Senator West's Bill to Force This
Argued Before Senate
Committee.
SOUTHERN RESISTS BITTERLY
Desires Matter Loft to Corpo?
ration Commission?O t Ii e r
Roads I lave Adopted Plan.
8. II. I lard wick, passenger Ira file
manager oi th? Southern Hallway, ana
attorneys representing the ChcsapouKc
and Ohio. .Noriollt pud VVealern anU
Richmond, Frcdcrlcksburg and Potomac
Hallways. Jol.'.ed yesterday before thi
Senate Committee on Itoadx ami Inter
ii'il Navigation in opposing (Senator|
West's mileug. bill. According to the
provisions of the proposed law, evjryj
railroad In Virginia which docs no,]
permit the conuuetors on us train to
honor, tor transportation oi pasuea
gors, He own ml lea go tickets and in?
terchangeable mileage tickets Issued
by It or by ottu-r roada will bo required
to employ at each pnssengcr Statten I
which Is located In a city or Incorpo-i
lated town twr. ticket agent.*, one of
whom is to take care exclusively ot
the business of Issuing exchange]
inllcaga tickets In exchange for cou?
pons detached from the Inicrchange
.ibie books mentioned.
Xhe law would requln these two
?(rents to be at their posts at least
thirty mlnuiis preceding the schedule
time of departure of nil passenger
trains from the depot. In opening the
argument for thu bill. Senator West
> iated frankly that he had no intention
of placing an ur.duc burden on thj
transportation companies by rcqu'r
tng tho employment of unnecessary
men. but that his measure was directed
primarily against the practice of the
roads In refualng to pull mtl:ago on
wains. The pacsago of the bill, he
thought, would compel the roads to
ncccdo to tho popular demand for rnlle
ago exchange on trains, rather than
i.icur the addod ;xpcnisc of the extra
man. i
Menmire I? Punltlvr.
'?The mujaurc which tho f-'enator
proposes," said Mr. Hardwlck, opening
Hie opposition argument, "is not reg
Ulatory, but punitive. Instead of bo-1
In thi direction of helping to eolve
the transportation problem, It proposes
to punlhh the roads for a grievance
which, as far a? I know, has never
been reported to us." Speaking for the
Southern Railway, he sulrl that his ro.ii
had no In'.intlon of Imposing the slight;
?St hardship and that It was ready to
remedy any abnormal condition within
leason. I
lie reminded the committee that the
man who purchases a mileage book
dobs s.o upon his own Initiative ana
without solicitation from the compar.y,
and ihercfors subscribes by 'hat act
I'd all the conditions and restrictions
which accompany the sale. Tho pres?
et sytttem. he said, was adopted by
the company after mature considers
llori and was the b.-at they were able
lo devise. To lift mileage on the
I rains would vastly complicate the
t ystern of accounting and would re.-ult
iu a derangement of the service.
Scoator Mosaic Skeptical.
Senator Masslc asked why the i^uth
<:n Hallway could not honor mileage
books on trains If the Chesapeake and
Ohio und Norfolk and Western Rail?
ways both accepted certain kinds of
mileage on their trains and seemed to
be thriving. He was referred by Mr.
Hardwlck to the representatives oi
these roads, who stated In substance
that tholr roads, under tho ngriomon-t
with tho* Othur roads Issuing the Inter?
changeable mileage books, ilo not ac?
cept thlK class of mileage on trains,
but that they honor only the'r own
special mlleaga books, good for trans?
portation only within the State.
This fact, they argued, left the res?
idents of Virginia with no grievance
against tho Norfolk and Western and
Chesapeake and Ohio, and thi law, It
it is passed, should contain a provision
excluding from Its operation those
roads which accept OU Ihclr trains their
own mileage between points in Vir?
ginia.
To tho question If his road would bo
willing to grant a similar privilege
within the borders of Virginia, Mr.
Hardwlck replied that in Joining the
group of roads Issuln;; the Inter-1
changeable mileage book, the Southern
Hallway entered into an agreement noil
to issue special mileage good on the
trains of Its lines because such a pro
CCduro would operate to swing to it
a large per cont. of the Southbound
passengers, which under the present
arrangement I? divided among thu j
oilier roads. When pressed to snyi
that the other roads Imposed this con?
dition upon tlio Southern, Mr. Hard?
wlck evaded the Issio-.
Appeal to Corporation t.'omnilnKlon.
