S103,00O,O00 During Past Several
Years.

Richmond, April 2.-Vigorous, in

the State and meet personally as
sessment officers, in order that they
may have uniform understanding
of what is expected of them in car
rying out the law. Our expenditures
this year will be heavier than at
any time in our history, and no wheel
will be left unturned in the tax as
sessment and collection machinery to
meet all claims without leaving a
deficit in the treasury.
"The law gives me authority to in
woke the aid of grand juries IN tax
matters. This has been done during
my administration. | nope such a
recurrence will not be necessary again.

from every corner of the earth come
to visit the holy sites. it has been
increased to thirty. There is in
Jerusalem every kind Of race and ma
tionality. each vying with the others
by building more imposing and
magnificent buildings, by opening
schools and converts or by building
hospitals and churches. Thus Ger

. Russians, ,Spaniards, Austrlans Hun
garians Greeks, Abyssinians. etc.
have very magnificent buildings that
add to the beauty Of the city and
that will stay forever as monuments
in the holiest Of cities.
Sunday morning is a very pleas
ant day in Jerusalem. Bells from
the various church towers are heard
ringing from every corner of the
city all the day long. calling men.
women and Children to prayers. Each

cessful in doing this for over half a
century. No matter how chronic or

80 CANDIDATES
AT GODDARD
And Four of Them Are
Trying Out for Pitch
er's Position
SEASON OPENS
APRIL % IN BARRE
There Are Several Teams
Of College Men on the
Schedule

Goddard seminary's baseball season
has all indications of being an exceed
ingly good one, as the 80 or more can
didates who turned out yesterday and
the day before for batting practice had
some excellent team material. The
pitching staff, always the backbone OF
such an organization, will undoubtedly
be the strongest in years, with four
first -cass men, one a southpaw, com
peting for a place on the list as a
regular.
In this group is included America
Polli, the Barre lad who for the past
three years has built the foundation
for q good record with the Spaulding
high school team, and then gained the
title of the boy Wonder" pitching
with the Granitevile A. c., which met
many teams composed of much expe-
rienced players, During his work last
summer Polli pitched several no.hit
games and though Coach Robert Leah
ey has not seen him work in a game,
his high recommendation from Barre
players convinces him, after seeing him
warm up once or twice, that he has at
least one good bet.
Practically all the candidates are ex-
perienced players, either with the team
last year or have had experience with
other school teams, so the matter of
getting down to stiff practice will be
delayed only by the weather and dia-
mond conditions.
The schedule as far as completed is
as follows:
April 2s-Fort Ethan Allen at Barre.
Moy III. V. NJ. seconds at Barre.
May 5--Exeter academy at Exeter,
N. H.
May 6--Tufts college seconds at Bos-
ton.
May Holy Cross seconds, Worees-
ter, Mass.
May s-Dean academy at Franklin,
Mass.
May lo--Cushing academy at Ash
burnham. Mass.
May l2-St. Michaels college at
Barre.
May l5--Norwich university seconds
at Mortified
May l9--Dartmouth freshmen at
Hanover, N. H.
May 22--St. Michael's college at Wi
nooski.
May 26--In doubt as to a return
game with L. V. M. seconds at Bur
lington.
May 3l--Dean academy of Franklin,
Mass, at Barre.
There remain a few open dates from
June | to IL, when the regular sessions
OF school are suspended for the summer
vacation.
1t will be noted in the above sched- |
ule that several contests with college
teams are included in this seasons
games. all of which will be interesting
to baseball fans of this vicinity.
