Crowd at Country Place.
Mr. Jones counted more than inn
i ? rsons lit Bachelor's Hall, In l'lttsyi
vanla, on Tuesday, although there Is
no town there. lie found that the
audience paid especial attention .to the
address of Eugene Withers, who pre?
ceded Mm and dealt laainly with the
nerd of Senator Swanson. Mr.
Withers told his hearers, most of
whom are tobacco growers, of the
tjiowi r and relentless grip of the to?
bacco trust, and of how It fixed tho
price of their product and closed tho
factories of Southside Virginia. Then
he called attention to Senator Swan
son's purchase of the slock of this
trust and of the opportunities he had
to vote so as to make his Investment
more profitable.
Mr. Jones said that the people who
beard Mr. Withers were so much in?
terested In this that the criticisms he
himself made of Senator Martin were
overshadowed.
Since his speech at Louisa on Mon?
day of last week, Mr. Jones said, he
hay been especially eontldent of the
mccessful result ot his campaign.

MOVING PICTURES
Councilman Lynch Will Intro-j
duce Ordinance Excluding Chil
dren Under 14 Years of Age.
Actuated by recent condemnation of
moving picture shows for youns. peo?
ple. Councilman John J. lynch, at the
next meeting of the City Council, will
Introduce a resolution prohibiting chil?
dren under the nRe of fourteen years
from attending such performances un?
less at'ended by their parent* "r
guardians, and providing a line for its
violation. Following Is the text of
the ordinance.
"That It shnll be unlawful for any
owner or keeper Of a licensed moving
picture show or theatre; or other placo
where moving pictures are exhibited
for compensation, to admit to such
show or exhibition, any minor under
tin- age of fourteen years, unless, ac?
companied by its parent or guard
Ian.
"Fvery person violating the provis?
ions of this ordinnnce shall l?- liable
to a line of not less ihan fl'> nor more
than for each offense, recoverable
before the Police Justice of the city
of Richmond."
Undoubtedly, there will be great op-;
position to the ordinance from those
Interested In moving picture shows,
many of which are scattered through
the city. On the other hand, however,
much complaint has been made <>f the
alleged evils of such amusements, and]
Mr. Lynch believes that his ordinance
will become a law.

Including the people who met Sen?
ator Martin at 15Iba Station at 7:16.
thos.> who lined up at street cornel's

Called on for Speech.
After sevural shouts had gone up
from the enthusiasts in the crowd,
and scores of people hud pi issed for?
ward to shake Senator Martin's hand. I
there were calls for a Speech. Stand- !
ing in the carriage, the Senator sind:
"1 am profoundly grateful for this
manifestation of your continued confi?
dence and support. Assailed from tho
rear by the tongue n| mttUce, falsehood
and slander, while endeavoring to dis?
charge the duties of the high und re?
sponsible posllli n entrusted to me, I
bevor doubted tho justice und sense of
fairness Of the Virginia people. When
assailed and when my motives were
Impugned for refusing to abandon my
post of duty, I was able to pursue the
even tenor of p.y way without alarm
or anxiety as to what Hie result would
be.
"If 1 needed any other reward than
the consciousness of rectitude and fidel?
ity to duty. I would rind It In the mag?
nificent greeting you have extended
to me to-night on my return from the
laborious duties of a long session of
Congress to take up the work of my
campaign. The session Is ended; ad?
journment was reached on Tuesday, and
I will lind an early occasion to pay my
respecla to the slanders circulated
throughout lh< St..te for several
months past.
"My felldw citizens, 1 thank you from
the bottom of my henrt for the. greet?
ing you have given me."

APphtlng from the carriage, the
Senator was occupied for some time In
shaking hands with those who crowded
about him Iii the hotel lobby After
securing supper he went to headquar?

of callers until a late hour.
Mr. Flood wIP be in active t barge
of headquarters and of the campaign

Ferguson, who has been In charge, who
has been attending the fuenral of a

Mr Flood said that the only speech
so far arranged for Senator Martin,
aside from his address at the Academy
..f Music on Monday night. Is one
which he will deliver at a barbecue t-j
be given In his interest at Arlington,

opposition to him.
Mnrtln in ConKress.
"The extra session Of Congress which
has Just ended," said Mr. Ylood lust
night, "will be of great assistance to
the Democratic party In the nation.
Jn that session Senator Martin became
the leading figure. Splendid work was
tlone by the House of Representatives,
but Mr. Underwood and the other lead?
ers there had with them a united and
enthusiastic majority. Senator Mar?
tin, on the other hand, became the
leader of a divided minority. He has
welded It into a compact body, called
to its aid the Progressive Republicans.'
and has secured the passage of every
bill sent to the Senate by the House,
in tho face of a Republican majority,
When the conferences were held as to
these measures. It was the usual
course to have them end with the de-!
cislon to leave u io Martin. Me oc?

