REVOKED PERMIT OF
ARMSTRONG BROTHERS

r G H M ON d, vA.-Speciai.-
The State Fisheries Commission
have this week held two very
long sessions. the principal work be-
ing the matter of the revocation of
the dredging permit to Armstrong
Brothers. Commissioner Lee. in in
vestigating the oyster troubles along
James River. claimed that the stakes
OF the Armstrong bottoms were FOO
TAR out, and he at once revoked the
permit pending resurvey. The Arm
strongs agreed to keep within the lines
as staked by the new survey and TO
ieaVe all the matters to the final sur
Vey. The disputed rocks cover an
erea of some ten or eleven acres. and
the board decided to allow the Arm
strongs TO resume work within the
lines defined by the surveyor This
was apparently satisfactory to the par
ties and was an approval of the ac-
ton of Commissioner Lee, in that the
disputed lands are declared to be free
grounds.
Secretary Matthews declared that
the action Of Commissioners Lee was
entirely proper and that he did not
IN the least exceed his powers when
he ended the dredging by. the Arm
strongs.
The James River bottoms are less
than one-twentieth of the total of the
oyster bottoms OF the State" said a
gentleman who is acquainted with the
situation, land yet il gives twenty
times as much trouble as the rest
Of the State"

PRISONERS ESCAPE
FROM SING SING
Five Convicts Beat and Bind Two
Guards and Make Good
Their Escape.

NEW YORK. = Special. - Five
cOnvicts, quartered in the chapel
of Sing Sing prison at OsSining,
n. ", because of the prisons
overcrOwded condition, escaped
from the institution Friday after
beating and then binding two
guards.
The men got out by saving
away the bars of one of the chapel
windows and then scaling the
southern wall of Sing Sing, which
Is 30 feet high. The escape was
one OF the most daring i'm the
annals of the State prison. A re-
markable feature of il was that
one of the prisoners, William
Green, weighs $50 pounds.
How he managed to scale the 90
foot wall is a mystery.
One of the guards was terribly
beaten by the convicts.
1t was reported that he was in q
critical condition. The escape was not
discovered until nearly an hour after
the five men had left the prison.
Warden Frost. of Sing Sing, was
told by someone living near the New
York Central tracks, that several sus-
piciouS looking men had been seer
south of the prison. The wardeT
made an investigation and found the
two guards bound in the chapel He
then sent out twenty-five armed
guards to hunt for the fugitives.
William Green, OF Ossining, sent Il
Sing Sing for five years for highway
robbery; Walter Benican, Rober
Boylan, Joseph White and Israe
Blum are the escaped prisoners.
The crowded condition Of Sing Sin,
is held wholly responsible for tn,
daring escape. There are more thar
1000 prisoners in Sing Sing, which
is capable of properly housing onl.

-rhe College, the Girl and the Par

~ emit"
Some general principles are formu-
lated by Marion Talbot, Dean of Wo-
men at Chicago University, to secure
cooperation for a better understand
ing between the three factors in edu-
cation for women. In the first place,
il is the duty of the college to
strengthen, not to destroy or even to
weaken, the family tie. Every pos
Sible social and educational influence
should be called upon to develop the
lasting virtues of the family relation,
although many of its attributes, once
priced, now outworn and useless, are
rapidly disappearing. In the second
place, the natural and rational me-
thod of maintaining the interest of the
parent is TO have the child encouraged
or perhaps compelled to formulate
some acceptable reason for taking a
college course and incidentally to plan
for her future life. In most cases the
parent will accompany the child step
by step in sympathy and understand
ing, and, instead of having a wide and
almost impossible gulf between them
as too often happens when the college
course is finished, both parents and
child will then find that although
their activities may take different
forms, they remain close together in
spirit and mutual understanding. The
daughter will find herself a truly es
sential factor in the home life and
on the other hand, the parents will
rejoice that in spite of their waninl
powers they can still be vitality il
touch with interests that appeal I,
them.--From The North American

Localized Primary.
Richmond,

Whatever the result of the primary
investigation it has at least shown
that legalized primary is what the
State should have.
In this State where a nomination
is equivalent to an election all of the
safeguards of an election should be
thrown around the primary.
1t has been shown that even where
no fraud was proved or possibly in
tended there were Irregularities grow
ing out of the loosely conducted pri-
mary that would not be possible in a
general election.
If the investigation shall result in
the providing for legalized primaries
1t will not have been in vain.-Nor-

