SERVICE HERE
NOT Affected

Although the Pennsylvania rail-
road is pursuing policy which will
cause material reduction of ex-
penses, Perth Amboy will not be
affected in any manner by this plan.
This can also be said about ooutn
Amboy, Old Bridge and Spotswood.
No trains will be taken off the local
division, and none of the employees
here will be laid off. The reduction
of expenses will apply principally to
the elimination of trains on the main
line of the Pennsylvania railroad and
employees in shops at the road termi-
nails. The clerical force will prac-
tically maintain its normal status.

Torreon, Mex, April 3.-The last
soldier of General Jose Velasco's s
magnificent army of 10000 is today
either killed, wounded, captured or
in flight. Torreon has fallen. The
rebel army of General Villa, one-time
bandits, is in possession and this
city, once the federal stronghold of
Mexico, Is humbled at his feet
Already the rebel movement to-
ward Monterey and Saltillo has be-
gun. A battle between the forces of
Carranza and Huerta will be fought
In these two places.
Although the rebels have been In
possession of the greater portion of
Vorreon since Tuesday afternoon,
General Villa would not permit the
| announcement of the capture until
last night, when all street fighting
had ceased and the resistance of the
garrison was absolutely brought to
an end. General Velasco and a small
bodyguard escaped last night from
the canyon where he had been en-
trenched since Tuesday.
Fighting for the possession of Tor
reon was almost continuous since
last Saturday night, when Villa gave
the signal to begin the final assault.
To the magnetic personality of Villa
goes the whole credit for the victory.
Before the final assault at 6 o'clock
Saturday night, Villa rode along the
rebel lines pointing at Torreon.
There IS Torreon! We must take
it tonight. win you follow me into
it comrades?" he cried
HYas VOC pa,ra tho oDouay in n
thunder of cheers. I'VE will die for
you, general"
"Esta Bueno," said Villa simply.
'Let us co.
Instantly thousands of targets of
| fire leaped from the rebel rifles on all
sides of the besieged city and the
guns of the attackers began to boom
hurting shell after shell against the
doomed garrison. The federal artil-
lery was not idle, neither was the
federal riflemen inactive. Villas men
advanced steadily, although great
gaps were made In their ranks, thew
never faltered. Yells of rage and
curses rose from them, but they con-
tinued to advance.
Villa, armed with a rifle and car
rying no sign of his high office,
fought like any common soldier.
Step by step, street by street Villas
army entered the town. They fought
from house to house through a
barricaded street to barricaded
street until the forces clashed hand
to hand. Villa himself was every
where.
While General Villas army is get
ting much needed rest today, boys
and fresh soldiers are cleaning up
the city, burying the dead or other
wise disposing of them. The dam
age done by shells, bombs and fire.
during the eleven days battle is
enormous.
The greatest problem which con-
fronts Villa is that of feeding the
citizens, many of whom are on the
point of starvation A system of
soup kitchens has been established
through the city where bread and
meat is being dispensed to the Mexi-
cans of the lower class.
Villa today denied reports that
Federal reinforcements are on the
way here. Early in the fight he
took precautions to destroy the
railroads in all directions and main
tanning parties fifty miles off to
watch for approaching bodies of the
enemies.

MILLIONS OF FISH DYING.
Fishermen and Watermen at Loss TO
Explain Destruction of


Newport News, Va, April 2l-Fish-
ermen and watermen here ana along
The shores of the James river are
much puzzled by the wholesale dyins
of small fish, which has been going
on for the past several weeks. Pc
of this city have noticed that i'm
places whole schools of little fish
would come to the surface Of the Wa
ter. Some were dead, while others
were slowly succumbing to some NAL
ady. Reports from the river, espc-
cially between Ferguson's Wharf, and
Claremont, say that little fish have
washed ashore in such numbers as 20
line the beach for a depth of several
inches in some places. Hogs and
fowls have Toasted for weeks but could
not begin to diminish the supply.

rings anti shad, but just what causes
the wholesale spread of death is a
mystery. Some believe that it nhy be
due to the refuse dumped in the river
by the chemical factories near Rich
mond which has been brought further
down the James than usual by the
heavy rains of the past few months.
1t is feared that the dying off Of so
many young may seriously affect the
fishing industry this summer and next.

FIVE YEARS IN PRISON. il
Woman Who Claims Nicholas Es,
tate Convicted of Fraudulent
Use of Mails.

Harrisonburg, Va, April 21.-The
famous Nicholas poison will case
takes new turn as a result of the
fact that Miss Ella McClendon, Of

BEGINS WORK TODAY.
Tax Commission Will Complete Or.
ganization and Make Plans.

