The District Commissioners nave SUBMIT
Ted to Representative Hepburn, chairman OF

west Of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
and west of Congress Heights
{ The question of the location OF the bridge

would be necessary to build the road and
construct the sewer embankment sepa-

:. Bridge architecture has also, state the
: Commissioners, since the date of the report

AsObtained by using the Melan construction

and the naval magazine. and would also be
LOT great benefit to the people living in the
Z southern section of the District, saving
them. in many cases, a detour of much
jas two miles.
The Commissioners state that they do not
believe 1t to be the best policy to make
. appropriations for a part of a structure
without having the entire structure plan

they recommend that the bill be changed
$50 as to appropriate the sum of $4,000 for
preparing detailed plans and specifca tons

OVER THE FALLS
PLUNGE TAKEN SAFELY BY A
 WOMAN.
Says She Would Advise Everybody to Leave the PeriIous Trip severe

Niagara Falls, N. Y., Oct. 26.-At last the falls of Niagara have been conquered and by a woman, for Ms. Anna Edson Taylor, a widow. safely passed over them in a barrel. It was beyond any conception but her own that she would live to tell the story. But she is alive and the doctors say as soon as she gets over the shock she will be all right.
 At 4:05 o'clock Thursday the bar rel was set adrift and Mrs. Taylor was at the mercy of currents III waters that never before have been known to spare a human life. From the spot where the rowboat left the barrel the current runs frightfully swift and soon breaks over reefs that cause the water to toss in fury. The barrel was weighted with a 2,000pound anvil, and 1t fioated nicely in the water. Mrs. Taylor apparently retaining an up. right position for the greater part of

In less than a mln- ute it appeared at the base of the fall and was swept down stream. The current cast it aside in an eddy. and, .o1l- ctf hnI 1etween two eddieS until captured ct I 40 o'clock

LIND TALKS 70 STUDENTS
GIVES HIS VIEWS
ON SUBJECT OF DOUBLE
TAXATION
TAX SHOULD BE ON INCOMES
ImpOsts on Necessities Are Borne
by Those Least Capable of
Bearing Them-NTinne-
apOlis News.

Ex-Gov. John Lind addressed a largo
ents of the university in the L chapel Of
the library building last evening on the
subject of double taxation.
He declared himself as opposed to any
tax that can be shifted from one party
to another until the consumer has to pay
it., and said that in his opinion the tax
should be on the real estate and on in
comes Personal property, he thought,
ought to be exempted.
The speaker quoted Cooley, one of the
best authorities amongst law text book
writers, as stating that the basis CT
proper taxation is the income which a
citizen derives from property which is
afforded protection by the state. The
Constitution, however, he said, bases tax
on valuations, on property which citizens
own.
In the days when the country was
formed and the constitution drawn up
conditions were entirely different to what
they are today. There were few In
equalities. Mr.. Lind said that the franz
ers of the Constitution knew nothing of
large cities, great industrial corporations
bonds, stocks and mortgages There was
plenty Of land for everyone and every
thing that the citizens owned was In
sight and it was q simple matter to ap-
praise the stock and property. Valua-
tion was about as fair system of tax
ation as could be devised. Today, how

The fish and poultry interests of the
state are also receiving attention at the
hands of the commission. The members
have busted themselves in an endeavor
to get up a poultry display, and their
efforts have. no doubt been successful.
Tonight the. executive committee of the
State Poultry rassociation will hold a
meeting for the purpose of coming to
terms regarding their exhibit. H. j.
Goette is secretary of this organization,
and in his conferences with the commits
sioners gives encouragement of good

the state game and fish commission, will

and the display will be under the super

the United State fish commission at the
exposition. r
Aside from these additional collections
Minnesota, the home of many represent
atives of the animal kingdom, will have

a liberal collection of these at Warren,
and they will soon be taken to the scene
of the exposition. All the exhibits men
toned herein come later in the season,
and there is no great haste in the prep
arations, so that the commission will
have ample time to insure a good display
of each.
