SEIZURE OF R. R. TRAIN
HALTED BY INJUNCTION
Court Interposes Order Against Pro-
posed Method of Collecting Taxes
in Alexandria County.

A Southern railway train just escaped
seizure at Alexandria Thursday by the
service of an injunction on Wade Ball.
treasurer Of Alexandria county. Under a
law passed at the last session of the Vir-
ginia legislature the tax on rolling stock
of railroads goes to the counties through
which the road passes, according to track
mileage. instead of to the city where the
principal Office is located, as heretofore.
Richmond loses about s14s,000 by this
change, and has instituted suit, alleging
that the law is unconstitutional.
But taxes are due in Virginia Decem-
Der 1. and to escape the penalty the
Southern treasurer few days ago ten
dered to Treasurer Ball the taxes due
Alexandra county, with the exception of
$40 due on rolling stock. Ball refused
to accept part of the taxes, and said
he would as promptly as practicable after
December l proceed to levy on the South
ern property and collect the taxes and
penalty. He intimated that his pro-
cedure would be to have Sheriff Barbor
of the county seize a passenger train of
the Southern at Alexandra and hold it
until the money was paid.
The Southern officials, in response
quietly applied to the equity court in
Richmond and secured the order enjoih-
ing Mr.. Ball. He will now await the
decision of the Richmond suit on the
validity of the law.

Europe's present misfortune is the pre-

In conclusion, Mr.. Riggs spoke of the
advantages to the French of their
wonderful river and canal systems. So
attracting are the waterway systems
of France. he said, that they would
almost meet all the needs of the coun-
try were there no roads or railways.
He mentioned that one may travel by

ARTHUR STANLEY RIGGS
LECTURES ON FRANCE
Says It Will Be Impossible to Re-
store War-Devastated
Cathedrals.

Arthur Stanley Riggs delivered a lee
ture on France" yesterday afternoon
and again last night before the mem
bers of the National Geographic So
ciety at New Masonic Temple audi
torium, in which he declared that it
will be utterly impossible to restore
the ar-devastated cathedrals of
Europe.
Mr.. Riggs, who is a traveller and lee
turer, and a fellow of the Royal Geo
graphic Society, illustrated his talk
with colored views of the cathedrals
taken before the war and since. as we'll
as with pictures Of the principal cities
of Brittany, Normandy, Anjou and other
sections of France.
Restoration Talk Called Foolish.
There is much foolish talk to the eff
feet that after the war work of restora-
ton and reconstruction in Europe will
make the devastated cathedrals even
more beautiful than they were origi-
nally." Mr. Riggs said.
1T is absurd. No modern hand can
bring back the glory Of the thirteenth
century workmanship of the Cathedral
of Rheims. No one today can produce
the same significant work as was done
by the geniuses of the middle age.
Art is more than skill, it demands in
