He issued two circulars to the stock

rating the facts regarding the pro-
curing of an injunction by Stuyyesant
Fish restraining the voting of certain
shares of stock. he says:
"Of course. II Mr.. Ftsh's claim that

pany. trust company, savings bank or
other investment company, wherever

says:

retired as president the Illinois Gem
trail Railroad Company has undergone
an entire change of management. Thi
Is not true. The traffic arrangements

Z But for the fact that Alderman Dab
ney' agreed to send his liquor ordin-
ance back to the Finance Committee,
where other amendments will be tack
ed on. the measure would have been
defeated on the first and final vote Ivy
the Board of Aldermen last night.
When the matter was reached on the
calendar there were only seventeen
members in the chamber. Itswould have
required fourteen votes to pass 1t, and
among those present were five ready
to vote in opposition. Face to face
with this unexpected situation, Alder
man Dabney did not press the fight,
although he believes that with fuii
attendance his ordinance will prevail.
Liquor Dealers There.
There were probably seventy-five
liquor dealers and sSmpathizers at the
meeting. The saloon element had sent
in previously two petitions, urging
Council to kill the ordinance and along
with this was a resolution adopted by
the Central Trades and Labor Council.
expressing strong opposition to the
proposed legislation. Whether the
liquor forces have rallied sufficient
number of friends to their aid To
prevent any change in the law will
be determined, of course, by future
developments, although the prohibit
tion facticn, stunned by the evidence
which came out last night has inti-
mated that IL the Dabney ordinance
fails there will be call for local
option election.
Alderman Satterfield, who made the
motion to recommlt, declared that the
Umiauf ordinance had been lost in
the shuttle political diagnosis which
appears to be correct. 1t was said that
friends of the umlauf proposition are
not behind the fight on the Dnbney
plan. the latter being least objection
able to the saloon dealers. The fight,
therefore, will be squarely upon the
question of limiting the saloons to
150.
Agreed to Send 1t Back.
At the request of the Finance Com
mittee, City Attorney Pollard prepared
an elaborate opinion, in which he took
the ground that legally the ordinance
was not defective. When this had been
read, the petition from the Liquor
Dealers Association was presented.
The document contained but two state
ments of nterest-first, that the
measure was merely step in carrying
out the policies of the Anti-Saloon
League, and second. that as the Rev.
DR.. Mcdaniel had said in public
address, the passage of the ordinance
would hasten the day when saloons
would be voted out Of Richmond. The
other petition came from the State
Alliance of Virginia. the nature OF
which organization was unknown to
many members. 1t declared that the
measure looked TO the complete ellml-
nation of the bars.
Finding that he lacked the requir-
ed number of votes Alderman Dab
ney was preparing to have the mat
ter laid on the table, when Alderman
Sattertleld moved to return 1t to the
Finance Committee. II have been
waiting" said Mr.. Sattertield, ito find
something upon which we could agree
unanimously. That seems impossible
The Umlauf proposition is lost In the
shuttle. One of the members OF the
Finance Committee has said openly
that he will attack the legal phases
and another member desires to make
some important nmendments.''
This motion was unanimously adopt
