TROUBLE IN A THEATER.
SHARK Hanna" Performing Bear
and Indians Make Lively Times.


New York, Feb. 9.-The Star Treater
was the scene of both a bear and a
man hunt yesterday. The performing
bear, which is named Mark Hanna"
escaped from his quarters early yes
terday morning, and the employees
were kept busy searching for him.
The bear was finally located slowed
away IN one of the boxes, and not
until his keeper arrived could he be
induced to leave the box. Later in the
day the band of Cheyenne Indians ar
rived to rehearse their parts. A stall
wart brave named Crazy Bear, while
engaged in rehearsing the war dance,
was unfortunate enough to be hit with
a stick of wood, which fell from above.
The maddened Indian started on the
warpath for the scene shifter who
dropped the wood, and it would have
gone badly with him had Crazy Bear
found him.

THE Police BAFFLED.
New York's Latest Murder Mystery
L. Yet Unsolved.

New York. Feb. 9.-The police have
made no progress thus far in unravel-
ing the latest river mystery Missing
men there are in plenty in this city,
but the authorities have failed to have
tie dismembered, headless and nude
body found yesterday identified as that
OF any man i'm the list.
They are ROW investigating a sue
gestion that the man may be William
Carlisle. the keeper Of the menagerie
at Glen Island, a pleasure resort in
Long Island Sound. who disappeared
two weeks ago. When last seen. on
January 2S Carlisle had about $500 in
his possession. He answers, as far as
can be learned, the description of the
body found, having been about thirty
five years old. and weighing 200
pounds.
1t is thought that Carlisle may have
fallen into the hands OF river pirates
who murdered ard robbed him and
then threw his body into the Sound.
The body could easily have drifted to
the place where it was picked up.

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug 1.-Procrasti-
ating payers of special government
var taxes found themselves in uncom-
ortable positions this morning when
hey tried to do business with Deputy
Internal Revenue Collector Michelet.
'he penalty for neglecting to take out
licenses is just so per cent of the orig
nal tax, and hence the part who came
prepared to turn over $50 to help the
var along was mulcted for SIS. The
'ecalcitrants thought it hard, but re-
-eived very little consolation from Mr..
Iichelet, since they had has nearly
,wo months in which to avoid the pen
lltv.
1t is plain that number of pawn
brokers', commercial brokers, owners
lf pool tables and others coming within
he scope of the war revenue bill have
neglected to pay the special FAX. These
will be attended to in due time by the
ield deputy, P. J. Sjoblom. IIow many
IRE delinquent is not known, but there
nus be many. Outside the dealers and
manufacturers Of liquors and tobacco,
he local office has issued licenses for
he following: One hundred and three
pool tables, 70 commercial brokers, 20
aWnbrokerS, 4 bankers and IA brokers.
Quite number of Minneapolis people

,ially true of the bankers.

RAILWAY VALUATIONS.

Up the Question.

South Dakota Board Ready to Take
Up the Question.
PIERRE, 8. D.. Aug. ,1-While there
was a rather warm time on the board
of equalization last year. when the as
sessment Of railroads was UP. this year
promises a still warmer contest. The
representatives of the roads will be
here and ask that their valuation be
based upon the valuation set by the
United States court In the suit against
the Chicago. Milwaukee. & st. Paul
railway. which was practically $4,000
per mile. With this as q basis, and the
assessment made on the basis of all
other property in the state-at about
one-third its actual value-the roads
would be given value Of about 50, 700
per mile, while at present the valua-
tons run from 81 900 to 81 200 per mile
according to the location Of the line.
A valuation on this basis would re-
duce many Of the lines in the state,
instead Of making a rise. The con-
tention which will be made against
such an assessment will be that the
value of the franchise should be taken
into consideration, as we'll as the value
Of the property, and on this an effort
Will be made to secure raise on prac-
tically all the lines operating in the
state. Petitions are being sent in, ask
ing that the value Of railroad prop
erty be largely increased, and a fat
assessment of $1,000 per mile is be-
ing asked for.
The state board of equalization and
assessment met this morning and or
ganized by the election of Gov. Lee
chairman. An adjournment was taken
to tomorrow, and Wednesday was SET
for day Of hearing Of any railroad
representative who desired to make
statements in regard to railroad as

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The interstate
commerce commission met in this city
today and discussed the question Of the
alleged disturbance in passenger rates
by the Canadian Pacific Railway COM
pany. All the members of the commits
sion were present, Martin A. Knapp
presiding. The United States circuit
court room, where the commission met,
was filled by railroad representatives
from several states who gave evidence
OH which the commission will base it's
conclusions.
During the afternoon a lively tilt was
occasioned by the proposal of the
American roads to introduce in evidence
against the Canadian Pacific a letter
written by Sir William Van Horne,
president of the Canadian Pacific in
which the writer laid down the PROPOSE
ton that Canadians meant to keep
Canada for themselves, and that the
interests of the Canadian Pacific de-
manded that American roads should be
excluded. The letter was admitted as
evidence after hard fight.
During the afternoon General Pas
senger Agent Eustis, Of the Burlington,
was on the stand replying to questions
relating to the decentralization in rates
to Alaska. He was in the witness chair
when an adjournment was taken and
will be there when the hearing is re-
sumed tomorrow. No evidence of i'm
portance was obtained from him.

Equalization Decides to Raise the
Assessment on All Railroads In

The Eastern Associated Express COM
panles have Issued circular explain
ing why they oppose the payment Of
war revenue tax stamps. The circular
is as follows:
Capital and bonded indebtedness of all
railroads in the United States, $1OS5O. 900, 900.
Capital stock of express companies in the
United States, $50, 900 900.

tai railroad capital to express capital, as

statement Of Senator Wolcott. Of Colorado,
In the senate of the United States the total
number of business transactions by the ex-
press companies mot over ten companies all
told) approximates the total number Of trans
actions by all the railroad companies put to-
gether-more than 1000 in number.
A bill of lading for a trainload of hard
ware from Pittsburg to San Francisco. or a
trainload of grain from Chicago to New York,
valued at thousands of dollars, requires only
one cent stamp. yet package valued at
81, going from Boston to Brookline, with
charges Of 25c. requires the samoa one
cent stamp. Here 1t is seen why railrosd
which if paid by the express companies would
border on confscation.
THAT circular ought to be satisfac-
tory" said William A. Naylor, general
superintendent of the American Ex-
press company, in this city, to a re-
porter for The G | o e. cit is very
easy for those who know nothing about
the express business to say we should
pay the tax. But see what it means.
I'VE have figured the matter and we
find that the average express rate is
80 cents. A stamp costs 1 cent or 81
cents for every 81 of business. That
means a tax of S1s per cent. That is
a heavy tax. The railroads on the
other hand are required to pay / cent
only on a receipt for a whole carload
OF goods The difference is very great.
Railroads can we'll afford to pay the
tax, but express companies cannot.
1T is said express companies are
lacking in patriotism. I do not think
so. This express company, for in
stance, notified it's men that those who
enlisted in the army for the war would
receive half-Day while absent and
would be restored to their positions
when they returned. That expense is
tax in itself. When you add stamps
to it the tax becomes very large.
Il think the circular will convince
fair-ninded people that the express
companies have taken a sound stand on
this question. Individual shippers can
afford to pay the tax, but the COM
parieS cannot"
