HUSBAND RETAINS
SHARE OF ESTATE
Has Curtesy Rights in Part ofj
Ford Property in Richmond.
Minister Is Trustee.
A husband of a member of the Fordj
family, of Richmond, is permitted to
retain his curlesy rights in her estate'
and his control of its proceeds by the!
action of the Supreme Court of Ap-j
peals yesterday, in denying a writ of
error. The petitioner was Willis BraceI
I>own. of New York, executor of the j
estate of Florence Belle Quincey. de- i
ceased, and the case is from the Chan?
cery Court, of this city. !
Mrs. Qulncy was a daughter of the!
late A. J. Ford. AS such she was final?
ly adjudged heir to one-fourth of his.
?-State, which included a factory build?
ing on Twelfth Street, near Clay, the
old Ford Law Building, on Ninth
Street, between, llrace and Franklin:
the Ford Hotel at Broad and Eleventh,
and land In Gloucester. York and Eliza-1
beth City Cauntles.
When Mrs. Quincey died. It was
found she had willed all her property
to her pastor. Rev. Parker Morgan, ot
New York, in trust for her only child.
Charles E. Quincey, Jr. Dowd was
named as executor. Her hsjshaad wasl
not mentioned- The son. it appears,
flecided to have his father allowed cur?
tesy, and brought suit for that pur?
pose The Chancery Court rwessratsed
the hushand'K claim, and, it is stated
In the petition, permitted the father to j
carry away from Virginia tie sum of.
$.11.671.75 In cash, part of his wife's'
estate, without security. It was ar-,
gued in the proceeding for an appeal
thst even If curtesy was to be allow?
ed, only income should Ue paid the
father, anl that he be not pcrmltteil
to handle the corpus without bond.
Considering the fact that father and
son live together. It was said the
"facts are eloquent" as to why the
boy wants the parent to have part of
the estate. Tie son. it is said, left
school at an early aee. worked for a
time, and has done nothing for several
years.
i The court allowed an appeal to St.'

Subcommittee Favors Reduction
I of 15 Cents to Con?
sumers.
WORKS NOW MAKE PROFIT
Believed That Use Would Greatly
Increase at Lower
Rate.
Reduction in the price of gas to con?
sumers throughout the city from i"0
cents to 75 cuts was recommended last
night by a subcommittee of the Coun?
cil Committee on Light, ai'uw an ex?
haustive study of compaiative figures.
The action of the committee was unan?
imous, though one member of the
committee said he would have pre?
ferred a cut to 80 cents, as being leas
of a drain on the financier of the city.
Superintendent Knovvlt-s, whiic takitiK
no active part in the debate, thought
the smaller reduction would be ample
at this time, and called attention to
large expenditures which will be need
sd for extension of the woiks and the j
distribution system, and to probable:
increases in the cost of certain of the!
main supplies. 1
Have variety of Katlssates. i
The committee admitted that a great]
variety of estimates have been made
as to the cost of making and selling!
gas, each expert having apparently ar-:
rived at a different conclusion as to!
what the operation of the works act- 1
ually docs cost. The annual report of!
City Treasurer James B. Pace shows
that he received on account of the
works last year $426,795.07. and paid,
out on its account for all expenses of;
operation $271,774.27, leaving as the1
gross profit of the year $155,020. Si-.
This does not allow for interest on
the invesenient. depreciation, taxes, nse
of offices at the City Hall, legal sei -;
vices, or other charges which might
be made against the works. I
Placing the present revenue from the:
sale of gas at tllo.000. the committee'
figured out. assuming that there would,
be the same amount sold next year.;
and that the cost of production would I
remain the same, that the loss in gross
revenue to the cl!y by reducing the'
price to so cents, would be $45,55ii, and
by reducing the price to 75 cents, the
loss in gross revenue would be $6S,334.
This loss, it was believed, would be '?
partially offset by the increased con-1
sumption of gas. and the increased j
number of connections in the newer'
territory of the city. Mr. Knowles;
pointed out that such Increase meant
aa increase In the cost of coal and oil
as well as in labor for producing the
additional quantity consumed.
Mayor Heeoauneaded Reduction.
