Federation of churches, to the fedora

an appropriate form of the national

would be held in some one church of

Autoists Who Think They
Can Get Away With IT,
Chief Speed Violators

Do Richmond autoists violate the
speed laws of the city through ignor-
ance or carelessness, or just because
they think they can get away with it?
Just because they think they can
get away with it, is the main reason.
says Chief Alex. Gormon. Everyone
knows, or should know, the speed
limits, says the chief. Everyone has
a speedometer to tell how fast he is
going, or should be able to tell his
speed if a good driver.
The most persistent violators of the
cream they are Ralph De Palma, while
running down North A street to de-
liver groceries or dry goods, says the
police official.
People from the country respect the
speed laws and stay under the legal
limit much more than townspeople.
says the chief. Between them and the
delivery wagon speedsters come the
drivers of pleasure cars, some of
whom are careful about the law and
some are not.
Everyone should know the speed
laws, but for fear they have been for
gotten, here they are again. Six miles
an hour is the highest speed at which
it Is lawful to run a car around a
corner. Ten miles an hour is the legal
limit in the business district, which
embraces Main street from the river
to the residence section. Fifteen
miles an hour is the limit in the resi-
dence district, and twenty miles an
hour is the limit in any part of the
corporation. no matter how deserted

Officials Expect Same
Number of Exemptions

Only 1877 mortgage exemptions have
been filed in the county auditors Of
flee, with almost half the allotted time
for filing them gone.
Last year the total number of ex-
emptions filed was 1850, and there
were more filed by April 1 than have
been entered so far in 1919. By the
new tax law, the time for filing petit
lions for exemptions has been extend
ed slightly, now running from March
1 to the first Monday in May. Here
tofore it has been only during the two
months of March and April.
Officials believe that approximately
the same number of exemptions will
be filed this year as last, despite the
smaller number now in. Many far

centers is being extended more in
some of the larger cities of the coun-
try. 1t would probably not be feasible
to hold community gatherings for the
purpose of mere entertainment in the
downtown churches of the city, Mr..
Murray thinks, because there are too
many churches in a given radius, and
because there are too many permanent
and more attractively arranged places
of amusement for the people of those
districts to attend. 1t is his opinion,
however, that the plan might be car
ried out admira bly, in the outskirts, or

900 DANGEROUS
ENEMY ALIENS
Will Be HELD
1000 Were Interned by u.
S. During War, Palmer Re-
ports-Radicals to Stay.
tBy Associated Press)


WASHINGTON. March 2S-Attor-
ney General Palmer, disclosing today
that about 1000 enemy aliens were in
termed during the war, said paroles
would be granted to some 600 of the
harmless class, others would be re-
patriated, and 900 dangerous persons
would be held indefinitely including
about 200 protested members Of the
J. w. w, or anarchistic organizations
whose cases would be referred to the
department of labor with a view to
their deportation.
Nearly all the 1000 informed are
men, and half of them are merchant
seamen whose ships sought refuge
in American ports. About 1900 of
the seamen and 500 other Germans re-
garded as dangerous, have made APP
plicatiop for repatriation and the de-
partment Of justice expects that ar
rangements will be made soon
through the state department for
sending them back to Germany.
600 to Be Freed.
The department of justice" said
Mr.. Palmer, has recently directed the
release on parole of about 900 persons
belonging to the more harmless class
of dangerous alien enemies. This
group consists chiefly of persons who
were interned because of repeated vi
olations of parole or other regula-
tions and are now no longer regarded
as menace to the public safety.
When these men have been paroled
and the repatriation plan above re-
ferred to is carried out, there will re-
main in the internment camp approx
mately 900 dangerous aliens and it is
not expected that any substantial
number of these will be released in
the uear future.
About 200 of this number are pro-
fessed members of the l. w. W. or
anarchistic organizations and their
cases will be referred to the secretary
OF labor in a view to securing depor-
tation, if in his opinion, the evidence
warrants such action.
"The residue of these 900 danger
ouse enemies contain the large num-
Der of convicted criminals. spies and
enemy agents who in the view of the
attorney general ought not to be per-
mitted under any circumstance. to re-
main in this country after the de-
claration of peace"

Williams Undecided on Time
Used in Picking Text Books

Charles o. Williams, county superin-
tendent of schools, is as yet uncertain
what his attitude will be on the length
Of time the state board of education
should take to examine text books be-
fore the board selects books for the
coming year.
The state board holds a meeting
April 4 to receive bids for the state
text books for the next year, and at
that meeting will decide upon when
contracts will be let for the next
years books.
Formerly the board has taken from
May to June 20, more than month,
for the decision, but it is rumored
that this year the date set for letting
contracts will be some where near the
middle of April.
This would give the board only
ten days, or slightly more, to examine
the several hundred books from which
selection will be made for next year.
There are books to be chosen for
three new lines of study this year,
also.
There are three new members to
be appointed on the board" said Will
lams Friday, land because we don't
know what time they will want for the
examination of books, the situation is
still uncertain.
Probably a longer period than ten
days or two weeks should be taken for
the examination in view Of the fact
that these new men are becoming
members of the state board. But the
old board could have done the job in
two weeks. l cannot tell yet just
what the situation will be, or what
length of time should be taken, as
there may be several developments
before the board meets"

mers have paid off mortgages since
last year, and If the amount exempted
had been left the same the number of
exemptions probably would have been
lower But the amount which may be
exempted has been raised to $1,000,
which will result in more exemptions.
