Mr. Bryan said that for thirty

MANY DIE FROM
RECENT BLIZZARD.
Over Sixty Persons Perish
in Ice Fields Off New
Foundland.
RECOVER 40 BODIES
Great Anxiety Concerning Many 9th
ers Who Cannot be Located-An-
other Cold Wave Raging.

st. Johns, Newfoundland, April 3.
Facing the certainty that more than
three-score on the sealer Newfopnd-
land perished when caught in a bliz-
zard last Tuesday, and with the proba-
bility that the number of dead may
greatly excede the count, preparation
to receive the bodies was being hur-
ried here today by anticipation of the
early arrival of the Sealer Bellaven-
ture with the first consignment Of
the dead and injured.
Out of the blizzard which is raging
off here toGay, the wireless of the
Bcllaventure reported her position as
$50 miles from harbor. She cannot
reach St. John before this afternoon,
but, when she arrives the frozen seal
ing men she is bringing will be at
once rushed to hospital in the
Grenfell Seamen's Institute by the
men of the British Drill Ship Calyp-
so, who have been orderet to extra
duty to aid in the work.
1t is believed the Bellaventure is
bringing the bodies of forty men who
met death in the ice floes. She is
also reported to have on board thirty
odd survivors of the disaster, but ii
IS not yet certain what happened to
the Newfoundland, he rcaptain Wes-
ley Kean, and the remainder Of his
crew.
It is not believed the New Foum,-
land was crushed by the floes, but only
further word from the Bellaventurc
will clear up the story.
The fragmentary reports so far re-
ceived Indicate that thirty men Of the
New Foundland's crew are still unac-
counted for.
Some of these are believed to have
been saved by the steel whaler Ste
phano. and this vessel possibly is still
at the scene of the disaster searching

Act Of 1912 Held Unconsti-
tutional, and Home Of
fices Get 1913 Taxes.
NEW ACT IS IN FORCE.
Tax Commission, However, May Segre-
gate This Revenue to The Common
Wealth at Present.

Richmond, Va, April 3.-The roll
ing stock act of 1912 having been held
unconstitutional, Clerk r. T Wilson,
of the State Corporation Commission,
will today certify to the various
cities in which are located the pr:n-
cipai Offices of steam railroad lines
the assessment made by the State Cor
poration Commission on the rolling
stock of steam railroads as Of June
81, 1913. The tax will be levied in
each locality at the local rates. Mr.
Wilson explained that no penalty could
apply for non-payment, as the assess
ment had just been certified for the
year 1918, the delay having been due
to the litigation over the constitutions
ality of the act.
This will probably be the last time
that the rolling stock assessment is
certified to the cities in which the
home Offices are located, the recent
session of General Assembly having
passed an act, which, it is believed,
will meet the test of the courts, pro-
viding for the distribution Of this as
sessnent to the cities and counties
through which the railroads run, CIV
ing no preference to the home Office
locations. Even this act, it Is be-
lieved, will only apply for one year, as
it IS confidently expecte1 that the spe,
cial session of the General Assembly
in January, on advice of the Tax Com
mission.will provide new plan OF ta2;
alton under which the tax on rolling
stock will be segregated as 4 suo-
iect for taxation to the state alone
The act recently adopted will provide
for assessments at county rates. rath-
er that at city rates, thus largley rc~
ducing the total amount the railroads
must pay.
Mr.. Wilson will certify the follow
ing assessments on which taxes vii
be collected for 1913.
