PARLOR CAR PILOTS Us. THE BOARD.

Areumant on the Petition Of Walt er L.
Virden Against the Oommiasioners
Begun Before W. spruanoe, ohAncel-
lor ad Iitem.
A hearing In the famous ''parlsr car
pilot" case WAS begun In the United
S a.es Court room this morning before
William G. SpruaDee, chancellor al
litem. Lewis O. Vsndegrift and +. g.
Bradford represented Walter L. Virden,
the plaintiff and Levi @. Bird appeared
for the Delaware Board Of Pilot Commits
sloners. Mr. Virdsn was present. as WAS
Pilot Robert Q. Chambers, who appeared
for the board
The hearing began at 10 80 o'clock,
after Colen Ferguson, clerk OF tha Court
of Ohancery, had read the commission
from Chancellor Nicholson appointing
him as chancellor ad litem had bsen
read. The petition Of Walter L Virden,
asking that the board be enjolnsd from
imposing 6ue or taking away his license
was read by Mr.. Vandegiitt. The main
points were that the statute did not give
IS q cause for the suspending OF q pilot
or the taking away Of his license any OF
the reasons advanced in this case, but
by resolution Of the board, aud that
the board had not tbs power TO so
create q cause.
The answer OF the pilot commissioners
sets forth the fact that the board was
created By act OF the legislature Of 1881.
ia order to regulate pilotsge in the bay
and river, and TO make the service an
oficientone II pilots are permitted to
make contracts With steamship lines and
Join vessels In foreign ports, the efficiency
Of the service would be destroyed, and i5
would no longer be possible to keep
sufficient supply Of good piloas on the
pilotase grounds.
Mr.. Vandegrift opened the argument
claiming that the resolution Of the
board practically amo1nted to psrpet
ual susp snslon and that any such act
was an exceeding Of the authority con
ferred on the board That the statue 9
speei6ed certain causess on which the
taking away ofa license could bo done,
but that In no clause was the cause on
which this particular case hinged,
named. Tae res olution required
the pilot to operate from q duly
1 licensed boat but there Was g decision TO
the effect that the board could not force
pilot on any boat, nor was it included
In the qualifications required OF
him that be provide himself with
transporta tion on a licensed pilot boat.
The argument is still on
