PRIMARY CASES
WILL EAPPEALED
General Receives Rec.
ord and Decides to Secure
Ruling.

Immediate preparation will be made
by Acknowledgement Samuel ", Will
liams for taking the Norfolk primary
cases to the Supreme Court Of APP
peals, for the purpose of securing a
ruling as to the constitutionality of
the statute under which it was sought
to prosecute the judges Of election at
the courthouse precinct in the August
primary. He received the record in
these cases yesterday, and will pro-
coed at once with the preparation OF
his petition for an appeal on the part
of the Commonwealth, thinking 1t a
proper case for review.
1t is regarded as barely possible
that the case nay be so matured as
to allow of argument at the January
term of the court. This. of course, de-
ponds entirely on circumstances. Ser
vice must be gotten on the three men
affected, and there is no way of fore
casting the number of days which will
be consumed by the court In deciding
to grant or to reject the appeal asked
for. If all goes we'll, a decision may
be expected early In February, or at
the latest at the March term.
Important Question.
This case Is of considerable interest
throughout the State, in that the Nor

the statute designed to punish frauds
In primary elections is in conflict with
the Constitution in that 1t contains
matter not embraced In the title. The
same point had been raised in a case
appealed from Richmond, In which the
Supreme Court declined to grant a
writ of error from a decision of Judge
S. B.. Witt. of the Hastings Court OF
Richmond. This action on the part Of
the higher court was taken to mean
that 1t considered the constitutional
question raised and did not think 1t
worthy of argument.
There is a general wish that the ap-
peal Willie granted and the case heard
by the appellate court on its merits
and decided once for all.

In order to secure a certain uniform

for plans there should be a specified
height above low water. Mr.. Boiling
agreed, and at that time recommends
ed that it be made four feet higher
than the present bridge at either end.

Having become assured hat another

pected, Mr.. Boiling yesterday sent a
circular letter to members of the
Street Committee and secured their
consent to that change in the specih-
cations before any of the blue prints
are sent out. Thu action was approved
by all and will later be formally ap-
proved when the committee meets,
chairman Adams decided that 1t was
unnecessary TO call a meeting at this

course, add to the cost of piers and
TO the cost of the abutments and street

SOLDIERS SHOULD
HAVE FEDERAL PAY
Colonel Stern Denies Lack o:
-Patriotism-Reports on His
Inspection.

Denial of the assertion that the de-
mand for Federal compensation for
volunteer troops for attendance at
drills means pay against patriotism"
is made by 1nspector-General 10 Lane
Stern. In his annual report to Adj
jutant-General w. ". Sale. Colonel
Stern says that the duties required OF
a militiaman are such as to deserve
pay, and that the laborer in military
lines is as worthy of his hire as in any
other field.
However, he would guard against
paying what he terms the eleventh
hour soldier" for coming in and mere
ly answering TO his name, the same
amount received by the man who drills
faithfully for two hours.
In his annual round OF inspection
among the different m OF tho
Virginia Volunteers, Colonel Stern
finds that most of the muster rolls are
not at all up to the standard. Many
errors were found In the regimental
rolls for the First and Second sInfan-
try, while very few were discovered.
in the Fourth Infantry. Company a.
of the Fourth, presented a roll which
was perfect. Knowing how to pre-
pare muster rolls is of the first inn
p%ortance, says Colonel Stern, and he
gave the delay in paying the soldiers
who attended the joint m~aneouvres at
Gettysburg as one result OF incorrect
maintenance of rolls.
slight Gain Noted.
He found the total membership of
Virginia troops to be 2.545, a gain of
10 over last year. However, there
was a total decrease of -four per cent.

learned that a large number of the
men do not attend a majority OF the

the temporary absence of men from
their home stations.

the terms of 32S had expired, 800 had

Care of Property.
He recommends the continuance of
the appropriation of SIS per month
for the pay of company quartermaster
sergeants, TO take care OF military
property.
A difference of opinion was noted by
Stern as to the value of the
tan shoes issued just prior to the
Gettysburg encampment. Probably a
majority af the commanders report
on this matter, while others
say that the soft toes, becoming wet.

Referring to the battalion Of field
artillery, Colonel Stern notes the re-
tirement of Major NJ. c. Keeling. after
fifty years of service with the yolun-
teer militia of Virginia. He refers
the election of Major workman as
the successor. and to the appointment
Captain Jennings g. Wise, "a young

Object to Construction of Pro
posed Virginia Avenue
Sewer.

Application was made to the Hen

by Willis B. Smith, attorney for Sarah
Fl. chaffin n other property-owners
in the section known as Riverview,
Just outside of the city limits, ask
Ing the board to rescind its action Of
mond permission to construct the vir-
ginia Avenue sewer. City Attorney
Pollard was engaged in arguing the
City Dock case before the state Cor
poration Commission. and could not
be present. The case was therefore
postponed until December 13, when
the board Will hear argument on the
question of resembling its former ac-
ton.
Reversing Supreme Court.
soine or the attorneys have charac-
terized the effort OF Mr.. Smith as an
attempt to nave the county Board of
Supervisors reverse the Supreme Court
of Virginia. In July the board grant
ed the city the right to run a sewer
through Virginia Avenue and under
the river, and the contract for the
work has been awarded, the sewer,
with Its branches. being the largest
piece of construction the city has at
tempted in years. and designed to
drain a large part of Clay Ward.
Contending that Virginia Avenue vas
not "a public thoroughfare and that
property would be damaged by
the digging and blasting and by the
encroachment of piles of material and
othef items of necessary construction,
Mr.. Smith applied to the Circuit Court
Of Henrico for an Injunction. which was
refused, City Attorney Pollard arguing
age the property owners had occurs
at law. and tina the work should not
delayed or stopped merely because
possible damage might ensue, a liabil-
ity which contractors and the city must
assume in all construction work. The
injunction was refused. and the case
to the Court of Appeals, where
Judge SCOTS ruling was sustained.
Would Reopen Case.
Yesterday Mr., Smith sought to re-
open the whole case by asking the
of Supervisors to reseind it's for
action granting the city the right
of way for the sewer. Shoul the
board lake such action, which is re-
garded as highly improbable, lii view
of the fact that the city has entered
contracts involving an expenditure
of several hundred thousand dollars
in good faith on the county's action,
condemn the right of way. in which
case the city might purchase and close
Virginia Avenue outright. and any
damage to abutting property owners
would be lessened by the value OF the
right granted by the city for those
living in the county along its route to
empty drainage into it. In view of
the urgent Importance of building. the
great drain. already long delayed by
II was stated by some city
Yesterday that any expensive

ton of the suburb known as Riveryiew
