Colonial Management Appeals
From $500 Verdict for
Damages.

Before the wv w. v. Company
(Inc.)" pays over the sum of $500 to
George II. Black. it will have another
chance before the Supreme Court OF
Appeals. which yesterday granted a
writ of error. The case arises from
the election OF Black from the Colonial
Theatre, OF this city, and comes up
from the Circuit Court of Richmond.
Black. in his bill of complaint, set
forth that sundry things We're done
to him at the Colonial. He alleges that
he bought a ticket of admission, for
which he paid In coin of the republic;
that after he had entered, without
cause or offense on his part. he was
forcibly elected therefrom. Hands
were laid on him. he says, and he was
squeezed and pulled In getting him
out. For all of which things he was
injured in his good name and fame
and credit, subjected to humiliation
and disgrace to the value OF $4,000.
At the trial the jury gave damages
of $1,000, from which the company ap-
peals. In its answer the w. w. V.
Company denied that 1t had elected
him without due cause, said cause be-
ing alleged disorderly conduct.
The principal argument for q re-
versal is that Black sought to set up
claims of tort and breach of contract
in the same action.

Contest of B. M. Bonifant
Thrown Out by Joint
Committees.

BY unanimous vote, the Third and
Fourth Congressional District Demo-
cratic Committees. at meeting held
last night at Murphy's Hotel. decided
the contest brought over the House
seat from the district composed of
Chesterfield and Powhatan counties in
favor OF the contestee, w. S. Ivey. In
order to cover all the points raised.
the committee also confirmed the nom
inatlon of Captain w. w. Baker as tho
direct representative from Chester
held.
No one appeared to represent either
side to the controversy. 3. NJ Boni-
FAINT, the contestant. who was defeated
by Mr.. Ivey in the September primary.
submitted his case on his written
claims, stating that he had no more
money to eXpend in the matter.
L. l.. c. Scott. OF Hanover. was elect
cd chairman of the Joint committees,
and Robert Gillian. of Petersburg. sec
Rotary. Tho fact that Chesterfield
county is in the Third District and
Powhatan III the Fourth made 1t neces-
sary for both committees to act, under
the ruling of the state Committee.
Mr.. Bonifant introduced some in
Senious arguments. One was that the
Legislature has laid out separate dis
trlcts for representation in the Gen
eral Assembly ans has provided that
Chesterfield shall elect one delegate
and that Chesterfield and Powhatan
shall elect one delegate. Inasmuch as
there are no metes and bounds, say
Mr.. Bonifant, the voters OF Chcsterneld
should not be allowed to vote for can
didates for two seats--that IL at the
primary q citizen voted FOR Captain w.
w. Baker. he should not be permitted
also to vote for Mr.. Ivey nor Mr.. Bonl-
FAINT. Otherwise. he said. voter in
Chesterfield would WELD greater po-
litical power than one in Powhatan
Following out this line OF reasoning,
Mr.. Bonifant argued that II Captain
the House prior to the primary, It
should be assumed that every Demo-
crat In Chesterfield had voted for him.
and therefore that the Powhatan vote
alone should be counted on the foterial
race. Or, IL Captain Baker was de-
clared the nominee after the primary.
Mr.. Ivey should have the direct seat
and Mr.. Bonifant the joint seat.
After studying this proposition from
numerous angles. and endeavor!ng to
digest 1t, the committee passed It up
and solved the problem by adopting a
motion OF Clyde w. Saunders to de-
clare w. W. Baker and w. s. Ivey the
nominees. Then the committee went
to supper.
