MILITIAMEN WILL
GET DO?BIE PAY
State Will Supplement National
Pay for Encampment Duty
This Year.
REVENUE OFFICER REPORTS
First Commissioner Sends In
Books?Good Prices for
Potatoes.
Enlisted men of tho Virginia Volun?
teers will receive Just twice as much
pay this year while on duty In camp
as In previous years. This was made
possible by action of tho State Mili?
tary Board, several months ago, when
Jt was decided that tho pay allowed
by the War Department should be
supplemented by a similar nmoifnt
allowed by the board. This fact has
since gone by unnoticed.
Therefore, nt the conclusion of each
of the encampments to be held In Vir?
ginia this year?thoso of the Blue.".,
the First. Second and Third Infantry
nnd the First Battalion of Field Ar?
tillery? Paymaster-General Charles H.
Consolvo will hand each private ano
non-commlssloned officer a sum equiv?
alent to twice Ihe pay of his rank in
the. regular service.
The reason for this action was the
realization that the militiamen are
employed at their usual avocations,
and many of them lose their salaries
nt home while absent on camp duty.
The doubling of pay will more nearly
reimburse them for time lost In this
way.
The new rule, however, does not
apply to commissioned nfiiccrs, who
will receive only the United States
pay of their rank.
Unten of Pay.
Pay will, under this ruling, go to
enlisted men this year as follows:
Private In Infantry or artillery,

JACOB'S BOOKS FIRST
vAccomac Commissioner Again Leads
Mate In Year's Work.
First honors this year, as usual, go
to Jeff D. Jacob, Commissioner or trio
Tlevenue for District No. 2, of Acco
mac county. Mr. Jacob's assessment
books for both land and personal
property for tho year 1911 were re?
ceived yesterday morning at the Ofhco
of the Auditor of Public Accounts. He
Is the first commissioner In tho. State
to make report of this year's work,
and has gotten Into the habit of lead?
ing all the others.
Assessment Clerk W. R. Parr, of tho
Auditor's office, not only commends
Mr. Jacob's promplncs-. hut also the
neatness and correctnilv\ of h|s hooks,
two qualities In which ho sa^s the
Accomac assessor is unexcelled.
GOOD POTATO PRICES
(?Truckers' Crop Not barge, but Returns
Are Satisfactory.
Returning from a trip to the truck?
ing regions of the State. Commissioner
of Agriculture Kolner reports big
prices being received this year for po?
tatoes. From $.".50 to $? per barrel are
the prices realized. Of course, there
will be a reduction In the market later
on, but It Is anticipated that the price
will remain far nhend of last year.
The crop Is affected to some extent
by the drought, but the farmer Is bet?
ter off. If he loses 25 per cent. In this
way, he bids fair to receive 100 per
cent, more In price than In 1910, when
the marAet remained low throughout.
Then, too, the. grower is better off with
1,000 barrels at t2 than with 2.000 at
tl. since he Is savod the cost of hand?
ling and packing.

"The heaviest was when it upset my

MEDICAL LEAGUE
ATTACKED BY OWEN
Washington. D. C, June 23.?An at?
tack on the League for Medical Free?
dom as an organization that had been
"misled by the agents of the patent
medicine Interests," In opposing the
establishment of a government depart?
ment of health, was made In tho Senate
to-day by Senator Owen, author of a 1
bill now pending to establish such a
depart ment.
Senator Owen said his bill had been
drawn so as to give no school of med- !
leine an advantage over other schools. |
The rights of private citizens, he said,
were fully guarded by the measure, the
chief purpose of which was to estab?
lish general precautions against infec?
tion and disease and to educate the
public in sanitary safeguards and In
the dangers of contagion.

The valuable Balnbrldgo Street prop?
erly purchased a month or six weeks
ago In the name of .Inmes T. Estos. was
made over by him yesterday to the
I-n rus Bros. Tobacco Company for S10
and other valuable considerations.
The deed of bargain and sale tiled In I
the clerk's office of the Hustings Court.
Part 2, makes the big tobacco company
tile acknowledged owner of this fac?
tory site. Instead of owning It through
an agent.
The plot bought first by Mr. ICstea
and now by the l.arus Bros. Company,
occupies the whole block on Balnhridge
Street between Fifth and Sixth Streets
and extends back toward Hull Street
almost two-thirds of the block. It Is
one of the most advantageous factory
sites In the new ward, or is thought
to be such, and was obtained for what
Is considered a remarkably reasonable
figure.
The sum named In the dee.1 by
which Mr. Estes acquired the property
some time ago was about $18,000 net,
the gross figure being almost $20,000. I
The various lots that form the big nlot
are occupied by dwelling houses at
present .but these are to be demol-!
lshcd at some future date to make |
way for a tobacco factory.
According to a statement given out
seme time ago. the f/arus Company
will not build on this property until
the lease on Its present plant expires,
which Is not for a number of years.

