THEATRE PEOPLE
GOING TO COURT
Lyric Promoters Will Test Ordi-1
nance Passed to Deny
License.
Application will shortly he made to
Hurt by Smith. Monrurc it Gordon,
counsel for Henry Wnllerstcln and
other promoters of the Lyric Theatre,
at Eighth and Grace Streets, to test
the constitutionality of the recent ac?
tion of the Council in adopting an or?
dinance forbidding the licensing of any
theater within a specified distance of
a church. H. M. Smith, Jr., of counsel
for Mr. WallcrstCln, said yesterday that
the papers were being prepared for
test proceedings, but that it had not
been determined in what court nor in
what manner the proceedings would be
taken Assistant City Attorney George
"Wayne Anderson said that he had not
been informed of any steps to test tho
validity of the act.
Mr. Wallerstcln, owner of the lot at
the southeast corner of Eighth and
Grace Streets, has secured a permit to
erect a theatre of the tlrst cluss. ac?
cording; to plans liled In the- office ofj
the Building Inspector, and has entered.
Into a ".ease for a term of years with
Jake Wells and others At the Instance
of St. Paul's Episcopal and St. Peter's
Catholic Churches, located on the same
blocl:, the Council passed an orrilnnnce
designed to prohibit the issuance of a
license to the proposed theatre, oven
if erected.
L'lnlin I.nw In Valid,
The ordinance Is a form" of the po?
lice power which is new to Virginia!
practice, though it Is taid similar laws
have been upheld In other States, und
a test in the courts will be awaited j
with interest. Its validity Is upheld!
in an opinion by Assistant City Atter-1
ney Anderson, and Attorneys Eppa
Huiiton. Jr., and B. Rralid. Wellford,
who represented the churches, have
expressed the opinion that It will stand.
Opinion Is divided, however, he to its
Constitutionality, and Mr. Smith said
yesterdayfilnat h.'" clients would take
prompt -.steps "to secure a final decision
or. the matter from the highest courts.
There seems to be some doubt as to
the method of procedure In making out
a test case, which all parties agree
Bbould be made bf foon ns possible.
The ordinance prohibits the issuance
of a license to a theatre located within
a specified distance from a church. The
promoters would hardly go ahead with
the erection of a building the use of
which the courts may prevent them
from exercising. Yet !t has been held
that application for a mandamus to
compel the issuance of a license would
hardly be In order where no theatre'
has been erected and prepnred for oc-'
cupancy in the event that the license
were granted.
Meanwhile work is progressing In
clearing the site of old buildings, but
the promoters will not hurry forward
tho erection of th?- theatre until the
courts have determined their right to
operate It when completed.

Railway Company and the Virginia
Railway and Power Company over the j
Joint use of certain tracks was com- i

prenily pleased with the Interest nnd '
attention shown by the arbitrators

tions nt Issue nre the amounts per car
to be pnid by the Richmond and Hen
rico Company for use- of the old com?
pany's trncks on Rrond Street from
Fifth to Eleventh; on Marshall from

the Fulton loop, and also the amount
to be paid for use of current where
such tracks aro used Jointly.
There nre also points as to the right
of way of the cars of various lines,
nnd other technical problems of opera?
tion. The belief wn.s expressed that
the report of the arbitrators would
be unanimous, as while one was se?
lected by each company, nnd the third
by these two, none showed any dis?
position to be partisan, but to arrive
nt a fair nnd equn.ble settlement of
the situation presented by the traction
problem In Richmond. The arbitrators

