STOLEN WATCH FOUND.

While delivering groceries at the home of John Dunlay on West Main street, a groceryman noticed some thing shining on the lawn. Picking it up, he found it to be the $500 watch stolen about a week ago from the home of Alfred Corbin on West Main street. The watch had MT. Corbin's name inscribed on it in two places and it is evident that the burglars finding this, decided it was too dan gerous to keep it. The watch was buried by the snow and ice since the robbery.

IMPORTANT RULING
Judge Richardson Holds Tint Stat.

ruling of great local interest
was handed down yesterday by judge
Richardson in Hastings Court, when
he ruled that person convicted in the
Federal Court for violation Of the
bone-dry law. is also liable for trial
in State court for violation of IN.
State prohibition law.
The case in point was that Of Pearl
Henderson. colored. who was called 10
trial for violation Of the State 'probi-
bition statute, having heretofore bee,.
convicted on the same charge in the
United States District Court. For this
reason her attorney entered a plea Of
'autrcfois convict" but the plea was
overruled. the court holding that the
offense charged was against two
separate and distinct sovvereignties.
the Commonwealth Of Virginia and the
United States of America.
In the cases of Charles Lilly and
Bell Mongigron, which came up on
appeal from sentences imposed in the
lower court, the jury brought in a
verdict of acquittal in both cases.

BUSINESS MEN DISCUSS
NEW FEDERAL TAX BILL
Hold Divided Opinion Over Value OF
Making instn1lment Payments OF In
conc and Exccss-ProIt LcYIea


Divided opinion over the ultimate
value Of making Federal income and
cXcess-prof1t tax payable in INSTALL
ments. which is provided in a bill now
pending before Congress. was held
here last night by Richmond business
men and bankers. 1t is expected tina.
some action will be taken on the bill
in the next few days. In the mean
time. the matter is being widely dis
cussed.
Because OF the South's peculiar sit
uation and the demands made upon it
during the harvest time to finance
crops, bankers here generally believe
the government should require the in
come and excess-profit tax TO be paid
in a single installmcut. They pointed
out that unless there was a material
extension OF payments. certainly
through October. little benen, would
result from any extension.
This view was expressed contingent
upon the action or the government in
depositing collections in banks TO pre-
vent any great withdrawal OF funds
from any one section. which would per-
NIT banks to properly meet all de-
mands. Bankers stressed the great
needs OF the government at this time,
and declared that the smallness of the
Third Liberty loan was in anticipa-
ton OF receipts from war taxes. They
also pointed out that Treasury Ger
ti1cates had been offered last Deem
Der to enable people TO meet this tax,
and believed that the levics could be
met as readily in June as any other
time.
Many business men favored the In
stallment plan because II would enable
them TO make the payments without
any great strain on their concerns.
There was. however. view that since
the payments must ultimately be made.
that one payment, while perhaps caus-
ing some inconvenience, could be easily
met. This opinion was expressed by
several of the larger business men, al
though there were many who favored
an extension.