All of the railroad attorneys made
the point that relief should be soughti
in the state Corporation Commission.1
ihcy stood ready to Install any addl-i
llonal facilities, they said. It the Cor?
poration Commission should decide'
that the public 1? suffering at anyj
point in the State for lack <? f agentk or
..ny other cause.
Senator West, concluding thc argu?
ment for his measure, sold that It had
not been shown \iy the representatives
of tho roads that any material loss In
dollars and cents would accrue to thoin
if th ?>? adopted the plan of lifting mile?
age on the trains, in ihe absence of
such proof, Ii" thought, the bill should
be made law.
The committee took the bill up in
executive session, but did not reacli
a decision. The mutter will come up
again Friday, at which time a report
on the bill is promised.

GARNISHEE BILL
LACKED VOTES
Point Raised That Measure
Should Have Had Sixteen
Voting" in Affirmative.
Delegate Monouxe's gamlsb.ee bill,
after being overwhelmingly passed by
the House, and subsequently carried
irv the Senate by the vote of 13 to 8,
seems, atter all, destined not to be?
come law at the present session. A
uiltgent examination of the rule? anu
Constitution, oonuuclcd by Senator
rolii.;H. wno lead tne light against tue
passage oi tne bill, bears out the pro
vallUyS opinion tnat the Senate pro?
cedure killed It, end that it can only
become law now by being Introduce'i
In Hie House as a new bill and pro
ceoding ttiiougti the regular channels.
The measure whs bitterly attacked
In the eiei-'.atc Saturday when 11 came
up for its third reading. After a
Stormy debate of more than an hour,
it was put to u vote and carried, 13 to
S, many of the Senatori leaving the
room to escape going on record for or
against It. Senator Moncure Immedi?
ately moved Its reconsideration, to
place the vote, as he thought, beyond
r< ' all, but Senator Wenaei.burg met
the move by ottering a motion to pass
by the motion to reconsider. Dolore
the chair was able to put the ques
tion, Senator Walker moved to ad?
journ, nnd was sustained by the fio>
ate.
Required Tn o-l Iffha Vote.
Rules of both the manual of the
General Assembly and the State Con?
stitution lay down the provision that
no bill shall become law on Its final
read bag unless "a majority of those
voting, which shall Include at least
two-nflhl of the members elected to
each house, has been recorded in the
affirmative."
This rule makes it necessary that
at least sixteen votes In the Senate bo
recorded for a measure before It pass.
Since only thirteen Senators voted for
the bill In question, it is argued by
the opponents of the measure that
Saturday's vote did not count.
Another rule Is quoted by the same
side, which, it is said, will effectively
prevent a reconsideration of the vote
by which the bill was "queered." It
provides that all motions to reconsider
I he made "on the same day the voto
I was talton. or yltliin the two days of
inctu.il session of the Senate there?
after." Tho two-day limit expirod
yesterday. Opinion Is divided as to
the status of the motion to recon
*lder. which was made by Senator
I Moncure Saturday, but which was
I never put.
1 The bill In question proposes to de
icrense the garnlshee exemption, from
? $00, as It is now, to $25. Roth Seha
! tor Felkes nnd Senator Wendcr.burp
I opposed the measure on the floor of
the Senate as one calculated to brlny
much s tiffering upon . the laboring
classes, and as a piece of legislation
designed to hurt tho Democratic party.
VICTORY WON BY
! -
', Teachers flocked to the Capitol yes
terday afternoon to oppose the Rakes
bill designed to abolish the retired
teachers' pension fund. While tho bill
was passed by temporarily, It iu gen?
erally understood that the House
Committee on Schools and Colleges was
opposed to It, and that it is dead.
Senator C. T. Bowers made the prin?
cipal speech for the Rakes bill. He
has a mmllnr measure in the Senate.
Ho argued that there aro many de?
fects in the law as it stands. One
of these is that It requires no property
qualification; that while the law places
a $150 properly limit on Confederate
women who are pensioned, It docs not
?.as to teacn'ers, and he had heard of
' woinon teachers who draw pensions
and who ride in automobiles and take
. occasional trips to Kuropo.
Again, If teachers pay for some
years and drop out. they get no re
I turn. A man teaching for eighteen
! years, then dying, leaves nothing for
i what he has paid In. Then, too, the
I compulsory fenturo of payment was
: disliked by Senator Bowers. Lastly,
he believed the system would fail be
I cause It would tost more money In
j rears to come or else result in lower
j Ing tho amounts paid.
