NEW PLAN SUGGESTED
Col. Newhouse Says Commissioners
Might Be Named by Primary.


There is some talk Of a compromise
plan for choosing commissioners of the
revenue, by which they would be nomi-
rated in Democratic primaries and then
appointed by the courts.
This plan. it is said, would probably be
satisfactory to both sides and 1t looks
as If it may be adopted when the matter
comes up for final action after the
Christmas holidays. This would avoid
the constitutional inhibition as to re-elec-
ton and would permit the officers to
serve as often as they should be nomina-
ted by the people.
The plan has been suggested by Col
cnel S. NJ. Newhouse. Of Culpeper. who is
an advocate Of appointment by the
courts, and is looked upon with much
favor By the advocates OF popular cleo
tons.
There is some talk Of holding a Dem
ccratic conference after Christmas on the
subject. in order to bind the Democrats
to some definite policy on the subject and
to prevent the Republicans from holding
the balance Of power and controlling
action in the Legisla ture,
1t is ursTd by some that the primary
plan would not work. as the judges would
NOT take ccgnizance of recommendations
made in such manner.

Dredging Harbor to Be Cons
sidered-Another Attempt.

Although Chairman William H Curtis
has twice called the Committee on I'm
provements Of James River within the
past week for the purpose of consider
ing matters of vital Importance to the
city he has been unable to get sufficient
members present to constitute legal
quorum as a result Of which no action
has ever been taken.
An effort was made to set together
quorum last night, but only six of the
fifteen members. four Councilmen and
two citizens. were on hand. Under the
law q majority constitutes a quorum.
and only two additional members were
needed
Those present last night were Chairman
William H. Curtis, Gilbert X. Pollock
and E. II. Ferguson, Of the Common
Council; ". J. Gilman, Of the Board Of
Aldermen; l.. D. Crenshaw, Jr., and
E. T. D. Myers, Jr., citizens from the
city at large. Absentees: F. II. CARRIER
and a. L. Phillips. of the Common Coun-
ell; Henry P. Beck and NJ. Fill Seay. of
the Board; Il. T. Ellyson. John F. Mayer,
Virginius Newton. E. D. Starke and w
n. Urquhart, citizens from the city at
large. Mr.. Seay has been excused from
attendance upon committee meeting by
President Turpin, Mr.. Beck is out of the
city and A11 CARRIER is Ill.
President Turpin, ex-officio member Of
the committee. was at the meeting. as
he is deeply interested in the scheme for
improving the harbor.
MUCH GRUMBL1NG.
Among those present last night much
grumbling was to be heard in regard to
the two successive failures for the COM
mittee to get together, after having been
called by the chairman. They think 1t
unjust that those who are attentive to
their duties and perfectly willing to per-
form them to the best of their ability
should be hindered from SO doing by the
lack of interest manifested by others.
and it may be that the Council will be
petitioned to decrease the number or
amend the law so as to require that
quorum consist Of not over five or six.
Chairman Curtis is anxious that it be
known that no blame attaches to Ser
geant-at-Ar1ns Ruskell, for ne says that
this official serves the notices In time
