foot by foot he was overhauling the flying
leader. Ii was not rapid enough gain to
suit Spencer, and he drew his whip. AS he
loosed his hold the Realization winner fall

have won If Spencer had left the whip alone
he might have been "a little nearer. The

VALUES OF REAL ESTATE
COUNTY BOARD OF REVIEW con-
sIDERs ADVERTISEMENTS.
A Day Spent with People Who Object
TO Figures Fixed by
Assessors.

The County Board of Review spent yes
terday listening TO people who think their
property has been appraised at too high 81
figure The board has made no changes in
asSessn ents yet and will not do SO until
the objections" are ali in. After the prop
erty owners have had their SAY" the board
will make such changes In assessments as
the members deem just. Among those who
came before the board yesterday was j. II.
Baldwin, who claimed that the Baldwin
block had been appraised too high. He said
he had understood that the plan OF assess
ment was to raise the appraisement of cor
aer lots from 10 to 20 per cent. above adj
joining lots. He complained that the Bald
win block, at Delaware and Market streets,
had been raised IS per cent The real estate
occupied by the block was appraised at
Sl0l6 front foot, while the appraisement
on an adjoining lot was 500 a front foot.
Mr.. Baldwin raised the question as to what
was the proper basis on which to fix valua-
tions. He was of opinion that the rental
or income value was the proper basis.
Township Assessor Saulcy. who was with
the board. suggested that the selling value
OF property was usually taken as basis.
The board heard the complaint of Henry
d. Pierce in relation to the appraisement
VI Ills pAOpclly dl lIlc SOulnNccI Sc1hCA VI
Market and Pennsylvania streets 1t was
assessed at $1,000 d front foot, while the
Talbot block, on the northwest corner, was
appraised at 1914 front foot. Mr.. Pierce
explained why he thought the other prop
erty was more valuable than his own for
rental purposes. One reason was that the
south side of the street was the dark side
and was less attractive for storerooms and
Offices. He referred to the difference in the
appraisement of his property and the
ground where the Lemcke building stands.
This was appraised at $1,000 front foot.
Mr.. Pierce denied that he Is receiving $500
pied by drug store. He said 1t had never
brought more than $l75 month.
Wilmer +. Christian, who owns land east
of the city near Washington street, ap-
peared before the board to object to the
appralsement put on his real estate. He
said that In the last appraisement OF real
estate his farm was assessed at $l25 an
to $500 Louis Deschler complained that his
property on Senate avenue north OF Fail
creek was appraised too high. The as

pany, was before the board in the interests

erty belonging to the trust on Senate ave-
praised at $4,000. He thought this was too
high as II had been appraised at about its
selling value. Thomas Spann and DR.. John

talked of real estate values.
1t was discovered yesterday that the as

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, July 6.-The Mil
lers clearly outplayed the Hoosiers and took
the first game Of the series this afternoon.
Scott, the elongated twirler, was pounded
hard and always when runs were needed.
The visitors went to pieces in the first In
ming and almost every one of the infield who
had a chance to handle the ball succeeded
in throwing 1T where no one could get it.
Cantillon alone prevented the game from
being uninteresting. as he tried his best to
give 1t to the Hoosiers. In the third inning.
when Hutchinson was pitching a fine article
of ball and two men had been retired, Can
tillon allowed Hartzell second base on
steal, although he was plainly out, and
then passed Mcfarland to first. Allen drove
Hartzell in with a single. and Cantillon
filled the bases by allowing Stewart to walk.
Hickey was the next man up and he cleared
the bases with single that Nance failed to
STOP The Millers, after tying the score in
the fifth. again took the lead in the sixth.
In the eighth they clinched the game by
punching double and four singles. which
netted them three more. Aliens men tried to
again forge to the front and pounded Hutch
ison hard. but, although they punched two
singles and double in the eighth, the sem
sational fielding OF Nance in left field re-
tired the side with only one run scored. In
the ninth they again opened on the veteran
pitcher, but Nance and Davis got under
three long drives and the game was over.

forward current. and the result OF the two
conflicting forces upon the motor was that
the automobile was thrown down the hill
and upset Mr.. Vanderbilt was thrown heav-
fly TO the ground Mr.. Kemp and others
picked Mr.. Vanderbilt up In a dazed condi-
ton. and FASTENED with him TO Belvor,
Mrs. Vanderbilt naturally being greatly agi-
tated at the accident, which she had wit
messed. DR.. Clement Cleveland found no
bones broken and upon a second visit this
morning he found that no internal injuries
rad been sustained Mr.. Vanderbilt is quite
lame. but is otherwise all right. The auto
mobile is q wreck.