IN CITY OF LYNCHBURG

LYNCHBURG. = Special. - Lynch
burg has been peculiarly fortunate with
regard to fire losses during the year
1910, for the department had only 79
alarms during the first nine months OF
the year, and in only two of the fires
were losses as much as $1,000 sustained.
The worst fire of the year was on jan
nary LIST, when the McWane Pipe Com
pany'S Office and warehouse was burned.
This loss was adjusted at $3O,947. The
other larger fire was the plant of the
Lynchburg Steam Bakery, which sus-
tanned loss of 5000 on May 23d. All
OF the other alarms were for trifiing
Ares, or which were kept from being
serious by the department.

NIinIster Gage Reports.


WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct. T.
United States Minister Gage. at Lis
bon, Portugal. In a message to the
state Department. dated Thursday, 8
p NJ, states that the city was then
unusually quiet. the people being ap-
prehensive but orderly.
He further reports that the pro-
vtsional government is in control OF
the foreign office and OF all the other
national offices. The military COM
mander OF Lisbon has ordered all
merchants dealing in the necessities
OF life to open their places OF busi-
ness He adds that as nearly all COM
muntcation is cut OF. there was no
reliable Information from the north
or from the interior.
Mr.. Turner. the United States
Charge D'Afaires at Madrid, report
ed that the following official news
was received from Lisbon yesterday
morning by the Spanish Minister of
Foreign Affairs:
The revolution commenced on
Tuesday morning at half past /
o'clock. by a warship in the harbor
firing twenty-one guns and hosting
the Republican flag. All the war
ships except one Immediately follow
ed suit. Landing parties were sent
ashore, who attacked an infantry bar
racks.
These troops, instead of resisting
killed their colonel and. led by their
noncommissioned officers, joined the
insurgents, who then attacked the
marine barracks near the Necessi-
dadeS Royal Palace. These surren-
dered without resistance, and the in
surgents invaded the city. where they
were met by the municipal guard,
who, il is reported, momentarily re-
pulsed them. The King is reported to
be in safety. but his hiding place is
unknown.

car which ran down and killed
). II. Britain, an inmate OF the
soldiers Home. on the Boule-
ward Tuesday night. The state
nent that the police had the num-
Der OF the car is incorrect. Had
this been so an arrest would have
been made before this time.
The funeral services of S. 3. Brit
tain, an inmate of the Soldiers Home
who died Thursday morning from the
effects of the injuries received last
Tuesday night from an automobiIe
driven by unknown parties, were
held yesterday afternoon at 4 O'Clock
at the Soldiers Home chapel. The
burial was in the soldiers section al
Hollywood.
The police of the city and county
are working energetically to locate
those responsible for the accident
but without success up to noon to-
day.
Mr.. Britain was left on the veranda
of the hospital of the home late Tues
day night by party of men in an
automobile who stated that thew had
round the man by the roadside near
the intersection of Broad Street and
the boulevard. They stated that ne
mad been struck by another car. and
that seeing his gray uniform they had
brought him to the Soldiers Home.
While the attendants were seeking as
sistance within the hospital the au-
toists left, refraining from leaving
their names. So far they have not
seen lit TO reveal their. identity.
coroner Taylor made an investfra-
uoh yesterday. \ statement was Sc
cured from Mr.. Britain during his few
moments or consciousness before death
out from II nothing calculated to shed
any light on the identity of the occu-
pants OF the automobile by which he
was struck could be gained. He stated
merely that he was returning home
from the Fair Grounds on foot and
alone. and that near the intersection of
Broad Street and the Boulevard he was
thSt he was not in the middle OF the
road. but TO one side in the ditch. and
that the car was out of the beaten
track.
Coroner Taylor is frankly Suspicious.
Ihat the men who brought him to the
hospital were unwilling to have their
names known and left as hurriedIv as
possible would seem to preclude the
soSsiSiityl OF the truth OF their story
10 the emdct that the man was struck
by another car and picked up by them.
though II tmay be that the Other car
was OCCUPIED by friends OF theirs whom
they wIslseddtte- shield.
