CARTER JONES IS
For ANNEXATION
WOULD SEE OAK GROVE, SWANS
BORD AND FOREST HILL
TAKEN IN BY CITY.

Annexation is the principal topic OF
conversation and dispute on the
Southside.
Those who fought for annexation
in the first place are anxious to have
Swansboro, Oak Grove, Forest Hill
and Woodland Heights added to the
population. The people who did not
, want annexation are against 1t on
general principles
The people OF all of those outposts,
however, want TO get on the band
wagon, and they have, by a large
majority, signed papers, which are
now before the city council, asking
to be taken in, and taken in quick.
Councilman Carter Jones is a ram
pant annexationist He wants to see
his city up In the bunch of big towns
He Is anxious to get the folks from
upper Hull street and those 10 the
north and to the south, as well as
those to the east and the west to come
IN and be big folks.
And the folks" seem to be that
way too.
At any rate Councilman Carter c.
Jones is in the running for annexa-
ton, and when the committee on an
nexation Is formed by the two presi-
dents OF the branches Of the city
council, there Is little DOUBT TOUT thdt
Mr. Jones will have something to say
ard something to do.
At the last meeting of council II
was determined to appoint a special
committee on annexation. This COM
rnittee is to consist of seven men,
three from the board or aldermen,
and four from the common council
The people of the Southside, as
well as those from the territory which
desires TO be annexed. would like 10
see Mr.. Jones on this committee
The committee will not be named
until the meeting of the board OF al
dermen on next Tuesday night Both
Mr. Adams. Of the board, and Mr.
Peters, of the common council, VIII
consider we'll their appointments, and
will name men who are conversant
with suburban situations. This is a
foregone conclusion.

MEXICO WILL SEND
NEW AMBASSADOR

ME&ICO CITY. Jan. THE resig-
nation OF Manuel Calero as amhas~
sador TO the United States has been
accepted by President Madero. No
successor to Calero has AS yet been
named but Senior Carbaja chief jus
tice OF the Supreme court, who liz now
on leave og absence and who is spend
Ing his time studying English, is re-
garded as the most likely candidate.
The government today furnished
protection to the railroad shops at
San Luis Potosi which may ease the
situation as the cessation of the
freight service has brought about a
serious shortage of meat and other
provisions in the capital.
There are numerous optimistic re-
ports concerning the revolution. but
they are apparently without founda-
ton. as conditions are as bad as
ever.

MoLEsTED.

NEW YORK, Jan. THE dead
lock In the garment strike situation
In the city continued today with both
sides emphatic in their statements that
the strike would be broken in another
week. Leaders OF both forces declared
that they would be the victors.
At the headquarters Of the strikers IL
was said that @ number of manufac-
turers not connected with either of the
trade associations had acduiesced to
the demands Of the unions and their
plants would be running within few
days. The names Of the companies
who are said TO have struck their
colors were not given out.
on the other hand, Eugene +. Ben
jamin. president OF the New York
Clothing Trade association said that
many of the striking men and women
had begged to be taken back. He
would not give the names of the manu-
facturers TO whom the workers had
asked to be taken back, as this infor-
nation in the hands OF the union
might cause serious annoyance to the
employers,
Will Disregard Union.
Mr.. Benjamin said that the d1er-
berg of his association would willing
~ listen to any alleged grievances
from their employee. individually but
they would not treat with the union.
Several meetings were held by man
ufacturers yesterday with the idea Of
forming a powerful trade organization
to resist the strikers.
The officers OF the new organization
propose to work with the New York
Clothing Trade association which, al
though consisting of a small MEM
bership, is composed of the biggest
concerns.
Charges that the employers were
hiring thugs and strong arm men to
assault the pockets were made at
strike headquarters. To substantiate
this claim, letters purporting to have
been written by certain detective agen-
oies TO manufacturers were shown.
The letters will be turned over to
Deputy State Comptroller Frazer,
with the request that an investigation
be commenced TO learn whether the
detective agencies are violating their
licenses by offering TO supply what
the strike leaders describe as thugs"
No Serious Disturbances.
Three disturbances. none Of them
serious, occurred today The biggest
took place in Cooper Square, when ef-
forts were made to get number OF
the employees in Browning. King q,
Company 10 join the ranks OF the
strikers.
When words failed. bricks and bot
ties were thrown and in a few min
utss the square was mass of fighting
men and women. Policemen from the
| Mercer Street station dispersed the
warriors,
About o'clock another disturbance
occurred in front OF the factory Of
| j. Fl. Tyler g. Company. Broadway and
Fourth street. where the fierce bat

cept for few umbrellas being
