LARGE QUESTIONS IN TAXES
THEY ARE CONSIDERED BY THE
COUNTY EQUALIZERS

Gas Company Asks a Reduction, and
Large Mercantile Establishments
Ask That Their Returns Be Ac-
cepted without Amendment
For Time the Board VIII Be
Kept Busy.
The board Of equalization got to
point yesterday where there was some
thing to do besides moving that the as
SeSsment be the same as last year.
That is the formal and the tedious
part of the work. For the next few
days there will be nothing formal about
1t, for most of the time will be taken
up listening to people who propose to
give vent to large, able-bodied protests
about the iniuuities of taxation in gen
eral, and particularly in as far as it
affects them personally.
They began yesterday. The assess
ment of the Gas Light company was
taken UP. 1t took a good deal of
boosting last year to get the assess
ment of the company past the million
mark but it was finally brought up to
the very respectable sum of slips, 26S.
This sum was considerably in excess

pany started in with the proposition.
that it ought to be assessed at about
$3.50, S27. The assessor saw that and
raised the bet 800, 900, making that the
value of the franchise. Then the board
of equalization took a turn, and on
general principles made the assess
nent S1,172,S9S When it got to the
state board of equalization it was CIV
en- another boost, and finally placed at
the figure stated, 81, 215, 1868. The COM
pany kicked and went into the courts
over the proposition to charge them up
with back taxes on the franchise at a
valuation of $250,000.
This year the company made a re-
turn of $3S3,000. The assessor added
$250000 for the franchise, and 1t now
stands at $633, 900. The board of equal
ization has not yet had chance to
tilt the assessment, and E. A. Young, a
stockholder in the company, appeared
before the board yesterday morning to
protest not only against an increase,
but against the present figures.
Mr. Young said that the company
was not paying dividends; that the
competition of private lighting plants
had cut off its revenues largely, and
that the franchise was not a taxable
asset. He thought that a valuation of
100000 was as much as should be i'm
posed ON the company, and said 1t
would stand for that and make the
payment for this year and last on that

FLY BOBs TO PATROL STREETS.

Pressing Police Needs.


Pressing Police Needs.
Mayor Kiefer yesterday issued an order
to Chief Goss directing that the patrolmen
who are doing duty as special detectives be
assigned to patrol duty.
The order, however, is only a temporary
one, and as soon as the vacancies on the
force caused by the recent removals are
filled the plain-clothes boys will be relieved
from regular police duty.
The men affected by the order are PATROL
men George Wells and Lewis Calvin at the
ceptral station; Patrolmen j. j. DAILY and
Michael Sweeney, at the Rondo station: Pa
trolman Alexander F. Oldberg, at the Mar
garet station, and Patrolman John McGtnley
at the Ducas station.
In issuing the order Mayor Kiefer stated
that the special detectives would not be re-
quired to secure uniforms, but simply trans.
fer their shields from their suspenders to
the outside Of their coats.
The mayor is busy mixing up his list Of
appointments for the dozen vacancies, and the
names will be ready for APPROVAL at the next

been but one case entered In the United

Clerk Spencer, OF the United States district
court, thinks that the law is not being taken
advantage of yet because lawyers are not ia
miliar with It. There is little chance that
there will be much done under the new law
until the United States supreme court formu-
lates some rules and forms, as required by
the law.
1t is hardly possible to proceed to any sort
OF satisfactory conclusion until these rules
are made and the forms prescribed. This Is
likely to work some hardship to insolvents
who are forced to the WALL for they will be

THE JEWISH SOUTH.

is a negro Jewess, and he has two living children,
both girls and bothblack. His family is still in Egypt.
Wolskowi tells an interesting story of his origin,
and the rabbis of New York's Ghetto say that what
he tells of his ancestry is borne out by ancient history.
Wolskowi's ancestors were slaves to the patri-
archs, the father of the race being the head-servant
of Abraham's house. These slaves followed Jacobs
son to Egypt 5000 years ago, and when the Jews
were delivered from Egypt's tyranny they went with
them across the Red Sea into the wilderness. They
became converted to Judaism and helped todrive the
Philistines and the Hittites and other idol worslipers
from the land Of Canaan. But a strange freak of
fate landed the negro Jews, who were at odds with
their white brethren, back into the land Of the Pha-
raohs, where they were treated with superstitious
kindness by the Egyptians, who feared another out
pouring of the wrath of the God Of Israel. They set
tied in the northeastern part of Egypt, where for
more than 2, 500 years they have lived in seclusion,
their whereabouts unknown to the Hebrews of Pale
slime and other countries.
Samuel Wolskowi says that his people have adj
hered with scrupulous %strictness to the tenets of the
Abrahamic faith. The Makomba tribe at present
numbers 5000 souls. Like their white brethren they
keep the Sabbath on Saturday, beginning on Friday
evening at shutdown. All their meats and articles of
food are cooked kosher and their vernacular is
partly pure Hebrew and partly the jargon.
Wolskowi is a Hebrew scribe and he came to this
country to better his condition.
