ARGUE LIBEL SUIT
IN HIGHER COURT
Record of Clyde Saundcis Dis?
cussed on Appeal From
Damage Case. I
Numerous political oventa in the his- |
Lory of Richmond were rohcaracd yes- ?
lerday before the Supreme Court of |
Appeals In the argument of the ap?
peal of the Williams Printing Com?
pany and A. A. Voder against Clyde
\y. Sauuders. Charloa V. Meredith
spoke for Ihr plaintiffs In error, but
had not concluded his rcmarka when
court adjourned for tho day. Roberl E.
Scott and David II. Lcakc will repre?
sent the defendant In error to-day.
In the lower court, Saunders teas
given damages for libel In the*sum of
$1.600 against the printing concern
and against the editor of n pamphl -t.
formerly issued in Richmond and
printed by the Williams company. This
pamphlet at times contained articles
reflecting on Clyde W. Saunders its
Ihe boss of Richmond, charging; linn
with being a business part nor >>i n
policy king, ami Intimating something j
about Ihe purchase of votes In Rich- |
inond and Manchester. Tho printers, j
It was stated, wer.- fully cognisant of
the nature of, 'the matt rial before il
was issued.. .? . ""'
* " ' " ? ?tniflnied" rilxIl^K**.' ..... v ,
Mr. Meredith contended that Ihe
matter published was privR ijjed be?
cause of Ihe fact that Sau'ideri was
then a candidate for office?as si uvm- ,
ber of the City Democratic Co.n'r.itteo
from Clay Ward. He also commented
on the part of the evidence :i\ the
lower court which connect id founders
v.ilh the granting of a franchise
the Reil Telephone Company, nnd in
which li appeared thai he ita I been
in Id $1,000 for his Influence brfiii-u
he had even step the franchise. |
Further Mr. Meredith argued thai It1
bad been shown that Haundorf) told
Williams .that he made more money out
of politics than out of ills (Sauniiers's)
own printing business, lie asked for
a reversal and a now trial of the
case.

by many citizens.
it appeared that the .second marriage |

the decree bad been granted, and that |
he was free. He married again, after i
having been .separated from bis wife ;
for live years. The latter learned the j
facts, and Walker was arrested and j

The man made no defense, simply j
going on the stand and relating the
facts to the court. Under what he i
says was an agreement, lie was given
the minimum sentence, and secured |
a general approval of hin petition for i

BIG TAX INCREASE
New Assessment figures show l.nrsre I
ftula in Valuations*.
Complete assessment returns- from
the entire State save for the mlpcr.il
land returns In Buchanan (1910 figures
being used in this Instance), show a
remarkable gain In values for the past
year. The total increase is $21,172,089.
which will net in taxation $71.102.31
more money to the State alone, not I
counting counties and cities.
Real estate values have grown from
$176,0.^.320 In l&lb to $436,339,373 in
1911. The 1910 figures Kiv.-n are f.ir
the new realty assessment cd'last year, I
which did go into effect until this S
year, the increase for the one year
representing the new buildings.
Mineral land values grow, according
to the Auditor's books, from $19,097.
B02 In 1910. to $2?.<>7S.r,S2 In 1911. I?
is evident thai the Rtlclianan returns
contain many defective titles, so the
assessments of lust year will be used.
In standing limber there is r re?
duction, from $2,085,926, to $1,998,562.
The total for real estate last year, in?
cluding mineral land and standing, i
timber, was $496,708,384. Thi- year it
is $516,416,517, an Increase of $9,643,

In persona! property, there Is a sub?

Under a decision of the War De-J

Business Men Invited to LJass on
Question of New Govern?
ment. Scheme.
HOLD MEETING NEXT WEEK
Directors Want Full Discussion
as to Better Municipal
System.
Directors of the Business Men's Club
have decided to call u general meeting
of the elu0 membership for next week,
at which time thu resolutions recently
adopted by the Chamber of Commerce.
Indorsing the special committee's re?
port on changes In municipal govern?
ment will be discussed. The Idea of
the directors Is to have the club In?
dorse the plan If its members so de?
termine after a full and comprehen?
sive discussion on the Moor. Members
of the committee and Councilman wlil
be Invited und there will be social
and refreshment features In addition
to the work on the program.
The action of the chamber in ap?
proving the scheme for a more simpli?
fied form of government has been of |
eonslderablo help to tho pioneers In
the movement, convinced now Hint it
is absolutely essential to give the city
an up-to-date system.
\\ anis People to Unite.
The Business Men's Club feels tho
responsibility, and the directors, who ,
have given the matter careful sludr. |
believe that the people should unite in |
helping the Council to put tin; city's
affairs on a modern business basis. j
In the discussion heretofore there has
been no bint of wrong-doing, no sug?
gestion of Kraft or Incompetency, ui
Ihough citizens generally admit tli.it
ltlehmond has outgroWn the present
scheine, and that something must be
done to Improve conditions.
While the matter, of course, has not |
been finally decided by the Council, j
the leading members of the two j
brunches are heartily in favor of the
change. They are especially anxious
lo reduce the membership, and several
of those who would he. voted out of |
ofllce have warmly supported tho< plan
regardless of the effect It will "fluvo |
on them personally. The educational
campaign has aroused the people to
the necessity of action, and It Is
claimed that if nothing else Is ac?
complished the number of wards will
be reduced to four.

