TAX IMPOSED BY CITY
COUNCIL IS INVALID
Commissioner OF Revenue Crump
Learns OF Law Passed at Instance
of Corporation Commission-Oiffer'
ence May be Made UP by Assess
ment-Mr. Byrd 6il.'s Patron.

Commissioner OF Revenue h. w.
Crump has Just learned that Dill
passed at the last session OF the leg
islaiure prevents this city from COZ
lecting any license tax from the new
port News Light Il Water Company,
the Newport News Gas Company una
the Citizens Railway Light & Power
Company. The measure was drawn
for the state Corporation Commission
and introduced in the house by Speak
err Richard Evelyn Byrd. When IL
passed the house II was not brought
TO the attention OF any one here ana
nething was known of it by the city
officials until copy of the acts or
the legislature was received here.
Under the provisions of the meas
ure all water. electric light and gas
companies are placed under the ST.
pervision of the state Corporation
Commission and the assessment or
their property is made by the COM
mission just as Is done in the case OF
the railroads. The commission also
passed en- the rates that shall be
tH3lktu Nv inc NV N~---
panies are required to pay a tax or
one per cent of the gross earning to
the state In lieu of all other taxes.
Some cities Excepted.
In those cities where the franchise
of the water, gas and electric light
companies provides for the payment
of a license tax the tax can be col
lected, there being special provision
in the measure to cover such fran
chises. However, In the cities wnere
there Is no pr. vision in the franchise
for the levying OF a license tax, the
tax can no longer be collected. In
the franchises of the local corpora
ton there is nc provision for the levy
ing e license tax.
last month the city council passed
the license tax ordinance. imposing
q tax OF $1,000 on the Newport News
Light & Winter Company. and a tax
of $500 each on the Newport News
Gas Company and the Citizens Rail-
way Light & Power Company. SO that
the new law cuts Newport News out
of $1,000 In revenues.
May Make Up Differences.
Since the Corporation Commission
is I, assess all OF the real end per-
sonal property OF the companies It Is
believed that the difference In the
amount of the assessment on the To-
cal companies as made by the court
assessors and the State commission
will mean an increase OF the taxes to
be received by the city from the COM
panies TO approximately what the city
lcses in the license taxes.
When asked last night about the
new bill, Mayor Jones said that he
had not seen a copy Of the acts OF
the last assembly and that he had not
heard cf such a bill Commissioner
Crump also has not yet seen the acts
Of the leg stature and he Is not thor
o1ghly familiar with the provisions OF
the new law.

NO DISORDER AT K1EFF
RUSSIA CARRYING OUT EXPUL-
SION OF HEBREWS.
Some Have Been Allowed to Re-
Establish Their Legal Right

Information has reached the State De-
partment that enforcement Of the order
expeling Jews from Kieff. Russia, is
being attended by no excitement or dis
order. Many Jews. too. have been al
lowed to re-esta blish their legal right of

Simon Wolf of this city, a member of

cations, is in receipt from the State De-
partment of an official report Of the sit

charge daffaires Of the American en-
bassy at ST. Petersburg. Following Is
the text of the report:
Supplementary to recent dispatches on
the subject of the expulsion of Jewish
families from Kieff I have the honor
to inform you that the explosions de-
cided upon by the commission are now
being carried out, but that there is no
excitement or disorder. l am informed
also that, as suggested in previous re-
ports. a considerable number have been
allowed by renewing their guild certifi-
Gates. to re-establish their legal right of
residence.
1.-The population of Kieff, taking into
account the city's phenomenal growth
during the past few years. must be reck-
oned at approximately a half Anallion, of
which number more than 10000 are Jews.
From this it will appear that the pro-
portion Of those finally expelled COM
pared with the entire Jewish population.

TESTING THE EYESIGHT.
Naval Medical Officers Amend
Method of Examination.

Naval medical officers engaged in the
physical examination of midshipmen and
recruits have discovered a defect in the
standard tests to determine defective
vision. The requirements in this par
ticular are necessarily :strict in view of
the fact that SO much depends on good
eyesight.
For the purpose of testing vision GER
tain cards bearing letters of different
sizes are used, and the successful exami-
nation depends upon the ability of a per-
son to read these letters without diff
culty at prescribed distances. There Is a
variety Of these cards. with different ar
rangements Of the letters. and they are
obtainable from the medical supply
houses.
In some cases, where defective vision
existed. the circumstances were not dis
closed by the examination. That puzzled
the medical officers. until it was ascer-
tanned that some of the young men, who
appreciated their defects, had actually
committed to memory the arrangement
of the letters. SO that by knowledge of
one or two letters on the card they could
easily read any combination.
To remedy this situation an 'unlearn-
able" card has been adopted and COM
municated to the service for the use of
recruiting officers and the medical Off
GERS at the Naval Academy. The card
is placed i'm a rack. which exhibits only
vertical and horizontal line of letters
in such q way that no clue is afforded
the person under examination.

USE OF GYROSC0PE.
Experiments to Be Made on the
u. S. S. BIRMINGHAM.

The beneficial results of the installa ton
of the gyroscOpe on board ships of war,
as made known in reports received from
abroad, have led the Navy Department
to purchase this mechanism. 1t has been
installed for purposes OF trial and OBJ
servation on board the United States
steamship Birmingham.
The cost of the gyroscOpe is about $1O,-
600, owing to the fact that it is obtained
from German manufacturers. An effort
will be made to establish a domestic
source of supply if the gyroscOpe proves
of the practical utility claimed for it.
It's use on board the submarines would
be of particular advantage, and with the
conditions prevailing on the battleships
il might lead to decided economy in doing
away with the magnetic metal. which
costs so much more than ordinary steel.
horoscopes have been installed on some
of the ships of the German navy. These
consist of wheel weighing about nine
pounds. revolved by an electric motor at
speed of 1900 revolutions per minute.

COAL FOR THE PACIFIC.
Foreign Ships to Help Haul Fuel for
Our NAVY.

Again the government finds itself COM
PEELED to have recourse to foreign bottoms
in which to ship coal to the Pacific from
the Atlantic coast More than 1850 tons
of bituminous coal are to be transported
around the Horn, of which about One-half
will go to Manila, about 5000 tons to
Honolulu and the remainder to the Brem-
erton navy yard, Wash The ships will
take on coal for these voyages at Balti-
more, Norfolk. or Newport News. The
indications are the first cargo will be
started at the beginning of the fiscal year.
All this fuel will be for the use of the
naval vessels and other government ships.
In order to minimize so far as possible
the employment of foreign GOLFERS for
coal for our nation. the Secretary
of the Navy will make a test of a new
system by sending the collier Cyclops,
now building. from Newport News II San
Francisco with 10000 tons of coal. He
believes that this can be done eco
monically that Congress will be willing to
provide for the construction Of more col
liers OF large tonnage. The Cyclops will
be completed some time this summer. The
present sized Golfers OF the navy carry
only about 1000 tons OF coal.

Summons to Court for Violation of
Health Laws.

Propretors of number of barber shops

During recent days the health inspec-

Violation Of several sections of the law
were charged in the warrants. Under the
law the proprietOrs of barber shops are
required to have copy of the regula-

Some of them. it is charged. failed to
comply. Against other proprietOrs it is
charged that utensils or implements were
not clean.
The crusade against the BARRIERS is to

than probable that additional warrants
