Sears amendment, that mo facts shall
be considered other than those 80 adj
niitted,' never reached u votes MIR.
Strobe, OF Amherst, offered a substitute
for this amendment. and Judge Sims, OF
Louisa, proposed an amendment for tho
Strobe substltsltc. The argument broke
forth afresh In all It's force, but the
Sims amendment WAS adopted by vote
of Is to IL. Judge Phlegar then promptly
made motion TO adjourn. but was voted
down. Judge Sims offered an additional
consequential amendment.
The Patieson-Scars forces announced
that in lieu of what they wanted, but
couldn't get, they would support tho
Strobe substitute, as amended by Judge
Sims. BY vote OF ~ to q the Patteson
bill. as changed by the various amend
ments. was then ordered to its engross-
1nent. In Its final form the bill provides
that in all suits or motions hereafter,
when the evidence is concluded before the

demurrer to evidence shall state In writ
Ing specifically the grounds OF demurrer
relied on. and the demurrer shall not be
forced to join in the demurrer until the
specific grounds upon which the demur-
rant relies are stated In writing. nor
shall any. grounds of demurrer not thus
specifically stated be considered. and after

P,1blicity.

Now. since all OF those directly con-
nected with this case who have made
any public statements at all express
themselves as desiring or welcoming In
vcstigation and as discountenancing OPP
position to the demand for invest1ga-
ton, the query very naturally occurs:
Who Is It that is opposing investiga-
ton of the trouble in the Corporation
Commission over the affairs OF the Vir-
gnin Corporation Company, Incorporated?
What is holding back the invcstiga-
ton? There Is something very mys-
FERROUS to us about all tliis.-Norfolk
Landmark.
If there is any mystery. The Times
satisfied that every material fact in con-
nectlon with this case concerning the
commission itself has been published. But
there is still lingering suspicion in the
minds Of many persons, and therefore
an investigation should be held. It is
due to the commission, as we'll as to the
public.
