100000 worth of highly concentrated
dye still packed in her hold, the
pioneer of submersible merchantmen
wonder ship of the great war, lies
at her specially prepared wharf
strongly guarded by police. Her COM
mander and his officers are frankly
delighted and a little surprised at
the hearty welcome they have receiv-
ed.
Carefully inspected by an agent OF
the Department of Justice, as well as
by the surveyor of the port, the
Deutschland has had no trouble in
demonstrating her peaceful character
Her sole armament consists of four
revolvers, the personal toys of Off
GERS. Collector Ryan's report to Wash
ington places the Deutschland un-
questionably in the merchantmen
class. On her maiden trip the
Deutschland has more than paid for
her construction. Her commander,
Capt. Paul Koenig says so. The cost
of building her was $5OO,OO0, which
is easily wiped out by the profit to
be derived from her S1,0OO,0OO cargo.
The second vessel of the submarine
fleet, the Bremen, may be looked for
along the coast in about eight weeks
according to Capt. Koenig.

When Capt. Paul Koenig, COM

he will be heading for a possible

Attorney General Pollard
Holds Them Equally
Responsible
THE EASLEY CHARGES
Opinion of Interest to All Clerks
Throughout the Commonwealth Of
Virginia

Richmond, July 11-Holding that
successive acts of the General As
sembly alternately shifting the res
possibility for reporting moneys in
the possession of receivers or spe-
cial commissioners, from the clerks
of the courts to the examiners Of
records and vice versa, are not repug-
nant to each other, but cumulative,
Attorney-G General Pollard handed
down an opinion yesterday in which
he rules that the duty lies with equal
force against both classes of officers.
A ruling on this point was request
ed by Executive Assistant Garnett,
of the State Tax Board, before which
body charges had been filed against
Examiner James S. Easley, Of the
Sixth Circuit, alleging that, in failing
to report about 100000 Of this class
of property in Halifax County, he had
been negligent in his duty as examl-
ner. On this ground chiefly the State
Tax Board was asked to remove him
from office. On Saturday the board
removed Mr.. Easley without state
ment, appointing in his place Tucker
c.. Watkins, Jr., of South Boston.
Pursuant to this ruling, Mr.. Gar
nett has directed the preparation OF a
letter to be sent to every examiner
of records and court clerk in the
State, apprising them of their duties
under the law with respect to the re-
porting of moneys, bonds and other
evidences of debt in the hands OF
commissioners or receivers, subject 10
tho control of the courts In order
that there may be no question here
after as to the responsibility for the
performance of this duty. The At
torney-General's opinion is taken to
mean that with respect to this class
of property the duties OF examiners
and clerks are identical, and are in
tentionally made so for the purpose
of maintaining reciprocal check.'
To the spotlight that has centered
on the whole Easley-Watkins episode
since the swift developments of the
past few days, the Acknowledgements
oninion contributes an Illuminating
of momentous interest. Nowhere IN
his statement is there reference 70
the controversy. The opinion, never
thelcss, deals directly with the issue.
tho determinati tion of which appears to
have been Immediately responsible
for the removal of a tax officer OF
eight years standing and makes the
clerks of the court equally respon-
sible with the examiner for the de
reelection charged.
If Mr.. Pollard's conclusions are
correct, it follows that Clerk Gran
Craddock, of the Circuit Court Of !
Halifax County, has failed in the dis
charge of his official duties as sig
ually as has Examiner Easley in his
his, and if the examiners derellctlon
is punishable by removal from Office
so is the clerks, Mr.. Craddock, in
cidentally, took a prominent part IN
forwarding the campaign for Mr.:
Easley's removal.

HE FIDDLED AND
DARKNESS HID
THE COLOR LINE
A negro and a fiddle.

n negro ana uuQie.
The ancient combination that put
the muse in music.
Only the fiddle had grown into the
vast proportions of a bass VOL, and
the negro had shrunk from the con-
ventional proportions of the trouba-
dour to the wizened form that was
further dwarfed by the huge instru-
ment.
Otherwise, with the waving palms
in Palafox court, the darkness erasing
the color line, and the balcony of the
San Carlos overhead, it may have
been Don Carlos serenading in the
moonlight.
But Don Carlos didn't wear modern
pants, and that's what he did. So
did the audience of men, and they
stamped the scene as modern. And
so the negro and the fiddle went down
modern street, lighted with mod
ern lights, after affording a great
deal of amusement-more even than
Don Carlos!
P. S.-Don Carlos.

A bill clearing the title to the

The property is the southeast lot,
