C. W. Campbell, of Huntington, was

licity in such cases helps to defeat
the objeel of the parole law.

num pay, and what became of It?" is
another question he suggests, refer
ring to the penalty imposed on James
S. Farn um, a liquor agent of Charles?
ton, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy,
and was lined $5.000. The Governor
also asks about the conditions of "the
Goodman and Fleishmann compro?
mises." alluding to two cases involved
in the dispensary graft trials.
He also asks why Thomas B. Folder,

THOUSANDS FEAR
Ail Classes of People Leave Pe?
king at First Oppor?
tunity.
Peking, January 21.?The weekly
express from Hankow to-day was
[crowded with fugitives. These Included
college Professors? the 'Italian minister,
minor diplomats and persons of means,
who found tho moment convenient for
vacation or retirement. The bubonic
'plague, which had its first victim hero
?several days ago, and, it is believed,
many since then, is the primary causu
of the outpouring through the gates
of the city. Even military officers took
opportunity by the forelock and joined
l the departing throngs.
I A3 a matter uf oflielu! record, no
new cases of bubonic plague in Peking
j were reported to-day, but the opinion
I is held at the legations that the
Chinese, fearing the visitations of the
foreign doctors and the summary de?
struction of the dead, sire not report
; ing Illness of any sort, and arc pos
? sibly secreting the bodies.
? Tho newspapers are supporting the
government in Its efforts to allay tho
' fears. The masses, nevertheless, are
j much alarmed by gruesome reports,
I such as one alleging that nie. Russians
at Harbin are casting the afflicted into
j poisoned wells. This story perhaps do
: veloped from the possible use of lime
j pits for the dead.
Meanwhile, the diplomatic body has
J not been able to agree as to the mun
! nor in which the legation quarter
should be quarantined. The Germans,
Austriaim and tirltish arc benind the
oarred gates of their own compounu.?,
j and are advocating drastic Isolation.
I the Japanese, who have the largest
community outside the quarter, and
i perhaps the most pressing general in?
terests to be looked alter hi Peking,
j are supported by the Russiane! in argu
i nig the necessity of continuing dlpio
J matlc relations with tho j Chinese
I foreign board.
William J. -Calhoun, the American
I minister, has adopted a middle course.
lie has suggested keeping within tlie
j quartr-r- all the guards, and the cx
? elusion of the Chinese except such ottl
1 cials as are necessary in connection
with the legations. The moderates arc
I ridiculing the others, declaring that
I they are panic-strficken, while political
motives are openly voiced as actuating
j the Japanese. So far only a general
j measure of rjuarantlne has been under
{ taken.
I The disease has reached Pao-Ting-Fu,
in the province of Chi-Li, on its south
j ward progress. Pao-Ting-Fu is
I seventy miles to tho southwest of Pe
' king, and figured in tho Boxer in
' surrection of 1900. The viceroy of Han

Washington, January 2 1.?Charles P.,
Beatlie, United States district attorney
at New Orleans, has refusc-d t<> accede
to Attorney-General Wickersham's re?
quest that lie resign, and has so notl
lied tlie Department of Justice.
No action had been taken late to?
day, but It was said the usual custom
followed In such cases was to send
the nomination of a successor to tin;
Senate. Mr. Bcattio's removal would
be accomplished by the confirmation of
his suecessor.
Tlie department interprets that Dis?
trict Attorney Beatt'e would consider
his resignation a public apology for
his recent criticism of the Attorney
General's decision in the New Orleans
clearing house cases.
The offending interview, which Beat
tie gave out to a New Orleans news?
paper, soon after a grand jury failed
to return conspiracy indictments
against the New Orleans Clearing
House Association, was brought to Mr.
Wickersham's attention only a day or
two ago, and his request for Bcattic's
resignation followed.

Mexico City, January 24.?Eighty

IS B00KMAKING LEGAL?
IN STATE OF VIRGINIA
If the decision of Felice Justice Duncan
of Norfolk, in dismissing the case against
Sidney Hofhelmer, of Norfolk, charged with
making- book In a Norfolk hotel upon the
results of the races in Jacksonville, stands,
much to the surprise of the people of Vir
gut I a, bookmaklng is not unlawful In the

Hofhelmer was arrested charged with
bookmaklng. When he was arraigned for
trial ho proved, to tho satisfaction of the
justice at least, that the law specified pool
making, which was a bet made among a
number of people, the proceeds to ba equally
divided, while bookmaklng was simply a
between between two people.
The people of Norfolk claim that the de?

