i REPRESENTED
Irignia League Magnates Dis
regard equest of Consolvo
to Postpone Meeting.
DANVILLE FRANCHISE
(Majority of Clubs Favor Paying
Bugs $2,500 to Get Out
j of League.
-Although Charles H. Consoivo anil
A. C. Omohundro. representing the
Norfolk club of the Virginia State
Leagdf, did not arrive In the city, the
^magnates began their meeting prompt
ly at 2 o'clock. Mr. Conaolvo wired to
©ttrner Bradley, of the local club, ad
vising him that the Norfolk people
could not reach her until night and
asking that the meeting be postponed
until that time.
Mr. Bradley hurried to Murphy's Ho
1 let, where the magnates meet, and ad
vised them of the receipt of the tele
gram and Its contents. It was unani
mously agreed to hold the meeting at
the time scheduled, regardless of the
absence of the Norfolk magnates.
The respective views of the various
magnates were expressed as follows:
President Wells: “The meeting will
have to be held strictly on time. I
: came here from Atlanta to be present
and must leave this evening lor Ntw
. Turk." ,
1 President Boswel, of the Danvllls
; CUb: “1 ran see no reason why mat
ters should be delayed. I move to have
the meeting."
President McLaughlin, of the Lynch
burg club: "I must leave for home to
night; had no business taking the time
to come down here anyway.”
Mr. Finne. representing Petersburg:
"I think it best to hold the meeting,
although the Norfolk people are ab
sent."
President Williams, of the Roanoke
club, and Owner Bradley, of ikn local
club, were forced to accede to the j
wishes of the majority, although they
wore anxious that Norfolk should t-e
represented.
Trouble Sure Now.
Mr. Consoivo was supposed to take
the lead In th> meeting and aguln pre
sent hts ultimatum, thus giving the
magnates something to act upon.
With no one representing Norfolk It Is
hard to tell what will be the outcome.
Wlnne Clarku says gnat Consoivo
was coming up here with a cold propo
sition to drop out Hoanoke, Danville
and Lynchburg. His idea is to organ
ise a league with Richmond. Norfolk.
Petersburg, Portsmouth. Newport News
and Hampton. It may be Clarke has
this wrong, but he says he has it
Straight from Consoivo himself.
The magnates do not know exactly
how to pn*ceed, as Norfolk held the
Whip hand In the last meeting and was
to do so this time. Without knowing
the exact attitude of Norfolk on the
various questions, it may be that some
thing will be done that will cause the
, Tars to throw the league over. The
magnates are facing a crisis and they
realize it fully. The Tars may drop
out tf Roanoke and Lynchburg are left
in, and they may not do so. How to
act in the premises is what is puz
zling the magnates at this meeting.
Hannan Also Ahssnt.
Mr. YV. M. Hannan, who is slated for
the position of president to succeed
President Wells, did not put in hts
appearance at the time the meeting
was called. It may be that he reached
Richmond at an early hour and will
Join the ip agnates after the circuit
business is completed.
Oanvills't Position.
It developed Monday that the Dan
ville Club 1s not asking much of the
league and It la-very likely that they
Will get what they want. 'We are
not particularly anxious to remain
In the league.” said President Bos
well. “Wo are going to ask for a
little justice before we ask for any
favors at the hands of the league.
We are willing to stay In tf we are
i wanted." he continued, “hut If we are
hot wanted we are willing to get
•ut."
President Boswell stated that the
Norfolk dub is Indebted to Danville
for her share of the transportation
pool for the season past. He aay»
that Norfolk also owes the same thing
for the season of ISOS. He Intimated
that they would take the matter up
with the national commission if the
Tara do not make a settlement.
Pajr for the Franchise.
President' McLaughlin brands as
false the statement from his city to
the effect that Roanoke and Lynch
burg are to stand by Danville and
fore** thf* Oth*»r pllllm til tike the* Rnirg
In at the cost of lowing all three of
the clubs.
"There Is no foundation for that
Statement," said Mr. McLaughlin. "I
believe the league would be beet off
with the original clubs, but am not
In a position to force this."
Mr. McLaughlin stated that the
Danville club will probably be paid
far their franchise when It Is taken
from them. "They came Into the
league under peculiar circumstances
several years ago." he said, "after
Petersburg and Newport News had
refused to touch the franchise. They
have shown a sportsmanlike spirit
every season, although they have lost
money, and they would see a sea
son through If it cost them $16,000."
' Mr. McLaughlin seems to think that
the magnates will endorse the plan
to play Danville for the franchise and
■ays that he is sure the Bugs will find
this acceptable If the magnates think
bast for them to get out. "It would
not look right to drop Danville is
that way without aome recompense,
and I think it is coming to them,”
•aid Mr. McLaughlin. President Wil
liams, of the Roahoke club, also
thinks that Danville should be paid
for the franchise.
The plan is for each club to pay a
certain amount of the money to be
turned over to Danville. Richmond
to pay $600. Norfolk $500. Roanoke.
JP*ie«»bur* and Lynchburg $S60 each
and Portaqiuuth $760, making In all
$1,600. It is not known that Norfolk
* Will agree to this. It is vary likilj
that they will not. but thia ta the
jklAn that will meet the approval of
the other clubs, end « seems about
the right things for Danville.
_ Mr. Bradley and President Wil
liams, of the Roanoke club, forming
a majority of the circuit committee;
Juer at Murphy's Hotel at 12 o'clock
god will make their report to the'
magnates Mr. Consolvo was the
other member of the committee. The
members of the committee refused tq
divulge anything concerning their
-touting^ bui it is likely that they
will favor the payment of a certain
gam to Danville for the franchise. >

