ROLLING STOCK
BILL DEFECTIVE
(Continued From First Page.)
ate, which had Just passed a bill pro?
viding for a 60 and 40 per cent, dlvls-'
I ion of the rolling stock tax, and the;
House, which had decided to ratify lt. i
Tho substitute for Senate bill No. 1
prepared by the Senate Committee on
Roads and Internal Navigation pro- 1
vlded for a division which would
hove given the home ofllco cities 40
per cent., and tho counties 60 per cent.,
of tho tax. Tho substitute passed the
Ser.ato. but was rejected, by the House.1
A conference committee was appoint?
ed consisting of Senators Holt, Hart
and West, and Delegates Williams,
Watt9 and Throckmorton. \
The committee adopted tho S^nato
substitute, tho opening paragraph of
which contained tho Important passage
which is now missing from tho law.
The only change made In the Senate
substitute by the conference commit?
tee, was the substitution of 75 and 1" 3 ,
per cent, for the 60 and 40 per cent. ?
provision. Another seotion was added
giving n city the right to enjoy the
taxes on the rolling stock of electric
railway companies within their limits,
whether eucii cities contain the home
ofTlco3 of tho railway companies or:
not.
It Is Colonel Anderson's theory that!
the missing passage was lost when tho
clerk of th<> coiif-rence committee un-;
ncrtook to transcribe the amended
Senate substitute before .submitting It
to th? two Houses for dual ratification.;
In this defective form it was later sj?nt
to tho enrolling room and later Incor?
porated in tho acts of 1912.
Richmond to Levy I anul Tax.
"In view of this defect in the law,"
sp.td Colonel Anderson, "tho city of
P.-lchmond will proceed to levy the roll?
ing stock tax in tho usual manner, just
as if no new law had oeen psssed. It
was our purpose from tho beginning
to abide by tho 25 and 75 per cent,
division agreed upon by tho compro
rr.ifo. although wo have always per?
sisted In the belief that th? law Is un?
constitutional isincn It provided for
more than ono rato of taxation on
Identically the same class of property.
Under the law as It now Btands, U Is
extremely doubtful If the railroads cam
be made to pay any roiling stock tax
at all. It provides no authority to
levy it- If tho now law Is declared
Unconstitutional, then, of course, the
common law provision w'll go Into
force at once, and the tax will bo lev
led as it haa been heretofore."
Failure of the courts to uphold the
law would mean the saving to the city
of Richmond of more thai! $100.000 in
revenues annuilly. A like saving would
be mado to Roanoke, to whtcli the!
""100,000 la a relatively larger item.;
PotorBburg would enjoy $25,000, which
would under tho new law bo distri?
buted between a numbor of counties.
Benefits in a smaller amount would bo
enjoyed by Norfolk, Danville. Harris
burg, Winchester. Bristol, Alcxandr'a.
Franklin. Frederleksburg, Marlon and
a number of other towns nnd counties.

ANOTHER MARRIAGE
IN BATTLE ABBEY
Miss Grace Will Wed Captain
of Hussars in Famous
Building.
LA M Ainu ISB in: KO.M ENOV.
BATTLE ABBEY, built by William
the Conqueror. ,mii richly e>l
dowed In order that the monks
Bhouhl perpetually j>ray tor the
souls uf those Norman knights who
tell .it the battle of Hastings. Is about
to bu the sceiiM of another of those
.Anglo-American marluges that have
become so frequent since the day when
the abbey was acquired on a long lease
by Michael }'. Grace, of New Voik.
from its then owner, Captain forest? r.
Mr. Grace's youngest daughter, Gladys,
Is about to wed Captain Hamilton
<:iu>.. of the lath. Hussars, thus fol?
lowing the example of several of her
sisters, notably Helena, who became,
the wife of the Earl of Donoughmore.
Battle Abbey remained In the pos?
session of the monks from the eleventh
century until the reign of Henry viii.,
who expelled the reverend tiilliers, and
presented the edifice and itu lands
to his favorite, Sir Anthony Browne,
Master of the Horse, and "Knight of
the Garter. The story goes tlut Sir
Anthony was Celebrating his house
warming In the Abbot's hull, when a
monk suddenly appeared, no one knew
whence, and pronounced a solem male?
diction upon the spoliator of the
church. He warned Sir Anthony thut
the curse would cling to his moat re?
mote posterity, and foretold the special
doom that was to be their temporal
punishment. "By tire and water." ho
cried, "your Hue shall come to an
end, and perish Out of the land."
