And not soon will the occasion he

DREAD EPIDEMIC
Infantile* Paralysis IVclaml bvj
Health Officer to He Well
Under Control.
Prompt action by the local Health
Department in co-operating with
physicians in fighting Infantile I
Paralysis, has resulted in checking
what promised to be an epldlmie of
the disease In Richmond.
Replies to Inquiries recently sent
out by Dr. Levy indicate that all
the patients now afflicted are pro
gressing toward recovery In satis
factory fashion, and that there are
no new cases.
Such a state of affairs is especially
irratif vimr td Health 1 «vv In
that the latter declare* that, contrary j
,to the generally prevalent opinion
|the disease is both Infectious and j
contagious. The disease Is trans
mitted he says, through germs re
elding In the saliva of the patient, ;
and in the muclous discharge from
the hose.
While there Is no standard cure for
the ^ailment, the most efficacious
treatment lies in speedy. jetton on
the part of the physicians. Such !
action has been taken In Richmond
and according to Health Officer Levy,
there soon will be not a single case
In the city.

STEVENS' DENIKl
ADVOCATES RUMOR
Wording of Tolrgrams t© Utiaiii
, Ex r of Commerce and The
Virginian is Positive.
NO CAUSE Foil WORRY
Humors- from Cincinnati Are
Definitely Disjiosoil of and
Chamber is Satisfied.
For the present, at least, Richmond |
can rest easy from any tear />1 a
transfer of the general offices of the .
Chesapeake and Ohio Kailway Com- |
pany to Cincinnati. Absolute denial of |
the rumors from that city has been 1
made by President George W. Stevens, i
of the railway company, and this is
all that can be desired by Klchmond.
The denial of the president came
Thursday afternoon in the form of
telegrams to The Richmond Virginian,
the Richmond Chamber of Commerce.
Following the publication of the
rumor. Acting President Carrington at
once began activities and arter many |
attempts finally succe</de.d in finding
Priesdent Stevens and having delivered
to him an urgent request for infor
mation. The telegram of denial was
the result and this caused great re
lief on all sides.
At the offices of the chamber1 Fri
day It was stated that nothing remains
to he done by that body in the mat
ter. "We aye perfectly satisfied with
the outcome of the matter," said
Secretary Dunlop. 'O f course, there
is nothing else for us to do." he con
tinued, "we have, the authoritative
denial of the rumor 1n toto and that
is all we tare for."
No Cliangc I.lkely.
Tho following telegram from ,
President Stevens was received by ;
The Yirarinian Thursdav and seems
to be positive enough In diction;
WHITE SULPHUR, W. V A. i
August 18, 1910.
"Report from Cincinnati Is untrue. !
Removal of headquarters from Rich
mond has not heen considered.
"GEO. W. STEVENS.”
In view of the positive denials of
the president It would seem that the
story from Cincinnati was nothing
more than those that have been com
ing In from time to time on the same
subject. Cincinnati business men want (
the general offices but Richmond is
the adopted place and will remain so, j
at least for some time to come.
Inventor Says He Took His
Patent and Refuses to
Pay for it.
WASHINGTON, August 19.—-"Cot
ton King" Samuel J. Sully, John Hays
Hammond and others were made de
fendants to-day in a suit filed In the
district of Columbus supreme court
to Lemuel A. Green, of Greenvlfle,
8. C„ who seeks to recover a letter
of patent for Improvements in cot
ton grading, which he assigned John
J. Welsh, of New York, as trustee,
pending the organization of the Farm
era' Cotton Grader Company, In con
sideration of a promise of $50,000
cash and $50,000 iri stock In the pro
posed oempany. Other defendants
named in the petition are ^Harris
Hammon, son of John Hays Ham
mond; John J. Welsh, the Cotton
Grader Company and the Cotton Ex
ploration Company.
Fraud is alleged against Sully and
the Hammonds by Green, who charges
that they induced the trustee to trans
fer the letters of patent to the Grader
Company and then rerused to pay him
the $50,000 cash, although a $60,000 ,
block of stock was given to him. He j
alleges that the Grader Company then {
assigned the patent rights to the Cot- j
eration Company in consideration of .
$1 royalty on each grader sold anil ‘
that the entire stock or the new cor- '
poration was issued ot Sully and the ,
Hammonds "for the sole purpose of
defrauding the plaintiff "
Green sets forth in his petition that
he interested Sully in his patent, and
that the "Cotton King” in turn in
terested the Hammonds in the pro
ject, and that the Hammonds "aided
and ahetted-the defendant Sully In his
fraudulent purposes."
The Farmers' Cotton Grader Com
pany was organized with a capitali
zation of $250,000, Sully being elected
president and Harris Hammond treas
urer.
Green offers to return the stock and j
demands the return of his patent j
rights. Justice Gould to-day cited the
defendants to appear in court next
week and show' cause why the letters
of patent should not be returned.
