POLICEMAN FINED
FOR BEING DRUNK
atty of 500, On a Charge of
Intoxication While ON Duty.

Charged with conduct unbecoming
an officer of the law. Patrolman ].
II. Waymack, of the Third Precinct
Station. was fined 500 yesterday af-
ternoon by Chief of Police Louis
Werner, and warned that repetition
Of the offense would result in his dis
missal from the force The complaint
against Waymack was brought by Po-
lice Captain A. s. Wright, who claimed
that he found the accused officer in
toxicated at the station house Sun
day night, December "a.
Waymack was examined by Police
Surgeon Oppenhimer, and was sus-
pended. awaiting his hearing before
the Chief yesterday afternoon. The
trial board heard all the testimony at
Police Headquarters. and Chief Wer-
ner stated that in view of all the evil
dence and due to mitigating circum-
stances he thought that dismissal
from the citys service was not war
ranted.
The new prohibition law requires
that an officer of the State found
drunk while on duty may be subject
to dismissal from the service, while
the rule of the police department re-
quires that a member accused of q
first offense shall be reprimanded or
fined. The evidence in the case of
Wa. mack, Chief Werner said, was not
of a nature that would demand the
accused mans dismissal. and the fine
OF 500 was imposed. The suspension
from duty, placed on Waymack at
the time of the charge, was removed
and he was allowed to continue on
the force.
Policeman Waymack Joined the
Southside force about year ago. and
since that time has achieved an en-
viable record He is quite we'll
known to sport enthusiasts of the
city. having been at one time a pro-
fessional baseball pitcher His con-
duct, up to tho time he was accused
of being drunk last week, has been
faultless. 1t is said

BY HENR|CO COURT

Abner c. Goode. attorney, yester-
day received a penalty of disbarment
from practice In the Henrico Court,
as the result OF charges brought
against him by Mamie l.. Moughon.
The complainant claimed that Goode.
while acting as her attorney, failed
to deliver 10 her certain funds,
amounting to about 5000, which he
had collected for her.
Through his attorney. David Meade
White, Goode declared that the money
in question represented fees due him
from the complainant and which he
had been unable to collect He pro-
duced books In court which seemed
to bear out this testimony. But Judge
4. Carter Scott did not act upon this
evidence. and entered an order that
the accused lawyer be prohibited
from practicing his profession in that
court for a term of flve years. The
case was appealed to the Supreme
Coure.
Following the decision Of Judge
Scott. Goode entered a suit In the city
Circuit Court against Mamie l.
Moughon for 5000 damages, which
has been docketed until the decision
OF the Supreme Court Is known The
accused lawyer claims that this 5000

Washington. Dec. 27.-Despite the
universal desire of Washington Of
flcials to get Congress off their
hands" administration leaders were
pessimistic as. to the possibility of
concluding the legislative business
pending and impending before the
Congress expires March 4 They were
inclined to believe that only herculean
efforts by both House and Senate can
prevent an extra session Of the new
Congress soon after President Wilson
Is inaugurated for his second term.
Three potent Influences that nay force
an extra session were pointed out
They were:
The condition OF the governments
finances, which will force Congress to
find some new means of revenue or
some bonding plan, to avert a treasury
deficit. not only during the next fiscal
year but when the present year ex-
pires June 81
Delay in the legislative program

numerous routine appropriation bills
and President Wilson'S proposals for
railroad legislation. which ere as yet
untouched.
The possibility of definite peace de-
velopments in Europe, which would
provide an enormous bulk of legisla-
tive business for immediate consider
alton by Congress.
Not a single leader OF either party
in Congress nor an official of the adj
minstration from the President down
wants an extra session. and every pos
slhle effort will be made to avoid one

When Congress reconvenes next

usual routine of a short session and
in addition the railroad program. The
House. before the recess passed five
appropriation bills. There are ten
more to be considered The Senate
passed but one, the negligible urgent
deficiency measure. The leaders are
planning morning and night sessions
of both houses to handle the mass of
business that remains
Congress Will likewise be confronted
after the holidays with the admins
tration's demand for more funds. The
Treasury Department Is at work on
plans for raising more revenue. and
