TAzEWELL VOTES

DEMOCRATS AND PROGRESSIVE.s
DEFEAT OLD LINE REPUBLI-
CANS ON IMPROVEMENT
QUESTION.

TAZEWELI. VA. April Ts.-Semi-
official returns indicate that Tazewell
county yesterday voted by majority
of at least 500 for a bond issue to
expend S62b,oQ0 upon public high
ways. The result demonstrates that
tho people are heartily In favor of the
Issue. although 1t was expected the
vote would be much closer. This
means that Tazewell county Will have
Some OF the best highways In the
State.
The election was hotly contested by
anti bond issue people, who repre-
sented the old standpat Republican
party of the county. They were I'M
able to line up their voters, and the
impression prevails here that the cleo
ton means the overthrow OF the old
party III the county. The progressive
Republicans and Democrats lined up
almost solidly for the bond issue.

After considering the findings OF the
court-martial In the case OF Captain
Austin NJ Knight, charged with neg
ligence in connection with the sink
ing of the monitor Puritan In Hamp-
ton Roads last November, for nearly
a month. Secretary Meyer Tuesday

further consideration. 1t is known
that knight was acquitted by the
court OF which Rear Admiral Evans
was the president.
knight Is due TO be promoted to the
rank Of rear admiral, but his advance

SHALL SCOTS
| ALLEY Be CLOSED?

The Supreme Court OF Appeals OF
Virginia kas consented to decide the
question of whether the alley in rear
OF the residence of Fred w. Scott in
West Franklin Street shall be open or
closed.
Scott wants the alley closed because
he owns pre- perty in rear OF the lot on
which his home stands and the clos
ing would put the property in one
piece. At present the alley separates
hts two lots.
The Common Council and Board of
Aldermen passed an ordinance closing
the alley for thirty years and Mayer
Richa rdeon vetoed the measure. Then
the ordinance was paused over the
vc.o. The trouble wss carried to the
a sncery court and later was appealed
to the Supreme Court.
Until the highest tribunal in the
State decides the question the alley
will be open. The decision OF the SUI
prene Court probably will not be
given until the first Of next year.
