He was some- what sensitive regarding his physical condition, his assoclates sald, and hesitated to appear, frequently In public. He continued, however, to partici- pate generally in committee work, in which he always had been active, and played a prominent part In framing the Esplonage Act of 1017 as well as numerous other war measures. He also served as chair- man of the appropriations commit- tee during the democratic regime from 1913 to 1019, Benator Culberson was born in Dadeville, Tallapoosa county, Ala- bama, October 10, 1 , the son of David B. and FEugenia (Kimbal) Culberson. When three years of age he was taken to Texas where his father became a prominent figure in publie life, serving as an adjutant- general in the Confederatewarmy, a member of the state legislature and a representative in congress from the 44th to the 49th session. Senator Culberson was sent to the Virginia Military Institute when he had completed his studies in the | grade schools, and upon his grad- | fuation In 1874 'spent two years studying law in the University of Virginia, where he became a judge of the student law court and orator lol the Jefferson Literary society, both exceptional honors. He was admitted to the bar in 1877 and at once took a high place as an attorney and practitioner. In 1882, while practicing in Marion county, Texas, he won considerable fame through his brilliant defense of a man convicted of murder under the Ku Klux law of Texas. Culber- son took hold of the case, appealed it to the circuit court and by his able pleading secured a reversal of the verdict with a declaration of thei unconstitutionality of the Ku Klux law, Started At 25 His ability soon forced him into the political arena, and in 1880, when but 25 years of age, he was elected county attorney of Marion. After a short incumbency he resign- |ed to engage once more in his pri- | |vate practice, which had grown to such proportions that it caused him to decline a nomination to the state | legislature, offered by his party in 1882, In 1888 he removed to Dallas and established the law firm of Book- hout and Cuilberson, wherein he con- | tinued active until 1890, when he at- tended the democratic state conven- tion and was nominated for attorney general by acclamation.

Mr. Parsons began with a recital lof the case in which he madé men- tion of the resignation of several commissioners. Mayor Paonessa arose to question Parsons right to discuss resignations. Mr. Parsons was requested to speak only on his peti- tion. Mr. Parsons =aid 28 of the 32 pro- perty owners concerned are opposed. The only houses within 500 feet are single family houses, he said, and he felt a two-family house would depreciate the value of his prop- erty.
