INSURANCE MEN
FOUGHT MEASURE
tSpeclal to The Richmond Virginian.)
NEWPORT NEWS, June 1«.—The
most sensational testimony in the
celebrated Insurance trial yesterdav
was that of Judge Martin Williams,
of title* county, representative in the
State legislature, who detailed his
experience in attempting to have the
Wharton bill re-enacted at the ses
sions of 1904 and 19os, He said
that the Insurance Interest* made
themaelvea particularly obnoxious to
th* members of the legislature at ,
that time. He stated that the rneas- ;
ure passed the house, after a atrenu- i
oue tight, and when it came up be
fore the Senate .committee on bank
ing and Insurance, of which Senator
Saxon W. Holt, of this city, wee chair
man, It was found that the measure
contained & Joker relating to some
fertlliber legislation.
Judge Williams testified that he !
had never seen so many lobbyists in
his Ills *a at the time the Insurance :
matter was up. Thf joker referred
to was discovered by him so late in
the session that It was impossible to
have the matter corrected. Senator
Holt also testified along the same j
line*. Sol Miller, W. E. Barrett. J. 1,. |
Patton and other local men were ex
amined.

NO DECISION REACHED
IN HAMILTON'S CASE
Believed Likely, However, That
Condemned Lynchburg* r Will
Mot (Jo to Electric Chair.
Governor Maun said Thursday that
he still had the case of Angelo Ham
ilton, sentenced to die in the electric
chair lYIday June lit, under adviee
ment. hut had reached no definite de
cision.
The chief executive had a talk with
John Armstrong, who witnessed the
killing of Mrs. Sallie Hicks, in Lynch
burg, Sunday night before leaving for
a three days trip to Harrisonburg and
Salem. Tne Governor made two ad
dresses in Harrlaonburg, but when ha
reached Salem he discovered that the
Roanoke College exercises at which he
was to have spoken, had been con
cluded before hia arrival.
Speaking of the Hamilton case, Gov
ernor Mann said he had received pe
titions from a number of the Jurors
who convicted the doomed man and
aleo from many cltlaens, but Common
wealth Attorney Robert Yancey oppos
ed commutation or pardon and Judge
Christian, who tried the case, made no
recommendation whatever.
It It believed probable that Hamil
ton will not die in the electric chair.

The measure was favorably report

DOG TAX SUBJECT
, OF SUIT AT LAW
fy -
County Trcasuref Heckler Will
Probably Await Order of Court
to Change Tax Slip?.
STATE OFFICER OBJECTS
Commissioner of Revenue Smith
Declares He Will Xot Make
Changes on His Books.
The method of collecting dog taxes
in Henrico has caused <|uitc a stir in
Henrico and those In dose touch with
the situation declare that there is
likely to be a disturbance o\er the
question before it is finally setled.
Commissioner of the Revenue, c. E.
Smith has taken a hand and expresses
hlntSelf rather freely concerning the
action of the supervisors in ordering
the county treasurer to place the dog
tax on th" personal property tax slips.
The commissioner was seen after the
meeting of the supervisors and after
stating that he would not talk for
publication he began to freely state his
views in the matter,
"Tlie county treasurer las no au
thority to make any entries on his per
sonal property books tliHt are not
taken from mj hooks, said Mr. bniith.
'“and I can say right now that there
will never be an}’ dog taxes entered
on my books'
When asked what he would do in
•case of a suit in the courts. Mr. Smith
said. "That "ill make no difference to
me. I am a state officer and niv books
are State books and I am out of the
JurUdlstioiT ef the court.'’
Treasurer in Quandery.
Count,' Treasuier Heckler is at a
loss how to proceed In the contin
gency that now faces him The su
pervisors agree that It is too late to
make the change now since many of
the tax bills have been paid. They
agree that the unpaid taxes shall be
collected by the constables htis year
but that next year the taxes shall all
be on one slip and be paid together.
In speaking of the matter Treas
ure'- Heckler inters that he will not
make the change unless forced to do so
by the court: he Interprets the law in
such af way that he does not fee! free
to put the taxes on the same slip with
out the order of the court.
It is evident that the matter will
have to be settled in court and prom
ises to be an intergating legal tight
with the supervisor* and conimon
j wealth's attorney on, the one side and
th<- county treasurer and commissioner
of the,revenue 0n the other.
The supervisors adopted the motion
to give the order to the treasurer af
ter receiving the advice of Attorney
Gt.nn that their step was legal Mr.
Gunn gdvi«ed them that he had re
ceivedo favorable advices from Judge
Scott.
Tin* Cause of It.
A promint nt member of the board
of supervisors, in speaking of the mat
ter declared that the matter of col
lecting dog taxes in the county has
been sadlj neglected, and that some
step waa absolutely necessary. The
supervisors believe that if all the
taxes are Included on one slip the tax
payers will come to the office and -set
tle up for each Item on the slip all
together, and that there will be m
further trouble. They say that th*
taxpayers object to being served wifi:
a Second slip after they think the}
have paid all their taxes
The county treasurer points out th*t
the dog tax is a license tax. and hu
no connection with the real estate,
personal property and capitation taxes.
He says the change will cause compli
cations in his accounting system and
will be generally unsatisfactory.
The treasurer says further that the
, dog .tax question !«. simple^••nmigb. and
ran easily be soiled if fKe con'stabb =
are made to do their duty In the way
of forcing the payment or killing the
1 dogs.
