Richmond. Nov. ll-"Richmon1
bankers have no desire to. in any way
antaeonize the State" said Attorney
George Bryan, counsel for the Rich-
mond Clearin g House Association, last
night. speaking OF the meeting oi
members c. the association held yes
;ertlav afternoon for discussion OF
the opinion handed Tuesday night by
Attorney General Pollard to the stat"
advisory tax board.
Mr. Pollard held in his opinion
that the state and national banks III
the State are required to disclose TO
State tax officials lists of their de-
positors and deposits carried under
time" and interest deposit head
ings. In some quarters it was regard
ed as likely that the banks would re-
s;st such construction of the law anG
the outcome Of the local Clearing
House meeting was awaited with in
terest.
At the conclusion Of the meeting
Yesterday it was said that the op!n-
ior has been discussed, but that no
action had been taken. a meeting to
5e held within few days will again
take up the matter, it is said. and il,
IS probable that statement OF the
position of the banks affiliated WITH
the Clearing House Association will
Je made :.t that tine 'Tilat tie asso-
ciation will not put itself in the posi-
ion of opposing the law as construed
by the attorney general is under
stood. Il is expected that banks of
the city will place themselves in a
sympathetic attitude and will CO.
operate with the State.
In some quarters the opinion Of
the attorney general giving the State
I The right to learn what sums deposi-
, tors have in the banks was the sub
ject of criticism yesterday Local
banks, however. agreed they would
not discuss for publication, the at
torney generals opinion.
Some of the argument in adversely
criticising the opinion is that the
opening of the banks books cf de-
posits to the State will tend to drive
some of the savings from the banks
and that the money will go into old
socks and other secret places.
On the other hand it is declared
! by business men that such course will
not be followed They point out the
value of the one feature of safety
alone which has brought savings into
the vaults of the banks. They also
point to the fact that the interest
paid by banks on time and savings
accounts is far in excess of the small
! tax levied on money-20 cents on
500. 1t is further argued that the
rate was reduced in 1914 from SIT
to 20 cents per 500, the contention
was advanced. by bankers that the
State revenue would be increased b,
the lower rate on money, because thu
new rate could not be regarded a.
excessive.
Recently declaration was made tha
the State had rot the authority t,
call upon national banks to disclos,
their deposits. The declaration wa
not based on fact, as the United
States Supreme Court has ruled tha
the State does have authority owe
national banks. within its borders, a
well as over State banks.

NOT A WAGE EARNER
Virginia. Carolina Chemical Wins
Important Case From DanSille
Court

J Richmond, NOV. ''
| Carolina Chemical Company yester-
day won case in the, United States
Circuit Court OF Appeals involving
the question whether J, c. Shelhorse,
of Chatham, Va. claiming to be a
wage-earner, could be- thrown into
involuntary bankruptcy proceedings
Opinion of the appellate court,
which was written by Judge Knapp,
,ver rules the district court at Dan
lille. over which Judge Mcdowell
oresides, and sustains the report OF
the special master who was reversed
by the district iurist.
The lower courts held that Shell
horse could not be put in lnvolun-
tary bankruptcy because he was a
wage-earncr. who under the law, is
exempt from such proceedings.
In the opinion of the higher court,
it. appeared to be an indisputable
fact that Shelhorse was in the non
exempt class up to May /, 1914, and
hat it was prior to that date that
he acquired property and incurred
lebts involved in the proceedings at
.ssue. Included in this property were
considerable real estate in Chatham
and the Eagle Roller Mills, several
niles from that place.
In July, 1914, Shelhorse having
)een involved in his business affairs,
confessed judgment to practically all
lis creditors except the Virginia
Carolina Chemical Company. which
was then suing him for the alleged
conversation of large sum of money
belonging to that concern.
In reversing the lower court, the
appellate court said: "This confession
vas undoubtedly an act of bankrupt
". if Shelhorse was then subject to
adjudication, that is, If he was not
exempt because he was wage earn
er.
In setting up the claim that he was
wage-earner when he confessed
Judgment. Shelhorn contendcd that
ne went to work on salary for the
Exchange Warehouse. or May !, 1911.
although a contract ne .Igned with
he warehouse stipulated that he
should start to work on August Ist
following. In explanation Of this he
said that verbal agreement was re-
Sponsible for the entering upon the
work at an earlier date.
Discussing this phase of the case
he appellate court said:
at is quite probable and may be
conceded, that his chief means of liv-
ng after the 1st of May was the sal
lry paid him by the Exchange Ware
house, but in our judgment this is
not enough to show that when he
confessed judgment to some Of his
:reditors and paid others in full about
The middle of July. he had effected
definite and settled change of occu-
patton. To all outward appearance
lis activities at that time were much
:he same as they had been before.
and these activities do not indicate
hat he had abandoned previous pur-
suits and made himself member OF
,hc wage earning class.
"a farmer is exempt from invo!un-
:ary proceedings whatever his other
interests, if farming is his chief oc-
:upation. a wage Garner is exempt
only when he actually pursues the
calling which the term describes. The
| farmer works for homself, the wage
Garner is an employe, and this i'm.
plies service for another which is
substantially exclusive.

peared TO carry them to their places of
work
After the early morning hour regular

Doctrinal Discussion Resumed.
Tn the doctriual discussions this
morning Rev Flack read his elabora-
ton OF the second thesis Of his paper
ga the subject OF Justification This
thesis reads. The term Justification
is a biblical term, and denotes the for
gireness of sins or the best0wing Of
righteousness before God upon the
sinner. The essayist first defined the
German term which is used for Jus
Jifcatlon and showed that 1t is q for
ensic term. that il denotes a judgment
pronounced upon man. not a process
which is from within, or in the heart
of man God jusrihes the sinner when
He declares him to be righteous. or
free from sin Much confusion has
been caused in the church because the
trne etymology of the Greek and He
brew terms used in the bible has been
ignored
justification and forgiveness of sins
are synonymous terms in the bible
What is f0rgiveness2 The bible uses
various expressions which ali come to
the same thing. namely mans sin is
covered. his sin is not imputed to him.
his tniquities are cast into the depths
Of the sea. etc However. unlike the
criminal the sinner is not merely par
doned by his God but is also declared
free from the guilt of sin. Luther did
not understand the term Justification
until he had grasped the truth that it
is the same as the forgiveness of sin.
After the close Of the doctrinal dis
cusston this morning Rev. C. Gross,
superintendent Of the Lutheran hospi-
tai al Springfield. was given few
minutes 10 address the synod on the
work Of the institution He reported
the hospital in fourishing condition
and told OF funds that had been ex-
pended I'm the extension of the hospi-
tai and the building Of a nurses home.
Reports were also heard from the
nominating committee which wss ap-
pointed 70 name the officers and the
committees to conduct the business Of

port viii be acted on at the regular
