denial Of any knowledge of payment
of money to bride councilmen, is crit
icised.
The validity of the contracts un-
der which six favored banks now hold
the city's money is attacked.
Important in that it shows how the
banks were induced to put up so large
an amount of money for the boddle
fund, is the recommendation that six
per cent be collected on the city de-
positS from these banks from and
after this date The city depository
banks are now paying two per cent
on city deposits and it is alleged that
the agreement was that the council
men were to get the difference for re-
ducing the percentage.
The presentment says:
when an ordinance has been pass
ed by the councils Of the city of Pitts
burg by means of bribery, which was
participated in by more than 80 per
cent Of the then members of coun-
ellis, when officers of the six banks,
or persons for their benefit, paid this
bride, We do not believe such a con-
tract should be held valid.
When it is fact that other banks
Of the city Of Pittsburg offered high
er rate of interest, can it be true that
these particular six banks should reap
arge returns from the city of Pitts
burg, which now result to them and
may result to them because of this
wholesale BRIBERY and corruption?

EXPECT NEW PRIMARY
IN SECOND DISTRICT
Intense Interest in Outcome
Of Maynard Young Contro-
verSy in Meeting Today,

NORFOLK, VA. Sept. 26.-On the
eve Of the assembling of the commit
mittee of nine. named by the Demo
c:atic state central committee to In
yestigate the recent congressional pri-
mary in the Second district, there is
intense interest and much speculation
on the outcome.
William A. Young. the successful
candle date who was nominated on the
face of the returns by a majority of
a.. will file his charges tomorrow In
answer to those flied by Harry l..
Maynard, the defeated congressman
who has represented this district for
ten years.
Young will charge tina; Maynard re-
ceived votes In Portsmouth that were
fraudulently cast: that persons out
of the city on primary day were re.
corded as voting. and that more peo-
pie were voted than actually came up
to the polls. 1t s alleged that dead
men were voted" in Portsmouth.
The most important thing facing
the committee now. IS the question OF
whe' her the investigation can be COM
ple;ed by October 4. when the state
committee is called to receive the re-
port and determine what is to be done
in the matter.
The general opinion prevails thai
new primary will be ordered or that
the precincts showing frsud will be
thrown out and the nomination given
the candidate who has a majority
when this is done. From the present
outlook William A. Young would sun

Magruder Camp Votes to
Extend invitation.
lURNEOlT DOWN THIS YEAR
Grand Camp Committee Agreed Upon

mere this Year; Magruder Camp. Unit
Cd Confederate Veterans, last night
unan mously voted to extend an invita-
ton to the Virginia Grand Camp,
United Confederate Veterans. to hold
its 1911 convention in Newport News
The invitation will be extended TO
the camp at its annual reunion at Nor
folk next month and will be supple
mented by an invitation from the
Chamber of Commerce.
That the invitation Of the local
camp will be accepted seems almost
assured. The committee appointed to
chose meeting place for this year
unanimously selected Newport News
as the place. but the local camp would
not extend an invitation because
many OF the members did not feel
that the camp was able to entertain
the veterans al such short notice.
About 1000 veterans with 5000
daughters and sons of veterans at
tend the state Grand Camp reunion
each year and fully that number win
come here il the Grand Camp accepts
the invitation. The State camp was
enterta ned here first in 1903 aud the
veterans declared then that they had
never had a better time in any city
in the state.
Besides acting upon the matter of
inviting the Grand Camp here, Ma
gruder Camp last night named Captain
j. A. Buxton and w P. Ballard as
delegates to the Grand Camp reunion
at Norfolk on October IS. II and Is.
w. p. Ballard, John w. Hudgils and
Arthur Colonna were selected as dele
gates to the Virginia division of the
Grand Camp meeting.
There was large attendance or
the members of Magruder Camp last
night and the meeting was one of the
most successful and enjoyable the
camp has had in many months.

CHILDREN LEARN TO ACT.
East Side Juveniles Are Educated IN
the Mysteries of Staeecraft.

Down deep on the East Side, New
York there is little theater That
isn't a theater at all. II Is an edu-
cational playhouse. where shine theat-
rical stars just as bright as the ones
along Broadway-the dream Oh all
play people.
These stars during the daytime go
tc school or work behind typewriting
machines. or add up long columns Oh
figures. or watch managing machines
in the laundries all the day long.
Only at night do they come out ana
twinkle merrily to tighten wears
hearts.

When a cast is to be selected the

as many as 500 apply for a place IN

had left it at Jefferson avenue and
Twenty eighth street. Motorman
Lampkins told Sergeant Reynolds
that the men ran out of the corn field
east of the cemetery when his car
was inward bound f.om Hampton and
tried TO jump on the car from the
wrong side. The motorman stopped
the car and the negroes got aboard.
Sergeant Reynolds questioned Con-
Suctor Smith and learned that one of
the men had paid his fare with five
pennies and the other with a nickel
The negroes got about 100 pennies
from the old man and most of the
other money was in small change.
Thinking that the men prObabli

Reynolds left the car at Jefferson

hurried to the Ivy avenue pier. but
he could not find any trace of the
men.

unremunerative and will be an hon
orarv Office pure and simple.
The following special to The Daily
Press last night from Richmond con-
tanned the first news received here
of the abolishing of the State quaran-
tlnue:
RICHMOND, VA, Sept. 26.-"Al
vessels of every class, arriving at the
Tort of Newport News. whether from
q foreign or domestic port. which
have been inspected or admitted into
port by the United States marine hos
pital and public service station al

This order is to be in force on

(Signed)
w LILLIAN l1ODIEo MANN.
Governor.
The governor today. by Issuing the
foregoing order to the quarantine dis
trict of the port of Newport News
abolishes the state quarantine office
al that port and thus partially settles
the long dispute which has existed
over the retaining of double quaran-
tine at Virginia ports. The action Is
taken primarily 70 help in building up
the shipping of Virginia harbors.
| Much sentiment has also been arous'
ed for some time over the double trou-
| lie and expense through which YES
sells, entering the harbors Of Norfolk
ard Newport News. pass by undergo
ing the rigid examinations of United
States and state quarantine officers.
However. the matter is not closed
as yet. While the governor is vested
with authority to govern the quaran'
tine at Newport News, at Norfolk he
has. by law. no say in such matters.
The Elizabeth River Quarar.ne Com
mission there is authority for quaran-
tine affairs The governors action is
here regarded as a move TO force
Norfolk to also abolish the quaran-
tine or else see much of her shipping
go to Newport News harbor.
A few months ago a delegation
from Newport News called on Cover
nor Mann and explained the situation
to him. He took the matter under
consideration, and today's action was
the result.
The resignation Of DIR. Powhatan
Schenck as quarantine officer of Nor
folk, was today received and accept
ec by the executive who will not ap-
point a successor until November LIST.
II. by that time. the commission has
not abolished the quarantine. the gov
ernor VIII appoint an officer.
