HETTY GREEN PROTESTS.
Board Of Review Makes Rich Woman
Paw More Taxes.

Chicago, July 26.-Hetty Green's Wig
orous protests against an increase of
her tax assessments have awaited moth
ing with the board of review, and yes
terday an advance of $236,550 was
spread on 495 acres of land in the town
of Lake, owned by the wealthy New
York woman. Though ali the surround
ing property in this territory has been
improved. Hetty Green has kept all inn
provements from her 1876 acres and, it
is charged, thus sought to keep her
taxes all the lower.
The seven pieces of property owned
by Mrs. Green in the vicinity of the
stock yards were valued at 1854, $50.
This property was among the first bits
Of real estate passed on by the review
ers, and the total valuation was sent
up to $791, 100. This means that Mrs.
Green will pay $2.955 more taxes than
she had counted on when the lower
valuation was entered, and this is
merely the beginning of the revision of
values on her large holdings of real
estate in Chicago

YIEMOF BANKERS.
They Believe That so Fer Cent. of
Corn Crop Is Lost.


New York. July 26.-The Journal of
Commerce, which telegraphed to a large
number of bank presidents in Iowa,
Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas, prints
a special report which says.
t.There is every reason for believing
that the early reports of damage to
the corn crop by the drought have not
been exaggerated On the contrary it
is quite evident that the situation is
much worse than at first reported and
that now much of the injury is beyond
repair.
THE region Of worst damage lies
within an irregular circle of about 500
miles in diameter, with ST. Joseph, Mo,
as an approximate center"
The following question was sent to
the bank presidents:
. Kindly wire your opinion of per-
centage Of damage to corn and live
stock by drought in your vicinity
The answers indicate serious losses
in the region specified. In Kansas many
report 20 per cent damage to corn; in
Missouri the majority of reports are
between so and rs per cent damage; in
Nebraska the reports are generally be-
tween SO and 90 per cent damage, while
in Iowa the injury is generally between
% and 80 per cent.
1T would seem from the returns
given that a loss of so per cent in this
district would be an exceedingly mod
crate estimate This would indicate a
loss of at least S12, 900 900 bushels in the
region of greatest drought and prob
ably considerably more.
The damage to live stock is con-
siderable in Missouri and Kansas, but
slight in Iowa and Nebraska"

is NOT AT ALL PROUD.
Says Mr.. Burton is Willing to
Meet His Friends.
There is Nothing to Fix Up
Now, However.

State Treasurer Frank Grimes re-
turned Thursday afternoon from Ohio
in time for the much talked of confer
ence without knowing that it had been
called off Lit Crum also hoated into
Topeka last night but Grimes stoutly
denies that there was to be q confer
ence although Senator Burton admit
ted it in an interview in Kansas City.
This morning Burton's private secre-
tary, w. w. Smith. Lit Crum and Geo.
Findlay met in Grimes private Office.
Grimes was quite certain that there
was to be no conference and said so as
follows
Whoever gave out the report that
there would be a conference had no
foundation for it whatever. There is
nothing to hold a conference over. The
people OF the state are not worrying
about who viii hold the appointive po-
sitions nor is this time to think who
viii be the next state officers. The peo-
pie are more interested in how much
wheat they are going to have and
whether it viii rain and save the corn
crop That's of more interest to them
than these political stories that mislead
the public
How did the politicians happen to
gather here yesterday" was asked.
4 suppose they saw the conference
story in the papers. I saw a fellow last
night who said he would not have come
here if he had not heard there was to
be a meeting said Grimes. Mr. Bur
ton is busy attending to business and
trying to make a living for himself and
family and is just as willing and ready
to meet his friends now as he has al
ways been"
.'Nin there be a conference held Sat
urday2"
Il don't know of any conference at
ALL
DO you expect Mr. Burton here on
Saturday."
u don't know where Mr.. Burton win
be Saturday
The corn in Ohio is better than in
Kansas but the wheat is not so good.
The stories in the east are magnified
about the conditions of the Kansas
people. They are plying US and forget
that we have 15.0O0O00 bushels of wheat.
They are still talking about our horri-
bic cyclones and our hot weather and
they do not realize that the corn in
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois has been as
seriously damaged as in Kansas
Just now Grimes can not stop crop
talk even for politics.
Burton was at FIT Sill Wednesday
and the following happened there ac-
cording to a dispatch:
Quannah Parker. the veteran chief of
the Comanches called at the registra-
ton office yesterday and asked to see
Senator Burton of Kansas. Mr. Hamp-
ton, the man in charge. informed the
Indian that the senator had not been
there.

Parker
He isn't registered yet" replied
Hampton.
That's funny" said Parker. Hes

thing IN sight,
He may come LATER said Hampton.

Nope; I'll watch for him I under
stand he's going to be attorney fer all

railway held this afternoon the electric
traction dispute was the principal
topic of discussion The action OF the
directors of the Metropolitan in oppos-

proved. The chairman of the meeting,
detailing the negotiations between
Yerkes and the Metropolitan railway
said that expert electricians Of both
the Metropolitan District and Metro
politan railways had approved the
CAM system of electric transic, and
that when Yerkes came upon the scene
he had won over the Metropolitan Dis
trict to the system he approved Pro

CAM method was what experts
claimed, it was designed to render
valueless millions of dollars worth of

and in the United States, and that

mined effort was making by interested
capitalists and companies. command
