ILLINOIS WILL GET
 $S,OOO,OOO TAXES
A DECISION BY THE SUPREME COURT IN THE FAMOUS CHI CAGo TEAcHERS' cASE-cOR- PoRATloNa FRANCHISE.

Springfield H., October A.-The Su- of the Circuit Court of Sangimon county, in what is known as the Chicago teach CTS tax case. This, in effect, awards a writ of mandamus against the State board of equalization to compel it to as- sess the capital stock. including fran chises, of twenty Chicago corporations, the fair cash value of whose capital stock, value of their tangible property, is all laged to aggregate $235. 900. Following are the corporations directly affected:
 The tax decision relates to twenty-three local corporations enjoying municipal franchises, including traction companies, gas companies and electric companies, whose total capital stock was estimated to be worth $36S, ,OOO, 900, all of which had escaped taxation previously and was like ly to be omitted again by the state board. which adjourned last December without assessing this vast amount of property.
 The trial of the case was begun before Judge Thompson in Springfield March 23rd and the decision was handed down May End. commanding the board to re- assemble June 18th and assess these cor porations in accordance with the rules of the board in regard to the assessment of capital stock. But the board not only neglected to make the assessment but ap- pealed the rules of the board on the sub ject. which have been in force for thir- ty years. and had been sustained by the United States Supreme Court as the only fair and legal plan of assessment.
 Mayor Harrison said:
 ''The decision adds s. O00.00O to the funds of the state. and of this g, 100000 will come to Cook County, where the teachers started the fight. It is now up to the board of equalization to bow to the dic- tates of the court. One effect 1t will have probably will be to squeeze a lot of the water out of the stock of various cor porations. and it may drive some of them out of the state to fairer climes-New Jersey, for instance"

RULERS FALL DUE
 TO LADY ROBERTS
"PETTicOAT INFLUENCE" IS SAID TO BE FAR TOO STRONG AT THE ENGLISH WAR OFFICE SINCE CAMBRIDGE RESIGNED.

New York, October 24-Interesting de- tails concerning the forced retirement of Sir Redvers Butler are given in a dis patch from London to the Herald. It is an open secret that what is known as ''petticoat influence has been far too strong at the war office ever since the Duke of Cambridge resigned and the po- litical commander-in.chief has not es- capped it.
 There are many people who are inclined to applaud the speech of Mir. E. C. Rich ards, K. c. M. B., night before last at Northampton, who declared that If Lord Roberts would leave bazaar openings to Lady Roberts and take the selections and war office reforms into his own hands there might be great reform at the war office
 It is said that ever since General Butler refused to correct his Spon Kop dis patches he has been subjected to the bit- ter hostility of Lady Roberts, who used every effort to force her husband to de- mand his recall.
 Within the last few days her apathy has found fresh vent owing to his Vest hliister speech It IS SalQ She induced 'Bobs' to go to the war office and demand of MT. Frederick that he issue an order for General Buffers resignation.
 Such an order was issued, but old Butler replied with a. fiat refusal to re- sign.
 Then Lord Roberts and Mr. Frederick put their heads together, and waited for the instant of the Kings return to Lon don to lay before His Majesty the alter native of Buffers dismissal or their resig- nation.
 At first the King refused point blank to countenance any such drastic proceed ing.
 Lord Roberts and MT. Frederick then threatened to resign instanter unless a royal mandate were issued for Buffers decapitation.
 His Majesty used every effort to in- duce the commander-in-chief to recon sider his determination Only when he finally discovered this was out of the question was the royal consent reluc- tantly given to the order for General Buffers dismissal"

Feat Never Before Accomplish ed and Attempted Only by
 WouId-Be Suicides WOMAN PRAYED FOR SAFETY
Would Never Do 1t Again, But Was Not Sorry She Did Do 1t "lf 1t Would Help Her
 Financially"

Niagara Falls October 24-Mrs Annie Edson Taylor, 50 years of age, went over Niagara Balls on the Canadian side this afternoon and survived, feat never be- fore accomplished, and never attempted except in the deliberate commission of suicide. She made the trip in a barrel Not only did she survive but escaped without broken bone, her only apparent injury
 being scalp wound one and one-half inches long, slight concussion of the brain. some shock to her nervous system and bruises about the body. She was con- scious when taken out of the barrel The doctors in attendance upon her tonight said that though she was somewhat hys- terical, her condition is not at all serious, and that she probably will be out of bed in few days.
 Mile Through Rapids.
 Mrs. Taylor's trip covered a mile ride through the Canadian rapids before she reached the brink of the precipice. Her barrel staunch as a barrel could be made, was twirled and buffeted through those delirious waters, but escaped serious con tact with rocks. As 1t passed through the smoother, swifter waters that rushed over into the abyss. 1t rode in an al- most perpendicular position, with its up- per half out of the water
 As 1t passed over the brink it rode at an angle of about 45 degrees on the outer surface of the deluge and descended gracefully to the white foaming waters | 158 feet below.
 True to her calculations the anvil fastened to the bottom of the barrel kept it foot downward and so it landed Had it turned over and landed on It's head Mrs. Taylor's head must have been crushed in and her neck broken The ride through the rapids occupied eighteen
 minutes. It was 4:23 o'clock when the
 barrel took its leap. It could not be seen as it struck the water below because of the spray. but in less than half a minute after 1t passed over the brink it was seen on the surface of the scum-covered wa ter below the falls. It was carried swift ly down to the green water below the scum; then half way to the Maid of the Mist eddy and held there until foated SO close to the shore that 1t was reached by. | means of a pole and hook and drawn in | upon the rocks at 4;4o o'clock, seventeen minutes after it shot the Cataract. Prayed All the Way. The woman was lifted from the barrel and half an hour later she lay on cot at her boarding place in Niagara Falls on the American side She said she would never do it again. but that she was I not sorry she did 1t, If 1t would help her | financially" She said she had prayed all during the trip except during "a few mo- ments' of inconsistencies just after her | descent.
 | The barrel in which Mrs Taylor made | the journey Is AZ feet high and about 8 feet in diameter. A leather harness and cushions Inside protected her body. Air | was secured through rubber tube con | nected with a small opening through the | top of the barrel.

