Man Arrested for Lettering IN
Broad Street Dismissed for
Lack of Evidence.

Following the dismissal Of T. Il.
Harris yesterday morning In I"ice
Cour, from charge of refusing 70

Chief of Police Werner expressed the
opinion that it was apparently use
less to attempt to enforce this oful-
nance.
Major Werner. Mayor Ainslie ana
CITY Attorney Pollard We're in court
when Harris's case vas called. Harris
was arrested two weeks ago by Pa
trolman Gibson in Broad street near

to disperse a crowd which had gath
cred Harris was standing IN the
street it was said writing memor-
andura when Gibson told him to move.
He did not obey, and with the Worus
.pamn it, Ill make you move, the
efticer put him under arrest. Gibson
admitted using this language
CITY Attorney Pollard told the court
that under the city ordnance 'he'"
was no evidence to convict Harris as
he was not lettering. Justice tTu'ch-
field then dismissed the case
For the purpose OF finding out JUST
who shall be arrested for refusing to
move. Masor AinsNe announced the
intention of having the precinct cap
tains. Justice Crutchtield and the CITY
Attorney at the next meeting of the
Board of Police Commissioners. IL
is expected that at this time some
thing definite will be arrived at as 10
wna, constitutes Il violation OF the
move-on law and when an ofhcer shaii
make an arrest and instructions III
accordance with il viii! be given TO
the men.
Lately the police have had consider
able difficulty in securing convictions
in these cases and Major Werner Is
anxious to fnS out what the law

ALL REPUBLICANS
HAD RIGHT T0v0TE
Party Lines Wiped Out in Fourth
by Primary Law-May Not
Be Recount.

Apparently there was no FeStlSe Oh
law 20 prevent the participate IN Of Re-
publican voters in the Fourth District
primary election last Satufaa!
Charges have been made by frienos o.
both candidates that Republicans Voteo
for their opponent, and it has been
said there will be evidence to this
effect in the event there is contest.
The Byrd primary law will admit to
the ballot any Republican in the dis
ttict. 1t provides as the qualification
for voting the foil owing;
No person shall be permitted 10
vote for the candidates OF any party
unless in the last next preceding gen
eral election he voted for the p:eslden-
tial electors nominated by such party
or for the nominee for the House d
Representatives of such party, or the
nominee of such party for Governor
or the nominee of such party for the
House Of Delegates: provided. further'
that if he did Il u vote at such gem
| eral election. then upon his deciara-
| ton that he will support at the ensu-
| ing election the nominee of the party
! at whose primary he wishes to vote,
! he shall be allowed to vote"
Qualt6ea Them All.
The last next preceding general
election" was that for members of the
General Assembly last November. Not
a single Republican candidate in any
county in the f ourth District appeared
for the House of Delegates at that
time and many Republicans, going to
the polls cast their votes Cor the
Democratic nominee All such could
last Saturday have been allowed to
vote under the law if they pledged
themselves 10 vote for the nominee
If the primary. They would have no
objection to this. since their party
makes no nomination in the Fourth
nowadays.
Such Republicans as did not vote
last November have only to say SO and
TO promise to vote for the nominee.
The law Is plain The new primary
der such conditions as exist in the
Fourth District
Lawyers. commenting on the situa-
They say that a recount cannot be had
without contest. There is no pro-
vision in law for recount they say.
The officers Of election are now functus
officio; their work Is done. To have
the ballots gone over again, some one
must bring a contest and allege that
the votes were not correctly counted
Then the contestee Will have notice and
prepare his defense
All contests must be had before the
