TUBERCULOSIS DEATH
RATE ALARMINGLY LARGE
Stnte Far behind I'm Efforts to ChecL

Agnes Randolph,

the death rate from tuberculosis in
virginia Is alarmingly large, and very
I little effort is being made to reduce IL.

rotary OF the State Anti-Tubcrculosis
| Association.
In very interesting speech given
before the College Woman's Club yes
terday afternoon, Miss Randolph
summed up the work of tho Anti-Tubcr-
culoSis Association in this state. Duo TO
an almost complete lack OF organiZa-
ton. she said, the results obtained in
Virginia fall far below those obtained
in most States. and the death rate here
from the white plague Is higher than
that in the United States as n whole.
Ihcre were In this State last year $4,000
cases, 5000 of which were fatal. In
many of the rural districts the inhabi-
tantS do not know the word tubercu-
iosis, though many of them are dying
of the disease. Hence they are in com

The association is supported almost
entirely by the money made from tho
sale of Christmas seals, OF which there
were sold In Virginia last Christmas
only $4,000. against 100000 sold in
North Carolina.
In addition to this scanty allowance,
and with the help of the negro associa-
tons, $4,000 has recently been raised

DEATH LEV|ES TAX
OF FIFTEEN PER CENT
ON YOUTHS FORTUNE
BY Queer Combination Of Cir
cumstances Boys Fortune
is Decimated.

Brighton. Texas, April 19--How the
$4,000 fortune of young Charles Has
well. Of this place. heir Of Col. G. w.
Haswell, has been dccimated Is per
cent in less than Ave years simply by
the death OF personal executors has
just come to light The first trustees
named by Colonel Haswell to handle
young Haswelrs estate died shortly
after tho testator; the substitute trus-
tee died three years later, and it be-
came necessary TO name q third trus-
tee. Each trustee, on qualifying. re-
ceived a fee of per cent of the estate,
as is the law in Virginia
The peculiar conditions of which
young Haswell has been the victim led
the circuit court recently to nnme n
trust company as trustee, in the hope
that this selfperpetuating trustee
would bring 10 an end the slow emas-
culation OF the estate. which has al
ready been taxed by the death o! trus-
tees to the extent OF $500
Colonel Haswcll who died In 1903,
was very wealthy man, leaving an
estate of 100000. He came TO Texas
from Virginia after tho war. and was
brilliantly successful in his invest
ments. His will named many heirs.
among whom was young Charles Has,
well. nephew. In his Will Colonel
Haswell named Judge John NJ Robert
son rs executor OF his estate and trus-
tee for Charles. On qualifying. Judge
Robertson received per cent Of the
estate.
In June. 1910, Judge Robertson died
and the court named J. NJ. Haswen
son OF Colonel Haswell, trustee of
Charles Haswelrs estate. ]. NJ. Has
well qualified and received per cent
or the estate. making 10 per cent, or
$1,000, which had been levied on the
estate. In 1913 J. VI. Haswell died and
IL became necessary for the circuit
court to name second substitute
trustee. In order to prevent further
defamation of the estate by deaths Of
personal trustees. the court appointed
as trustee trust company. The trust
company, Of course, received its per
cent of the estate on qualifying. II
turns out. however. that IL Colonel
Haswell had named as trustee a trust
company In his will. only per cent
OF Charles Haswelrs estate would have
been claimed In taxation.

became apparent that Superintendent
Jenkins would he unable to accept re-
lnstntemcnt. after few months had
elapsed. and some antagonism TO the
retention of Colonel huffman was mani
tested in the school board.
The disagreement in the board started
n factional fight, which extended to tho
body Of patrons of the Newport News
