DIsCHARGED.-C. s. Way and Geo.
" Wheeler, OF Baltimore, picture
sgents. we're arrested here yesterday
eSening charged with selling picture
frames without a license and the men
we're before the Mayor this morning.
The Mayor imposed fine of twenty
dollsrs and Mr.. 8. G.. Brent, their coun-
sel sued out writ of hsbeas corpus.
Mr.. Brent assumed that the law gives
manufacturers the right to sell through
agents or by themselv without IL
censes, but the Mayor took the posi-
ton that such construction was a
a.t discrimination against all locs
dealers, as under the counsel's inter
nretston parties from other commuui-
Ties could come into Alexandria with
boxes of manufactured goods, claim
that they are manufacturers and be ex-
empt from all licenses and taxes, when
our own ocal dealers would have to
nav license for doing the same thing.
Public policy and the laws 10 pursuance
thereof would be opposed to such an
unjust discrimination against our own
people. The Mayor took occasion to
compliment Officer Roberts for his eff
CLERGY in bringing up the case.
The hsbeas corpus proceedings came
up before Judge Norton at IL o'clock.
Mr.. s. G. Brent appeared for the pris-
cuers aud City Attorney Boothe for the
city. After arguments Judge Norton
held that under the acts OF 1890, which
provide that all farmers and manufac.
iurers may sell their goods without OBJ
tanning license, the license laws ofthe
City Council In reference to such per
sons could not be enforced, whereupon
the prisoners were discharged.
Mayor Simpson then Issued State
warrant for the arrest of Way and
Wheeler.
o. complaint OF Sergeant Smith, c.
:. Way was brought before the Mayor
this afternoon for peddling without a
license and was tried on State war
rant
Mr.. Brent represented the accused,
and Messrs. Msrbury and Boothe for
the Commonwealth.
The Mayor imposed fine OF 300,
and Mr.. Brent noted an appeal.
The case will now come up In the
Corporation Court.

Oklahoma City, Ok, Nov. 21.-
F. w. Smith of Houston, Texas
backed by other capitalists, will
put in a cotton mill at this place.
The mill will cost $125, 900 and
will employ $50 men day and night
1t is estimated that this mill will
add at least 500 to the population
and will cause other industries to
be established here, which will be
of vast Importance. Mr.. Smith
this afternoon purchased eighty
acres adjoining the city on the
west for which he paid $40, 900
He thinks he has found the best
place in the southwest for a cotton
mill. 1t will be of $500 spindles
