PRESIDENT BREAKS
PRECEDENT AGAIN

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1o,--Tn the
past few months President Wilson
has quietly abolished a custom as time
honored as that which has led his
predecessors to send their messages
10 congress IN writing. He has dis
carded the custom of summonfng his
cabinet officers into those regularly
recurring conferences, known as cabi-
net meetings.
President Wilson's cabinet has not
met since July 25th. Meantime, the
ca binet as a body. constituted to
counsel with the president. and with
one another. on matters pertaining to
a common policy. and to the executive
departments, has practically ceased To
exist. Cabinet officers have become
merely the heads Of executive depart
ments, 10 be summoned into consul
tation by the president on matters
within tkeip own bailiwicks. or indi-
viduaiiy on the administrations poll
cies whenever Mr. Wilson sees fit.
Furthermore. IL was learned today
that the president has no intention of
lresumtng in the Immediate future.

VIRGINIA REALTY
SHOWS INCREASE
STATE AUDITOR MOORE GIVES OUT
SOME INTERESTING
FIGURES
FACTORS INVOLVED
VARIED CONDITIONS HAVE con-
TRIBUTED TO THE GREAT IN
CREASE SHOWN RETURNS
TO THE AUDITOR

Virginia real estate has noted an in
creased valuation of sI1,574,S5e during
the past fiscal year over the figures
SHOWN in 1914 according to a statement
given out at the office of State Auditor
C. Lee Moore yesterday afternoon.
The total valuation OF real estate
In Virginia amounts to 1921 .065, 29T
whereas s509,470.947 was the total reg
istered in the preceding year These
figures do not include the valuation
of minerals or Of mineral lands.
improvements along agricultural
lines and the great development of the
rural sections of the State during the
past year account for a great deal of
the increased valuation of the real
estate. it is thought The considerable
improvements made in town and city
lets as we'll as the increase In build
are also said TO account for much Ct
the increment noted in the auditor
report,
This growth in the real estate of
Virginia has had direct infsence
upon the business throughout the
State, as Is evinced by the fact that
n 500. 900 increase in merchants license
taxes has been reported at the audi
tors office. This increase is for the
first six months of the year. January
through July, as over the figures re-
ported during the same time for the
year before.
Grand Jury Investigations, instigated
by Auditor Moore. have already led to
an immense increase in the amounts OF
income taxes, real estate and personal
property reported, and it is expected
that when all OF the counties have
been heard from the figures already
reported viii note another great jump

GREssMAN DECIDES TO
FOREGo HIS AMBITION
WANTED IN HOUSE

! WASHINGTON, Oct. 1G.-President
Wilson has again demonstrated that
| he wields great influence as a party
I leader.
Announcement was made today that
as result of the good offices of the
president. Representative Henry D.
! Clayton. of Alabama, has decided to
withdraw from the race for the SEN
ate. This was brought about by let
/ ter from the president to Judge Clay
/ ton, dated October 10th, as follows:
| The Letter.
My Dear Mr.. Ciayton.-I am a
great deal concerned at the thought
of losing you from the working force
OF the house OF representatives. AS
the chief direction of affairs In the
present session has lain with the COM
mittee on ways and means, and the
committee on banking and currency,
/ foresee that the chief responsible
ties OF the next session Will lie with
the committee on the judiciary, of
which you are chairman. / was look
ing forward with great satisfaction to
| working with you and having your
experienced counsel, and assistance
| in the work that is before U.S. 1t
seems TO me. indeed. indispensable in
the carrying out of our party's pro-
gram.
Il do not deem myself at liberty
to suggest to you anything that would
interfere with your own personal
plans, and feel rather selfish in say
ing what / am saying, but | consider
ed 1t matter Of mere public duty on
my part to say how earnestly ! had
desired that / might have your aid
and counsel as chairman of the judi
iciary committee during the next SEES
sion and the next eengress--for our
work cannot be finished in a single
session. If / accomplish no more by
this than giving myself the pleasure
Of letting you know my personal es-
innate of you, I shall at any rate have
discharged my conscience in the mat
ter. and said what was really in my
mind and heart. If I dared. | would
beg you to remain in the house"
Mr.. Clayton promptly complied
with the suggestion of the president.
He said
Formal Answer soon.
Recognizing the president as the
head of the party, I do not see how /
can refuse to accede to his express
ed wishes. ! viii. however, make a
formal reply to the presidents letter
in a day or two"
President Wilson'S letter to Mr.
Clayton excited a good deal of COM
ment among political leaders With
the exception of his participation in
the New Jersey primaries, this Is the
first time that the president has
'interfered' in q political contest in
any Of the States.
The committee on the judiciary has
Jurisdiction over bills proposing laws
regulating the operations of inter
state corporations The president
thus, for the first time. gives formal
notice that he is to enter upon re-
vision OF the anti-trus, and other laws
regulating corporations at the De-
cember session of congress.
