FLOTO FOUND HIM.
DiscOverer of Young Corbett
Stops i'm Topeka.

Otto F1oto the man who has repu-
tation among prize fighters equal to
that of Martin Julian and VIM Brady,
and who is the sporting editor of the
Denver Post, general agent for the Otto
Floto dog and pony show. the discov-
erer of Young Corbett,' and promi-
nently mentioned as referee for the
coming fight between Fitzsimmons and
Jdffries, was in Topeka Thursday con-
sdlting with traffic officials of the Santa
Fe in regard to the routing of his dog
and pony show which is coming
through Kansas in May or April.
L think that the F'itzsimmo Jeffries
match is a go, all right, this time"
said Mr.. Floto to a reporter for the
State Journal. Il had a letter just be-
fore leaving Denver stating that if it
was decided to select a referee from
outside of California, they would prob
ably want me to offieiate. l expect to
attend the fight whether / referee or
not
1.-THE Otto F'loto shows are owned by
the Denver Post, said Mr.. Floto.ss The
Post is Interested in a dozen different
enterprises besides publishing a news
paper, and this show is one of them We
will have a good show. We have the
I4ockart troupe of performing ele-
plants, Uncle Dan Castello's troupe of
100 horses and ponies, and tPeeja,' the
$1,000 white monkey
When it came to talking about prize
fighters, it was evident that Mr.. Floto
is very proud of his protege. Young
Corbett.'
II put the first glove on that lad he
ever had on said Mr. Floto. Il
brought him out. and there isn't any of
them that can touch him. I expect to
meet him in Cincinnati next week.
Young Corbett is the greatest fighter in
the bunch, in his Glass;
F1oto looks something like a prize
fighter himself, except that he is a bit
too fat and good natured. He is a six
footer, and would weigh over 200. He
has a very red and jolly face, and I'M
derstands the events of. the world of
sport as well as any man in the bust
ness.

The repeal of the war taxes will put
a good many millions into the pockets
of the brewers, but it would be difficult
to discover where it will help the
grower of hops and barley or the con-
sumner of beer. OF course nothing is
known regarding the working of the
law here in Topeka, but it is reported
that in those places where beer is sold
that the price and the size of the glass
remained tie same after the war tax
was added as it was before and it is
presumed that both Will continue as
they now are when the tax is removed.
The brewers profits will be increased.

The tracklaying machine then began
laying steel into the city and the work
was continued until half past I O'Clock

OF VALUATION.
Total Valuation of State Property
Will Largely Exceed That Of
Last Year.
Returns In Many Cases Exceed
Equalized Values as Fixed a
Year Ago.

The state board Of equalization prac-
treaty. settled upon the assessment of
corporate property this morning. Tel
egraph and telephone lines will be as
sessed at practically the same figures
as last year. The increase of $1,000
a mile in main line railroad assess
ments was made to apply to the Mil
waukee road, which is considered as
part of a trunk line to Fargo. The B.
w. & G. F. road as far as Wilton has
been raised to $1,000 a mile, but no
change has been made on the extension
from Wilton to Washburn. Railroads
We're equalized last year at SIT. 9S3, 367.
The total value this year will be. about
The total value this year will be
about $20,O00,00 0 Express COM
panies and telegraph and telephone
companies were valued last year at
$534,527, and there will not be a great
change from these, figures this veal.
The state board took up the question
Of real property valuations this morn
ing but nothing definite has been de-
cided upon yet. The total value of
real property as equalized last year
was $T7,S5S,O24. The total real PROP
erty values as returned this year are
$79,619,200. 1t will be seen from this
that there is a considerable natural in
crease in the value of real property.
These figures will probably be in
creased somewhat by the state board.
In the returns above given, Ward
county is omitted, the returns of that
county not being received vet. Per-
sonal property was equalized last year
at S27, 739,423, being increased consid-
erably from the figures returned. This
year personal property is returned at
$27, 1T 1913, exclusive of Ward county.
The total valuation of the state for
purposes of taxation last year was a
little over $124,oO0,OO0. This year
the total will approximate $13O,OOO,-
