BARN IN THE WAY
LITIGATION LIKELY OVER
PROPOSED STREET..
Wyoming Residents Consent to Original
Plan for Road to New
Station,

The Wyoming section Of Millburn was
very much in evidence at the meeting Of
the Millburm Township Committee last
night. The residents of that neighborhood
had held several meetings with the OBJ
ject of getting a new road to the new
railroad station at Millburn, and at their
request a special committee consisting Of
u. l. kellogg, r. C. Worden and ]. C.
Willever was appointed some time ago to
suggest a route for the new road. 1t had
plans prepared laying the road from
Laurel street in the most direct route, but
in its plans q barn on the property of Mrs,
Whitttngham was encountered, and it was
thought that the placing of the road on
the lines proposed would meet with con-
siderable opposition, and that the matter
would be tied up in litigation for some
time. and this plan was abandoned, and
a new map was prepared which passed
some distance TO the south Of the barn.
But this plan did not meet with the APP
proval Of the Wyoming people. n as a
result no hing was done In the matter,
and ii was to hurry matters along that
the delegation waited on the committee
last night.
Both Of he maps we're shown. and the
visitors were asked to select the plan
which would be more satisfactory, and
they adjourned to the rooms Of the fire
department to deliberate. when they
returned to the committee and recon-
merded that a route e~mbodying the best
points of both plans should be adopted.
But in this they were not unanimous and
became involved in a controversy over
the matter, and were advised to again
and in a very short time they returned,
and Il. c. Wotden, who acted as spokes-
man, said that they were unanimous In
accepting without reservation the road as
laid out by the original committee. A
resolution was then adopted by h com
mittee lnstructiug th9 township counsel
to take the necessary steps to have the
road opened, either by pro-
ceedings or otherwise.
The Rev. c.. Phillips Payson asked that
more adequate police protection be given
in Wyoming during the night hours, and
this mater WAS referred to the police
committee.
q. W. Campbell asked IL the new build
ing now being built at Lackawanna place
and Millburn avenue was not encroaching
on the road. and he was advised that the
township engineer had been instructed
TO make a survey Of the road with the OBJ
iect OF determining this point
The bonds OF Constabies Charles X.
Reeve, M. j. Whalen and Henry Han
kins were approved by the committee.

Of the different committees as follows:

after one.of his men had purchased a
bottle for medicinal purposes. This
man drank whole bottle for his
stomach's sake and he was measly
drunk for three days. General Viele,
military governor, being informed of
the discovery, ordered all BitterS con-
fiscated and an order was issued that
denied soldiers stomachs any relief

Sergeant Allen came into my office
one morning after the arrival of the

reported that many soldiers and citi-

ranging from one to ten gallons and

them as soon as received by Tom

pose large tin can. This was pulled
out and ten gallons of whisky was
found. Then the madam began to cry
and protest her innocence. The man
who was going to open the store was
found at resort across the street and
arrested. The woman said she had
bought the -four for family" use
The -four was stored in an old tobacco
warehouse near the steamboat land
ing and from that time on our supply
Of -four decreased rapidly and stopped
only when the flour" dealers in
Baltimore lost their customers.
For some time their was visible
evidence of sobriety among the SOL
diers in town and those who came in
on passes. Then we ran up against
brakes Plantation Bitters which was
sold everywhere because it was sup
posed to be harmless tonic for the
benefit of soldiers stOmachs. Those

its elegant qualities as a drunk pro-
ducer never gave up the secret. and

Georgiana was due next day and we
suggested to Allen that he had better
sample the kerosene after OBTAINING
the entire shipment. This was done,
and the second 10 gallon can revealed
the unusual demand for kerosene.
After pulling the first cork, which
was wired on, he found genuine oil
underneath and the cork was replaced.
Another can was opened and oil was
also found, but by accident the can
was overturned aud the small quanti-
ty of oil that escaped revealed the Sc
cret. Underneath the oil in the neck
another carefully sealed cork was dis
covered which one of the guard SHOW
ed In with his bayonet and the smell
of whisky told the tale. No one
claimed can that morning, and the
entire shipment was stored away in
the old tobacco warehouse.
1t was several days before the Balti-
more end of the game was sufficiently
notified, but in the meantime a large
amount of poor whisky and kerosene
had been secured and stored away on

in spite of every precaution I could
think of. I had a special provost
guard of 30 men from the First Della
ware Zouaves commanded by a vigil
lant and faithful sergeant named AL
len, whose duty it was to hunt for
contraband whisky at all hours day
and night. After studying over the
matter for a time I decided to pay
attention to the big passenger steam
ers that arrived daily from Balti-
more. Passengers from Baltimore to
points within the military lines re-
quired a pass from the provost mar
shall at Baltimore but their baggage
was never inspected. At first men
and women were allowed to land at
Norfolk without inspection, but some
of them brought along boxes and bar
rels which were consigned as mer.
chandise, and in this miscellaneous
outfit we found our first prize. One
man had ten barrels Of flour, and be-
ing questioned as to his location said
he had rented a store on Church
street famous for it's bawdy houses.