KILLED HIMSELF
OH FRONT SIEPS
Oscar Robb Takes Poison After
W ishing His Family "Good
Luck" in Note.
WAS HURT BY PROSPERITY
Dr. Tune Worked Hard to Save
Patient, but Aid Was
Unavailing.
Pleading that hp could not stand
prosperity, Oscar Robb, -twenty-two
years old. committed suicide at 10:30
o'clock last night on the front steps
of ht.s boarding house, at fill North
Seventh Street, by swallowing n vial
of enrhollc acid. When members of
his family heard his groans and found
him, with his head on the. Moor of the
porch and his feet hanging down the
.-tops, he was then in an almost dying
condition.
They summoned the city ambulance,
and Dr. Tune raced to the house. Robb
was nearly unconscious, and was still
on the porch. He was carried Inside
to the hall, where they laid him down
on a sofa. The physician used every
means known to resuscitate the young
man. but he had swallowed too much
of the poison, and it was too late. He
died within a few minutes.
Robb boarded at the house with his
father and brother, who are the only
ones to survive him. His father could
not explain any reason which could
cause young Robb to end his 'Ife, ex?
cept that he may have fallen heavily
Into debt.
Ilnucht I'oInoii tlllllNClf.
Robb was single, and was employed
as clerk In a Broad Street clothing
store. Ills suicide was evidently pro
medltnted. He went out for a short
time, and It Is supposed that he then
bought the fatal dr'ig. When he re?
turned, he nsked for paper and pencil,
Faying that he wanted to write n note.
But none could be found Just then,
and he went up to his room. There he
found pen and ink. nnd the following
note was found later on his father's
dresser:
??Beilr Fntlicr nnd All,?Thin In the
paper whleli wrapped the bottle with
Which I end my life. Ciood luck to
nil, nnd tell (hem good-bye for me.
(Signed), ??OSCAR."
On the outside of the wrapping pa?
per on which the note was written
were found the explaining words, "I
cannot stand prosperity." Beyond this
none of the family could give a reason
why he should have wished to die. He
was a young man of presumably good
habits, and had steady employment.
Coroner Taylor viewed tho remains,
hut decided thnt an inquest was un?
necessary.

Red and Blue Army Each Con?
fident Victory Perched on
Its Banner.
ENCAMPMENT SUCCESSFUL
First Regiment Spends Fourth in
Hard Work Near Forest
Hill.
Was Richmond In the grasp of an
advancing army of soldiers with blood
red banners In their hats at the close I
of the sham battle near Forest Hill
Park yesterday morning? Or were the j
invaders solely held in chock by the
forces of Blue? Nobody knows except
Major C. Cray Bossleux, the umpire,
and he won't tell.
Major L? T. Price, the gallant defend?
er uf the city, and Captain Charles M.
Wallace, who headed trie attacking
forces, each- thinks Individually Wat
the enemy was utterly routed, mid that
he would have boon hailed as victor
were the conflict in earnest. Unwilling
to draw invidious distinctions, and
perhaps having In mind the fate of
baseball umpires, who l.avo to render!
decisions, Major Bossleux took refuge
behind his privilege nnd declined to
judge.
Everybody Killed.
Suffice It to say that each and every
man in both armies was constructively
killed several times over, while the
only thing that prevented most of the
men from being taken prisoners was
that each comn.and. being already the
prisoner of the other, had not enough
men left to take OharjfO of the cap?
tives.
It seemed to the tired First Regi?
ment men that they had hardly crawled
within their shelter tents nt Camp
William Wilson Sale when reveille was
sounded yesterday morning. The night
had been spent peacefully, and only
one or two minor onargos wore brought
up. which were atoned for by chop?
ping wood, while the bugler Kept time
with the historic call, "Tear the wood?
pile down."
There were no kicks on the quality
or quantity of the breakfust served ny
Battalion Quartermaster Levering. The
men were hungry nnd Bte eagerly.
Bloody Battle Wnged.
At S o'clock the Reds and Blues sep?
arated. Companies C nnn F. constitut?
ing the attacking force, under Captain
Wallace, with Captain A. B. Cousins
second In command, deployed out the
River Road, constructively on their
way to Richmond from Bon Air. The
Blues, under Major Price, assisted by
Lieutenants KrauSSO nnd Matthews,
came from the opposite direction, east
of the camp, having been supposed to
have spent the night on Belle Isle.
The attacking force was made up of
Companies A nnd B.
The advance was made by agreement
at a certain hour, and Reds came down
the road at a double quick, reaching
the military crest. for which both
forces contended, ahead of the Blues.
The latter did somo tremendous fight?
ing when tl ? scene was reached, and
the rdvancc parties, reserves and var -
ous other adjuncts of real war wore
on the Job. Blank cartridges Innum?
erable were discharged, until the um?
pire called the deal off.
The battalion drill In the afternoon
was dispensed with because of the
heat. At 3 o'clock the return to the
city was begun, nil tents having been
previously taken down.
A good many members of the First
Regiment Association, some of them
war veterans, visited the camp during
the day and broke bread as the guests
of the battalion. Many visitors to the
park were nttracted by the. camp,
which was conducted no/tordlng to the
strictest military rules.
PRISONERS ISOLATED
Xo Evidence Yet That Otis Jubunon
ITna Smallpox.
There were no developments in the
smallpox situation at the Henric i
county jail yesterday. Otis Johitson,
a negro prisoner, is Isolated as a sus?
pect, hut the physicians In attendance
have about concluded that his case is
not genuine smallpox, but of some
lesser, non-contagious eruption. John?
son will be kept to himself for n few
days longer, however, as a matter of
piecautlon. Tho city health authori?
ties are eo-operatlng with Jailer Oar
nett.
The last patient ?t the City Smallpox
Hospital In Henrlco county will prob?
ably bo discharged to-day. and if the
suspect nt the Henrlco jail turns cut to
he a fals? alarm, tho city will have
a clean slate as far as smallpox is con?
cerned. Practically all the cases four..!
here this year have been imported from
North Carolina.

