 VARIOUS COURTS Walter Hollis Got Out on a
 TechniCality A $100,000 DAMAGE SUIT Based on Alleged Removal of Coal From Plaintiffs Lands-More In-
 dictments By Federal
 Grand Jury.
A S1OO,OOO DAMAGE SUIT

In the United States Court yesterday Walter Hollis was on trial charged with violating the postal laws in that he had undertaken to use a two-cent stamp which had already been used once and cancelled. The testimony showed that Hollis had used two one-cent stamps in- stead of one two-cent stamp as charged in the indictment, and a demurrer to the indictment was therefore sustained.
 The defendant started to walk out ot court when District Attorney Vaughan suggested to Judge Bruce that he be held, as two other charges against him were now being investigated by the grand jury, one being for attempted bribery of a Federal officer and the other using the mails for fraudulent purposes. The defendants attorney said there was noth- ing in the charges. Judge Bruce said if that was true they would find it out later but finally let him go on his own recog- nizance.
 Charles Houston was convicted of re- tailing and fined s1OO and costs and given thirty days Imprisonment.

cent City.
 To Change Route.
 It is stated that the Southern Railway will begin running trains from Richmond, Va, to Washington at an early date over the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Poto- mac Railroad. It Is said the only delay in beginning the through service by way of Richmond is due to the fact that the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac already has so many trains using its tracks; its own, the Atlantic Coast Line, Southern and the Seabonrd Air Line.
 It has reached a point where the South ern will have to double track from Wash ington to Lynchburg. or use the Rich mond, Fredericksburg and Potomac tracks by way of Richmond. The latter course has been decided upon. The Ches- apeake and Ohio uses the Southern's tracks between Washington and Orange. The Southern will operate, probably, but two trains by way of Richmond one each way. A sleeper will be attached here to the southbound train, which may or may not take the place of the train now leav- ing here at 11:3O p. m. There is a chance that 1t will, in which case a local train for Danville may leave early in the morning.
