IMcresting Bill Offered by
Mr. Owen.
WANTS QUICK RETURN5
More Evidence as to the Jordan Oyster
Bill?Roads Committee to Report
on Corporations To-Day?Im?
portant Matlers to Be Up.
Hon. John J. Owens, of Prlnce Ed
ward, has offered ln the House a blll
whlch wlll be of Interest to tho commls
flon merchants, as well as to the far?
mers of the State.
The measure, whlch Is deslgncd to
make tho farmer more prompt ln thelr
rcturns for goods conslgned to them, is
as follows:
"Be it enacted by the General As
sembly of Vlrglnla, that whenever any
commlsslon merchant shall have made
sale of nny conslgnment of farm product
he shall not later than the followmg
day niail to the consignor an itemized
Statement of the transaction, showlng
the date of sale, the quantity and prlce
of tlio products and the name and ad?
dress of the purchaser.
"Any c/jjumlsslnn merchant wllfully
falling .Jjj poraplj'' with the provislons of
-ihls act shall Jorfeit hls commlsslon on
nald sale and be flned not less than ten
tlollarc, nor more than one hundred dol
lars; to bo recovered as other fmes duo
the Commonwealth."
In ciscusslng the reason whlch actuated
hlm in offering the measure, Mr. Owen
said when seen last nlght:
"Many of the famiera and shlppers of
farm products have complnlned to me in
regard to tho delay ln gettlng reports.
from their shlpments, They also com
plaln a.s to shortage ln welghts, and
prices below market quotatlons. They
nre compelled under present conditlons
to rely entirely upon the stntements of
the commlsslon merchant. This blll ro
quiros tlie name of purchaser to be yiven
in these reporta, and consequcntly tho
shipper has a wlder flold for Investiga?
tion when ho tlilnks ho has not been
trcuted falrly."

u conference with the General I-awa Com?
mlttee of that body yesterday afternouu,
and completed tho flnal draft of thelr
report on the subjoct of corporations. and
It wlll be submitted to the House to-day.
The report, whlch is a volumlnous docu
ment, Is largely the handlwork of Colo?
nel James lt. Caton, of Alexandria,
though after havlng boon drawn by hlm,
it wils consldered for days and days by
the other mombers of the subconxmlttee
and then by the full committee.
Tho report takes the artlcle of the new
Constltutlon on corporations nnd blends
It wlth the present laws on the subject,
so as to make them comform to each
other ln every miuute detall. The Houso
wlll likely take it up for considoration
as soon as tho tax bill ls dlsposed of, and
lts conslderatlon wlll requlre a great deal
of time.
Full and eomplete provtslons are made
for the new Corporatlon Commlsslon.
whlch Is to take offlce on March lst, and
ln short puts Into operatlon all tho ma
chlnory along thls Uno whlch was pro?
vlded by the corporatlon sectlon of the
new Constltutlon.
.The Roads Commltteo of tho House

of the historlc biunches uf the Christian

ances went, made any uso of Its valuable
opportunlties or gavo any heed to its calls,
But for somo reason, aud possjbly those
reasons are not so very far to seek, those
conditlons seem to bo changing. Others
piitslde of the historlc biuiichos of the

tnat tho Lenteii season offcrs to organ
