Thomas Padgett, who on July 25th,
seriously cut Horace Hefin, a brake
man Of the Washington Southern
Railway, employed at the Potomac
yards, was given a preliminary hear

STATEWIDE PETITION FLAWS
In Nearly Every Section of State
Names Have Been Illegally
Signed.

Richmond, August G.-Not only has
the illegal signing Of the Statewide
petition asking for an election OH
Statewide prohibition September %
been discovered in Richmond, but in
nearly every section Of the State
where the lists have been checked
back.
First, the Richmond petition was
found faulty, where innumerable
signatures had been placed on the pc
tition illegally, but now comes the
tidings from Lynchburg and Giles
County. where the sane offense was
perpetrated.
In Lyncnburg, where the lists in
Guided 9I5 names, supposed to be
qualified voters, 120 were found to be
absolutely without a vote, and. there
fore, without a right to petition for
the calling of the election in Scptem-
ber IN Giles county there were sew
cnty-two names on the lists, which,
under law. had no right to be there.
This is giving the advocates Of pro-
hibition the benefit of the doubt in
every case, where there can be the
least possible mistake, AMI it is de-
clared that a close adherence to the
law would show that almost double
this number were Illegal signatures.

MONTAGUE BILL PASSED
Appropriates $450,OOO for an Add
ton TO tie Riochmond PostOffice.

Washington, D. c., August 6.-Sen-
ator Swanson yesterday called up in
the Senate the Montague bill passed
by the House Monday to appropriate
S450,0OO for the purchase of a strip
of land adjoining the present Rich
mond postoffice and custom house,
upon which. to build an addition and
secured the consent of the Senate to
its passage.
The bill, as originally introduced
in the Senate and House, called for
that amount.
As it was apparently impossible
to secure the passage of the Senate
bill by the House, Senator Swanson
thought the best course was to pass
the House bill for the smaller
amount.
The Treasury Department will set
about appraising the land and pre-
pairing for its purchase. After the
land is formally bought the depart
ment will commence the preparations
of plans for the extension, and, if
reasonable progress is made, bids Tor
the work will be asked in about IS
months.

SUGAR ADVANCES IN PRICE.
Said to be the Effect of the War in
Europe.

Baltimore, August 6.-The war in
Europe is beginning to have its effect
IN commodity prices on this side,
and many dealers say it looks as if
the advance is just beginning. AS the
demand for all foodstuffs increases
IN the other side and when an open
gateway is established to get the pro-
duce to them this side will feel the
advance that is bound to follow the
active demand everywhere.
As step in this direction sugar
was advanced 10 points yesterday at
wholesale, which makes the price to
the jobbers $3.50 hundred pounds.
Later in the afternoon A. c. Smith
Y Sons, merchandise brokers and
arge handlers CT sugar in this mar
-ket, said he had received advices
from New York that the price had
gone up to S. hundred pounds and
that he looked for still further adj
Varces IN the near future. MIR. Smith
said the market is very steady and
he could hold out no encouragement
that the consumers will have to paw
more for their supplies.
This action was first taken by the
american Sugar Refinery, but the
other refneries followed closely in
inc. Some of the skeptical pointed
20 the fact that this is the preserving
season and is time of the year when
he sugar retiners always put up
prices.
