MAYORS COMMITTEE
TO GO TO WASHINGTON

A meeting of the committee APP
pointed by Mayor AinsIie to investi-
gate and report on measures to be
taken to cooperate with the federal
administration in the distribution OF
foodstuns TO the people Of Richmond
was held yesterday in the mayors Of
flee.
The nrst recommendation OF the
committee was that a. committee be
appointed by h mayor to go to
Washington and ask the secretary of
war 10 make the distribution of sup
plies an army function. The exact
request OF the committee will be to
nave a quartermaster corps detail as
signed to duty In Richmond to take
complete charge Of handling the sup
plies. The committee will probably
guarantee the war department. a
warehouse to use as a storage room
and distribution point.
Inc recommendation
was 10 call nifty or sixty representa-
tive citizens together and try to get
sufficient backing to finance the prop
osition in Richmond. This will be
resorted to only in event of the gov
ernment's refusal to handle the mat
ter.
The committee will b. appointed

The proposed distribution Of ten
carloads OF sugar in Richmond was
complicated yesterday by advice from
the sugar equalization board that buy
ers Of the sugar must taxi any con-
sign1nent sight unseen and with
out any guarantee of the condition OF
the commodity. Clyde w. Saunders,
who contracted to handle the sugar
situation under tho mayors super-
vision, called New York Immediately
on receipt OF the letter and confirmed
the contents by long distance.
AS the government price for sugar
IS nine cents. 4. O. b. shipping point,
and ss date of shipment Is entirely in
definite, little or no advantage is Of
fered over dealing direct with sugar
~rehnerfes. The price Is the same
and the date OF shipment is equally
Indefinite. No final action was taken
yesterday, but It was apparent that
complete abandonment OF the sugar
proposition vas not unlikely.

state could not license one man to do
q certain thing n then impose a
penalty on another for doing the same
thing. The whole question was as to
the validity of the Sunday closing regu-
lation.
Then counsel for Newman asked for
a stated time In which to make an
appeal to the Judges of~the supreme

Judges of the court to which appeal
for relief was made. Every contention
relied on by the defense was presented,
and 1T was on this agreed statement
