VIRGINIA LIQUOR
UP
Referendum on Layman Act,
However, Expected to Serve
as Local Option Guide.
BY r. L. c. BARRET,

Special Dispatch to The Star
RICHMOND, Va, October 7.-Vir-
ginia after II years Of legal aridity voted
herself out of prohibition this week,
thus accomplishing what would have
been considered miracle even one
year ago. The vote against the State
dry act was equally as impressive as
that in favor of the repeal of the eight
zenith amendment, and justified the
belief of one of the wet groups, the least
cautious, that it was good policy to
submit both repeal proposals at the
same time.
The vote on State repeal is merely
advisory on the Legislature, which
meets in regular session in January, but
there is no doubt but what that body
will repeal the Layman act and sub
stitute for it some sort of liquor control
which, under the terms of the refer
endum. will carry with it the principle
of local option. Nevertheless, it is ex-
pected that most Of the membees Of
the General Assembly will cast their
votes in accordance with whether or
not their respective legislative districts
went wet or dry, and this raises the
question Of whether State repeal and a
liquor control act will go into effect
soon after the Legislature meets or
whether the effectiveness Of the change
will have to await until about the mid
die of June.
Under the Virginia constitution acts
of the General Assembly. unless they
carry the emergency clause, do not go
into effect until 80 days after the ad-
journment Of the legislative session. To
place the emergency clause in an act
fOl1r-flffhc nf
the two branches of the General As
sembly. Whether that vote can be
secured is a matter which is yet prob
lematical. Some light will be thrown
on the question when the official re-
turns from Tuesdays referenda are
canvassed.
In the meantime the State Liquor
Control Planning Commission will hold
series of meetings, starting next
week. to work out control plan to
supersede the Layman act.
Owing to the composition of the COM
mission, containing as it does both wet
and dry members, the latter including
even State Senator George w. Layman
himself, it is believed that it will sub
NIT majority and minority report,
and that after all the General Assembly
itself will have the task Of framing
the new law. The commission is COM
posed Of Is members, from the
House, from the Senate and S
appointed by the Governor
The convention of 80 delegates elect
ed to cast the States vote in favor of
repeal of the eighteenth amendment
will meet in Richmond on October 25.
Its action will be merely the formal
ratification of the tWenty-first amend
ment, repeating the eighteenth.

TRENTON, N j.. October New

securities trading center has vanished
but it will be long time before the
bills are paid and the tangled negotia
tions Strengthened out And it will be
even longer before property owners in
the vicinity of the proposed Newark
stock exchange get back to earth after
dreams of sudden wealth
In its move against New York City's
additional stock transfer taxes the
New York Stock Exchange spent $780,
600 in New Jersey. Needless to say,
they regard the S250,000 as a good in
vestment, for it saved them paying
millions in taxes or moving.
Seldom has Northern New Jersey
been thrilled as it was when the stock
exchange negotiated for lease and an
pounced trading would begin this week
on the new exchange. The $4,000 900
city market was chosen as the site and
Newark officials won diSposSession writs
against its tenants
Working in three 8-hour shifts. work
men virtually demolished the market
interior to provide for the new trading.
Telephone and telegraph companies

were taken by exchange firms in hum

Newark was seething with the excite
ment Of becoming the financial center
Bank stocks went up and options were
taken on real estate with fragrant dis
regard of market values. Local trans
portation companies prepared revised
routes and additional services
Everything was ready-that is, every
thing except New York being willing to
lose millions of dollars IN ratables and
its financial prestige. The exchange
won its play for high stakes and the
new taxes were not imposed. But New

MARYLAND GETS

PLANT BRANCH
Large Tract Near

Negotiations.
BY J. c. DEPONAI.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, October 7-An Amer
lean branch factory of the Bat'a Co. Of
Czechoslovakia, the largest shoe manu-
featuring concern in Europe, and one OF
the largest in the world, probably will
be located in Maryland. The factory.
it is reported, will be located on a large
tract Of land on the Bush River near
Aberdeen, about % miles from Balti-
more.
when William M. Dongley, owner of the
proposed factory site admitted that ne
gotiations for the sale Of the tract,
which consists Of between 800 and 900
acres, to the Bat'a concern had been
under way for some time, the company
having taken an option on the property
80 days ago. and he expects to know
definitely next week if the company will

Factory plans, however have been OBJ

The property has a mile and one
quarter Of water front, most Of 1t on

The establishment of the branch fac

Just how large the factory would be
and how many workers it would require

that the company proposes to buy the

West Virginia Republicans and Demo-

in the third congressional district. where

The election will be held November

machinery for which is now being set
in motion through the party commit

been made that the election, which will

Of the national administration. though
the Idea is refuted by others, who an

Majority opinions seem to be that the
real issues of the impending campaign
will relate to State matters, with par
ticular reference to nepotisn, which is
now charged as a boomerang against
the Democrats
1t is considered too early yet to gauge
public reaction in regard to the radical
changes in school and road laws which
we're forced upon the State by the
Democrats, although many Republican
leaders are directing criticism ct them.
For the present, the Democratic ad-
ministration seems to be having con-
siderable difficulty in meeting the vari
Gus problems, particularly the tax qHes-
tion, which Is still in muddled state,
because of a Supreme Court ruling
against special levies to allow cities and
counties to pay their debts. Meantime,
cities and counties in SONS sections are
curtailing their ordinary functions be-
cause of insufficient funds to pay cur
rent expenses, and because of this situa-
ton. there is much speculation over the
probability of special session of the
