GEIGER- jos CO. =
ASK INJUNCTION

Anticipating the action of Attorney
General Edward c. Turner, who was
about to make public an official opin-
ion to Superintendent of Banks Harry
T. Hall, the Geiger-Jones Co. Of Can
ton Wednesday night filed in the U.
S. district court at Columbus prayer
for an injunction against both state
officials. The company also asks for
a temporary restraining order to pro-
hibit Turner and Hall from acting in
any way in the premises. In other
words the Geiger-Jones Co. don't want
the public to know anything concern
ing their stock or their method of do
ing business.
The application as to Turner asks
that he be enjoined from rendering to
Hall an official opinion OF recommend
alton that the license to sell stocks
and bonds held by the Geiger-J Jones
Co., under the "blue sky" law be re-
voked, and against Hall asks that
the superintendent be enjoined from
acting on the opinion.
The constitutionality of the blue
sky law is attacked as part of the pc
tition.
Wednesday night Turner answered
the petition in person, denying the
jurisdiction of the court as applied to
him. It was outrageous, he told the
court, that an action should be brought
in court to restrain him from doing
what is his duty under the law. The
court took under advisement until to-
\ day or tomorrow the part of the petit
ton relating to Turner and also the
other two questions presented, the pro-
posed action by Hall and the constitu-
tional question. In the meantime the
mere filing of the petition acts as a
bar against any further action by eth
er official.
The vast extent Of the interests in
volved is seen in the statement in the
petition that there are 1000 persons
to whom securities have been sold,
that the securities sold in this state
have par value Of between $20,000,-
900 and $25,000,OO0, and that the cor
porations whose stock figured in these
transactions have issued an outstand-
ing capital stock of between $50,000,-
900 and $60,0O0,O00, large amount Of
which has been sold in Medina county

RIOTS IN ITALY
Outbreak Follows Resigna-
ton of Salandra Cabi-
net Last Night
MANY STREET FIGHTS
Mobs Attack Shops of Germans, and
Men and Boys Threaten to Burn
Teuton's College

Rome, May I4.-Extensive anti
German rioting broke out here and
in number of other Italian cities
today, following the report that Sal
andra cabinet had resigned because
of the opposition of the neutrality
party u intervention in the war.
Frenzied mobs, forming in different
sections of the city, concentrated in
The main street and began attacking
German shops.
Mounted troops and soldiers III au-
-omobiles were turried out to crush
the mobs.
Near Plaza Collona, in fierce bat
tie with the rioters, the troops fired
several volleys into the mobs and
many persons were wounded.
The rioting is continuing, with
the soldiers apparently unable 10 re-
strain the crowds.
A dispatch from Milan reports
that the interventionists and neutra-
lists exchanged shots in a pitched
street battle and that i number of
persons were killed or wounded.
Angry mobs Of interventionists
formed quickly last night when the
cabinets action was first rumored
There were street clashes with mem
bers of the neutrality party who
strenuosIy opposed Italy's entrance
into the wal. and VINO have fought,
The Salandra ministry.
Early today the mobs began vent
ing their wrath against the Germans.
A crowd Of men and boys assembled
near German College and threaten
ed to apply the torch. They were dis
persed after they had smashed every
window in the building. The moi
roughly handled several squads Of
troops.
The widest scenes occurred near
Plaza, Colonaz The mob attacked
nearly every German shop in the vi
Unity; the propriet6rs fleeing to the
residential district for protection.

WILLIAMS BLUNDER
Demands That Germay Withdraw Her
Expressions And Make an lmmed-
late Apology.

London. May 14.-German diplo-
macy sblundered into situation
which may provoke in South Amer
ica q crisis almost as acute as, though
different in kind from, that caused IN
the United States oy the sinking Of
the Lusitania. Diplomatic secrecy IS
being strictly maintained pending the
exchange of Communications, but II
is learned on excellent authority that
these latterly have taken such tone
that the severance Of diplomatic reia-
tions between the two countries con-
cerned is considered highly probable.
The incident began with Chile's ac-
ceptance of the British apology for
the violation OF her neutrality by tho
sinking of the Dresden III territorial
waters.
Berlin resented this acceptance anu
conveyed its dissa tisfaction to Sanrl-
ago in terms which the Chilean gov
ernment considered insulting and con-
stituting an unwarraatable interfer-
ence with the sovereign rights OF the
country.
Chile responded by what was pract-
ically an ultimatum, 10 the effect that
Germany must withdraw her express
sions and apologize for her f!agrant
breach of international amenities, or
Chile would take such action as best
appeared TO iit the circumstances
There is ground for believing that
Germany has received ali allowance OF
five days in which to decide upon the
course she will pursue.
The Dresden. Il German protected
cruiser, was sunk in hal'bor OF the
Juan Fernandez Islands belonging to
Chile on March II last 6y the British
cruisers Glasgow, Drama and Kent.
Germany prptestedsto Chile and Chile
protested to:-EngRnds that the ATTACK
had been made within Chilean waters,
and while the Dresden was under =
flag of truce.

