edy in the courts. He read authorities
to prove this.
Can it be that they are afraid to
face the courts?" asked Judge Phlegar.
IT is the only conclusion / can reach

! With reference to the statement that
the attorney for Mr.. Ryan had dragged
the Seaboard Air Line fight into the
considerations of the bills. Judge Phlegar
bers OF the committee to bear him out;
that Mr.. Potter had not opened his lips
until after two attorneys for Mr.. Will
liams had spoken in favor Of the Sears
substitute.
Reiterating some of the history he
had reclted Saturday of the Seaboard
Air Line fight. Judge Phlegar brought
ont one consideration, very clearly. Mr..
Williams had formed the Seaboard trust
to extend ten years, and admitted that,
If it were still In the hands of his
friends, he would insist upon retaining
it for the full length of the ten years.
Much had been said by Mr.. Sears about
the fact that no trust not invalid at the
time it was formed had anything to
fear.
But observe this Language in the sub
stitute. gentlemen" declared Judge
Phlegar.
provided that all such contracts
made prior to May 81. 1903. shall be
governed as to their validity by the
same rules of law. equity and public
policy as those which may be created
AFTER this act goes into effect"
And what is the principle of public
policy laid down to go into effect after
this act goes into effect?" asked Judge
! Phlegar again. 1T is that no trust shall
be valid that is formed to last longer
than five years. Mr.. Williams organized
the Seaboard Air Linz trust for ten
Years. and admits that, II his friends

THE SENATE.
Did Not Want to Advise on Sub.
iect Of Spending $5o,ooo,ooo

Senators We're slow In arriving, and
several moments passed while the chair
patiently awaited a quorum. Owing to
the Saturday half-holiday among the
business houses there was no printed
calendar. much Inconvenience resulting
therefrom. Preliminary business was
very brief. there being few committee
reports and but one new bill, the first
in many days.
Considerable indisposition was mani
tested by the Senate toward adopting
the memorial introduced at the request
of Congressman Maynard calling upon
the national legislature to spend s50.000.-
600 a year on rivers and harbors. 1t
was explained by Mr.. Neimeyer of Forts
mouth, that the general assemblies of
all the States would be asked by the
various Congressman to memorabilia the
Congress upon this subject. Objection
was made by Mr. Keezell of Rocking
liam, and Mr.. WicFham, of Hanover
who doubted II 1t would be proper for
the Virginia legislature - attempt to
advise The Congress as to the expentli-
ture OF an immense sum of money when
1t knew nothing, or was supposed to
know nothing. of the condition of the
national finances. The Portsmouth Sem
ator insisted that the Congressman who
prepared the memorial are on the
ground, and are thoroughly familiar
with the state Of the treasury. He call

regretable number of them. did right,
not because it was right. but because
the courts compelled them to do right.
Both sides agreed that trusts should be
curbed. but while the Sears substitute
made the trusts in existence before the
Cation act amenable Ito the law the
Phlegar bill left1 them to- continue for
five years longer however il,iquitous
might be their provisions. The Mathews
Senator was severe in his denunciation
of the Cation act which he declared
"stalked through the General Assembly
with the tread of a cat He took coca
sion, however, to express his belief that
the patron of the act did not realize its
fun import. The Phlegar bill he styled
the child of the Cation act bearing the
likeness of its father, which if passed
would come back like a ghost to haunt
you in this chamber forevermore."
Calling attention to the precise pro-
visions of the substitute Mr. Sears de-
clared that it did not affect a legal vot-
ing trust, but simply declared that a
trust invalid at the time 1t was formed
should be dealt with by the courts. There
was no question of disturbing the BUSH
ness transactions made under these
trusts, The substitute validated all the
acts made in the past and simply pre-
scrfoed that no acts should be made

PASS NEW JUDICIARY BILL

Both houses OF the General Assembly
held three long sessions yesterday and
disposed of great deal of business.
The bill creating five new judicial cir
cults went through both branches, and is
now up TO the Governor.
The House passed the supplemental
appropriation bill, carrying si15.cN for
Jamestown and various public institu-
lions, as well as the measure offered by
atr. Fuller TO prevent the redistricting
OF cities for five years, except by n four
ifths vote OF counGis.
The body also adopted the Byrd resolu-
ton, TO inquire into the question of the
list of public school books in Virginia,
and concurred in the Senate resolution
for the proposed Eastern State Hospital
inquiry. after striking out the section
providing that the newspaper reports
shall be subject to censorship by the
committee.
The bill approprtating $1,000 to en-
courage immigration into Virginia was
PASSED by the House, and at the night
session the Fuller bill. removing the limit
OF $4,000 liability on corporations in cases
OF deash or injury. was engrossed, as
was the Cation bill. extending the pro-
visions OF the pension laws, so as 10 IN

who were married as late as 1855.
Went Over Until To-day.
The bill OF Mr. Cation to distribute the
tax upon the rolling stock of corpora
tons among the counties through which
the lines of road operate, was debated
al length and went over until to-day.
The Senate devoted good deal OF time
to discussing the bill passed by the
House providing that cities may levy
taxes on abutting property owners for
purposes OF street improvements; but this
went over at 1870 p. NJ. in favor of the
special and continuing order. which was
the Phlegar bill on the subject of voting
trusts. and this was finally passed, after
warm debate. with some immaterial
amendments suggested by the patron.
There was one bill offered in the Senate,
cut none appeared in the House.
The one offered in the Senate was by
Judge Sims to establish State Female
Normal School at Fredericksburg.

AT the night session the Senate passed

was no objection. Bills meeting the con-
