Rev. Robert A. Goodwin Dies
After Protracted illness Of
Several Weeks.

After an illness e--tending over .
period Of weeks the Rev. Robert A.

church. died in his no. .e here at 1915
this morning DR.. Goodwin had been
rector OF ST Johns church since 1898,
and by his work among the poor OF
his parish he had gained the affection
of large portion Of the residents
Of that section.
DIR. Goodwin w@-s taxen Ill several
weeks ago, and from the first there
was little hope for his recovery. Every
means of prolonging life was resorted
to in the hope that he would rally.
but they were unavaiEng. and several
days ago all hope was abandoned for
his life.
Since the news Of his illness was
reported TO the congregation. OF
which he was head, hundreds of men
and women whom had received help
from the much beloved pastor. vts-
tied the home, and the news Of his
Death was received with sorrow.
The scope of Or. Coodwfn's work IN
his parish has been comprehensive and
no man within the precincts OF his
field OF work was beyond the bounds
of his charity. 1t has been said that
ha- carried on the work Of the -SalSA--
ton Army among those who needed
consolation and faith. In more prAc-
teal manner than the Salvation Army
itself. His loss will be felt by many
people whose help he was.

JACOB UL[Avf MAY
RUN FOR MAY0RA[TY
Friends Ask Him to Come Out
as Opponent of George Aims
lie at Spring Elections.

L to date Mayor Ainslie has no
opposition, The chances are that he
will have none when the election
comes across.
Mr.. j. f. Dickerson yesterday stated
that he would not oppose Mayor
Ainsiie. and the only possible oppo-
sition Is that OF Councilman Jacob
Umiauf. who has been mentioned as
"a candidate by his friends.
Mr. Umlauf yesterday would not
say that he would or would not an
nounce himself as candidate for the
mayoralty.
MIR. Jmlauf has been approached by
many citizens who have asked him to
run for mayor in the spring election.
He had been asked before to permit
himself to become the mayor of Rich
mond, but up to this time he has de-
clsned. Now. with Mr.. Dickerson out
OF the way. il is likely that Mr.. TIM
lauf may oppose Mayor Ainslie.
Ii Is we'll known that MIR. tmlauf
has for several years had the rnHvor
atty bee in his bonnet. He has been
asked by his friends upon several oc-
casions to get into the fight, but has
consistently refused.
But 1t is understood by his friends
and admirers that he himself, with
the proper pressure to bear. would
antagonize the present mayor.
So far as is known there are no
other pronounced candidates for the
mayoralty Many friends OF Mr.. Um-
lauf would like to see him mayor. He
may run.

Drastic Bill Introduced in Gen
eral Assembly by Delegate
Grant, of Russell. Provides
Heavy Fines.
House Yesterday Gave Consid-
cradle Attention to Laws Re-
garding Children-One Of
Them Affects Those Who

Few more drastic bills have been
introduced in the general assembly
than one presented by Mr.. Grant, of
Russell county, yesterday. regarding
the sale OF cigarettes.
Should Mr.. Grants measure become
a law, the young man under eighteen
years of age will have TO take to the
cellar or the tail tinbers to regale

hibits the sale or the giving away of
either a cigarette or cigarette paper
to minor under eighteen years of

individuals.

son allowing the smoking of cigar

minors shall be subject to a fine.
Should an officer find boy or girl

ing material on their person il will be

SUFFRAGE A STATE
NOT FEDERAL ISSUE
Resolution to This Effect Car
RED in Caucus of House
Democrats by Big Majority.

WASHINGTON, Feb. AT a eau
Gus of the house Democrats held to-
night a resolution was passed declar-
ing that woman suffrage is a State
and not a federal issue. The reso-
luton was offered by Representative
Heflin, of Alabama, the most active
opponent of equal suffrage in pub
tic life The house Democrats voted
1873 for the Hefiin resolution to fifty
seven against It,. Tonights caucus
was called for the purpose of ratify-
ing or reversing the previous action
of the majority of the house commit
tee on rules, which decided last
month against a resolution providing
for a standing committee On woman
suffrage. The pro-suffragists among
the Democrats circulated the call for
the caucus in the hope that when
they got majority together they
would, through fear of possible party
defeat in the suffrage States, grant the
request of the National Association
for Woman Suffrage, that the COM
mittee be created.

ments Are Expected and Lengthy Debate Certain.
LANDSLIDE EXPECTED
ON ULTIMATE VOTE
Band Wagon Rush Predicted
After Victory of Measure Is
Assured, to Please Con-
stituents.

The enabling act. which provides
that the voters OF Virginia be given
the right to say whether liquor Shall
be sold in the State and when the
saloon must cease to exist, will BE-
subject of debate in the senate today.
The bill was made a special order
for debate today ten days ago, and tho
senator's have prepared themselves for
its discussion.
Although in the Hobbies and in the
capitol yesterday it was conceded that
the bill would pass by a vote OF not
less than II to la, it is expected that
several amendments, which will have
no great influence on the ultimate ef-
feet OF the measure, will be added to
the bill before It's passage.
The amendments will lbe in regard
to the form of the ballot to be used in
the voting for Statewide prohibition.
the time at which Statewide prohibi-
ton will go into effect, and such QueS-
tons as will work for delay In tho
operation of the measure
There was little doubt expressed
last night in the hotel Hobbies that
the bill would pass One senator, who
ab1ing act since it was first intro
duced, stated that although he did not
think the bill would be adopted on the
first vote by more than a margin OF
two he did think that after the OPP
ponents of the btff saw that IT was
bound to go through. they would
climb aboard the band wagon" and
ride in with the bill
II doubt seriously" he said, 'if at
the final vote there are more than
half dozen opponents of the meas
ure The Richmond and Norfolk
delegations will vote for II and maybe
three or four others. but that Will be
ALL"
1t is not supposed that the bill will
be adopted today. The opponents OF
the measure will probably fill In the
day with argument for the addition of
amendments to the bill which VIII In
their opinion stultify its operation.
The strength of the proponents of the
measure Is expected to counterfeit any
such raids on the integrity Of the bill
as Statutory measure and prevent the
addition of clauses which will make
it in the slightest degree imperative.
Although the sentiment for the
passage of the measure is of such =
nature as to convince It's opponents
that it will surely pass, 1t will not be
passed without long and sharp debate.
The opponents of prohibition are pre-
pared t omake the fight of their lives
in spite of the fact of their losing and
they will combat the passage OF the
bill in effective form to the last clause.
The proponents of the bill have, how
ever pre- pared themselves for tho
fight and have no doubt that it will
result in ultimate victory for them.
1t is probable that the final vote on
the measure will be taken on Thurs
day after every point has been thresh-
ed out and both opponents and
proponents of the measure have had
full opportunity to say everything Of
Importance for and against the meas

While the teas were perfectly harm

bar the turky trot at any function
last year. could not stand for the

with the girls. They finished their
classes at noon, it was said, and hur-
ried TO the dormitories to change

Vassar thinks Is just as bad.
Il want il understood" said Miss
Wagner today, that the prohibition OF
Vassar girls from attending my tango
teas is no slight upon Wagner Inn. The

A bad feature OF the pronouncement
is that the students must keep away
from the inn altogether while the af-
ternoon dances are in progress. The
Inn depends largely upon Vassars
patronage.
