there mixed with other boys until
after IL o'clock at night, when in
company with Charles Davenport

brother OF Charles, and John Pace
II years old, he started for Birds
eye. Walking in field John Pace
asked Tame for the pistol, and
talked OF buying it. Tame let hin
have it, but told him to be careful
as it was loaded and he might shoe
some one. Pace paid no attention
to the warning but threw his arm
over his shoulder and shot behint
him. The ball struck Chas. Daven
port in the right temple. He lived
about six hours afterwards. HI
was carried into the house Of Mar

A SENSATIONAL REPORT.
Leading Taxpayers of Illinois Declare
Is, Perjur,ra.

Leading Taxpayers Of Illinois Declare d
H. P~rjor,ra.
Springfield, ILL.,. Sept. 24.-The most
sensational report ever issued by n state
bureau was made public tonight by the
Illinois Bureau of Labor Statistics.
1t charges that the great majority Of
the wealthy taxpayers of Illinois. and
more especially OF Chicago, are per.
jurers; that the assessors are guilty or
malfeasance in office; that the present
financial condition of Chicago is directly
traceable to the corrupt system Of taxa
ton, and that the deplorable condition
of work Is due to the liberty destroying
methods to taxation which prevails In
Illinois.
The report is made up OF mass of
tables compiled from official reports of
assessors, banks, real estate transfers.
boards of equalization and the various
municipal departments to which the
agents Of the bureau had access. After
declaring that ut Is the purpose Of the
report to expose existing methods OF
taxation In Illinois, with special refer.
ence to their effect upon the labor Inter
est" the report proceeds to review the
work Of former bureaus. The stand Is
taken that 1t Is idle to dwell upon the
wages and condition Of the average
wage-earners of the state. The bureau
contends that the condition ais proved by
evidence so clear and abundant that the
compilation of any further statistics
would be wasted effort"
The bureau takes the position that tax.
alton Is the chief instrument Of tyranny.
