ted plot whereby Mr.. Tallant, hus-
band of the accused woman, was run
away from home and Jones was duly
installed as master of the household.
The two, it is alleged, have been liv-
ing together for about three months
as man and wife without the sanction
of the law, much against the peace OF
the community and the good Of So
ciety. The injured husband filed the
complaint which caused the arrest.
The woman has a babe f0ur-months-
old in her arms.
They had their trial today before

their name by the clerks in the Tax
Department.
Hundreds of writs Of certiorari were
obtained in the courts by persons who
e aim that their assessment Is excessive.
The amount involved ID between $50 900, 900
and $40, 900, which would AFFECT the tax
rate considerably should the city lose
the cases. but as matter of fact few
Of the suits are ever brought to trial.
The writs must be obtained within the
hfteen days during which the books are
open. and many of them are sworn out
merely to give the persons a standing in
court in case they decide to press their
suits.
After the Finance Committee reports
the tax rate in August, the books will
be turned over again TO the Tax De-
partment II have them extended. which
is the technical expression for writing
the amount each taxpayer has to pay
