Kraus declared that his wife had
not given birth to the child, but had
procured few days old baby from
a neighbor, which she represented as
hers in order to deceive him.
Amelia C. Bethman, a midwife, tes-
titled that in February, 1897, girl

CITY GOVERNMENT FOR DAWSON
Americans Secure the Rejection Of
the Commission Plan.

TACOMA, Wash, Jan 29.-After a
strong fight the city of Dawson de-
cided on Jan. 10 that it desires city
government, with mayor and council,
rather than government by com
mission to be appointed by the terri.
torial governor.
A month ago Governor Ross an
noupced he would no longer spend his
time and energy on local administra-
tion affairs. He accordingly gave
Dawson the privilege of choosing be
tween an elective government or an
appointive committee. The polite
al battle which followed was the liv-
liest ever held in the far north. The
trading companies and heavy tax
payers preferred an appointive gov
ernment, believing expenses and tax
es would thereby be lessened The
supporters OF an elective government
won by majority of 79 votes out oi
a total of 6S7.
Only British subjects were allow
ed to vote. although Americans com
prise two-thirds of Dawson's popula
ton. The Americans actually con
trolled the election, because enough oi
them took the oath OF allegiance tc

to turn the balance against the com

was opposed to the principle OF self

A STEIN
TOO MANY
Stock Of Goods Valued at $3,-
305 January for Taxa
ton Purposes
I8 Days Later Becomes Worth
$I8,0OO-for Insurance
Adiusters

Listing of taxable property and
In losses by fire, including amounts
of insurance collected sometimes
present figures widely at variance,
and there probably has not been a
more interesting case of this charac-
ter in the history of La Plata county
than is presented in situation
which has shown itself in adjusting
the insurance on the Stein stock of
goods recently damaged by fire.
Morris Stein is the conductor of
the Stein enterprise in Durango, and
the stock of goods is listed on the
tax rolls by Jennie Stein. For the
year 1900 the valuation was given in
to the assessor at $2,235.
For 1901 = 1t was given in at
50, ,3O5.
When the stock of goods was re.
Gently damaged. Morris Stein made
the statement that the value of the
stock had just short time before
the fire invoiced $4,000.
The insurance adjustors when they
had finished going over the store
paid on the Stein stock $S.6S2.66.
If there has been a bolder case OF
fraudulent listing of tax values in
La Plata county 1t probably has new
er been unearthed. At least 1t has
not been presented to public notice.
Taxpayers who either give in OF
are assessed at something near the
value of their possessions would mt
doubt be interested to know who tht
Stein enterprise has managed so sue
cessfully to defraud the public ol
its just need in the way of taxes
Other business enterprises in Duran
go and the surrounding country
| which pay taxes on fair and reasons
BILE valuations do not receive any
| special benefits from the methods
practiced by the Stein institution.
Fair minded people who believe in
fair and equitable basis of taxation
and faithful payment will find in this
situation lesson which suggests a
duty. Those people who believe In
fairness in the transaction of both
public and private business will moi
be ready to indorse the Stein meth
| DDS. and In the same thought thai
condemns such practices there
| should be a resolution to extend ia
vor and patronage to those who pur
| sue methods more fair and just.
Taxpayers who give in honest valu
ations will find 1t difficult to com
pete with business enterprises tina,
pay on one-ninth of their valuation, tc
| say nothing of the temporary disad
vantage Of meeting the prices at firt
| sales.
1t is the duty OF the proper officer.
of La Plata county to proceed to th'
collection of taxes from the Stein en-
terprise on at least the amount of tn,
insurance paid Several thousant
dollars worth of goods were lef
which were damaged more or less
and these will probably be sold fo
an amount equal to that of the insur
ance. 1t is true that no one saw,
Morris Stein may ever know wha
this amount will be.

Schley to take full charge.
It is asked in the appeal especially
that the president approve Admiral
Dewey's statement that Admiral
Schley was then in command. He
says only in this way can he re-

The appeal also shows that Schley

squadron successfully, obeyed orders
