AFTERNOON PAPER

John Hirschberg, candidate for
mayor. yesterday filed suit Tor dam
ages in the sum of $40, 900 in the law
and equity court, against twenty seven
weIl-known Richmond citizens who
signed an advertisement in the New
Leader Tuesday, afternoon, and against
the newspaper itself. The platntin Is
represented by Williams & Bethel
The following statement in the ad-
vertisement Is the basis of complaint:
In the recent influenza epidemic
nothing was omitted that would have
a favorable influence, nor was any
thing unnecessary done. The extra
cost was $1,000. though an emer-
gency appropriation of $4,000 was
available. The administrative board.
headed by Mr.. Hirschberg, made no
adequate provision for the first in
huenza epidemic: was given SIS. 900
by the city council, used 1t all. and
left $1,000 unpaid obligations as a
legacy to the present administration"
The offense committed. according
to the complainant, is that he was not
only not chairman of the administra-
tive board at the time of the influenza
epidemic. He had resigned ard be-
come labor commissioner for the state
Of Virginia, which position he now
holds.
Mr. H}rSchoarg charges th7t the IN
tent of the whole article was to iniuro
nm, to weaken as prestige and es-
tir1ation b. te people OF Richmond.
Mayor Ainslie made a correction in
this newspaper Wednesday morning.
in which he said he did not believe the
twenty-seven citizens who signed the
article intended to do an injustice to
MI. Hirschberg.
Those signing the article were: r. T

Kearney Ranchmen
Give Up Chickens
To Raise Rabbits

Ed Powell came in from the 1888"
ranch near kearney Saturday. with
a load of cattle that brought $3.50
hundred, which is considered good
for the class that made up the herd.
According to Powell, the 1873"
ranch got its name from the fact
that it is located at a point 1888
miles from either Boston or San
Francisco The ranch originally
consisted OF 5000 acres. but has
been reduced to l,640, and is de-
voted to the raising of pure bred
cattle OF all breeds.
Mr.. Powell said a number OF
ranchers near Kearney had given
up raising chickens and are devot-
ing their time to the raising of rab
bits as substitute. They say rab-
bits can be fed at considerable less
than chickens and point out that the
meat of rabbit is more delectablc
than chicken.
