The cancellation of taxes on the records
OF the city treasurer has caused more or
less trouble for a number OF years. 1t Is
now more than likely all trouble arising
from acts OF this kind will cease, as 1t Is
known that the administration is opposed to
cancellations of any kind. This matter has
been brought to the attention Of the legal
department Of the city In more ways than
one but an opinion recently rendered will
probably have considerable weight in case
applications for cancellation are made In
the future.
In communication recently filed by
James ]. Fitzgerald the request is made
that a certain tax in the sum Of s54 for the
grading Of Twentieth street from N to J
street be cancelled. Mr.. Fitzgerald asserts
that this work was done by Douglas county
and therefore no tax should have been lev
led. At a meeting of the council held Sep
tember %. 1895, a resolution was passed di-
recting this tax to be cancelled, and refer
ence to the records show that the orders
were carried out with the exception that lot
in block 11S was overlooked. It is the
taxes on this one lot that Mr.. Fitzgerald
wants Cancelled in order to be placed on
an equal footing with other abutting prop
erty owners.
The matter was referred to City Attorney
Lambert, who very decidedly opposes any
such action. He says in this connection
that the action Of the council at the meet
ing on September 23, 1895, is simply a null
lity and beyond Its power, and that such ac-
tion is void Continuing Mr.. Lambert
asserts that the statutes provide, among
other things, that no township board. city
council or village trustees shall have the
power to release. discharge remit or COM
mute any portion of the taxes assessed or
levied against any personal property within
their respective jurisdictions. for any rea-
son whatever.
Further. he says you can readily see
that to direct the city treasurer to cancel
the tax in this matter would be an attempt
to release and remit such tax. II the taxes
are. as stated, levied for an unauthorized
purpose sections 144 and las of the statutes
provide the only means fov relief, The pay
ment should be made under protest and then
the case can be taken UP legally"

BOLD DENVER ROBBER.

Tho suburbs of the City Witness BASTARD
~ Outrage.
Denver, Aug. 27-Mrs Florence Belts
and DR.. Joseph Haennelt, were beaten
into insensibiIlty and robbed by two
masked men last night at the junction OF
Alameda avenue and Boulevard F.
The robbery occurred at 8 o'clock las,
night in lonely part of the road lined
on either side by high weeds. DIR. Haen.
melt and Mrs Belts were driving along
Alameda avenue toward the city when
two men wearing masks sprang from
the side of the road and caught the
horses head. The robbers leveled
pistols at the occupants of the carriage
with the command; Throw up your
hands," No resistance was offered and
the two robbers, after cutting the traces,
started the liberated horse down the
road. then dragged Mrs Belts and Dr..
Haennelt from the buggy.
One robber bound DR.. Haennelt's
hands behind him and gagged Mrs
Belts. One of them threw DR.. Haennelt
on the ground and stood on him while
the other was beating Mrs Belts into in
sensib,lity. Mrs Belts was wearing
diamonds and jewels worth $1,000. Most
of them were solitaire diamonds. The
robber, in his haste to get the jewelry,
wrenched the earrings from Mrs Belts
ears, tearing the flesh. Her fingers were
cut and bruised, where he pulled off her
rings, and her neck, around which she
wore long watch chain, was cut by the
robbers attempt to snatch that also. He
tore her watch off the ring by which it
was attached to the chain about her
neck. The watch was later found in the
road, where It had been dropped by the
robbers in their haste to get away. Mrs
Belts shirt waist was torn and bloody
after the encounter.
After Mrs Belts had been robbed she
was left senseless on one side Of the road
and the robbers turned their attention 10
DR.. Haennelt. They ripped the pockets
of his coat out and secured $45 in bills
His trousers were torn down the side Of
both legs, but nothing more was secured
from him. He carried no watch and nc
other jewelry. The robbers then depart.
ed in the direction of Valverde, leaving
their victims in the road.
The theory of the police today is that
! Dr. Haennelt knows more than be has
told, His wounds are simply skin
bruises and there are ugly signs of a
deep laid plot to rob Mrs Belts.

troops should vacate Pekin will not be
acted upon until after thorough ex-

Germany's program is to await the
action of the other powers. Count Won

Most of the German papers are of

ALLIED ARMIES MAY
REMAIN in PEKIN

Washington, Sept. "A dispatch
from Minister Conger was received to-
day by the State Department 1t was
chiefly interesting in being the first
word from him since his dispatch of
the 9th ultimo, referring to the pro-
posed parade Of troops through the i'm
perial palace in Pekin. Like that dis
patch, this is dateless as to Pekin. The
contents were not made public, but it
was stated that it contained nothing
materially changing the situation. The
lack of date led to determination to
take energetic steps by which all dis
patches hereafter coming to the State
Department from China will have the
date clearly stated.
Two other dispatches received to-day
from China referred to the state of
health Of the troops, which, generally.
is satisfactory. 1t cannot be learned
that there has been any marked ad-
vancement Of the negOtiat tions between
the powers touching the withdrawal of
international forces from Pekin.
The plain indication Is that the pow
ers are acting upon the information
conveyed in the last note of the State
Department and are bringing all their
influence to bear upon Russia to in
duce her to change her mind as to
withdrawing her troops. For some
reason the authorities here appear to
feel growing confidence that this eff
fort will be successful. It Is noted as
a fact Of great significance that the
proposition is being advanced to have
Prince Ching return to Pekin as the
acting head Of the Chinese govern
ment. The suggestion is made that
the progress of this wave of reorgan-
ization while the international troops
are still in Pekin, promising as it does
speedily to provide an actual de facto
Chinese government, with which the
nations may treat without further
doubt as to it's strength, may solve the
present problem and put the Chinese
question in fair way to final and sat
isfactOry settlement. Much may de-
pend upon the attitude of Russia in
