THE CONSTITUTION AS A MONEY

There has been vastly too much TOM
fool talk about the disinterested mo-
tives of city treasurers and city COM
missioners of the revenue in seeking to
have the Constitution of Virginia SO
amended that they can hold office in

poppycock printed by their press
agents to the effect that those officials
are standing for wise principles in
government and the right of the peo-
pie to elect when they please as often
as they please The truth Of it is that
the opulent officials concerned do not

Senate OF Virginia. They are for the
Constitution II It is for them. and they
are against 1T IL IL is against them.
and in case OF doubt, whats the Con-
stitution between friends?" The fact
Is that the city treasurers and city
commissioners Of the revenue desire
the Constitution changed so that they

saved. AS several other ships who
steamed to the rescue have wirelessed
that they have none OF the Titanic's
passengers on board IL is the opinion
Of officials that the rest went down
with the ship. Among the passengers
were number OF very prominent peo-

A statement to this effect was made
by Detective Captain George A. Ar

what he was doing. Bunano said that
the woman's husband, John Achillo, of
New York, died six months ago and
that later he took the young woman
as his common law wife. Bunano, and
