In the equalization OF the valuation OF real

the state Board Of Equalization has rated the
valuation for New-York Citv at 67 nar cont
that is. IL has held that the local assessors val
ueo that class of property at 81 per cent of its

their taxes under the law. The amount OF
money due from these corporations is estimated
at between S10OO0,0O0 and SI2OO0OOO The
exact figures cannot be ascertained because the
amount due depends not only on the assessment
made, but also on reductions TO be made under
the Court of Appeals decision and the additions

porations and the assessors have gone into court
and secured orders adjusting the assessments

direction of Naples. but no one knows what
route they will take, even the commanders be-
fore leaving having acknowledged that they
were in the dark regarding the instructions con-

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE


st. Louis Jan. ct became known here to-
day I'm connection with the Doodle prosecutions
that the murder of Circuit Attorney Folk had
been planned. Ex-Governor Charles P. john
son. who Is attorney for many OF those indicted
on charges Of boodlng divulged the plot 20 Mr..
Folk when imploring him to agree TO a con-
tinuance in the case OF Harry Faulkner, who is
charged with bribery in the suburban deal.
He saved your life. and still you will not
grant the continuance" Governor Johnson is
quoted saying.
MOP" said Mr.. Folk. startled by the dramatic
statement from Governor johnson. II do not
know what you mean. but have my duty to do.
and it must be done"
Then Mr. johnson told part of the story. The
men indicted for boodlng held daily meetings.
1t is said and resolution 10 the effect that Folk
must be gotten out OF the way was passed.
Faulkner was not present at the meeting at
which the resolution adopted but was in
formed what had been done and who had been
chosen TO do the work and protested against
the plan. He laughed at for a time, but
finally won a majority to his side.
Governor Johnson declined tonight to make a
statement. II don't think l should do it," he
said because 1t might hurt others besides Mr..
Faulkner l mentioned the matter to Folk be-
cause l thought ne should know. I don't want
to discuss the matter just now"

W4RPARTY DISCREDITED.
Cause of Russian Moderation--
Terms of the Reply.

Paris Jan 9-The Temps this evening gives
prominence to a statement purrOrting TO come
from important private Russian sources ex-
planning Russia's present pacific tendencies. IL
asserts that NJ Bezobrazoff. who has been looked
upon as the leader of the Russian war party,
recently incurred the hostility OF the Grand
Duke Alexander. and that the duke who strenu-
ously opposes war with Japan, succeeded in i'm
pressing his views on the Gar The paper
adds that as a result of the personal feeling
aroused by the incident, NJ BezObrazoff request
ed leave 10 go abroad. and intends TO leave ST.
Petersburg in the next two or three days. thus
confirming previous London and St. Petersburg
reports that NJ BezobrazoT had lost the favor
OF the Czar.
Official advices received here this morning fur
ther convince these in the highest authority
that the Russo-Japanese crisis has been
averted. at least for the present. and that the
situation is again brought distinctly within thu
lines OF diplomatic adjustment. Reports chiefly
from Toxic. but also from ST. Petersburg give
clear view Of the circumstances leading TO the
sudden improvement in the situation. They
show that the Russian answer reached Toxic
en- the night OF January 8. and proved to be the
turning point.

BROADSIDE FOR JEROME.
Chicago Judge Says Words Dis
grace OEce-Jerome Talks.

Chicago. Jan. 9-Judge Edward r. Dunno de-
livered a broadside from the bench to-day
against the sentiments reported 20 have been
expressed by District Attorney Jerome. Of New
York regarding the rough handling OF crooks"
"A law defying. crime melting utterance from
a public official charged with the preservation
OF the peace" was the opinion expressed by
Judge Dunno of District Attorney Jerome's
ported plan OF treating lawbreakers
Judge Dunno gave utterance to this sentiment
after Robert f. Cantwell. an attorney. had rep
resented 10 the court that prisoner who was
arrested and subsequently charged with com
plicity in several murders and robberies had
been roughly handled by the police.
Men in Mr. Jeromes position should not be
guilty OF utteriug such incendiary ard illegal
sentiments" continued Judge Dunno 1T is
most outra geous. unworthy OF tSt and p
disgrace 10 his Office. I astounde&at " :,
Jerome, as / have always believed himSto be a
vigorous prosecutor and an honest man.. 1t Is
simply inciting police officers to commit crI,re
The opinion / have expressed about District
Attorney Jerome is based the assumption
that he WAS correctly quoted saying that
most Of the men charged with crime with US
when brought into court bear evidence OF re-
sistlng an officer. We TO IT that these men
do resist officers force them TO resist and
then bring them in in fragments"
The interview referred TO has also been caus-
tically criticised by Mayor Harrison. The Mayor
said advice TO beat up" prisoners came with
a poor grace from a law officer. In n subsequent
interview. Mr.. Jerome is quoted IN reply to Mr.
Harrison as follows:
II did not say that indorsed the methods OF
the New-York police in handling crooks. but
did say and know. that rough handling has
ebated crime to a great extent. II good has
been accomplished there is some excuse for the
means employed
Mr.. Jerome came TO Chicago to deliver an ad-
dress at the Merchants Club. He will leave for
New-York tomorrow morning.

Suggestion Not Taken Seriously by
Russian Government.

St. Petersburg. Jan. 9.-The suggestion of tho
ern situation is regarded premature in dipIo-
matte circles here. It Is not considered seriously
and it is pointed out that the Russo-Japanesen ne
sotiations not broken of The opinion here
is that any proposition of Intervention would be
useless and probably harmful.
The Foreign Office thinks that the only possi-
biIity in this connection would be the attempt
of the Western powers to impress on Japan the
serious consequences of war. and it is added
that for it's part the Russian government does
not need advice.
