September or October.
[FRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU.I

Washington. May 13-Secretary Morton an
nounced this afternoon, after a conference at
the White House, that he would retire from
the Cabinet some time next fall.
1t was not my intention to remain Ions in
the Cabinet when I accepted the place" he
said and, though have not definitely decided
when I will leave I think it quite likely that I
VIII retire in September or October"
When you entered the Cabinet did you sever
your connections entirely with the Santa Fe?"
the Secretary was asked
Absolutely" he replied. Although I have
been given to understand that I would be well
coined back in NY old place I have no present
intention of returning when I leave the Cabi-
net"
Have you determined on your future pro-
gramme?"
No Mr.. Morton said. With a smile. q may
retire 70 farm. but confess that l do not
fancy farm life as n regular thing. There is not
quite enough excitement in it,"
If you do not go back to the Santa Fe. YOU
Will be able to get something that will pay you
better?' was suggested to the Secretary
Well" he REPLIED, Z hope that can get
something as good
one OF the newspaper men asked Secretary
Morton about the disposition of John Paul
Jones's body, and another wanted to know if he
was sure the right bones had been found"
14idl TSIhlhdS me OF an old story they used 10
tell out In my part of the country" said the Sec
retary. There was man in Vienna who was
informed by wire that his aunt had died at
Prague He wired back instructions for the
shipment Of the body. and in due time the coffin
arrived at the station. The nephew was there
with hearse to receive the body, and he car
ried 1t reVerently to his home and had it placed
In the parlor. The funeral set for the fol-
lowing day. Late that evening he thought that
he would like to take last look on the face
OF his beloved aunt. so he went into the paror
and unscrewed the lid Of the coffin. What was
his surprise and disappointment to find instead
OF his aunts body that of q Russian general in
full uniform AS quickly a possible he dashed
! off TO the station and got into communication
with the express people at Prague. They could
not account for the mtxup, and referred the mat
ter to st. Petersburg. The next day he got a
| message from high official at the Cars court
| which read:
"'Would advise you to bury the general
! quietly Your aunt was buried here yesterday
| with full military honors'"

6y assessors Decision.

Newport, r. /. May 13.-Mrs Ogden Goelet,
Henry A. c. Taylor. Elbridge 7. Gerry, John r.
DreXel. James J. Van Alen z. r. Thomas and
other New Workers, who have taken up their le-
gal residence in Newport and for years enjoyed
low taxation, will be surprised to learn that the
Board OF Assessors here has taken matters into
its own hands. and Where people did not appear
before it and swear TO The amount of property
it has placed the amounts At figures which, in
its opinion, are just and reasonable
For some years The city of Newport has been
unable to meet its expenses and that the as
SCISSORS have succeeded in remedyirg this is
eVinced by the figures which they have just
made public. In order to get the increased tax
they have largely increased the personal prop
erty valuation of a number of the summer resi-
dents.
a notable instance is the property Of Mrs
ogden Goelet. She has never been taxed on
personal property in Newport and the assessors
could not find that this had ever been done in
New York or any other city. In consequence
she has been taxed for personal property in the
ueighborhood Of SJ00000.
AS far known this is the only new one, but
a large number have been increased. H A c.
Taylor, who last year was taxed on 100000, has
been increased in the neighborhood OF $1,000
900, has been done to the estate OF General
Samuel Thomas. which last year was taxed fol
$Z0U,OO. Last year John II Dre&el was taxed
on 100000 personal property; William G. Weld
on $10O 900; ]. J. Van Allen, on $4,000; Charles
G. Weld and George w. Weld, each S25.O0O
and in each instance the valuation rs bSeI
largely Increased
An idea Of the result of the work OF the as.
SCISSORS this year can be gained from the follow
ing figures: Last year the total valuation was
S43 O39 600 while this year the figures are $685.
626 100 OF this increase of $13. .5ST, 700 all ex'
cept 1914, 600 is personal property. Last
wear the city derived from taxation the sum ot
yVhi
$50
The exact amount of the individual taxes vii
not be known for another week as the books
have to be gone over by the city clerk before
they are open for public inspection.

SsO,OOO,OOO FROM THE BANKS.
Secretary shaw COntemDlates withdrawal
Of ~ Per Cent. OF Government Funds.

% ~ Per Cent. or Government Fundh.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-Ths Secretary
Of the Treasury win probably call for a
withdrawal Of a large percentage Of the
funds which the Government has on de-
posit in national banks some time next
month or very early In May. The plan Is
10 withdraw 25 per cent. Of the deposits,
which would amount TO approximately
go 100000. Secretary Shaw's idea is that
by Withdrawing these funds in the spring,
when money conditions are easy, the Gov
eminent viii be In a better position to ex-
tend aid to the money market next fan
during the crop moving season, In case
there should DO a stringency Of funds for
commercial uses.
The cash balance In the Treasury proper
Is now about so, 900 900, which in the opinion
Of Mr. Shaw Is large enough for the ordinary
needs Of the Government; and his proposal
to withdraw about $40, 1000, 900 from the
banks is dictated solely by the interests
Of the public. His theory Is that the
necessity exists under our present system
Of using artificial means to produos elias
ITCHY. To this end he would reduce the
funds on deposit in the banks in the spring
and expand them, II necessary, in the
autumn months, when the greatest volume
Of currency Is needed in general cirou-
lation.
