City Attorney Nassie Has
Nineteen Summoned.
ANNEXATION PROCEEDINGS
Judge Shackelford Sits at Warwick
Court House Next Tuesday to Be-
gin Hearing Of Long Delayed Case
Contention Of Counties.

twenty-five witnesses from this
city will testify at the hearing OF the
annexation proceedings OF the city OF
Newport News against Warwick and
Elizabeth City counties, which VIII
begin before Judge Shackellord, OF
Orange county, in the Circuit Court
OF Warwick county Tuesday morn
ing. Nineteen of the twenty-five wit
nesses are TO testify on behalf of the
city, while the remaining six have
been summoned on beha.- OF the
counties.
The Witnesses summoned are:
For Newport News-Sergeant limo
thy A. Mitchell, Patrolman A. A.
Padgett and J. f. carp, Superinten-
dent of Schools Willis A. jenkins,
Fire Chief w. X. Stow, Former Mayor

Captain S. ID. Dock and +. Z. Brown;
for the counties: w. b. Livezey.
Caleb d. West, ID. 5. Jones, Sol Mil
Ter. Alex Meyers and A. b. Ed
monds.
While there have been many delays
in the annexation proceedings, it is
expected now that the hearing OF
the case will begin Tuesday. So far
as is known. counsel for the counties
will not offer any serious objection to
Judge Shackleford trying the case.
His circuit is remote from this sec
ton and there can be no objection on
that score.
Warwick county is going to center
its fight against the city on the con
dition OF the city's finances. and no
doubt the recent retrenchment aglta-
ton will play a somewhat important
part in the hearing. Counsel for the
counties will claim that this city is
not now able to take care of all Of
the territory within its limits and
keep it's public school system up TO
The highest standard.
This county also will fight the
proceedings on the ground that the
proposed annexation will take away
about one-half of the revenues OF the
county and an attempt will be made
to prove that the annexation would
be the death blow TO the "old free
state of Warwick
Besides the two counties, it is ex-
pectei that the Old Dominion Land
Company will figh, against the an
nexation as a large tract of the prop
erty of that company just outside of
the city limits would be brought
within the city and subjected to a
higher tax rate than at present r.
C. Bickford will represent the land
company at the hearing.

Although there was a wide diversi-
ty OF opinion among the members on
many of the amendments TO the IL
cense tax ordinance as recommended
by the finance committee, the COM
mon council, In special session last
night disposed of the entire report OF
the committee as to the license tax,
eight of the seventeen amendments
being adopted without change four of
them being amended slightly and the
remaining five rejected. The report
of the committee as amended by the
lower branch is now ready TO go to
the board of aldermen and ii is eX'
pected that that body will hOld a spe-
cial meeting early next week to act
on the report as the law requires that
the license tax ordinance shall be
adopted before May J.
Only four of the amendments re-
ported by the committee were adopt
ed without discussion. There were
some sharp tilts over many of the
other amendments aud. while tame
as compared to the retrenchment'
sessions, the meeting proved a very
lively one from the start. President
II. 5. Jones ruled with an iron hand
and several OF the members were
scored by the president for their fail
ure to rise when making motion
or seconding a motion already made
As a result of this ruling. President
Jones and Councilman Cox had a
sharp tilt. Mr.. Cox declaring that
since the president insisted on max
ing the members rise to offer a mo
ton or 10 second one he would have
to demand that the Presid mt leave

MARKET LETTER
OF HENRY CLENS

NEW YORK, August Cove are
now in stage of the year when con-
ditions are least favorable to activity.
1t is vacation time and the number
of absentees is large. Our harvest
still possesses some uncertainties, and
it is the period between seasons when
commercial operations are generally at
a minimum. Such conditions are, of
course, not calculated to stimulate ac-
tivity. Nevertheless, the tendencies
are towards improvement, and the in
ertia which now exists in the business
world is what was most needed to per-
init of readjustment and lay the basis
for fresh recovery later on.
The greatest betterment has been in
the monetary situation. Owing to re-
cent pressure exerted by banks in all
parts of the country, prospects of a
money squeeze this autumn which
once caused considerable apprehension
have now been reduced to a minimum.
At worst there is nothing to be feared
except possibly local and temporary
stringency when the crops move. The
Eastern banks have greatly strength
ened their resources, and will be abun-
dainty able to meet any interior de-
mands. Liquidation has also mate
rally strengthened the interior. The
surplus reserve of the New York
banks is now over $55,00O,000, having
shown a remarkable rise in the past
FIVE or six weeks. We have already
imported about $2O,OOO,00O of gold,
which has proved sufficient, although
only half of the $4O,OOO,OOO which it
was anticipated would be required a
few weeks ago. The improvement in
the local banking situation has been
so pronounced as to discourage fur
ther gold imports, unless there be a
sudden and unexpected increase in
merchandise exports. Bankers are
now pursuing a more liberal policy
towards their customers, and the de-
mand for commercial paper has cor
respondingly improved. AS business
operations had previously been mate
rally curtailed through pressure from
banking sources, the relief in the lat
| ter quarter should in due time make

ago than 1905.
1t is very evident that American
Beet sugar is this year verifying the
predictions of it's friends, made some
FIVE years too early to be sure, but the
outcome is none the less gratifying
for that reason.
After the 100000 notes have been
retired, as they will be on or before
March 81 next, some consideration of
dividends on the common is regarded
as almost certain. 1t is unreasonable
to expect an initial rate of better than
per cent or per cent, which with
the adequate working capital now in
hand would still leave 100000 to $780,
900 for depreciation or building Of new
plants.
The company has installed in Cali
fornia an initial battery of pulp-drying
machines and is drying about 30 tons
of beet residue daily, which is sold to
the farmers for cattle feed. This uti-
lization of a now wasted by-product
should in time produce considerable
net earnings.

year loan, representing the balance
of an original loan of $1,200,000 float
ed this spring to enable the company
to pay off the $S,OOO,OOO per cent GER
tificates of Indebtedness which came
due the first of March last. This loan
will be retired out of surplus earnings
of the current year and the company
will then have left balance of undi-
vided profits sufficient to more than
take care of the $450,900 of property
additions to be made during the year.
The slicing season began in Cali
fornia about the middle of June and
the company is confident that at its
California and Colorado plnts it Will
output close to 1,S70,O00 bags of su-
gar. It should be remembered, how
ever, that beet sugar companies ship
their product in 100 and not 32O-pound
bags as is the case with the Cuban
cane sugar producers.
At the same time a production of
1877, ,OOO,0 900 pounds of sugar this year
would be a new high record in the
company's history and would probably
give gross earnings of $S,000,0O0 or
better and the management is conf
dent that for the fiscal year net profits
for the common of at least $1,50O,O0O
will be realized, equal to 10 per cent.
This compares with shore earnings of
7.3 per cent in the 1910 fiscal year
and of bout 1.5 per cent no onger
