FOR TUNES MADE IN
VIRGINIA APPLES
Choice Fruit Bringing Top Prices
for Those Who Took Koiner's
Advice.

Predictions made last August by
Commissioner of Agriculture George W.
K DINER as to the apple market during
the present winter are being fulfilled.
Good apples are bringing from s. TO Sc
barrel in Richmond, and those far
mers who sold at $3.50 in August are
doubtless bewailing the fact
Buyers who seemed determined to
force down the price for purposes of
huge profits, visited the orchard coun-
try in the Valley of Virginia and made
offers of 81 to So a barrel, saying
that the market would be very low.
Thereupon Mr.. Koiner got busy and
looked up the United States govern
ment's crop ratings. He noted that
nearly everywhere the crop was but a
fraction OF the normal, and he advised
the farmers through The Times-Dis-
patch to either secure good prices or
hold.
To-day those farmers who took Mr..
Koiner's advice are in pocket, a Rich
mond commission man made a price of
very ordinary winesaps yesterday of S.

NO B0NF|RES FOR
BARTON HEIGHTS
New Mayor Issues Proclamation
Forbidding Accepted Type
of Celebration.

w. L. Ragland, elected on Wednes-
day night as Mayor of Barton Heights.
issued his first public proclamation
yesterday, forbldding the building of
bonires and the explosion of fireworks
or dangerous caps within the corporate
limits of the township during the holi-
day season. The new Mayors order
is meeting with much opposition from
the younger element, which has boast
ed of the number of barrels II had
stored away for the Christmas BON
fires and it remains to be seen
whether the constabulary of Henrico
county will rally to support the or
der of the Mayor or not. The police
force of the town of Barton Heights
would probably be inadequate un-
aided to cope with the small boys of
that thriving and prolific suburb.
Mayor Ragland was elected by the
Town Council on Wednesday night TO
succeed DR. r. W. Miller. resigned.
He was chairman of the Water Com
mittee, and assumed his new duties
yesterday, relieving A w. Martcnstein.
who has been acting Mayor since the
resignation of DR.. Miller.
The new Mayors proclamation has
been duly published to the world for
bidding the type of celebration which
the boys had anticipated.
The general use of wooden construc-
ton in the building of the town. the
danger OF confiagration. and the made
quate fire protection. are reasons given
for the Mayors order.

b. UES WILL AID
MANLY DEFENSE
Companies B and c Contribute
to Fund for Texas
Soldier.

Responding to the appeal made to
the National Guard throughout the
country, Companies B and c, of the
Richmond Light Infantry Blues, have
contributed from their personal funds
to what has come to be known as the
Sergeant Manly Fund" The purpose
is to prosecute the appeal of Texas
volunteer soldier who has been SEN
fenced to ninety-nine years in the PEN
itentIary for killing a citizen while
on duty.
On the occasion of President Taft's
visit to the State Fair at Dallas, eX-
traordinary precautions We're taken to
insure his safety, inasmuch as hot
bed of anarchists had recently been
discovered In the city. The military
was on duty, and Sergeant j. D. Manly.
of Company r, Third Texas Regiment,
was placed at a certain point with In
structions to permit no one to pass a
prescribed zone.
A man named Louis Reichenstein
made an effort to cross. Sergeant
Manly stopped him. informing him of
his orders Reichenstein is said to
have cursed and abused the soldier,
asserting that he was free-b born cit
izen, and would go where he pleased.
An attempt was then made, 1t is said,
to rush across the line, when Sergeant
Manly presented his bayonet at the
charge and the death of Reichenstein
resulted.
The man has been in jail ever since
and has been denied bail AT the trial
he was sentenced to life term. SO
far the expenses Of his defense have
been borne by the officers of Dallas, but
the militiamen throughout the coun-
try are being asked to take a hand.

who promptly proved an alibi.
