HEW CREMATORY FIGHT BEGUN 8F WOODWARD Asks Comptrollr and Treasurer Not to Make Payment for Plant This Month. Undaunted by h4s defeat by the may or and council in his fight to prevent the building of the $378,000 crematory and garbage disposal plant, Mayor elect James G. Woodward planned a second fight today. He made a personal request of Comptroller Goldsmith and Treasurer Peeples not to p>ay out any money for the new plant before the first of next year, the date on which he takes his office. As these officials are subordinate to and under the direction of the mayor and council, delay of any payment by them could be but brief, even though they desired tn comply with Mr. Woodward’s wish. Sees Violation of Ordinance. Neither of them believes there will be.any occasion to act, because it is hardly probable that any voucher will be drawn for payfnent on the new plant before the first of the year. Mr. Woodward’s new argument is that the spending of the $50,000 of bond money on the $378,000 crematory is a violation of the bond ordinance. The bond ordinance, as originally adopted by council, provided that txvo crematories should be built for the $50,000. It was under the provisions of this ordinance that the people voted the bonds. The plan was found to be' impracti cal. By a. new vote of the people, the restrictions were removed frotn the money, so that all of it could be spent on qne crematory. Argues For Another Vote. Mr. Woodwatd holds the matter should be submitted to the people again if the money is to be spent as part payment on a $378,000 plant. The ad vocates of the plant argue that all re strictions were remox-ed by the last vote of the people. The old cremator}' practically is torn down. Dr. W. I>. Gilbert, president of the board of health, said today work on the new plant would be begun to morrow. No payment is to be made on the new plant until $50,000 worth of work and material is to be upon the crematory grounds. Then the $50,- 000 of bond money is to be paid to the Destructor Company, which has the contract for the plant. But it is not expected that this money will be due to the company until after January 1. There will probably be a new fight in council over the matter, however, because more money is necessary for excavations. The board of health will cal! upon council for about SI,OOO more money for this purpose. FRIENDS SAY MISSING BRIDE-TO-BE ELOPED WITH HER OLD SUITOR BRISTOL, TENN., Dec. 10.—Miss Vera Ethel Willis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Willis, of Big Stone Gap, Va., and a prominent society girl of that city, is mysteriously missing, following the formal announcement of her engagement to Dr. Henry Hudson Naff, a prominent physician, of Knoxville. Tenn. Rela tives have come here in search of her, supposing that she was on a visit to the wife of J. G. Hagy, a postofffee inspec tor whom she frequently visited. Today it is believed Miss Willis eloped Sunday afternoon with a prominent young real estate man of Lynchburg, Va., to whom she was engaged prior to her en gagement to the Knoxville physician. It is understood that after she broke off the engagement with the Lynchburg man the latter became despondent and his busi ness partner wrote Miss Willis to help him bear the disappointment. Friends got a trace of a meeting of the girl and the Lynchburg man at a Bristol hotel Sunday afternoon. She came here presumably to buy a wending trous seau. She is a graduate of Sullins col lege. BROWN AND WILSON CELEBRATE BIRTH ON THE SAME DATE Governor Brown has discovered that his and President-elect Woodrow Wilson’s birthdays fall on the same date —Decem- ber 28. The z governor's first birthday occurred a few years before the president elect's, to be sure, but they both celebrate simul taneously nowadays. "We discussed the relations of the presidency and the governorships at the Richmond governors' conference.” said Governor Brown today, “and Governor Hadley made a fine suggestion, too. He moved that the conference adopt reso lutions of congratulations to both Gov ernor Wilson tend Governor Marshall, and that It should be recommended that the succession to the presidency and vice presidency be kept rigidly within the line of governors. "I think I shall write Governor Wilson and let him know our birthdays come on the same date. He may be very glad to hear it—who knows!" COUNt’gETS 2 LICENSES TO MARRY MISS WARREN JX'EW YORK, Dec. 10.

