PARDON ISSUED
Governor Stuart yesterday granted a
conditional pardon to Crane Casteol, a

, horse. The horse was valued at only
$5 hv its owner, according to the Com
I inonwealth's Attorney of Washington
; County, who endorsed tft? application
: for executive clemency.
The Gover/.or was probably Influenced
j to some extent In granting the pardon
? to the man who^tole a $5 horse by
, the fact that tho late Benntor Edward
i Echols, a short time before his death.
! was moved to ask for the release of
("jtsteel from prison.

Postmaster Hay T. Thornton said yes- j
terday afternon that he expected to
hear within the next few days, possibly ,
by to-morrow, the decision of Byron It. ;
Newton, Assistant Secretary of the j
Treasury, anrl John C. Koons, chief of |

ability of purchasing the Eleventh :

day night* .Mr. Newton said that if the j
decision were against the purchase of ;
the adjoining property, it would be tip
to Che people to urge their Senators j
and Congressmen to have the approprl- |
ation bill so amended that tho money |
may be applied to the purchase of any I
other property which the Secretary of'
the Treasury may deem suitable. As It
stands, the appropriation may be used
only for the property at the corner of
Kleventh and Main Streets, and If the
decision is against this property and
the bill be not amended, the whole ap
propriation will be lost to Richmond.
Mr. Newton said that lie thought thero
would be no difficulty In having the bill
amended if the Virginia Senators and
Congressmen worked to that end. Con
gressman Montague has stated, how
ever, that there was absolutely no hope
of passago_of any amendment at this
session of Congress, In view of the con
gested condition of the calendar.
TREASURY DEI* A HTM EST
MAS AMENDMENT DRAWS
When the Inspectors sent here by the
Post-Offlco Department reported ad
versely on the question of the purchase
of the remainder of the block, an
amendment to the appropriation bill
Was (ltaan in the office of the .Secretary j
of the Treasury, and was made ready I
for presentation In Congress.
It Is said that the Treasury Depart- |
ment will be guided wholly by the suit- j
ability and the availability of the pro
posed site for post-office needs, and :
that the position of the various organi
zations on the matter will have no
weight. The experts made a thorough
examination of the property, and re
ported against it, mentioning, among
other things, that the place was un
sanitary and unhealthy. After the visit
of the experts, the Chamber of Com
merce took the matter up. and the ex- ;
ecutlve committee recommended that
the block be purchased, and, after a
massmeetlng of the members In which |
Its decision was upheld, sent a commit- |
toe to Washington to urge the purchaso
of this property. Opposition which had
gained ground before the massmeetlng
gave way temporarily, and Assistant
Secretary Newton decided to come to j
Richmond to make a personal inspeo- j
tlon. Upon the result of his visit the
question will be settled.
Postmaster Thornton, supported by |
O. A. Hawkins nnd R. K. Maglll and
an Independent citizens' committee, le
In favor of some other slto. The Cliam- I
her of Commerce, by a largo majority,
would have the Eleventh Street prop
erty purchased.

CHRISTIAN ISSUKS WARNING
Says Unrestricted Grants of Water
Connections to Nonresident-"* Mny
Render Water Plant Liable to \
Taxation by the State.
Notwithstanding Alderman Chris
tian's) strenuous efforts to secure an ex- i
presslon from the City Attorney before
notion wna taken, the Council Commlt
teo on Public Buildings, Properties nnd
(Utilities, last night voted to recommend
for passage the ordlnanco granting
water connections to J. R. Tucker and
other applicants for the service, resid
ing in Westhampton.
The ordinance as recommended nllows
the petitioners to lay a six-Inch pipe
from their property to the water main
that supplies Richmond College. The
water thus obtained is to be paid for
at non-resident rates, and the Installa
tion is to be entirely at. the expense of
the petitioners. In tho event of annex
ation the pipe la to become the prop
I erty of the city without cost.

Alderman Christian warned the com - !
I mlttee that the unrestricted granting
I of non-resident water connections may
be fraught with serious consequences, j
Aside from his doubts as to the city's
I legal right to grant the use of a public |
utility to a non-resident, Mr. Christian
entertained the fear that the water j
plant might liecomo liable to State tax- j
atlon as a manufacturing business '
should It undertake Indiscriminately to j
supply water to non-residents at a
profit.
Mr. Christian offered a resolution I
calling upon the City Attorney to rule j
upon the city's legal right to grant
the connections asked for, and the lla- |
blllty of the water plant to taxation j
by the fltato as a manufacturing busl- i
ness, as tho result of this practice.
Motions to lay tho pending applica
tion on the table until the City Attor
ney could be heard from, and other mo- |
tlons looking to a delay were voted ]
down or withdrawn. Chairman Mitch- j
ell -took the floor with a heated speech
against practicing a discrimination In
this case when similar applications
have been granted by the city in the j
past. Other members of the committee
spoke In stmllnr vein. The committee, I
