REVERSES WADD|LL
IN TUG-DOAT CASE
Circuit Court of Appeals Renders
Decision in John Twohy
Matter,

NORFOLK, VA. Aug. S.-The
United States Circuit Court Of Appeals
has reversed the decision of Judge
Edmund Waddill. Jr., OF the district
and circuit courts. in confirming the
sale by the marshal OF the steam tug
John Twohy. Jr., for Sill, 000 to salts
fy claim OF the government for the
destruction OF the Thimble Shoals
lighthouse last January.
The case went TO the Court of APP
peals some time ago. The style of 1t
is the Lambert's Point Towboat Com
pany, appellant. against the United
States of America. William w. Moss
and James w. Moss, trading as Moss
and Moss, appellees Robert M.
Hughes appeared as counsel for the
APPELLANT. while Judge L. L. Lewis.
United States district attorney, rep
resented the government. Harry II.
Walcott was heard on a brief for
Moss and Moss.
The appellant contended that the
tug John Twohy Jr., belonged to
them. There were three sales by the
United States marshal to satisfy, in
part, the claim of the government for
damages in the sum OF $50, 900. At the
first sale the tug was knocked down
at $4,000 to the Lambert's Point
Towboat Company.
Upon motion of District Attorney
Lewis the court refused to confirm the
sale. The next bid was $1,000. This
too was rejected by the court. Il is
now contended that the third and last
sale was private and that the tug was
purchased by Moss and Moss for Sill
600.
Judge Waddill confirmed the sale,
and 1t was from this decision that an
appeal was taken. The tugboat Is
now said to be in the hands of third
party, in other waters.

To the Democratic Voters Of the Third
Congressional District:

Tomorrow the Democrats Of the
Third Congressional District hold
primary to select their nominee for
Congress. | appeal to them as a
Democrat who stands squarely on the
Democratic platform for reduction
of the tariff. believe the high pro-
tective tariff is the chief cause Of the
high cost of living, and is the only
cause that can be corrected by legisla-
ton. My convictions on this subject
are SO strong that feel that may, as
your representative, have some inAu-
ence in the great struggle which is now
going on over the whole country for
tariff reform.
My appeal is to all Democratic
voters and not to any part thereof
Very respectfully,
