The 1916 Chautauqua started to-
day and as if in anticipation of this
happy event, the skies cleared during
the morning, ana the weather, which
had been decidedly cool, became very
much warmer, so that it was posi-
BILE to have a successful parade. The
parade started in the Spring Valley,
with Hon. Edward S. Phillips as
marshal, and with the Boy Scouts,
carrying Chautauqua flags and a
large number of school children
marching. A drum corp furnished
the music, while in the line of pa
rade, which was long one, we're
number of decorated automobiles
and bicycles. The line of march was
from High street out Church to Mill,
up Mill to Locust, up Locust to Pop
lar and Race streets, to Muir, down
Muir to Academy, and down Acade-
my to the Chautauqua grounds.
Those who have met the new Su-
perintendent, Rev. J. M. Wells, ex-
press themselves as delighted with
him, and believe that he will make
very worthy successor to DR.. Frank

NEW HIGH MARK
IN GREAT PLAGUE
Forty-four Deaths Yesterday and foi
New Cases--Bciieye Disease Is
Self Limiting in Character.

New York, July 29.--The death
record in the infantile paralysis cpl
demic reached a new high mark to-
day. Forty -four victims were claimed.
This was an increase of eleven over
yesterdays figures. New cases re-
ported totslled ISL. and it became
apparent a change in temperature
makes no difference in the progress
of the disease. The number of new
cases today has been exceeded only
twice since the beginning OF the cpl
demic.
The board of health weekly bull
letin gave the grand total of cases
as 1855, and deaths 773. Health
Commission Emerson declared these
figures did not indicate any sudden
lack of control of the disease.
Or John S. Billings, in charge of
the Brooklyn office, said the disease
that borough.
DR.. Wade II. Cross, OF the Public
Health Service. has advanced the
theory that fnfahtiie pataiysls is "a
self-iinlited disease, said DR.. Billings.
He holds it apparently goes through
community and feeds upon those
who are susceptible, and that when
1t burns itself out of available ma
terial it declines and disappears
Since ii is evident that all children
are not susceptible, its ravages are
not nearly so widespread as in some
other diseases"

LITTLE CHANGE IN
PARALYSIS CASE

There is little or no likelihood that
any spread OF infantile paralysis will
result from the case of Myra Mont
gomery. the four-year- old child who
was brought here from Philadelphia
by her mother. and developed the dis
ease, according to DR.. +. C. Levy,
chief of Richmond's Health Depart
ment.
DR.. Levy last night reported the
child as doing as well as could be exz
pected, although some slight paraly sis
had begun to show in the right leg.
THE little girl said DIR. Levy. lis
very Ill but it la entirely too soon to
be able to say Just how serious the
case will be. We can only wait on
developments"
So completely has the first case of
the disease to appear in Richmond
been guarded. that DIR. Levy says there
is no reason to expect further cases.
The only danger he said. Is other
cases being brought into the city, such
as the one we have There LIS nothing
that could be done by the authorities.
declares DR.. Levy. that has not been
done to prevent the epidemic from
spreading, The house and members Of
the family have been Guaranteed, and
investigation has shown that the child
had little opportunity to infect
others.

GARBAGE COLLECTORS
ARE TO WORK TO-DAY

Acting under instructions issued by
Chief Health Officer Levy, Street
Cleaning superintendent Cohn yester-
day ordered one garbage cart and crew
to work today, removing garbage IN
the area adjacent to the Thirty-second
Street house in which Myra Mont
gomery suffered an attack of infantile
paralysis. The work is regarded as
necessary to the preservation of health
and it is anticipated that the police In
enforcing the Sunday law will not in
terfere with the garbage men.
Health officer Levy has ordered daily
garbage collections in the district in
which the case of the dread malady
appeared.

TAX BILL FILED
IN TWOHY TAX CASE

A cross bill was filed in the City
Circuit Court yesterday by Assistant
Attorney Leslie C. Garnett, to
the petition of George Twohy, OF Nor
folk. executor OF the estate of John
Twohy, to prevent the collection of al
legged erroneous assessments made by
Richard McIlwaine, Jr.. examiner Of
records for that city.
Mr.. McIlwaine assessed the estate
with omitted taxes for the years 1906
to 1912. ranging in value from $780,
600 to 100000, tho aggregate tax as
sessment being something over s10.-
600. 1t is this amount that the execu-
tor of the estate is attempting to re-
strain collection. 1t is Mr.. Garnetts
idea that taxes should be collected
from the year 1895 to 1913. the time of
Mr.. Twohy's' death.
Mr.. Garnett says that from 1895 to
1899, inclusive, Mr.. Twohy returned
only $3.50 in intangible property In
1893 he declared $3.50. From 1900 to
1909, inclusive, he returned no intan-
gibles for taxes but from 1910 to 1919
he returned $4,000.
In 1912 Mr.. Twohy turned over TO
George Twohy, in trust for himself and
brother s303.so0 in taxable securities.
John Twoby died In 1914, leaving over
s240, 900 In bank and $4,000 in nom
taxable securities. Settlement of the
executor made in 1914 showed the
estate had income of over $4,000 an
rually yet from 1895 to 1909 he re-
turned only $1,000 income, and from
1910 to 1913 only $4,000 annually.
Therefore. says Mr.. Garrett. the ex-
ecutor should be required to declare
all assessments of John Twohy from
1895 to 1918 inclusive. and that the
executor be also required to pay upon
correct assessments of all property and
income during those years.
