RICHMOND, Va, September 90 1918.
Virginia's legislature will be forced to
deal with the subject of tax law revision
next year. The consensus Of opinion is
that the task is one which will not be
taken up at the session to begin here in
January, that body being limited by law
to just sixty days for the consideration
of all sorts Of measures. election of
judges and the consideration Of the
omnibus appropriation bill. That will
consume at least ten days of the session.
There have been several measures pro-
posed for amending the tax laws, some
favoring segregation. others demanding
that there shall be a board for equaliz-
ing the taxes in all parts OF the state
ON the same classes OF property.
Auditor C. Lee Moore, who has given
considerable time and attention to q solu-
ton OF the problem OF revision of the
laws SO that the burden shall be borne
without discrimination. favors a segre-
CATION OF taxes. This means that the
just what the people want for local pur-
poses. This plan Is supported by many
persons Speaker Byrd and former Sem
ator Floyd w. King have plans. and they
have explained them at considerable
length.
Demand for Extra Session.
There Is general sentiment that the al
lotted sixty days for the general as
sembly will not serve to afford the dts
cussion and consideration which the SUBJ
ject demands. and for that reason there
is a widespread demand for an extra
session OF thirty days during the coming
summer for this matter alone. The idea
ferred to a special committee OF eight to
twelve, and to have that committee sit
for some eight weeks and to hear all who
care to discuss the matter Of tax revi-
sion. then to formulate report and a

BOY FALLS THROUGH
 ELEVATOR SHAFT
Ten Year Old Lad Is Injured While
 Playing On First Floor at Hotel Pine.

The ten-year- old son of Mrs. Cald- we'll No. 302 West Fourth avenue, fell from the first floor of the Hotel Pine into the basement yesterday at noon and sustained fractured ankle and a scalp wound. A phsician was summoned who placed the ankle in a cast and sewed up the wound, after which the boy was carried to his home, where he is resting as well as could be expected at this time.
 The rumor that child had fallen through the elevator shaft, and sus- tained injuries from which he died later, grew out of this accident. The boy was playing in the new building and fell a distance of about twelve feet through the elevator shaft with the results stated above.

New York Aug. S.-President Huer ta, of Mexico, is preparing for war with the United States. He hopes to have the aid of the Japanese govern ment if hostilities begin. Mexico has already purchased fifty thousand rifles from Japan.
 Americans are preparing to flee from Mexico. Some have already ta- ken their personal possessions to Vera Cruz and then returned to the capi- tai to- await the outcome of the diff culties between this country and the southern republic.
 Efforts have been made to install the wireless equipment at the United States embassy in Mexico City, by which Americans might communicate with United States war vessels lying at Vera Cruz, but these efforts have thus far failed. The Mexican govern ment is accused of having baked this plan.
 These are some of the important and startling facts set forth in mail advices received here late today from the Mexican capital. At the time they were sent news of the resignation of Ambassador Wilson and the appoint ment of John Lind as special envoy had not been received. The situation at the present time is probably even worse for dispatches from Mexico City indicate that General Huerta is growing in popularity because or his defiance of this country. One letter received today says:
 Ut has been impossible to get the wireless into the embassy. It is at the disposal of the Mexican govern ment and will never be allowed to be installed in the embassy"
 Discussing Huerta's war plans the letter says: "Huerta does not intend to accept any offer short of recognit- ion from Washington. Every man Huerta can get hold of, including the clerks in the stores of the capital, is being drilled for service"

KEEP STERN VIGIL IN CALIFOR. MA WHITE SLAVE
 CASE.
Diggs and Caminetti Registered Under Assumed Names in Reno
 Hotel.

San Francisco, Aug. S.-Seven grim visaged woman, each seeming the special emissary of relentless justice, again kept stern vigil today over the court proceedings in the case of Maury I. Diggs, on trial in the United States District court for complicity in the abduction of Marcia Warrenton and Ola Norris
 Every witness, every court attend ant, the jurors and even the judge, himself, was fixed by the warning gaze and if justice goes bit awry, 1t won't be the fault of the number sev- en.
 The two young women who figure in the notorious Reno escapade were not summoned as witnesses today al thought the prosecution had expect ed to put them on the stand late in the afternoon. Instead, a long list o1 witnesses were examined, establishing the trip from Sacramento to Reno, the registering at the Riverside Hotel un. der assumed names and other things.
 Several of the witnesses pointed out Diggs and Caminetti in the court room as the men they had known as "Enright" and Ross" Attorney Dev- lin, of the defense, did not attack the validity of the testimony to the actual flight, but his questions indicated g future defense on the ground that tho women were not in any way led ol coerced, and had voluntarily and ir the best of spirit joined in the escap ade.

