About the first words the boot
blacks of Vera Cruz learned from
Americans were swear words. 1t is
the custom of the little fellows to in
terrupt the conversations of plaza
diners by offering their services or
wares and not to depart until the
diners order them to go, with the
word, "vamoos."
When the soldiers came the pesti-
lential little chaps very soon picked
up the phrase Get to hell out OF
here and, within a few days, when
customer tried to tell them, in de-
cent phrases, that they were not
wanted, the boys, in departing would
say "get to hell out of here" evident
ly thinking it meant "goodby." "All

ARGUMENT HAS BEGUN
IN ANNEXAT ION CASE
Judge Campbell Limits Talk by
Counsel for City and County
TO -Four Hours.
COLONEL ANDERSON OPENS
Accused by Cabell of Uttering "Un-
TRUTH" and Latter Is Taken to
Task by City Attorney-Garnett
to Present Ginter Parks Claim.

Judge Campbell. sitting in the an
neXation case now being argued in
the Henrico County Circuit Court. yes
terday limited the argument OF the
city and county to four hours each,
and that OF the individual interests to
one-half hour each. AS the city and
county consumed about two hours each
of their allotted time yesterday, il is
hoped that the argument may be closed
this afternoon, but this is uncertain,
because of the doubt as to how many
of the special interests will be repre-
scented.
Considerable confusion was caused
during the argument of Assistant City
Attorney Anderson when he was in
terrupted by Royal T.. Cabell, who de-
clared that certain statements made
by the attorney We're untrue He was
given opportunity to qualify this, and
when he reiterated the charges. the
City Attorney turned to him with a
sharp injunction to he careful in the
use OF the word untrue
COLONEL ANDERSON OPENS
ARGUMENT FOR CITY
Colonel Anderson began the argu-
ment for the city. and used about two
hours In calling the attention of
the court to the fact that all necessary
laws for annexation and the terms of
the annexation were on the statute
and ordinance books, and in reiterat-
ing the city's claims as to the need of
additional territory.
Commonwealth Attorney Frank r.
Sutton was the next to speak. and he
consumed the afternoon session in
emphasizing the hardships which an
neXation might work upon Henrico
County, and in again stating that
Richmond was not in need OF expan-
sion for the purpose of building homes
for the workingmen. because of the
fact that a portion of Fulton Hill and
the neighboring territory was not
built up.
1t is probable that Attorney C. b.
Garnett, representing Gintef Park, will
argue this morning, and that Attorney
G. V. Meredith may argue for other
interests. Richard Evelyn Byrd and
Fl. NJ. Smith, Jr., will conclude the
argument for the county. and City At
torney Pollard will close for the city.
Judge Campbell will take the case un-
der advisement before rendering an
opinion.

RENEWED F|RMNESS IN COTTON MARKET
July and August Contracts Make New High Ground.
 General Tendency Up

New York, April 22.-Cotton showed re- newed firmness today with July and Au- gust contracts making new high ground for the movement and selling several points above the best level reached on the advance earlier In the month. Ret- crated predictions that q continued ac- tive distribution would result in a natural cotton corner this summer and aggressive support of July contracts from supposedly bullish sources. combined with unsettled weather southwest which some ap1re- hended might be followed by cold snap. seemed to be factors on the ad- vance. Realizing was heavy enough to cause some little irregularity, but reces- sions were limited and the general ten- dency of prices was upward. with the close firm at a net advance of to -4 points.
 The market opened steady at an rd- vance of 1 to points on overnight buy ing orders and in sympathy with steady Liverpool cables. At first the support was not very aggressive, but Liverpoo; was a buyer of near months here, end as prices worked higher, recent sellers seemed to become more uneasy.
 The unsettled weather was considered likely to cause further delays in tarm work and while local traders thought that late start with the crop might not neces- sarily mean a short yield. it seemed to be apprehended that light new crop movement during July and August would strengthen the old crop position. On this basis the less favorable view of the weather probably contributed as much to the demand for July and August as for new crop positions, and as July held above the high level of April 8. stop orders were uncovered.
 Closing prices were at practically the best point of the day In addition 70 Liverpool buying prominent local and southern operators were credited with supporting July and August. Bullish esti- mates of the weeks into sight movement doubtless encouraged the talk of a strengthening statistical position, while there was no change of sentiment regard ing the Mexican situation.

GOOD SH0W|NG|N
 THE STOCK MARKET No Evidence of Nervousness Displayed-Losses Can
 celed in Most Cases

New York. April 22.-Despite the open ing of hostilities with Mexico, the stock market today made a good showing. At no time was there any evidence of nerv- ousness. Trading was quieter than yes- terday. At the opening prices were barely changed, in spite of lower scale in London. After an hour the market weak ened With no increase in activity. prices fell away until a number of important issues were 1 to 3 points lower There the movement stopped. In the afternoon business was dull, and toward the close a recovery set in. At the end of the day losses were cancelled in most cases.
 Mexican news overshadowed everything else, but the street was not ready to pass judgment on the influence of this new factor It was felt that the effect would depend upon future developments. Should long and costly conflict with Mexico ensue, involving large government loans and great destruction of property, the stock market undoubtedly would register it's influence. Spectators inclined to op- timistic views. however, felt that, in the event of speedy collapse of resistance on Mexico's part, the market would bene- fit.
 A few stocks were weak. Canadian Pa cfic at one time was more than points lower. Kansas and Texas common and preferred reached the bottom figures Tor several. years, although news of the pass ing of the preferred dividend was not re- ceived until after the market closed

M., K. & T. ROAD TO
 PASS DIVIDEND

New York, April 22.-Directors of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway today decided to pass the 2 per cent semi-annual dividend on the preferred stock.
 It was the opinion of the directors that on account of the adverse effect upon earnings caused by the exten- sive drouth in the southwest of last
 July and August and the Texas floods of November and December 1t would not be prudent at this time to decla re the dividend. This had seriously inter- rupted traffic and greatly increased the cost of operation. Missouri, Kansas and Texas preferred had paid per cent annually since 1908. Today 1t dropped to S6A, the lowest
 since 1904.

ROCK OF AGES
An Interesting Story of It's origin

Augustus Montague Toplady, born at Farnham, County of Surrey, England. in TAO. was the son of British of ficer, who was ordered on Admiral Vernon's disastrous expedition, and fell in battle before Cartagena, in what is now Colombia, sometime in 1741 -42. Converted at the age of 16 through hearing an illiterate but powerful dis senting preacher, in a country barn. he studied at Trinity college. Dublin, and became a very able and esteemed min ister of the Church of England. but his constant labor impaired his health, and he removed, to London. where in the Gospel Messenger" of March. 177i he published a peculiar aticle. eny titled. questions and Answers Rela- tive to the National Debt in which by statistics and argument he demon- strated what an enormous debt of sin and misery rested upon the shoulders of the human race. He was then a confirmed invalid, and while feeling the immense burder laid upon the should CTS of the Redeemer of the world, and his own approaching death. he com posed the hymn on which his personal memory will rest for centuries to come.
 He died in London in 1778, great ly lamented and esteemed, despite Il certain asperity in controversy, due to strong convictions and physical infirm- tiles.
 This hymn of worldwide popularity is included in "Heart Songs" on page 421.
