TO HOLD JOINT meeting
~
Members of Finance and General
Laws Committee Hold Informal
Conference Last Night.

President F. F, Marbury, of the
Board of Aldermen, has issued a call
for a special meeting of the two
branches of City Council for 7:3O
o'clock tomorrow night, for the pur-
pose of taking up the question of
whether or not the city shall appeal
the annexation case just decided
against Alexandria, by Judge Bennett
T. Gordon, of Nelson county, Va.
At this meeting it is supposed that
definite plans on this matter will be
decided upon.
At an Informal discussion on the
matter between the members of the
Finance and General Laws Committee
and attorneys. for the city last night
it was concluded that it would be best
to call joint session of the two
boards at which time the attorneys
:or the city could make their report to
Council and advise in regard to the
matter. 1t is probable that the at
sorneys will recommend that the case
,e promptly appealed, and it is the
general opinion among the citizens
hat such action should be taken.

ture of the present Mexican warfare
conveyed in private information to
members of the Senate committee on
foreign relations today. Flaming
with industrial revolt, which is in
spired by widespread faith in the Ma

publis are declared to be beyond the
power either of contral of the Madero

Senator Smith of Michigan, chair
man of the sub committee which has
been investigating Mexican troubles,
upon his return from Ell Pasco re-
fused today to discuss: the situation
beyond expressing the belief that no
report or resolutions would be brought
into the Senate, dealing with the sub
jet at present. He said that he had
talked with member of the Madero
cabinet, but declined to comment on
TIE hope of official Mexico that will
be put down.
According however to the informa-
ton received by the committee men,
bcrs. the Madero regime is doomed.
Al of the abuses which led to the
overthrow of Diaz's ownership of the
land by a. few immensely favoritss of
the government, and practical en-
slavement of large proportion of the
people are continud today. Worst Of
all the "Hannequin" plantations of Yu

profits going into a few hands. 1t is
in this region that the rebels are COM
mitting the most terrible barbarities
upon the landowners whom they cap
tire. Usually the rebels are former
S! ives of the district.
The committee learns further that
Mldero and his advisers refuse to sur
render any of their lands, or to re-
store civil rights to the people, for
fear that this concession will only
hasten their fall.
Leaders in the present movement
arc said to be Ragon, Sarabia, and

SUES FOR LOSS OF BRIDES LOVE
Clarence Womeldorf, Who Institutes
Proceedings Against Mother
in-Law For SIS 900.

Staunton, Va, Jan. ga sensa-
:ional alienation suit, in which a large
number of persons hereare interested,
has Just been instituted by Clarence
Womeldorf, of Lexington, Va, form
er student of business college here,
apinst the mother Of his heiress-bride.
Mrs. Frances Boss, widow of Charles
Boss, a wealthy brewer of Cincin-
natl, Ohio.
1t is contended that the bride, who
was Miss Nora Boss, 20 years old,
:cparated from her husband because
he could not dive amid the luxury and
splendor his young wife had enjoyed
throughout her girlhood days.
Womeldolf, "a years old, who is
suing Mrs Boss for s25. 900, was a
waiter in Cincinnati restaurant in

her freuently had their meals. The
girl became acquainted with the hand

became engaged.

ed Jan. g. They seemed extremely
happy for a few days, but the bride
ascertained facts as to her husbands
salary. She says he told her he re-
ceived from $40 to S25 week and said
he was able to support a wife. She
later learned, it is alleged, that ne re-
ceived only s35 month.
The bride then instituted suit for
divorce, after having been married
only thirteen days. A few days later
her husband consulted lawyer, and
has filed suit against the mother-ln-
law, charging her. with alternating his
wife's affections, and alleging that he
has suffered such modification by the
charges contained in the divorce pa
pers that he was forced to give up his
| position as a waiter. r'E"
,,Womeldorf says his father owns a
large farm near Lexington, Va; ano
he wanted the heiress-bride to 60
there on: honeymoon.
The bride charges failure to sup
port and extreme cruelty, and says
rshe was forced to-leaxe the furnished
room, at 1889 ,Kemperlane, ,whichashe
and her husband .ocnupied, and 2returr

Democrat and labor leader, was urged
for the position to succeed Col. Lewis

pointed by a Republican Governor
The PresiGent-elect told the delegation
he recognized the force of their argu-

had performed his duties faithfully
