In regard to the recent repal of the or
dinance granting 10 years exemption from
taxes of new Industries by the city COM
mission. j. l.. Yancey, chairman of the
Industrial committee of the Chamber of
Commerce, moved that a committee be
named to call upon the city commits
sioners in the near future to ask that the
ordinance be restored. 1t was pointed out
by Mr.. Yancey that it would not be fair
to those industries already here, who had
come in under this provision. TO remove
the exemption ordinance, and also that it
would take away a great talking point
from the Chamber of Commerce in Sc
curing new Industries. Sydney j. Bowie
was chairman of the committee which
was instrumental in the passage of this
ordinance. and he will be chairman of the
committee to call on the commissioners to
ask that it be replaced on the statutes of
the city
A letter was read from the United States
Chamber of Commerce asking for ref
erendum vote of the membership of the
| local body on the matter of establishing
| a bureau of foreign and domestic COM
merce. The directors took action, allow
| ing the matter to be referred to the com
mittee on foreign trade, which is to be
| named by Mr.. Harding within the next
| few days. If that committee considers
| it wise a referendum vote of the entire
membership will be taken.
Four new members were added to the
| Chamber of Commerce yesterday when
| the directors elected the following: W. I
| Lathm. Victor II. Smith, C. l.. Stapleton
| and Abe Kaufman. The directors have
had several meetings this year, and a

RICHARDSON NOT
EXPECTED TOLWE
Condition Very Grave Fol
lowing Shooting Yester-
day Morning

The condition of A. W. Richardson, a
telegraph operator for the Southern Rail-
way company, who was accidentally shot
in the early hours of yesterday morning
by e. NJ. Deale of 511 North Twenty
first street, was considered very low at ST.
Nincents hospital last night. 1t was
stated that there was very little hope of
recovery for the wounded man. His i'm
mediate relatives are at his bedside.
The shooting of Richardson is consid-
cred somewhat of a mystery. The police
are unable to understand Richardson $
statement before he became unconscious,
in which he explained that he was a
poor man and for the past two years had
been doing private detective work as a
side line. He said:
Il was locating for--but / must pro-
tect the name-tell Deale 1 want to see
him before die. | must protect" And
this was as intelligible a statement as
could be gathered from the many RAM
bling remarks dropped by Richardson to
the police in the hour that he was con-
scious after being shot.
Richardson is we'll known, having been
a telegraph operator for the Southern
railway for the past Seven years, and
having an excellent reputation. He is
