Capt Ryan, the new British Naval Attache, said at dinner in Washing ton: "The strength of the heads of some of our old school farmers is quite incredible. At a harvest supper, a feast similar in it's way to your Thanksgiving dinner, there was an old farmer who had drank good deal of champagne. The moment his glass was filled he would toss it off, and then, of course, it would be filled again. But the old fellow grew quieter and quieter the more champagne he drank. A frowp settled on his forehead. His eyes flashed angrily under his heavy filled his glass with wine for the twelfth or thirteenth time, he shook his head and said: James, when are you going to put the whiskey on the table?

JUST A FAMILY JAR
George Jcpson and His Sister -ln-Law
Appear In Court.

One OF the family jars you read about
was held aloft in police court Tuesday
afternoon. when the case of George Jep-
son charged with assault and battery
upon Mrs. Agnes Jepson, was brought
before Judge Dlehl.
The woman is q sisrer-ln-law of Jep-
son The latter had a spat with his
wife who advised her sister that she
expected further trouble with her hus-
band MRS. Jacobson: who lives at lsA
South Third East street, next door to
the Jepsons. heard. so she testified
shrieks coming from the Jepsop home
and supposed that her sister was being
killed.
With the light OF battle in her eye
Mrs Jacobson rushed into her sister s
home, and nearly had the light put out
by a broom stick In the hands OF Jepson
That's what Mrs. Jacobson said In court
When Jepson cross examined her with
the skill of trained lawyer, by asking
her whether or not he had his hat in
his hand Instead of a broom stick the
witness said she knew the difference by
this time between a broomstlck and a
hat She didn't state whether she had
had personal experience with either
weapon"
So that Jepson can secure witnesses
for his side. the court adjourned the
case until today at o'clock.

AGAINST SIX GREEKS

was crowded Tuesday afternoon win
many Greeks, their friends ana onlooh-
ers, who came to hear the preliminary
hearing OF six Greek laborers, said TO
have taken part In the recent uprising
at the Garfield smelters.
Seated at one side OF the room say
the six swarthy Greeks Their names
were George Pappas. John Memalis

minor foreman, Walter Reed. deputy
sheriff; Joseph Jordan, boss carpenter
at the works. and E w. Cornish, ware
houseman, testified similarly to the
first Witness for the county. who, In
substance, stated that while there were
threatening gestures shown by the ex-
cited Greeks, and that while the ma
iority Of them carried and brandished
dangerous weapons In the shape OF
bofermakers' hammers. rivet-irons,
clubs, stones and rails, none OF the
Americans or officials was struck, al
though II was stated several attempts
were made to strike the witnesses at
that time.
According to the testimony, the
Greeks became angry and excited be-
cause Geaniatselis. known as No. l2l6,
was discharged from the work They
hocksd around Transeau. who had
charge OF that particular gang, and
threatened to beat out his brains. 1t Is
said. II he didn't permit Whats-hls-
name to return to work. What-you-
may-call-'em went back to work, any,
way. and was thrown out Of the gang
by Transeau.
Nobody Was Hurt.
Then things occurred Nobody WAS
hurt, although the atmosphere was
ruptured and seriously injured by
aforesaid gestures and brandishings.
Shortly afterward. this gang quilt
work, and, rushing to the other gangs,
compelled them to quit, and join In
the strike, II was stated. 1t appears
that the entire trouble rests upon the
enmity of the Greeks toward their gem
eral foreman, Reardon. They demand
ed that he be discharged and they also
demanded a nine-hour day with ten
hours pay.
Prosecutor Lyon was unable to prove
that actual blows were given and taken
during the rumpus, or that destruction
TO lives or property was threatened.
The court adjourned the case until 10
o'clock this morning. when the testi-
mony of other witnesses will be sub

BOARD EQUALIZATION
FINISHES REBAT|NG
Commissioners of Salt Lake
County Conclude Work of Do
mating to Alleged Poor.

The last session of the County Board
been held and the figures on the work
transacted by the board compiled. The
figures show that. while the abatement
on the amount of assessed valuations
is considerably less this year than in
1905. the amount OF taxes abated Is
considerably greater and the county is
worse off this year than it was last as
q result of the sessions of the board.
The figures are as follows:
Real Improve Personal Tax
Estate. ments. Property. Total. Abated
SIS, Ass s62,575. s17S,013 s266. .043 S40l0
s16.s33. s39,S16. s176,451. s233, 3,099 s4425.
1t will be seen that the decrease In
the amount of assessed valuation abat-
ed amounts TO S32 944 The tax on this,
based on ga mills, which Will proba bly,
be the amount for this year. amounts
to Sis in favor of the county, On the
other hand. there is an increase in the
tax abated which amounts TO S415. TAX
ing from this amount the $llo decrease
In tax abated on assessed valuations.
there still remains a balance Of $500
more in actual cash abated this year
In excess OF the amount that was abat-
ed last year.
Almost this whole excess lies In the
tax that is abated TO widows under the
provisions OF the law which allows In
digent persons to have an abatement
OF their taxes and which is being taken
advantage OF more and more every year
by class OF people who are not TO be
considered ndigents In the least extent.
The Tribune has pointed out that this
practice is being increased from year
10 year and the advantage that the law
allows 10 INDECENT persons is being
abused by persons WHO are not entitled
to this advantage.
