CHLOROFORMS YOUNG WOMAN
Stranger Evidently Attempts to Commit
Murder in Hanscom Park.
VICTIM REFUSES TO DlVULGE NAMES
Woman Lying Face Down and
Just Recovering Con-
seriousness.
I'M REFUSES TO DlvULGE NAMES

A refined looking, we'll dressed woman,
about 25 years of age, wac found in an un-
conscious condition in the west side of
Hanscom park near Center street at 1880
o'clock Sunday evening. After being re-
stored to consciousness she refused to give
her name and stated that she had been
drugged by a man with whom she had been
stopping at the Her Grand hotel.
At 1880 o'clock Mr.. and Mrs. A. C. Fos-
ter of 2130 South Thirty-third street were
passing the park, when a man rushed out
and told them a woman had tainted in the
park. Mr.. and Mrs. Foster found the
woman lying face down almost uncon-
scious.
A handkerchief which was near the
woman's face was saturated with chloro-
form. DR.. s. M. Campbell was called and
restored the woman to consciousness. She
refused to give her name and stated that
she did not want anyone to know of the
affair.
MY companion" she said, asked me to
take a drink Of whisky and l did so, and
began to lose my senses almost immedi-
ately. / remember of seeing him leave me
and that Is ALL"
The. patrol wagon was sent for, but by
the time 1t arrived the woman
had recovered and was able to walk
alone. She requested DR.. Campbell to
accompany her to the Burlington depot,
which be did, and the woman boarded g
westbound train. Before going to the sta
ton she went to the Her Grand and, after
looking at the register. told DR., Campbell
that her companion had paid his bill and
left. DR.. Campbell said there was a strong
odor OF ohloroform about the woman, but
he was OF the opinion, owing to her rapid
recovery, that she suffered more from the
effects Of the whisky than the chloroform.
Mr.. Anderson, clerk at the Her Grand, said
he did not know the woman's name and
was sure she had not stopped there. The
woman refused to give the name Of her
companion, but stated that she was sure he
attempted to kill her.

As to Depreciation.

In cross-examination by Attorney Pritch-
EFT Mr.. Klumpp said the company's prop
erty had deprecated in value greatly In the
two years he had been superintendent Of its
manufacturing plant. The depreciation of
its entire personal property, including man
ufacturing apparatus, boilers and mains, he
thought, had been about 25 per cent since
1897.
Tax COMMISSIONS Fleming testified that
he had assessed all the property Of the
city, both personal and real, at 40 per cent
Of Its fair cash value, The property of the
Ave public service corporations had been
subjected to the same rule as other prop
erty. Hascall asked him by what right he
assessed It at 40 per cent OF It's fair cash
value when the law said 1t must be assessed
at its fair cash value.
Because the 40 per cent basis has been
the custom for years." was the answer,
land because to assess at a fair cash value
would be to levy an unequal assessment,
since the railroad property of the city was
assessed on the 40 per cent basis by the
State Board of Railway Assessors"
"Did the gas company, in making its re-
turn to you OF its personal property, in
clude an item OF $2.0s7,0 oG of bonded in

Says Bat,,n ought to Know.

A significant point in the testimony Of
Mr.. Klumpp was that Isaac Battin, treas
urer, was in a position to know as to the
value. mileage and condition Of the COM

urday that he had no knowledge on this
subject.

Argue on Forty Per Gent Basis.
The first hour of the afternoon session
was devoted to an argument between At
torney Mcintosh and Attorney Pritchett
on the subject of the 40 per cent basis.
Mr.. Pritchett said in part:
The assessoSs and Board OF Review
may have adopted the 40 per cent basis
Of assessment. but they did not employ 1t.
1t may have been 5 per cent, or 1t may
have been rs per cent, but 1t wasn't 40 per
cent. With the exception Of perhaps one of
the Ave corporations the 40 per cent basis
was not employed In a single instance In
this city. Men who were worth as much as
|oV,VVV WOuiu give III tneiT property at
$500 and the assessors would accept 1t at
that figure. take 40 per cent of II, which is
$500, and the assessment would be so en-
tered on the tax rolls, and they call that
applying the 40 per cent standard"
Mr.. Mcintosh said in part: II dare say
many Of the assessors did err In many
instances in arriving at the value Of prop
erty. but that doesn't change the standard
OF assessment-they employed the 40 per
cent basis just the same. The question is,
What was the aim they ad? not whether
they always succeeded In fixing the correct
valuation upon the property. There was
a time when complaints could have been
made against any unequal assessments,
and that was before the Board of Equaliza-
tIon reported. The fact that such com
plants were not made is equal to an ad-
mission hat the assessments were equita-
BILE and Just. VIII you admit. gentlemen
of the board, that you certified back e
the tax commissioner a tax list In which
personal property was assessed at one
standard and real property at another?"
