THE CRY or NEWPORT NEWS.

Plan of Charter.

NEWPORT NEWS. VA. Nov. l3.-Spc-
cial.-The Business Mems Association met
last night and received he report OF
the committee appointed some weeks ago
TO draft city charter for Newport News.
The charter embraces all OF the territory
west Of the Chesapeake and ohio rail-
way, from tho northern limits OF the
ship-yard down TO and Including the
docks of the Chesapeake and ohio, the
narrow strip OF land which runs 10 the
river at Seventeenth street known as
the Acre" Rockets. Church Hill, and
all Of the East-End, except the settle
ment on Ivy avenue.
This entirely puts at rest the Iears OF
many that the incorporation ideas or
the Old Dominion Land Company were
such that they would not submit TO any
charter which took the territory east OF
the railroad or extended above the ship
ward. The lani company has heretofore
aDproved OF the many improvements
made or suggested by the Business Men :
Association. and there is no reason TO
believe that they will act otherwise III
this instance.

great deal OF talk about unprofessionalaf

professional conduct Others contended
that none were guilty of II.
Finally Senator Gray. Benjamin Nieids
Charles G.. Rumford, Herbert H. Ward.
and w 5. Hilles were appointed a com
mi,tee 10 present resolutions expressive
Of the sense of the meeting. They re-

qualified adherence to the traditions hand
ed down to us from honorable predeces-
sors which condemn the personal or other
solicitation of clients as a means OF
securing business and take this method
OF informing the community in which
we practice that conduct OF this kind
has never been and is not now approved
By the bar OF this county.
The other resolution provided for a
committee of live TO take into considera-

any charges of such misconduct that
may be made by members against each