CZOLGOSZ CONVICTED.

"Guiltygof murder in the first degree
was the judgment which Leon F. Czolgosz,
the anarchist murderer of President Nc
Kinley, heard pronounced upon him by
Henry w. Wendt, foreman of the Buffalo
Supreme Court criminal jury, at 1926
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, bringing to
an end one of the most notable murder
trials in the annals of the country.
Not so much as by the movement of an
eyclid did Czolgosz indicate the shock
with which the words of the jury's fore
man must have come home to him. His
imperturbability was so dense that many
When the verdict had been announced he
was assisted to his feet and led out of the
courtroom to the Jail. He remained there
until P NJ. yesterday, when the sentence
of electrocution was pronounced.
The attorneys for the defense had been
unable to secure experts who would testi-
fly that Czolgosz was insane and this de-
stroyed their last vestige of defense. The
fact that they would put no witnesses on
the stand was communicated to District
Attorney Penney and he agreed to call as
few witnesses as possible in order that
the day might mark the end of the trial.
The case was given to the jury at 3.51
o'clock Tuesday. Twentyeight minutes
later the jury sent in word that it had
reached a verdict. At 4.26, as previously
stated, the verdict was formally announc-
ed
Judge White was informed that it was
the desire that the assassin's right of re-
serving two days to himself sentence was
pronounced be not waived and he then
fixed Thursday afternoon as the time of
pronouncing sentence.
The court which tried the assassin was
in session total of 5 hours and - min
utes. The jury was secured after 2 hours
and As minutes. The actual time given
to the examination of witnesses was less
than five hours. During the trial not a
single objection was made by the attorneys
for either side.

JUDGE JEItE WILSON DEAD.

jeremiah NJ. Wilson, former Judge of
the Court of Common Pleas and of the
Circuit Court for the Southern District of
Indiana and chief counsel for Admiral
Winfield s. Schley, died at the Shoreham
Hotel, Washington, suddenly Tuesday
morning at II o'clock.
Charles S. Wilson, a son of Judge Will
son and his former law partner; William
Haywood, former Consul General to Ha
waii and Judge Wilson's soninlaw; Dr..
H. F. Bishop and Dr.. W. F. Corey were
with Judge Wilson when he died. The
cause Of death, as announced by the ply
sicians, was Gdema of the lungs, accom-
panied by heart failure and chronic
Bright's disease. Judge Wilson would
have been % years old on November 2Sth
For twenty-six years Judge Wilson had
been one of the most prominent attorneys
at the District of Columbia bar. He was
conspicuous in many trials, among which
the Star Route cases, the Breckenridge
Pollard case, the trial of Howard Schnci-
der for murder, the 100 actions in equity
against the Chesapeake and Potomac
Teleph one Company, the Olmstead will
case, the Van Riswick will case, the
Dennis Canty murder trial and the Con-
gressional investigation into the regime
of Gov. Alexander Shepard, of the Dis
trict of Columbia, are perhaps the most
notable.
p Judge Wilson was born in Ohio Novem-
Der 90, 1928, and removed to Indiana
while a very young man. From 1860 to
1865 he was Judge of the Court Of Com
mon Pleas. He then resigned and was
elected Judge of the Circuit Court. From
that position he was elected to the Forty
second Congress as Republican. In the
House of Representatives he served two
terms and retired to enter on the prac-
tice of law in Washington. 1t was dur
ing this Congressional service the invcs-
tigation into the administration of Gov
ernor Shepard and the Board of Public
Works occurred. Judge Wilson served
conspicuously as chairman of the Con-
gressional Investigating Committee, and,
as part of that committees report to Con-
gress, dl afted in all its essentials the plan
of the present government of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The effect of the death of Judge Wilson
on Admiral Schley's case can scarcely be
estimated now. Attorney General Rayner
is well qualified to handle his clients in
terests throughout, but he cannot fail to
miss the guiding hand of Judge Wilson.
1t is believed, however, that he will I'M
dertake the conduct of the case alone,
with such assistance as he may receive
from the associate counsel, Capt. James
Parker and Mr. NJ. A. league, of Balti-
more.