He was answered most vigorously
' Oy tho women present. One speaker
\ said that any woman who would not
i contribute 1 per cent, of her salary to
help hor colleagues who have outlived
their years of usefulness, was a
menace to tho children under her caro.
Tho financial loss of $3.000, which tho
teachers ask tho Legislature to appro?
priate, was caused, she said, by tho
General Assembly Itself in Its re?
quirements. She pointed cut many
States which have tho compulsory
feature.
Members of 'the committee asked
questions to Indicate 'tho Injustice of
abandoning the proposition now, after
teachera have paid In money for four
years.
Albert H. Bill, assistant Superinten?
dent of tho Richmond schools, asked
for the defeat of tho bill on tho ground
that the pension system enables tho
employment of young toachors to take
tho places of those too- far advanced

NAVY WIRELESS PLAN
FOR LOCATING SHIPS
System Practically Covern I'o.ition, of
Naval Vraaeln on nith
Seo?.
Washington. Fo> i try C.?The United
States navy has about completod a sys?
tem of wirolesB telegraphy which Will
1 practically cover tho positions of Its
I ahlpa on the high seas everywhere and
with the principal foreign countries
of the civilized world. The application
of wireless telegraphy to tho deter?
mination of tho longitude ef 'a ship ut
sea, in the opinion of scientists. Is de?
stined to bo paesad as one of tho few
! great and ueoful discoveries of the
age.
The time signals of tho Paris ob?
servatory aro distributed by wireless
telegraphy. The atandird clocks are
kept in the "Catacomba*' ninety feet
underground. whero tharo is prac
I tlcally constant temperature of 11.8
I centigrade, the variations in several
i years being under .02. The rldereal and
I polar clocks can be comparer at a dis?
tance, their beats being audible by
microphones.
Wireless telegraphy was first used
for distributing time signals May 20,
I lSlfi. It Is probably only R question of
time before those or similar signals
I will be available to ahlpg in any part
I of the world, which would completely
solve the problem of longitude at 6ca
with an accuracy formerly undreamed
of.
This and the gyro-compass are two
revolutionary improvements in naviga?
tion (luring the last fifteen months.
Th? mean solar clock ts put rlg^it at
Greenwich by an electro-magnet that
can either aid or oppose the action
of gravity on the pendulum, warning
signals being sent by hand in a pre?
arranged manner to give notice of the
actual signals, which are sent auto?
matically by the clock and go through
a relay of tho Eiffel Tower, whence
they proceed by wireless telegraphy.
A not* In the observatory recently
stated that a clockrnaster at Canter?
bury regulates his clocks by Paris
signals, which were recently changed
to accord with Greenwich time. Ger?
many has also a system of signals
dispatched from Norddolch, and Rio
Janeiro Is about to follow suit The
French propose to use tho mithod for
the accurate determination of the dif?
ference In longitude between rarls,
Blzerta, Tunis and Athens.
Why Actresses

How strange women generally haven't

Bill to Prevent Adulteration Ar?
gued With Spirit Before
Committee.
Paint manufacturers from .ill over
tho country and dealers from all parts
of this State were gathered yesterday
afternoon to oppose the Adams bill re?
quiring unalysls of paints, Unseed oil
and turpentine. Advocates of the bill
were equally active, with the result
that the debate proved, one of tho llv
est of the session.
Berkley D. Auatns, putrnn of the bill.
wuh aided by Deputy Stute Dairy and
Food Commissioner D, L* i'urvull and
representatives of the puirteru. Mr,
Adams stood to his guns in .spue of the
avalanche of opposition hurled at his
head.
"Over the heads of fraudulent paint;
' manufacturers hangs the name warn-;
ing given to BolShamar, me King of;
old?'Mens, Mciie Tokoi Upharsln; thyi
kingdom Is divided; thou art weighed'
In tlio baluncc and found wanting.'"!
Such was tho conclusion ul the aduressl
of John Dewar. of Pittsburgh, chair?
man of the legislative commuteo of
tho International Association of Mas
tor Painters and Decoratorp. In sup?
port of the bill. K. U Peters, presi?
dent of the Master Painters of Vlr
I ginla. was also an advocate of Its
paasagc.
So late In the afternoon did the'""dis?
cussion extend that the Mouse Com?
mittee on Agriculture postponed fur- .
thcr consideration until to-morrow '
?ftcrnooii at 1 o'clock. In executive
?esslon.
