NEED MORE SCHOOL MONEY.
Newport News FINDS II Cannot Keep
Expenses Within Appropriatfop.

Newport News Finds II Cannot Keen
Expenses Within Appropriation.
Newport News, Va, March 25.-
II Is the opinion of the members of
the board Of school trustees that the
$4,000 additional school appropriation
recommended by the finance COM
mittee OF the City Council will not be
sufficient TO operate the schools dur
ing the coming year. Some of the
members. 1t is sal |, have recommended
that the schools be operated as long
as tn money lasts and then closed.
Little or no attention was paid the
request of the school for an appro-
priation of $4,000 with which to
build an addition to the negro scnool.
II Is the opinion of the board, how
ever. that t is absolutely necessary
that the facilities of this school be
increased, as many of the grades are
doubled at this time.
Members OF the board say that New
port News now educates its pupils at
less per capita than any other city in
the State. Norfolk. older and larger
than this city. Is asking the City Coun-
ci for an appropriation of $i9S.000 to
operate its schools during the coming
year. This city will get $4,000. and
perhaps not all Of that, If the present
plans Of tho members of the finance
committee materialize Something
Ike $1,000 in commissions to the city
treasurer for collecting the special
school tax levy will also be deducted
from that sum.

Commerce Commission Ruling Re-
quires Railroad to Sue for De-
murrase Charges, How
ever Small

Newport News. March 25.-~Claim-
ing actual damages in the sum of
81, the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
Company, in the United States District
Court. at Norfolk, has filed notice Of
a suit against 8. A. Rudd Il Company,
of Newport News. This Is the small
est sum any plaintiff has ever sued
for In that court.
The suit Is styled the Chesa peake
and Ohio Railway Company versus s.
A. Rudd. OF Newport News and grows
out of demnrrage charges on a car of
lumber which the defendant refused
to pay. In the bill OF complaint
damages of $50 are named, but the
sum actually asked for Is 81. The
court costs will amount to twenty
five times the money the plaintiff
seeks to recover.
A ruling OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission. which requires all trans
portation companies to sue for all un-
paid demurrage charges Is the reason
for the suit. The commission holds
that unless the transportation com
pany makes legal effort to recover
the money it is guilty of granting n
rebate. S. @ Bland. of Newport News,
Is attorney for the plaintiff.

cree and that official. L. 8. Thomas,
OF Martinsvtlle. was constituted 4 spe-
ciai master Of the court to make
report in the contention OF the court.
This report has been made and cOun-
sci for the defendant now sets up the
contention that while II 10 posaible for
wage-earner to go into voluntary
bankruptcy proceedings before the ref
to be thrown into involuntary bank
ruptcy.
The arguments OF the petitioner
were made before Judge Mcdowell In
chambers today by J. T. Clements,
OF Chatham and Mr.. Swink. OF VIM
ston salem, n. c., and by n. I. Over
by and Major George r. Rison, Of
