fled that the trip Of reconciliation al
| ter months of quareling and seapta-
tion had grown into a continuous sue

MADE INROADS ON FUNDS.
Auditor Will Pay Commissioners and
Examiners for Work Done This
Year.

Richmond, Nov. l3.--Local boards
of review have consumed considerable
Of the $4,000 appropriated by the
General Assembly for the payment OF
the. fees of commissioners of the re-
venue and examiners of records.
Under the laws Of the State these
meil--and there are 357 OF them IN
the State-can receive 81 day for
each day or part Of day they are III
session. They are limited to thirty
days in any one year. Some of them
have held sessions, which have not
fallen far short of the limit.
In this way, were all the local
boards so serve the allotted time, they
would consume some S21,,420 of the
money which the Legislature. 1914
appropriated for other purposes.
The State set aside $4,000 for the
expenses of assessing the property
Of the State by the commissioners. of
the revenue and the work of the ex-
aminers of records. The auditor has
paid the expense of the local boards
of review from this fund. as directed
by law.
There is not now enough money on
hand with which to pay the claims
of the commissioners and the exam
iners of record, Under the decision
of the Attorney General the State
must pay them for the work the!
have actually done.
The Auditor will have to meet the
payments, and it Is understood that
he will do so, and the sum will have
to come from any unappropriated
funds in the State treasury.

Naples, Nov. l3.-Ihe owners Oh
the Italian liner Ancona, sunk IN the
Mediterranean by submarine, have
received the report of the Ancona's
cantain. in which he makes the posi-
tive charge that the submarine gave
no warning to the liner. or afforded
those on board any chance to escape
The first shot, the captains repors
declares was fred when the submarine
was three miles distant. The captain,
Immediately stopped the ship. ne says
but this did not appear to satisfy tho
commander of the submarine, which
continued to shell the liner.
The captain without delay, order
ed everybody to take to the boats
upon which, he declares, the subma-
rine turned all her guns, killing anc
wounding many persons, both IN the
boats and on the deck Of the steamer

Rome. Nov. 13.-- United States.
Ambassador Page, called at the For

tnlk with Baron Sonnino. The ma
ture Of the conference is unknown
hut il is assumed the sin%ing OF the
Ancona was discussed informally.
The italian Government has orderec
q rigid investigation of the disaster
The inquiry is proceeding under the
direction Of the Italian Consul ut u
mis-. assisted by Italian naval officers
A special effort is made to deter
mine all the facts relating to lnterna-
tional responsibility, whether warn

tunitv was afforded the passengers
to escape. 1t is expected here this IN
vestigation will have bearing on an!

Berlin, Nov. 13.-The Ancona case
as vet belongs tothe category OF sub
marine Incidents regarding which
German naval circles have no news
except that which comes from hostile
sources. Even the scmi-otlicIal an
nouncement. that the Ancona was
sunk while trying to escape, was de-
rived from accounts sent out by the
Havas and Stefani news agencies.
Nothing has been published here
from the Austrian side, and it was
stated at the Admiralty that. so Ear
as known. the Austrian Government
has received no report of the 3ncl-
dent.
Discussing the case. the Berlin
newspapers point out that. accord
ing to the already published reliable
information. the vessel. after rcceiv-
inc warning rfom the submarine
tried to escape, and that the sub
marine. therefore. was fully justified
in using force.
The newspapers further assert that
all the news from foreign sources ag-
rec that the> submarine FLEW the
Austro-Hungarian flag. They affirm
! that it was not German boat. since
! no warskip would fly other than its
right flag at the moment of action.
