ALLEGED WAR HERO
STAYS BEHIND BARS

Military authorities do not think
that the services of A r Johns. alias
Temple r. Walton, now in the city
jail charged with forgery. are neces-
sary to the successful prosecution of
the war, and the haheas corpus pro-
ceedings entered in the hustings court
were turned against him yesterday.
He appealed to the authorities that he
was being Illegally detailed in the
city lookup, he being an alleged
member of the marine aviation serv-
ice. but Alfred ]. Kirsh. who argued
in his behalf. was unable to secure
the approval of the petition.
Johns is charged with forging a
check on FIX. Governor Henry G.
Stuart for SIS. and Il la stated that
he Is wanted in Florence. South Caro-
lima, for a similar offense. After his
arrest here he stated that he was 4
memb Der of the marine corps. an avia-
tor. and that he had seen service and
com bat with the enemy overseas. He
told some rather thrilling stories OF
his alleged adventures. And as IL to
emphasize his story. he pointed to the
gold chevron on his arm
It came out In the court. however,
that he had not seen SO many battle
fields. and he finally confessed that he
mad seen only SIX months service, anu
that had been on this side of the At
lantic Captain Mott. in charge OF
the local Marine recruiting office. told
Judge Richardson that so far from
needing Mr. Johns services, the ma
rine corps wished the court to keep
him and prosecute him to the fullest
extent If the circumstances justified it,
Judge Richardson held that A man IN
uniform could be held by civil court
unless his services were needed for
the successful prosecution of war. His
decision reversed that of Justice
Crutchfield. who has repeatedly held
that n soldier cannot be kept in Gus
tody By civil authorities.

70 ASK TAX ON BANK
ACC0Uk1eBE REMOVED

The Central Trades and Labor
Council would have Governor Davis
recommend to the next legislature the
repeal of the law taxing money in
bank.
Elimination OF this tax. 1t is ar
gued, would help business generally;
building in particular would be given
an jpnetus. and the. state would re-
celte, from snew1s puaufhrss nj nj. M
fnsnd alone more than Il rev re-
ceives from the tax on deposits In
every city and county. Resolutions
outlining the plan approved by the
council follow:
Normal building operations were
greatly delayed. and in many IN
stances practically suspended. DUR
ing the recent world war, labor and
capital being almost entirely employ
ed in war industries and war con-
struction work, and the readjustment
now about to take place may result
in many Of our fellow workmen being
thrown out OF employment.
The advancement Of building con-
struction is contingent to great ex-
tant upon loans from banks to build
ers and contractors
The past Liberty loans for the sup
hort OF the government have greatly
reduced the savings in the banks used
TOR such purposes.
Tho money Of many persons ts not
deposited In banks at all. but kept in
ether places to avoid their business
pocrets becoming known.
Tho United States congress has re-
fused to place stamp taxes on checks
tor fear Of further Withdrawals from
AankA and some OF the states, New
Jersey, for instance, are experiencing
prosperity under the no disposit tax
law.
Virginia only receives about $780,
900 annually from this tax. which 1t
can we'll afford to do without IL the
banks receive and put in circulation
the money now In hiding: therefore.
be IT
Resolved by the Richmond Central
Trades and Labor Council. That the
governor be requested to recommend
to the next general assembly that the
tax on bank deposits be practically
removed through the enactment OF
law taxing deposits in the banks at a
nominal amount, say at a dollar per
million dollars on deposit, SO that the
people will be encouraged to take
theiE-m money to the banks without the
fear OF their private business being
learned from the state revenue Of
ncers. -
Resolved further. That II is our Arm
belief that IL a law of this character
were enacted the state would receive
from the city of Richmond alone,
from the taxes upon the additional
buildings that would be erected in
consequence of the removal OF these
restrictions on bank deposits. more
than II now receives from the entire
state from the present bank deposit
tax.
Resolved further. That the press OF
the city and state, and cur unions be
requested to discuss this matter SO
that II may he acted upon by the next
general assembly.
