WATSON EXPECTS

According to Congressman Walter
A. Watson. of the Fourth District, who
dropped in yesterday to see Governor
talk OF factional lighting i'm the Vir-
ginia delegation over the appointment
of Dr.. Thomas Nelson Page or Colonel
Joseph t. Willard to diplomatic posts.
The delegation, as such, said the Con-
gresham. has not considered the mat
ter OF supporting either aspirant. and
whatever presentments that have been
made to the presidential ear by mem
bers of the Virginia delegation have
been offered as individuals.
Contrary to the general expectation.
Judge Watson does not look for both
men TO be assigned to the foreign
service. In spite of the seeming scar
city of desirable ambassadorial ma
terial, he believes tina. there are too
many candidates for diplomatic honors
from other States for Virginia to be
signally honored by having two Of her
sons sent to represent this country
abroad. No members OF the Virgin
delegation. he thinks. seriously expects
both DR.. Page and Colonel willard to

Congressman Watson candidly comes
out in support of DR.. Page for the
European post. generally conceded TO
be coming to Virginia. and says that
he has written the President in the
interest Of the distinguished author.
Il have Endorsed DR.. Page" said
Congressman Watson yesterday. mot
because of any personal feeling against
Colonel willard or any lack Of belief
in his capability to worthily represent
this country abroad. 1t is my honest
belief that DIR. Page has earned such
an honor by his literary and historical
contributions. and is unusually fitted
by nature and training for diplomatic
duty. I take no stock in the talk of
his not being in sympathy with tho
administrations policies.
I'm case. however, 1t should become
apparent that DR.. Page cannot obtain
the appointment. would unhesi-
tatingly. and with the greatest pleas
ure. lend my support to Colonel Will
lard for the position"
The Congressman went on TO say
that while he did not expect to hear
of any definite action Immediately. he
thought that President Wilson would
probably settle the matter by making
an appointment within week or ten
days.

WILL VISIT SOUTHSIDE
Administrative Board VIII study
Where to Spenu Money.

Where to Spend Money.
For the purpose of studying the
needs of the various sections of South
Richmond, the Administrative Board
will pay an official visit to the South
side tomorrow afternoon. The mem :
members will be accompanied on the
tour by the Councilmcn who reside in
this part of the city.
One of the chief objects of the in :
spection is to ascertain in what man
ner to spend the street money for the
coming year. by the terms of the
annexation agreement. 80 per cent of
all revenues from old Manchester are
to be used for permanent street i'm
provements. For two years after con-
solidation the Southside was ward
in itself. and the spending of the money
was left to the discretion of the ward
delegation.
Last year total of $4,000 was col
lected by Deputy Treasurer j. ". Bro
nough, making the share OF the South
side about $4,000. With the balance
remaining unspent from tho preceding
year, there Is now nearly $4,000 for
use in South Richmond. Until after
all sewers gas and water mains are
underground. no paving will be laid.
Purchasing Material for Line.
Material for the construction of the
Hull Street extension of the Virginia
Railway and Power Company is being
purchased. While officials of the COM
pany are unable to state the exact
date for starting the work, il is prob
able that ground will be broken in
less than six weeks. In the franchise
granted by the Chesterfield Board of
Supervisors. the company was given
six months I'm which to begin work.
This time limit expires In May Chief
Engineer t. n. Jones stated last night
that several other pieces of work will
be done this spring. and that when the
extension is started the work will be
rushed to completion. The line can
easily be completed in sixty days. 1t
