Residents Who Leave Gates and Doors
Open.

Mai. Sylvester has frequently called at
tention to the habit people have of leaving
gates, doors and windows unfastened,
which in many cases is an invitation to
thieves to enter and commit depredations.
Seldom a night passes that the police do
not find a number of instances in which
there is evidence of such neglect. Last
night the superintendent of police gave or
ders to the men on duty after midnight to
make a careful inspection OF premises on
their beats. Reports received from all but
one precinct today showed that the officers
found 32I back gates open, 8 doors that
had not been locked, 2 windows open and
2 stables that had not been fastened.

Taxes Paper Nin Man Drowns-L Lew
iston Farmer Held Up in His Own
arn-Embezzler Sentenced.

Gov. La Toilette has given it out that
an investigation of the books Of the rail-
roads had shown that the State had been
deprived of taxes as the result of incor-
rect reports. and that 81 ,00O.000 or more
would assuredly be received from the cor
porations. The announcement was ac-
companicd by figures of an extended eX-
pert investigation made by accountants
under the direction of j. W. Thomas,
State commissioner of railroads. The
figures show that it has been the custom
for the railroads to omit to report in
their annual statements of earnings, sub
stantial items of various kinds. and par
ticularly the amounts of rebates paid to
favored shippers these latter amounting
to millions of dollars. These unrc?orted
earnings are subject to the State lrense
lee tax of 4 per cent on the gross earn
ings. The railroad commissioner reports
that the railroads have refused him ac-
cess to some of their books, particularly
the st. Paul company, which refused to
give information regarding free transpor-
tation and mileage allowed by the road.
He recommends that the powers OF the
commissioner be increased, If necessary.
that the investigation be widened in
scope and that the examination of the
books be carried into all related depart
ments of railroad business and carried
back as far in years as the roads have
been operating in this State.
