GOVERNOR PRESSES
ANTITRUST BILL

The governor has transmitted an
other special message to the senate
urging that body to pass the Hudgins-
billiard antitrust Jaw. During the
regular session the governor sent
similar message seeking the passage of
this bill. In his latest message the
governor calls to the attention of the
senate the fact that the bill was passed
in the house by an overwhelming ma
jority and that war profiteering de-
mands the speedy enactment of this
legislation for the protection of the
people. He cites the fact that the
senate rendered its service and CO.
operation TO the governor to halp win
the war. and asserts that the exigen-
cies OF war conditions demand relief
that this bill would afford.
No action has been taken as yet by
the senate, but the matter will be
taken up If time will permit. IT LIS
claimed by supporters of the bin that
majority of senator's favor it, and
that II II can be brought to a vote
It would surely pass.

Charlottesville. Va, March 10
The indictments and papers in the
case of s. D. Crenshaw, fourth, which
mysteriously disappeared from the
safe OF Clerk c. E. Moran, have not
yet been located, though every ef-
fort is being made to find them.
In the event the papers are not
found. the accused will probably have
to be re-indicted at the next, or later
grand jury.
The case was continued until the
April term, the defendant being held
to bail for his appearance at said
term. which commences on the first
Monday in April.
Judge Fishburne's only comment on
the missing papers was that the oc-
currence was unparalleled in his ex-
perience.
