REPORTED RYAN WILL
OFFER TO PAY MILLION
Examiner Drummond VIII Split Big
Fee With Attorney Lee,
1t Is Said.

According to report Thomas For
ginia's richest citizen. and reported to
be worth at least sI00.000,00O, owes
the State of Virginia the neat sum OF
s2,2o0.0o0 In omitted taos. This COW
ers period of only twenty years. and
is based on II estimate OF $4,000, 900
as the amount OF his wealth.
r. II. Dummund examiner of records
for the Twenty ninth District in which
Mr.. Ryan has his Virginia home will
get as his commission when Mr.. Ryan
pays up, fee close TO 100000. 1t ia
rumored that Mr.. Ryan. through elis
attorney. Congressman Hal Flood, a
warm personal and political friend.
will offer the State 100000 as
compromise. Such an offer would have
to be refused because all tax collectors.
and even the State Legislature is pro-
htbited from comprising tax claims.
Examiner Drnmmond may summon
Mr.. Ryan 10 appear In person or by
counsel and make a statement as to
his holdinaa Should he fail to do so
1t is very probably that the examiner
will simply assess Mr.. Ryan on his
income and intangibies at $50o.o0o.000
for the past ten years and such step
would put tho burden Of proof on Mr..
Ryan to show that he didn't own that
much.
Fees Smaller Next Year.
The present high enthusiasm for
their duties exhibited by examiners In
some districts may be traced to the
fact that after this year their fees
cease and they are limited TO incomes
Of $500 for a years work, All that
an examiner has to do Is to make an
assessment and unless the person as
sessed can show that 1t is exhorbant.
the assessment stands.
This one item of Mr.. Ryan will prob
ably net the State $4,000. 900 and exami-
her Rrummond anywhere from SITS. 900

II be splits even with his attorney,
John II. Lee. Of Lynchburg, each will

Congressman Flood will probably
represent Mr. Ryan. rs a.
Attempts viii probably be made to
settle the case without recource to
the courts steps.
T'he State authorities. however. seem /
determined TO make Mr.. Ryan make a
fun settlement.

IN MEMORIAM.

To the loving memory OF my dear
father. LODovICo TRAFrERI. who
passed into the beyond one year ago
today. September IS, 1914. aged eigh1
ty-e:ght years, at his home, Campol
Lucca, Italy
He~was q man of fine qualities. wha|
bore himself with that dignity and
Christian fortisude which becomes the
followers of Christ. His children hon-
ored him. and his neighbors trusted
him and looked up to him In matters o1
concern. His counsel was sought BY
all clashes OF neighbors. and HIS char
table forebearance made OF him q
model for all who knew HIM.
His children remember him as the
great guide and leader. and they look
back into the past when his footsteps
led TO the church. and where the chill 1
dren loved to follow.
No father was more beloved by htal
children and no husband more honored
by his wife. His right hand never
knew what his left did. but his many
good deeds are recorded in the boolgj
OF life.
We hope to meet him when the great
day comes. Hts example shall alwayal
be cherished. and We point to him a.
the model whom any man might feel
proud to follow.
1t was with great distress we red
ceived the news OF his death here in1
Richmond. many thousand miles away
Our grief was none the less sincere
and we felt that good man had been
taken away. May he rest In peace
until the Judgment Day. when his soul
will 20 above to sit with tho elecQ

FEDERAL GRAND JURY
TO PROBE H0PEWELl
Reported BY Investigators At
Next District Court.

The probe into lawlessness at Hope
well, now going on at Prince George
Courthouse, where special grand
jury has been sitting for the last six
weeks. is shortly to be supplemented
by probe from another quarter. The
United States District Court will take
a hand in the game.
AT the next session of the District
Court, to be held in this city next
month, reports of Federal officers who
have been investigating at Hopewell
will be laid before the Federal grand
jury and number Of indictments
charging violation of the white slave
act and other laws are expected Just
how many of these cases there will be
is problematical. but 1t Is said that
the number of indictments returned
will be large
The female portion of the popula-
ton Of Hopewell is comparatively
small. Most Of the women who were
in the powder town when the Prince
George Investigations began severa,
weeks ago have left for other parts.
Hopewell was literally flooded with
women from the red light districts
OF number OF large cities, who could
see better "plckings" in the new town
in boom times. Many women driven
out of other cities, Washington. Rich
mond and Petersburg among them,
when segregated districts were closed
also fiecked to the town,
a number of the women came from
other States. some of them brought
into Virginia by men. in violation of
the white slave act. OF the immoral
resorts operated in Hopewell some
were operated by men as proprietors
or managers
The violations of the law are con-
tnuing at Hopewell. but they are less
open than they were two months ago,
before the lid" was put on.

TO His Death

Jonesviile, Va, Sept, l7.-Ed
Wheeler, of Adrian, Michigan. aero
naut, was killed in a fall from his bal
loon while making an ascent at the
Lee County Fair Grounds here rais
afternoon.
Wheeler had three parachutes. The
first opened promptly when cut loose,
the second also opened without &C.
cident. When he cut the third one
loose, 1t began to open, and when it
had opened enough to check the de-
scent, Wheeler seemed to lose mis-
balance and fell out OF the swing
backwards. He fell from 500 to 900
feet and struck the earth Just out
side of the north fence of the fair
grounds
His body was picked up a few mo-
ments later, a bruised and broken
mass.
