Of the unexpected entered yesterday

gates. electrfying the hitherto pros
aic consideration Of proposed tax
measures.
A series Of enlivening incidents
mared the discussion Of the report of
the Tax Commission. They, appear.
ed in this order:
/. The Finance Committee was in.
vited by Delegate r. T. Gregory to
show its hand and let the public
know the sentiment Of the members
the identity of those favorable to
the commission plan of taxation and
those who prefer the segregation sy
stem. Mr.. Gregory explained that
his object was merely to facilitate
business by determining definitely
upon what lines the discussion was
further to progress.

eurporting to show the effect OF the
proposed segregation plan upon To-
cal revenues which statement was
prepared by a professional statisti-
clan. A. f. James, Of Wisconsin, was
shown to the satisfaction of many OF
the members of the committc to be
inaccurate, and consequently unrclia-
BILE.
The statistical table was repubi-
ated by Captain S. R. Donohoe.
former State Auditor and member OF
the Tax Commission, who referred
to the expert as "a supposed statls-
tician.

the committee, advocating a scheme
of partial segregation; the arrival OF
Mr.. Donohoe and DR.. Thomas
Walker Page, who came to Richmond
by special invitation of the FINANCE

GERMANS KILL
CATHOLIC PRIESTS
Members of the Clergy Ex-
posed to Special In
dignities
INSTANCES ARE GIVEN
Churches and Religious Houses Des.
troyed or Profaned in Almost
Every Town and Village

London, Jan 9-At the request Of
the Belgian legation in London the
British press bureau has issued de-
tailed allegations of the maltreat-
ment Of Catholic clergy in Belgium
and the destruction Of their institu-
tions by German troops.
The statement says churches and
religious houses were destroyed or
profaned in almost every village and
in many towns where the German
troops passed. In most cases the ed
ifces were utilized as stables and
prisons, and, when not placed in safe
hiding, the sacred vessels were stolen
The statement declares members
of the clergy have been exposed to
special indignities at the hands of
German soldiers. In the Diocese OF
Liege, Namur, Maines and Client
many priests and others connected
with the churches were either shot
or hanged. Many other priests were
carried off to Germany, where they
appear to have been "subjected to
abominable usage"
An American and Spanish priest
among group of seventy civilians,
were dragged about from place to
place all day and molested, insulted
and threatened with military execu-
ton. They were taken to the church
at Campenhout and shut up for the
night.
The priest Of Deuchen, an invalid
eighty seven years old, suffering
from disease, was accused by the
Germans of having fired on them.
He was arrested, hoisted on cannon
tossed into a ditch, tortured and
shot.
Witness deposes that he saw the
Priest Gelrode brought into Aers
chot August "a with three wounded
men. The Germans said he was ar
English spy and took him to the tow
hall. The; following day they, beat
him with rifle butts, and then on thu
Demer Bridge they SHOT; him and
cast his body into the river.
The statement concludes witt
these words.
"Nothing can demonstrate more
clearly the tendencies of the Ger
mans in dealing with members OF the
clerical body than the words of pro
clamation posted by the German au
thorities at Grivegnee September =
which says, When hostages are ia
ken, the priests, burgomasters ant
members of the communal admins
tration are to be put at the head o;
the list.
