SLATE FOR TAX COMMISSION.
Ellyson and Cox to Name Senate
And House Members This Week.

Richmond, Va, March 16.-Lieut-
Governor Ellyson, as president of the
senate, and Speaker Cox, of the
House of Delegates, will announce the
appointment of members Of the tax
commission within the next two or
three days. Under the act passed by
the General Assembly, a contYiission
composed of three senator's, four dele
gates and three citizens to be named
by the Governor, will undertake the
great work of preparing tax revision
laws to be considered at special
session in January.
Men who are familiar with legis
lstive matters figured it out yester-
day that Mr.. Ellyson would appoint
Senators Echols, Harman and Flet-
cher--or Buchanan-and that Speak
er Cox would designate Delegate
Aubrey G.. Weaver, chairman Of the
House Finance Commitetee; Delegate
r. /. Brewer, chairman of the House
Committee on Corporations, and
Delegates Pitt, of Albemarle, and
Hobson, of Richmond.
Many other states were made and
broken, although in the end most Of
the talk centered around the members
Just mentioned. It is expected that
Mr.. ENyson and Speaker Cox viii
confer before making their announce
merits for it is admitted that much
depends upon the proper selection Of
men who must spend months of hErt
work in the effort to frame bills TO
the special session.
{ Governor Stuart, Of course, Will not
appoint three members of the COM
mission in advance of the tive
branches.
There are many candidates. Son
of them are already at work, others
are being urged, although it is r
believed that this outside pressure
will amount to anything unless the
suggestions relate to the highest
type of MEN III Virginia.

SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED.
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union Organized.

Appomattox. Va, March 1G.-The
school board Of Clover Hill and
Stonewail School Districts closed
the ruraF schools last week, after
having run only five months. The
schools heretofore have been running
for six months, but this year the au-
thorities were forced to shorten the
term one month owing to shortage
Of funds. The taxpayers are COM
plaining Of the. shoG: term, claiming
that inasmuch as taxes. have been thr
same. the school term should be the
same. It is claimed by the boards
that because the Departnlnt of Edu-
cation dman:ed sanitary conditions
be arranged at each rural school and
the cost was so great, unless the
term wes shortened the various dis
,tricts woulJ be bankrupt.
For the first time in the history o,
the county the women OF the town
have organized a Woran's Christian
,Temperance Union. Mrs. Amy Wee
State organizer, of Alexandra
spoke at the auditorium OF the A2f
cultural School last night. Twenty
mine charter members joined Satur'
dav with Mrs. c. A. Allen, presi
dent. Mrs. G. A. Walton, secretly
and Mrs l.. E. Smith, treasurer

LOSS OF LIFE IN RUSSIA.
Disastrous Hurricane and Flood
Land of Gar.

I St. Petersburg, March 16.-Details
of the hurricane, which swept the
province Of Kuban, southern Russia
lSaturday, were received here last
might from Ehaterinodar. A north
erly gale caused numerous water
spouts off the east coast Of the Sea
-'of Azov and the shore from Yoisk
to the Strait of Kertsch, distance
of about 500 miles, flooded mad six
villages damaged.
One hundred and seventy-Six con-
struction employees on the Kuban
Railway were sleeping in shec'
when awakened by the storm and
fled to a train and endeavored to
escape. Soon, however, the engine
and cars were overturned by the
rushing waters and swept away.
! The hurricane ragged for ten hours
When it ceased the receding floods
revealed scenes of great destruction
Eight miles of the railway embank.
Sment were in ruin. The wrecked
train was covered with the bodies OF
dead workmer. Forty-eight Of the
FIG men finally got I. to shore or
f, floating wreckage, but it is feared
| all the others were drowned.
Many courageous rescues of per.
sons. floating wreckage on the sea
have been reported! Many bodies
have been washed ashore at various
points.
The meager dispatches received re.
port that 1,500 lives had been lost
as result of the storm, but 10 re-
liable details, giving what may be
termed an accurate estimate, have
iyet come to hand.
4 similar catastrophe occurred
balong the shores of the Sea of AzoN
f37 years ago.
Tiflis, Russia, March 16.-An un
iusual phenomenon occurred here arr
in adjacent towns today. The SIX!
was covered early in the mornin'
!with dark yellow clouds and fog
Later there was a heavy snowfall
mixed with dust, which covered tn
ground in thick layer Of past
mud. The phenomenon is attribute
to storms in the Baku district
where the wind raised such tremer
dous clouds of dust that railwa
traffic was stopped by accumulation
Of it heaped at various stations.

practically every bill Of general in
.terest shat was; not hopelessiy con-
tested, severa! measures went down
in the senatorial graveyard with the
regrets of a considerable minority.
Among the sfbills that died on
their second reading was the Adams
land registration measure, better
known as the :'Torrens System" bill.
It's progress was barred by the six
objection rule when it was up for
consideration Friday night. The
measure had strong support in the
Senate, but it's friends were at no
time able to muster the twenty
seven votes required to suspend the
rules.
A partia! list of the more contro-
versial bills that died on the SER
ate calendar includes:
The Mapp-Pennington antiship-
ping bill, which proposed to place
rigid restrictions about the shipping
of intoxicants into "dry" territory.
The Saunders antinuisance bill,
which proposed to abolish the segre-
gated district evil through iniunc-
ton proceedings against owners Of
property devoted 70 immoral uses.
The bill which proposed to regu-
late the commission business by re-
quiring commission merchants to be
licensed and bonded in order that
farmers and shippers OF produce for
sale on commission might be better

to gain the initial advantage were
reported to have assumed the often
sive only to have their skirmish line
ambushed and driven back with loss.
That the fight will be decisive was
believed certain here because Of the
report that Villa Impressed special
train to carry Carranza, and the

Chihuahua, to join him and the fur
ther statement that both would
proceed to the front at once.
