Comments Upon Juries in Richmond
and Says But Few Guilty Parties
Escape in Alexandria.

Because he does not think the jury
of the Hastings Court, of Richmond,
will convict, Commissioner of Pro-
hibition j. Sidney Peters, through
Attorney, Guy T. Horner, today will
ask Judge David c. Richardson for
a change of venire for the trial Of the
eighteen cases of alleged violations
OF the prohibition law now on the
docket.
Commissioner Peters denounces
the action of the juries in this court,
in failing to bring in convictions for
nearly half the cases that have come
to trial here since November I, as
disgraceful, and serious reflection
on that portion of Richmond's popr-
lation which has respect for lawLtnd
order.
The commissioner made ;c plain
that. in asking for a change of ven
IRE, he does not mean to reflect in the
least either upon Judge Richardson
or upon Commonwealth's Attorney
George E. Wise, both of whom ne
characterizes as above reproach in
their official conduct. His action is
aimed solely at the iuries.
The request for change OF venlre
bv the State is rather unique in the
LEGAL annals of Virginia, and is
provision of the Mapp act around
which there centered sharp debate
in the Legislature last winter, Its
granting lies wholly within the dis
cretion of the Judge. Only cnce has
the privilege been invoked since the
law became effective, and the reques!
was at that time refused by Judge
Duvaney, of the Corporation Court
of Hopewell.
Commissioner Peters was caustlvc
in his structures of the Hustlngs
Court juries for their alleged tall-
urc properly to enforce the prohih-
ton law. Nowhere in Virginia, he
said, had enforcement been so lax
as in Richmond. In Alexandria, which
he characterized as one Of the wet
est" cities in the South, scarcely an
Indictment has failed to materialize
mo conviction. The same attitude
obtains. he says among Jurles IN
other cities Of Virginia, Nearly haif
the number of alleged liquor vendors
in Richmond have been released, ana
npon those who were convicted was
placed the lightest penalty allowable
,,rder the law.

PETERS DISSATISFIED TWENTY SPECIAL TRAINS
Arrangements Being Made to Handle
the Inauguration Crowds Which,
Will Go to Washington in March.

Arrangements were made Tor
handling twenty special trains and
for extra equipment on all regular
trains to Washington from March
first to the fourth, to take care of
the crowds going from the south to
attend the Inauguration exercises, at
meeting of officers of the Southern
Railway Company yesterday. Gen
era! Manager VIM. Foreacre and pas
senger traffic manager W. H. Tayloe
were assisted in working out the de-
tailed arrangements by officials from
all parts of the South.
Among the special trains to be
handled is one for the accommoda-
tion of the Governor of Louisiana
and his party, another is for the
"Loyal Legion of Atlanta, which
was organized to attend the inaugu-
ration as an expression of patriotism
and support of the President in the
present crisis. As in the handling of
other large special movements in the
past the full force o: the Southern's
widespread organization will be
brought to bear to insure the move
ment of the large inauguration travel
as promptly and comfortably as in
times of normal business.

President Not Ready to Act Upon
Germany's Ruthless Submarine
Warfare-American Ships to Arm.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 17.-The
ruthless German submarine cam
paign and it's effects upon the United
States were discussed late yester~
day by President Wilson and the cab
met. The meeting lasted only an
hour and afterward it was said no
new steps had been decided on.
Against this campaign the United
States has made the most vigorous
protest possible short of war, but the
administration realizes that so long
as it permits. American ships to be
held in port for fear OF attack by sub
marines it in effect is acquIescing in
the German policy. This state of at
fairs, it is admitted, cannot be per-
mitted to continue indefinitely.
What the United States must do to
end it, and when, are the only ques-
tions. The President is understood to
have a very definite opinion as to
what should be done, but he has not
yet decided that the time to do it has
come.
New York, Feb. IA Washing
ton dispatch to the New York Herald
says, in part:
American merchant ships soon will
defy Prussian submarines by clear
ing for European ports heavily arm
ed for defense.
Naval guns, probably of 6-inch
caliber, will be furnished by the gov
ernment, which also will see that
trained naval gunners are provided
to use them, if need be.
That is the prediction which came
from several reliable sources. There
has been no official announcement OF
the purpose, but it was learned au-
thoritatively that preparations are
being made which can have no other
end in view.
While, of course, it is possible that
some new contingency may arise
which would make such a step un-
necessary, it is not believed in any
official quarter that such will be the
case. The United States government
has been brought face to face with
the necessity of protecting it's legit-
innate commerce on the seas or per-
mitting its entire economic system to
be thrown out of gear by the illegal
Prussian activities.
