DOLING CASE
HESTCOURT!
Appeal Will Settle Important
Point?Other Petitions
i Disposed Of.
One. feature of tlio much-vexed
problem of what constitutes, a pcddlet
reached the Supremo Court of Appeals
yesterday, when a writ of error was
allowed In the case of J. G. Davis
against the Commonwealth. Interest?
ing points of law aro involved, and In
fuct. It Is probable that tho final de?
cision In this caso will settle the sta- |
tus of the man who takes orders for
Hoods In a house-to-house, canvass.
Besides his argument that ho was
not peddling, Davis makes the point
tliat a license tax Imposed on person."
or his business by the State is uncon?
stitutional, in that if interferes wilt j
Interstate commerce.
DavJo was an agent for a house en?
gaged In the business of enlarging pic?
tures, and st Hing frames therefor. He
took ordors for the pictures, tho pur?
chaser signing an agreement to pur?
chase tho frame on delivery. lie wat ]
arrested and taken before- the Police]
Court of Nowport News, where he was
oporating, and lined $100. On appeal j
this was uffirmcd by tho Corporation
Court, from which tho appeal Is taken.
Tho man asserts that he was' not a
j>eddlor within the meaning of the Code,
tin lie did not carry his wares with him,
but took orders for their future de?
livery.
One Allowed, One Itefuscd.
A writ of error was ulso allowed to |
TV. R. Corpenter, who represents hlm
eolf as aggrieved by a Judgment en
.tored against htm by the Circuit!
*Court of Brunswick county, in favor
of J. E. Gray, for $2.800. The grounds |
of appeal are entirely technical, It be?
ing claimed that tho affidavit filed with
tho suit was defective, and that mfcj
takes in tho pleadings constitute
waiver and estoppel on the part of
the plaintiff In tho lower court.
An appeal was refused In the cas* I
Of Richard W. Waldrop against th?
Norfolk and Portsmouth Traction Com?
pany. Waldrop was injured by a trol
Icy car at Wllloughby Spit, while en
route from Old Point to Norfolk. The
car, ho thought, was about to come to
a standstill so that he and other pas?
sengers could mount It, but Instead
Its speed was Increased, and In round
Ing k curve the overhang caught him.
1 ic Jury rendered a verdict for $500 j
damages, subjoct to the action of tho |
court on a demurrer, which was sus- ,
talncd. The demurrer hold thai Giere I
was no negligence on tho part of the
defendant company, but that there was|
contributory negligence on the part oi'
Waldrop. The petition fortan appeal J
held that these are uuestlons which)
should have been left to the Jury, but j
the higher court thought otherwise.

TRANSFER FIGHT
10 CITY CQUKCIL
One Committee Rejects West
hampton Schedule When An?
other Indorsed It.
After prolonged argument the Coun?
cil Committee on Ordinance, Charter
and Reform recommended last night
the rejeotion of the ordinance In re?
gard, to tho Westhompton Street
car rshedulo, allowing cars to run
down to Ninth and Alain Streets, and
lo charge a straight 6-cent fare, with?
out tickets, and with only a lim?
ited transfer eastward bound. The
Street Committee has recommend?
ed the adoption of thd ordi?
nance, and a lively debate Is Expected
on the floor of the Counch/ Monday
night. President Kirk, of the Coun?
try Club of Virginia, and Captain A.
Ii. Culgon, of tho Virginia Railway
and Power Company, appeared for tho
ordinance, S'..S. P. Putteson and C. W.
Throckmorlon representlnB the oppo?
nents.
The argument was much tho snme
as that at two former hearings before
the Street Committee, though much
emphasis was placed last night by the
opponents on the fear that the privi?
lege might be an "entering wedge,"
which might lead to withdrawal of
transfer privileges fro other suburbs.
Assistant City Attorney Anderson, who
was called upon to pass on this phase
of tho question, said tho city had a
definite franchise contract with the
lines operated by the Traction Com?
pany and tho Richmond Passenger and
l'ower Company, which could not be
changed without the consent of the
Council In a duly adopted fran?
chise ordinance, amending the former
agreement. The Wcsthampton line,
however, has always been operated
tinder a franchise from the county
of Ilcnrlco, and has no such guar?
antees.
(lot Accurate Record.
Delegations from Seven Pines and
Highland Park were Introduced In op?
position to the measure on the "en?
teritis wedge." theory.
Reports were submitted to show that
the great bulk of trnvel was not of
citizens living In the section between !
Robinson Street and tho city limits, a ;
distance of six blocks, from which j
comes the prolest, *,ut of those going
to stations beyond. In ten days In
April when accurate count was made, I
the total number of passengers car
rled both ways was 10,637, of whom i
In, 410 were carried to or from the,
city boundary.
During that ten days seventy-four
school tickets were collected within
tho city limits eastbound, and twenty- ,
three westbound.
Tho vote stood on Mr. Hlrschberg's
motion to recommend for rejection:
ftyes: Messrs. Butler, Brown. Hirsch
berg, Kaln and Umlauf.
Noes: Messrs. Glinst, Pollock and
Vonherlohr.
The committee reconsidered Its form?
er action in recommending a scale of
salaries for tho City Collector and his
deputies, on protest of acting Collector
Htilce thai lie had not been allowed
sufficient clerk hire, and the matter was
referred to a subcommittee.
The. committee recommended adop?
tion of an ordinance placing n tax of
?100 a day on itinerant merchants
selling goods at hotels and similar
places. to the detriment of licensed
merchants.

