Awaits Decision on Appeal.

dispatch from Staunton, Va. an
nouncing that c. Jones RiXey, former
head of the collapsed Virginia Safe De-
post and Trust Corporation, now an in
mate of the asylum at Staunton, Va, had
escaped being sent to the asylum for the
criminal insane at Marion, Va, was an
interesting bit of news in Alexandria. 1t
is said Rixey cannot be sent to Marion
until the United States Supreme court
passes on his case. An order of the local
court was that he be sent to the Marion
institution upon the completion of the
new addition TO the asylum
His attorneys took the case to the
United States Supreme Court on the
ground that it is not constitutional to
commit person to criminal institution
until he is convicted of a. crime. R1Xey
was indicted on a number of counts IN
connection with the failure of the concern
of which he was the head He was never
tried on any of the indictments, having
been declared of unsound mind by a com
mission of aienists. Since that time he
has been patient in the asylum at
Staunton Va
Pending the action of the highest court
i'm the land no further action can be taken
by the local authorities in the case.

special Correspondence of The Star.


: ALEXANDRIA. Va, March Is, 1918.
Mote than one hundred large Washington
corporations. including hotels and real es-
tate corporations. together with smaller
concerns, will be affected by the proposed
enforcement of a state law by State Au-
dtor c. Lee Moore, which provides for
the taxing of all corporations chartered
under the laws of the state of Virginia.
1t is proposed to make these corporations
pay an annual tax of 35 cents on the
500 on its capital stock, which is the
prescribed state rate.
There are about $50 corporations whose
business is outside of Alexandria, but
Which are chartered under the laws of
Virginia, and have their principal offices
in Alexandria. If the tax is collected it
VIII, of course, prove source of con-
siderable revenue to the state. Auditor
Moore was in this city yesterday and dis
cussed the proposed enforcement of the
law with Commonwealth Attorney S. &.
Brent. Mr.. Moore has already written
letter to Commissioner of Revenue
Charles IL. Callahan the subject.
The s-saSJ enforcement of the law. it
is predicted. will drive from Virginia
most of the foreign corporations. which
nsN. pay a small tax every year In COM
pllance~ with the state corporation law.
Many. however annually go out of bust
ness. it is said. or forfeit their charters
by failing to pay the required fee. The
proposed enforcement of the order. be-
came operative February last. it is an
nourced. The law is an old one but has
never been put into operation.
Mr.. Callahan. commissioner of revenue,
will at once proceed to the collection of
the tax by filing the usual interrogatories
with the attorneys in Alexandria.

here Yesterday from the island on the
Roval Mail liner Orotava and fastened
TO New Bedford, Mass, where the Evelyn
is expected to arrive tomorrow.
The shippers life was threatened by
some S25 Portuguese whalers when the

advisable to come here on the Orotava
and let the mate take her TO New Bed
ford.

tons. is owned by Captain Alessi. she lelt

cording to the skipper, the chief engineer
did not know his business and consumed
so much coal that the bunkers were al
most depleted when within two days
steaming of Bermuda.
Realizing that he would soon have 10
drift al the mercy of wind and urrent.
Captain Alessi set his men TO tipping up
the decks and every bit OF wooden httinSs
that could be spared. These. with all the
Iifeboats. were consigned TO the furnace
and made enough steam TO propel the YES
sci within signalling distance OF the Der
mudas. The Portuguese whalers were an
cry because their hunks had been burned

slow passage would prevent their getting

aboard, waved his right Of salvage and
