effective on April 1.
Th4 Virginia Hallway and Power
I'ompnny, as Is required by law, re
cently petitioned the State Corporation
Commission to be permitted to change
its variable rate to a flat basis. Op
position was aroused, and business
men's committees held several investi
gations as to the proposed change, but
when the petition was presented to the
commission, offered no interference.
Assistant City Attorney (>eor?e
Wayne Anderson was present at the
hearing, and questioned the experts put
(ill by the railway company, but d? -
elded, when called upon by the commis
sion, that the- city at that time would
take no definite stand. The hearing
was continued to February 1 ??. to allow
the city to file a brief if it so desired.
No further action lias been taken,
though the rity may at any time op
pose the establishment, or if it be es
tablished, the contimmnee of the new
rate.

At the hearing before the Commis

nothing to the contrary was proved?
that til-- new rate was a reduction on

than Injured by the change.

{Special to Tim Times- | iisputch. J I
WAS111NtiTON, February -I.?(.Jon- j
oral Ohrugon, Carranza's military kov- J
ernor of Mexico City, and the Federal
district, has issued a sweeping decree !
' which Imposes taxes on sill foreigners I
j and natives, and foreign and native!
? oipoiations. with t li ?* throat that if
, the decree is not obeyed by C o'clock on '
Friday evening tlm offenders will be j
imprisoned for thirty days.
J According to the State Department I
. telegrams. the Obregon decree "exacts '
a payment, within seventy-two hours,
j eijual to :<-4 of 1 per cent on the capl- ;
tnl of all banks, business houses, stock I
i crrmpiinles, mortgage holders and pn- j
vnte individuals operating within Uio|
Federal district, including all foreign
corpoi n lions ami private business men."
The decree also includes "all com
panies organized abroad, but operating
; within the Federal district." These are
subject to the tax on the basis of the
capital invested in the republic.
A tax will also be collected, in the
proportion of one-third of I pec cent
of tlie annual tax on all taxpayers wi'h
; in the district The time given will
expire 0. I', >1. next Friday, and the
penalty for noncompliance forthwith is
confiscation, the appointment of re
j oelvers, and imprisonment for thiity
. days.
This decree is one of the most dras
tic yet Issued and. as it concerns all
) nations, it is likely tJiat foreign na
j tl*na. ?t lea..', will see that no double
i taxes or confiscatory tributes are levied
on their nationals.
The State Department has made the
I usual mqu.r.v as to the tax. hut ofli
! t"il? are m the dark as to what action
' should be taken when complaints are
tiiade.^ It is said that one of the dlfll
jcultles in the minds of American dlplo
i mats is that the decree does not "dlg
j criminate" against Americans, and that
' lor that reason, it would be difficult to
; frame a protest. The department, how
i ever, says it is giving the matter Its at
, tention. There seems to be no doubt
j that as soon as the decree and its terms
? are known officially to the embassies
? and legations at Washington, Inquiries
j will be made of this government as to
' what its attitude will be.
The Carranza agency issued a state
i rnenl to-day to the effect that the Morn
j Castle of the New York. Havana and
J Mexican line, v."ill be allowed to call at
; Progresso, Yucatan. That port has re
j eently been dosed by Carranza because
? of the revolution there against Uov?
I eernor Santos of the state of Yucatan.
The agency also gave out various
i dispatches from Constitutionalist geti
j era Is in Mexico. It Is stated that <iov
' ernor Maytorena has left Nog a les with
I ",000 troops for llcrtnoslllo to oppose
? Seneral Iturblde in Sonora. It is stilted
that the troops of Villa in Northern
Sonora have become demoralized.
The Yaqui Indians are reported to
have mutinied against Maytorena and
killed thirty-four men and four officers.
A dispatch to the agency says that Mon

and it whs decided to request that
Secretary Newton should come to Hich- j
tnond to make a personal investigation
and to hear argument. The hearing
was conducted In the Federal Kuilditig.
ami both shies gnve complete airing to
their views. Secretary Newton gave
no hint ns to what disposition lie would
make of the case, but it was generally
believed by those most conversant with
the policies of the Post-Office Depart
ment and the Treasury Department
that lie would abide by the decision of
the experts who first Inspected the
Hlair property.
It will be a great disappointment to
those who opposed the selection of the
Plair property that tbe appropriation
will not be available for the purchase'
of another site, as they had been led
to believe that no obstacle would l>e
placed In tlie way of having the bill
amended so that the money could be
applied to the purchase of any other
property. It Is said, however, that it
is a fixed policy of the Treasury De
partment to erect buildings near to
union stations, so as to avoid long
hauls and the expense of employing ad
ditional carriers and buying motor
trucks.,
Air. Thornton said yesterday after
noon that he had not heard front Secre
tary Newton. He did, however, expect
an early reply, and hoped, if the de
cision should be against the Hlnlr
property, that there would be no dif
ficulty in having Congress amend the
appropriation bill so that some other
site could lie purchased and the money
be immediately expended in Richmond.
