o'clock.. Hon: Charles P. Jones, reetor of
thc University; Hon. Eppa Hunton, Jr?
of this city, nnd Mr. Danlol Harmon, of
Chnrlottesville, who wero na7ned by tho
Board of A'isitors as a subcommlttoo to
appear ln behalf. of the Boaz blll by
the. Board of A'isitors, are ln tho city
and held a conforenco at Murphy's last
7i!ght. They will appear and pross the
pnssngo of the Boaz measure, which pro
vides tor tho slmple crentlon of an exeoti
tlvo head and leaves tho deftnltlon ot
hls powers, dutlos and salary, as well ns
hl3 olectlon, to the Board of Vlsltors.
Tho West bill, which was offered by
request, provldes for a compostte board,
containing threo members of tho Board
of A'isitors, threo of the fnculty and

duty it shall bo to elect the presidcnt,

lt ls sald that tho faculty and the
Alumnl Association nre behind tliis bill.
Mc-ssrs. Jones, Hunton ni7d Harmnn and
Congressman Glass aro nmong those who
will speak to-day for the Boaz blll, and
the olher measure will have a number of
strong advocates. So tho meoting prom
iso.5 to be a very lively one.
The Legislature ls golng to take a step
shortly looking to a termlnntior. of its
sesslon. and most of its membc-rs seem
agrceable to thls course.
Not long ago Captain Charles Trotter
Lnsslter, of Petei'shiiry, endeavored to
secure tho ndoptlon of a resolution Ilmit
ing tho sesslon to tlie flrst day of May.
Thls was earnestly opposed by Mr. Hun
ley, of Mathbws; and otbors, and ftnnlly
a substituto,. prepared by Mr. Cardwell,
of Hanover, was adopted, whlch declared
lt to bo tho purpose of tho body to dls
poso of Its work. ns speedlly as mlght be
found conslsteht with tho publlc good.
Now Alr. I-Iunley proposes to do a llt?
tlo llnillliig bhnself nnd will to-day offer
tho followlng resolutlon, cuttlng off tho
introduction of new matter aftor March
5lh
"Resolved, by tho Houso of Delegates.
the Senate cohcii'rrlhg; That after the 5th
of Maroh. 1903, no bills shall be lntroduced
othor thnn thoso 7-ol:iting to thc revislon
of Mie laws to con form to the new Con?
stitutlon nnd those ennctlng such new
Inws ns are necessary to put said Consti?
tutlon lnto complete aud effectlve opera
..ir.n."
It Is bolleved that even wlth the Hunloy
resolution adoptod, tho Legislature wlll
havo enough work to do upon mattors
already lntroduced lo keep It hero untll
lato ln tho summer. The resolutlon of
Mr. Hunley will llkely pass. as strong
leadors, both In the House and Senato,
havo declared themselves In Its favor.
Ohalrman John AAr. Churchman. of the
House Roads Committee, snid last night
that he bolleved that his blll on the sub?
ject of corporatlons would pass both
houses ln tlme for the w.w corporntlon

