Two officers and nine men. comprising

meath the waters OF Whitesand Bay,

opinion that all had perished.
The exact spot where the little vessel
sank could not be definitely fixed. The
"A7," in company with the "AS" and
"A9," made a plunge about noon to-
day while engaged in manoeuvres. Her
sister ships came to the surface at the
END of the manoeuvres. but nothing
has been seen of the AT since she
opened her valves and dived. At first
it was believed the""A7' merely was
overstaying her allotted time beneath
the water. sbut when officers realized
their sister boat was in distress they
sent out signals for aid.

positors, but Not at Price

Immediate action on the Weaver bill
practically to remove the tax on bank

GOVERNOR Henry c. Stuart who
requested temporary postponement.

taking up the Weaver bill which is an
emergency measure, so as to make it
effective by February l.
Mr.. Stuart, in his communication to
the committee, said he deemed the
matter of such vital Importance. as its

taken; especially so in view of tho
fact that tho Senate Finance Commit

The committee unanimously ont of
courtesy to the Governor elect voted
TO pass the bill by until Monday morn

or the committee from the Virginia
bankers Association, had previously
appeared, and had explained the meas

Slr. Stuart expressed himeslr to his
callers as concurring In the view that
certain amounts should he altogether
