TAX EQUALIZATION,
Meeting of State and County Boards
Held Today.

The state board Of equalization and
the county board OF equalization Of
Salt Lake county met this morning in
The rooms Of the former board In the
Dooly block where the county board
made explanations of reductions by
them Of certain valuations. The first
thing done was the reading OF the reso-
luton passed by the county board Of
equalization. and for which the state
board asked an explanation. The as
SCISSOR gave a history OF the assess
ments made and how he had increased
them. He met the complaints Of peo-
pie by stating that the board would
fix everything that was too high, and
that as regards lands out in the coun-
ty he made the assessments on the
supposition that II was going TO be a
good year for water and irrigation.
Fully rs per cent OF the county had
been affected by the drouth and county
valuations are, according to the county
board, too high under the circum-
stances. The members Of the county
board consider that their position has
been fully defended, and had plats Of
both city and county to base their
statements on The state board mem
bers thought that the business blocks
IN the city had been assessed too low,
and went out this afternoon to investi-
gate for themselves.

Testimony In Injunction Proceedings
Under Way This Afternoon.

In the injunction suit brought by
Stewart T. Tanner against state Super
lntendent Of Schools Nelson, Judge Hall
Is this afternoon hearing the testimony
on the order to show cause why the de-
PENDANT should not be restrained from
entering into any contract with text
book firms whose books were adopted
by the recent text book convention for
use in the schools of this state for the
ensuing five years,
The complaint alleges that the bids
for the books were not publicly opened
and read, as advertised, az the conven-
ton and hence the work OF the conven-
ton was Illegal and without right or
authority Of law. That II such pretend
ed proposals are accepted that II Will
necessitate a change In all but three
out Of the 81 books in use by the schools
of the state at present. That IL said
change is made II will entail an eX-
pense on the taxpayers Of the state
who send children to school Of thou
sands Of dollars for the next five years.
The answer Of Superintendent Nell
son sets out that the proposals were
publicly opened and read as required
by law, and that tabulated statement
OF the proposals was furnished each
member OF the convention That %
fraud concealment or unfair Partially
was exercised by the convention, but
its meetings were openly and publicly
held and that all Of its transactions
were entirely within the law

demurrer to the complaint In Judge

REMARKABLE C0URTSHlP.
Two Hours in Salt Lake Enables Sol
der IN Find a Wife.

The marriage OF Miss Florence Levin
and Moses Resi-. which occurred at the
home Of the brides parents on East
Seventh South street Sunday evening
was quite remarkable In respect to the
circumstances that led up to It. Mr.
Resi- was a soldier and served In Cuba.
When the war terminated there In 1900
he was ordered TO the Philippines and
he passed through this city on his way
10 the Orient. He only had two hours
to spend here. but during that time he
wandered around on State street and
sauntered into Mr., Levins store In
search Of a souvenir. He found one but
he did not take her until Sunday night.
From the moment the soldier and Miss
Levin met love cast It's spell over them
and during the formers two years SER
vice In the Philippines correspondence
kept alive the flame that was enklndled
80 quickly on the 18th inst. Resi- was
discharged from the army. then he
came directly 10 Salt Lake to claim his
bride. The ceremony was performed
Sunday night In the presence OF about
200 friends. A supper was spread and
music was furnished by Held's band.
Mr. and Mrs Resi- are now AT home 10
their friends at 500 east Seventh South

DEATH OF YOUNG MAN.
Aldon CrOCheron Suecumbs to an At'
tack Of Appendicitis.

Aldon Crocheron, the 25-year-old son
Of George w. Crocheron of this city,
died at the Holy Cross hospital last
night after having been operated upon
for appendicitis in the early part OF
the day. The young man had suf-
fered from the aflliction for long time
and as he was not aware OF the nature
Of his ailment he neglected medical
treatment unil his condition carried him
beyond all hope DIR. Wilcox was
called in to see him yesterday morning
and realizing at once the character OF
his trouble, had him removed to the
hospital where he performed the opera
tion with the hope that II was not yet
too late The operation, however, only
revealed to the doctor the hopeless
stage the unfortunate man had
reached After lingering in semi
conscious condition for a few hours the
young man quietly expired.
His demise Is Of unusual sadness for
the reason that he leaves q bride Of on
ly a few weeks, and they had just be-
gun TO feel the Joy of looking together
into a hopeful future The funeral ar
rangements have not been completed
