COMMISSION HAS
NO JURISDICTION

|, A good deal of speculation has been
indulged In by the public as to wheth-
er the State Corporation Commission
will take cognizance of the 40 per cent.
advance in rates promulgated on Sep
TENDER LIST by the Richmond Transfer
Company. of this city, but the question
seems now to be settled.
Clerk r. T. Wilson, of the commits
sion, declared yesterday that the trans
fer company is not public service
corporation within the purview of the
Constitution. and that. the commission
could not for this reason take juris-
dction In the case.
Superintendent Dunn, of the COM
pany. Is clearly of the same opinion.
and 1T looked as If this view is the
correct one.
Mr.. Wilson says that the commission
has no more jurisdiction over the
transfer company than 1t has over an
individual hauling goods upon the
streets of the city. 1t is commended that
the agents of the company enjoy GER
tain privileges and facilities on rail-
roads not accorded other transfer peo-
pie, and that the stock is owned largely
by the officials of one of the Virginia.
roads. This, however. Is met with the
answer that the company Is still not
q public service corporation. and that
the ownership of the stock Is held in
the private capacity of these gentle-
men,. tl 44t4

HORSE SHOW CROWDS

ing States Indicate Large
Attendance.

Every possible assurance has been
given the management OF the Rich
rnond Horse show Association that the
seventh annual exhibition to be held
here from October 9Th TO 18th. inclu-
sive. will be a success both in num-
Der, quality and variety of horses ex-
hibited, as well as In attendance. Every
day Secretary VI. o. Warthen is in re-
ceipt of numerous letters inquiring for
stalls for fine horses or for hotel
accommodations. These letters come
from all sections of the State and the
Carolinas, Washington. Baltimore,
Philadelphia. Maryland and New York
States. Many of the writers say that
on account Of the large attendance
expected at the Episcopal Convention
they fear that rooms will be scarce
during horse show week. All such are
being Informed by Mr. Warthen that
ample roomi have been assured for all
who will b, in Richmond during that
week and many more, as Richmond
Is better able to care for large crowds
than ever before In her history.
Mr.. Wa;then requests all owners of
boarding houses to send him their
names am addresses. together with the
number Of rooms they will have vacant
during horse show week. He also
wants tie rates charged so that he can
furnish an accurate list to all nquirers
for boaid and lodging.
This years demands for prize-lists
was fsr greater than ever before, and
this significant fact alone would assure
the management of the horse show that
more general interest is felt in the
exhibition here than in many other
PLACES.
Practically every one of the box
holders of last year came promptly for
wam some weeks ago and re-engaged
their former boxes for the, coming
show. Many new applicants also want
edfboxes, and while the reserved seats
hive not been placed on sale, Mr..
Warthen is daily in receipt of letters
applying for from. two to dozen seats.
III such letters are carefully filed in
