THE HOUSE

The proceedings of the House OF
Delegates yesterday merning were
opened with the introduction of a
number of joint resolutions allowin e
the introduction of another flood OF
local bills. Mr.. Hobson, of Richmond,
presented 4 joint resolution favoring
the Eleventh Street site for the Rich
mond postoffice and requesting the
Virginia delegation in Congress to use
General and the Secretary of the
Treasury to that end. The resolution
was referred to the Committee on
Federal Relations,
After half an hour spent in the con
sideration of these resolutions deal
ing with matters foreign to taxation,
the House took up House Bill No. /.
repeating the "land grabhers' act, .
and after defeating the vast majority
of the amendments offered, refused to
order the bin to it's ENDORSEMENTS.
This means that it is wiped off the
calendar and another recommends
ton OF the joint committee on tax
revision goes to Its doom.
For Veterans Entertainment.
A Joint resolution, offered by Ma
jor Stubbs, of Gloucester, appropri-
ating $4,000 for the entertainment
of the Confederate veterans at their
annual reunion in Richmond next
spring, was referred to the Commit
tee on Appropriations.
A Senate resolution approprfatfng
s55. 600 for a convict road force was
referred to the Committee on APP
preparations.
A joint resolution. offered by Mr..
Hobson, of Richmond asking permits
sion to introduce bill correcting an
error in the 1914 appropriation bill
fixing the salaries of three State en-
gineers, was adopted.
The general license bill was reached
on the calendar just before adjourn
ment hour. Major Stubs. who had
been directed to correct defects in
the title. discovered just as the bill
WAS to be sent to It's engrossment
last week, Introduced his amendments
correcting the deficiencies and they
were adopted. Just as the bill. q sec
ond time, was to he ordered to Its
engrossment. Mr.. Easley, OF Lynch
burg, moved that the vote whereby
the ChaliSley amendment to his
amendment was adopted last week
be recons.dered. Mr. Meyers. OF
Richmond supported the motion, but
ii was withdrawn at the suggestion
of Speaker Cox, who took the floor
to suggest that the bill be recon
mitted. to the Finance Committee
This was done.

gave Dvorak's Humoresque as final

LEGAL FIGHT OVER
TAAW BEGINS IN
new YORK COURT
Justice Declines to Render De-
cision Off Hand as to De-
mand That Sanity Test Be
Made First

New York. Jan. 25.--They took
Harry Thaw across the bridge of
signs this morning and arraigned him
peIore Justice Davis. in the criminal
branch OF the Supreme Court.
Ihaw was quite serene. He talked
TO his lawyer3, he smiled at the Judge
and to William NJ. Penney. clerk OF
the court. ne said: why hello Bill;
how are your"
John b. Stanchfield. Thaw's chief
counsel demanded that sanity test
be made before the trial for conspi-
racy. He based this demand on an
act passed by the Legislature in 1910.
which says that any person accused
Of an offense calling for "A punish
ment of Imprisonment for one year,
or a fine of $500. into whose case
the question OF sanity enters, the
question OF his sanity shall be de-
termined before the trial.
The court wanted to know how the
present case fell under the applica
ton OF this act and Mr.. Stanchfleld
offered his explanation.
jerome Makes Reply.
Why. Your Honor" said Mr. Je-
rome, in replying to Mr.. Stanchfeld.
this man has been thrice adjudged
insane. The section read by Mr..
Stanchticld has nothing to do with
the case. The only way the ques-
ton OF sanity can be brought up
again is by sfabeas corpus proceed
ings. The view we take Is that Thaw
legally stands before this county an
insane man. He should be sent to a
proper place for insane persons and
kept there until brought into court
for trial on this indictment
1T he is then acquitted he should
be sent to Matteawan as his commit
tai there still remains In force. II
he is convicted 1t is UP 10 the court
To suspend sentence and return him
TO the asylum from whence he fed"
To this Mr.. Stanchfieid answered
that Jerome was trying to railroad
Thaw back to the horrors OF an in
sane asylum. After the lawyers had
discussed this matter for some length
Justice Davis finished the matter by
remarking;
Il shall no. attempt to decide the
question offhand, so ! shall let coun-
sci know within a few DAYS the date
upon which shall render a decision.
and when a plea may be entered"

Battered Boats Limp Home.
The German admiralty locates the
conclusion OF the battle as seventy
miles west-northwest OF Heligoiano
1t is IN this area that the Germans
have their advanced mine fields pro-
tecting the Heligoland base. These
projections forced Admiral Beatty to
discontinue the pursuit at a time
when two of the German battle cruis-
srs were badly damaged. In this con-
nection, the report from the Tristan
Islands that our-funnelcd German
cruiser was seen making her way
slowly eastward, apparently crippled.

mittee. This motion prevailed and yes
terday afternoon a subcommittee. con-
sisting OF Delegates Gregory, Oliver
and Pitts, was named 70 consider Mr..
Easley's amendment. AT meeting
held last night in the rooms of Mr..
oliver, the subcommittee voted to re-
port to the full committee In favor
of the adoption of the amendment.
This amendment is that proposed by
Mr. Easley when the bill was before
the House last week, and which was
lost when the Chalkley substitute was
adopted The Chalkley substitute was
vided for a license tax of two dollars
on the hundred on all purchases in ex-
i cess of S2,000--a decrease of one dol
lar for purchases between two and
fifty thousand dollars, and an increase
of one dollar for purchases In excess
of fifty thousand dollars The Easley
amendment left the rate on purchases
between two and one hundred thous-
sand dollars the same in the Chalk
/ ley amendment, and. cut the Chalk
| ley rate for purchases above the lat
| ter figure to one dollar, the rate under
! the present law.
Effect of the Amendment
/
be adopted by the House IL that
the merchants license bill. as amend
ed. places a fiat license Of five dol
lars on all merchants wsose purchases
are under $1,000: ten dollars on
those whose purchases are between
$1,000 and $4,000; two dollars on the
hundred on all purchases between
! $4,000 and 100000. and one dollar
on the hundred on all purchases in
excess of 100000
The House is expected today to
open debate on the question of the
| system Of taxarion--central commits
sion or segregation. Twice the expec-
tation has been that that debate would
ensue within the following twenty
four hours, and twice has that expec-
tation been disappointed. Delay was
caused by a more extended debate on
the merchants license bill and the
delinquent tax bin than had been
foreseen, and by the loss of some time
in considering local bills or in adopt
Ing resolutions permitting the intro
duction of such bills.
AS today Is the last day on which
| under a resolution adopted last FRI
day, any bills save those pertaining
to taxation, can be introduced, a flood
of resolutions asking permission for
the introduction Of local bills is ex-
pected. Moreover, the general license
bill, If again reported out Of commit
tee, may consume considerable time
In these events the tax commission
bin may not be reached on the calen-
dar today. and discussion Of funda.
mental questions will again be post
poned. Segregation leaders, however
are hopeful that the bill will b.
reached.
This is the measure prepared b,
the Joint committee on tax revision
: and recommended by a majority o
: its members. 1t provides for a cen
tralized tax commission with author
, ity to equalize assessments through
out the State. Its defeat in tn,
House Is a certainty.
