Acquitted on Appeal on Charge |
of Selling Liquor to
Minor. i
Reversing the action of the Police;
Justice, the jury in the Hustings Court !
yesterday acquitted John Powers, bur; (
tender at Murphy's Hotel, on the.
? harne of selling whiskey to Robert G.j
Jones, of Petersburg, alleged to have :
been a minor. In the Police Court |
Powers was lined |5tt and tfut under
bond of ?.*,00 for on.' year. Had this
decision been sustained the hotel
would have lost its license.
A<lIon was brought against Powers
and the hotel by Jones's father. .1. II.
Jones, hi" 200 Sycamore street. Peters?
burg, who walked Into the liar, he said,
just as his son was In the act of re?
ceiving a drink from powers. Attor?
ney Gilbert Pollock, (or the defense,
moved that Hie warrant, which had
previously lieen amended, be quashed,
on the ground that Powers was not
named as a licensed liquor dealer. This
was overruled, and after Mr. Pollock
had noted on exception, the trial was
KOiie into. It took the Jury but a short |
while to tiring In the verdict of not
guilty.
Apparently Mr. Jones was not at all
satisfied with the result, and especially
with certain things that Attorney Pol?
lock brought in evidence. When court
adjourned he remarked In Mr. Pollock
that they were both men, and intimated
that he would like to have the case out
In a personal encounter. There were
policemen present, however, and Judge
Witt also look r. hand, saying that the
court would deal with any one who' was
inclined to resort to violence. The ln
I cldent passed off without further show
of ill feeling;.
Pertinent Comment
BY GUS MALBERT
Lots of things can he said in a
column of this sort which ' would not
at all be acceptable In a news story
concerning a basehall pmo. For In?
stance, while the story of the last ball
game in Danville hinted that the um?
pire, Cook by name, was bail, it did
not tell just how bad he was. In the
eighth Inning of the last Danville
game?the inning in which three runs
were scored and the game practically
won?Alexander hatted a ground ball
to Raker. Frye and Laughlln were on
first and second respectively. The ball
that Raker got was right on third hug,
ami he couldn't get away from getting
Lnughlin, as he (Laughllni was forced;
If any question existed as to which
man was out, Alexander at first or
Lnughlin at third, that'question could,
in tlie mind of any man looking at tin
play, have concerned only first base.
Bui that isn't all. The fact is that
Baker completed as pretty a double
piny as has ever been pulled off on any
diamond. But L'mps t'ook called
Langhltn. Hie man forced at third, safe,
and Alexander out. Mad Hie play been
called as It happened! Ihe side would
have been ret lied, 'and the fluke hit of
Brady, which scored three, would never
have happened. This explanation Is
made in justice m the Colls. Naturally
I Baker wan sore over Hie decision, and
jjie told CoOk what he thought. '
The argument which ensued was a
question between Cook and Baker.
Cook did fine 'him and could have or}
dored blm off the grounds, lie did not
order, htm off. and the avalanche of
oillcluls which descended on the
diminutive local thlrd-snckcr wns un?
called for. As a matter of fact, they
hud no right on the diamond until the
umpire called for police protection or
for the olllccrs' nld to remove a man
from the game. However, what muk?s
it all the worse is the fact that one of
the men look his pistol?a long-bar?
reled :t6?from his 'lip pocket and
placed It in his coat pocket. pre?
sumably to havo it easily i accessible.
And till of this for it 116-pound giant.
Now n little more for (Imps Cook.
He misses being tin umpire about as
much as any man who over worked in
tills league, lie was bad on bnlls and
strikes: he was worse on base de?
cisions, and to sum it all up, lie Is the
laughing stock of lite ball players. A
I talk with several of the Unnville men
?and they are nice fellows?brought
out the information Jhal they were
well 'aware of the rankness of the
work of Hie nnips. and especially of
his raw deal to the locals. Every nan
of them knew that Baker had com?
pleted the play, but they were In no j
position to make any statement. Wher?
ever Cook has worked he has brought
dissatisfaction. He didn't know that
a pitcher on the rubber without the
bull In bis hand was guilty of n balk.
President Williams Is \\'orking hard i
to make this league a success, and he
can do good work right now by get- !
ting a new crew of umpires fron which
to make his selections. This, with the
exception of ' Kelt man. who has been
eminently satisfactory, and Henderson,
about whom little is known, but who
worked well while here. Eck man and ]
Henderson look like n good nucleus
to start with. The rest will never do.
If it were one club or one man kicking
against their work something might
lie wrong with the man or the club
making the kick. But when tlip club
managers are unanimous in speaking
of how bad the men are, then some
cognizance must be made of their out?
cries.
