Charges Against License
Board UnfOunded.
Report of Investigating Com
mittee Made Today.
Shows Ine Emptiness Of the Allega-
tiOns of Misconduct

Alderman Fuller, chairman OF the joint
special COMMITTEES appointed to invssti-
gate certain charges against the board of
license commissioners, presented the final
report OF that committee at this after
noon's session Of the board.
1t has two important features. First,
the commissioners are completely vindi-
Gated, and second, several changes in the
liquor laws are recommended.
The report states that after careful ex-
animation of the evidence submitted at
the pu blic hearings, the committee decid-
ed that In granting license tor saloon
at the corner Of Bishop and Plain streets
tho commissioners acted in accordance
with law and fully within their legal dis
cretion.
Relative to the charges OF alleged mis-
conduct on the part of the commissioners
The report says that evidence in support
OF them and in defence was taken at nu-
merous public hearings and that the
greatest latitude was allowed the attor-
neys on both side, but an impartial exam
ination of the testimony did not justify
any OF the charges and none of the cases
were proven.
And then, according to the exact lam
guage OF the report, at Is evident there
fore that the commissioners must be ex-
CntTdttu iTOm any Improper couuuC0 VI
interested motive in the discharge of their
official duty
On the other hand II is the opinion OF
the committee that wholesale liquor DEAL
ers have considerable influence with the
license commissioners and that many
second class licenses are granted at their
request.
The rest of the report is devoted to
recommendations. The comm itteee sug-
gests that the Board of License CommIs-
sioners be reduced from five TO three men,
bers, to he elected by the City Council
in joint convention for terms OF one, two
and three years, respectively; that the
number OF secoud class licenses which
may be issued in any one year be limited
10 325; and that the price OF each be in
creased from S40o TO $500.
Another recommendation is for the
creation of the office of Liquor Inspector
with authority 10 have the liclnse of any
dealer who sells adulterated Liquor re-
voked.
The committee also recommends that a
better method of keeping the records of
tire commission, than tns hitherto Pre-
vailed, he insisted upon.
As every recommendation OF the COM
mittee, with the exception of the one
relative to the increase of the license
price is for some action that the City
Council has no authority TO take, the re-
port is accompanied by resolution to go
TO the General Assembly and ask for such
changes in the existing liquor laws OF the
State that enabls the city to follow out
the suggestions.

make It an interesting event.

Chief Means OF Defense Among All Old
World Apes.
Among all old world apes the teeth
are the chief weapons for defense
against natural foes and for combats for
mates or tribal supremacy. The CANNES
are in most cases enormously developed,
insomuoh that i'll informed naturalists
have suggested that a near relationship
must exist between the primates and
the carnivora. AS matter Of fact, these
formidable teeth have nothing to do
with alimentation, but are as purely
weapons OF war as are the bayonet and
the maxim gun. In practically every
emergency demanding unusual energy,
obstinacy and courage they come into
play.
In every conflict with the world, the
flesh and the devil-as such things ara
understood in pithecoid sooiety-the
temporal and masseter muscles are the
chief arbiters of war. To become great
and powerful anthropoid it is absolute
ly and brutally necessary TO have q
large and strong jaw. to give firm at
tachment to the teeth and good leverage
to the muscles That for an immense
epoch our prehuman ancestors achieved
success in life in like manner is as clear
as the print of ''Maga" to those who
have learned to read natures handwrit-
ing.
Since those days of true Arcadian
simplicity our life has become bewilder-
ingly complex, and our methods for sst-
tling social difficulties have changed
generally for the better. But here. as IN
so many other instances. the habits OF .
past age have left an indelibIe impress

OUR ATTORNEY
GENERAL.
RISKED AN OPINION WHICH
SAVED THEM.
Governor O'Ferrall's Le-
gal Adviser.
"REMINISCENCES OF TIE FAMOUS
TRIALS.
Sheriff Oasdosa was Disappointed. .

Attorney General r. Taylor Scott is
too we'll known to the people OF Vir-
ginia to need an introduction here.
His record in the Lunenburg Case
was as remarkable as any of the pro-
ceedings which for more than a wear
has occupied the attention OF the legal
fraternity of the Old Dominion
1t was upon his recommendation that
Governor Charles I. O'Ferrall directed
City Sergeant Charles H. Epps to hold
the prisoners pending hearing from
Judge Qrgain.
In this, now celebrated opinion by
the Attorney General he enunciated
the fundamental principle that the pri-
mary purpose of all law was the protec-
tion OF human life.
1t was a foregone conclusion that
Pokey Barnes would have been lynch
ed had they been carried at that to
Lunenburg County.
His argument in the nunc- pro-tunc
proceeding was equally able and pro-
nounced.
He opposed the counsel for Lunen-
burg County and declared that a court
couln not amend the record after il
had been signed and certified and the
term had ended In this contention he
was sustained by the Supreme Court of
Appeals.
Attorney General Scott is Of pleasant
address. His voice is suave aud musi-
cal, and he reminds one of the old Vir-
ginia aristocrat who was pre-eminent-
~ gentleman and made his friends
feel at home in his presence.
Few men would have braved public
sentiment as did he. Few would have
risked their reputation in rend. ring so
broad an opinion in an effort TO shield
and saved the lives of the helpless
1t demonstrates that after all there
are liberal minded citizens-o Officials OF
the commonwealth, "to the manner
born" and in whose hands we can safe
ly entrust our cause.
