DEAF MUTE WANTS
G000 INTERPRETER
Is Sent as Delegate to ('(invention,
But (’nn't Deliver IIis
Speech.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 3.—
Yung Kwal, secretary of the Chinwsu
legation, 1s confronted to-day with the
almost hopeless tank of finding an in
terpreter for a Chinese deaf mute
who has been designated by his gov
ernment to attend the international
congress for the deaf and dumb to
be held at Colorado Springs next
month.
U Hung Yew Chinese consul at
flan Francisco, will be the official in
terpreter Tor China But as Id Hung
Yew is not a deaf mute and cannot
use the Chinese aign language, he
will be of no use to the mute rep
resentative of the yellow raoe. who Is
coming to America to participate In
the proceedings of the United States.
The others, however, will be able to
address the convention through Inter
prefers of one kind or the other, but
the lone Chinese will probably' he
able to do nothing more than up
pear at the gathering and watch In
uninterrupted silence the events that
transpire.
Vnless some one comes to the res
cue of Yung Kwal and finds an In
terpreter who knows Chines© and the
Chinese sign language, both, the Chi
nese delegate will be unable to tell
the assembled delegates what Is being
done for the deaf and dumb in h!s
own country.
Yung Kwal to-day appealed to the
State Department for aid, and the de
partment has joined the search.
It is rumored that there la an Amer
ican woman, once a delegate to a
similar congress In China, who spuaks
Chinese fluently and uses the sign
ianguage with facility, but she has
mot been found.

The spreading of gas house tar on
city road* Is strongly advocated by
i Councilman E. II. Ferguson. who
1 says that the product will serve to
lay the dust and do away with the
present nuisance to drivers of equip
p&ges
Crude oil has already been sprinkled
on several of the dirt thoroughfares,
IInd the effect has been advantage
ous The oil, however, Is rather ex
pensive. and Mr. Ferguson thinks
that the application of tar might
prove equally effective and result in
a. considerable saving. '1 he city, lie

very low price. The sale should bt

GREAT APPLE CROP
IS SWAMPING MARKET
Commission Merchants Here ( an not Give Fruit A wav—Ridiculous
.Prices Asked for Finest Grades—Barrel Upon Barrel Going
to Wa ste.
i
Apples from hillsides, apples from
valleys, apples from river bottoms and
apples of all descriptions from every
where have been unloaded on the j
Richmond market, and commission
merchants here are now racking their
brains for some novel method In
which to dispose of them. The time- *
honored scheme of “giving them
away” won't work. This has besn done
by several Cary street brokers, but
people evidently don't want them. Ef
forts have been made to dispose of !
them at rldtculous prices, but even a |
bargain of this nature does not ap- .
peal to the most parsimonious board
ing-house keeper. The crop this year
la almoBt unprecedented.
One merchant, who has received
dozens upon dozens of barrels of ap
ples. was Wednesday congratulating j
himself for his luck in giving away !
three barrels Tuesday afternoon.
The yield of apples this season in
all parts of Virginia Is tremendous.
Enough cannot be. realized on the
smaller varieties to pay freight
charges. It Is said, betters have been
sent out from Richmond to farmers to
stop shipping the fruit, unless It Is of ,
the best quality. In cases where fruit- j
Btand proprietors want a barrel of ap- j
pies two dollars is about the best price :
obtainable for the finest. big, juicy
specimens.
Fifty vents a barrel Is considered j
a splendid price for the poor grade 1
or dropped fruit. The great, hand- j
picked and hand-packed varletlee are
swamping the market, and the de
mand for them is very light.
Not in many years, It Is said, have
orchards of the Old Dominion been
so prolific In tho yield of summer ,
apples. Poaches also and other fruits
are unusually plentiful this season.
What to do with the tremendous j
receipts Is deeply concerning eommis- !
ston merchants. Shipment after ship- ;
rnsnt Is coming In. They are going '
to waste here, rapidly specking and
becoming unfit to oat.
On farms near Richmond huge, red
and yellow fruit may be seen dang
ling from all apple trees, while the
ground beneath them Is littered by ;
spoiling fruit.

The proposed new wharf and bulk- ]

to be arranged for by a committee i
named by the new council which con- '
venea Aug. 81. After many meetings
on land, and almost as many river
trips, during which the project wtl
discussed at great length by the com
mittee on James River Improvements,
members of that body, at their final
session Tuesday night washed their
hands of the entire affair and author

at a meeting held eeveral weeks ago.
The price agreed on wa* $24,000. This 1
sum wa* $4,000 In excess of the ap- !
propriatlon, however, and members of,
the flnanoe committee to whom the
matter was referred wesa taot fltfpo—dX
to agree to fluUMi J
During the discussion which pro
ceeded the tabling of the measure
Tuesday night It was suggested that
new bids be advertised for, but ouch
a atep was hot deemed feasible in that
no action tbe present committee might
take would be binding. Arguments
«ere also advanced urging the recom
mendation of the construction of a con
crete wharf City Engineer Bolling
explained that he had received esti
mates on work done In other cities, and
had found that the coat of building a
concrete wharf would not be much
greater than that of a timber wharf.
No such recommendation as that urged
was passed however. It being decided
to let the entire matter rest until the
new council 1r organized
Went Spend Own Money.
Juat before dlacuaalon of the sub
ject ended, John C. Kreeman member
from the Chamber of Commerce urged
that delegates be sent to the Atlantis
Deeper Waterways Convention to ba
held In Providence, R. I., August 31.
Mr. Freeman. while aware of the fact
that no appropriation for such a trip
had. or could be made bjf the present
council, was of the opinion that com
mittee members should make the trip
at their own expense, and then ask
council to reimburse them Practi
cally all of the members agreed that
such a trip would mean an acquisition
of valuable knowledge but none of
them seemed willing to take a chance
on their own money.
The sale of aand by the city to pri
vate parties was given a death blow
when the request of Thomas A. Barrv
and Company, to be allowed to pur
chase this commodity was refuted It
was explained that tbe sale might
cause complaints from Richmond sand
dealers. It was .also explained that
if aand were sold to on*. It would have
to be sold to all who wlahad to buy.

shrinkage in supply as to blndar the
