ing Attacked.

Especial to The -Dtspatchl
Danville, Va, May 27.-Claude T..
Powell. aged eighteen years, and son
of Elisha It. Powell. contractor, was
shot and fatally wounded last night at
about IL o'clock by Arthur Webb,
about the same age, and son of Il. S.
Webb. TIE slayer was the friend and,
ffteen-year-old sister OF the slain
youth. The shooting took place in
the front yard of the Powell home,
when Webb was leaving, after bidding
good night to the girl, whom he had
taken to an entertainment in the city
earlier in tho evening.
From the evidence secured, young
Powell had objected to the attentions
paid his young sister by Webb. Al
the coroner's inquest to- day, she tes-
tilted that bad feeling had existed be-
tween the two boys. one said that
last night. after returning from an
entertainment. and spending a few
minutes in the front parlor of the
home. Webb started to leave the
house. Her brother, she says, fol-
lowed him, and struck him with an
axe handle. Webb then drew his pis-
toll, firing five times. at close range.
Powell fell PROSTATE. with four bullet
wounds in his body. dying to-day
from his injury His deposition was
not taken. The parents of the slain
boy were asleep. and knew no details
Of the shooting. After the shooting
Webb fled, and was arrested early this
morning. He is now in jail. and will
plead self-defense when arraigned for
trial
Webb stated that he carried a pistol
last nigh. because number of other
boys, including Claude Powell who
reside in the same neighborhood. had
threatened to throw rocks at him II
he persisted in visiting the Powell
girl Webb lives In a different section
of the city and the boys living in the
community of the Powell home appear
to have looked upon his visitations
with jealousy, and regarded him as an
intruder. The young girl, in her evil
dence before the coroner's Jury this
afternoon. bore out Webbs statement
that her brother and other boys had
threatened to rock him. She said that
she knew he had pistol in his
pocket when she went out with him
last night. So far as can be gathered.
the parents of the girl appear to have
offered no objection to young Webb
coming to the house. though they
were aware of the i'll feeling existing
between him and their son. The two
boys had a difficulty several days ago.
and 1t Is charged that Webb slapped
Powell in his face

Companies Expected to Appeal to
Courts From Action Of
Legislature.
CAMP NAMED FOR GOVERNOR
Officers Working Hard--Ex~
ccutivc Speaks at Ocean
View School Rally.

No doubt exists In the minds OF
those in authority that the express
companies doing business In Virginia
will resist payment of the increased
license taxes imposed upon them I'M
der the new law RI these concerns pay
the license rates without legal pro-
ceedings 1t will be surprising indeed.
1t Is further expected that the point
~ attack will be the constitutionality
of mileage taxation. In the event Of
legal victory for the common car
rers. 1t will be necessary for the next
Legislature to make complete change
in tho method of taxation. and II may
very likely entirely lose all taxes on,
express companies for the years 1910
and 1911.
over the earnest protest of express
company representatives, the tax was
raised by the last Legislature from 50
per mile to Sc. The Senate made the
Increase 150 per cent. or $3.50 for each
mile of railroad over which the car
riers do business. The Senate bill
then came to the House Finance Com
mittee, which had already reported q
House bill at the same rate.
Successful Argument.
However, at the last moment. Major
shelton, of Norfolk, representing the
Southern Express Company, made
final plea. He told the committee that
such charge would wipe out every
dollar OF his companys profits in this
State. The statement Of earnings and
expenses. he said, was on nle in the
Office OF the state Corporation Com
mission, and had not been controvcrt-
ed As a result of HIS argument. the
committee amended the Senate bill go
as to make n charge Of S. which
doubled the existing rate. Efforts
were made on the floor to reduce this
to So but failed
Both houses finally agreed to the Sc
rate.
Attorneys for the companies de-
clared themselves. willing to pay some
increase because OF their growing bus
mess. Blu, Major Shelton said that n
mileage tax was unauestionablv IN
constitutional When asked why his
company had been paving such tan
he said that 1t desired to avoid litira-
tion. intimaiing that 1t had been sat
listed with the rate. What he wanted
was tax OF per cent on gross re-
GENTS like that paid bv the railroad
COMPANIES. 1t Is estimated tina. such
tax wom,d have amounted To about
81 per milo.
