Special TO The Washington Herald.
RICHMOND Va, March 12.-The last ses-
sion of the general assembly for real
work was held this afternoon.
One of the hardest measures to get
through was the coordination bill per-
tanning to unifying ali the agricultural
interest and boards for the betterment
and concentration OF the farming inter-
ests. The appropriation however was cut
to 5000.
The bill popularity known as the lime
grinding bill, which passed the house
and was aimed at the lime trust, was
not, considered by the senate.
The senate agreed to the house resolu-
ton extending the session FIVE days from
tonight. in order TO give the clerks and
others chance 10 get up With-the work
in hand and to permit the examination
OF bills after they have been enrolled.
and 10 have them presented 10 the gov
ernor. No bills of any sort are to be
considered. and the sessions yet TO be
held are merely constructive.
Agree ON Appropriation Bill.
The conference committee on the appro-
priation bill has agreed. The house has
won on practically every point. and the
bin as reported has been increased only
about s25,oO0 over and above the bill as
reported 10 the house. The bin abollshes
the Office OF military records, and allows
the governor TO name a clerk 20 have the
naming OF a man 70 hold the place under
the direction OF the adjutant general. The
bill gives TO the public schools $4,000,
increases the road fund $4,000 for the
first year and 5000 for the second year,
and criminal expenses are fixed at 500, 900
a year.
The senate agreed to the bill providing
for a board of equalization by requiring
the commissioners Of the revenue to sub
NIT their lists to the tax commissioner
allowing the commissioner TO suggest
increases or decreases, and to refer the
matter TO the attorneys for the Com
monwealth, but the house OF delegates
put its foot down good and hard and
of the commissioners Of the revenue.
CataYvba sanatOrium Affair,
Senator NOEL, Of Lee County, this
afternoon declared that he had received
a lOng-distance telephone message from
a physician in Philadelphia, who con-
graduated him on his charges in connec-
ton with the Catawba sanatorium, and
said that the physician would reach the
city tomorrow morning 10 furnish him
with facts and be ready TO prove that
the entire transaction connected with the
purchase OF the property was one Of
graft from start to finish. Senator NOEL
declared that he did not know anything
about the matter further than the tele-
phone message. but that II the gentleman
came here and gave him any facts on
which 10 proceed he would continue his
investigation OF the matter. and would
lay all the facts he obtained before the
governor.
The Standard Oil Company will not
have to pay any taxes In the State of
Virginia. The bin to that effect was
killed in the senate this afternoon when
Senator Early made an attempt to take
up the bill and dispense with the read
ing so that ii could be considered.
The bin is the one Of which Speaker
Byrd was the patron. and which had
already passed the house

weekly Trade Reviews.

The weekly trade reviews were gen.
orally favorable. though in some sections
collections were reported slow and there
was considerable Irregularity IN the trade
Improvement As Indicated b. bank
clearings, the weeks trade was greatly
in excess Of business In the correspond
ing week last year, clearings this week
showing an increase Of s1,007, 000. 900. or %
per cent over those for the corresponding
week of 1909
The Improvement OF the business OF the
car equipment companies and the steel
companies was again indicated in large
orders placed by the Chicago, Milwaukee
and St Paul and the Rock Island sys-
TENS, the order OF the former amounting
TO S7.500.OOO and being the largest OF the
year The bank statement Of average
condition showed a decrease OF 81, S13, 900
in the surplus reserve; that Of actual
condition a decrease of s., 724,000 An ex-
pansion of loans was expected because of
the great amount Of new financing &C
cOmplished this week, but the increase Of
s., 900 In this account as shown by
the statement OF actual condition could
not be considered under the circumstances
unsatisfactory or unfavTable. Neither.
in view Of the complex money movements
attending the numerous bonds sales, was
the reduction in reserve at ell unfavor-.
ably regarded.
