PLAN TO DISBAND
Firemen’s Relief Associition
Members Will Try to
Amend Charter
ANOTHER DIFFICULTY
IS ALbO SETTLED
Miss Cassie Atkinson to Receive
$1,000 Benefit on Fact* of
Protests of Captain

kill soon b« disbanded and the $XU,UUQ
n Us treasury divided am* nr. the
nembera. IX a plan suggested by At
ofney B. 8. P. Patterson at a stormy
neeting of that body last night ;
arrlti.
In order to get around the recent ,
uiing of Judge John H. Ingram to!
he effect that the association cannot i
e dissolved except by the unanimous ‘
onsent of ail the members. Attorney j
.ouis P. Wendenberg will go before .
he State corporation commission and
lave tne charter amended. The
cording w ill be changed s*> a* to allow
dlsunnding at the request ot a ma- *
orlty of the members, and the tac
Ions headed by b iro Captain John ,
tedwood, which opposes such a
ourse,"being hopelee-.y in the mlnor
:y. It is probable that before the cue |
f the present year, the association
kill have ceased to exist.
Although Attorney Patterson sug
tinted this plan it waa not for such
. purpose that he attended the meet- i
ng. Instead he tva.-. there represent
ng the Interests of Miss Cassie AlkLn
on. who ha_« been trying for several
reeks to collect a $1,000 benefit duv
ler as a result of the death of her
ather, the late Fire Captain Charles
. Atkinson. Thus far Miss Atkin ■ >n
iaa been thwarted by the oppogi m
f Captain Redwood, who as one of
he three trustees of the association,
as Insisted that she must produce
ertain papers which she says are 1n i
he hands of an attorney.
,-^Xr Patterson insisted that his client
hould be given her money, with the
xeept of Cttptain Redwood all the i
tembers agreed with him
Efforts were made to persuade Cap
aln Redwood to change his opinion
ut the latter flatly refused.
Thfn the member* took matters In
heir own-hands and agreed to amend
he byelaws of the association In order
o allow puvment of the money on the
eeommendation of two of the three
rustees. This means that Captain
tedwood's protests will avail nothing.
Miss Atkinson will not receive her '
honey for st least one month, it being ,
lecessary to put the matter of amend- t
ng the by-laws to a vote in each of
he fire companies separately. While
his will consume time, however, it
» merely a necessary formality. It
leing generally admitted that the
uestlon will carry by an overwheim

MAJOR WERNER FEARS
RIOT IN RICHMOND
Major ljouls Werner, chief of po
lce of Richmond, will recommend
to the police commissioners Wednes
iay evening that the moving pictures
:>f the Johnson-JefTrles nght be not
ihown in Richmond.
Fearing an encounter between the
whites and the blacks, the head of
he police department, acting upon
natructions given h*m by police com
Tiissloners who are cognizant of the
fltuatlon througliout the city, Major
Werner said that he would ask all
>f the theatrical men to withhold the
pictures of the tight for a week or so.
"There has been no serious riot In
:he South, and I do not want any
:hlng''lo happen that will place a blur
upon the State of Virginia. Trouble
s likely to start if pictures are shown
n which the negro is beating th< j
xhlta man. Reports from other cities
say there has been a fight and then
igain a fight. We want to keep these j
ihings down in Richmond.
"Along about January" or February 1
>f next year we wouldn't object to the
noving picture meiv putting on the pic- |
ures. The sentiment would be dead by
hat time.”
But while Major Werner says this!
here are those who claim that Inas- j
nuch as the moving picture men pur- !
based tfie pictures and the motion ple
ura shows here t u.v these pictures no
aw can stop the promotors from ex
libltlng them. ‘
Ohfj thing is certain. If an attempt Is
nade to prohibit tbreatre-j from show