Washington, Aug. S.-Despite the threats of Huerta that he will not re- ceive the special envoy. Lind, official ly unless the lluerta government is recognized in his credentials. MT. Lind will go on to Mexico City and exc cute the orders given him by the presi- dent.
 This was the concrete development at the White House and State De- partment today, after the presentation to the president of Huertas defiance.
 The report was persistent tonight that Huerta had said great deal more to the State Department than had been given out. It was reported that he had served notice on this gov ernment that if it meddled in the in- ternal affairs of Mexico, Huerta would order all foreigners out of the country on fifteen hours notice. President Huerta has also warned the depart ment that massacre of Americans WOulu lOllOW ally ucClutu dtCIlOH DJ the government, except the recognit- ion of the Huerta reign.
 Officials of the State Department to whom these reports were referred were quick to deny them flatly. They said that no such messages had been received by the State Department. When the president was informed officially of Huerta's attitude, he sent post haste for Secretary of State Bry- an and Secretary of the Navy Daniels. After conference with these offic- ials the following statement was pre- pared at the State Department:
 "The statement of the Mexican for eign office was based on a misrepre- sentation for which this government is not responsible In sending Cover nor Lind as adviser to the embassy the president is entirely within his rights and the department will not as- sume that his going will be regarded as unfriendly when the character o1 his mission is understood"

BANKERS DISCUSS
 CURRENCY BILL Subject Was Injected Into Conference Held With
 McAdoo on Loans

Treasury Department Says Millions Are Available For Banks If
 They Are Needed.

Washington, Aug. 8.-Secretary Me- Adoo's conference with thirty-one middle western bankers concerning the governments loans of $5O,000,0 ,0OO to move the crops today resolved it. self into discussion of the admins, tration currency bill and the bankers unanimously voiced objections to the reserve clause of the bill. Senator Owen, chairman of the Senate Bank ing and Currency Committee, bowed beneath protest to the extent of inti- mating that the administration is look ing favorably towards the modifica- tion of the reserve clause and asked the bankers if they would favor inn mediate passage of the currency bill if the reserve clause Vas amended so as not to precipitate financial disturb ance.
 Twenty-nine bankers voted in favor of the passage of the bill at once if the reserve clause could first be so revised, only two bankers dissenting. Senator Owen asked a vote on wheth- CT the bill should pass at once as it stands or delayed indefinitely, but be- fore vote could be boiled a heated discussion arose. It continued until the conference was adjourned.
 Before the currency bill was inject ed into the conference Assistant Sec retary of Treasury Williams said he wanted to answer criticism that Sec retary McAdoo had bitten off more than he could chew, by undertaking to loan $50,0O0,000 of government funds because that amount was not avail able. Williams announced that in ad- dition to the fifty million dollars to be deposited in hanks for the moving of crops, there is available another dliun- dred million and even more if it is urgently needed.

 President Mitchell, of the Denver National Bank, said the banking inter- ests he represents want $20,0O0,0cO of the government funds for moving crops.

 $1OO,OOO Expense.

Little Rock, Aug. S.-There is very little prospect for the special session of the legislature, report stated the St. Francis levee board would ask for in order to pass an act authoriz- ing the board to sell $1,50O,000 in bonds at an interest greater than 5 1-2 per cent. Gov. G. w. Hayes, who stated he had not given the matter any thought, at the time the report was first sent out that the special session would be asked for, has stated he is against it.
 ''It would hardly be right" stated Gov. Hays, to require the whole state to pay out about $1O0,OOO for a special session to pass an act to permit the St. Francis levee board tc place additional taxation on the peo' pie of that district.
 Five and a half per cent seems to be a pretty good interest to pay for bonds, and greater amount would seem to be hardship on tht taxpayer. In Camden, on a little special improvement district we have
