NEGRO HOLDS UP WOMAN.

Boldly Robs Victim in
Her Confectionery Store.
Richmond, Aug. 4.-Whilc dozens
of people were passing on the side
wdlk just few feet away, an uniden-
+ificd negro yesterday morning, at
the point of a pistol, held up and
robbed Miss Mary Joseph in her con-
feosionery store at 925 North Twenty
ninth street, according to a report she
alter made to the police.
No customers we're in the place
when the negro, who was described as
being tall and black, entered and he
ind Mss Joseph were the only occu-
pants.
Asked what he desired, the black
politely requested that he be given a
So note in exchange for So in change.
Miss Joseph turned to her cash draw
er, took out the bill, and as she turn
I'd, she found the muzzle of a revolt
yer just a few inches from her face.
"Give ME that money" the negro
commanded, and Miss Joseph was
forced to obey. Without another
word, the highwayman backed to-
wards the door, opened it without in
preference and disappeared.

FEVER SPREAD BY PREVENTIVE
Vaccine is Blame for Outbreak of
Typhoid in Bristol.

y III LAiSto''
Bristol, Va, August 4.-The i'm
preston has been gaining in the last
few DAYS that vaccine used to prevent
typhoid fever in This city is at the
bottom of a number Of cases that
have developed. Former Mayor Gam
mon used the vaccine on his children,
and three of the four are now down
with typhoid. Two developed the fe-
yer after they had received the third
treatment, and third developed the
fever after receiving a second treat
ment.
If the fever is due to the vaccine, it
is likely to become epidemic here, as
a number of families have used it.
Former Mayor Cannon said that
the rumor that 600 cases have dcvel-
'oped in Bristol S absolutely without
foundation. "There are" he said.
probably not more than twenty five
fever cases in Bristol at present.
Other physicians confirm the state
ment that the fever is not epidem-
ic here

GIRL ACCUSES VICE CRUSADER.
Lace Mill Operator Charges he is the
Father of Her Child.

Lynbrook, L. l., Aug. 1.-The Little
court house here was throngeiI YES
terday when 1S-year-old Florence +.
Half, an operator in a lace mill, tes-
tilted that the father of her baby
born December /, was w. P. W. Half,
wealthy dealer in coal, editor, evan
gelist, politician and vice crusader.
The question of the child's paternity
arose when the overseer of the poor
sought to arrange for its support.
Half says the girls story is pre-
posterous and he ascribes the pro-
ceedings to enemies he has acquired
in his political fights and his vice
crusades. Half and the girl who ac-
cuses him are not related, notwith-
standing their names are the same.
The girl said she had met Half in
April, 1912. She said they had sew
eral automobile rides together, and
produced two notes designating
meeting place and signed "H. and
w" These she said, came from Half,
who will testify he nevor wrote them.
AS an evangelist he has preached in
many churches, although he has new
or been ordained. He is caleb the
"business evangelist" land he is now
occupying the pulpit of the First Bap-
fist Church at Patchogue.
The hearing will be continued on

FAVORS LOCAL ASSESSMENT.
Moore Says Board at Richmond Could
Not Fix Values in Various
Counties.

Richmond, Aug. Auditor Lee
Moore has issued the following state
.nent, giving his views on "a local tax
board rather than a State Board of
Equalization. He says:
"In my opinion board of equa!i-
zation at the seat Of government
could not fairly and justly fix the
values of real estate and tangible per-
sonal property throughout the state.
Such board must be dependent in a
great degree on the judgment OF
.othrs for fixing these values. Values
of live stock vary in the different sec
tions of the State. The same is true
of real estate. Adjoining farms vary
in value.
"For many reasons the power to
assess is too far removed from the
property and from the people inter-
ested and vitality concerned, and it APP
pears the plan is impracricable and
Impossible of satisfactory and just
operation.
"Let every county and city be dc
pendent for its revenue upon the as
sessment of property within its boun-
diaries, and I venture to predict ahe
