HALL NOT TO SEEK
MOORE'S POSITION
Virginia Delegate Will Not
Run for Seat in
Congress.
~ a stan Correspondent Of The star.

BY a Stan Correspondent OF The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, February t.
Wilbur C. Hall, member of the House
of Delegates from Loudoun County, will
not be a candidate to succeed R. Walton
Moore as member of the United States
House of Representatives from the
eighth congressional district, he an
nounced today.
Halls name has been mentioned since
announcement was made by Mr.. Moore
that he will not again be a candidate
for the office he has held many years
but it was not until today that Hall
made public his intentions. State Sena-
tor Frank L. Ball of Arlington County
and Judge Howard W. Smith of Alex
andria already have announced their
candidacy.
In announcing that he will rot be a
candidate, Hall issued the following
statement
Il am deeply grateful for the many
assurances of support that have come
to me from every section of the eighth
congressional district urging me to be-
come a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Congress from this dis
trict. could not become an active
candidate without serious neglect of
my official duties in the General Assem-
bly,, and leSsened advocacy of meas
uACc W11AC1I all SpOIiSOTulB at DIllS
session, and I have concluded not to
become a candidate at this time.
THE insurance regulation measures
which have had tine privilege of spon-
soring, and which will result in de-
creased insurance rates in Virginia may
IN the near future need some changes,
and have determined to see this
matter to final legislative conclusion,
even to the point of political or personal
sacrifice. 1t is also more than probable
that Virginia may lose Congressman
under the Fern reapportionment bill,
and the State will have to be re-dis-
tricted for congressional representation.
and ever if were a successful candidate
an active campaign would probably be
necessary in the next congressional
election"

lowing public hearing that lasted for
TOUR hours and after an executive Ses-
sion at which several changes were
maze, the House courts of justice COM
mltGee last night reported out the Gary
Reid-Hall workmen's compensation bill
AS amended, however. the bill is be-
heved by its sponsors to have lost a
number OF the features that would
nave made it big aid to the condi-
tlon OF industrial workers in the State.
Joint Hearing.
Yesterdays hearing was a Joint one
Of the House courts of justice commit
tee, of which Vivian L. Page, Norfolk,
is chairman, and the Senate general
laws committee, of which Senator E.
l.. Kendlg, Victoria, is chairman. The
committees had for consideration two
bills, one introduced by Delegate j.
Vaughn Gary, Richmond. of which
Hugh Reid, Arlington, and Wilbur C.
Hall, Loudoun, were co-sponsors. and
the other by Senator John w. Chalk
ley, Big Stone Gap.
The most decided changes were adj
Vocated In the House bill. Under this
measure 1t was proposed to increase the
maximum weekly compensation from
So to SIT per week, the percentage of
salary from so to 1924 per cent. the
total compensation from $4,000 to $500
for total disability, the burial benefits
from $500 to 5000 and the compulsory
medical attention period from 90 days
to an unlimited period, to be deter
mined by the State Industrial Commits
sion in each case.
AS amended, however, the maximum
weekly compensation would be increased
to $14, the percentage of salary to SIS
per cent, the total compensation to
$4,000, the burial benefits to $3.50 and
the death claim from $500 to $4,000
The medical attention feature was left
as drafted.
Following the amending of the bill
Gary announced that he will attempt
to have it amended to its original form
when it comes up on the floor for con-
sideration.
ChaIkIey Bill.
The Chalkley bill, which has not yet
been reported from the Senate commit
tee, increases the weekly compensation
to the amount provided under the
amended House bill, but does not in
crease the percentage of salary to be
paid. Both bills reduce the waiting
period from 10 days to days 1t is
estimated that under the original House
bill the cost of compulsory insurance
to employers would be raised between
$725,000 and $750,000 and under the
Senate bill would be raised between
$175,000 and 100000.
Labor representatives appearing at
the hearing all advocated the original
Gary bill. Among these were w. C.
Creekmore, legislative chairman of the
Virginia Federation of Labor; Miss
Lucy Mason of the Richmond Young
Women's Christian Association; Miss
Matilda Lindsay of Clarendon, South

advance, claiming that all industries
are now in financial straits and that to
add to their burdens will be to court
ruin. Many declared that it would be
necessary to obtain the additional

ALEXANDRIA, Va, February T.
Heated discussion arose at the meeting
OF city council here yesterday afternoon
over the question as to whether or not
the city service truck of the Fire De-
partment. now located ct No. l fire
house, was to be moved to the house
of Company No. at Potomac.
The matter was finally disposed Of on
motion by Mayor Smoot that the
truck answer all calls, regardless Of 10
cation. until the matter could be
further considered.
Councilman Edmund r. TIGER intro
duced q motion that the city council
request j. Fred Blrrell, delegate TO the
State General Assembly from this city,
TO introduce a bill authorizing the
council to have an election to submit
TO qualified voters Of the city, for rati-
f1cation or rejection, a proposal for the
sale OF the city's gas plant and works.
The motion was passed unanimously
and the bill, which had been drawn up
by City Attorney Carl Budwesky, was
read.
Territory Survey Asked.
Resolutions were introduced and re-
ceived to the effect that City Manager
Lawrence be authorized to make a sur
vey of the annexed territory for the
extension of gas mains and make a re-
port with recommendations to council
and that 100000 be appropriated for
installing said gas mains and the nee
essary laterals. No action was taken on
these motions.
Mayor Smoot inquired of City Man
ager Lawrence as to whether any Of
the preliminary work necessary before
the widening of the one-mile strip of
Mount Vernon avenue could be started
had been done, and the city manager
replied that this work had not been
started, but that it would only re-
quire about a week for the plans and
grades and that nothing could be done
until the River road was completed and
traffic on Mount Vernon avenue could
be diverted. The mayor suggested that
plans be made so that work could
start as soon as possible.
Councilman TIGER, asked as to what
had been done with regard to the cor
rection OF street names where there
were more than one of the same name
and the city manager reported that he
was to have a conference with Post
master F. Clinton Knight regarding
the matter and hoped to be able to
reconcile it In short time.
The ordinance introduced two weeks
ago for the creation of two additional
wards and the change in boundaries of
two other wards was placed on its sec
ond and third readings and passed. The
sum Of $4,000 was appropriated in an
ordinance placed on its first reading
for the erection of grandstand for the
President and governor at the George

rade and for the hiring Of special

TRIAL FOR CANNON
 NOW SEEMS SURE
Reliable Reports Says AinSWorth
 Ready to Appoint Committee

