Incensed Because Doctor Won't
Allow Him to Vault.

the age of SO, just now is deeply in

wall at Chillingham.
This acrobatic performance, the doc

resentment.

BIGGEST CHECK EVER DRAWN
The Piece of Paper Called for IL, 9
Payment of a Mint Of
Money.

There were made out last year two
checks which were and still are the
largest ever drawn in single financial
transactions. says the St. James Bud
get. The smaller OF the two checks
established a record as the largest ever
drawn: but although it was for more
than S55 .0G0. it did not long re-
main the largest, being soon eclipsed
by a check for 1922, 500 900.
These valuable pieces Of paper were
drawn III connection with the last Chi
nese loan and the final installment of
the war indemnity money which va
due to Japan from China. and changed
hands in the parlOr Of the Bank of
England. in the presence of the gov
ernor Of the bank, the plenipotentiaries
of the Chinese and Japanese govern
ments, and the managers and sub
managers of the Hong-Eoug and
SHANGHAI banking corporation
Their record check was the largest
ever drawn by any barking firm. It
was an ordinary looking document
enough, and folded would easily go
into ones vest pocket. If it We're pos
sible to make a golden column of these
millions by piling the coins one on
top of the other, the height of 1881
miles would be reached. If a chain
were made of the coins, they being
placed side by side, it would extend
1852 miles.

liberated t~hirty-five minutes and de-
livered judgment, saying that, accord
ing to the articles of the penal code un-
der which Christiani was entenced, he
was liable from two to five years i'm
prisonment. There was general excla-
nation of surprise when the prisoner
was sentenced to four years imprison-
nent and also to pay the costs of the
trial. Christiani listened unmoved 4
his sentence.
The court in which the baron was
tried was one of the smallest halls in
the palace Of justice. Christiani sat
in the dock beside a policeman and on

with policemen and municipal guards.

Wilmington. n. c., June /,
Editors Messenger:

Editors Messenger:
1t may be said OF the last assessment
Of property in this city for taxation, a
was said OF another public measure,
1t j. seldom that a measure curses
every one and benefits no one" and
the citizens OF this city are justified
in their indignation and blame at the
attempt TO confiscate their property by
unreasonable and excessive valuations.
Fortunately for the people, the ac-
ton OF the assessors is not conclusive,
but may be revised by the board Of
equalization. And We are led to believe
that some Of the members of the board,
at least, if not all, realize the absolute
necessity of providing some remedy
for the cruel wrong inflicted upon the
people.
How to adequately remedy the evil
is the question. Some suggest a hori-
zontal reduction Of the total assessment
by a certain percent thereof; and this
would do, if the increase of the as
sessment was the same per cent on
each piece of property. But as the in
crease ranges from 80 to 100 per cent,
tits plan fails to do justice to any.
Another suggestion is to make a hori-
Zontal reduction Is above mentioned
and then consider individual cases,
where the valuations are still excessive,
Notwithstanding such reduction. The
plan is better and would perhaps an
swer, but it will require much time 10
h-ar all complaints, as almost all prop
erty has been so greatly ~overvalued
that it will reduce but little, if any, the
number of taxpayers who will still
need relief, even after the reduction is
made.
1t is therefore suggested that the
board of equalization revise the as
sessments by setting aside the entire
new assessments and adopting the val
uations heretofore existing-which,
though considered high under the de
pressed condition of business here, yet
have been acquiesced in by the citi-
zens-and then consider individual
cases, where values have changed by
reason of improvements, or losses, or
otherwise. Such cases, it does not
seem, will be many and the board will
be able to PASS upon all in a reasonable
time.
AS is is a very serious and impor-
tant matter to the whole community,
in more ways than one, these sugges-
tions are made that they may be con-
sidered and some plan devised, by
which the people of this city may be
saved from ruin.