QUEEN WILL RETIRE
TO STEM THE TIDE
MADRID, Oct. 0 (vis Hendaye, Oct
10).— In view of the chargee that th«
religious Influence ef Queen Amelli
Cal. had much to do with foaterln* th«
spirit of revolt which toppled the youth
off his throne, considerable significance
la attached lo-day to the announcement
that Marla Christine, queen mother ol
Spain, Is to leaVe the royal palace and
take up her quarters In another sec
tion of the city.
This move on the part of Christina,
It Is declared, is made' In an effort t«
prove to the people that she does not
; exercise a reactionary Influence ovei
King Alfonso.
i Whether she„ takes this act of hei
l own volition or at the suggestion ol
{ her son's ministers Is not known out
I side the little group immediately sur
! rounding the royal family. That It will
convince any one that Marla Christine
will cease meddling with Spanish poli

I a move might Impress the people wltl

Slight Chance.
Karly to-day a gigantic fan was in- 1
stalled Jn the main tunnel and the
rescue parties succeeded in gaining!
one mile of the "after-damp" which
tilled the mine. State Mine Inspec
tor Jones was in charge and said he
hoped to reach the point of the explo- ]
slon this afternoon.
"There is Just a chance that the !
men are still alive," said Jones. "The
mine is the largest in the State, with !
many cross cuts and areaways. Down i
in the labyrinth or tunnels are man> ;
recesses that would afford a refuge.
It ia possible that some of the men.
if not caught at the point or explo
, slon, may have found a way in safety
to one of these chambers."
, Jones admits that the chance is
•mall and the miners who know the
J mine believe all are dead.
There ia still the widest discrep- !
ancy between the figures of the com
pany and the estimate of the miners
at to the number entombed. The
, company says its checks show fifty- j
! five miners were In the tunnels al j
j the time of the explosion. The min-1
| ers believe there were al least ninety. I
To-day there are heard murmured
,! criticisms by the surviving miners.
"There w as a thick dust In many j
of the tunnels," said one of the mln

INGQURT BOOM
Convicted Burglar Tries to Kill
Companion in Crime Because
Latter Confessed.
Enraged because ha had been sen
tenced to ten years in the penitentiary
for burglary, and declaring the fact
due to William Perry, hi* partner,
who was also convicted on several in
dictments containing the same' charge,
William Stewart, colored, swung vi
ciously at Perry as the latter passed
him on his way to the bench occupied
by Judge Witt In the Hustings Court
to receive sentence Monday after
noon. He evidently meant to kill hli
former partner, and It took the com
bined strength of Detectives Kellam.
Wren and Wiltshire to hold him.
Perry was evidently expecting some
such attack, for he dodged just as he
passed Stewart. As a result the blow
struck by the latter landed glanclngly.
Even as It was, however. It caused
the recipient to stagger.
Stewart's attack w’lll probably cost
him several additional years in th«
penitentiary. He had already beet!
sentenced to ten years. A second
burglary charge against him was tc
have been nol-prossed. Now’ th«
charged will be pressed, and. hta con
viction being practically assured, il
Is probable that he will go up foi
five or ten year* more.
Stewart and Perry were arrested
by Detectives Wren and Wiltshire sev
eral weeks ago, following more thar
a score of burglaries in all parts ol
! the city. Close questioning by th«
detectives enabled them to secure i
! confession from Perry, and this con
fession was largely instrumental li
the conviction of Stewart.
PREACHERS OBJECT
TO VICE AT FAIR
(Continued from First Fage.^_
i it was this argument that Anally pre- j
i vailed.
Would Not Attend Ttieni.
I Hev. Dr. (Jerald Culberson admitted
I that he was radical. He wanted t<»
take the .bull by the horns, as it w ere, j
i and to fight it out in the open. He '
was even willing to make It a per-j
i sunal tight if occasion required,
j “1 have never been to a State fair,” j
he declared with much fervor and j
' emphasis, ’and I pray to God I never |
! will. No one more than 1 approve ;
I of the agricultural exhibits, but there
■ are other features that make the fair
' most objectionable. For that reason
i I urged my congregation to stay
I aw ay.”
Hev. Dr. E. L. Grace, calm and
dignified, then arose. Weighing his
words carefully and deliberately, he
entered a protest against any such
i radical action as proposed by Dr. Cul
berson—feared that resolutions on
paper would accompljgih nothing, but
he believed that public opinion could
be elevated by proper methods.
.Elevate the Farmer.
Hev. Dr. Thomas Semmes took the
same view, but he went further and
suggested that editors of agricultu
ral journals be requested to assist In
the education of the farmer along
moral lines as regards the fair.
Rev. Tilden Scherer again took the
floor and insisted that the gauntlet
be. thrown down then and there
against vice. He even favored .the
swearing out of warrants against
guilty parties. if necessary. Dr.
Semmes combatted this view, declar
ing it to be impracticable.
Dr. Lilly again cautioned against
i hasty measures, saying: ''Let's go and
' see the directors. 1 am sure that
will l>e better than the other way."
Sides With Lilly.
Dr. Ramsay thought the minister*
ought to do something to make them
1 selves felt, as they were undoubtedly
! a force In the State. However, he
j iriucu iv . j-jui.’ o
I)r. Brvan withdrew his original
motion. Dr. Billy moved that the
chair appoint a committee to wait on
the fair directors. This was adopted
and the Rev. Dr. F. T. McFaden, the
presiding officer, proceeded to make
the appointment selecting members
from each denomination represented
at the meeting.
Prior to the meeting the Baptist
ministers in regular weekly session
named a committee of three to look
into alleged gambling and other vices
at the fair and to report next week.
•This committee is composed of Rev.
Drs. J. R. Johnston, D. M. Ramsay
and B. F. Bryan.
At Venable-Street Baptist church
j Sunday Evangelist Ham. who is con
j ducting revival services there, also