Weekly Trnde Review.
New York, June 2.?R. G. Dun ?
Company's weekly review of trad0 to?
morrow will say:
Continued conservatism. combined
with growing confidence, appears hi
trade reports. The fact that one after

pissing. .Mid that crop prosody :,rn
Increasingly favorable, croa:e the dis?
tinctly r ett er business sentl ner.t pre?
vailing, although curtailment, vanil
It'Stment of prices and moderate pur
c'rases in satlsfact'on of immediate
wants still characterize the actual
trade movement. The most active
traje movement Is at present In ex?
portation to foreign lands, and this
constitutes a strong situation. The
fact that In Canada business Is moving: 1
briskly Is nlso a good augury.
Significant developments in Iron and
steel are still confined to the matter
of prices, and recent events In this
respect have tended to nceentuate the
feeling of uncertainty.
' C'otton goods are holding the slightly
higher values recently established, and
more business Is passing. Curtail?
ment, has become drastic, probably
more than representing the decreased
volume of distribution and consump?
tion, and Is due mainly to the Ttls
parlty between the cost of production
and selling'prices. Dress goods trade
Is very quiet. Despite some adverse
factors, merchants in the dry goods
Iiade manifest a larger measure of
confidence in the future than they did
a month ago. There Is a good business
In wool at Rastern centres, though
trading Is checked by the higher prices
demanded.
Improvement continues in footwear,
, but wholesalers display conservatism,
owing to the many styles offered. The
I leather market gradually improves, al?
though the buying i.s still largely for
I current needs.

tion of Incandescent lamps to supplant
old gas lamps In a large part of Clay
Ward, ten arc lamps on the Kree
Bridge, and miscellaneous lights In
every ward represented at the meet?
ing
The contracts were divided into
small blocks, so that Council approval
will not be required, and the work
will begin at once. The commltte*
asked the Council for a supplemental
appropriation of $3,600 to wire the City
Hall for lighting from the municipal
plant.
After debate It was decided that thn
wiring should bo under direction of tho
Grounds and Buildings Committee,
which has custody of the City Hall,
und that hereafter as, city buildings
are wired for lighting tho electric de?
partment would only furnish current
to the property line, as in the case of
a private consumer, charging the
buildings department, -School Board,
Police Board or other department with
the current used.

marking that they had understood
that the current was to be generated
by water power, and it. was ordered
that hereafter coal be bought by con?
tract, the superintendent being au?
thorized to advertise for 1,000 tons
delivered, and to negotiate with the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway for con?
struction of a siding- at the power
house.

Another Big Drama in His System
-(
So Roebuck, the College Lad,
Must Get It Out and Swap
Profits for Brains.
With his freckles Just a little bit
more freckly, and his hutr roached
down to tho Harvard lay-back style
George Roebuck, the playwright, re?
turned yesterday from Randolph-Ma
con Academy, at Bedford City, In a pair
of trousers big onotigh for President
Taft. There was some class to the
college lad. Having turned out and
producer) "Beatrice of the Cumber
lands," this seventeen-year-old Vir?
ginia boy believes he can come hack,
and having got this Idea In his head,
he will proceed to get another com?
edy-drama out of his system.
"I need more education." said Roe?
buck, 'so 1 am going to write another
play and put it on nt the Academy
of Music this full so I can get enough
money to put me through college next
fall. I jlon't want the public to labor
under false pretenses, so lot me say
Chat It will not be staged for charity
unless yours truly Is it. I cannot com?
plete my education unless my play Is
a success, and I want to toll you that

remarked Roebuck as he shuffled out.
