PICNIC
IS FEATURE Of TODAY
Prospect is That Sergeant Zimmer Will
Win the RACE, and Captain
Sowell VIII Serve the
Stew.
tBy HARRY TUCKER.)
Today is the day.

Ioday is the day.
The great police picnic is on. 1t
will be on until the sun sets this even
ing. All day long. according to the
committee. people will be vending
their way" toward the State Fair
grounds. there to enjoy the edibles and
the drinkables, mainly limeades. and
the athletic stunts.
The police picnic is something like
something which nobody wots of. 1t
Is so different. The only thing about
police picnic that makes 1t like any
thing else, is that 1t costs money to
go to one. And 1t costs one plunk.
II you ask a policeman what a PUNK
Is, he will say four simoIeons. Then
you will have to find out what that
H. and after much inquiry you will
learn that Is costs one good old dol
lar to enter the fair grounds.
But after you enter everything is
free and open and above board.
Anyone may engage in the simple
game of mumblepeg. or he may go into
the fat mans race. He may. even en-
ter into the beauty contest. and win
a blue ribbon. But above all, every
one attending the policemen's picnic
must eat two or three bowls of Bruins
wick stew. and several helpings of po-
tato salad.
Many places today VIII observe half
holiday. In order that employees may
attend the picnic, and help augment
the fund for old and incapacitated po-
licemen who have worn themselves
out helping protect the citizens of

LODGES COMPLAINT
AGAINST JUDGE TYLER
b. +. Crockett, of York County, Al
leges Jurist Is Guilty of NAL
feasance in Office.
TEXT OF HIS CHARGE
Complainant Was Recently Elected
Justice OF Peace in His District, But
Forfeited Office by Failing to Quail
fy I'm Time.

Charges of malfeasance were yes
terday filed with Governor Stuart
against Judge D. Gardiner Tyler, of
York County. by B. F. Crockett.
Judge Tyler Is the son of the late
John Tyler. President of the United
States. No information regarding the
charges could be obtained at the Gov
ernor's office yesterday. and 1t is not
likely that there will be any express
sion coming from him in regard to
the charges, since it Is a matter for
the General Assembly.
Mr.. Crockett was at one time own er
OF a news stand at the National SOL
diers' Home. and until recently op-
Grated small store at Seaford. Some
time ago he was elected a justice of
the peace in Grafton District, York
County, but 1t appears he failed to
qualify within the proper time limit.
and therefore forfeited the Office. Mr..
Crockett claims that his store was
sold at auction by county officials and
this will be settled in a suit in Judge
Tylers court.
The affidavit sent to the Governor
by Mr.. Crockett is as follows:
Commonwealth OF Virginia

Henry c. Stuart, Governor Of Vir-
GINA:
Il, B. F Crockett do hereby file
notice with the Governor. II. c. Stuart,

feasance of office. l hereby petition
Governor III. c. Stuart, Governor of
Virginia, for a hearing OF said cause.
/ am sure he is guilty OF malfeasance
of office. for l have his own hand
writing to prove said case"
The following petition was forward
ed to Judge Tyler. signed by many
prominent citizens of Seafprd:
ITO Judge D. Gardiner Tyler,-we,
the undersigned citizens OF seaford,
Va, do petition your honor. asking
you to look into the treatment Of Mr.
B. F. Crockett. as we have never
known a citizen in our county to be
treated in the way Mr.. Crockett has
been treated. and we think this mat
ter should be looked after. We, as
citizens of York County. do petition
your honor. asking you as the Judge
of York County. TO have this matter
looked after"