The committee went into figures
compiled by former Mayor Richardson,
who. in his last annual message, re?
commended that the pi ice be reduced1
to SO cents, and also into compilations!
of Special Accountant George S. Cren-1
shaw on the subject. Former Mayor]
Richardson took the ground that gas'
consumers pay their taxes like other|
citizens, and It was therefore unjust J
to impose upon them additional bur j
dens for the support of the govern- j
ment. The cost of production would I
decrease In proportion to the volume at]
output, and the p-esent works werej
capable of producing one-third more;
gas than was being manufactured. He: j
estimated the present cost of gas. de-j
UTSIsd at the burr.er. after providing
for ever/Ofharge. to be 72.5!? cents per]
thousand cubic feet. If the mnsump-j
tlon could be increased to 750.O00.000i
eubic feet, the former Mayor figured;
that the cost of gas at the burner!
would be reduced to 64 7S cents per 1,-j
000 cubic feet.
Mr. Kaon lea Eotlssate?.
In his last annual report Superin?
tendent Knowles included an elabar- j
ate statement of the cost of manu-!
facturing gas for the year Just closed,
making the cost of manufacturing gas
at the works .307. After allowing for
leakage and condensation, and the cost
of distribution he placed the cost of
gas at the burner at .3S71. Sales ex?
penses including meter reading, com?
plaints, collections, office rent, etc..
added .041 while superintendence, legs.l
services, insurance. Interest and re- j
demotion with taxes added .2891, and:

HAH II AHD BURTON
II STREET FIGHT
Iron Manufacturer's Face B-icLy
Cut*by Contractor?Both
Are Arrested.
As the result of a list tight over a
bus.n. as dispute, both Huben burton.
aaivaatzeU lion contractor, and H. V*
Hann, general superintendent and In?
spector for the John T. Wilson Com?
pany on the new Times-Dispatch
oui.ding on Tenth Street, are under
summons to appear in 1'olice Court
mis morning and Burton is at home
with a badly cut face. The encounter
occurred about 10 o'clock yesterday
morning, when the two men met by
accident on South Tenth Street be?
side the American National Bank
building.
Accoidmg to Hann, the Iron con?
tractor was the aggressor in the!
trouble, while Burton declares that
he was the victim of an unprovoked j
assault. In his account of the dilti- j
culture, Hann Bald tue trouble began |
when he complained to Burton of thaj
character of certain iron work whicit j
the subcontractor had done on the new i
Times-Dispatch building. Burton, says |
Hann, refused to make the altera- ;
tions desired and insulted and knock?
ed him down, when the superintendent
entered the iron contractor's offlcje
to urge his point.
Landed Three Blows.
In spite of provocation, said Hann,
ho refused to take up the light begun
by Burton and left the office. Yes-,
t.-rday morninx. Burton came on The j
Times-Dispatch building^ asking for ,
the superintendent, but did not locate
him. A short while later, Hann left '
the tiuildiiic and saw Burton stand?
ing on Tenth Street beside tiie Ameri- j
can National Bank building, and cross?
ed the street to ask what the iron;
contractor wanted of him. '
Burton immediately broke out into!
a tirade of abuse, Hann declares, and ;
sqssrud off as if to hit him. Hann'
did not wait for the blow, but sprang !
at Burton and hit him three times
in the face before the two could be I
.separated. One lick eat the right i
eye badly, another produced a outi
above the left temple and the third
landed on the jaw. Burton's family ;
physician treated the wounds, which1
while painful, are not serious.
Traffic Officer Lee and Mounted Or-1
fleer Jorden were attracted to the
BPSas and immediately arrested both I
men. They were allowed to go after I
promising to appear in Police Court;
this morning. i
SAVES LIFE BY
JUMPING IH RIVER
Dunnavant Attempts to Shoot
Caudle, Who Had Been
Tale-Bearer.
A tale of friendship broken and
home ties threatened was unfolded to
Justice of the IVace McCarthy Whoa]
?lohn B. Dunnivant. a James River j
fisherman of tio.uth Richmond, was!
charged In a warrant with having fired J
four shots from a revolver point- I
blank at Arthur c. Caudle, of 10? West
Fifth Street. South Richmond, about 11
o'clock yesterday morning on the river
bank below the old TriKg ship yards.
Kscaping death at the pistol point
only by leaping into the cold waters
of the river, Caudle would have sunk
down to his death had it not been for
the bravery of his friend, CSilbert Tur- |
ner, another South Richmond fisher- '
man, who sprang to his rescue as he
Was about to go down for the last'
time. Dunnavant, his smoking revolver
in his hand, stood by and watched
Turner drag Caudle from the river.