will mean that the Jamestown track will

speeding through tho darkness up Sev?
enth Street lato yesterday a northbound
lorest Hin ear crashed into tho side of a
load of tobacco driven by a Chesterfield
Jjirmer. and upset tho wason and contents
Strange to say. Mule ilamagc was don<?
either to the cur or to tho wagon. No ont
?vaa injured and the two mules escaped with
a bad scare.
Aside from having his load of fragrant
leaf scattered far and wide over Seventh
Street, and being rather unceremonious! j
unseated himself, tho farmer was unhurt
A. wholo train of canvas-covered farm
wagons was crossing Seventh Street at Cary
as the car came up tho track, but through
some miscalculation, prosumablv accountable
to the fact that tho clang of the bell was
drowned by tho clatter of the iron wheel."'
over tho cobble stones, ono of the wagons
was struck.
The heavy traffic, that usually crowds the
cars about iiiat tlmo of the day was held
up while tho names of all concerned were
taken and the wagon righted. The farmer
was positive that the motorman had fail?
ed to ring his bell, but tho mptorman and
several spectators were equally sure tho
gong had bean sounded.
Important Decision.
"'The mere fact of walking along a railway
track or through railway yards does not
render a man criminally liable" was tho
extremely important decision handed down
by Judge E. H. Wells Monday from the
Hustlng Court. Part 2. bench, In dismissing
the case against John Massie, charged with
trespassing on the property of tho Atlantic
Coast Line.
The decision Is particularly interesting and
pertinent to the police justices of the city,
as many and many a man has been jailed
or lined for Just this offense. This is the
fit-it time that suoh a case has been carried
as high as the Hustings Court.
Massie was arrested recently by Special
Officer Belcher, of tho Atlantic Coast Line,
Tor trespassing on the property of the road:
tried before Justice Maurice, of tho Police
Court, Part C, and sentenced to serve thirty
ways in Jail. The ca30 was appealed by the
defense, and Monday d Ism Used by Judge
Wells with the abovo quoted decision.
'I he action on tho part of tii^ court was
the result of the statement by tho Com
monw.*aIih's attorney to the effect that Ma?
slo had done nothing nslde from meroly
being on tho property of the company. In
commenting on the decision Judge Wells
said to a Tlmcs-Dlspatch reporter that most
men Jailed on the technical charge of tres?
passing on the property of railroads were
under suspicion a6 brass stealers or cat
robbers.
j "If every man." said the judge, "whe
I walks along a railway track was to be pros
j ecuted for trespass the courts would bo able
to handle nothing else."
Some Minor Arrests.

demeanor. Prank Johnson was arrested yes?
terday afternoon by Special Officer Utlcy.
of the Atlantic Coasjt Lino Railroad, and
will appear before Justice Maurice this

Moving Tplmcco Plant.
Moving the offices of the E. K. Victor To?
bacco Company from the north sldo of tho
river to tho new offices of the company at
the. corner of Xlnotecnth Street and Semmcs
Avenuo has begun. As was announced at
the time of the purchase of thu old car
barns of tho Virginia P.allway and Power
Company, on Scmmos Avenue, that the com?
pany would leave its old offices on Shoekoo
txlp In order to bo near the factory and new
warehouse* In South Richmond.
For the office building the smaller of tho
old car barns has boen remodeled, while tho
larger building will be made Into a tobacco
warehouse, which will be operated in con?
junction with the factory and two ware?
houses already owned on Semmos Avenue
by the Victor company.
Mr. Victor, the head of the firm and the
German consul for tho city of Richmond,
saw not long ago the possibilities of South
Richmond as a tobacco centre, and lead thu
recent movement, which has resulted in the
removal of the American Tobacco Compnny
and the Patterson Company to tho Southalde,
1 by quietly buying up land around Nineteenth
and Semmos Avenue and erecting a mam?
moth factory, and added a few months ago
' a reinforced concrete warehouse that is u
i model of warehouse. construction. After
I erecting this plant in tlie Southsidc Mr.
j Vietor soon saw the advisability of locating
tho officea of the company In the neighbor?
hood, and when the chance to buy the old
I car barns was offered he snapped it up.
It Is expected that the operation of mov?
ing the books and fixtures of the offices will
ho completed In a few days and the old
offices abandoned.
Street Improvements.
By rushing the work with unusual rapidity
tho contractors for the curbing ami gutter?
ing of Stockton and Eighth Streets have
nearly finished their undertaking.
On Stockton Street, from Eighth to Four?
teenth Streets, one sldo of tho street has
been completely curbed, and tho same on
Eighth from Everett to Mc.Donough. The
guttering, however, lias not progressed so
well, as this work must follow the. curbing
construction and cannot precede or accom?
pany It.
Fifteen thousand dollars has been appro;
priatcd by the City Council for the improve?
ment In tho curbtngs and gutters of the
Southside. nnd the cntlro work will prob?
ably be finished before spring. It is under?
stood that there Is morj work of this char?
acter to be undertaken by tho city.

and leveling tho Petersburg Turnpike from
Hull to Maury Streets will be completed,
and that highway?on tho left of tho car
