He is Assured That Constitu-
tion Will Stand the Test.

Yet-Senator Daniel at His Coun~

Wise Communication. .

Richmond people read yesterday with
great interest. the statement from Hon.
John S. Wise, Of New York, regarding
a probable fight by the negroes on the
new Constitution. The citizens of this
community have accepted the new Con-
stitution, are pleased with it, and do not
relish an attack on it.
Hon. John Goode president Of the
convention which framed the constitu-
ton. believes that hostile action from
any source will come to naught. He was
seen at his ONE in Bedford City last
night by a 4.4nes correspondent and said
he had not read Mr.. Wise's letter to the
Richmond negroes and consequently at
such short notice was not prepared to
make an exhaustive statement He had
no fears as to the validity Of the new
Constitution or its standing every test
of the courts. The Supreme Court. in the
case Of Williams VS.. Mississippi, by a
unanimous vote. had declared the new
Constitution Of Mississippi to be valid
because by its terms there was no dis
elimination between the negro and white
citizens, and consequently it did not vio-
late the Fifteenth Amendment. In his
opinion, the new Constitution of Virginia
was less liable to attack on the ground
Of race discrimination than that of Mis-

GAMBLING RAIDS OF
DAILY OCCURRENCE

Members ofLegislature and Convention
Said to Have Largely Supported
Gambling Joint-Mayor
Says 1t is Up to Board.

Interest In the gambling situation and
developments in this city received a
stimulant yesterday in the published re-
ports that one place In this city had been
practically supported for time by men
who were in the Constitutional Conyen-
ton and in the Legislature. According
to rumor large sums were won and lost
in this one place, which, however. was
not in the Second Police Precinct This,
with the raids of yesterday, made by
Policeman w. II. Wyatt and other mem
bers Of the force and the resulting cap
ture of many hundred dollars worth
Of gambling parapnernalia lent piqu-
ancy TO the case.
In one. of the raids in Broad Street
Policeman Wyatt captured some valu-
able papers which will tend to establish
ownership of the various gambling
places. These were in the shape of due
bills, markers, checks, notes and some
protested notes. To one OF these papers
was signed the name of a State Senator
who is widely known. The statement
that a place in the First Police Pre-
cinct was practically supported by Leg
islators and Constitutional Convention
members shows that whether or not the
city authorities knew of the gambling
the State Officials did
The result of these developments, un-
expected as they were, is awaited with
considerable interest. The matter may,
in some shape, come before the Legis-
lature when it meets again. This Is
doubtful. The fact remains. however,
that the statement was made in good
faith by a man who quotes others to
support it.
CASE WENT OVER.
On the return of the search warrants
which were issued at the request of Po-
liceman Wyatt in Police Court yesterday
Squire Graves, at the request of coun-
sell allowed the entire matter to go over
until September 11th, at which time
Commonwealth's Attorney Richardson
will go into the prosecution of the ac-
cused men. Meanwhile all the parapher-
MALTA which was seized, consisting of
faro layouts, roulette wheels, deal boxes
poker tables and crap layouts, have been
turned over to the court and are now
under lock and key in the City Hall.
The stuff in the City Hall yesterday COM
fortably filed one corner of the base
ment and is valued in the aggregate at
several thousand dollars. The stuff cap
tured in one raid alone is said to be
worth 5000, and one roulette wheel is
priced at $500 All of this stuff is to be
burned when the cases are disposed of.
Statements made yesterday that. as a.
result of the gambling raids and the
widely expected conviction Of the ac-
cused men, charges of neglect of duty
would be preferred against Captain J.

officers of the Second tation, as it was

the short side of speculation was dangerous

quotations on the first two davs OF the week
changed their position yesterday, and their
operations with buying by several substantial
