WOMAN WOUNDS
 FLEEING NEGRO Mrs. ChenOWeth Has Excit- ing Experience With : Robbers Last Night

Robbers struck a Tartar last night when they attempted to enter the residence of Mrs. w. A. Chenoweth, 2o23 Arlington ave- nue, about S:S0 clock.
 Mrs. Chenoweth was seated in her room when she heard a noise at the window. Although frightened at the noise she silently stole into her husbands room and secured his pistol and stole back into her own room to await developments.
 In a few moments she saw a hand en- deavoring to unfasten the window and rushing to 1t, threw it open, suddenly disclosing to her view two big burly negroes. She took deliberate aim at them as they ran from the window toward the street and fired twice. One of the negroes was hit, she states, as she heard sharp cry of pain. following the last shot and traces of blood could be seen for short distance where the negro had gone in his break for escape.
 Policemen Tyler and Darnell were only a short distance away and heard the shots. They came as quickly as they could but by the time they got there me negroes had made their escape. However, their descriptions were furnished the offi- cers and it is believed that arrests will be made during the day.

.CONFERS WITH TAX ]. COMMISSION TODAY Governor to Ascertain How
 Much Income State May Expect This Year

Montgomery, March 7.-(Speeial.) )-Gov. Emmet O'Neal will hold a. conference with the state tax commission some time tomorrow. While the nature of the con ference is not definitely known, it is pre- sumed 1t will be in reference to the state assessments, with a view of determining, as early as possible, just how much in- come the state may count upon this year from the taxable sources.
 It is probable that the matter of state finances will engage the governors attea- ton very closely during the next few weeks. Treasurer Purifoy has prepared a statement for the. governor, setting forth fully the disbursements and receipts of the office and containing other data that will be of value to the governor in de- termining upon the legislative approprla- tions to be turned loose.
 A large number of the legislative ap- proprlations in 1911 were made contingent upon the governors discretion, particular ly the school appropriations. The gover- nor has been holding In some of these aI,- propriations pretty tightly, and it is ex- pected that he has no intentions of re- lleving the pressure upon some of them until he is fully satisfied that there Is both an urgent need and an ample source from which to draw.

St. Petersburg March IA meeting was held tonight at the Social Work CTS club to discuss what Russia will do after the abrogation by the United States of the Russo American treaty of 1882. Nicholas Kryunoff. a member of the council of the ministry of agri- culture. in a remarkably outspoken and fearless address. said that America s action in denouncing the treaty was an unique affront to Russia. Russia must retaliate, but could offer combat only through highly cultured means. the principle of which would be to educate the Russian masses.
 Regarding reprisals, he said intelli- gent Russians would have to continue to buy American farming machinery, despite double or triple duty, because they could not dispense with It.