The president of the league is per?
fectly right In saying that he is going
to stand by Iiis umpires. But he must
got umpires?and personally I believe
that he tirtll ? who know the game. Es?
pecially is this true whore a lot of
young hall players are being broken
in. The youngsters usually fool that
? they know the game from beginning to
end. and when they do find that they
really know more than the man who is
directing the piny there will be, and
can be. no discipline or respect. Had
Sir. Williams witnessed the Danville
series, as did the writer, nnd watched
the work of Deary and Cook, he would I
come to ahout the same conclusion. No
charge is made that they actually tried 1
to help one team or hurt another. They J
may have been fair: at least, they were I
bad on both sides, hut they were in- I
competent.
Will history repeat ilself. and will
Boanoke win to-day after the slaugh?
ter of yesterday?
If you think it is any fun scoring a
game when every man on the team
but three changes positions. and
changes them frequently, set out and
try it.
Everybody scored nnd everybody
hit. excopt Cy Pearce', and ho didn't
got a chance.
Truck Egnn led the procession with
four safe ones out of four times up.
Martin got three out of five, and
Cownn got throe out of four.
Baker nnd Mc each got two out of
throe, but one of Mcs was n triple,
which counted In the run-getting.
And everybody mnnnged to cross the
pnn, oven the mnrried men.
Donnovnn did good work after he re?
lieved Pierce. ' Remember that the fel?
lows loft on n trnln nt 2 o'clock In the
morning nnd had to got up at 7.
Imagine yourself in their places nnd
then see how you would l'ke to play
n hall game that same afternoon.

One of the chief causes of high prices is high profits. Any plan
that reduces the size or the number of profits that stand between the
factory and you is a plan in your benefit.
Regal Shoes are
e
mission* an
Heretofore, all good shoes have been built to sell at fixed "even" prices?$3.50,
$4.00, $4.50, $5.00 and so on. If a shoe could be sold at, say $4.35, shoe traditions
would not permit it. It had to be "built up" by adding unnecessary expense to sell
at $4.50, or "cut down" (to its hurt) to sell at $4.00.
All this has been changed by the. Regal Shoe Company's new plan of selling shoes
just as many other necessities are sold?and just as all necessities should be?at a definite,'
small commission over cost of manufacture?in our case only 5 per cent.?plus the cost
of selling.
It makes no difference whether or not the price figures out in "even
money." The new plan gives you Regal Shoes nearer to actual cost, and
charged with smaller and fewer profits than any other make. The price
is stamped on the shoes at the factory. This stamp is your guaranty that
more of your money goes for quality and less for profit than in any other
shoe you can buy.
This is the stamp that
T.-ill hereafter be found od
Regal Shoes. It is your
guarantee that tbe price
appearing in Its centre Is
the lowest lor which a
shoe of such quality can,
be bought. -

oral Charles Lyon Chandler, at Buenos
Aires, who set forth the advantages of
American trade with South American
nations, especially the Argentine Re?
public, lie told them of Buenos ? Aires,
with its 1,300,551 Inhabitants?the
fourth largest American city: the
twelfth city in the world, and the
largest south of the equator; There
the census is taken every month, ac?
cording to Mr. Chandler, and more
buildings are eroded annually than In
the cities or'New York or Chicago. Ho
laid particular stress on the advan?
tages of Richmond in trading with
this section. He gave statistics to show
how the United States, and Virginia
in particular, could compete with the
Buropean nations that are flooding the
country with their goods.
Cbnnec for Ittchmonilere.
"Of special importance to Richmond
business men," said Mr. Chandler, "are
the openings for the sale of tobacco,
furniture, agricultural machinery and
implements, steel products and oil
stoves.
"As regards tobacco, the tobacco
used in the manufacture of cigars and
cigarettes in the Argentine Republic,
about $-.800,000 worth annually. is
all Imported, about $300,000 worth, or
a little more than a tenth, coming
from the United States. Tho tobacco
raised in Argentina docs not compete
In any way with that produced in tho
United States, nor is It likely to for
many years to come, [f is chiefly used
for Insecticides, and as shecp-dlps and
insecticides are annually Imported to
the value of $2.600,000. 25 per cent,
from tho'United States and G2 per cent,
from England, it will bo soen how in?
significant the local production of In?
secticides from native tobacco must
be." ?
Mr. Chandler made a most favorable
impression, and a number of the local
manufacturers doubtless will turn their
attention to the development of tho
.South American trade. Before return?
ing to the Argentine he will visit sev?
eral other large cities on the same
mission.
