HERRING RUN FAILS
 SELD0VIA DISTRICT

Seldovia. of fish has caused a great exodus of Seldovia's popula- tion during the last two weeks, and seemingly the winter herring is fail ing to show up this season.
 One of the largest concerns of the Inlet, the Franklin Packing Company during the last week moved their en- tire equipment and boats to Latouche.
 Present indications are that the her. ring season is not going to approach expectations and it is believed that some of the smaller fishing interests of the Inlet will be hard hit.

ANCHORAGE PAPER TELLS
 OF FINDING BOOZE CACHE

Further confirmation of the raiding of the Chickaloon Pool Hall at An chorage Monday by Prohibition Off, cer Flannigan and local officials is given in Anchorage papers of recent date. The particulars are as follows:
 The officers entered the pool room at three-thirty yesterday afternoon and were principally interested in a supposed cache in the safe in the off, flee.
 After a search of the safe had prov en fruitless the raiding party was about to withdraw when a hail from Chief of Police Lou Powless from the front basement brought the officers down. Powless had discovered queer looking pump with about four foot shaft.
 The discovery of the pump led the officers to prod around the dirt in the basement and soon brought to light a barrel. Simultaneously with the dis coVefy, the nghtS III the city block where the Chickaloon is. located, were cut off. Deputy Marshal H. I. Staser then summoned Pete Pederson and two labo1ers who dug up the first 52 gal len barrel. Each barrel brought up revealed the presence of another un- til five 52-gallon barrels of moonshine were found.
 The moonshine was then removed to the federal jail in Anchorage where it now reposes. Maelhorn was arrested and later freed upon $2,OOO bond. Leo- pold David has been retained as his attorney in the matter.
 Several experts on the price of mule in Anchorage have estimated the re- tail value of the haul to be between $15,O00 and $2O,OOO.

HIGHER CORPORATION
TAX SOUGHT BY BILL
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, February IL
Senator Elijah b. White of Loudoun
today offered bill which affects
every public service corporation in
the state and increases the tax rate
on them. The bill, according to
Senator White. will bring about $780,
900 to the Golfers of the state, and the
Increase on the utilities and on the
insurance companies Is so small
that it is not believed possible to in
any way affect rates charged for the
service.
The rates on railroad and canal
companies are raised just one-six-
teenth of a cent on franchise tax,
making the aggregate ] 6-16 to be
paid on the gross earnings in lieu
of any other tax or license to do
business The telegraph and tele-
phone companies will pay slightly
more for their lines of poles and
wires. the rate being uniform at
lighting. power and heating COM
penies are Increased one-thirty-second
of cent on gross earnings.
Insurance companies will pay one
miums collected in this state. making
this tax 2A per cent in the aggregate.
The tax rate on intangibles is raised
D cents straight, this being nearly
IL per cent, and is many times more
than is placed on any other class of
property. This latter is in lieu of
the 20-cent increase proposed in other
measures. and it is believed that 1t
will be more acceptable than the
higher rate. as the intangibles are
generally distributed, and some Of
those who can i'll afford to pay any
increase whatever would be hard hit
by the proposed higher rate.
The bill went to the senate finance
committee, where 1t will have to be
considered, and where the railroads
will make a determined fight to have
it rejected. There was a considerable
decrease in the revenues from these
sources last year over that OF 1912,
due to q lowering of the valuations.

here yesterday, when an order, sign

the senate temperance committee to
report out the Robb enforcement bill.
was defeated after a prolonged dis

In explaining their vote five s"na-

he voted against the order as an act
