Asks Reconsideration


After the Chair had announced that tn
order had been passed. Mr.. Smith of Pat
ten moved reconsideration of the vote.
An objection was at once made by MI
Seates. who declared that the gentlema
from Patten had made dllatory mo
ton. In the first place, said M
Scates, "the question is out of order. y,
question to reconsider is in order unit
the whole is finished"
Mr.. Smith insisted that this was an in
dependent proposition and a ruling wa
made by the Chair allowing that a recon
sideration of the vote was in order.
"It is plain what the object of this mo
ton is said Mr. Newbert 1.-THE Chat
has great power to rule. but he has M
power to change the vote of this House
He then gave notice that the votes of tn,
four men in question, If they were cas-
| for United States senator, would be pro
tested.
Mr. Smith of Patten wanted the uues
ton opened so that the brothers ma
have a chance to argue it-so that tn
claims, rights and privileges of these
gentlemen may be made known. Their
should be full understanding of tn
facts. The statement has been made tina

Mr. Smith spoke of the fact that tn

Preserve Our Historic Properties.

To the Editor OF The Times Dispatch:
Sir.--As citizen of Richmond
journinG on the coast OF New Eng
land I desire TO commend your edito-
rial OF few days ago in which you
express the fear that there Is danger
of our city losing much OF her individ-
uality in her onward march of prog
ress.
think you do we'll in calling atten-
ton to that matter. for to my mind
It Is of more Importance than some Of
us at home think. 1t seems that many
Of our people are willing to SEQ Rich
mond just one OF the ordinary cities
like hundreds OF others throughout the
country, without thought of trying
to preserve that charm and indiviG-
uality that has made her unique among
all the others. and which brings in
our midst thousands of people annual
ly. Anybody can have Il modern city,
with it's skyscrapers-one just like tho
other. But 1t falls 40 the lot OF few
places to have the opportunity which
is ours. of preserving the many places
of historic interest which we seem so
lightly to appreciate. and which we
so often ruthlessly destroy. ] claim
to be a progressive citizen. and glory
IN Richmonds progress. Yet. while
we are progressing, pulling down and
building up. I am old fogy enough to
l old fast to everything Of historic in
terest that we may have some differ
emit"
Aside from sentimentality. it is good
business. Your editorial came to me
just as I was observing how the New
England people set such store to every
thing connected with their history. And
they make the most OF 1t, too. They
cannot begin to show what we could
If we would, yet stranger In these
parts Is never allowed to forget Paul
Reveres Ride" Tho House OF Seven
Gables" or the "Old Witch House."
Every rock on which one OF her great
men over sat, or tree that sheltered
him from the storm, is held sacred and
preserved with the utmost care.
I thought: suppose Edgar Allan Poo
had been a New England poet? Would
they destroy n building in which he
did much OF his WORT! Yet, that Is
what I understand we propose to do
with the building at the corner OF FIJI
tecnth and Main Streets. in which
believe his office was located. IF the
street has to be widowed why couldn't
| this old house be preserved-even IL
7 1t has TO be moved to some place as
near the SPOT rs possible?
And is 1t too much to hope that the
lot on which Is located a remnant of
Confederate breastwovks on Monument
Avenue may be acquired and preserved
to us?
Looking at these matters from a cold
business viewpoint, think they are
