GETS LEGAL OPINION.
Under the Ruling of the Attorney
General the State Will Save About
$4,000 on Income Of Year.

Richmond, Va, March 31.-On ad-
vice cf the Attorney General, State
Auditor of Public Accounts c. Lee
Moore ruled yesterday that physici-
ans and surgeons should be assess
ed for their 1914 license taxes, as
heretofore. The act Of the recent
General Assembly eXempting physicl-
ans from payment Of licenses Will moi
take effect until June 20, by which
late the assessments Of this year wi!:
have been completed.
Mr.. Moore issue, yesterday the fol-
lowing official notice to commission
ers Of revenue:
"The act relieving physicians of the
payment of State license tax is not ali
driergency act; therefore is not in
force until on and after June 20; COLI
.sequently physicians must, for the IL
cerse year, commencing May l, 1914,
take out license as is provided for If
the tax laws Of 1912"
This ruling will mean saving to
the State during this year of from
$4,000 to $4,000
The act in question became a :aw
without the approval of Governor
Stuart. AS it will not apply to the
1914 assessment, the new law be-
comes moot question, as it is anti
cipsted that the Tax Commission VIII
revise the whole system of license
taxes, and in so doing it will not be
bound in any way by any act of tn'
recent session. Governor Stuart al
Flowed this bill and the rolling stocE
act TO become law without his sigma
ture. holding that both matters should
be left open for the consideration OF
the special session on taxation, which
i;n.ay sacide on the entire revision OF
abolition of the license system, anc
will certainly consider plan for seq
Irerat;ng to the State all rolling stoci
taxes. 1t is stated that the rolling
stock act, as recently passed, will have
the effect of largely reducing th(
I;smount to be paid by the railroads 1o1
tax on cars and engines, as the Tar
will hereafter be paid at local count!
rates rather than at the higher cit.
rates which have heretofore prevail

"HIGHER CRITICISM"

New York, March 31.-That the

more than perhaps any other one

be Ready to Surrender
Garrison.
VELASCO \.DELIRIOUS.
Villa Said to be Waiting Orders From
Carranza as to Terms With Federal
Commander

Juarez, Mexica, Marc 31.-Reports
that an armistice is in effect be-
tween Mexican federals and rebels
at Torreon, in order that General
Jose Refugio Velasca, the federal
commander, may treat for the surren-
der of the city to General Villa, were
practically confirmdi today by officers
close to Gen Venustiano Carranza,
first chief of the Mexican revolution.
1t was impossible to learn from Car
rama himself whether the report was
true. because he refused to be seen by
newspaper men, but it was stated on
high authority that he had received
news to the effect that Villa, who
had put the whole matter up to his
chief, and cause; a cessation Of hos
tilities while awaiting the reply. Car
rama is said to have replied to his
message, but what course he outlined
is not known.
General Velasco, Federal command
err at Torreon, went wildly insane
while raging up and down the trench
es at Gomez Palacio, in ore of the sew
en- assaults made by the constitution
alists before that stronghoa2. was
taken, according to Robert Dorman,
staff photographer of the Ell Paso
Morning TIRES, who reached FL Paso
late Monday night, direct from the
battlefield.
Feaeral soldiers were compelled to
overpower their chief and lock him in
a room in hotel unit! he had recover
ed his senses.
It WIS Velasco's absence from the
firing line which caused'the circula-
tjon of rumors that he had been slain
IN battle. His bravery was noted
by every one at the front, and ultl-
mately his death was lookGl for by
every one who observed his courage
and unnecessary exposure to the lire
Of the enemy.
Dorman said Col Victoriano Huer'
ia, son of the Mexican dictator, was
killed in the trenches at Gomez Pala'
clio in one of the earlier attacks, ac'
cording to federal prisoners taken BY
Villa. Colonel Huerta had displayed
Imarked valor, they declared.

has upset the moral gumption OF

WILSON DEFENDS REPEAL.
Advises Reputation of Plank II
National Platform.

Washington, March 31.-President
Wilson declared yesterday that on
account of the contradictory state
ments in the Baltimore platform
Democrats should have no heslta-
ton in voting for the repeal OF the
Panama Canal tolls exemption.
The President emphatically char
acterized the exemption as subsidy
and pointed out that one plank in the
Baltimore platform expressed oppo-
sition to any subsidy, direct or IN
direct, while another plank declared
for tolls exemption The President
asserted there should be no doubt
among Democrats as to which
should take precedence.
|. Mr.. Wilson reiterated that exemp-
ton never was a policy of the Dem
,Hcratic House because it was passed
through a coalition of Republicans
and a minority of Democrats, the
majority of Democrats voting
against it on the ground that it was
subsidy.
The President explained that ever
if the international situation to
which he referred in his message
had not arisen, he would have beer
I;opposed to the tolls exemption a:
| against Democratic doctrine. BUT
he indicated that if it were not fo>
the international situation he di;
not feel that it would have beer
proper for him to question the act
of a previous administration. -
The President said he had no an
xiety over any political friction il
the Democratic party over the re
! suit, and referred to the repeal con
/ test as not @capital operation
| but, lust a "convalescence."
! Mr.. Wilson let it be known tina
Ihe was unqualifedly opposed to an
compromise or amendments, sue
as have ben proposed in the Senate
He is for a straight repeal wlthou

Instructs Deputies That Income Re-
turns Are Strictly Confidential

Richmond, Va, March 31.-Collect-
or of Internal Revenue NJ. <. Lowry,
acting upon instructions from Com
missioner of Internal Revenue Os-
born, has issued orders to the men en-
gagged in the income tax collection
work, that underno circumstances are
they to ';livulge the nature of the re-
turns made to the government by
taxpayers.
The commissioners or&er, which
was addressed to all the collectors Of
internal revenue, reads rs follows:
"The attention of collectors of IN
ternal revenus, internal revenue
agents and other officers concerned, is
invited to section 3167 of the United
States revenue statutes, which pro-
hibits the disclosure of information
contained in income and other returns
of internal revenue taxpayers.
"All internal revenue officers viii
preserve as inviolably confidential '2lI
iIiacome tax returns, as the slightest
:nfract!on Of the law upon this suo,
ject will be severely punished"
! 1t is understood that this sweeping
order was issue'I as the result Of
charges made in Chicago that the wo.
men income tax collectors of th2'
city, who were employed to assess tht
lpersonal property of the wealthy tax
pavers. were talking. There has beer
no evidence of any character to indi
cate that the income tax deputies at
tached to the internal revenue distric
have been gossipping about the re
turns but the promHlg2tion OF tn
commissioner decree will be guar
antee against any indiscreet cenvel
sation in the future.
