QUESTION OF VALUATION RAISED.
Illinois Counties Decline to Let Cook
Have All the Cut.

Danville, Ills. Aug. 2I.-The Yer
million county board of review has
written an identical note to all the
boards of review in Illinois outside of
Cook county suggesting that they all
make a reduction of 80 1-3 per cent. in
the assessment of real estate in their
respective counties. This action was
caused by the report that the board of
review of Cook county had determined
to pursue a similar course in that
county.
1t is said that property values in
Cook county, personal as we'll as realty.
are seriously undervalued for taxing
purposes that the citizens of that coun-
ty may Shirk their just proportion of
the state taxes. 1t is further alleged
that the tax books Of Cook county will
not show double the number of
watches, clocks, organs and melOdiOns
that appear on the tax books of Yer
million county, although Cook county
has a population of 100000 and Yer
million county only 10000.

slashes His Throat and Wrists With
Knife

Philadelphia, Dec 26-W. B. Irvine
Shaw, Who had been filing the position
of United States consul at Barranquilla,
Colombia. and who was recently ap-
pointed consul general to Singapore,
committed suicide here today. He
opened a fenOra1 artery and slashed his
thoat and wrists with a knife. Ill health
is supposed to have affected his mind.
For three years he had attended to
his duties as consul at BarranQuilla
while the revolution shook the republic.
Fever and his duties undermined his
health, and he asked for and obtained
leave of absence early last August. His
dislike for the old post increased and he
sought another appointment, and was
successful, being named consul general
to Singapore. After receiving the ap-
pointment he decided to return to Bar
rSnquilla to settle his affairs. He left
the home of his sister in Germantown,
near here, where he had been staying,
two weeks ago, and sailed from New
York on the steamer Alta That was
the last heard OF him until he was found
dead today
Mr.. Shaw was 50 years old and a ma
tive of Clearfield county, Pennsylvania.
He is survived by a widow and two
sons.

heard the conversation between two men
who were sitting the seat directly in
front of me. They were talking of the
abduction of the Cudahy boy. One os the
men said he had an idea, and proceeded
to explain it to the other. He had figured
it out that it would be a paying business
to insure the rich men against the alb
duction of their children. His scheme was
something like this: When a rich man
had a child the agent would approach him
and make the following proposition: For
800 the child would be insured against
abduction for one year. If the child was
abducted the company would agree to re-
fund the child or so 000- The company
was to have twenty detectives who would
hunt up the children after they had been
stolen and the company was to have ten
days to restore the stolen child He
seemed to think it would be a success, as
it is well known that rich men think a
great deal of money, and that Mr.. Cud-
ahy has set the price at S25 900 for a good,
well developed boy. If rich men could
make a. sure thing Of raising a boy by
drop into the scheme. There are at least
10000 rich men in the country who have
children whom it would pay to abduct
and if so per cent of them could be per
suaded to go into the scheme the business
would be a success. He had a lot of de-
tails which I cannot remember but that
was the gist of his scheme and I don't
see why it would not work. If business
gets duh the organization could abduct
a few children on its own account, which
would make the rich men come in at a
rapid rate. There are all kinds of posi-
bilities in the scheme"