LEG 10 STUND ON"
But Chaloner Keeps to Promise
Made in 'Joy of Getting
Rid of Her."
PAYS ALLOWANCE AS HE SAID
Denies Report Published in New
York as Wholly
Unfounded.
Recent action taken by Princess
Pierre Troubctzkoy in regard to p?s- !
siblo dower from the estate of her
former husband, .lohn Armstrong |
Chaloner, of Virginia, lias relieved his J
conscience from any burden It might
have in revoking h's Implied wish to
Increase her allowance, made at about
the tiino of the granting of the di?
vorce. A statement to this effect was
made by Mr. Chaloner at the West
moreland Cluo last night.
This wish to add to the allowance of
J.l.tjflO a year, provided his business af?
fairs prospered, wus made, says Mr. '.
Chaloner, "In the first great rush of Joy !
and gratitude at getting rid of Prin?
cess Troubctzkoy?in the nrsi great ex?
pansive movement ot my heart?so 1
great, so expansive, so profound that I
actually my hand followed my ;
heart nnd dove Into the depths of
my pocket and brought acro.-s a $3,- |
tiOO proposition, out of whole cloth, j
free from alimony, free from dower, !
free as air; to pay at least said amount i
to Princess Troubctzkoy for life, and ;
even to Increase said expansive,
Jocund, Joyous thank-offering to a
munificent Providence, striking from :
my heels the fetters of a marriage j
bond with Princess Troubctzkoy.
Incorrect tteport.
This statement from Mr. Chaloner Is
prompted by a story in a New York
paper to the effect that the princess ,
had been forced to forego her desired I
trip to ltnly tnts summer with her
husband, because Mr. ("h..loner refused j
to come forwaro with the usual $3.600
allowance which he was willing to pay
her for 11 f?
His reason fur thlp. it whs stated in
the paper, wan that at the eleventh
hour, as the court was waiting to
grant her prayer for this sum. she put
up a claim against Mr. Chaloner's es?
tate for dower right.
Mr. Chaloner denies tnere Is any
truth in the story. He is Informed j
that the princess hd drawn her lnst
quarter's allowance of J90n, from what
her former husnand cnlls his "charity
fund." nnd sailed Tor Europe a couple
of weeks ago.
When the court granted Princess
Troubetzkoy's application for the al?
lowance, being Informed mat Mr.
Chaloner had made no protest, she pre?
sented a statrinent thnt while sne was
Mr. Chaloner's wife, he had horrowed
?20.nnn of her literary earnings, and
had never repaid n?>r. She then niftdo
a claim for right of dower In his prop?
erty. At thnt time Mr. Chaloner stat?
ed that In future he would oppose fur?
ther payment of the JX.fiOO allowance
unless she abandoned her clnlms on
dower rights. Since that time, said
Mr. Chaloner last nlgnt, he has ex?
amined the law of all the. States In
which he has property holdings,
and Is satisfied that in none of them
can she substantiate her contention,
declaring that "she hasn't a leg to
stand on." Therefore, he says, "Pr'n
cess Troubctzkoy is at liberty to re?
peat snld false statement as often as
she chooses nnd still draw her JM.600
allowance aiinuully fro,.i my charity
fund." However, he adds, in making
her "piratical stroke" at his property,
she hns done him the good turn of
relieving his conscience from !t*s
former wish to Increase this sum
"granted success In the fjtu.'e of his
business nffalrs."

