BAR BILL WINS
IN VIRGINIA
SENATE
Measure Wins With a
Vote to Spare; Two
Lead Attack

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. I.
With one vote to spare, the Bit
terly contested bill making the
Virginia Bar Association the po-
lice force Of the legal profession
in the State has passed the Sen
ate.
The vote was % to II, all but
one senator voting. Being q
revenue measure, 81 votes were
required for passage.
Opposition to the bill was led
by Senator John Warwick Rust
of Fairfax and Senator Lloyd M.
Robinette Of Lee. Two Senators
who previously had voted with
the opposition switched their
votes yesterday to put the meas
ure over. Before passage, how.
ever, the bill was amended to
eliminate the provision making
failure to pay Bar Association
dues 4 miSdemeanor.
ABC Bill Amended
The Senate advanced to third
reading the alcoholic beverages
act changes, but this bill too
was fought on the floor until the
search and seizure clauses were
stricken out. The bill, intended
to strengthen and simplify the
original ABC act, got out Of com.
mittee without the search and
seizure clauses which were Of
fered on the floor as amend
mentS.
The Senate lost little time in
voting negatively.
The House has advanced to
third reading the McCue-Daugh.
erty bill providing for q new sys-
tenn of splitting up profits from
the ABC stores. Under this bill,
S per cent Of the profits would be
apportioned to the communities
having stores before the rest Of
the profits are divided. 1
Job Insurance Up Today
Five votes were registered
against the bill restricting adver-
tising dentists when that measure
was before the House.
Unemployment insurance Is on
third reading in the Senate today.
nine committee amendments hav.
ing been adopted yesterday while
the bill was amendable and before
its advancement. One Of the
amendments provides that in the
event the Federal Unemployment
act is declared unconstitutional
the money taken from Virginia
employers shall be returned di-
rectly. to them.

DUE SOON

ROCKVILLE, Md, Feb. 7.-Per.
sonal property tax schedules for
residents o. Montgomery county
are being prepared for mailing
by Ira c. Whitacre. clerk to the
Board Of County Commissioners,
at the request Of the Maryland

Residents of the county are

commissioners in levying assess
mentS, Mr.. Whitacre said. These
Sche Jules become effective in the
levy year beginning July i, 1895.
8 Failure to- return within 10
days after receipt of the schedule
will subject the property Of the
delinquent to an estimated assess
ment. Failure to appear on 8
hearing date set for such assess
mentS will automatically place
the estimates In effect, accord
ing to Mr.. Whitacre.
This assessment, Mr.. Whitacre
explained, is an arbitrary amount
reached by the commissioners,
and is sent out to the delinquent
residents together with Q notice
of a date for hearing At this
hearing they may appear before
the board and ask reduction of
their assessment If they desire,
and then file an accurate Sched-
ule, he said.

To those wearers Of red flan-

est apology!
A few days ago The Times pub
liShed a story announcing the
complete extinction of those dear
old unmentionableS that used to
wave so flarningly in the breeze
on the old.fashioned clothesline.
Today the error was revealed.
There actually are stores that sell
them and customers that buy
them and wear them.
Two letters were received by
the editor taking exception to the
story.
And He Wears Them
One correspondent from Vir-
ginia made the startling revela-
ton that no less modern than
a junior at Virginia Polytechnic
Institute is the owner of a real
honeSt-to-goo pair Of red
flannels and that he wears Them
when the occasion demands.
Myer Kaplon, a store owner in
Brunswick, Md, comes to the de-
fense of the red unmentionables
with the announcement that he
always keeps a supply Of red flan-
nels on hand, and that he sells
them-belieye it. or not-even in
the summer time to customers
under doctors orders to keep as
warm as possible. He writes:

Official Estimate

Construction of a widespread
pedestrian subway system for
downtown Washington is being
studied by the House District
Committee investigating Wash
ington traffic congestion. follow
ing presentation of the subject
yesterday by Traffic Director
William A. Van Duzer.
Chairman Carpenter backed
up Mr.. Van DuZer in his aSSer-
ton that a street car underpaSs
at Dupont Circle would relieve
severe traffic jams there.
Underground walks were pro
posed also for three downtown
intersections, at Fifteenth Street
and New York Avenue, the Treas
ury corner; Twelfth Street and
Pennsylvania Avenue, and Thir-
teenth Street and Pennsylvania
Avenue.
Asks $4,000 for Study
Congress should appropriate at
least $25, 900 for q complete sur
vey of the District subway needs,
Peoples Counsel Roberts and the
District Commissioners contend.
More than $50 persons now walk

condemned to die and thousands
more to be sent to hospitals if the
present rate Of traffic accidents
continues through 1886.

longed suffering or instant death.
PrecautiOn Urged
Thus Inspector Benjamin A.
Lamb and Capt. Milton d.
Smith, high officials Of the
Washington police traffic division,
describe the pitfalls of careless
ness in their campaign to warn
pedestrians.
Inspector Lamb today issued
a proclamation to all motorists
and pedestrians urging extra pre-
cautions during bad weather. 1t
read:
'sWith cold weather lowering
over most parts Of the nation,
and the streets covered with ice
and snow, all drivers and pedes-
trians are cautioned.
"BE CAREFUL"
Pedestrians, bent on reach.
ing their destinations, often
win burrOw down deep into
coat collars, or hide under um-
brellas, and make q dash across
the street. God pity them
they never reach safety!
'tBe careful!"
Little hope that the number Of
fatalities in traffic mishaps would
decrease here, however, was, ex-
pressed by police today, in spite
of the congressional investigation
and daily appeals to the public.
Police explained:
Pedestrians will deliberately
push the traffic policemen aside
to get across the street. They
are insuIted If q policeman
warns them. Many, however,
are willing to cooperate because
they realize the danger"
ODDS ARE SMALL
Captain Smith made startling
discovery in his survey regarding
the average motoriSt."
For instance, if you are a man,
between 25 and 81 years old, driv-

afternoon on a dry surface street,
the chances of your safely getting
through an intersection are about

Every car involved apparently was
in good condition. No bad brakes,
no defective steering. Saturday
afternoons were the most danger
