DALTON COMPANY
DENIED INJUNCTION
CASE INVOLVING STATES RIGHTS
DECIDED BY u. q. CIRCUIT
COURT.
HAS REMEDY IN STATE
JUDGE PRITCHARD DECLARES FED
ERAL TRIBUNAL Will. NOT
TAKE JURISDICTION WHEN
LAWS ARE ADEQUATE.

Without expressing any opinion as
to the liability of the complainant
company under the statutes of the
Commonwealth of Virginia. Judge
Jeter c. Fritchard, in the United
States Circuit court, yesterday hand
ed down an opinion refusing the in
junction prayed by the Dalton Add
ing Machine company against the
State.
!, The case, involving to some extent
the important question OF States
rights. has created no little interest
and the opinion of the federal court
was awaited with some eagerness.
The complainant, endeavoring to
evade the payment of the license tax
imposed upon foreign corporations by
the State corporation commission,
sought relief at the hands of the fed
eral court by praying an injunction
restraining the corporation commits
sion from imposing the tax. on the
ground that 1t Is engaged solely in in
terstate business and not liable to Ii
cense fee imposed on foreign corpora
lions which seek to do business in the
State.
Referred to State Court.
In his opinion Judge Pritchard
states very plainly that ample means
are afforded in the State statutes by
which the question of the liability of
the complainant may be determined
by competent tribunal, and there
fore the federal tribunal cannot see
its way clear to take cogslizance of ii.
The case was entitled the Dalton
Adding Machine company VS.. the
State corporation commission of the
Commonwealth of Virginia, and the
motion for an interlocutory injunc-
ton was recently argued before Cir
cult Judge Pritchard and District
Judges Waddill and Rose at Rich

complainants and Attorney General

Notwithstanding the fact that the

his company would accept any route
designated by the street committee
for the extension of lines in the East
End, the committee last night. con-
tinued the bearing until Friday after

The street committee had been call
ed to receive a report from the sub
committee delegated to look into the
question of considering the PROPOSE
ton of extending the line. All citi-
zens of the East End wish an ex-
tension, but they are divided as to the
route.
Many wish route termed the ra-
vine" others want the Williamsburg
avenue route, and still others desire
the Louisiana street route.
TIP to last night the company had
determined to go over no route but
the Louisiana street extension. But
counsel for the company, Samuel l.
Kelly. said that any of the three
routes would be acceptable, although
the Louisiana street one would be
more desirable, because it reached

ESTIMATES OF WEALTH
ARE At WIDE VARIANCE

NEW YORK. March ST.
Widely differing estimates are
made OF the size OF the fortune
of the late j. Pierpont Morgan.
4 prominent director i'm lead
ing banking institution i'm this
city says:
..The firm of j. r. Morgan a
Company, at my estimate. prob
ably amassed II fortune OF $780,
10000 i'm the past twenty years,
of which Mr.. Morgan's individ-
ual share was probably s75,00O,-
0O0."
1t Is recalled that when Mr..
Morgan's father died In 1890, a
fortune of $i7, 100000 was left,
to be divided among thrc heirs.
lit must be, remembered, con-
timed this informant, ssthat the
enterprises OF Mr.. Morgan's firm
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1913-04-01

were not uniformly profitable i'm
their outcome. There were losses
mingled with great gains, but his
largest gain no doubt was made
in the financing OF the United
States Steel corporation"
Estimates of the wealth of Mr..
Morgan were made in Wall Street
today purely as matter OF con-
lecture. The range of the csti-
mates was between 500, 00O, 900
and $3.50, 600, 600.
In all the estimates, however.
there was one view held with
practical unanimity by men who
have followed Wall Street af-
fairs closely. This was that MIR.
Morgan was far less wealthy than
was popularity supposed. and was
considerably short Of being the
richest man In the country.

OU|N CANDIDATE
TO SUCCEED LIGON
Jackson Interested in Ap-
pOintment of United
States Marshal

Jackson, Miss, October 27.-(Special)
There is a good deal of speculation here
as to who will succeed w. o. Ligon as
United States marshal of the southern
district of Mississippi. AS heretofore
stated Mr.. Ligons resignation was de-
manded by the Attorney General of the
United States, and it was sent in Satur-
lay, but with the proviso that 1t was to
take effect the last day of the year. That
may or may not be permitted by the
authorities at Washington
It'is understood here that Dick Quin,
sheriff Pike county. is slated for the
place. and he has a host of friends in
Jackson who would like the best in the
world to see him land the prize, the sal
ary being s250O per year. Mr.. Quin is
dyed-in- the-wool Vardamanite and it
is supposed is being backed at Washing
ton by Senator Vardaman. But then the
selection of the marshal may be left to
Senator Williams

Cold Weather Acts as Slim
ulant-Snapper Is
Scarce

Merchants yesterday reported very
good business and excellent supplies.
The cold weather in the latter part of
the day acted as a stimulant to the
demand although, in the morning hours
the dismal weather had a bad effect.
Merchants say that the seasonable
weather will have the effect of strength
ening the demand and there is a decided
note of optimism on Norris avenue.
1t Is said that there is scarcity of
fish. especially in snapper. The price
on snapper advanced points yester-
day and it is said that no shipments
are In sight for the first part of the
week. oysters are also reported scarce,
but no apprehension is felt over the
situation. The price on the bivales has

No change in poultry was registered

COTTON MARKET
DULL AND NARROW
Weather News Decidedly
Bad-Frost and Ice
in the Belt

New Orleans, October 27-The cotton
market was dun and narrow today.
Weather news failed to have any effect
on the trading and weather news was
decidedly bad. The trade, as whole,
took the stand that the crop has been
damaged about as badly as 1t can be
weather is not as important as it was.
The belt sent in reports of much rain
and of unusually low temperatures for
this time of the year Frost, killing
frost, and even ice, were reported over
many important portions of the cotton
producing region.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of to points on the bad
weather news and in the early trading
the advance was increased to to 8
points. This was the high of the day.
The bears claimed that the market was
acting tired and sold a moderate amount
of short cotton, which depressed prices
somewhat Around noon the market was
at its lowest. to points under Sat
~urday's close. In the afternoon a
stea dier tone prevailed and prices worked
over Saturdays final quotations again.
The close was steady. one point up to
two points down, compared with Sat
urday's close.
Tomorrow is a legal holiday in this
market and this had something to do
with the inactivity. The trade is gem
orally of the opinion that the leading
features in the present situation have
been discounted and that 1t will take
fresh development of importance to
move prices either way. 1t was much
of a waiting market today.