Remarkable Christmas
Present
Among the curious Christmas pres?
ents of this year will be one for a man
of national reputation, which has been
all year in the making.
Way last January the present was
decided upon, and a friend of the prom?
inent gentleman requested the Burrelle
Press Clipping Bureau, of New York,
to watch every paper In America and
to take up every Item which appeared
concerning the man.
The clipping bureau people followed
Instructions, and now present the his?
tory of,one year In the life of this
especial man.
The history ends just after election,
and the 20,642 newspaper Items found
Include everything from a three-line
editorial mention to full-page Illus?
trated stories. Those have been mount?
ed on 3.200 great sheets of Irish linen
paper and bound Into three massive
volumes.
At the head of each Item is the name
and date of paper clipped from, this
Information having been put In with a
book typewriter. The words thus In?
serted amount to 153,2R2.
In actual time, a very strict record
of which has been kept, the work has
required sixty-four working days
throughout the year, and has kept In
employment during that time thirty
people, as readers, clippers, sorters,
mounters and binders. Every news?
paper of importance Is represented.
This Is merely a specimen of some of
the unique orders which geL into the
Burrelle Bureau, for the extent to
which clippings are used by individuals
and by business concerns seems to be
remarkable.
There are many people In private as
well as In public life who need press
clippings and don't know It. It might
be well for them to look up this man
Burrelle, who Is said to be so well
known that a letter simply addressed
"Burrelle, New York," will reach him
with no delay.

William Prether, colored, charged

yesterday morning by Justice Maurice
In the Police Court, Part 2, for being
drunk and disorderly. This was thi
technical charge against William, out
his real offenso was attempting to hold
a Hull Street car by bodily strength
Thursday night when the motorman
wanted to continue his run.
William signaled for the car to stop
at his corner and dismounted In a most
graceful manner. As the car started
again he changed Us mind about want?
ing to get off and grabbed the rod
on the side of the car. To hl3 cur
prise, he couldn!t hold the car, but
his will was strong and he hung on.
The car gathered speed oulckly, nnd
after a graceful aerial dip. William
collided with the cobbles of the street.

A record for South Richmond was
I broken and a precedent established
yesterday when Judge Wells dlscharg-l
ed the Jury of the Hustings Court last
I night at 10 o'clock without a verdict j
having heen reached, nfter tho court
I had been In continuous session from
'10 o'clock In the morning. The Jury!
j filed Into the Jury room at 7 o'clock
1 last night, nnd after considering the
testimony In the suit of the Ohio Ktenm
Laundry Machinery Company against
the Allen & Hutchinson Company for
three solid hours, reported that a ver?
dict was hopeless.
The lury stood five to two for the1
plaintiff when discharged by Judge
Wells, but the two outstanding nem
bers announced themselves too firmly
convinced for any change of opinion
to be possible. This Is the second time
that the trial of this suit has resulted
In a hopelessly hung Jury, the first
hearing being at the May term of
this court. Several efforts at a com?
promise have been made, hut the two
parties seem unable to get together,
and the case will be tried again.
The men who figured In the twelve
hour session were George Bryan and
D. L. Pulllam, attorneys for the plain?
tiff, and C. L. Page and James Shelton.

were W. B. Tanner, G. W. Roams, R.
M. Dlllard, George W .Holt, F. B.

failure of the Allen & Hutchinson
Company, proprietors of the Model
Steam Laundry, to accept a mangling
ma-chine after it had- been hilled to
them by tho Ohio Machinery Company.
The suit was for damages amounting
to $1,000.

WOOD RECEIVER
Philadelphia*. Pa., June 23.?Judge
Healland, In the United States Circuit
Court, to-day appointed Elmer E. Wood
ancillary receiver for the Blueftolds
Steamship Company. Mr. Wood, it Is
said, was the original receiver for thd
company, appointed about a year ago
in Louisiana.
According to the bill of complaint re?
cently filed by Frederick M. Steele, a
minority stockholder, the purpose of
the receivership Is to bring suit against
the United Fruit Company, under the
Sherman anti-trust act, for $3,500,000
damages. It Is alleged in tho bill that
the fruit company obtained control of
the steamship company, thereby stifling
competition in tho salo of bananas in
this country, causing a loss to the
stockholders.
In contesting the application for the
receiver, counsel for the company de?
clared that a new board of directors
is about to be elected, and the receiv?
ership In Louisiana will probably be
vacated.

SANITARY RULE
Public Health Protected by New
Regulations of State Food
Department.
some changes radical
Dealers in Meats Will Be Forced
to Observe Modern
Methods.
For tho protection of the public
health, a new set of rules and regu?
lations for tho sanitation of slaughter
houses, packing houses, markets or
stalls used In the sale or distribution
of meat or meat products has been Is?
sued by the State Dairy and Food De?
partment. The rules go Into detail re?
garding the caro and protection of
foodstuffs of thl3 character, and, hav?
ing- bt?en approved by the Commls- .
sloner and State Board of Agriculture
and Immigration, have the full force
and effect of law.
The Dairy and Food Department has
recently paid especial' attention to tho
construction and equipment of abat?
toirs, with a view to lessoning tho
danger to public health resulting from
Improper buildings and Incorrect main?
tenance. Visits have been made to
some of the cities of Virginia by ofil
cials of the. department, and in prac?
tically every Instance the local au?
thorities have shown hearty co-opora-'
tlnn.
Find Co-OperatioD.
It is realized that most of tho un?
desirable conditions reBult more from
Ignorance nnd lack of knowledge of
mpdern methods among dealers and.
packer.'! of meats than from intention,
to deceive the public. In fact, the
butchers only need to be shown to-,
comply with the demands of the de?
partment.
ihero are some people, however, who'
will not do what they are asked to do,:
and they will be forced to comply.
Commissioner W. D.' Saunders bellevea.
the new rules will help. Together with,;
.the rules, he Issues extracts from a.
circular published by the United States
Department of Agriculture, giving ad?
vice as to the construction and equip-;
ment of abattoirs.
