avenue, an employe of the Pennsyl
vania railroad, is suffering from a out
on the head and another on the upper
part Of the leg, received under mys.
terious circumstances while he was al
work last night. The police attach
no theory Of foul play, but DR.. H. N.
Brace, who was called to attend Trap.
hagen, is not 50 optimistic, because
of the nature of the cut on the leg
and the fact that Traphagen could
not tell how re received his wounds
He was found in the yard near the
State street depot, where his duties
lay.
Patroiman L G. Jensen and Detec-
tive Huff were notified of Traphagen S

suffered fall His cap was nearby.
DR.. Brace was called bout IL clock
to Lehman's cafe, at State and Fay
cite streets, were Traphagen was in a
rear portion, in semi-conscious con-
dition.
DR.. Brace said this morning that
the cut on Traphagen's head might
have come from fall, being jagged
and irregular. The cut on the leg,
hnwever, is clean and regular, about
half-i wide, and rather deep.
Traphagen is about thirty years Of

Trenton, Feb. 8:-Governor Stokes,
today, transmitted to the Legislature
the reports Of the commission ap'
pointed by Governor Murphy last
winter TO investiea'o @ the taxing system
o. he STATE, popu ally referred to as
the Equal Tax Commission There
are four reports altogether compris'
ing about rs 900 words, or fifty
live columns Of newspaper space.
4 After the reading Of the report 10
the assembly, il was referred to the
judiciary committee and 1000 copies
" ,re ordered printed.
AL The reports agree ppon four re-
comm indai net d al thu recon-
mendRtions embrace pti ciples dis
cAssed by Governor Stokes in his
inaugural address. Tne Itcommenda.
tions are in harmony with tha sueges-
tlons made by the governor in that
address.
The oommissi ou, which cOns's OF
r.. Chandler W Riker. former Governor
George T Werts, Carl L4ntz, Harry
j. West and Charles @ Black, held its
final meeting OF the state house yes
terday afternoon hut did not complete
its labois until too late for tho reports
to get to the legislature. Therefore
rhe Legislature held a session today to
receive them.
Th-re is one majority report signed
by MessIs Wer,s, L9utz and West
Mr.. Kiker presented report OF his
own, and Mr.. Back pr s2ntsd third
one, while Mr.. W,st presented
supplementary report to the general
majority report. They were all sent
to the governor and were by him sent
TO the legislature without recon-
mendations.
The four points upon which the
commissioners agreed were: FIRST,
That there should be state heard OF
equalization. which should be review
board with power to equalize assess
ments either by reducing or iucreas'
ing; second Tat the lcgsla ure
should provide for q maximum tax
rate: third, That all ralroud property
should be assessed by state board:
fourth, That all second class railroad
property should be assessed ny a state
board, aud that this assessments should
be included in the raGables OF th9
locali les in which the property
should be found to be located, this
second class proDerty to pay at the
local rates and for he benefit of the
localities in which it should be
situated. This fourth recommenda
tion is in line with the recoTme nda
tion of the platform OF last falls re
publican state convention, and if en-
acted into law would add from 500,
coo to $500. 000 annually to the taxes
to be paid in New jersey by railroad
corporations OF this amount Je' sey
City, Hoboken, Camden and other
terminel p0in's w1uld get by far the
greater proportion.
A remarkable feature of the report
Of Mr.. Black, who was the d mocrGtic
candidate for governor last fall, is his
recommendation that all rail road prop
erty should be assessed by state

all the real resemblance they have to
each other is at the back between the
shoulders which is made after the form
Of a robe de mutt. But the vests are
superb in the way Of embroidery and
dne hand work. They reach quite IN
to the ears. Under them. where the en-
tire suit is not of one fabric, there is
worn 8. eorsage of silk Of some kind. and
over this a bolero. And how these
boleros are trimmed! They would put
TO shame the stifiy embroidered ones OF
the very bas cadine hanum Of the sui
tan's household.
Many Of the wraps are in the form of
paletots and redingotes. Others again
are of the shape known in America as
REFERS, with double breasted effect and
large buttons. One very chic costume
trotteuse was of dull gray English
tweed. made with two bias straps OF
chiffon corded velutina in the exact
shade. The REFER was double breasted
with large black buttons and tiny pock-
cts It made a very pleasing costume
when the hat Of gray with four Grim
son pIumes was added. I said colors
were brilliant. Quite a number Of en-
pire coats are very long and made OF
white or cream cloth, or even cashmere
or silk and trimmed with fur in some
quality which adds to the beauty of the
material. CATHERINE TALBOT.
