MANY ARE STILL
TAX-DODGERS
Examiner Sands So Reports
! to State Tax Con1mis-
sion in Bichmond.
! !LARGE SUMS OMITTED
Suggests Prompt Prosecutions OF
. Prominent Men Of State for raise
Swearing to Tax Returns.

Richmond, August 20.-Citlzens ct
large wealth ard influence in Vir-
oinia, some OF whom hold positions OF
prominence a:d great responsibility
IL the State, but none Of whom
he specifically names, are accused OF
perjury by Mayor William II. Sands
Examiner of Records for the Tenth
District, in paper he has submitted
To the State Tax Commission for the
information of that body.
These men and many others ne
charges with swearing falsely for the
purpose of evading payment of their
lust taxes. Astonishing disclosures
are made with reference to tax dod-
ginp that has been persisted in for
many years. The Commonwealth and
the mechanic, the artisan, the far
mer, the small householder and
others of moderate means have been
the sufferers. The examiner Of rec
ords lays emphasis bon that fact,
F.! showing that the burden of the rich
man has been carried upon the shoul-
ders of the poor.
The suggestion Major Sands makes
tc the Tax Commission, which is
now in session and whose program Of
procedure may be shaped to meet un-
! suspected conditions revealed by the
examiner, are summed up briefly
thus.
On The general subject OF taxation
| hc says that reductions can be and
should be made at once for the bene-
/ fiji of people of moderate means.
On the question of equalization,
there can be none until there is q
disclosure of holding by wealthy tax
payers. =.
On segregation. "It is impossible"
he tells the Tax Commission, until
YOU are informed Of values of things
or properties justly available for Sc
sregation; though you can guess at
il or continue the burden on the small
j taxpayer
The remedy he plescribes is ap-
pointment by the Governor or State
Auditor of one or more officers to
review assessments made by Commits
sioners of Revenue, giving them pow
or to compel disclosures and impos-
inc severe penalties for false re-
: turns.
Speaking Of the evasion Of taxes by
, making false oath, Major Sands says
81 know the facts. Many would dis
like to have their sworn tax return;
] exposed. For years some have sought
to abolish the office of examiner, bu
tc one and all making that attempt,
:; have only to refer to their individual
cases or show the reasons actuatlns
their move. This applies not only t.
- the wealthy, but to others"
While no reference is contained u
- the report to what the office he
=, holding is worth to the examiner,
u is learned that his commissioner
y amounted last year in Richmond t
:, $500 and in Henrico County to ap
= proximately S2.7O0. This was brough

POSSIBILITY OF
AMERICAN POPE
Great Likelihood Of selec-
ton of Successor from
This Country.
PRESENT CARDINALS
Half Italian and Half FOreign-Seyen
.English-Speaking and Three Rep
resent These Races.