So continuous Were the misfortunes
that pursued the Browne family, that
in order to escape the curs.j they sold |
B?ttie Abbey, in 1719, to Sir Thomas
We '-ter. an alderman and cloth mer?
chant of the city of London. The
Brownes removed to Cowdray Bark, a
few miles away, but became extinct
through the death of tho eighth and
last of the Browne Lords. Montagu,
by drowning In the Rhine, about a
hundred years ago. On the same day
his two nephews, tJio sons of his
sister, the Hon. Mrs. Stephen PoyntZ,
were drowned In the sea at Bognor,
befote her eyes. Still on the same day.
Cowdray CoBtle wus almost totally de?
stroyed by fire; so that the monk's
curse seemed to have borne fruit.
The castle wus again burned during1
its subsequent possession by the lute
Earl of Egmont, on which occasion the
huge sword of William the Conqueror,
brought thither from Battle Abbey by
the Brownes, disappeared in the Harnes,
Rebuilt. It Is now the home of the
fc-rent contractor. Weetmstn Pearson. I
who has so many Interests In the
Tinted States and Mexico, and who,:
Whin raised to tho peerage two years
ago. chose as his title that of Lord ,
Cowdray.
One of the most famous of the Web?
ster chatelaines of Battle Abbey, was
Miss Elizabeth Vassall, a native of
Massachusetts, born in the house which
afterwards became the home of Long?
fellow, ami who Inherited a very large
fortune from nn undo In Jamaica.

lA curious question has arisen in
England in connection with the pro?
motion of the Attorney-General, Sir
ltulus Isaacs, to n scat in the cabinet,
a preferment wlthoUt precedent, at any
rate in modern times. The Attorney.?
General receives a salary of Jb'.OOO a
; ? ii, and Is allowed to continue Ills
private practice of law, so that what
with one thing and another, his annual
income' usually amounts to between
$100,000 and $150.000. Indeed, the
position, with its emoluments and op?
portunities, Inus always been regarded
as one of the most lucrative In the
gift of the crown. The Attorney-Gen?
eral, moreover. Is regarded as the lead?
er of the English bur.
Now the successive cabinets during
'the last ten years have usually In?
cluded sumo lawyer of more or less
eminence, who have by a sort of un?
written law, been compelled to aban?
don their private practice wiillo In of?
fice?a rule, by the by, which Is in force
In other European countries, notably
In France, where the present Premier,
M. Polncare', was obliged to sacrifice
his Immensely valuable legal business
?the largest In France?when he be?
came premier with a salary of $10,000
a year.
It Is nrgued thnt If Sir BufllS Isaacs,
now tVittt he Is In tlie cabinet, Is al?
lowed to continue his prlvato prac?
tice, there is no reason why Premier
AtTfqulth, Secretary for Ireland Hlrrell.
and Secretary for the Home Depart?
ment McKenna, etc., should not be per?
mitted to do likewise. It would. In
fact, be setting a precedent dangerous
to tho State.
On the other hand. In England tho
Attorney-General exercises in somo re?
spects Judlcinl prerogatives even more
Important than llio.s,, of the Lord High
Chancellor. Thus, when 0 man tr'ed
for his life and convicted, alleges
that there Is an error on the record,
he cannot take advantage of that error
unless he obtains the fiat of the At
tjrney-Gcneral, and the same permis?
sion must be secured before any man
Can present his claim to a peerage be?
fore the Committee of Privileges or
the House of Lords. Moreover, (he At?
torney-General has the power in crim?
inal cases of entering a "nolle prose
qul." or prohibition to prosecute. Over
these and other prerogatives equally
Important, no court In tho realm has
anv control or Jurisdiction.
Is It therefore advisable thnt an of?
ficial of lUCh vast Judicial powers
should, as a member of the cabinet.
r,e exposed to the suspicion di b.ilnS
swayed by political considerations?