Permission to do business under mill

the provost marshals office and as no
permission had been given this man
or any other man to open business
among the demi monde, Sergeant Al
len was directed to keep an eye on
the flour. He did SO and that after
noon reported that the ten barrels Of
-four had been delivered at 1O1
Church street, notorious resort.
He was directed to return at once
and open one or more barrels Of flour
and see what was inside. He opened
each barrel and found nothing but
-four and was about to retire when
one of his men ran his bayonet into
the flour in careless manner and he
found something inside harder than
-four. He called to the Sergeant and
stuck his bayonet into another barrel,
the madam protesting against such
vandalism. Again the bayonet found
something besides -four, and a search
was promptly ordered. Enough -four
was scooped out Of one barrel to ex-

Especial to The Times Dispatch


ASHLAND. VA, July I'm view OF
the renewed agitation of the question
of the relation OF the Randolph-N Macon
system of schools to the Methodist
Church, DR.. r. +. Blackwell, president
of Randolph-Macon College, has pre-
pared signed statement defining this
relation and explaining the course of
the board of trustees. This statement
follows:
The discussion concerning the own
ership and control of the Randolph
Macon system arose because Of the
passage on August 16, 1906. of the en-
abling resolution required by the Car
negie Foundation for the Advancement
OF Teaching before admitting any In
stitution to the benefits of the Foun-
dation. The resolution is as follows:
Resolved. That In the conduct of the
RandolphM Macon Woman's College, no
test Is imposed In the
choice of trustees, officers or teachers,
or in the admission of students: nor
are distinctly UNCONVENTIONAL tenets or
doctrines taught to the Students
The president of the board was Bish-
op John C.. CRANBERRY. who had been
elected trustee III 1865. and who
had served with several nom Me thodist
trustees, who continued on the board
till 1871. Bishop CRANBERRY spoke in
favor Of the resolution, and desired to
be recorded as voting for it.
This was interpreted to mean that
the trustees proposed to adopt new
policy for the college, and thus sever
its connection with the church. Hence
the discussion, which began last year. 4
Board Makes Declaration.
At its meeting In June, the first
since the discussion began. the board
of trustees declared:
THAT the resolution of August 49,.
1906, is only declaration Of facts,
stating what has been the continuous
policy Of this board since it's formation.

ter of Incorporation, and was not In
tended by the board to mako, nor in
fact did 1t make any change whatever
in the existing relation of the Ran
dolphin system to the Virginia
and Baltimore Conferences of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and
1T Is the purpose of this board that this
relation shall never be disturbed" ID
Moreover, the board, when asked by
the Virginia Conference Committee
whether it agreed with the statement
that the adoption of such a resolution
marked a new epoch, answered cate
gorically. NO" Also when asked

Randolph Macon,s Relation
to Patronizing Conferences
Dr. Blackwell in Clear Statement Explains This Re
ation and the Attitude Of the Board
Of Trustees.

/, whether the board agrees that the
Randolph Macon institutions cannot In
| the future be represented before our
| conferences as church institutions, an
swered also categorically NO
1t is apparent, therefore, that the
board has most explicitly and In sew
eral ways stated that they will no,
change the relation between the col
lege and the church. They say in an
everything in their power to continue
the close relations which have always
existed between the conference and the
college,"
If. therefore, the conferences have
been satisfied with the relations that
have existed In the past. ought they
not to have their minds set at rest by
these explicit declarations?
No doubt this would have been the
case had it not been discovered by
! some for the first time that there is
no legal relation between the college
and the church. It is true that for
more than dozen years the catalogue
OF the college, the only official organ
Of the board of trustees. has contained
the statement:
These five Cat first four) institu-
tons are owned by one chartered, self

N[oreoveT,s7it was. of course, known
that the conferences did not have a
voice in the selection Of trustees, for
on several different occasions, in 1881,
in 1854 and in 19O3.S the question was
mooted of getting the trustees to give
the conference some official control.
