SALE ANNOUNCES
MILITARY PLANS
ADJUTANT GENERAL LEARNS
WAR DEPARTMENT MAY ES-
TABLISH CAMP IN VIRGINIA.

Adtutant-Gene Sale, of the Vir-
Ginia Volunteers, who probably Is one
of the busiest men in the State In his
efforts to increase the efficiency of
the militia to n standard never before
attained. has made several important
announcements of interest to the mill
tary
He has learned from General Evans
of the Bureau OF Military Affairs that
the War Department is planning to
establish a national camp ground in
Virginia for joint maneuvers and the
mobilization of troops.
This camp will be established on
a site of not less than 0,000 acres
and will be consiguous to the District
of Columbia. probably In the terri
tory on the line of the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad
between Fredericksburg and Alexan
dria.
1t is argued that the railroad could
buy the land at a low price and pre-
sent 1t to the government, REIN burs-
ing itself and deriving profit from
the traffic resulting from the estab-
iishment of such a camp. The plans
are being considered by the War De
partment. and inquiries are being
made, but no definite action has been
taken.
Complete equipments for a field
hospital and signal corps which were
ordered some time ago by General
Sale have arrived in Richmond and
placed in storage General Sale for
some time has been considering plans
for the organization of fieid hos
pttai and signal corps and the arrival
Of the supplies probably will result
soon III the preliminary steps for or
ganizasion
The cost OF the hospital and sigma
outfits has been charged TO the fund
of $500 which is credited to the
Virginia Volunteers by the War De
partment. This fund Is exclusive OF
$4,000 which vas procured by Gen.
eral Sale for the establishments OF
the rifle range and camp site at Nir.
ginia Beach.
General Sale has received applica-
lions from every officers of the field
artillery TO attend the camp OF In.

PETITIONS FOR DISMISSAL
OF FRANCHISE TAN CASE

Attorney General Samuel w. VIII
liams has petitioned the United States
supreme court To dismiss the appeal
OF the Richmond. Fredericksburg and
Potomac railroad in the franchise tax
case which Involves s1s.Sis.o6 the
amount of franchise tax at the rate
of one per cent. on gross earnings of
the company for 1907.
The supreme court of appeals Of
Virginia entered judgement against
the railroad. The attorney general
asks that the appeal be dismissed on
the grounds that 1t was taken for de-
lay only, that the question involved
is frivolous and unworthy of further
consideration and that the United
States supreme court has no jurisdic-
ton because no Federal question was
passed on by the Virginia court.

COMMERCIAL CLUBS
TO START BOWLING
Teams Will Roll First Scheduled
Games This Evening at Harms
and Patting Alleys.

This evening at the Harms and
Patting bowling alleys, the season in
the Commercial Bowling league will
be opened. 1t is a coincidence that
the two teams that finished on top
last season-the Colts and Indepen-
dents-are matched this evening
while the two contenders for the Gel
lar position last year-the Athletics
and Pretzels-are matched The
prospects of each of the teams are
bright and it is impossible to pick the
winner now.
Salzmann's Colts present practic-
ally the same lineup as the cham
pion team of last year and so may
be counted on to make a good show
ing. The lineup of the Independents
and Athletics has improved greatly
and each of the teams expects to be
in the running till the end. There
is little change in the Pretzel lineup,
but it is rumored that the mem bers
of the team have improved so per
cent in individual work and If they
can all start out at the same gait,
they too, will be in the race to the
finish.

She gave the correct answer, adding
that 500 was the amount sought by the
borrower. but that the young lady only
could afford to let him have $4S, and
that the money would be returned to
her in due time. The young woman
