the animal out and paid the charges

The Henrico County School Board
yesterday instructed Commemorative
Attorney Julien Gum to take the

lection OF se.71s.5s due to the board
by Mr. william H. Brauer, formerly
treasurer of the county.
In presenting his report to the board
yesterday. Mr.. Boudar. the accountant,
stated that this amount had been due
since Mr.. Braner was treasurer. When
approached for settlement, Mr.. Brauer
said the county was in his debt to the
amount of s1,Ss4,i5, which would leave
a balance against him of ss34.43.
Mr.. Boudar explained that the coun-
tvs Indebtedness to Mr.. Brauer was
from the board OF supervisors. and sug-
gested that the school board collect
directly from Mr.. Brauer. and that Mr..
Brauer and the supervisors settle be-
tween themselves.
Mr.. Gum was also instructed to de-
termine whether or not the treasurer,
in making up his commissions. shall
charge on the district school fund and
the county fund separately, as he now
does. or compute his commissions on
the amount OF the two funds. In the
latter case the commissions are much
smaller.

TURKEY
TO FIGHT
RUSSIA
PLAN FREEDOM OF
PERSIA


Constantinople, Sept. 21.-Youne
Turkey Is preparing to 1ght the
Czar. Reasurred by their victory
over the Sultan and the troubles in
Persia and Russia, the Young Turks
have been quietly preparing for some
months to liberate Persia, and give
that country government similar TO
their own. To do this they realize
they must fight Russia, and they are
today preparing to strike.
The grand vlzer was himself
quoted, Indirectly, b6t" authoritative
ly, as having assured his ministers
that he believes a clash Is inevitable.
The struggle VIII center over Per-
STA. The Young Turks plan to over
throw the Shah. and establish sor.
OF protectorate over Persia at Teher-
en-. until the Per people are strong
enough to govern themselves. IL IL
agreed that. to do this, Russia mas.
be driven out OF the country.
Whether or not the Shah's life will
be spared Is a matter that has not yet
been decided. The Young Turks
think that Il will be an easy matter
TO crush the Shah. but they are pre-
pairing for n hard fight with Russia.
II was stated here today by one ef
the leaders OF the Young Turk party
that within six months the Turkish
troops would be in possession Of
Tabriz. which has declared its inde-
pendence and offered It's allegiance 10
Turkey. The leader stated that the
Turks would at the same time be In
possession OF the Russian road from
Tabrlz TO Julia on the Muscovlto
frontier.
II Is considered here that the Turk
ilh occupation OF the disputed terri
tory, within what the Shah claims as
his boundary at Urumia. was dl-
rect challenge to the Gear. and would
have been followed by an immediate
introduction OF Russian troops In the
Caucasus had II happened before the
Russlan-Japanese war
There was a show OF force by Rui-
sia, but II was answered by Turkey
by snch an increase OF her troops on
the very shores OF Lake Urumia as to
completely overshadow the additions
10 the Muscovlte force.
The Young Turkilh leaders do not
expect any opposition from Nicholas
until II becomes clear that they are
TO sweep the country, hut Il Is NOT
thought possible that the Czar will
surrender his absolute rule AZ Te-
heren for years without show OF
force