They do not play nosily, a? children are wont to do. There Is no hair-pull ing. There is rarely a whisper. The little ones seem to know that, their parents are at divine worship. The spirit of the meeting above is communi cated to their play room. This room is the latest feature of the big institutional church. It was pro vided to enable mothers with little ones to care for to attend church without inconvenience to themselves or neglect of their children. Mothers Forced To Remain at Home. There are many church-going women financially unable to employ a nurse for their children. The idea of leaving tlie little ones at home, unguarded against sudden illness,, fire, or a dozen other perils while the parent worshiped was. of course, out of the question. There were two alternatives —to take the children to church, or remain away from worship. The mothers generally chose the latter. Children can not sit quietly through a long service. They will fret, whimper, squirm. They be come an embarrassment to the parent and an annoyance to others in the church building. To solve the problem. Dp. Robert Stuart MacArthur, pastor of the Tab ernacle. instituted this rest room for the children. It is officially called the “creche.” Little Ones Left With Matron. When the parent comes to church with a child too young to appreciate the services, the little one is left with the matron in charge of this rooiVi, During the services the children are allowed to amuse themselves with play things. toys, books, or do they please so long as they do not disturb the worship upstairs. Mrs. Ida Richards Compton, the ma tron in charge, always is with them to look after their every care. Since the room was provided, the at tendance of mothers has increased no ticeably, while each service finds more children taken care of in the creche. HOUSE TAKES UP CONTEST FOR PENNSYLVANIA SEAT v.

Storm at Sea Plays Havoc With Caustic Cargo ACID BURNS SHIP CREW NEW YORK, Dec. 10. —Twenty members of the crew of the steamer Etonian, from Antwerp, were suffering from severe acid burns when that steamer arrived in port here, due to a thrilling experience with a cargo of acid casks that broke during a storm and mingled their fiery contents with the sea and wind.

Effecting,what they assert will be a saving of $40,000 yearly to the county through the operation of the salary act, the Fulton commission today lopped oft $24,430 from the office expense esti mates of the four officials who have complied thus far with all the pro visions of the new law. The tax col lector, tax receiver and the ordinary are contesting the validity of the act In court. Instead of getting $99,930 to run their offices for 1913, the court clerk, the sheriff, the solicitor general and the so licitor of the criminal court will be handed $75,500 from the county coffers for the first year of the salary system experiment. With the exception of the sheriff’s estimate the commission’s pruning was light, but the jail office figures were cut down SIB,OOO. Sheriff Mangum asked for $50,000 and got $32,000; Ar nold Broyles, court clerk, (requested $38,280 and got $35,000; Solicitor Dor sey asked for $6,250 and received $5,- 000, and Solicitor Lowry Arnold asked for $5,400 and was given $3,500. These figures do not include the salary of each official. Each one of the four officers will receive a salary of $5,000. To Save $40,000. In fixing the salary aggregates for the four offices, the commission main tained that the operation of the salary law would bring the county some $40,- 000 over and above all expenses. As a result of the operation of ths salary act the commission will taka direct charge of the county Jail as far as the operating expense is concerned, and will handle the feeding of prison ers. This has been done heretofore by Sheriff Mangum, under contract with the commission. According to the auditor’s report on the fees of the four offices—the report upon which the county made its ag gregate estimates—the sheriff, under contract with the county commission at 45 cents a day for each prisoner, has netted some $12,000 in the past year. The commission referred the Jail mat ter to its public building committee. Appointments in Ten Daye. According to t’he provisions of the new law\ the four officers affected are required to make their appointments and fix the salaries of their appointees within ten days after their office ex penses are fixed In the lump by the commission. A list of these appointees and the salary of each is to be given publication. Members of the commission asserted that they had been guided almost en tirely by the fees earned by the offices in the past year and the estimates sent In by the officials as to the number of deputies and assistants employed in the various offices. In estimating the earn ing power of the offices, including the salaries to be paid the four officials un der the new law, said the committee, the county should save $40,000 yearly. No attempt was made on the part of the commission to estimate the earning capacity of the offices of tax receiver, tax collector or ordinary. FALLS INTO VaTaND IS SCALDED TO DEATH ST.