STATION IN
CITYJALL
New Scheme That May Soon
Be Presented In Council.
WOULD BE TOTAL CHANGE
Tho Iden Is to Flt Up a Statlon In the
Basement ofthe City Hall and
Abolish iho Present
Ones.
Preaent lndlcntloii3 polnt to tlio Intro?
ductlon ln tho Council, nnd iposslbly the
Pollce Boai"d, nt an early date, of a schomo,
which, if adopted. wlll result ln the rovo
lutlonlzatlon of the pollco depurtment of
tho clty and tho inaugiirntlon of an en?
tirely new system, whlch may show a
decided lmprovement over tho plan that
has beon ln vogue for yenrs,
It Is proposed to cstablish ln RIchmond
what ls known ln pollco paxlance as the
olght-hour system. Thls means that In?
stead of operntlng as now, tho department
wlll bo placed on a new basls. tho men
belng rcquired to slave only elght hours
ench day, whcreas they now work Togu
larly nlne hours.
Instend of throo districts wlth a statlon
to each dlstrlct, as there are now, there
wlll be ln the future, grantlng, of course,
that tho plan carfles, only ono' dlstrlct,
whlch wlll embrnco the entiro corporate
limlts, and ono statlon.
Thls will be centrally locitted. |ir?r
sumnbly and preferably ln the Clty Hall.
RETURN ALL OFFIECRS.
By the abolltlon of the threo districts.
none of the oflices of captaln wlll be done
nway wlth, whllo probably all of the
sorgeants wlll "also bo retalned.. But. In?
stead of a cnpt.-iin being held responfllble
for a certaln dlstrlct, as ls now tne cus
tom," ho wlll for tho perlod of elght hours
each day be hold nccoumtablc for the do
lnga ln the entiro clty. nnd he will have
the manngemont of many moro pollcemen
thnn he now has.
The plan doesn't contemplnte any
change In the executivo head of tho de?
partment. for by those who nre most ar
dently advocatlng the system it ls renl
lzed thnt no better or more capablo per?
son could be sceured to till thls naturally
necessary posltlon. In n word, the duties
of the Chief wlll be pretty much ns thev
now aro, wlth the exception that ho wlll
he brought In close touch wlth tho de
partrriont.
The agltatlon of the olght-hour system
Is the result of tho repented demands for
moro pollcemen In the clty. Certnln Inter?
eated city olliclnls h_.ro lately been Inver.
tlgatlng the pllice systems of dlfforcnt
oltles, nnd it has been dlseovered that
the modus operancli ln RIchmond ls qulte
dlfferent from tho present system in
most cltles over tlie country. It is clalm?
ed that fewer patrolmen are on the
streets In RIchmond. than in other towns
wlth a department the same size nnd
worklng under a dlfferent system, as
result of which the proposed change will
be ugltnted.
CHEAPER SCHHME.
It !s nrgued that tho olght-hour system
Is much chemper. More patrolmen. it Is
clalmed, could be put on the streets for
less money than under the present pollcy,
while the men would bo better fltted for
duty. In a word, It Is stated that Ihe1
Richmond plan ls nntiquated and Ineffl
elent, wlllle the now system would provc
an emlnent success.
Tlme after tlme, year after yenr, thc
Board "of Pollce Commlsslonors come to
the Council with a request for moro men,
They nre not g_.en slraply because the
city dnesn't see its way clear to paylng
the ndditlonol expenso. It has been ad
mltted that the streets are not sufllclntly
patroled, nnd that more pollcemen would
prove a boon to the communlty- ln the
way of protection, hut other departments
have gotten away wlth the spolls.
And so it has happened that the coun?
cllmen, realizlng tliat more men are need
ed on tho streets. Jiavebeen looking about
for some system for reach Ing thlm result
without putthig more men on tho pay
roll. And nt lost >t is clalmed, that the
plim has been worked out and wlll. if
trled, prove a xnammoth success, estah
lishlng nll that is clalmed and 5 vlng the
people better protection for the same
money and without addlflonal men.
CITY HALL BASEMENT.
To be conclse. tho new system embraces
an expendlture of 11 few thousands for
the purpose of flttlng up a sultable cen?
tral statlon, but this sum. It is nrgued,
would soon bo ropaid to the clty. lt ls
proposed to remodel thc basement' of the
Clty Hall. makinjrlt lnto an up-io-da'o
pollce bnrracks, wlth cells sufflcient for
the retentlon of those prisoners who may
bo taken In during tho nlght or day.
By thoso who havo Investigatcd the
mattor it is stated that those cells could
be erected for a comparatlvely small
amount. and that no o.h-er expendlture
would bo necessary to put tlio system in
opernllon,
It ls proposed to do away with tho
three statlpns, ceftti-allzing tlie men nt a
central slatlon. For Illustratldn snke,
!t. will bo slalcd lhat 100 men are netlvo
l.v engaged ln patrol duty, outslde. tho
captnins and sorgeants.
D1VISION OF FORCE.
Under the -clght-hour system tho "hun?
dred mon would bo divided into threo
squads, not nece.'isnrlly ati equal num?
ber for ench of Iho threo dlvlslons of. tho
day. It ls recognized that n's many offl?
cers are not needed in tho day ns at
nlght. consequently ll has been suggest
ed that tho hundred bo apportloned us
follows: Forly between 4 P. M, andl'P
M. und 12 P. M, nnd S A. M. This would
eave twenty men for the dny duty, from

THECHURCH
Want to Take Second-Baptist
, to the West End.
THECONGREGATIONMEETS
And After Discussion Lays the lmpor?
tant Matter Over Until a Littlc
Later On?Some
Views.
Lengthy dlscusslon last nlght by the
congTcgatlon of the Second Haptlst
Church developed tlio fact that qulto a
number of tho tnost pro7n!nent and In
fluentlal of Ito members are ln favor of
locatlng tho proposed now houso of wor
sliip far Into the West'End, whoro In the
courso of the developmonl of the clty lt
wlll be tho center of what promlses to be
tlie most prosporous nnd desirable com
munlty of I.Ichmond. The entlre quos?
tlon, however, was lald over untll thc
next buslness meetlng of the church.
when a llnal vote wlll probabiy be taken.
WHY KfcUECTED.
It wlll he recalled tbat tbe plans of the
church were rejected for one reason be?
cause they dld not provlde what many o.f
the members thought was an adequate
arrnngement for the Sunday-school, It
wns deslred, above all thlrigs, lo have a
briglit and cheery room for the childreri,
But the lot at Franklln and Adums, It
was hold, would permlt of only ono con
structlon?the Sunclay-nchool would have
to bo in tho bas-emont nnd partly in the
ground", So the church appointed a com?
mlttee to consider the advlsablllty of so
curing a new sito.
Last nlght thls commlttee reported to
the effect that no. othor slte waa avall
able. It recommended that the new church
be erected upon the slto llrst selected nt
Adnms and Franklln.
Consldorab'.o dlscusslon followed the
nresentation of tho report. Thoreupon de-"
veloped a proposltlon that tho church
move far out lnto tbo West Hnd, where
it would bo in tho llne of the march of the
clty. Promlnent mem!>ers urged that iu
ton yenrs' tlmo thls great sectlon In the
nelghborhood of Lee monumont would bo
thickly settled by somo of tbo best people
Ir. Hlchmond, nnd that an old and strong
Baptlst church would ho needed tliero.
Somo of the downtown members mlg... be
lost by the change, but the church would
De bullding for all tlme, and would have
to look far lnto Iho future.
WILLING TO >VA1T.
One of the most influential members in
the cnurch declared that for hls part he
waa wllllng to wult flve or ten years to
bulld, provlded the church oventually
went further west. Personally lt wouiu bo'
rnoro convenlent for hlm to have tbe
church at Adams and Fi-anklin, but he
was forcod to see that In the days to
como the church would regret lt If lt
loeated there.
Counter nrguments were presented, and
Unally, when a vote was about to be
taken, lt was moved that in vlew of the
great importanco of the matter It be laid
over untll the npxt business meetlng of
the congregatlon. Tho motlon prevalled
by a large majorlty. 9