MORMON CHOIR
AT WHITE HOOSE
President Entertained Singers
Wild Will Appear at Audi?
torium To-Night.
MAYOR RECEIVES PROTEST
Refuses.. However, to Stop Per?
formance Because He Is With?
out Authority.
Mayor Richardson was asked yester?
day to prohibit the concert by the
Mormon Tabernacle choir at the City
Auditorium to-night on the ground
that the organization was traveling
over the country to spread Its propa?
ganda, a petition was presented, signed
by members of the faculty and students
of Union Theological Seminary, but
the Mayor courteously replied that be
hail no authority to stop the perform?
ance.
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir is one
of the best known musical organiza?
tions in the country, but whllo Mayor
Richardson was talking with tho pe?
titioners he did not know thai It had
been Invited by the President and Mrs.
Taft to give M concert at the White
Mouse. In Washington, lust night. W.
I* Rndcllffe, formerly of Richmond,
who is bringing the musicians here
to-night In a special train, naturally
points with prldy to the fuct that the
President would not have issued the
invitation had he suspected that the
choir was traveling with ulterior mo- i
tlves. Moreover. n,e protest yester
day served eloquently as an advertise,
ment. although this was hardly needed, |
as the indications are that the biggest
audience of the Auditorium season
will groct the performers to-night. !
Calls It Absurd.
Mr. Radcltfte sent the following to
The Times-Dispatch from Washing?
ton lust night in regard to the attack
on his choir:
"The statement that the Mormon .
Tabernacle Choir Is a propagandist
agency is absurd. To-night they are
giving a concert at the White House.'
on invitation of the President and Mrs. j
Taft. The concert given at the Colum?
bia Theatre this afternoon was an
ovation for the singers. Tho choir
icav. s at midnight on a special train j
for Richmond,
"l am giving the people of Richmond
to-morrow night one of the greatest
musical treats tltey have ever had ?
simply that and nothing more. It Is I
costing considerably over J2,ono to do it.
There will be 250 In tho party, und
they are all Mormons. The object ol
the trip East was to sing at the Inter?
national Irrigation and Land Exhibi?
tion at Madison Square Garden, .New
Vork City. November 2 to 11.
"It was possible for the choir to j
visit ten cities en route homo to Salt
Lake City, and 1 succeeded In securing;
one of these nights for Richmond. Ii
know my efforts In so doing will be j
appreciate.] by every lover of good
music who attends the concert to?
morrow night.
"W. U RADCLIPEE."
Following Is the document presented
to Mayor Richardson:
"The Mormon Choir is coming Into
this city. That choir is a propagan?
dist agency, and has toured the country
for years, and Is doubtless visiting thlr>
City With stich an end in view. Wheth?
er intended to servo such a purpose
or not. It Is In fact going to do so us
surely as it behaves itself with any
decorum. It will propitiate favor fori
Mormonlsm with the uninformed and'
thoughtless. The Mormon hierarchy
would not permit the choir to tour the '.
country unless they were sure of It i
currying favor with a percentage of)
the population. The coming of this,
choir will make the work of every i
unctuous Mormon missionary easier,
opening access for him,
"We appeal to the peopi.- <,f Rich?
mond, even at this late date, especially
to the people of character, riot to hear
this Mormon agency perform, and thus
to minimize and disparage the influence
of thn Mormon propaganda. We doubl
not that the choir will sing very well?
nor that It contains persons very dei'o- ?
rous from a Mormon point of view, but \
In giving them encouragement you in- j
ovltably play into the hands of the]
Mormon Church. You aid in Its main- |
tonance and encourage Its ideals and
the advancement of Its peculiar Institu?
tions.
"You are n hospitable people. Hoa- |
pitality should be regulated by re- I
gard for good morals. You love fine
music. Give up lino music rather than I
lend your fellowman toward Standards
of Joseph Smith. Your homes will be
invaded within a short time by tho
agents of the Salt I^ake organization.
Many persons In this city have ul- j
ready repulsed or succumbed to the i
efforts of these agents of the Mor
mon Church.
"We might base our appeal on
grounds of refinement, culture or |
broad Christianity. We make our ap- I
poul to-day. however, simply on I
grounds of regard for decent morals |
and patriotism. The Mormon Church j
would to-day, if it could, spread pplyg-l
amy over the United States and the!
world. It glories. If secretly, In this
end.