HEALTH WORKERS
STILL IN FIGHT
Care of Patients Forced to Leave
Catawba Sanatorium Is
Serious Problem.
While confident that the people of
the Commonwealth will support health
workers in the present crisis In tuber?
culosis work, officers of the State
Health Department and of the .State
Antl-Tuberculosls Association are seri?
ously concerned over the difficulties
encountered In securing suitable
homes for patients leaving the Ca?
tawba. Sanatorium.
In obedience to the rule adoptod by
the State Hoard of Health, limiting the
slay of patients at Catawba to six
months, many patients have left the
sanatorium und have scattered to
their homes. The State AtUI-Tuber
culosis Association is making every
effort to secure proper resorts for
these patients, but Is met at every
turn by obstructions which delay the
work.
The Catawba Heller Association,
which Is raising money to erect build?
ings for tht; treatment of those com?
pelled to leave the sanatorium, re?
ports the receipt of many donations,
but its officers have notilled the Health
Department that at least Jti.ooo addi?
tional must be forthcoming before
enough money will be In hand to
care for the patients who otherwise
have no proper place for treatment.
Health authorities here are co-oper
atlng with the Catawba Relief Asso?
ciation and are urging all to contrib?
ute to its support. All aie agreed
that a more worthy cause has never
been presented to the people of the
State.
New patients tire reported arriving
daily at the sanatorium to take the
place of those who have left under the
the six months' rule. The waiting list
is almost exhausted, and the Health
Commissioner yesterday Issued notice
that new applications would receive
early attention. Prospective patients
are Urged to make immediate implica?

TEXASTO PRESENT
HOUSTON PICTURE
Portrait to Be Given to Virginia
With Appropriate Cere?
monies.
Out of respect to the State which
gave to Texas her greatest citizen,
the Legislature of the Lone Star State
yesterday voted to present a life
sized portrait of General Sam Hous
tcn to the Commonwealth of Virginia.
The resolution was adopted In the
Texas Senate by unanimous vote.
The portrait, which hangs In the
Senate chamber at Austin, Is regarded
as h splendid and valuable likeness.
It will be transferred to the Capitol
Of Virginia with lilting ceremonies. A
deputation will travel to Richmond to
make the presentation, probably head?
ed by the Governor, and arrangements
will be made here to have a suitable
reception for the visitors upon the oc?
casion of the presentation.
General lloupton. whose life story Is
as absorbing as n novel, was born In
Virginia. He was the hero of the
battle of San Jactnto, and his encoun?
ters with General Santa Annn are still
remembered by the people of Texas.
He was twice president of the repub?
lic which was formed prior to annex
atlon to the Cnlted Slates.
OFFICIALS MUST
SETTLE MONTHLY
County and City Treasurers to
Hereafter Make Prompt
Payment to State.
WILL PREVENT ALL DELAYS
Crowds Attend Institutes and
Ask Speakers to Lome
Again.
In order to place the funds of th"
State where they belong?In the treas?
ury?and to guard against possible
losses by defalcation or bank fail?
ures, State Auditor S. It. Donohoe to?
day inaugurates a new plan of pro?
cedure. He will hereafter require all
city and county treasurers to settle
on the tirat day 01 euch month, In?
stead of keeping the tunds in their
own hands until the time cornea for
tile regular balancing o( accounts.
Letters addressed to each local
treasurer in Virginia will ue sent
out to-day by Cuplain Donohoe, in
which lie announces that he will avail
himself 01 the privilege given him un?
der tiie law. to begin the now deal
at once, he requires each olhcial to
make full settlement of nil Slate funds
in his hands by September 1,
Sontetliuca Causes Trouble.
No reuson exists, in the view of the
Slate Auditor, whj the elty and coun?
ty treasurers should hold lunus which
belong in the Stale Treasury in their
own hands. While defalcations on tho
part of local ottlcers have been very
few, there is h temptation to handle
this money for the treasurer's own
purposes, with the Intention pi repay?
ing It when the. lime comes for set?
tlement. The history of llnanclul
trusts Is that some of these repay?
ments cannot be made when the day
of reckoning arrives. Again, more or
less State money has been lied up be?
cause of local bank failure..-. Which
have caused lcgul proceedings and de?
lays in payments, which would have
been avoided in great measure had
monthly settlements been required.
By this means the State, und not
the treasurer, will have tho use of
the public funds.
Auditor Donohoe hus ample means
to enforce his ruin but does nut ex?
pect to 0e cullod upon to exercise tho
penalty, since he believes all the
treasurers will settle regularly and
promptly. Commissions are forfeited
when settlements are not made ac?
cording to law, and In addition the
treasurer is charged inteicst at the
rate of 15 pur cent, a year on all
amounts delayed in forwarding.
Cguotea Statute.
. The law on the subject, quoted by
the Auditor In his letler to the treas?
urers, Is as follows:
. "The Auditor of Public Accounts
msy call upon any county or city
treasurer once in every thirty duyg
after the llrst day of July of euch
year for a settlement, under oath, of
the amount of State taxes collected bj
him, and such treasurer shall, within
live days ufter the receipt of such call,
forward sucli statement to the Audi?
tor and pay Into the treasury the
amount collected. If any treasurer
fall to make any statement required by
this section, or to pay over or account
for the amount due, as shown by sal 1
Statement, within the time prescribed,
lie shall forfeit his commissions on all
?ums that should have been or were
unbraced in sucli statement."
Blank statements are required to be
Stade, and are sworn to, so that there
:an be no mistake about th<- amount
lue.
In addition to the forfeiture of com?
missions, as stated In the foregoing
.aw. "every treasurer who docs not
?ay the revenue Into the treasury ai
the time prescribed by law, shall be
.?harged with interest thereon at tho
/ate of 15 per cent, per annum from,
the time the same was so payable."
Crowd* Attend Meetings.
Letters received at the Department
of Agriculture from Institute Director
J. J. Owen Indicate that large crowds
are attending the series of farmers' In?
stitutes. The speakers are given the
usual good attention, and In nearly

ing at the earliest convenience of the
department.
