that both my husband and always
expected that America would help Us
very greatly in winning our freedom

Policy Of Repr;sol Is
Denounced by Asnuith

LONDON, Dec. "A resolution re-
cording detestation Of the murders Of
police and soldiers in Ireland. deplor-
ing the failure of the government TO
secure conviction of the murderers
and provide for the protection of it's
servants, and condemning as i'm
moral and ineffective the policy of
reprisals which has involved revenge
upon tne innocent for the sins of the
guilty, was passed in the course Of a
demonstr tration at Albert Hall TO-DAY
rormer Premier Asquith was the prin-
cipal speaker
The resolution also calls on the gov
ernment to 'a6andon all attempts TO
repNess CRIME by crime" and demands
immediate action TO restore the su-
premacy of law and order and to Sc
cure the pacihcation OF ireland and
Its reconciliation with England.
Mr Asquith spoke strongly against
the. numbering Of policemen and sol
dlers and the "lawless excesses which
We're allowed to be pelpetrated bv Of.
iicers.' Hhe declared that the noljce
and soldiers had reason to believe the
method Of indiscriminate retaliation
was regarded in highest quarters as n
thing to be looked upon without undue
dlsfavor, pointing out that in not a
single case had there been exemplary
punishment.

The outstanding feature in the situa
non IS the growing efficiency and power

the government feels that it is on the
nigh road to victory, but so far as the
casual observer can see the resistance
OF Slnn Fein is not diminishing.

normal, which means that since the

the procession were more than five
thousand marchers from the various
Irish societies and children from the

The procession started from the pier

later pulled up in front Of the Hotel

Fifth Avenue. Three times along the
route the parade stopped while groups
Of children dressed in green came for

was in Twenty-third Street. when Mrs.

The procession was orderly and re-
served.
Outside the Hotel St. Regis crowd

were rendered another reception in
one of the large halls on the second

Will BE Considered by Committee
on Streets This After

Members of the Council Committee
on Streets will meet this afternoon
at > o'clock in the City Hill to again
consider the petition of the vir-
ginia Railway and PowV Company
for new franchise to cover all OF
the lines in Richmond. The company
is now operating under a number OF
independent franchises. granted to
many former companies, which have
since been consolidated.
More than one hundred volumes of
data has been compiled by the COM
rany to present to Council, in tho
shape Of valuation figures compila
tion of which cost more than 100000.
although not all OF this amount was
spent by the company in Richmond.
When Council asked the company
for figures concerning value Of its
was seeking n six cent fare, Prcsi-
dent Thomas s. Wheelwright, with
the authority of the board of dircc-
tors, employed the firm of Stone and
webster to make the valuation. 1t
was completed sometime ago, but
Council has never asked for the fig.
ures. For this reason result OF the
valuation has never been made pub

pany. which Nwerc learned through n
letter which Thomas s. Morton. OF
Common Council. received from
President WhcelwriEht.
No plan of franchise has been suC-
Gcstcd by the company, other than
that the numerous franchises held
by the organization be consolidated
This is asked in order that the credit
of the company may be improved and
its stock stabilized. Company oni-
Gals claim they arc unable to dis
