Gamewell carried out the entire defenses
of the British legation and that these de-
lenses have excited the admiration of the
officers of various nationalities who
have since inspected them. AS tribute
to their excellence he mentions that not
withstanding a constant rain of rifle fire
during the five weeks of the siege, not
single woman or child in the legation
suffered. He adds that a deep debt OF
gratitude is owed to him by all the be-
sieged. Mr.. Herbert Squres acted In
the capacity of Sir Claudes chief of stan,
after the death of Capt. StrOuts, of the
royal marines. Sir Claude says that his
earlier services in the United States army
We're of great use in the defense, and
that he cannot speak too highly of their
zeal and ability.

plans carried out by him and under Sir
Claude's orders he drew the plan for the

THAT in the opinion of this body, the

traffic in intoxicants, and that our help

and the making of such treaties as
would effectively prohibit the sale by

Mr. Brown said that the movement
had been fully organized in - different
Presbyteries in different parts of the

already been contributed. Later in the

wood pleaded warmly for the foreign
mission and also for special efforts to
pay off the mortgages amounting to half
a million on the Presbyterian buildings

that amount had already been promised
by prominent Presbyterian in this city
on condition that the board would raise
the remainder of the sum 5y March ?.
The board has since raised Sl020o0 to

in this city we have millions invested

Mrs. Biggerstaff Says the Sheriff Took
Possession of Property.

Elizabeth Biggerstaff began an action
in the district court today against Pa
trick H. Regain, sheriff of Silver Bow
county, to recover judgment damages al
legged to have been sustained by an un-
lawful seizure of property belonging to
her. In the complaint she states that on
December 6, 1900, the sheriff took her
cooking stove, chairs, tables, desks and
books, kitchen furniture, six heating
stoves, seven beds and bedding, all car
pets, provisions and fuel, washing ma
chine and other goods which she had at
31S East Park street; that on the 10th Of
the month she made affidavit to the eff
feet that all Of the property seized was
exempt from execution and demanding
that it be released, but the defendant re-
fused to comply with the request and
still continues to hold to it. She further
alleges that the value of the tables and
chairs was about so, While the balance

INCURRED THEIR ENMITY.
Sam Phillips Says He Was Beaten by
the Lanes.

Sam Phillips, who served as one of the
special policemen to enforce compulsory
vaccination, told tale of woe to Police
Judge Sullivan this afternoon and got
a warrant calling for the arrest of
Sandy Lane and his son. who is desig-
noted in the warrant as John Doe Lane.
Phillips stated that he had probably
compelled young Lane to go with him
to the health officer for the purpose of
being vaccinated, but he did not remem-
her it on account of the number of SIM
liar cases he had to deal with.
For that reason the Lanes probably
shave it in" for the eX-officer and. ac-
cording to his story, Jumped him"
this morning and did things to him.
Phillips says that last Sunday he en-
countered young Lane while the latter
was driving a watering cart. and Lane
at the time threatened to kill him. AT
about II o'clock this morning Phillips
says that while he was passing the
Palace stables Lane and his father
Jumped him. and after knocking him
down, kicked him in the side several
times.
Phillips seems to have incurred the
enmity of number of people during his
service for the city, and on the evening
of December %, as he was entering a
downtown theater. was set upon and
terribly beaten by several people. His
eyes were closed and he was kicked in
the" sides until he was hardly able to
walk The assault at that time was SO
swift that he did not have time to rec
ognize any of his assailants and no
arrests followed.

the subject of franchise taxation. 1t has
a word to say about the school fund, of
which an issue was made in the last
election; recommends a constitutional
convention and a state commission to
help along the ST. Louis worlds fair.
Regarding franchise taxation the mes
sage says in part:
"All corporations should pay fran
chise tax upon business transacted in
Missouri, without reference to the place
of their organization, and most certain
ly no distinction or discrimination should
be made against our own corporations
in favor of foreign corporations in that
regard. But in framing legislation for
the taxation of these intangible value it
should be borne in mind that the essen
tials of a system of taxation are con-
sidered to be the collection of the neces-
sary revenue for the state at the smallest
possible expense consistent with an equal
and fair distribution of the burden. The
interests of the people require method
of taxation at once equitable, effective
and free from unnecessary oppression,
one which will yield the requisite rev.
enue while subjecting them as little as
possible to inqusitorial veXation and
| which should be attended with the least
expense for official services and the
fewest temptations to a reduced con-
cealment and evasion. It. is true that
scarcely a single method of assessment
of taxation is free from adverse criti-
cisnl, and that in the light of the expert
ence of centuries very few known general
principles are fully and satisfactorily
settled, while bitter controversies arise
| upon APPARENTLY the most simple ques-
tons and are waged with vigor and
avidity as to matters both of substance
and administration as we'll in the most
trivial, the most vital points. But it is
now we'll known that the franchises are
| property and should be taxed by some
| method in proportion to their value. But
as the equality of taxation is is the JUS
| tice of taxation, care should be exercised
in levying of assessments and collection
of taxes against this class as well as all
other classes of property where belong
