SPECIAL oU DHfed Press Wre.
Washington, May 3.-The state
department today instructed Ambas-
sador Gerard at Berlin to advise the
German foreign Office of a German
aviator's attack on the American
steamship Cushing off the Dutch
coast. Minister Van Dyke at The
Hague was called upon to get all pos
sible details from the consul at Rot
terdam.
President Wilson arrived here
from Williamstown today. He went
at once to the White House. He was
told at New Haven of the torpedoing 6
off the Scilly islands of the American
tanker, Gulflight, supposedly by a
German submarine, but would not
comment on the incident.
The United States government has
just completed It's investigation of the
Thresher case, but in view of the direct
attack on an American vessel now re-
ported, it IS probable that both incl
dents will be dealt with ia whatever
diplomatic action is taken.
In the note sent by the United States
to Germany In answer TO Germany's
proclamation OF a war zone around the
British isles and ireland the Washing
ton government stated that 1t would
hold the German government to strict
accounta bility "for the loss of any
American lives or vessels" the phrase

Americans were travelling.

OF the Governors bill. He said tina,
the main source of inequality In the
tax system lies in the failure or in
ability properly to assess real estate
and intangible property. Under the
segregation plan. he argued. the as
sessnents will be properly made and
the taxes collected.
cit makes very little difference" he
said, whether the taxes arc admin
istcrcd by the State Auditor, by n ma II
appointed by the Governor or elected
by the people. What we must have Is
segregation, because under the prin-
ciplcs of segregation the tax inequality
problem solves Itself Our real estate
assessors are not paid enough to buy
their horse feed. II Is difficult to get
good men to undertake tho Job, and in
some counties. l am told, where the
Republicans are In control, but where
Democratic assessors are appointed by
the circuit Judges. the assessors don't
get anything.
Now. we can choose between two
propositions-ad by segrega-
ton or do-nothinE plan. We have
had two tax commissions. We have
had an extra session OF the Legisla-
turc called. The people arc paying
500, 600 for tax revision. If the sys-
TEN is not revised. II will be n CON
fession Of inability on the part OF this
Legislature to make proper laws. If
that Is tho case. then ! say God save
the Commonwealth"
Replying TO n question from Mr.
Chalklcy, Mr.. Weaver said that. while
the segregation plan would not cause

would bc a wholesome misfortune. sin &c

THE HOUSE

Featuring the afternoon session Of
the House were speeches by Delegate
McetZe, Of Prince william, and Dele
gate O. L. Stearncs. OF Roanoke County.
Mr.. Mcetze made earnest plea for
the commission plan or taxation. Incl
dentally. he paid a graceful tribute to
Governor stuart. expressing his high
regard for the executives personal
character and fidelity To the duties Of
his Office.
II want TO say that / am with the
Governor in most things. ! have been
always with him, and ] expect to be
with him in the future, but his ideas
on this tax proposition are wrong. In
my opinion. Last February he was for
a tax commission. To-day he Is for the
segregation proposition" Mr.. MeetZe
said that personally he favored the
one-man tax commission, and II he had
the selection he would give the posi-
ton to state Auditor G. Lee Moore. The
experience of thirty-hve States, he said
had convinced him that the commits
sion form of taxation is the best.
Flashes OF Wit and humorous re-
marks illumincd the speech OF the
member from Prince William, who lis
an interesting speaker on all occa-
sions, never failing to win the interest
of his audience He was arguing ear
nestly for the commission plan when he
observed in the row in front OF him

The roar of laughter that followed

nllusion to my friend the gentleman
from Warren tMr. Wcaver), who, when
ever he is asked TO listen to real
argument. betakes himself to the Post
