WIND PLAYS TRICK
ON JOE KESSN|CH
BANDMASTER'S NEW SUMMER
BONNET FLOATS AWAY ON
THE DREAMY JAMES.

II anybody sees a perfectly good
gentleman's straw bonnet OF the vim
tage of 1914 floating down the James
river they are requested to rescue it
and return IL to Bandmaster Joe
Kessnich. 903 East Clay street, city,
who will pay a liberal reward for the
service.
It's right sad tale.
Bandmaster kessnich was crossing
the James yesterday on a street car
when q treacherous breeze gently lift
ed his headgear and deposited it in
the whirlpool below where IL danced
gaily downstream on the hooking cur
rent. Only a week ago he paid So
for 1.-THE last two-spot he possessed
It was one OF the ventilated garnet
type Of the latest style and Mr. Kess-
mich was very proud of il. Yes
terday he was forced to go bare headed
because he has nothing left but his
old band cap.
There is only one relief in sight
now--that Is the benefit excursion
which the Municipal band rams to
jamestown Island Sunday. If the pa
tronage is generous and a sufficient
number OF Richmouders take in the
big family excursion he expects to be
able to save enough out of the rem
nants To buy another straw bonnet
In the meantime the reward for the
missing headgear is outstanding, and
MIR. Kessnich has not entirely aban-
doned hope OF recovering his precious
property.

and places for the homes of working
men. and agreed that the city should
have some additional territory, but
he could not say that he believed the
wholesale taking in would be good
for either the city or the cpunty.
The last witness yesterday after
noon was "A. Rosenbaum a property
holder OF both Richmond and
Henrico. He said that he opposed
any further annexation, because he
had not yet received any returns from
the annexation of 1906, and had been
unable to dispose of a number of lots
he owned, In the Paramount section.
III the city would only do some
thing" witness said, II would not OBJ

no improvements since the city took
the property eight years ago"

Should you not report enough

Annexation has now reached the
crucial stage. With one more wit
ness Tor the county, and a paper for
the county to be submitted to Judge
Campbell this morning. all the evil
dence will have been in, and argu-
= ments will begin --,------------------.
For nearly a month the hearings
nave been going on. Richmond has
introduced evidence in the shape of
statistics and persons, to show that
the best good for the greatest number
will result from the annexation as
proposed by the city council, while
Henrico county has contributed to
the time and attention Of the Judge
many figures and witnesses to show
that the proposed annexation Ia not
good thing for either Richmond or
the county, in that the city has not
made improvements TO property taken
in by annexation eight years ago, and
that II the territory now proposed Is
granted by the judge, the county will
have much trouble in meeting its
obligations.
II has been shown that the
schools Of the county will be, prac-
tically depopulated by annexation,
while some Of the buildings. which
cost much money, will be left upon
the hands OF the county. 1t was
suggested that in taking in the schol-
ars, the school buildings should, also,
be made a part of the city
Citizens Protest.
A number of citizens now within
the city limits have protested that
they have not received the attention
from the city commensurate with
what they had expected. and entered
their protest against further annexa-
ton until the territory already with
In the bounds had been taken care
OF by the city.
One IF the principal witnesses of
the morning session was Colonel @.
Percy Halves. erstwhile one of the
most patriotic citizens of Richmond,
and who would almost have fought
any one who said anything about his
home town.
He astontshed many OF his friends
when he said that the city streets and
the city water were in deplorable
condition. According to the state
n1ent IF Colonel Hawes mud ran knee
deep in most Of the streets OF Rich
