other big mass meeting will be held
Monday night at o'clock at the
courthouse in the South Side city.
Mr. Charles L. Page, former city at
torney, will continue his discussion
of the ordinance providing for the
union and attempt tc show why the
merger will not benefit the smaller
city. On this subject Mr.. Page spoke
last Thursday night before an assem-
bly, of several hundred citizens. The
meeting Monday night promises to
be well attended. Mr.. Page told a
reporter for The yirginian that he
2sgu speak exfemporaneonsly. and
urges all citizens Interested in the
issue, whether for or against annex
alton. to be present.
Mr.. b. Nj. Robertson. president OF
the club, will preside and introduce
the speaker. Only one address IL
scheduled.
MIR. y. l.. Toney. president of the
Manchester Consolidation Club, stated
Monday that there will be no meeting
of his Organization until next Friday
night
People Thoroughly Aroused.
Annexation continues to occupy the
sole atteStion of all Manchesterians
and neither is willing to concede thai
the other side has any advantage.
Both the proconsolidationists and
Observation-Disclosures continue steadily
at work in an effort to secure votes
which will be cast In the special cleo
ton to be held April 4.

it's states that from this time on the
members of the anti-consoiidation
club will be unusually active, and
end. just before election day. with a
whirlwind effort TO defeat the project
to become Washington ward of Rich
nond.
Until an early hour Monday after
noon no exception had been filed in
the Manchester Corporation Court tc
the order issued by Judge Christian
of Lynch burg. setting the special efec-
ton day, though rumors to the effect
that this would be done have beer
heard. However. 1t Is not believed
that those oppose consolidation will
take this step, but VIII make every
effort to defeat the scheme in the
special election.
1t has been persistently reported
that the anti-annexattonists would
take legal action to have the order
Of Judge Christian set aside by Judge
Wells. hut apparently these rumors
have no foundation.
Preparing for Election.
City Sergeant Saunders Is now max
ing preparations for the election &C.
cording to the writ of the Lynch
burg judge, who sat In vacation and
issued the order last Friday.
The registration lists show about
seven hundred and fifty qualified vot-

about six hundred and fifty ballots
will be cast. or this number both
sides claim a good majority.

TRAINING HERE TODAY

Frank Gotch is due to start his
training In Chicago today. Word to
this effect was received vest erday by
the Empire Athletic club, which is
staging the worlds championship
wrestling match between the giant
Iowan and Zbyszko June l. Gotch has
been working at Minneapolis and needs
but little more hard training to put
him in ffrst-class condition
II expect to win in two straight
falls" said Zbyszko yesterday. "Gotch's
toe hold has no terrors for me. He'll
never throw me with 1t. no matter how
much he tries. I am of the opinion that
the American people have overesti-
mated the champions prowess."
The Empire club yesterday issued a
statement offering TO refund the mon
ey of all ticket purchasers for the pro-
posed contest al the White Sox park
who did not care to exchange them for
tickets for the Coliseum show. The

Mahan, twirler for Berien Springs, was

against Mathewson, for the twirler
stayed thirteen innings to beat the To-
Gals. Poor Christy must have an awful
lame arm, although he finished the
game with Pittsburg yesterday There
