What has been the result in law
Four judges Of the Federal court next
to the highest have declared unan.
imously that the President Was right.
As a matter of form and to btain a
final decision as to the status OF the
enormous property interest involved,
an appeal has been taken, out the
appellants practically concede that a
reversal is not hoped.
What has been the result as to the
Presidents political futuref Friends
and enemies alike concede today as
James NJ. Beck tersely put the situa-
ton at the Gran: dinner OF the Ameri-
Gus club OF Pittsburg on Monday,
that no political event is better as
sured than the nomination of Theodore
Roosevelt. = The men who started out
to discredit the President because he
enforced the law have given up hope
Of preventing his nomination.
THE Republican party, as Secer.
tary Moody said the same evening at
Boston, "has many men who could
take the Presidents place, but they

last November was unmistakable. IL

cloCk-AIderman Think Figures are

Assessor Edwin Fraser was under a
cross fire of questions before the
Board of Aldermen last night. 1t was
an adjourned meeting to consider the
tax duplicates which had recently been
filed. When the discussion had been
carried on but short time Alderman
at-large Eckert arrived and the board
Immediately adjourned until Monday
night and went into session as the
Committee of the Whole which was
held in private. This lasted until
after 10 O'Clock.
In the absence of Mr.. Eckert, Chair
man Campbell was chosen as chairman
at the opening of the meeting. He
annoucned that the city clerk had
notified all the assessors to appear be.
fore the board last night to explain
their books, but only Mr.. Fraser APP
peared, the other two being out of
the city.
The aldermen got right down to
work and alderman Runyon began to
ply Mr.. Fraser with questions. He
asked if the assessors had worked to-
gether and that if all had placed a
valuation on a property or if only one
had gone alone. Mr.. Fraser said that
ach assessor had expressed an opin-
ion.
- ]" Some properties would not bring
three quarters what they are assessed
for in these pooks," said Mr.. Run
yon.
"Will you name such an instance, "
said the assessor.
1.-THE Comfort property at the foot
of Smith street is assessed at $11, 200. "
81 think it would bring more than
that" said Mr.. Fraser. 1T has a
frontage on three streets and is in a
good location"
I"don't think property should be
assessed at what it cost" declared
Mr.. Runyon, "but at what it what it
would probably bring under the ham
mer."
81 think the Comfort property
would bring that under the hammer.
l was recently appraised at $4,000 "
a Alderman Donovan asked If it was
not customary to assess at two-thirds
the value. Mr.. Fraser declared that
the law said true value" and they
could not assess at anything else but
he thought all the properties well
within the limit.
Alderman Toft asked how they as
sessed factories. Mr.. Fraser said that
all three judged that and each factory
was considered differently.

Found them Missing.
MATRON ALSO LOSER.
Money, Watch and Articles of Value Stolen
Police have Case in Charge B Believed
to have Suspicion, but no Arrests have
yet been NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Con-
tinue.

A peculiar case of suspected theft
has Just leaked out, which may lead
to an arrest in the near future. The
police have been notified and are
working on the case.
Alexander Clark, formerly employ
ed as draughtsman by the Perth Am
boy Shipbu1lding & Engineering Co. =,
who boards at the home of Ex-mayor
Ira B. Tice, went to the city hospital
on June 81 for treatment. When he
entered he gave into the charge of the
institution silver watch and chain
valued at about $25, $40, a pearl
handled knife, several keys, and other
article to the value of $15, making a
total of over $50 These were put in
an envelope and this was put away
with some $50 belonging to the matron
of the institution, Miss Bamber.
When Mr.. Clark was leaving the
hospital on August 2, he was in
formed that his belongings, together
With MISS BamDefs money was MISS
ing.
No trace of the missing articles or
of the guilty parties has as yet been
secured.
Speaking with a News reporter
yesterday, Miss Bamber said that the
loss had been reported to the police,
but that she did not care Ito discuss
the case. Mr.. CLARK is very anxious
to recover the lots articles, especially
the watch, which belonged to his
grandfather, and which he prizes
highly. There is a suspicion as to
who the thief is. He had been work
ing about the place and it was short
time after he left that the articles
mentioned were missing.
