Against Endorsement Of Roose-

has taken much pains to prevent the
least doubt as to his wishes relative to
the Endorsement of President Roosevelts 5
candidacy by the approaching Repub-
liean state convention He is unequiv-
ocaly opposed to such action and
brands the attempt of Senator Foraker
to obtain the Endorsement as malicious.
To Colonel Entrekin. collector of Gus
toms at Chillicothe. the senator said:
4 am very much dissatisfied with
Senator Foraker's attitude on the ques-
tion of indorsing Roosevelt at the COM
ing convention. 1t is almost malicious.
They want to smoke me out, but I will
not stand for it, My ambitions are roe
a matter of discussion now. AS far as
am able, I have emphatically defined
my position toward the Republican
presidential nomination. This cornine
convention has no right to bind the next
convention to anything anyway"

TO RACE BOTH SHAMROCKS.
Sir Thomas Upton Will Enter Old
Boat in Yacht Contests.

New York. May 23.-American yachts
men and the members of the New York
Yacht club in particular will probably
be SURPRISED to hear that Sir Thomas
Lipton has Il double purpose in sending
both Shamrocks across the Atlantic at
this time. and that the old Shamrock is
not sent over simply to act as trial boat
for Shamrock III, cables the American
London correspondent.
1t is said that not only will the
Shamrock I be used for a trial boat
for the new boat but that it is Sir
Thomas purpose to enter Shamrock
in the New York Yacht clubs cruise
and any races and regattas to which
she may be eligible against the Colum-
bia, Constitution and Reliance.
It is not Sir Thomas idea to enter her
in the trial and cup race as they would
of course be confined to an American s
designed boat exclusively. but he thinks
the American people would like to see
what the old Shamrock could do against
the American boats and believes that it
would add an International flavor to the
preliminary races that would interest
the English and American people almost
as much as the cup races
Sir Thomas and Designer Fife believe
that the old Shamrock never had a fair
chance against the Columbia in 1899,
owing to Mr.. Flies illness. and that had
her designer been on board she would
have made better showing.

PHONES PAY WELL.
Why State Assessors Think Tax
Is Too Low.

TIE telephone business is evidently
an extremely profitable one, judging by
the returns made to the state board of
telegraph and telephone assessors by
the various telephone companies in the
state which are subject to assessment
by the company. These returns show
that IN a majority of instances the re-
ceipts of the companies for a single
year are IN excess of the total assess
ment placed on them In some in
stances the receipts last year were more
than twice the assessed valuation.
The valuation is fixed according to
the number of pole and miles of wire in
toll lines, and in city exchanges the
number of Instruments and number of
drops on the switchboard are consfd-
cred in addition to the polls and wire.
For first class toll lines the valuation
Is $50 per mile for the poles and first
wire, and Sc per mile for each addi-
tional wire. For first class exchanges
the assessment is 81 for each pole, Sc
per mile for wire, Sc for each instrU-
ment, and 81 for each drop. There.
are only three companies of the first
class in the state, the Missouri & kan
sas, the Interstate and the Topeka IN
dependent
Second class companies are assessed
S25 a mile for poles and the first wire
and 81 a mile for each additional wire
for toll lines, and for exchanges 81 per
pole, 81 for each mile of wire, 81 per
instrument, and 81 per drop
This makes a considera bic increase
on the assessments of some companies
over that of last year. For instance,
the assessed valuation of the Missouri
& Kansas company is increased from
$220.S14 in 1902, TO 1888. .504 in 1903. In
some instances the assessed valuation
fixed by the board this year is three
times as great as that turned in by the
companies. but in the face of this the
assessed valuation is, as a rule below
the receipts of the business during the
past year The following table shows
the assessed valuation of each plant
and the receipts of the past year. as re-
ported by the companies themselves:
