November /.
GRAND JURY MAKES REQUEST

Heard From.

Opportunity is presented to those
citizens Of Henrico County who failed
to give in all their visible property.
intangible possessions. incomes and
bank deposits for taxation to correct
their returns. They have until No
vember / To do this. and on that date
the special grand jury will reconvene

found only against those who intend
ed to evade payment of the whole
amount prescribed by law.
Jury Makes Request.
The grand jury investigating the al
legged taX-dodging cases in Henrico
county reported to Judge f. Carter
Scott yesterday morning that numer-
Gus AUTHORIZATIONS had been discov-
cred both in returns on incomes and
on personal property. No indictments
followed the discoveries, however, and
the jury asked for adjournment UNI
til November 1, SO that persons whose
assessments are incorrect may have
the opportunity of righting them.
The jury wished to allow taxpayers
this opportunity. believing that the
improper returns in most cases were
the result Of Ignorance. and not of a
desire to defraud the State and coun-
ty The report states that the jury
will be ready to return indictments
after the corrected returns are re-
ceived
In granting the delay. Judge Scott
said that it is permissible for mem
bers of the grand jury TO receive re-
ports from taxpayers correcting for
mer assessments and present these re-
ports to tie entire body when 1t as
sembles again.
The tex, of the grand jury's report
is as follows:
ITO the Honorable Judge Of the Cir
cult Court of Henrico County.
Va:
"On behalf of the special grand
Jury, I beg to report that from the
investigations so far made We have
discovered a great number or under-
assessments, both in the matter OF
incomes and also in. tie matter OF
personal property assessments we
believe that many OF these unoer-
assessments were mace unOer HIS
apprehension, and with no intent &c
defraud the Commonwealth OF Its JUS
| revenues. We, therefore. petition the
/ court for an adjournment until NO
yember I, at II A. NJ, with permission
IN all taxpayers to appear before tbs
Grand jury and correct these assess
nents whenever such assessments have
been improperly returned through
;.norance Of the law. After receiv-
ing and accepting or rejecting sucf
corrections, the grand jury will Their
assemble for the purpose Of brtngins
in such indictments as it may agains,
those who in it's opinion have re1usso
to make full and fair returns on thei'
| incomes and persona! property.

TRAVELLING FOLK

FRAME NATIONAL PETITION

Postma ster-Genera Hitchcock's lib.
eral Interpretation of the Sunday
closing law passed recently by Con-
eress, apparently contains little cholce
for travelling men and theatricaI hoiA'
Even under the most favorable CIR
cumstances these claim they are SUP
jected to Inconvenience and delay. an
the smaller offices no pretense AT
maintaining a Sunday service Is made
at all. and in the larger cities they
ind it impossible to secure their mail
unless addressed in care OF a hotei.
The discomfort now comes To a head
with the launching OF national Pc
tition addressed to the Postmaster
General, asking for an executive ORDER
permitting post-offices all over the
country to deliver mail on Sundays to
transients and theatrical people.
nationa! committee has been formed
to circulate the petition. with Billy 3.
Van, the well-known minstrel man. AZ
chairman.
Displayed by Local Hotels.
At most Of the local hotels yester-
day the petition was displayed at
the desk. Hundreds of travelling men
and actor folk affixed their signatures.
expressing themselves strongly In
favor OF the movement.
At the Jefferson Hotel the petition
was signed By practically every per
son who registered, and at Murphy
the MANAGEMENT lent a helping hand
by calling every travellers attention
TO il. The round robin was also on
display at the Richmond. at the Lex
ington, and at Gilberts. Everywhere
the idea seemed to strike popular
chord.
The petition sets forth the grievance
in full and asks the Cen
eral for relief. 1t claims TO have the
support OF the travelling mems orsahi-
cations, as well az OF the theatrical
world in general Responses are asked
to be addressed to Billy B. Van. Hotel

Limited Service Now.
In Richmond. where Postmaster Al
Ian has given the new law the most
liberal Interpretation possible, NE
post office sorts certain classes OF mail
on Sundays. particularly mail address
ed to the hotels and newspapers Taese
send after their MAJ by special mes
senger. Thus il is possible for all tran
sienrs and actors to receive their sun
day mail in Richmond. on condition,
however. that it be addressed In care
of some hotel.
The petition outlines no plan by
which the Sunday delivery that Is ask
ed may become feasible. The new law
expressly forbids Sunday distribution
for local purposes. and some plan
would have TO be devised which would
prevent local people from posing as
rransients and thus taking advantage
of a rule framed to relieve the travel
ing public
In order to preserve the spirit OF the
new Sunday closing law. the petition
proposes to give post-ofhce employees
who would under the ruling asked. be
compelled TO work on Sundays. COM
pensatory time OF during the week
This has long been the practice in the
local post-office, where the plan has
given entire satisfaction

GET CITY'S AID
ON SIDEWALKS
South Amboy People Won
dsring About Broadway.
AreoioI to the EVENING NEWS.

NV
= South Amboy, Oct. 21:-Consid-
cradle complaint is being heard In
reference to the action of the council
In the relaying of the sidewalks on
Broadway. AS this improvement Is
solely for the benefit of Broadway,
they are unable to reconcile the just
ness to the citizens at large in COM
pelling them to join In payment by
taxation of something directly bene-
fitting the people owning property
on Broadway. The argument may
be advanced that the citizens of the
whole city have to pay a portion of
the paving Of Broadway by taxation,
why not the sidewalks? This is an
other proposition altogether. AT
some future time the property own
ers on Broadway will be compelled
to pay their portion toward the pave
ment of other streets, but the side
walks, curbing and tagging on other
streets will, in the future, be i'm
proved at the expense of the individ-
ual property owners. Then why
grant concessions to those on Broad
way by placing their sidewalks at
the established grade free Of costs,
while others must pay for the laying
of the same. There Is not the least
doubt that every property owner In
the city would be willing to purchase
the material if the city would grade
and lay the Tagging free of cost.

No Perth Amboy Mother Should

Oftentimes weak kidneys cause
great annoyance and embarrassment
to children. Inability to control the
kidney secretions, at night or while
at play, is attributed to carelessness
and too frequently the child is pun

troubled with kidney weakness
would do well to treat the kidneys
with a tested and proven kidney
remedy. If there Is pain in the
back, d~iscolored urine, irregular
urination, headaches, dizzy spells 1r
a tired, WORKOUT feeling, begin CIV
Ing Doan'a Kidney Pills at once.
This remedy has been used in kid

TRUCE IN LITTLE FALLS ROW.
Governor Dix Warns Authorities Not
to Hinder Free Speech,


Little Falls, N. Y, Oct. Platter
nearly a week of turbulence, due to the
clashing between the local police and
Socialist agitators, this city experience
ed a peaceful Sunday, due In great
part perhaps to the truce which was
patched up between the city authori
ties and the Socialists represented by
Mayor Lunn and various members of
his Schenectady cabinet. The citizens
OF Little Falls are gratihed that the
rumpus has been settled, for the feel
ing between some local people and the
Socialists who invaded the city to aid
the strikers in the Phoenix mills In
their fight for increased wages had be-
come extremely bitter, and violence
was imminent when the dove Of peace
descended.
A messenger arrived here from Al
bany and personally served on Mayor
8. Hall and Sheriff Leon Moon each a
letter from Governor Dix in which the
executive suggested to these officials
that possibly they were exceeding their
authority In arresting Socialist orators
merely because the latter addressed
crowds.