EXPEriTSWORK ON
I CITY HALL CLOCK
Bigger Hands and Better Lights
in Tower Will Help Way?
faring Man.
Representatives of the E. Howard
j Clock Comprny, of Roston and New
I York, began yesterday to overhaul tho
: clock system In the City Hall under the
supervision of Building Inspector Beck
? for the first time stneti the big building
was opened In Fehrunry, 1S94. The
j tower clock and thirty-seven subsl
, diary clocks, which run from the mas
: ter clock by electric wires, were In
I stalled by the Howard Company when
the building was erected, and onl '
I minor repairs have since been made.
; Work began yesterday In thoroughly
overhauling the mechanism of each of
the subsidiary clocks. Next week tho
big tower clock will be stopped tor
two or three days while Its machinery
Is gone over and new bras s parts In
' stalled for some that show wear. New
heavy-faced hands, three fort In length,
are to be placed 'n the ma'ln clock,
j the dlnl of which Is six feet six inches
In diameter. The present light hands
can only be seen by clear eyes from
Seventh and Broad Streets, hut It Is
believed that when the new hands are
In place and powerful Tungsten lamps
are placed behind the crystal tho time
may he readily told far uptown.
The electric, lighting mechanism 's
also to be changed and placed In an
automatic clock-work basis, so that the
lights will come on nn 1 extinguish
themselves at tixed hours. Thero has
been complnlnl In the past that those
charged With lighting tile clock faces
have sometimes delayed until after
dark to the. inconvenience of tho jub
I lie, which depends on tho City Hali for
ij exact time.
ELLYSON PILOTS
He Will Be First Instructor.
Triad, Handled at Will,
Makes Great Speed.
In a Hying machine caiien a triad,
which traverses ulr and water with
equal facility, Lieutenant Theodore O.
Ellyson. Jr., a Richmond man, who
heads the aviators of the United States
.Navy, on Monday made a remarkable
night. Currying a passenger. Lieuten?
ant Ellyson guided the triad for four?
teen miles In twenty miuuten. running
for the moat part through the water.
The passenger was Captain W. 1.
Chambers, ulso of the navy, who had
been at the Glenn Curtlss aerodromo
at Hammondsport, N. Y., for a day or
two. Captain Chambers wished to
catch a night train from Peng Van
for Washington, and Lieutenant El?
lyson rushed him to the station.
It is now announced that about July
11 the navy will open a regular nam?
ing school for government aviators
at Annapolis, and that Lieutenant El
lyso nwill be the first instructor.
Probably there will be a dozen pupils
to begin with.
Native of Itlcbiuond.
Lieutenant EUyson is a son of IL
Theodore Elyson. of Richmond. Ho
has been noted since his entrance into
the navy for his attachment to de?
partures from the Ordinary. He de?
voted himself for a time to the sludy
of submarines, until attracted by the
held offered In the air. for aevei.il
months he has been acquainting him?
self with the profession of air navi?
gation.
During the past few weeks Lieuten?
ant Ellyson has been receiving in?
struction from Glenn Curtlss. one of
the pioneer airmen. He is now a full
Hedged air pilot, having been duly
licensed.
The triad in which the llight from
Hammondsport was made, is the latest
thing In aviation. It Is a two-pass?
enger machine, but Instead of one oc?
cupant, sitting beside the other, they
are arranged side by side, and tho
plane can be controlled by either oc?
cupant, the operating device being
shitted at will. The tllghl referred to
was the first made by naval otticeis
on the water and In the air.
Kept Clone to Wuter.
For about three miles of the twenty
two traversed the triad was In the alt
a few feet above the water, for nfte,-r
miles It skimmed the surface, and on
the last four miles the triad's pon?
toon nre through the water, plowing
deeply.
The triad Is the first to be built for
the government. It and another
were contracted for from Glenn H.
Curtlss, to be delivered on July I.
While they have not as yet for?
mally been accepted by the govern?
ment, they nre pronounced as per- .
fcctly satlslactory.
A fifty-horsepowt r engine was used
on Monday, but as it is not power?
ful enough to raise the tlrad far
enough from the water with two pass?
engers, Mr. Curltss has made , it a
scver.ty-horsepower machine. It has
both wheels and pontoon, so that it
may alight either or. l^nd or water.
.Mode Trrrlfle Speed.
After landing Captain Chambers at
Penn Yan, Lieutenant Ellyson rar, the
machine at a terrific rate across the
lake on the water. His speed wan
estimated at forty-five miles an hour,
and it seemed as though he would
strike the opposite shore Suddenly
' he rose and circled about.
People In hunureds of small boats
were waiting for a sight of the strange
air and water craft, and large crowds
lined the shores. .-i the triad ap?
peared In view from around a point, it
.ooked exactly the ins . called a
darning needle. It sped past the fast?
est motor boats like a Hash, sending
out big rollers from its pontoon. Cap?
tain Chr.mbers stepped on dry land
without wetting the soles of his shoes.
