ALLEGED INJUSTICE.
Truck Farmers Say There is Discrim.
nation at Center Market.

The regulations governing the assignment
of space along the market line adjacent
to the Center Market and the public space
on Louisiana avenue and on B street north
west was the subject of a protest from a
delegation of truck farmers from Virginia
before the board of Commissioners at the
District building this morning. They de-
clared in emphatic tones that they are be-
ing Disseminated against in the allotment
of the space, and that the farmers from
Maryland and from the District are being
shown favoritism and a preference. Sew
eral of the speakers claimed that the mar
ketmaster had refused TO assign them GER
tain given space upon the grounds that the
space was allotted to those who held per-
mits All the speakers bitterly criticised
the regulations governing the issuance of
permits.
The farmers who brought their wares
to Washington to sell Were allowed to take
any space along the market line" prior
to last June, but this method was objected
to many of the farmers would drive into
the city on the evening prior to market
day and would remain over night in order
to obtain the desirable places. The change
of procedure was adopted by the Commits
sioners upon the recommendation of the
sealer of weights and measures of the Dis
trict, who has supervision of the markets
The new regulation requires all farmers or
persons desiring to offer for sale their
products to obtain permit. The delega-
ton before the Commissioners today de-
clared that the Virginia farmers had never
been informed of the change in the regu-
lations, with the result that the farmers
from Maryland and the District secured
all the available permits, thus freezing them
| out. as the speakers termed it.
The object of the hearing was to have
the present regulations amended so as to
provide for the daily issuance Of permits.
The Commissioners concluded the hearing
by announcing that they would take 1t
under advisement before making any de-
cision.

by diluting essences with pure water and
testing the limit Of strength at which men

DISTRICT LEGISLATION.
Prospects Of Bills Before the House
COMMITTEES.


The House District committee held its last
meeting Of the session yesterday AFTERNOON.
The proposition to reduce the price of gas
to rs cents thousand cubic feet. as provid-
ed by the Madden bill, on which a number
of hearings were recently held, was not dis
cussed. The members Of the committee
were given no opportunity to vote upon the
bill. as it was not called up. AS matter
of fact no member Of the District commit
tee endeavored to have 1t called up. Nor
was the Morrell resolution or the Madden
resolution. which are similar In nature and
which provide for an investigation of the
public service corporations Of the District
by the bureau of corporations during the
summer recess. considered at all.
The most the committee did was to favor
ably report the bill to give the local street
railway, permission to build to the union
station One proposition was made during
the meeting to attach an amendment to the
bill to make the local street railway cor
porations sell eight tickets for a quarter,
but this was promptly voted down. 1t is
believed, however. that the nature of the
street railway bill favorably reported is
such az to make germane almost any

CULPEPER, Va, February 21.-Judge

the session of the circuit court convened

were In town early this morning and were

Trouble in Getting Jury.

mer State Senator Jeffries, leading counsel
on the two sides of the case, stated last
night that they anticipated trouble in get
tinga jury but they thought the jury should
be sworn and the case opened not la ter than
Monday morning. They stated that the
taking of testimony and the making of the
arguments ought to be finished in time for
the case to go to the jury Saturday night
Commemorative Attorney Keith ridiculed
the idea that the case is likely to develop a
feud between the two families.

1t is regarded being rather significant

other persons with the exception of the de-
PENDANTS.
Miss Bessie Strother, a single sister of
the defendants. as the record shows, is to
be put, upon the stand by the common
wealth. She is the one who was at the
house the evening of December 10, and who
left shortly before the Rev. Josiah Ware
performed the marriage ceremony between
Viola Strother and Will F. Bywaters. 1t is
stated that she left the house because she
did not want to witness the marriage GER
emony. After the killing of Bywaters she
was threatened with an attack of nervous
proStration. and her relatives thought
visit to friends in Tazewell county would
improve her health. She went there, and
the county officers had to send there to
summon her to appear as witness. Mrs
Triplett. whose name is in the list of wit
nesses. is a sister of Will Bywaters, and
William F. Bywaters is his father.
1t is conjectured that Mrs. Bywaters.
whose husband was killed only a short
while after the marriage ceremony was
performed will have to be brought into
court on stretcher. Such a move, it is
argued, will probably have a tendency to
influence the jury in favor of the defend
ants. 1t is certainly something that the
commemorative representatives would like
to prevent.

COTTON PRICES
 JUMP SHARPLY Market Opens Higher on Strong General Support CROP ESTIMATES LOWER Shorts Cover Their Sales While Bulls Take New Courage On Better
 Financial Situation and Steady Spots.
CROP ESTIMATES LOWER

New York, November 1s.-The cotton market WAS fairly active today and ruled higher with the close very steady at net advance of 9 to 27 points. Sales were estimated at 350,oo0 bales.
 The market opened firm at an advance of to 16 points, and before the upward movement received any material check the active months showed a net gain of 2S to 29 points on covering of shorts and bull support. Higher cables and exuecta- tions of relief from tight money through the measures proposed by the govern ment seemed to be the main bullish fac tors, and the demand came largely from Wall street shorts. After the first hour of covering the demand was less active and during the middle session prices eased off several points from the best, but steaded up again in the late trading on reports that prominent spot firm in the eastern belt had estimated the crop at only Il, ,G50,QOO bales. The market closed within or points of the highest.
 There was comparatively little news from the south regarding spot conditions. The spot markets officially reported were 14c lower to 1sc higher. Some of the local spot people reported that offerings to New England were poorly received, but there was talk of a demand in the in- terior for export. Foreign houses were buyers here during the early session. while some of the local traders were sell ing during the day on the theory that the advance was merely a speculative spurt, refecting the sentimental effect of government efforts in behalf of the money market
 Receipts at the ports today were 6S,SSl bales, against 6l92S last .week and 57,S46 last year; for the week, S40,0Oo, against S54,24S last week and 412,949 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans, 15,6S9 bales, against 15.6o9 last year, and at Houston. 16,O57 bales, against 1S,o27 last year.
