Chalkley. one OF the patrons OF the
Oil and the author, took the floor
TO explain his measure. Mr.. Chalk
ley spoke for about an hour, covering
the whole ground. His plan In brief
is to secure the payment OF taxes
on delinquent lands by proceedings
in chancery, much on the order OF
tho method In force In SRichmond.
He pointed out that under the pres-
ent. or so-cailed land grabbcrs' act"
the state Is unable to collect its taxes
and that hundreds and thousands of
titles In the State arc clouded by
the inability of commissioners of re-
venue. to enfore the States lien on
real estate,
Opposition to the measure was
on the ground that IL is too cUmber-
some and too costly, and most of the
amendments introduced were for the
purpose of remedying this alleged
defect. MIR, Whites amendment pro-
vided that it's provisions shall not
apply Ia lots put up under tho act
OF 1905 and no purchaser found, Civ
ing stS his reasons that there are a
large number OF boom lots I'm the
state that are worthless and 10 pro-
coed against them by commissioners
in chancery would entail a great cost
TO County and State without secur-
lHk any commensurate return IN tile
way OF delinquent taxes.
The Norris Amendment,
MIR. Norris, Of Lancaster, found the
same fault with the bill and intro
dueed resolution that the act should
not be operative where the delinquent
taxes to he collected amounted to
fifty dollars or less The cost of pro-
-Ceedings in Chancery against lands
on which taxes amounted to no more
than that sum. he pointed out, would
eat mp all the State or locality could
possible collect. The majority of DE-
iinquont taxes in Tidewater Virginia,

number more than half have sub
sCrihed to Robertson's plan.
Mr.. Robertson's success in enllsting
the support of the majority of the
SUCCESSFUL Mexicans has been due not
only to his own reputation in Mon
terey, but because he Is known TO be
held in high esteem by Secretary of
State Bryan. and TO have furnished
Mr. Bryan with Information on Mexi-
can affairs from time to time.
Inquiry made at the State Depart
ment in Washington today as TO
Secretary Bryan's acquaintance with
Robertson brought the reply that the
secretary has considerable regard for
him, but that neither MIR. Bryan nor
any other officials Of the State De-
partment knew OF any schemes
Robertson might be promoting in
Mexico.
Was a Cattle Buyer.
Mr. Robertson went to Monterey
from Colorado In his youth as a cat
tie buyer, and has accumulated con-
siderable property there.
Robertson's purpose in organizing
the present movement is due to his
belief that since only $4,000 out OF
Il population of 100000 in Mexico
are now under arms, and since none
of the men at the head of any OF the
Mexican factions can attract strength
enough to win. the time is ripe for the
inauguration OF u project backed by
men powerful enough to win.
While Robertson was In New YORK
on hts recent trip here he conferred
with Colonel Felix Diaz, and also with
number OF wealthy Mexicans and
former military leaders. Among them
was General Gonzales, former pro-
visional governor of CHIHUAHUA, who
came here for that purpose.

I'VE have 5000 soldiers In one OF

real reason for the weakening OF

GERMANIC ALLIES WANT
RUMANIA TO EXPLAIN

London, Jan. 2S--A report from
Petrograd that Germany has demand
ed from Rumania an explanation as
TO why perfects Of Rumanian pro-
vinces were informed by their gov
eminent that Rumania may soon en-
ter the war against Austro- Hungary,
the news from Rome that Count
Stuergkh, the Austrian premier, has
resigned after a clash with Baron Won
Burian, the new premier of the dual
monarchy. and a report current in
financial circles of this city that
Rumania Is seeking to place a war
loan OF $2s,o00.000 here or in New
York, are the most interesting Of the
days items of political news.
There is little doubt in the minds
Of persons whose information has
more substantial bases than news
paper report. that German and
Austrian statesmen are aware of i'm
pending intervention by Rumania, and
are at odds as to whether soft words
or threats will be most effective in
influencing the prndpal Balkan
State.
The keynote OF the situation as
affecting Roumania Is Russia's ad-
vance to the border of Transyrvania,
a province ardentiy desired by the
hounAHIAHS ahA very pEopapAy S0~
cretIy promised to them by Russia as
a reward for intervention.
Now thar Russian troops occupy
the passes of the Eastern Carpathians
and are actually within a few miles
Of Dorna Watra literally on the Dor
der, Roumania finds herself In posi-
tom where she must act for the al
lies. or take the chance OF being for
ever disappointed in her Transylva MIA
ambitions He troops are practically
modified and the people are eager
for war. A sudden movement by the
Roumanian army would gain Tran
sylvania and deal a terrible blow to
the Germanic allies.
