Robert J. Johnson, merchant Of
Gilmcrton, a suburb near Ports
mouth, was shot and killed Wednes-
day night by persons said to have

preciatc that what we are asking is
for the good of the government in
this crisis.
at needs no argument to demon
strate that to respond to this duty
of ours to the government the use
of every piece of equipment, the en-
errv and effort of every officer and
employee will be needed, and the
freeing of it's tracks and equipment
must be made +.
at is imperatively necessary that
the Southern Railway System, to-
gether with the other railroads of
the United States, be permitted to
conserve the utility of its motive
power, its cars, its tracks, its num-
Der of trains, its class Of traffic, and
its men. To continue our present
elaborate passenger service will rem
der sterile our efforts to meet the
required demands of the government
in this emergency.
ALREADY certain Commodities have
been placed on the preferential list,
namely iron and coal, and other traf-
fic must be subordinated to these.
We must give preference to the
movement of iron, coal, lumber, cop
per. and other war supplies, and all
food products, for the equlpping of
the merchant marine, the navy and
army. and the feeding of the men;
as well as to the movement of troops
from one point to another"
In asking for this reduction in its
passenger service, Mr.. Coapman sta
ted that it would be the Southern's
policy to safeguard as far as possible
the convenience of the public.

7 AXES IN FAIRFAX CO.
Attorney Increases Assessment To
tails by More Than S75O,OOO.

About $750,000 in values has been
added to the tax lists in the county
of Fairfax, the habitat of many per-
sons who do business in Washing
ton. 1t has not, however, been noted
for returns indicating plethoric bank
accounts, large holdings in "intangl-
bles," but these valuables are not dis
covered, ownership established and
they will figure in the anuai returns
for many years to come when the tax
men make the journeys.
Oscar L. Shewmake, counsel to the
state tax board, is back in mis- office
in Richmond after spending two or
three days in that section. lie went
to meet the court officers, the lawyers
appearing for the owners CT the pro-
pertics and had a most satisfactory
conference with them. Mr.. Shew-
make, who was disposed to effect STE
Elements without resort to court pro-
cccdings, explained the law and point
ed out that such a course meant ad-
ditional expense and worry and that
the state would win the cases. That
induced the litigants to see the other
side of the situation, and they agreed
to "do the proper thing"
Mr.. Shewmake said that it was I'M
possible to make any approximate es-
innate of the amount that the new es-
scssment would mean to the state and
to the county Each of the cases Is
based on a different year, many OF
them running back to 1906. Then, too,
the rates varied for several years and
it will require considerable figuring TO
determine Just what each case mears
TO the Golfers Of the state and the
county. Mr.. Shewmake is as much
concerned in the placing of these Sc
curities on the tax lists for coming
years as in getting the little omissions
for past years. And there arc other
counties on Mr.. Shewmake's little
list that will figure in agreements
before many months have passed ana
the states revenues will be Increased.

ITALY STRIKES HARD
Carso Army Takes Sudden Leap To-
ward Trieste, Capturing 1000 Aus

TRANS.
London, May 25.-Italy's CaTso
army has taken sudden leap toward
Trieste, heart of 'Italia lrreGenta.'
So unexpected and irresistible was
this leap that on a front of five miles
Austro- Hungarian troops aWc-str!cHch
had no time for strategic retreat,
much less for any sort OF defense
Their first lines were showed bac';
Ike 50 many tin soldiers; the second
lines, overrun by friend and foe, were
thrown into Undesirable panic, and
the lines beyond just fled as fast and
as far as they could
EA,n the blow had S:rucK home,
Gen. Cadorna's right wing stood less
than ten miles from Trieste. There It
stands now, beating off bitter come
bac;;:s" By the Austro-Hungarlans'
who have meanwhile rallied.
Nine thousand fighters, who were
on the Austrian side when the sur
prise came. arc not among the coun-
cr-attacl;eis. They are prisoners In
Italian hands. Three hundred of them
are officers. The proportion besides
showing heavy losses in k!lled ana
wounded. proves the attack was ELI
tirely unexpected.
One town. one village and three
heichts fell to the Italians.