Fortunately his pistol contained but
four shells, and in his excitement hid ,
aim was poor and none of the shots |
took effect in Caudle's body. <
Shortly after the affair. Caudle ap-1
peared before Justice of the Peace Mo- I
earthy and swore out a warrant charg
?SB Dunnavant with attempting his!
life. The warrant was served by offi?
cer W'aymack and Moore, of the Third
Instrict. and Dunnavant will be given
a hearing this morning in Police Court
Arthur C. Caudle. Gilbert Turner arid
Caudle's father will appear as wit?
nesses In the case.
The story leading up to the shooting
goes back several days to a party
which Dunnavant gave on a boat In]
the river, in which a woman figured I
prominently. Caudle. It Is alleged, was
present on the boat, and later repeated
what took pla.-e to Dunnavant's wife.
Before this time the two fishermen had I
been friends, and had often cast the I
hook and line together np and down i
stream Being reproached by his wif.?
Dannavant turned upon Caudle and
charged him bitterly with having at?
tempted to break up his home.
Yesterday morning Caudle, with Tur?
ner, was fishing the river when Dun?
navant saw them from the shore, and
in a friendly m.tnnc-r called them to
come over. Not suspecting trouble.
Caudle rowed to where Dunnavant'
stood, and after a few nrellmlnar.,
words !>unnavant drew his revolver1
??nd began pourinK lead at Caudle To
save his life, Caadle sprang into the
river, and had !<? b- draeeed to safety

ANTHRACITE VERY SCARCE
Car Shortage Is Factor in Gen?
eral Market Conditions?Rich
mondcrs Buying Early.
The mercury has played ?round the
upper regions or the thermometer dur?
ing the last month, and the eutuo c oun?
try has enjoyed a period of uucxcellcd
weather, but despite this tact ihe gen?
eral level of coal prices, usually re?
sponsive to the influence ol the tem?
perature, has been maintained aboul
50 cents above the average tor Octo?
ber of 1*41.
The price of steam coal is tixed by
yearly contract, and !n consequence is
not subject U the variations which
affect other coals, but with this excep?
tion all grades of coal are now selling
for 5u cents more on the ton than they
were In August. The most noticeable
factor in the local market is a scarcity
of anthracite, which sells now at $S a
ton.
The higher nt ices ard du = to :. n>.oi?
lier )f influences, both gen, >al and
local. A Richmond dealer said yester?
day that anthracite coal was high now
because none of it was being shipped
to the Qaalh. Most of the anthracite
produ.ed in ttiis country comes from
Western Pennsylvania, and it is now
being shipped from there to the. West
in order to take advantage it the
lower freight rates which prevail be?
fore the freezing Of the Great Lakes
for the winter closes water transpor?
tation.
Higher Than New York.
It has been a matter of comment
among local buyers of anthracite that
they must pay Js a tpn for it here,;
while the price in New York is only;
$7.50. When freight rates are taken,
into consideration. h>w?ver. it may be
?ueen that anthracite sells in Richmond;
about 13 cents cheaper in the ton than,
in the metropolis, for Richmond pays a
freight rate 65 cents greater than tnst j
charged the New York dealers on this
commodity.
The principal factor in the inrreased
prices of soft coal in local markets has,
been the strike in the West Virginia'
fields. The Kuawha region, which is'
the most abundant sonrce ot domestic!
coal for Richmond, was more seriously
affected by the strike than was any
otiier part of Virginia. .Soft coal sells
now in Richmond for $6.
Car Shortage \cMte.
In enumerating the influences at
work on the coal market. "The Fuel
Magazine."' a Chicago trade publica?
tion, mentions the prevailing car short?
age, more acute now than at any time
during the last five years, and the
widespread alarm among individual
consumers. Coal pays a lower trans?
portation charjre than any other class
of freight the railroads handle, and
for this reason the coal consumer Is
the first to find It out when a car short?
age exists. I
The movement at the Northern beet
sugar crop began a few adys ago. arid
20.000 cars will be required for this
work until the arrival of freezing
weather. Railroad construct! >n bosses
have recently shown a marked pref?
erence for coal dump cars for use jn
construction work, and the cars so
employed will not as released until
the cold weather puts a stop to con?
struction work. *
The coal market depends largely on
the time which the consumer elects to
purchase his winter supplies. A local
dealer said last night that Richmond
buyers were steadily laying in theJr
winter fuel before the cold weather
reaches thi* point. "The Fuel Maga?
zine," in discussing the situation, re-!
marks that Saj the foresight of the:
consumer depends in large measure the
future trend of the market, and that
purchase now may eliminate danger
from a grave situation at a later date.
