TR|NKLE LEADING
 IN VIRGINIA RACE
 FOR GOvERNORSH|P
Has Majority of 15,000 to 18,00O Over Tucker on Partial Returns Received
 From Primary
By Associated Press

Richmond, Va, August 2.--Incom- plete returns. from the democratic primary elections in Virginia today indicate the nomination of F. Lee Trinkle of Wythe. for governor, by a majorty of 15.0O0 to 1S,o0o over his opponent. Harry St. George Tucker of Rockbridge. according to the Rich mond Times Despatch figures.
 The total vote cast probably ex- ceeded 150,00e Reports on the lieu tenant governorship are insufficient to determine the result. A count of returns to midnight showed Senator Junius F. West of suffolk, in tho le1d but so closely followed by Senator Julieun Gum of Henrico. and Dele- gate Kenneth Newcomber Gilpin of Clarke. that the vote from the strong holds of either. as yet unreported might result in decided change in their relative positions William BuI- lit Fitzhugh, of Northampton. finish ed last.
 Berkley D. Adams of Charlotte. is renominated as a member of the state corporation commission by an over- whelming majority over Elben c. Folkes of Richmond. It is probable that MT. Adams majority may reach 50 900.
 Most of Senator Trinkles majority comes from his home district, the Ninth. which he claims by l5.00U, and which it seems probable he has car ried by not less than 10000. Trinkle has also carried the First, Fifth and Sixth districts, and probably the Fourth. his majorities in the fifth and sixth having been very much greater than, had been expected by the Tucker forces
 On the other hand, according to the Times-Despatch figures the results in the Seventh. Eighth and Tenth districts are gratifying to the Tuckei adherents, and in the remaining dis tricts the results were nearly as had been expected. However. the trend to the Wytheville candidate was gen. eral and was reflected in most sec tions of the state.
 According to figures compiled by the Times Despatch, incomplete re- turns give Trinkle majorlties in the following cites: Roanoke 1.250 Lynchburg 300: Hampton 225, Char lottesville T 95: Buena Vista GO; Eris- tol 1,40o Petersburg 800 Frederlcks burg 75; Suffolk 34; and Tupckel majorities in these cities: Norfolk 800: Staunton 32o; Clifton Forge 225' Alexandria 800; Portsmouth S25.
 The principal issues In the cam paign. which was one of the hottes' for gubernatotial honors ever waged in Virginia. were good roads, better schools. increased teachers salaries, increased pensions for Confederate veetrans. oppositions to bond issues for state highways, and business administration Fuckers slogan was back to the constitution and thai of Trinkle's Forward. not back ward

Commission Will Act When Number Meters Reach 22,5OO Mark


 Montgomery. Aug. 2.--tSpeciaD When the total number of meters in the city of BIrming- ham reaches 22.500 the Alabama public service commission will make nm investigation to deter mine whether or not the rates for electric service furnished by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company should be reduced
 This is contemplated by . de- cisiOn of the commission made public yesterday which approved service regulations of the com pany and required the company to notify the commission when It's meters have reached this figure.
 The service regulations have been in effect for a long time. with few exceptions, but it was necessary for the electric company to obtain the approval of the commission under the new utility act of 1920 which puts the control of utilities in the public service commission.
 By the order requiring the company to notify the commits sion when its meters have reach ed TABOO. an old contract be- tween the company and its com sumers whereby there would be m automatic reduction in rates when the number was increased to that figure was abrogated. The public service commission held that might he unfair to the company or to the consumers to permit an arbitrary reduction of certain amount when cOndi- ticns at the time might call for a greater decrease in rates or 2 less decrease than was agreed by the contract

FINISH HEARINGS
 ON VALUATION OF
 F0RDNEY MEASURE
Committee to Determine Later Whether American Provisions Shall Be Re- tained as Basis for
 Fixing Duties
By Associated Press

