MUST PAY LICENSE TAX.
Auditor Serves Notice That Law
Exempting Physicians Will Not
Apply This Year.

Richmond, April l7-Physicans
and surgeons will be required to
take out State licenses this year, as
heretofore, the act of the General
Assembly which exempts physicians
not being in effect until after the
license period has = passed. State
Auditor OF Public Accounts G.. Lee
Moore issued a printed circular of
iastru- tons to commissioners of
the revenue yesterday, giving as a
schedule cf the cost of the various
statutes on the subject of license
taxes. Under the head of "Physic-
ia.s and Surgeons" Mr.. Moore said:
"You will this year require ply
sirians ard surgeons to take out
licenses. as heretofore IN compli-
ance with the tax laws of 1912, be-
cause the act relieving physicians
and surgeons of tip payment OF
state license tax is not an emergency
act. therefore not in force until on
and after June 10, 1914; consequent
ly, physicians and surgeons must,
for the license year commencing
MAY l, 1914, take out the license
provided for in the tax laws of
1912"
The ruling will mean a saving OF
about $4,000 to the State, as that
is the amount the State. will lose an
nually under the operations of the
new act.

arce From Rurleson Before Sus-
gasting Names,

Dany:lle. Va, April 17.-Senators
Martin and Swanson refuse to recort-
sfsn3 eng men for appointment as
postmasters in the Ninth District un-
ii! Postmaster General Burleson de-
clares without equivocation that their
recommendation will be followed.
Burleson has written to the Senators
advising them that their wishes re
gardinF the Bristol office will be given
consideration, But the Senator's do
not consider that as going far enough,
and to prevent any embarrassment
byuhaviHg their recommendations
overruled, they will not make them
until assured that they Will positively
be followed. :
That the senators intend to go to
extremes in maintaining their position
in this matter is shown in the nomi-
nation of A B. Buchanan at Taze-
we'll The senators take the position
that they reccrnended the appoint
ment of J. B. Boyer and intend that
he shall be appointed. The qualifica-
tions of Buchanan, they insist 20 not
enter the situation so far as they a
concerned
Face to face with crucial situa-
tion. Postmaster-General Burleson
may relieve the tension by allowing
R. Tate Irvine, the Democratic con-
gressional nominee from the ninth
district to act as referee on dividing
the ninth district patronage. Should
Burleson take this step he will extri-
cate himself from an embarrassing
situation, and his decision will greatly
please the senators and the majority
Of the Ninth district Democrats, who
are weary of seeing Republicans still
holding on to the good Offices under
the Democratic administration.

Federal Commanders Mas
and Campo Believed to
Have Fallen.
REAR GUARD SUFFERS.
Huerta's Troops Said to be Returning
With Villas Cavalry in Hot Pur-
suit After Slaughter.

Torreon Mexico, April II. With
Gen. Joaquin Mas and Gen. Emilio
P. Campo reported slain and Gen. Re-
fugio Velasco and two other generals
badly wounded, the three divisions of
the Mexican federal army in this
,iistrict-the division of the north, the
division of the Nazas and the divi-
sion of the Del Rio Brava-command-
ed by eighteen generals, is retreating
steadily toward the east today, pur-
sued by Cavalry columns sent out by
Gen Francisco Villa.
After a six-hour engagement at
Benavides station, near San Pedro,
the main body of federals evacuated
that place early Thursday, leaving
1000 troops in the town to make
show of resistance, fooling Villa In
believing they still were trying to
hold the place and cover the flight OF
the main column.
The movement amountet 10 Sacrl-
flee of one thousand men composing
the rear guard, as 700 Of them were
killed in the attack yesterday, when
Gen. Villa ordered his entire force of
10000 rebels to close in. The other
300 were captured, most of them hav-
mo been wounded.
The prisoners declare Gen. Mas
and Gen. Carspa were killed in the
six-hour battle at Benayides, and that
Cen, Vclasco was SO badly wounaed
that he will iie. This is Velasco's
second wound since the Torreon cam
paign opened.
Twelve hundred more federal pris-
oners, 900 of whom are wounded,
were brought here last night, making
total of 1000 federals captured by
Villa in the battles of San Pedro and
Benavides. Nearly all. of the prison
ers have taken the oath Of allegiance
10 the const;tutionalist cause. Joining
| Villas army is optional with the
men.

in her garden. These cucum-

came from her garden and are
the earliest that she knows of.
