HIS TURN CAME.
The Way the Liquor Man Got Even
With the Bank Teller.

with the BANK ieioTs
Many years ago there lived In Rut-
land VT, two men who bore the same
name. which name we will call W. o.
Jones. One of these men was a dap
per young bank teller; the other was
engaged In running a cigar store with
n saloon attachment in the rear This
was In the days of prohibition In Yer
mont. Every three or four weeks the
latter Jones would be hailed into the
police court and fined for liquor sell
ing, which was chronicled regularly In
the daily papers. The bank teller grew
nervous about 1t, and one morning this
announcement appeared: "W. o. Jones,
the popular young bank teller Of the
Rutland National bank, wishes II to be
understood that he Is In no way con-
nected with the saloon keeper and
hopes their names may not be con-
founded"
Now, 1t transplred that a few months
afterward this young teller failed to
appear one morning at his accustomed
window Mt the bank. Upon a hasty
examination 1t was found that $4,000
or more Of the funds of the bank had
also disappeared. The wires were
called into requisition Immediately,
and after a few days he was located
In Denver. It was the old story. He
was brought back, incarcerated. tried,
etc.
1t was now the saloon keepers turn,
and this notice was duly published In
the same paper that issued the pre-
vious one: wv. o. Jones, the widely
known business man of Merchants
row, wishes II to be understood that he
is In no way connected with w. O.
Jones, the defaultlng bank teller now
in Jail, and hopes their names may not
be COMPOUNDED. "-EXchange

MUST PAY TAX IN PERsoNe
Norfolk City Poll Tax Case Provokes
State Interest

RICHMOND. Va. August S.-The su-
pren,e court of appeals today allowed a
writ of error and supersedeas in the Nor
folk city poll tax case. The question in
volyed is what constitutes personal
payment of taxes. Under decision of
Judge Martin Of Norfolk no person can
vote who does not pay his taxes out Of
his own funds and in person to the treas
urcr. The judge himself is disfranchised
by his own decision. he having paid with
a check.
The decision of the lower court. if sus-
tanned, will deprive 20 per cent of the
people of the state OF their votes. as the
bulk have paid by using checks or by
messengers The new constitution re-
uuires that a voter shall personally" pay.
and IL was to have this interpreted that
the action was brought.
NORFOLK Va. August S--While il Is
true that Judge Martin did not person
ally pay his poll tax and would be dis
franchised under his own construction of
the law. he happens to have been Con-
federa,e soldier and can vote under the
constitution without the payment of taxes.
judge Martin was with the Virginia Mill
tary Institute cadets at the battle Of New
Market and other engagements.
