SHOWCASE MATTER
C0MESUP TONIGHT.
Street Committee Has Recon-
mended Removal of All
Distractions.
MERCHANTS WILL FIGHT 1T
Common Council to Hold Its
Last Regular
Meeting.
MERCHANTS WILL FIGHT IT

Among various matters to be pre-
rented to the Common Council at its
final regular meeting tonight none
will command more general attention
nor bring to the chamber O more Wig
orous lobby than will the ordinance
which has the effect of requiring the
removal of all showcases on Main and
Broad Streets in the business sections
The measure has been twice recon-
mended by the Committee on Streets.
but from all the indications the mer-
chants are unanimous in their opposl-
ton and will continue the fight
The ordinance is the outgrowth OF a
general agitation for the Improvement
of Broad Street AS a result of that
agitation one deep sewer has been con.
structed and another planned for its
thorough drainage; contracts have been
awarded for lighting system on UNI
foreground connections, which will
make of 1t great white way, land the
Street Committee and Engineers De-
partment are securing information as
to top dressing" or smooth paving the
thoroughfare as soon as all the under
ground work is completed.
Would Widen Sidewalks.
Then came the proposition to widen
the sidewalks and so provide room for
larger crowds on this great business
thoroughfare. The answer of the
Street Committee was this ordinance
that the sidewalks were of sufficient
width on Broad Street and that 1t was
impracticable to widen them on Main
Street. but that in both cases all OBJ
structions of whatever character should
be moved back TO the property line.
1t is admitted that such removal OF
obstructing signs and showcases would
greatly improve and beautify .he thor
oughfares. adding to their symmetry
and neat appearance. and would in
each instance add to the facility for
handling large crowds. The merchants.
however. assert that the projecting
showcases afford one of their best
means of displaying goods. and that II
required to move back TO the property
line they would lose sales 10 smaller
shops located on side streets, where the
prohibition would not apply and where
rents are not as high as on the main
business thorouehfares. AS this is the
last regular meeting of the present
Council, the merchants will win their
point If they can secure the tabIing of
the ordinance or it's reference 10 some
other committee.
Many other matters of Importance are
to come before the Council tonight.

WANT MAN FROM
7 HIS CIRCUIT
Fourth Not Represented on su-
prene Bench for Half
Century.

Much local interest is being taken
in the resolution unanimously passed
last week by the Maryland and Vir-
ginia Bar Associations at their joint
session at Hot Springs. requesting
President Taft to consider some law
one of the existing vacancies on the
Supreme Court of the United States.
1t has been forty-siX years since this
circuit has been represented in tina.
court, the last representative having
been Chief Justice Roger B. fancy, of
Maryland, who left the bench in 1854,
after conspicuous service of twenty
eight years. The circuit is composed
of Virginia, Maryland. South Carolina,
North Carolina and West Virginia.
Every other circuit has been repre-
scented on the Supreme Court since the
Fourth Circuit had its last appoint
ment, and 1t seems only fair to the
lawyers OF this circuit that one of
the existing vacancies should be filled
by the selection of a justice from its
territory. In recent years some cir
cults have had two men on the Su.
preme bench at the same time, depart
ing from all precedent in such mat
tiers.
Virginia's Last Member.
Nirginia's last member of the court
was Peter V. Daniel, of Stafford. who
served from 1871 until 1860 The bar
OF the Old Dominion feels that one of
it's number would make an able and
suitable appointee for one of the va
cancies.
Many names have been suggested,
including such men ae Judge James
Keith of the Court of Appeals; r.
Walton Moore. of Fairfax, former
president of the Virginia Bar Asso-
citation; former Governor A. j. Monta-
que, and Judge A. P. Phlegar. of Bris-
toll Others. more or less prominent,
have been mentioned President Taft
met many prominent members OF the
Virginia Bar Association in 1908 at
the meeting Of that body at Hot
Springs. and doubtless would readily
recall many of them.
No formal recommendations have
yet been made by any of the Virginia
local bar associations.

But the request for Rausch's appre-

rather Indifferent as to his fate. and

MANAGERS OPPOSE
.EARLYCL0S|NG[AW
Moving Picture People Say They
Had No Opportunity to
Be Heard.

According to w. r. Kirby. manager
OF tn Bijou Theatre, the ordinance rec
commended to the Council by the Com
mlttee on Ordinance, Charter and Re-
form, requiring motion picture thea
tres to close at II o'clock. is an unnec-
essary piece Of special legislation. Mr.,
Kirby said that he did not have an op-
portunity to appear before the COM
mittee and be heard, nor was any other
theatrical manager invited to express
his views.
The managers of the motion picture
and vaudeville houses are OF the opin
ion that 1t Is an unnecessary and un-
just law. They take the position that
because they show two pictures and
put on three vaudeville acts is no rea-
son why they should be Disseminated
against. Mr.. Kirby said:
while / have no idea what lnforma-
ton was before the committee, / feel
sure that the matter was not thorough
ly Investigated. 1t Is true that re-
quiring US to close at II o'clock does
not at this time work hardship on
us, as we usually close before that
hosr. yet 1t cer1sinly does not seem
rlgAl to require y vaudeville and mo-,
ton picture house to close at GER.
tain hour, when other theatres and
places of amusement are allowed to
conduct their performances as late as
they please. Saloons are not required
to close until midnight. | hope that
the Council will consider the matter
more thoroughly before adopting this
ordinance"
The measure comes UP tonight be
fore the Common Council.
