
there."
Since h« - left Santa Monica, the
aged pedestrian has t-een handicapped
by a number of accidents. In Arizona
he fell through a trestle and severely
|rvjur«Ml his leg. but continued his
walk. On March 22, one week after
his seventy-first birthday, he was
twice overcome by the heat. After
leaving Chicago he encountered
wretched weather, but ended his jour
ley 12 day* ahead of schedule.

Charged With Circulating Lit
erature Tendiug to Corrupt
the Youth.
Acting umlfr Instructions given him
by the grand Jury, which was in ses
sion during the forenoon, Chief of
Holier I,oula Werner at 2 o'clock Tues
day afternoon isuued a warrant for
the arrest of A don A. Yoder, editor
and publisher of ' The Idea,'1 charging
him with circulating obscene litera
ture tending to corrupt the morals of
the youth.
The particularly objectionable
pamphlet to which the grand Jury ex
cepted was the one of the date of
April 23. One article entitled "A
waik through Mayo street” was read
to the members of the jury by the
chief of police and after listening to
It the> gave Instructions that the war
rant be issued.
Mr. Yoder, it was said at his office,
had gone to dinner, and a telephone

there. One of his friends told the
Officers that Yoder knew of a prob
able warrant for him and would be
prepared to furnish bond for his ap
pearance.
The charge against him is based on
Section 3791 of the Code of Virginia

rupt the morals of the youth.
The penalty under conviction is a
■* fine of not more than $200 and Im

HODMEN STRIKE
Richmond Contractor* Refuse to
Accede to Demands of Ne
gro Union.
DON’T EXPECT VIOLENCE.
About One Hundred Building*
Are Effected by Walkout Says
Building Inspector.
' Building in Richmond i* practically
at a standstill on account of the re
fusal of the union hodcarrlers to con
tinue work. They have asked for an
Increase from 25 cents an hour to 30
cents. The contractors have not only
refused their request, but will not
even consider It. Both sides declare
the fight will be to the finish.
Tho ultimatum of the associated
contractors was given Monday morn
ing. The workmen had assembled on
their respective buildings, and the
hodcarrleis were ready to begin if
agreeable terms were made, but when
their petition was rejected they threw
down their hods and refused to carry
another brick.
About one hundred buildings are
affected, but on a few work is still
In progress. Contractor Heady, who is
building three houses on Grove ave
nue, acceded to the request for the
S-PMir raised ancT“Ole Fulton “BHcTf
Company, which ts putting up three
homes in the West Knd, employs only
non-union men. and though a few of
these sympathized with the strikers
and quit their jobs, the large majority
are still at w-ork.
Practically all the non-union hod
carriers in Richmond are working un
der police protection.
In I.ee District about fort}- build
ings are in process of construction. Of
these only four are unaffected, ac
cording to the report made early In
the forenoon by the City Building In
spector. and while the hodcarrlers'
union will attempt no violence, ac
cording to the statements of Us offi
cers, it is not improbable that ,the
union men will prevail upon a num
ber of non-union workmen to leave
their Jobs in sympathy.
Among the contractors who are
holding out against the strikers and
who declare that they will fight them
to the, end are the following: Messrs.
n ..u iL n.
ers & Maynard, John T. Powers, Rob
ert Power*. C. S. Oliver and the Man

C. A. building waa a very active one.
The Hoys' Sunday Afternoon Club
met in the boys' apartments, in the
Boys' Bible Class room at 2:30 with
over one hundred boys present. The

things for the future. Next Sunday
having been declared Mothers’ Day
by the governor, the boys were unani
mous In the opinion that every boy
In the club should be present and
wear either a white rone or white car

new home is one of the best features
of the entire building. Distinguished
men who have looked over the build
in* comp&rd It to the Athletic Club
of Chicago In appearance, saying they
had neen nothing to equal its beauty
outside of the club.
In the social lobby there were con
gregated between aeventy-flv and one
hundred rrten where they enjoyed the
service of song and praise and many
men testified as to the many different
ways in which they had been helped
by the association. Notwlthstand the
fact that it was Sunday, it was hard
to keep men from looking over the
building and even wanting to take out
membership. Although the active
membership campaign closed on Fri
day night at 10.30 with great suc
cess. and a great line up of members,
men were continually pouring Into
the building and taking out member
ships on Saturday. On Saturday over
twenty men came to the counter and
filled up applications It la expected
that within the next thirty days the
association will be filled to Its fullest
capacity and that there will be a
waiting list for memberships The
members who have recently com# Into
the association are urged to make
themselves at home in the building
and to call within the next few days
and get Identification cards.

desires more than a merely clean city.

' he declares that If the citizens rally
as he believes they will, Richmond
i will be as bright and clean as a new
' pin by the end of the week.

connected with the city have heartily
