Railroads May Pay More.

Railroads of the state may have to pay
more taxes than they have heretofore
The state corporation commission has
fixed Tuesday next as the date for be-
ginning the hearing when the matter Of
fixing the valuations for assessments will
be determined. There is some question
as to what will be the final outcome of
the matter. 1t is recalled that the legis-
lature passed a. measure which provides
for the distribution of the rolling stock
tax. The cities will lose heavily by rea-
son of this, the taxes having heretofore
been paid to the headquarters of the
companies. The counties will get this tax
in part. The rate is lower in the coun-
ties than in the cities. The railroads
will save the difference. The cities are
expected to come in and to ask that the
valuations be increased in order to meet
to considerable extent the losses which
will follow the distribution of the roll
ing-stock tax. The commission has de-
cided that the money of the roads in the
banks shall be taxed as though 1t we're
the property of private parties and under
the general laws.
81 am convinced that in the state of
Virginia there is no less than $4,000, go
of intangible property which is escaping
taxation. l believe that the sum is many
times that, but we have no way to get at
it, This was the statement made by a
member of the state tax commission.
This phase of the tax question is now en-
gaging attention. and efforts are being
made to evolve plan which will force
this class of tax dodgers-the holders of
notes, stocks. bonds. deeds of trust, etc
to declare the same or to suffer heavy
penalties. The idea is being advocated
that to compel owners who shall fail to
make a proper return and who shall ask
the courts to enforce payment to forfeit
one-fourth of claim to the state for such
failure. Another provision will be that in
case the tax is not paid that the lender
shall never recover anything from the
debtor. Maj. William H. Sands, exam
liner of records for this circuit, says he
will add 100000 to taxable values if the
laws are changed sufficiently to enable
him to investigate the affairs of the liv
ing as well as the accounts of the dead.
He has added several millions of dollars
to the assessed values. by his excellent
work through examination of the settle
ments of estates OF dead persons.
The State Debt Question.
Here this week Specia, Master Charles
z. L,ttlefeld. designated by the Supreme
Court of the United States to take the
accounts and make a report on the debt
controversy between Virginia and West
Virginia, resumed his work. There are
about eight lawyers representing the
state of West Virginia, while there are
four representing Virginia. The state of
West Virginia claims at this time that
the offsets which she has against Vir-
ginia will leave this state under obliga-
lions to West Virginia The hearing is
mass of figures, exhibits, statements

Special Correspondence of The star.
RICHMOND. Va September with
two weeks remaining before the voters Of
the state pass ON the question of prohi-
bition the campaign has developed what
was feared-acrimony, hard feeling,
strong language and a resort to the short
and ugly word. This is true as regards
both sides, and the people are disguised
with the turn the matter has taken.
There is and has been argument and
charges and counter charges. Some OF
the expressions have been Incorporate
in every way. And it is doubtful if there
has been any marked change of sentiment
on the part of the voters since the
fight was first begun. The majority of
the people have refrained from any part
in any of the discussions, and all that
has been said of a harsh and unbecom-
ing character has been by the enthusi-
asts and the people who are leading in
the contest The papers are teemlng
with expressions in the shape of paid
advertisements in every part of the state,
and while these are being printed it has
happened in a great many cases that the
editors have repudiated the statements
contained and are advocating just the
advertising columns
That there has been some change of
sentiment Is declared by the vets in their
statements, this being due in consider
able measure to the allegations that the
temperance people would make war on
tobacco following a successful fight
against liquor. This report has been de-
MED by the temperance people. The fact
that nearly 5000 persons signed the call
for the statewide election inspires the be-
lief that the state will go cry by a good
majority. some placing it as high as
10000. The liquor men are claiming the
reverse and say that the state will go
wet by anywhere from 10000 to 5000.
The most interesting announcement
made here lately is that regarding Gov
Stuart. He is the man who approved
the statewide bill, which made the cleo
ton possible. 1t is said with what is
regarded as unquestioned authority that
he will vote against statewide prohibition
and will stand for the democratic doctrine
of local self-government. The governor,
however. has not authorized any state
ment and has declined to be interviewed
on the subject.

CHARGES THAT COMBINE
RULES THE GRAIN MARKET
Samuel n. Greeley, Former Broker Of
Chicago, Cites Board Of Trade Deals
Federal Action Asked.

Washington, March 5.-Simultane-
ously with an investigation by the
house committee on rules OF charges
of grain swindling by the Chicago
board of trade and the Minneapolis
chamber Of commerce, the senate has
begun the consideration of the Nc
Cumber bill, which provides for ma
tional grain inspection and grading
II the bill is passed it will strike a
heavy blow at Chicago az primary
grain market. The Chicago board of
trade was arraigned as a giant of
fictitious wheat transactions" and the
weapon of a price-controlling monop-
oily by Samuel II. Greeley of Chicago,
who for more than twenty years was
a member of the board.
Appearing before the house rules
committee in behais OF wheat grow
ers' organizations Of the northwest,
Mr.. Greeley urged federal action
against an alleged monopoly main
tanned by the public warehouse men
of Chicago and other market centers
Through memberships on the Chi
cago board and control of the storage
of grain the warehouse trust" he de.
clared, had built up an organization
which controls the wheat prices of
the world more thar any other agency
except war scares and financial
panics." The key to the situation was
dealing in futures where no delivery
was intended, he declared. and In this
business the Chicago Board of Trade
outstripped the other markets of the
world combined.
Evidence was submitted TO the COM
mittee designed to show that the ware
house trust began business in 1887
and increased in power until the Chi
cago board was now "tnrottled and
controlled by the public warehouse
men,"

that tragedy at Juarez was the chief

In addition to saying that Great

Great Britain would not employ force

to have expressed his approval and ap-

has developed an intention on the part
of the American government to take
more aggressive attitude toward the

Work Together.

Madison-Fannie Epstein and Jen-
ME Isaacson, held here on charges of
stealing diamonds from the Gamm
JeWelry store. have been identified
by the Pinkerton detective agency at
Chicago as clever operators in sew
eral large cities.
The agency has informed Chief of
Police Shaughnessy that Jennie
Isaacson is Mrs Ida stohler, whose
name was formerly Mrs. Cohen. She
is a hair dresser and lives at 1914
North Western avenue, Chicago. Her
husband is Max Stohler, an iron
worker.
Fannie Epstein, the agency goes on
TO say, has long list of aliases and
prison record. Her correct name
is Mrs. Solomon Keller. She was
formerly Mrs. Max Meltzer and lives
at $40 Reed street, Chicago.
In 1906 she was arrested for lar
eeny at Washington, Pa, and was
sentenced to eighteen months at
Philadelphia. In 1909 she was ar
rested in Chicago for shophfting and
got i've days and $50 fine. She
gave her name as Richie Weinstein.

dollars worth of diamonds through
out the United States. They have
gotten rich at it."
Ben Banks, Minneapolis jeweler,
identified the two women as the ones
who on Feb. IL took two parcels con-
tanning 249 diamonds. worth $1,000,
from the store.
Both were dressed lavishly in furs
and had all the signs of wealth and
luxury. He thinks one of the wom-
en- slipped the stones in her stock
ing.
The same women were identified
by Otto Stumpf, president of the
Stumpf Jewelry company, 209 State