Dyrd Favors Heeaure.
Speaker Dyrd appoarod for tho bill,
saying that Virginia Is the dumping
ground for cheap commodities of many
kinds, barred from other States as the
rcHUlt of Inspections. lie explained,
the principle, by which ugenta of tho
Dairy and Food Commission would
draw samples of paints, raw and boil?
ed linseed oil and 6plrits of turpontlne,
and have tho results of analyses pub?
lished. All packages would be marked,'
and thoso not measuring up to the
standards fixed In the bill would be
? id and the manufacturer or dealer |
fined. I
J. I. Jenkins, a paint dealer of Nor-;
I folk, led tho opposition. Introducing
many speakers. Ho said that the small?
er Virginia merchants would suffer, as
people would buy from mall order
houses. An analysis would give no In?
dex to elllclency of paint, sold tho op-(
ponents, and there Is so much dis?
agreement as to what Is adulteration
that It would he of no use.
Those who favored the bill said no
honest manufacturer would be hurt,
and that In time to come all such
would favor the proposition. I
BILLS REGARDED
AS REVOLUTIONARY
Lawyers Say Measures Would
Destroy Doctrine of Con?
tributory Negligence.
With an earnestness not usually
shown by attorneys appearing before
legislative committees, arguments wore
made yesterday before the House
Committee for Courts of Justice
agalmst four bills deslgnod, so It Is
sold, to materially change the prac?
tice of the courts In all ages. Tho
committee partially hoard the matter
In the morning concluded ijublic de?
bate In the afternoon and will take
tho bills up In executive, session this
morning at 9:30.
It was said that the object of the
legislation In the four bills would re
suit in wiping out the doctrluo of
contributory negligence. One in par?
ticular was the principal object of at?
tack, and Is as follows:
"A bill prohibiting contributory
negilgonce to be made a defense in
action for personal Injury.
"He It enacted by tho General As?
sembly of Virginia, That In an action
i for personnl Injury, whether the same
j result In dcatli or not, if the ncgli
i genee of tho defendant be shown, con?
tributory nogllgcncc by the plaintiff
I may bo shown only Ln> mitigation of
I damages."
nn? Wide Effect.
I A. B. Guigon protested most vigor?
ously. Ho sold the bill goes further
I than any over passed by any State in
j the Union or by any country In the
civilized world using the common, law
I practice. It was manifestly, he said,
a gross injustice. It would deprive
j the driver of a motor cor or the driver
? of a wagon who Injures another from
? a hearing in the courts.
Were a farmer, continued Mr. Gui
! gon, driving to town, foil asleep In,
his wagon and run over a man who
had deliberately lain down to sloop
on the road, he would bo compelled to
I pay damages, the contributory ncgll
! gence being used only to reduce the
[ amount.
; Complimenting juries, he said thoy
; are disposed to bo sympathetic with
thoso who have been injured, and this
blil would tie tho h. nds of courts and
leave every defendant at tho mercy of
a sympathetic Jury. It would prac?
tically eliminate instructions to juries,
and would require damages in evory
caso whore there was negilgonce on
tho part of the defendant, oven if tho
accident would not nnd could not havo
occurred without the act of tno plain
,tnff.
Warming up to hin subject, Mr.
Guigon said 'hat his library of law
books, compl.d In tho course of ills
practice for a large public service cor?
poration, would not. If this bill passes,
lie worth the money it would cost to
burn It up. Tho prlnclplo Involved, ho
contended, uproots every dootrlno of
Ihe t.ourfj end every prlncl; le> of law
relative to damages, and overturns
cverp phaBO of pleading and practice
on thlB subject.
Murray M. McGuiro was no less em?
phatic. Ho pointed out that tho hills
require employers to Inauro their em?
ployes. Corporations, ho, said, cannot
keep their men from getting hurt If
employes Insist upon putting them?
selves In position to be injurod. Ho
also thought tho doctrine revolution?
ary. ' ' -.
T"ao four bills, wh'oh wore Intro?
duced by Hugh A. Whlto. wero not, ho
said preporod by him. but. by eminent
Richmond attorneys. They are de?
signed, he continued, to simplify pro?
cedure, and to give tho employee a
chanco to rocovcr In all cases.if the
defendant were nogllgcnt, allowing
tho Jury to detormtno tho amount of
damages. The. commlttoe ,1s much