Washington. Oct. 3 tP}-An inves- tigation of the charges brought against Bishop James Cannon, Jr., of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, by foup ministers of the de- nomination appeared certain today following a conference last night between Cannon and Bishop w. N. Ainsworth.
 Reliable authority had it that Bishop Ainsworth had decided to appoint a committee of ? ministers to conduct an inquiry to determine whether a church trial is necessary.
 Bishop Ainsworth left Washing ton last night for Birmingham. Bishop Cannon would not con- ment on his conference with Aims worth. There was speculation whether Cannon would make any public reply at this time to the charges which have not been made public.
 Should the ministerial committee decide a trial is necessary, suspen- sion of Bishop Cannon until the next meeting of the church's general conference in 1884 would be a pos sibility Under church regulations, the trial of a bishop is conducted before the general conference only.
 The charges are understood to deal with the stock market and political activities of the bishop as well as other phases of his conduct.

 CHANGED TODAY
Regular Staff Takes Charge
 Without Demonstration

Tientsin, China, Oct. R - The cumtoms offices here were taken over this morning without incident by the former regular staff headed by MT. Grierson.
 Grierson and the Manchurian su- perintendent drove up in cars, fol- lowed by the regular customs staff. The staff which Bertram Lenox Simpson, British born chief of the customs under the rebel adminls- tration, had used here handed over files, and other data with proper ex- plantations.

Service Gets More Satisfac- ton Out of Arrest of Carriers" Than Detec- ton of 118 Tourists At- tempting to Get Goods in Duty. Free.

Washington, Oct. R>-Fourteen Of those highly elusive persons, the illicit diamond merchant and the diamond carrier, were caught by the diamond squad of the customs serv- ice during the fiscal year 1880, giv ing the service more satisfaction than the seizure with the goods" of 11S tourists.
 A report to Commissioner of Gus toms F. x A.. Eble by John w. Roberts, head. of the diamond squad, revealed today some of the work ings of the smugglers and their gov ernment foes. Of those arrested 13 have been convicted and the case against the other is pending. Gem Carrier Caught Far more important than the ap- prehension of many smuggling tour ' ists, Eble pointed out, is the con- . TiCtion of one diamond carrier A . single carrier has been known to deliver $50O,00o worth of diamonds, , duty free, on one trip.
 Then carriers come in infinite variety. he said-pursers, members of ships crew. travellers with a side line, immigrants.
 The smuggling business was said in recent tariff hearings to account for half the diamond imports into the United States, which take so per cent of the worlds production. To a New York waterfront 40 or i. 50 miles long. with 500 to 500 piers , at which there may be 200 foreign ships, the diamond carriers come. . Obviously, Eble pointed out, appre- : hension must depend on tips. Some n one abroad sees something to arouse suspicion. It is told to customs agents who pass along the word. A reward of 25 per cent of the amount recovered, not to exceed s50,000 in any case. awaits informers.
 Often Hard to Catch
 But even if it is known man is s carrying diamonds. it is often hard to- get him when he comes off ship a in New York. Eble said. |, He quoted Roberts, squad chief, in d ueSCIlptlOu iOl uldulOHu-QeleCllIlS :, difficulties:
 " Delivery Is never made at the ~ smugglers' office or house. Delivery ~ is made at an appointed place, in the street, in restaurant, by means of an identification as to an article being worn by the carrier, or per haps by cut card.
 Sometimes the smuggling dealer on this side calls at the home of a person to whom the carrier from $ abroad already has delivered. In : such cases, they await one, two or ? three days after the goods are de- :. ]ivered to make sure everything is ,. all right.

white for evening. l have two new
colors one called beige astrakhan.
which blends admirably with the
new kind of astrakhan fur; the
other is mby new green which, hav-
ing a yellow tinge is becoming
| equally to the blonde and the bru-
nette. Before selecting the latter,
consulted fortune tellers, know
ing how greatly many pretty swom-
en- fear the evil influence of green.
l was glad to learn. however, that
the new green, because Of the yellow
tinge, has beneficial astral influences
and therefore can bring only hap
piness and joy.
Fabrics for Fall
Fabrics include much triple geor.
gette. shone pile velvet. a prepon-
derance of woolens, some metal
broches-especially for blouses-a
little more heavy crepe de chine and
satin. My collection is conspicuous
for the absence of artificial silk,
which is no haut luxe article. For
hats, the use of fur makes copying
more difficult Hats are worn well
to one side, avoiding that nun-like
effect that women have with tur-
bans.
In concluding the seasons modes
still are destined to be ladylike-
but youthfully so. Fabrics are moro
sumptuous and are enhanced by the
richness of the trimmings. This
season, the note Of hesitation has
entirely disappeared. We are able
to take the new line and vary it
widely, avoiding relationship be-
tween the various models. q
The smart woman no longer is
content merely to wear a dress.
She wants her personality expressed.
