OFFICIALS PUZZLED
COUNTY coMMIssIONERs ARE w0T-
 REED BY RULING.
Auditor Decides that They Are Entitled to Only sl0O Year, aBd This They Will Contest tn
 Courts.

Pensacola, Fla, March 2.--(SpeciaL) County Commissioners of Florida, and especially Of this county, afe somewhat nom piussed over recent ruling of the State Auditor and orders from the Governor. regarding the salaries they shall receive. The ruling of the Audi tor Is to the effect that no County Com missioner shall receive more than sl0o year, no matter what duties he may perform. as the laws of the State cover this point very clearly. As q result. 8 number of the Commissioners of this county have been called upon by the Governor to make good the amounts they collected in excess of this amount during the past year, and all have com piled.
 F The commissioners propose to carry the matter to the courts, however, to get a ruling. Heretofore the various County Commissioners. when assigned to look after road work, building of bridges. etc, charged at the rate of &2 per diem with mileage, also making the same charge for attending meetings of the Board. They are now in a dilem- ma as to how to proceed, as they are compelled to continue supervising the work being done in their districts, and the s100 allowed per year will no more than cover the cost of mileage and per diem for attending meetings. Some of them construe the law to mean that the $100 q year is intended for attending meetings, and that all actual expenses in travelling about districts should be .defrayed by the county. Not only has the Governor called for settlement from the present members of the Board, but also from the old Board. which held office for years, and If the former members settle according to this basis. 1t will amount to thousands of dollars

The mobbing of W. K. Vanderbilt. IT,, after he had run over a boy at Pontedera, Italy, last week, was mere ly one of the unpleasant motoring in- eldents in which New Workers have figured on the Continent recently. When Robert Goelet was. taking a honey moon trip in a motor car, he and his wife, who was Miss Elsie Whelen of Philadelphia, were mobbed in the Tyr0i after hls car had upset peasants wagon. John w. Gates has been arr rested for speeding in both London and Paris. Elliott F. Shepard, whose mother was a Vanderbilt, may have to serve a sentence of three months in iail at Paris as a result of killing little child on the road near Paris. MT. Vanderbilt has been arrested at least once for speeding in France and he and his chauffeur have won similar distinction 8n both New York and New mort. MT. Vanderbilt was one of the nIoneer automobilists in America, and his ''White Ghost" a big French car, was a familiar spook in New York Tor several years before motor cars ceas- ed to be a curiosity. Incidentally the DyYhite Ghost won quite record Tor oasuaIties Mir. Vanderbilt gave the now famous Vanderbilt cup. which has twice been raced for on Long Island. Also he is said to be she most popular automohflist in America. This popu- Iarity, however, does not extend to pe- destrians generally.

THE CORPORATIONS
ARE HURRYING IN
They Are Breaking the Record This
Year For The Prompt Payment Of
Their Taxes.

There was another busy season at
the office of the county treasurer. Two
more corporations sent in their taxes.
the Pullman company, and the Western
Union company. The taxes of the for
mer amounted to $2O5 and those Of the
latter to S2O9.
The promptness with which the cor
pOrations are coming in is due in a
great mesUre to the new form OF blank
receipts which have been sent out.
Hitherto the taxes have been sent af-
ter a great deal of correspondence. The
companies naturally wanted to know
all about it, the amount of their as
sessment in each county, the various
rates of taxation and the special tax
rates in the various school districts
through which their properties run.
All this information was conveyed IN
the blank receipts which were mailed
to the corporations with request for
early payment on account of the
schools.
The office has devised a complete di-
rectory of the taxpayers in the coun-
", not only of those who reside i'm the
county, but also of those who reside in
different parts of the world. The cor
rect addresses of ninety-seven per
cent of all are on file and OF the cards
which have been sent to these address
es only three have so far been return

night with young people and their ell
ders, and all appeared to be having a
fine time.
A goodly number Of ghosts were pres
ent, of both sexes, each draped with
sheet and pOllOw case with holes for
eyes, nose and mouth, and all the cleo
trio light globes were covered with
pumpkin shell faces.
There were Gypsy fortune tellers who
were willing to read ones palm if it
was crossed with bit of silver. with
which to obtain food for their hun
CRY little children" In another corner
various tricks were practiced by which
to discover who one was likely to mar
~, and when, and if ones life would
be a happy one.
On the stage, behind a canopy of
palm leaves, refreshments were served
consisting of sandwiches. cake and
pumpkin pie, the guests sitting on the
carpeted floor, and on cushions, by way
of novelty.
The music by the Myrtle orchestra
was much enjoyed, and Miss Heaston
favored the audience with a recitation.

TEMPE
HALLOWEEN FESTIVITIES.
Various Social Functions at Different
Places Wednesday Evening.

Halloween evening passed off very
quietly in Tempe that Is, there seem-
ed to be less excitement than is usually
apparent on that occasion. The festive
small boy was of course up to his usual
pranks, but confined himself to tearing
up small bridges that can be easily re-
placed and doing other mischievous
things that gave him pleasure and
caused the property owner to swear
next morning. There were a number of
social functions given by different ones
during the evening and as study hours
with Normal students had been abol-
ished for the evening, they were large
~ attended by students and others.
The seniors of the two dormitories
gave masquerade party at the dining
hall which was one of the most inter
esting and pleasant events in the his
tory OF the school. 1t was typically a
Halloween affair; the decorations con-
sisted OF black cloth in the shape of
bats, broom sticks, witches caps and
other things peculiar to the evening. It
was very unique throughout, and the
customary jack olantern played a very
prominent part in the decorations. The
electric lights were shaded with green
paper which gave the hall a satisfac-
toriIy ghostIy appearance. The dane
ers were attired in sheets and pillow
cases and all wore masks. Dancing
was INDUCED in until ten o'clock and
light refreshments of apples and nuts

The young ladies of the Glover Leaf
club entertained about thirty friends

berger. There, too. the Hallowe' en-
idea was pleasantly carried out in the
decorations and refreshments of the
evening. Some unusually large jack
o,lanterns furnished the light and
games appropriate to the evening were
played. All present enjoyed the pleas
ant experience of having his or her for
tune told by Mrs. Sewell, who admir-
ably carried out the part of the witch
and fortune teller. 1t was a very pleas

EXCURSION TONIGHT.
Number Of Theatrical Treats in
Store For the South Side.

This evening at 1920 a special train
will leave the Mill avenue station on
account of the appearance there at the
Doris opera house of the famous Lam
bardi Grand Opera company. Manager
Berger of the opera house has so ar
ranged it that Tempe patrons of the
theater may attend AT the same price
as those from Phoenix who are not put
to the expense of transportation. On
that account, the price of the ticket on
the train will be rebated at the box Of
flee upon the purchase of a ticket.
The Lambardi company is without
question, one of the finest musical ag-
gregatiOns that ever played in Phoenix
and lovers of music Of a high grade
will miss a rare treat if they fail to
attend. Such an opportunity does not
often present itself to south side peo-
pie. anC it is chance that should not
be neglected. In order that Normal
students may avail themselves Of the
opportunity to hear the famous opera,
