Upon arriving at the state house the

The governor responded that the ex-
ecutive chambers would hold about
100 persons and the charge could not
be made that a delegation of that size
was handpicked. Word was sent out
that the governor would not address

short address, in which he declared
that the governor, like the grounding,

While the demonstrators gathered,
several members of Company d, 18th

The militiamen were in plain clothes,
however and there was no display of
military force. Mayor Shank said last
Saturday he had been informed state
officials contemplated the use of troops
to control his demonstration.
Governor McCray declined to ad-

WORKS BOARD TURNS
DOWN BUFFALO Offer
BECAUSE OF COSTS

On motion of Robert Henley, the
board of works instructed the city
clerk to write letters to all officials
informing them that the project of
receiving a buffalo for use in Glen
Miller park had been dropped Exces-
s1Ve expense was given as the cause.
The letter says:
Recently there has been some dis
cussion regarding the city purchasing
a buffalo for Glen Miller park. De
string to give the city of Richmond
those things which they desire mos,
the board has given this matter con
siderable attention and decided at It's
regular meeting today not to make
such a purchase at this time for the
following reasons:
1T has been intimated that it would
only cost the city $40 for one buffalo
which would be furnished from tic
government preserves. This informa-
ton is rather misleading, due to the
fact that it would be necessary tc
provide an enclosure and building
for this buffalo, and it is more than
probable that by placing one buffalo
in the park by itself, its life would
be comparatively short. We consider
ed buying one bull buffalo and two
does so that the herd might be per-
petuated, but find that the expense
of three buftaloes would be about $500
and the inclosure $1,000, making a
total of $1,000, and that it would cost
approximately $3.50 per year to main
tain them, which is six per cent in
terest on $500
In Bad Repair
I'VE also find that the city property
and equipment in the park is in very
bad repair and must be completely
overhauled this spring in order that
it may be in shape for the citizens to
enjoy it next summer. The painting
of the buildings and repairing of the
bridges in the park Will cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000 in the spring,
and we feel that We would not be
considering the pubhc's interest con-
sistently if we allow this equipment
and property to further deteriorate
and spend the money for buffalOes.
''We sincerely hope that our de-
cision in this matter is indicative of
good judgment on our part, and will
be appreciated by the city of Rich
mond. We felt that this public an
nouncement of our policy in this par
tiCular case necessary at this time
and will appreciate you giving it such
attention as you deem necessary.

WASHINGTON DIGS OUT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The cen
ter of a storm which flung a deep
blanket of snow over the entire At
lantic section of the country Friday
and Saturday, was still in the middle
Atlantic section Monday. and Wash
ington was digging itself out of more
than two feet of it today with the
process of returning to normal ways
of living exceedingly slow.
But, in common with the rest of the
section which suffered most from the
wintry visitor which this time came
from the south, the capital city had
the assurance of the weather bureau
that the storm was moving safely sea-
ward today, with it's center slightly
north and east of Cape Cod
With Sunday passed. Washington re-
doubled its efforts today to clear awav
the storm impedimcnts, restore an al
most totally lost contact with the SUI
burbs, add to the street car routes
which were feebly resumed in some
instances yesterday. and insure some
thing approaching dependability in the
delivery of milk, bread and other ne
cesSities.
Service Restored
These functions were virtually par
alyZed when the city awoke Yesterday
morning to find itself buried under the
snowfall. Train service north and
south, seriously interrupted in the
morning hours Sunday. had been re-
stored practically to normal today
Reports from other points near the
storm center, including Philadelphia,
which, with the entire southeastern
section of Pennsylvania, was covered
with snow up to a depth of a foot and
half, and Baltimore, where, as in the
rest of Maryland, the fall was almost
as great as here, showed they faced
much the same conditions as Wash
ington today, with the process of re-
