Gives Several Anecdotes.

Secretary Bryan illustrated the points
of his address by anecdotes of Dr.
Francis and instances of the personal
side Of the man In whose honor the
meeting was held. declaring that
neither wealth. personal appearance.
mental attainments or political prefer
ment, in the final reckoning. count in
establishing the actual greatness of
man as posterity will regard him.
Roscoe Conkling Bruce, president of
the board of trustees of the colored
social settlement. speaking Of the
achievements Of men in whose veins
flowed African blood, dwelt on the
work for the uplift of his own race
which constitutes the greatest monu-
ment to the memory of DR.. Francis.
Young people Of the colored race, he
urged, should not be permitted to
dwell on the prestige of the white race,
but should be taught from the ex-
amples of such men as Dumas. Push
kin, Taylor, Paul Lawrence Dunbar,
Frederick Douglass and others of their
own race. The life Of DR.. Francis, with
it's record of achievement as social
worker, educator and physician, he de-
clared, constituted an example to the
race as illustrating it's capabilities for
human usefulness and the truest great
ness.

REEVES PREDICTION.
Counsel For Woman Resume Argu-
ments Before Caminetti and Ask
For Her Release.

Washington, Oct. 20.--A double in.
quiry in Washington today will dis
pose of the case of Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst, English militant, knock
ing at the doors Of this country for adj
mission, so far as the executive branch
of the government is concerned, a
hearing before Commissioner General
of immigration Caminettl this morn
ing being the first, followed by con-
ference at the White House.
Although Mr.. Caminetti claimed
that he had no knowledge of any con-
ference to be held at the White House
today regarding the Pankhurst case,
he did not expect to see President
Wilson in regard to the matter, it was
confidently expected by those in close
touch with the situation that the mat
ter would not be finally disposed Of
unil President Wilson had talked with
Secretary of Labor Wilson, or Cami-
netti.
Before the commissioner generals
finding in the case becomes effective
it must be approved by the Secretary
of Labor, who has the power to re-
verse any previous finding.
"Mrs .Pankhurst will be released
from Ellis Island today in time to
eat dinner in New York City. have
no fear that she will not appear in
Madison Square Garden tonight"
That was the prediction made by
Herbert Reeves, attorney for the Eng
lish militant just before the opening
of the formal hearing before Com
missioner General of immigration
Camnetti this morning, at which it
was expected that he would definitely
decide the case of Mrs. Pankhurst, as
far as the Department of Labor was
concerned.

TO BE FAR-REACHING.


Important legal points bearing on
the whole question Of annexing of
territory to cities and which may have
a far-reaching effect in the final deter
mination of the problem in Richmond
are to be passed upon by the Su-
preme Court of Appeals of Virginia.
AS was stated in the Gazette on Sat
urGay an appeal was granted by Judge
Keith in the case of the City of Alex
andria against Alexandria county and
Fairfax county from decree of the
Circuit Court of Alexandria county,
in which the annexation petitioned for
was refused.
The council of the City of Alexan-
dria adopted an annexation ordinance
which was approved by the Mayor on
December 20, 1911. In accordance
! with the law governing annexation,
the city on June 81, 1912, moved the
Circuit Court of Alexandria county,
n which county the greater part OF
the territory proposed to he annexed
lies. to order the annexation of the
territory described In accordance
with law, which prohibits the local
Judges from sitting in such cases, the
Governor designated Judge Bennett /:
Gordon, of the circuit composed Of
Amherst. Fluvanna and Nelson coun-
ties,to hear the case in vacation. Fhe
proceeding was argued and submitted
on November Ia, 1912. and the Judge
on January Is, 1919. entered an order
.Gsmissing the motion and denying the
request of the City of Alexandria for
additional territory.
From that order the city appeals.
The record in the case is one Of tn"
most voluminous that has come before
the Supreme Court in some time. Bond
in the sum of $4,000 was required by
Judge Keith. The city's petition was
presented by John NJ Johnson,
