.SCHLEY WOULDN'T SERVE
IF ELECTED PRESIDENT
Also Announces He Is Writing a Book
Covering His Forty-fve Years
of Service.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 17.-Rear Admiral
Schley arrived in the city shortly be-
fore noon yesterday, to remain, until
tomorrow morning. the guest of the
local Mystic Shriners. At o'clock the
admiral was received publicly in the
Chamber Of Commerce. A great crowd
was in attendance. Admiral Schley
made ten-minute address. Among
other things he said: ST was only one
of great number who proved faithful
and true to the traditions OF Bunker
Hill, Apponattox. Mobile Bay. and New
Orleans. This is as 1t will ever be,
where there is no king except the peo-
pie. This great country is worth fight
ing fort is worth dying for"
Last night at the Shriners' reception
the admiral spoke at some length. but
along the same lines as at the Cham
Der of Commerce. He was the guest
later. at the Queen City Club, OF Mayor
Fleischmann. the gathering being an
informal one.

question:

he was writing a book which would
deal strictly with the facts Of his serv-

death and taxes" will cease to have
meaning, and taxes will be paid, If at
all by the direct interposition Of
providence.
Consider these figures from the As
SCISSORS book. In 1894 property was
exempted as follows: Churches,
$4,613,192; charitable, $2,371,125, and
educational, $2,O72, 169. This makes
a total of a little over 100000.
Taking an average between 1894 and
1904, the amount exempted in the last
ten years has approximated S10,000,-
600 year, or $1O0,OOO,OO0. This rep
resents a total tax loss to the District
of $1,500,000. In the next ten years
the loss will be 100000.