Cabinet MEETS
THIS MORNING

President and Advisers
Went Carefully Over
The Situation
ANXIETY IS APPARENT
Executive Will Leave Washington
Tonight for New York on May
flower 10 Reyiew Atlantic Fleet.

Washington, May 14-The Presi
dent held a meeting this morning
with his Cabinet. At this meeting
it is understood, the President and his
advisers went carefully over all the
clements of the situation and weighed
the consequence which are likely to
result if Germany refuses to meet
the demands of this country.
The next move must come from
Germany. There is strong hope tnat
it will come promptly and Will meet
the wishes of the United States.
No statement was forthcoming
from the meeting and it was appa-
rent that the members had been eau
toned by the President to refrain
from any comment which might an
ticipate the attitude of Germany on
the action of this Government.
Tired out by his constant attention
to the preparation of the ncte Presa,
dent Wilson tonight will leave WASH
inpton on the Mayhower for New
York where he will review the At
]antic fleet. He will return to Wash
ington Wednesday night or Thurs
day morning.
Whether the United States IS 10
continue to maintain friendly rela-
tions with Germany hinges today on
the positiln of one man. He is EN-
reror William.
Official Washington realizes that
with the last word OF the Onieeo
States condemning methods OF sub
marine warfare in the hands OF the
German foreign office, the military
marty of ,Germany-and it is the
dominant party-will demand that ITS
reonests be contemptuously rejected:
Rnt Il will be the Kaiser WHO VIII
have the last word. And it is Known
that President Wilson. all OF the
nembers of his Cabinet, and his un-
Official, advisers, are hopeful, that the
;nauence of the Kaiser will in the
last analysis prevail. ,,,
Washington is anxiousitoday. mere
is a gravity in official quarters that
has been absent since the stirring
days just immediately following the
blowing up of the Maine and the days
when American: bluejackets and
nSsauines were battling in the streets
ofsVera Cruz. There is no attempt 10
disguise, the fact, that; the; country
stands on the brink of what eventual
ly may lead to war.

Paris, May l4:-Joan' Garrere, the

informed Italian quarters that Ger
many's intention was to, invade Italy
last August after the victories of
Charleroi and Mons. This would
certainly have been done if France
had not won the victory Of the
Marne.
"At that time German opinion was
aroused against Italy and even the
Kings encourage were called traitors
Threatening letters were sent to pro-
minent Italians to the effect that
Italy would be chastised by Germany
and Austria as. soon as France was
definitely crushed.
: "The Germans, who then thought
they would soon be masters of Paris
and the north of France, intended to
capture Milan and then cross the
Alps and attack France from the
south. After Joffre's victory at the
Marne, German diplomacy, which un-
til then had been characterized by
anger and menaces, assumed a coax.

SAYS TAX REFORM
INCREASES DEBT
Dr.. Page Paints Disquieting
Picture Of Government
tai Acts
SPEAKS AT A DINNER
Richmond Chapter, American Insti-
tute of gnking, is Host-250
Members and Guests Present

Richmond, May 14-Introduced by
Toastmaster Douglas S. Freeman as
tax authority whose ideas on this
subject will ultimately prevail over
Ignorance or prejudice" Dr.. Thorn
as Walker Page professor Of Vir-
ginia, in an address at the annual
dinner of the Richmond Chapter.
American Institute of Banking, last
night. painted disquieting picture
Of governmental administration as it
is practiced today in most of the
American States and cities.
DR.. Page was member of the re-
cent Tax Commission charged with
drafting a reform Of the State tax
laws He was member Of the mi
nority of that body which favored tine
! establishment Of a centralized State
tax commission with wide powers OF
control over local tax authorities-a
plan which the Legislature repudlat-
ed in adopting a scheme Of segrega-
tion.
It was a remarkable fact, Dr.. Page
pointed out, that tax reform IS
American Commonwealths have gone
hand in hand with increase in pub
tic expenditures and public debt. It
was obvious that the speaker did not
believe that Virginia, the latest apost-
le of tax reform, vii! prove an eX-
ception to the rule unless other IN
fuences than now exist are called into
play TO curb the tendency towards
governmental extravaganza.
DR.. Page deplored the fa!lacy
that deluded the public into believing
| that in shifting the burden Of taxa
ton, ,orscorhsrations it was itself es-
Gaping the expenses of government
Il: order TO live, corporations so tax
ed, he SAID: .:are compelled ultimately

:penditnres said. the speaker, is trace
liable to the ,.'demoralizing influence
. ( io:f.easy +; money Appropriations are
too: too: :easy to .q6rain,::sh he said because
there is an almost >total lack of rea-
lization that whatever is appropriat-
ed by the municipal, State or natlona'
governments must be taken directly
; from the pocket of the taxpayer.
Attempts. to curb governmental e%-
travagance by fixing maximum tax
rate, said Dr.. Page, were doomed TO
failures as long as variable asses
ment rate destroys the benefits that
might be expected to result from such
system. Likewise, he said, no re-
lief can be expected from political
changes. since one administration Is
no more economical than another.
The remedy, said the. speaker lles
