Interest.
BUT ONE CONTEST
In the Second Ward Howard s
CarIl Defeats Freeholder

In but single ward was there any
primary contest yesterday, that being
in the Second Ward where Howard

This gave Mr.. CARL 40 majority in
the ward.
The Democrats had no candidate on
the ticket, but John B. Miller was
nominated by his name being written
on the ballot.
The vote in the Second Ward was
the largest of any in the city, owing
to the Freeholder contest. The pri-
mary was the most slimly attended in
years and many people who attended
the polls and registered for election
day, failed to cast a primary ballot.
Mayor Arthur C. Whitaker was re-
nominated by vote which was prac-
tically the entire vote of the Republi-
can primaries. The Whitaker vote
was as follows:
First Ward, 1st prec., 81; I'd prec.,
4S; total, 79.
Second Ward, 1st prec., 70; I'd prec.,
80; total, 161.
Third Ward, LIST prec., %: I'd prec.,
3d. Sd prec., 35. Total, 113.

I51; total, 73. fsE2

the primary cast for Mayor Whitaker.

opposition for Mayor in the Democrat
ic primary. The entire vote for Burt
in the city was 151.

Laning as candidates for City Council.
The total vote for the two candidates
follow: Channels, sos; Laning, lat.
The Democrats had no candidates
for City Council upon the primary
ticket. but an organized effort was
made to name two candidates for City
Council and the names of William B.
Holmes, the well-known butcher, and
Joseph M. Stratton, the store keeper,
were written upon the ballots in each
of the 10 voting precincts. The two
men received about one-half the vote
of Burt for Mayor. 4

can; David H. Johnson, Democrat.

SEGREGATION CASE WILL
Be PASSED UPON TO-DAY
Involves Right OF Colored Woman to
Occupy House She Has Owned
for Years.
CASE HAS PECULIAR POINTS
Woman Now Lives Next Door to
House She Proposes to Occupy.
Outcome of Controversy VIII Be
Watched With Interest.

Judge Crump Will pass to-day upon
the question OF dissolving or making
pc mancnt an injunction now outstand-
ing against Lula Willis, colored. re-
strh'n'ns her from occupying as resi-
d"nce the premises at 5l3 North Thir-
ticth street, piece of property OF
which she herself Is the owner.
The case is one Of the most peculiar
tFat the courts have been called upon
to decide since the passage OF the seq
rcEation ordinance which prohibits Il
colored person from occupying as a
place of residence a house located in a
block in which u majority of the houses
are occupied by white people Tho
same Inhibition applies to a white per-
so moving into a house in Il block con-
tanning colored residences In the ma
jority.
Lula Willis has been living at 5lI
North Thirticth street for thirty years
This house has been condemned by the
building inspector as unsafe. and she
now desires to move into the house
next door, which IL also her property.
At the instance OF Mrs. Mary Sullivan
who owns an adjoining house. Judge
Crump granted temporary Injunction
restraining the colorcd woma from oc-
cupyinG her own property.
Attorneys John 3. Welsh and Joseph
Sadlcr. representing Mrs. Sullivan.
claim that the proposal Of Lula Willis
to move into her house at 5l3 North
Thirtieth Street should be treated, not
as transfer, but as an original case
involving the invasion OF block seq
rcsated to one race by a person OF an
other race
Counsel for the co1orcd woman makes
the point that tho transfer will not dis
turb the present ratio OF white and
colored residents in the block: that her
title to the house in which she desires
to move antedates by many years the
segregation ordinance which seeks to
ba" her from enjoying the use of her
property: and that later law can
take from her any of the rights guar
antced to her by law under which she
acquired title.
The outcome OF this controversy Is
watched with interest by both the
white and colorcd races. since II bids
fair to establish "A precedent which will
have an important bearing on the adj
tustment OF similar controversies in the
future.

We arc not protesting against the

to seek the cooperation and assist
ance Of the state Advisory Board on
Taxation in an effort correctly to in
terprct the laws and to ascertain what
is the fair and equitable method Of
assessing capital invested In manufac-
turing businesses
That vas the explanation given by

headed a delegation representing man

With the state Advisory Board yester-
day The. conference began At noon
and lasted until after O'Clock Gov
ernor stuart presided The board
heard the different members OF the
delegation. who had come prepared TO
discuss the matter in detail. and
agreed 10 take under consideration the
several points raised by the Speakers
who argued that the same Law applied
suffice for the assessment OF CAPITAL
in manufactures.

The delegation consisted Of the fol-
lowing; John w. Craddock head OF

In the assessments made the mer-
chants have an advantage over the
manufacturers, II is stated, in that the
latter were required to make full dis
closures as 10 capital employed in their
business for many years past which
Information II is impossible for the
assessors or examiners of records to
obtain from merchants. The delega-
ton contended that the Legislature did
not intend 10 discriminate against tho
manufacturing business and that man
ufacturers should not be required to
pay the tax on money employed in
past years.

the conference that there Is practically
no change in the new law taxing capt.

Is OMMONwEALTH'S ATTORNEY
CITN OR STATt: Of'EIEE:K (.

Reduced to its simplest terms, the
problem that Judge Richardson Will
have 10 solve is whether the Common
wealth's Attorney of the Hastings Court
OF Richmond is state or city officer.
If he is distinctly a state officer. then
it would appear that the vacancy now
existing will have to be filled in ac-
cordance with the method fixed by sec
ton log OF the Code, namely. by APP
pointment by the Judge.
This section, which provides specif-
cally that A vacancy in the office Of
Comm onwealths Attorney shall be
filled by the Hastings Court or the
judge thereof in vacation. and provides
for the same method OF appointment
In cases Of vacancies in ANY county
city. town or district office" concludes
with this proviso:
provided, further. when a vacancy
occurs in q city or town office and the
charter Of such corporation prcscribcs
the mode of filling such vacancy. the
vacancy shall be filed in the mode so
pre- scribed."

I'm cases Of vacancies arising in any
Office elective by the people when a

expiration of the term OF such Office
at which an election can legally be
held for the purpose. it shall be the
duty or the Mayor, upon the happening
or any such vacancy or vacancies,
forthwith TO certify the fact of such
vacancy or vacancies TO the Judge of
the Hastings Court who shall issue
his writ requiring an election to fill
such vacancy or vacancies, to be held
AT such general election In the man
ner prescribed in the general laws Of

although admitting that the law Is not
altogether clear. has rendered an opin-
ion holding that the vacancy in the
commemorative Attorneys office
should be filled by election. In this
view Attorney .Cieneral Pollard has UNI
officially concurred. This ruling would
seem to be based on the feeling that
the Office Is sufficiently municipal in
character 10 come under the dispoai-
ton OF the charter provision.
CLAIM OFFICE Is BEYOND
PURNIEw OF CHARTER
Opposed TO this view is the con-
strnction placed on the Law by num-
Der OF prominent lawyers who hold
that tho charter amendment rcquirinr
the vacancy 10 be filled by election was
meant TO apply 10 strictly city offices,
as for example the Mayor or City Col
lector. and not to the Office Of COM
monwealth's Attorney for the fillinS Of
which. In the event Of vacancy, spc-
cihc provision is made In the Code.
rms school OF thought holds, there

not an officer falling within the pur-
view of the charter provision. and that
the vacancy now existing should be
Hlled by appointment by the Judge Of
the Hastings Court
That Judge Richardson has not him.
