Board OF Aldermen Follow Com

nance Over Veto.
DOCTORS TAX THE ISSUE
;ToRs' TAX THE ISSUE
Vigorous Fight Against Exempt
ing Physicians From Tax Made
By Alderman Blair.

The Board of Aldermen had one of the
iivest and most exciting meetings OF the
season last night. The usual routine
business such of 1t as was brought out.
was disposed of in the usual quiet way.
but when the Mayors veto message and
the tax ordinance from the lower branch
came UP for action the fun commenced.
The Mayors veto message was read.
but 1t was quickly lost sight of in a
very animated discussion of the PROPOSE
ton to exempt physicians from the assess
ment and payment of license tax. To
concur in the action OF the Common
Council and pass the tax ordinance over
the Mayors veto would be to exempt the
doctors, while to sustain the Mayors
veto would be to put the tax ordinance
of last year, which taxed the doctors,
back in force.
Alderman Blair led the fight against
exemption, and Messrs. Minor and Dab
ney for the doctors. Mr.. Blair made a
speech for equal taxation. and he was
quite vigorous in his condemnation of
the doctors lack OF patriotism In wish
ing to be exempt. Messrs. Minor and
Dabney as vigorously and as earnestly
defended the doctors, ana DR.. Hodges,
who was granted the privilege of the
floor made telling speech. but weak
ened it by admitting at the close that
he had not lived up to all the require
mcnts of the law. Mr.. Blair did not fail
to use this In an effort to break the force
OF the doctors strong speech.
The ordinance was passed over the
Mayors veto, and physicians of Richmond
are exempt from the payment OF license
tax.
Proceedings in Detail.
The Board was called to order at $3.50
by President Turpin. A message from
the Mayor was read, which has already

and was at that time concerned chiefly
with an almost peremptory demand from
friends and supporters of the Richmonder
that the intolerable mystery shroudins
the hearing and damaging the good name
and business standing OF the man on
trial be removed and the facts left to
speak for themselves before the bar of
the public.
Behind this attitude, strong since the
star-chamber proceedings began, but en,-
phasized yesterday in a remarkable and
significant degree, lies the story, as 1t Is
being told. of the happenings in the COM
mittee room on Monday night, resulting

made freely and in unmistakable terms
that not only has the fight not enGed with

So much for the feeling on the Cloves
side and the aspect of the Investigation

committee. though composed OF men per-
sonally in favor of openness, Is pursu-

Petition for Relief.

Tile letter. which is referred to as a pc
tition for relief, was prepared by Frank
c. Drane. secretary to the league. Mr.
Drane claims there has existed for
long time combination OF the Pennsyl-
yania Railroad with the anthracite and
bituminous coal mining and shipping
companies to stifle all competition in vio-
lation of the antitrust laws.
He recites the grievances to which the
independent operators are subjected
through alleged discrimination. pardcu-
larly the soft coal operators In Penn
sylvania Virginia, Maryland, West Vir-
gnia, and says that the independents
are helpless. The letter asserts that the
Pennsylvania Railroad has established
rules that only certain markets can be
supplied by one region, and that the pri-
yate cars of the soft coal trust have
unlimited choice OF market to ship coal
in. according to the demands therefor.
Mr.. Drane charges that the soft coal
trust always fixes a price which gives
the trusts and the roads hauling coal
to market an excess profit over and above
the price the independent operator can
get: that the hard coal railroads are
all common carriers and miners and ship
pers of their own anthracite product;
and that the railroads pool and regulate
the price of hard coal by selling 1t d.
rect to the dealer to be sold to the con-
sumer at the prices fixed by the rail-
roads.
Cost to Consumer.
."rhc cost to the consumer usually is
at least one-third more than before tne
strike of 1872, he says.
Continuing. the communication declares
that nearly all of the softAcoal properties
have been acquired by roads to the At
lantic seaboard, and 1t expresses the be-
lief that the Pennsylvania and the -,ew
York Central now indirectly own the Po-
cahontas fields in Virginia, nearly all the
stock of the Norfolk and Western and the
New River coal fields and nearly all the
stock of the Chesapeake and Ohio, the
roads mentioned az being the only trans
portation means from the two fields to
market; that the Pennsylvania and New
York Central control the Baltimore and
Ohio and the Philadelphia and Reading;
that the Pennsylvania, through interme-
diaries. control the Pittsburg Coal Com
pnny and the Consolidated and the Fair
mont and Somerset Coal Iining Compa-
nies, the last two named companies con-
trolling all the soft coal fields on the
lines of the Baltimore and Ohio; And that