Richmond, April 21.-The State
Commission met in the Senate cham
Der today and entered upon the duty
for which it was named-that of rec
ommeding changes i'm the methods
for taxation in the State.
The commission declared that it
will not engage a corps of clerical
help till the progress has been such
as to make the engagement inpera-
tive in order to facilitate the general
work of the commission. In other
words, the commission will resort to
the most rigid economy in order to
keep well within the appropriation
set apart for it.
The plans for actively beginning
the work were arranged, and there
will be committees to take up var
aous phases and to make reports
and to have the several classes of
properties arranged and their ac-
tual value as ascertained by the COM
misSioners determined.
Then will come a discussion as to
the segregation-giving certain
classes to the counties and cities and
others to the State.
This will open up the way for a
discussion of the general plan of
taxation, and there will be hearings
from persons and organizations in all
parts of the State.

VICTIM OF PLANNERS.
Fake $1,000 Bill is Used to Defraud
Man in South Richmond.

Richmond, April PA lesson m
"flin,-flamming" Saturday afternoon
nroyed costly to Lonnie Alexander,
am aged negro farmer of Chester
field county, when two young ne
groes defraud him of $59.62 by the
use of a fake $1,000 bill.
Two young negro men were stand
ing at the corner of Tenth and Hull
streets, South Richmond, Thursday
morning when Alexander drove by
in a wagon. No. l asked the Old
man for a Gift" in the wagon while
No. 2 stopped and picked up peck
etbook which lay at his feet. Exam
ing the contents of the pocketbook,
No. 2 told the old man it contained
a $1,000 bill. He led the old negro
to believe the money had been drop
ned by some one entering the Man.
chester National Bank, at Tenth and
Hull streets.
"No one knows we have this bill, y
spoke up No. 2, when short dis
taa,ce from the bank. "We three will
whack it up. The old man "felP' for
the scheme mad became interested in
the sharing of the money. Here was
the chance of his life, he thought.
Accordingly he took his two "com-
parions" to his home near Stop II,
Chesterfield county, where they
spent the. night and ate chicken at
the breakfast meal Saturday morn
ing.
No. 1 promised Alexander's wife
silk dress in payment for the
nights lodging. No. 2 said as soon
as he changed his bill he would give
her SO. The old man, already seeing
visions of his share of the $1,000"
drove his friends to the city about
noon.
Alexander went to the Manchester
National Bank and drew out $59.62
No. l went to a telephone and asked
his "boss" to change the $1,000 bill.
The "boss" required 500 to change
the bill. Meanwhile, No. 2 went
away and returned with sealed en-
velope, which, he informed Alexan-
der, contained $50 of the 500 need
ed to change the big bill.
AS an evidence Of good faith,
Alexander was asked to place his
S59.62 in a sealed envelope. AleXan-
der, unsuspecting, gave No. 1 his
money. No. 2 excused himself while
his "buddy" was making the change,
saying he had to make small pur-
chase. No. l and his dean friend,
No. 2, never returned with the
change.
Alexander waited four long hours
at Fifth and Cary streets for his two
friends" to return. When at last
the truth dawned upon him, the old
man went to the Third police sta
tion. South Richmond where he re-
ported his lost.

SCHOOL BOOK LIST.
Authorities Will Endeayor to Prevent
Frequent Changes Hereafter.

e -
Richmond, Va, April 21.-The
State Board Of Education met yester-
day informing to begin its work OF Sc
lecting text books for the public
schools for "a period of not less than
four nor more than seven years.
Committees have for some time been
engaged in examining various texts
submitted to them, and though their
wor ks far advanced, it does not now
seem probable that there will be any
final adoption Of books until the last
session of the board.
The task of selecting textbooks IS
one of the most difficult that the board
has ever set itself. 1t will be finish
cd only after careful and exhaustive
study and a close comparison OF the
many anil varied texts submitted by
the publishing companies.
No official statement of the progress
of the work of selection or of the po-
sition of the board in regard to
standardized system for rural and city
schools was given out yesterday, but
it is generally understood that the
hoard desires to carry out the prln-
chile of single list logically and
completely. This will mean "a change
of books in several instances in wa'ch
different books are now used in the
counties and cities. 1t setrs probable
that the same basal books Will be
adopted for both counties and cities
in every instance. The needs OF
schools whose cirricula are more az
vanced and, complex will be met by the
adoption of Ia liberal list OF supple
mentary books.
1t is said also to be the desire of
the State Board of Education to do
away with the frequent changes that
have been characteristic in the past.
Prior to 1912 the custom prevailed
of selecting books for the elementary
school sduring one biennum and for
the high schools during the succeed
ing biennum. In other worlds, the ele-
mentary books were adopted :or four
years in 1908, for example, ami high
school books in 1910. The next aGop-
ton of elementary books was due II
1912, 21at the State Board deliber-
atcly postponed that selection until
1914 IN order to avoid the perpetual
changing IF books, which have prov
I'd enjoying to both patrons and
teachers
It requires two years to complete
an exchange of books, and when
aiGptiGas follow each other every two
years the7 is created upon the minds
vi the people a feeling that books
are changed every year Thu: is be-
cause of the fact that by the time
the elementary books are exchanged,
the high school adoption of Q new set
is due, and Curing the two years that
must elapse before the high school
exchanges are completed, the time to
select elementary books comes around
again. The board will bend every eff
fort to relieve this situation, and it is
probable that textbooks will be adopt
ed for period of seven years.
