WILL SUE FOR INCREASE.
Richmond Wants State Railway Val.
uation Raised to City Rate.

RICHMOND, Va, November 25.-
Richmond city has increased the value
of real estate owned by the several
railroads within her borders by about
S., ,OOO. 900 and will ask that the assess
ments fixed by the state corporation
commission give way to the city val
uation. For long time there has been
complaint against the assessments
made by the commission, the matter
engaging the attention of the general
assembly and occasioning considerable
acrimonious discussion. In all parts of
the state there has been protest against
the small valuations on the part OF the
commission. but these have in the main
gone unheeded. the increases from time
to time amounting to SO little that it
occasioned no talk.
There has been a reorganization Of
the commission and speculation is rife
that the next assessment will be such
as will increase the taxes paid to the
state by not less than 25 per cent of
the present sum. The suit is to be
brought by the city and will be heard
before Judge r. Carter Scott of the
circuit court. That the railroads will
make fight on the increase there 10
no question.

Attorney General Pollard Rules in
Reference to Virginia Electors.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, November 25--At-
torney General Pollard has ruled that
each elector in the last presidential
election must file a statement of his
expenses in that election. He has per-
sonaIly sent notice to all the demo-
Gratis, saying that this is necessary in
order that the electors be able to cast
their ballots in the electoral college.
The electors for Virginia will meet here
December at noon and cast their bal
lots and conform to the requirements
of the law.
The state board of canvassers Will
meet here Monday to open and tabu-
late the returns of the election. I'm
official figures show that Wilson re-
ceived more than 1920 votes i'm vir-
ginia, an increase of some $1,000 over
four years ago, and that his majority
over Hughes will exceed $4,000. a gain
of more than 1900 over his first cam
paign.
Senator T.. Lee Trinkle, the unsuc-
cessful candidate for Congress in the
ninth district, here a few days ago.
said that his own defeat was directly
due to the fact that very many demo-
Gratis had not paid their poll taxes, and
he quotes the figures to show that had
all been paid and had they voted he
would have won by majority of some
400.

uled to leave her dock at the
foot of Water and streets south
west at daybreak THANKSGIVING day
for four-day cruise, ending Sunday
night, according to an announcement
of Commander r. B. Brummet, COM
manding the battalion.
Commander Brummet said THURSDAY
night that the vessel will cruise around
in the lower river. where the officers
and men would participate in naval
drills and exercises.
A. H. TruXes. a seaman in the sec
ond division, has successfully passed
the examina ton for appointment as
second lieutenant in the regular army.
The two guns at the militia armory
used in training gun crews were
placed in commission Thursday night,
and the gun crews which will fire at
target practice next year are being
organized.
Lieut.. Dean r. Van Kirk with four
enlisted men. will leave here within a
week or two for Pensacola, Fla. where
they will take a three months train
ing course at the navy's aerial train
ing station. When this aviation squad
returns it is probabl that the Navy
Department will assign an aeroplane

Commander Brummet said that the
local organization should be considered
very lucky in being selected to be
among the first to send officers and
men to the training school. The first
course for militia officers opens in De-
cember, and only four officers and six
nresent at a time to take the course.

witches Is q certainty with them, and there Is absolutely no possibility of convincing them that there are no such things as witches. It isn't stub borness on their part, Is simply and sincerely their belief that there are among their tribesmen, persons who have power to cast a spell over others of their number"
 In answer to the question What direction does their practice or witch. craft usually take?" Mir. Beattie said: Well, we'll assume for instance that some member of the village commun- ity has a sore throat. After a little while he will 80 to see an Indian doctor about It, and the doctor will tell him that someone has bewitched him.
 "The process of casting a spell over a person usually takes a course some thing like this: The witch Will catch some animal, or 1t may be a bird and strangle 1t by tying around It's neck a piece of the clothing of the man whom he wishes to bewitch. The thing of course dies and 1t Is then hidden away somewhere. Within certain number of days after that, the bewitched person dies. The only way
 :. which spell may be cast off is by securing this animal or bird and throwing 1t into the salt water Simply burying 1t does no good. according to the Indian legend. And since the tool of the witch Is usually hidden very securely, there Is very little chance for the bewitched to free himself from the charm.
 "The whole thing Is, of course purely psychological situation, and savers to certain degree of hypnotism. But 1t

In this twentieth century it is diffi- cult for the white man to realize that a really substantial belief In witch craft can still exist among the natives as closely associated with civilization as are the natives of the village of Killisnoo. And yet, for the past six years there has been going on In that village series of so-called witchcraft performances which finally eliminated F. thorough investigation of the mat ter by W. G. Beattie, superintendent of native schools. and District Attorney A. Smiser.
 Mir. Beattie states that he Is not yet in a position to divulge the exact nature of the present case but stated that at Killisnoo witchcraft has been practiced for something like six years and that 1t has been found necessary to investigate the situation thoroughly In an effort to dispel the effects of a psychological situation known 10 the Thlinkets as witchery.
 When asked If the idea of witch craft was not rather out of date in this twentieth century. MT. Beattie replied: Tt may seem so to the twen- eith century white man, but 1t must be remembered that the motive Is not twentieth century person in the mat ter of civilization.
 This question of 'witchcraft' con tinued Mir. Beattle. "is one of the most difficult problems We have to hancie among the natives. The existence Of
