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

MUSI PAY FEDERAL
Delinquent Corporations and
Liquor Dealers Facing Se
vere Penalty Now.
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

oke Hospital suffering from a pistol j
bullet wound in his groin, and Lewis

having inflicted the wound.
The shooting occurred in the store <
of Schlossberg Brothers, about 1 o'clock t
and so far as can be learned there were ;
no eyewitnesses Simon used a single j
shot, ,22-ealibre pistol, and physicians j
are of the opinion that the would is |
not serious.
Little could be learned of the cause j
of th<5 trouble. It is said at Schloss- i
! berg's store that Simon was In the place j
I two or three times looking for Kahn
to-day. Simon's place of business is ,
directly opposite Sehlossberg's store.
j The shooting occurred while Mr.
Schlossberg was out for lunch,

gave information to the visiting Simon
that was not wholly favorable to Lewis
Simon's conduct here, and that the
shooting grew out of words between i
: Simon and Kahn in this connection.

U oo-hvanl, one of the two nominees
for the House of Delegates.
Messrs. Robertson and Woodward *
j-.tiI their acceptance was uncertain,
hut it was believed that both would
finally yield to the insistence of their
fi i- fuls and become the nominees for
the positions to which they were
unanimously named. Hoth said they
greatly appreciated the compliment
given th-.-in.

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. M by \V. Frank Rob
ertson. chairman of the executive
committee of the Citizens' party, which
named the nominating committee.
James E Klllott was named as per
manent chairman of the convention,
I and presided throughout. L. B. Cox
was named as permanent secretary,
I after Attorney H R. G Gait had de
clined to serve Edward Brocken
I borough was temporary secretary.
I H. J Williamson. J. II. Kegebein, D.

F. H. Holland. Otto Prepinet, J.

It was dccided that the nominations
would be made by two ballots under
the two-thirds rule, and then under
majority rule, the lowest candulato to
be dropped
