ANNEXATION CASE
Judges Sign Order Giving
Alexandria Large POr-
ton Of County.
BY LESTER N. .INSKEEP,
STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, May 4.-The judges selected
to try Alexandria's suit against Airing
ton County for a part of it's territory
today signed the order granting the
annexation of the entire section sought
by the city.
In a detailed exception TO the deci-
sion. Arlington County's attorney noted
be fought to the limit and in so diving
will probably delay the effectiveness of
the order for more than year.
Exceptions Noted.
In the bill Of exception it Is brought
cut that Arlington County believes that
the evidence fails to show either neces-
sity for or expediency of annexation Of
the territory ordered or any part there
of: that the decision was made without
first aScertaining the extent of COM
1ensation to be made to Arlington
County for existing debt to the county
or district affected nor for the present
value of such permanent public i'm
provement as have been made In the
territory affected.
It further claimed that by reason of
the annexation the County Of Airing
ton and its citizens in the territory set
aside for annexation will be made liable
for the debt of the City of Alexandria
incurred many generations ago; that
the territory set apart for annexation
is not reasonably compact and contains
much territory not adapted to city i'm
proyements and which Alexandria will
not need in the near future for devel-
opment.
Continuing the bin alleges that the
court during the course of the trial
admitted evidence offered by the city
and enormously excluded evidence Of
fered on behalf Of the county by Ar
lington and that a number Of other
actions of law do not give to Arlington
County what it deserves.
Appeal Ties Up Case.
The filing of the appeal so ties up the
case that Alexandria will be unable to
acquire any of the territory until after
the case has been reviewed by the
Court Of Appeals. While it is held
likely that the decision of the present
tribunal will be upheld. Arlington
County will be entitled to and will col

with another rise in the price of cop

Metal Exchange yesterday decided to
lnaugurate trading In copper futures.

stabilize the market for the metal
The price of copper for domestic

cents, and about cents in the pas,

unsettled in recent weeks by q rush to
buy the metal, and little now is avail
able for earlier delivery than July.

metal on the American continent drop
ped 1875 tons to but 290.164 tons
during February. Blister stocks were
reduced 10,259 tons to 234851. and re-
fined, 1886 tons to 55.313. February

up rules for the trading in copper and

when slice is cultivated-the arms

The pull Is more difficult to
acquire than the slice because
il requires that a player stay
down to the shot until the
swing has been completed. II
Is for this reason that the poorly
equipped player seldom hooks,
but is an inveterate Slicer.
The grip has much to do in the
cultivation of the pull. The left
hand should be we'll ON top Of the
