PEANUT VENDORS UPSET BY
LAW TO STOP NIGHT SELLING
Shrek Wildly for Lawyer to Interpret House
Bill No. 220, Who i inds That 1t Means
Just w hat 1t Saws

Mon and women who operate fruit
shops and stands sent up one wild
shrlek yesterday when they got word
from leader that House bill No. 220.
which Is happy on the way, distinctly
provides that no peanuts shall be sold
IN the State OF Virginia after dark.
The report started down In Cary
street. and all day long the telephones
rang and the retail shops were up in
the air. and for time tho peanut
market was strictly on tho blink.
Roasted or raw. 1t was all the same.
Men who have made a fortune on no
greater capital than u peanut rooster
on Il street corner could not UNDER
stand the measure. They argued that
the virginia product couldn't make u
man drunk: they had not been advised
OF any late ruling BY DIR. Wiley or
any new tariff law. They simply
Easpcd when II WAS eNpla incd that the
bill would be enacted unless nrst-
rate lobbyist was hired and sent to
the trout. Even the digulticd dealers
who soil seed by wholesale and In
carload lots took 1t up and promptly
branded It as freak legislation.
1t Is doubtful If the average Rich

tho peanut BIN meant But 1t was
hshsd out. and In bold. black tyne II

that you can't sell peanuts after
dark. Nor can you buy them. for the

MAJOR WERNER

Force Is Not Large Enough

EIGHT ON TRAFFIC SQUAD
Police Headquarters and Cell
Rooms Too Small for Work
and Comfort.

Although the force was Increased
twenty-five mon last year, the detail
ing OF eight men as traffic officers and
the daily demands upon others for
special service, make this enlarge
ment OF the department hardly appre-
ciahle. according TO the annual report
of Chief of Police Werner. just trans
mitted to Mayor Richardson. In view
of this condition, Major Werner rec
omncnds that further increase of
twenty-five men be made. while the
time may mot now be opportunc to ask
the Council for this. that body should
be made aware of the fact that the
present force is Inadequate to properly
patrol this rapidly growing city" the
report states.
Among other things the report urges
that steps be taken to enlarge Police
Headquarters, which are now not sufii-
ciently commodious 10 accommodate
constantly increasing needs
Another Patrol Needed.
Major Werner also wants the cell
rooms OF the First and Second District
station houses enlarged. and Is
anxious that the Council make APP
propriations for the purchase of an
automobile patrol for the First Dis
trict and for the purchase and install
lation of a Bertillon outfit for pho
tographinS prisoners Two motor
cycles are also needed for the proper
enforcement of the laws governing
automobiles and motorcycles and the
apprehension of those exceeding the
speed limit.
The department during the year
made 10,497 arrests, 6,2s9 persons were
reported for violations of ordinances
and 4,797 miscellaneous reports con-
corning matters coming under police
supervision were made.
During the year the force was gen
orally active, and Major Werner stated
that he was of the opinion that the
members had intelliEently and en-
cienuy discharged the numerous duties
devolvinG upon them
The commissioners have insisted
upon a strict observance of the rules
and regulations of the department, and
where officers committed grove
breaches of discipline they have heen
summarily dealt with. Four were dis
missed from the force during the
