Cohen, throat specialist of this city, was
the first witness called at the right session
held in this city. He testified to Booz

eye specialist, who treated Booz for the

troubled him. The ailrnent proved insig-
n.ficant.

Boarding School. Bustleton, Pa, where
Oscar Booz prepared for West Point, said
IL was his impression that he did not have
great strength of character, nor was he
physically strong. He was, however, a
truthful and Christian young man.
Sigmund s. Albert, an ex-cadet, who was
classmate of Booz, was then called. AL
berts testimony before the military board
was read to him. The witness at that hear
ing declined TO answer certain questions
and he was asked tonight why he de-
clined, but he could give satisfactory
response Albert firmly believed that he
was ostracised at West Point because of
his being a Jew. He testified that he had
been called "a damned Jew by Cadets

600 Word Message.

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-. Jan. 4.-Gov-
ernor Stephens's message sent to the Cen
eral Assembly to-day contains about 5000
words. Regarding franchise taxation the
message says in part: "All corporations
should pay a franchise tax upon business
transacted in Missouri without reference
to the place OF their organization. and most
certainly no distinction or discrimination
should be made against our own corpora
tons in favor OF foreign corporations in
that regard But in framing legislation for
the taxation of these intangible values IL
should be borne in mind that the essentials
OF system of taxation are considered TO
be the collection OF the necessary revenue
for the State at the smallest possible ex-
pense consistent with an equal and fair
distribution Of the burden. The interests
OF the people require method OF taxa

from unnecessary oppression. one which
will yield the requisite revenue while sub
jecting them as little as possible 10 IN
