ROADS MAY APPEAL
TO SUPREME COURT
S. A. L. Said to Contemplate
Taking Passenger Rate De-
cision Up.

In view OF a dispatch received from
Norfolk last night. and the gossip that
is heard in Richmond on the subject,
it would cause no great surprise should
some of the railroads contest the recent
decision OF the passenger rate matter
by the State Corporation Commission.
Here is what was sent out from Nor
folk with reference to the matter:
AT the office OF the Scaboard Air
Limo Railroad Company to-day 1t was
said that an appeal will be taken from
the recent decision OF the State Corpo-
ration Commission, establishing a two
cent passenger fare rate"
The impression has prevailed here from
the beginning OF tho inquiry that 1t was
the purpose OF the Southern Railway, and
perhaps some others, to appeal in the
passenger Yata eases, but II Is Believed
that all the companies will accept the
decision with reference to freight rates.
The attorneys and officials for the
roads will not talk for publication. and
1t may DO that they have come to no
definite understanding up to this time,
but it Is not at all unlikely that u move
will be- made shortly looking to an appeal
in the passenger rate cases.

Hon. Richard Evelyn Byrd, of Win
chester, who has been in the city sew
eral days, gave out q statement before
leaving for his home last night, defi-
nitely announcing his candidacy for
Speaker of the next House of Dele
gates to succeed Hon. w. d. Cardwell,
who will not stand for reelection.
Though Mr.. Byrd's is the only posi-
tive announcement SO far made, yet
there will probably be other aspirants,
including Hon. John w. Churchman. of
Augusta, and perhaps Hon. Robert w.
Withers OF Suffolk. Colonel James r.
Cation. OF Alexandria. has been favor
ably mentioned by his friends. but
gentlemen who are close to both. de-
clare that he and Mr.. Byrd will not
oppose each other
A letter received here yesterday from
Major ], N. Stubs. of Gloucester states
that he has speakership aspirations.
but the former Senator who is heading
for the House has made no definite an
nouncement on the subject.
Byrd Is Confident.
When asked last night If he would
be candidate, Mr.. Byrd made the
following statement:
~ have upon consideration and
after consultation with my friends
definitely made UP my mind to be
n candidate for the spcnkcrship of
the next House of Delegates. 1
have already had many unsolicited
nssurances from present members
who will almost certainly be re-
turned of their support
81 believe / Will be the next
Speaker and Will use every honor
nblc endcnvOr to secure the nomina-
tion of the Democratic caucus. 1t
IL nm honor of which any man may
be proud"
Mr.. Byrd has been in public life more
than twenty years. and has never been
defeated for office He Will probably
be tinopposed for the House this fall.
He was chairman of the Courts COM
mittee of the last House, member or
the Committee on Finance and Rules,
ana of the joint Committee on Public
Grounds and buildings. He was chair
man Of the joint committees which IN
yestigated the State Corporation Com
mission and school book matters.
Mr. Byrd was a member OF the Demo-
cratic State Committee from the
seventh District for eight years, and
after serving twenty years as attorney
for the Commonwealth in Frederick
county. he retired from the Office on
his own volition.
announcements from other pros
pectlve candidates will be looked for
with interest, and the contest promises
to be a spirited one.

of death was made by Coroner Taylor.
Whether the tragedy was due to an
accident or was case of suicide. long
held DR.. Taylor in doubt. but he finally
came to the conclusion, after ques-

detailed and searching inquiry, that
the man came to his death through sui

last evening at the Bijou Theatre the
second appearance in this city of Lottie
Williams in the Blaney musical play
"NIy Tomboy Girl"
This play combines the attractions of
melodrama and musical comedy in a
manner that, If not artistic, is at least
profitable to the management. and seats
will probably be at premium for this
week. Since last season new songs
have ben added and the scenic effects
somewhat embellished. Miss Williams,
already Richmond favorite is capa-
BILE and Woodworking little actress. and
catches the tone spirit of the melo-
drama in commendable manner. Her
part in this play could not be more ac-
ceptably filled. The members of the
supporting company are chosen with
care and are equal to the average cast
of the Blaney plays. and the chorus
sings and dances with vivacity in the
musical numbers. the best of which
were 1.-THE Moon Has His Eyes on You
and 1.-THE Sweetest Dream OF AL. Mis-:

diateiy ran to the place, meeting Knox,
a negro, who came from next door
and taking him with him. Leake was
gasptng in the last agony when the
two arrived. and in ten minutes he
was dead.
The wound was to the left OF the middle
OF the body. and the bullet seemed to
have taken an upward course. The pistol
was found lying under the mans left
shoulder, but how it came to be in such
an unusual place could not be discov-
cred.
Leake lived at No. West Leigh Street.
according to his wife, from whom he had
separated some time ago. Martha Jack
son Is also separated from her husband.
This fact led DR.. Taylor at one time to
consider the theory that murder had
been committed, but as the evidence did
not substantiate this. and II was diff
cult to imagine how the shooting could
have been accidental, he was brought
later to the belief that 1t may have been
suicide.
