MUST PAY STATE TAXES.
Supreme Court Rejects plea Of Com.
mod0re That he is Citizen of ne
Particular State.

The plea of Commodore c. NJ.
Fahs, of the United States Navy,
that he is citizen at large and owes
allegiance to no particular State,
and is, therefore, not liable to taxa
ton in Virginia on $1,000 worth al
intangible property, doesn't appear
to be sound argument to the Supreme
Court Of Appeals, which refused
yesterday relief to the naval officer
from a judgment entered against
him in the Circuit Court Of Glouces-
ter County.
Under the Stars and Stripes, the
commodore sailed the seven seas for
thirty-two years. Finally, he re-
tired from active service and took up
temporary abode on property left
him by his mother in Gloucester
county. He had intended to set sail
soon for his wife's home in Scotland
but the European war doomed up on
the horizon and kept the commo-
dore in Virginia. The examiner of
records came along and refused to
consider the exigencies of the situa-
ton. The Circuit Court was equally
as sure that q man must have q
legal domicile somewhere.
The commodore entered the Naval
Academy at Annapolis from Ala
bama. Many years ago he stopped
claiming it as his home. but says
in his petition that, if man must
be 4 citizen of single State, Ala
bama has more right to boast of I
commodore than has Virginia. Since
the declaration Of war on Germany
the naval officer has been called to
active duty again.