Washington. August 2.-The Sem ate finance committee practically completed it's hearings today on American valuation provisions in the Fordney tariff bill preparatory to de- terminng later in the week whether they shall be retained as the basis of assessing duties. Three witnesses re- main to be heard on the subject to- morrow after which the dye embargo section, which was stricken out by the House, will be taken up for brief testimony. It's fate also will deter mine in the series of executive hear ings.
 Chairman Penrose said that demo- crats as well $ republican members would participate in the considera ton of the two subjects. Calling in the minority members mark depar- ture from usual method and from the course followed by the House ways and means committee in drafting the present bill.
 As result of the change in pro- cedure many senators declared the American valuation sections as draft ed by the House had small chance of receiving committee approval. It was said that none of the democratic committee members favored it. and f that several republicans would oppose Lit. Sentiment has been evident in the committee for acceptance of the modi- flied home value plan proposed by George c. Davis of the New York customs house.
 Burden on Manufacturer
 This would place the burden of proving that imports were compar- able or competitive with American products on the domestic manufacture CT instead of customs service. The home value basis 1t is claimed would be installed only in cases where proof was forthcominrs of the similarity of the articles, in which event it's pro- ponents believe there would be little cisions as to value.
 The point wal: made today by Tho mas J. Doherty Of New York, rep resenting the National Council of Inn porters and Traders, that the House bill has given no definition of the terms "comparable' and competi- tivc~ He declared they could ue con- strud in a score of ways and that the net result would be, an endless tangle of controversies over whether particular imports had counterparts in the American wholesale market He also asked the committee for a construction of the phrase principal market" from which. under the bill the prices for the home valuation must be taken for assessing duties.

 There was grave anxiety. however when Caruso only few days ago began to show signs of depression The rising temperature which had characterized previous attacks, re- cured, and steadily his condition grew worse until Saturday when he suffered from violent pains in the abdominal region. The medical con- sultation followed and it was appar- ent that the patient was not only suffering acute physical pain but that bis heart was weakening rap idly. oxygen was administered and other measures were taken to pro- long his vitality.
 Caruso himself wanted to pro- ceed immediately to Rome, but he was dissuaded from this because such a journey, 1t was pointed out might prove fatal.
 At his own request Caruso's body will be embalmed and the funeral services will be held tomorrow. It was recalled when he was sick in New York he had expressed the wish that he might die in Italy and now all Italy is mourning that this sad wish has come to pass
 The feeling of Italians has always been one of pride that Caruso for so many years represented the mu- sical genius of their race. And not only that. many of them had found friend in the beloved singer in time of need

 An operation to be performed at noon today was decided upon, but the patients condition became suddenly worse at 4;3O in the morning, and he died soon afterwards. Prior to this, heart stimulation was resorted to hourly
 In order that Caruso should not tire himself, the attending physicians ordered him not to speak, so during his last night he uttered no word Of the members of his family present at the death bed. the most pathetic was his old mother, who had always clung obstinately to her little home, despite her sons efforts to accds5om her to the material comforts of life.

 Present also at the bedside were his wife who was Dorothy, daughter of Park Benjamin of New York. Ca rusos little daughter, Gloria. and his son Rodolfo, his brother, Giovanni several nephews and the composers Vincenco Belazza and Paolo Longone

WILLIAMS FOLLOWERS PLEASED, HARDING HAS INNING TO-DAY


 Washingtgon, August 2.-(Special) John Skelton Williams, erstwhile cou ptroller of the treasury, and seyerest critic of the federal reserve board and it's policies, occupied the witness stand throughout the cay before the joint commission studying the cases and effects of the plight CT the agricultural classes of the coun- try.
 The yoluminous testimony of Mir. Williams was to the effect that the federal reserve board and it's gover- nor, w. P. G. Harding. discrimin1ted against the south and the west in fa- yor of Wall street spectators, and that the deflation policy of the board was responsible for the production panic in the productive sections of the United states.
 Governor Harding. who followed the testimony of MT. Williams with marked attention, but without inter- Eruption, today will be the witness tomorrow. Until he speaks in con travention of all that Williams has said, the situation will be chao-ic Tonight the friends of the board de- clare that Williams attempt to con vict the board resulted in fiasco The friends of William contend that he made ten -strike, and left his enemies paralyzed.
 An Eventful Day
 It was most eventful day. MT Williams on the witness stand, was | the quintessence of masculine gull chritude. He wore a frock coat of black with vest bordered by white with flowing silk tie decorated with large blue stone. His trousers were of flannel which almost reached the top of patient leather pumps. Governor Harding, on the contrary, was in plainly subdued business at tire. and in respect to the heat, had his sleeves pushed several inches above his cuffs. He held in his fin- gers the stump of cigar, the fife of which had been exhausted.
 The main heckler of the witness, Mir. Williams, was Representative ogden Mills millionaire, who is said to be typical of the moneyed inter- ests of New York. He was insistent, and Williams in his rejoinders was exceptionally spirited. Senators Pat Harrison of Mississippi and Arthur Capper of Kansas were, judging from their remarks, in sympathy with the witness in his assaults against the board.
 From the evidence given by Will Hams, the source of the information of which senators had criticized the reserve board. was developed. Much of that spoken by Williams had fea- ture speeches of members of Con- gross.
 It was indicated that there had be en propaganda against the board with Williams as it's inspiration. How :. ever, the Justification of the propa- ganda has not as yet been challenged. and. of course. 1t has not been vsri- xieAA