Rome, August 2O.-The chances OF
the election of a foreign Pope, pos
sihlv an American, as successor to
Pope Plus X, during the conclave to
be held within ten days, are greater
than at any time in the history OF
the Catholic Church.
For the first time in history the
Sacred College is directly representa-
tive of the entire Catholic world. 1t Is
literally an international BODY,
whereas in the pasta vast majority
Of the cardinals have been Italians
1.-THE creation of cardinals by Pope
Plus has wiped out this big majority
Az now constituted the Sacred COL
lece is composed of half Italians and
fhalf foreigners. The English speak
ling nations now have seven cardinals
Of their own, while three others are
regarded as representing indirectly
the English-speaking races.
! r. is considered certain that the
European war may also have great
weight in the selection Of the new
.Pope. Although the conclaves are
supposed to be removed from all out
side political influence, the election
,of a Pope always has developed INTO
la political struggle between the ma
+;o,s of the Triple Eutente and the
Triple Alliance, now at war.
Until the time of Pope Plus the
mower of veto was several times ex-
ercised, even in the conclaVe, by Car
dinals who had come to Rome with
instructions from the monarch Oh
their nation that the election OF some
cardinal believed to be friendly to
another power should not be per-
United.
D., Pope Plus was elected because OF
the veto registered by Cardinl Puzy'
no AGAINST Cardinal Rampolia on be-
ihalf of Emperor Franz Josef OF Aus
Itria. .
Il was because of this interference
that Pope Plus issued new order
for the conduct of the conclave. Pre-
vious Popes, of course, have denied
the right of France, Spain or Austrl;
r. veto the election Of any Pontlfr
but failed to make any provision III
suring it's enforcement.
The order of Pope Plus aoohsne
the veto and inAicts the sentence o
Iex-communication upon any carllna
/ or any other person who attempts
II exercise it. As consequence 1t
axnected that the conclave at Whlc
, the successor of Pope Plus will b
selected will be free from such II
:, terference.
o The English-speaking cardinal
n now in the Sacred College are Cal
y iGinals Gibbons, Farley, and OCoi
nell, of the United States; Bourr
J. and Gasquet, of England; Begin,
, Canada, and Cardinal Logue, of lr'
| land. In addition to these howeve
,e there is Cardinal Merry del Val, Wh
l. although of Spanish origin, was ed
ID Gated in England and is OF pr
II nounced English proclivltles. Caro-
IN nal Falconio, although Italian
ne birth, is a naturalized American eli
ne zon and for years was apostolic del
\ gate at Washington. Cardinal Ma
tineli, his predecessor at Washln
t. ton. was always consulted by 70
n Plus on affairs relating to the Unit
of States. 81

GREAT STRUGGLE
iRAG|NG As HOURS /! j
Germans Continue Steady
Advance Towards Capt.
tai Of Belgium.
FR1GHTFUL CARNAGE
FR1GHTFUL CARNAGE
Nearly Million Men Clashing-French
Frontier Covered with Dead and
Wounaed Combatants.

Frightful carnage is making the
great battle now raging Tor 1or'y-
eight hours on the plains of Belgium
The enormous extent of the Ger
man advance indicated by an official
announcement from the French war
office which admits that Germans
east of the Meuse have reached
Dinant, while the advance guard IS
taking positions along the river Dyle'
The Belgians are retiring on Ant
werp. while the German advance op-
Grating through Luxembourg has
reached Neufchateau, in Belgian
Luxembourg.
The Official statement from the
Paris war office says the Belgian
lines are slowly giving way before the
heavy German assault and retiring
"in accordance with the prearranged
plan." But nothing whatever IS saio
regarding the positions of the allied
army anywhere in Belgium.
The lines marking the battle front
where nearly million men are
clashing in the attempt of the Ger
man host to sweep through to the
French frontier are covered with dead
and wounded.
Neither the allied forces nor the IN
vaders have been able to remove the
wounded.
Strict censorship prevents detail
ing the number of casualties, but
each great army is pouring steady
fire from modern artillery into the
opposing line.
Persistent is the German advance.
Antwerp itself is evidently in danger
of investment. Louvain, the Belgian
field headquarters, is said to be in
the hands of the Germans
Namur is enveloped by the swing
ing German flanks. From the south
artillery is moving on its fortifica-
tions.. ..j;,',: 9. ~
From the north near Gembloux an
other strong force is moving against
the city. ~, :;
The high tide OF the battle fol-
twenty-four hours has, been between
Namur ands Qfnant. Tirlenapnt fell
before dashing cavalry charge and
is now occupied by "a German bat
terry. Y
The fighting continues from th'
Swiss frontier to Diest in Belgium
The Belgian war office, in review
irg the situation, insisted that, ,despit
the continpe ed German advance tn
moral effect of the operations ha
been victory for Belgium.
The German troops on the mort
side of the Meuse have succeeded i
gaining the ground to bring them II
to contact with the allies, it is sts
ted. ...... e..
After explaining that small boo
dies of Germans have been able t
penetrate far int Belgium, the Be
gium statement says:
"Fighting is proceeding on til
whole front, extending from Base
Switzerland, to Diest, Belgium, al
in these numerous contracts II
