Arnold Steps Out on Tuesday, and President Must Appoint New Deputy. . NEEDS MONTAGUE'S HELP Richmond Collectorship Abol ished and Norfolk Takes Command. With only two days' tenure of office remaining to Collector of Customs B. B. Arnold, and with no ofliclal word of his successor, th?-re is something more than an air of uncertainty appa lent in the force of the local custom house. Until a few days ago when Sec retary McAdoo surprised everybody by the announcement that deputy collec tors at ports reduced in rank under the reorganization scheme are to be appointed by the President, it was generally supposed that Special Dep uty W. G. Smith, who has served ef ficiently under Collector Arnold, would be named bv Collector Hughes, of Nor folk, to conduct the affairs of the Rich mond custom-house. The warning issued by Secretary Mc Adoo not only means that President Wilson will have to make the appoint ment of th?- Ri< hmond special deputy at the suggestion of Congressman Montague. l?ut <arties a strong possi bility that the designation of Hughes by Secretary McAdoo as collector of the new district of Virginia may not stand, and that the President will name a collector of Congressman Holland's selection It is probable, though not at all certain, that Secretary McAdoo's appointment of Hughes as the new collector will be confirmed by Presi dent Wilson, but the uncertainty-sur rounding the identity of the 'ranking officer of the district is adding to the unrest in the Richmond office. \o .Notice (ilven. The lack of tidings from Washington j is taken here to mean that Congress man Montague has not made his selec tion of the special deputy to direct the affaire of the local customs-house un der the supervision of Norfolk, and this fact does not tend to allay the excite ment Regardless of wliethei or not his successoi is appointed to-day or Monday or not at all. Collector Arnold will automatically ielinrjuish the of fice on Tuesday, unless special instruc tions come from Washington for him to continue in command until further notice As a matter of fact, failing formal in- I rtiuctions from Washington. Special' I.>6put;. Smith will take charge of the j lecal office, as usual in the absence of : the collector, when Tuesday comes j around and Mr Arnold walks out N" entanglement or hitch in the collecting of customs is anticipated even in the! ? vent the officials in the Capitol over - I look the fart that no one has been de signated to step into Mr. Arnold's i?hoes. and the routine of the office will to on as usual, except for the sending <jf daily reports to the Norfolk office, ? until the presidential appointee comes t' take hold of the work Even gossip of the man to be placed it command here is lacking, and ab- 1 .-olutelv no indication of the new spe cial deputy collector's identity has been j given Some are of the opinion that Special Deputj Smith will receive Con-' pressman Montague's indorsement, but Mr. Smith does not confess himself to lie of this number The reorganization of the customs service by which IIP. collectorships of cuMom are abolished and their duties ?onsolidated with forty-nine head ports, j will go into effect July l, despite ef- , forts on the part of Secretary McAdoo; and the Senate to delay it until Jan uary 1.

Collector of Internal Revenue M. K. Lowry calls the attention of Federal taxpayers to the fact that all special taxes and the United States corpora tion Income tax must be paid before Monday night. June 30. or the heavy penalty prescribed by law will be au tomatically affixed to the amount of the delinquent tax As is usual, there has 1 been a rush In the last few days to settle the Federal taxes before the ex piration of the time limit, and the J cashier's office force has been kept ' working' overtime While the law states that the taxes must be paid before July 1. Collector ijowry has attempt-<1 this year to im press the Pt-al time liipit on the minds of the taxpayers in a more forcible manner by giving notice that all taxes must be settled on or before June 30. By this he would have the corpora- j tions and excise taxpayers know that taxes paid on July 1 will only be re reived with the penalty attached. For failure to pay the special excise tax on "i before June 30. the Federal government adds a penalty of 50 per cent. Wholesale and retail liquor dealers and wholesale and r?-tail olco margarine dealers aie among the most numerous of the excise taxpay ers. A penalty of 5 per >6111 of the amount of the tax in added for failure to pay the corporation tax on Monday The majority of the corporations and the bulk of the liquor dealers have complied with the requirements and have settled the tax bills against t htm AMIL.AXD MOWS NOTES.

Tilton. l ot House of Delegates?Candidates yet to be named. It was said to-day that a third ticket is possible if not probable, to be put in the field by the Bull Moose j Progressive Republicans. It was said that the Norfolk Progressives want a I maintenance of their organization and j want a vote upon which to base rep resentation in connection with conven ! tions To this end. it is said that Hull t Jloo!,e candidates for the Legislature ar.j most certain to be put in the field in "he Xovoinhei* election if a full Hcket lor city positions is not named. Die prospects, however, .seemed to be for a full ticket. : The Progressives, it was said to-day, would have under certain conditions j given their indorsement to the Citi zens' ticket had the legislative nomi nations been left open and they been | permitted to name these candidates. I Frank C. Miller, who was originally mentioned as a possible nominee for Commonwealth's attorney on the Cit izens party ticket, was not considered j last night because he scratched that . portion of the candidates' pledge which I said: "I further pledge myself to abide by . the decision of this convention and to support its nominees." Mr. Miller said to-dny he was not approached until 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon on the subject of subscrib ing to a candidate's pledge; that align ments had then all been made and that to have signed the pledge as pre sented to him. at the late hour It came would simply have been signing an agreement to step down and out from the rnce for the position for which he had announced himself. Mr. Miller said: "I declined to pledge myself to the support of an unknown ticket under the rules adopted by the convention. ? 1 did pledge myself to the support o? j the platform of the Citizens' party. This, T think, was as far as any party had a right to bind me. The result was as 1 had anticipated from infor , mation before me. I am a candidate for Commonwealth's attorney, and ex pect to be upon the official ballot in November. I have no unkind feeling for the commit tee." Forty-seven of the forty-nine mem hers of the nominating committee were present at the Lynnhaven Hotel last night when the nominations were made. The convention was called to order at S:30 P.
