MUST PAY ON OR BEtokE MA }
Attorney General Rules That foli
Taxes Cannot be Deferred BE-
cause of Sunday.

Richmond, April l6.-AttorheS
General Pollard holds that poll taxes
must be paid not later than May OF
this year by those desiring to vote IN
the coming November elections.
The law provides for payment not
later than six months before the
election, but this year that date
which is May ., falls on Sunday. ms
matter was brought to the attention
of the Attorney General by citizens
interested, and he was asked 1t the
payments must be made on Saturday
May /, or if payment could De ce'
fcrred until Monday, May }. The
Attorney General ruled that the re,
quirement that payment be made SIN
months pricr to the election was
plain, and as no provision was made
for: the contingency arising this year
May ! is the last date ON whichEF pay
ments may be made.
Payment of the poll tax by May
is a prerequisite also to voting IL

say Germany has thrown out feelers
/ to Belgium. That country it is said,
has been asked if it will put up the
sword if the status quo is re-estab-
lished. The. same suggestions, it IS
asserted, have been made to France
the latter country has been offered
part of the territory she lost in the
the latter country has been offered
the war of 1870 if she will desert
England and Russia, according to
statements which we have not seen
refuted. The fact that the allies are
showing such defiance leads to the
belief that there must be something
in these reports, Notwithstanding de-
malls from the Kaiser.
A Petrograd dispatch says:
"While denying categorically that
Austria has made any direct peace
advances to Russia, officials here ad-
nit that peace suggestions have come
from the Pope at the instigation OF
private persons in Austria Hungary.
"Thc Pope's communication merely
asked whether, if Austria were will
ling, Russia would enter into negotia-
tionS with a view to peace. The an
swer was that if Austria desired
peace she must ask the allies for their
conditions which would then be COLI
sidered and communicated to the Aus
TRAN government
A Budapest dispatch says:
"The desire for peace is the over
whelming sentiment noticeable
throughout Hungary during the past
few days. How absorbed the people
are in this idea can be seen at a
glance in the newspapers, which, in
almost every issue contain prominent
illusions, editorials, and expressions
Of opinion along this line.
"For several days there has been
scarcely any public speech or state
ment on the war or the political stu
alton which did not touch on this sub
ject. Pronouncedly the government
newspapers are leading the peace
campaign. 1t is not yet easy, how
ever, to say what terms would be ac-
ceptable officially"

RUFUSING
TO VOTE,

1t has been shown that Il majority
OF white men in Richmond are dis
qualified to vote. Many have not paid
their capitation tax and others have
neglected to register. An organiza-
ton known as the Registration AS
ISOLATION has been formed in that
city for the purpose Of making a
whirlwind campaign to increase the
number of qualified voters. Attorney
General Pollard has delivered an op-
inion to the effect that poll taxes
must De paid Oh or before May 1st
by all who desire to participate III
this years elections.
The organization Of registration
association in Richmond brings to
mind similar measures in 1869, when
in every city, town and county NOM
bers Of the democratic party made
personal appeals to those who are
100 often inclined to let elections go
ky default. While the payment OF
poll taxes was not prerequisite to
vote at that time registration was,
and the workers succeeded in bring
mo cut the bulk Of the suffragans OF
Virginia who eliminated carpetbag
rule from the old Domision.
There are always some among US
vino decline to vote giving this and
that reason. Many keep themselves
sauare on the treasurcr's books, but
fail to take the trouble to register.
Others who pay their taxes and re-
o;ster are seized with notions to tol-
low Isaac Waltor's diversion on cleo
Ton tay. Yet this class are chronic
r;u,lrfnders with all policies and pub
Tic servants generally. They strange
" suppose that by saying, well
cont VOTE relieves them of all res
possibility. They should VOTE ahC'
il al would avail themselves Of thel'
privileges and recognize also thclt
duty in this important matter we
would probably see fewer warts ''

sin of King V;:tor Emmanuel, was
among the leaders.
A detachment Of bicycle ipollcc-
men came upon the procession as it
was proceeding through the city, but
no attempt was made to stop or DIS
