A Nevada auto owner stopped at
the curb this morning and carefully
blanketed his engine hood, says Mon
days Post. Just behind the machine
another driver stopped his horse and
left it uncovered and trembling with
cold. Each hair of the animal was
standing straight in a futile attempt to
keep the body warm and shivers
were chasing each other in little
waves over his shoulders and thighs.
In the patient suffering eyes there
was a sermon on humanity infinitely
more eloquent than ever preached
from pulpit. The thing we need is
domestic animal which will crack by
exposure to cold.

The Chicago Federation of Labor
has entered the fight to save the con-

mite cases. The following letter was
sent to U. S. Senator James Hamilton
Lewis yesterday:
"The Hon. James Hamilton Lewis:
Please ask solicitor general or, if nee
essary, the president to stay taking
out mandate in the case of Ryan and
others until counsel for the accused
with your help and that of Senator
Kern may present an application for
pardon to the president. We feel that
a terrible injustice was done to the
men and that they did not have trial
in accordance with the law of the
land. Kindly wire us if this request is
granted. ,

LEGISLATURE MAY
HALT ANNEXATION
OPPOSITION TO ANNEXATION Is
HEARD BEFORE SENATE
COMMITTEE.
ON WENDENBURG BILL
BILL ITSELF TO COME BEFORE
COMMITTEE TOMORROW MORN
ING AND IN HOUSE NEXT
THURSDAY.

Unless the people of the county OF
Henrico residing in the territory which
the city of Richmond desires to make
a part of the city bestir themselves
there is chance that the Legislature
will prevent the city from taking in
the territory which is hers by right
of proximity and close trade relations.
The senate committee for counties,
city and town organizations yesterday
held a meeting and heard from Sem
ator wendenburg. the patron OF the
measure, and Clerk Samuel p. Wad-
dill. also of the county of Henrico. az
well as from the chairman OF the
board of supervisors.
They are all opposed TO the city taxi
ing in the territory of the county.
The bill which Senator Wendenburg
has presented provides that no terri
tory shall be annexed by a city at
any time when as much as rs per cent
of the taxable values embraced in the
area to be annexed objects and that
once the territory has been excluded
by court action 1t shall not again be
considered by any court for annexa-
ton until five years shall have elapsed.
For Hearing Tomorrow.
And under the terms of the bill there
ia no way whereby the annexation
could be accomplished. for the reason
that the territory in question COM
prises about twenty-five per cent. pos
sibly more, of the county's taxable
values. really a part OF the city. and
the bill provides that II shall apply
to all litigation now pending or which
may hereafter be Instituted.
This bill is to come up for a hear
ing "Wednesday morning before the
same committee. at which time it is
the desire of the city attorney and
others that all parties interested in
the proceedings shall be on hand to
speak for annexation. It is particu-
Iarly desired that the towns of High
land Park. Barton Heights. Ginter
Park and other suburbs shall be on
hand with full delegations to advocate
the measure and TO show the impera-
tive need for the city acquiring the
territory.
There is a similar bill in the house
of delegates. which Is to be heard
Thursday morning. but the first fight
must come before the senate commit
tee on Wednesday morning.
